Lu Corporation Headquarters
During a recess at the shareholders' meeting, Cheng Jue reported to his boss about Su He trending on the hot search. "Should we remove the trending topic according to the usual procedure?"
Lu Yanbei cast a glance, a sharp glint flashing across his stern face. "Prepare the lawyer's letter. I don't want to see any false reports like this in the media."
"Yes." Cheng Jue acknowledged and immediately contacted the group's legal team.
Upon receiving the call, the legal team couldn't help but find it amusing.
"Is it really necessary for us to get involved in such a minor matter? Isn't it making a mountain out of a molehill?"
"Exactly. Usually, these issues resolve themselves once the hype dies down. There's no need to be so serious about it."
Unaware of Su He's relationship with their boss, they all felt the reaction was a bit excessive.
"As long as it concerns Miss Su, it's no small matter," Cheng Jue reminded them solemnly. "Handle this before the end of the workday, or you'll bear the consequences if the boss gets angry."
"Is it really that serious!" someone discerned a hint of something from his words. "Special Assistant Cheng, do you know something?"
Cheng Jue couldn't elaborate, merely hinting, "In short, this Miss Su has a special identity. You'll know in time."
"Special? Isn't she just Young Master Lu's ex-sister-in-law?"
"Didn't she leave the Lu family?"
"Young Master Lu is fair about grudges. Perhaps he's showing her more consideration because she successfully brought good luck to the old master."
The group speculated amongst themselves, never considering a personal connection.
With Lu Corporation's intervention, the trending topic was indeed taken down. Not only that, but the author who posted it was also forced to apologize, stating the report was fabricated, and posted the lawyer's letter they received.
Subsequently, those who had reposted the article also deleted it at the fastest possible speed, fearing they would offend the Lu family.
Because it hadn't spread widely, the matter was quickly suppressed.
Su He searched for related keywords, but to her surprise, no relevant content appeared; it had been completely erased.
This demonstrated the power of Lu Corporation.

"How could this happen!" Zhou Yingzi repeatedly refreshed the webpage, wanting to see the comments insulting Su He, only to find that the page kept displaying 'page cannot be displayed.' She was dumbfounded.
It was on the hot search just two hours ago, how could it suddenly disappear?
Zhou Yingzi refused to believe it and searched a few more times, still finding no related information. "Damn it! Who is helping her behind the scenes!"
"Do you even need to ask? It's the Lu family, of course," her best friend analyzed.
"Why! She's already divorced my brother!" Zhou Yingzi roared indignantly.
Her best friend pursed her lips, thinking: You really think of yourself as part of the Lu family!
As everyone knew, their family had absolutely no connection to the Lu family! Before, Young Master Yan had allowed them to show filial piety to the old master for Lu Yunting's sake. But they had grown greedy, trying to usurp the position!
How ridiculous!
If it weren't for the resources Zhou Yingzi had, she would have cut ties with her long ago.
"Perhaps they don't want the Lu family to be implicated," she said, believing Zhou Yingzi recognized the man in the photo. It was precisely because Lu Yanbei was involved that the Lu family had intervened.
Having secretly admired Lu Yanbei for so many years, Zhou Yingzi naturally recognized the man in the photo at a glance.
"What is so great about Su He that he has to help her time and time again!" Zhou Yingzi stirred her coffee cup with a clatter.
Su He wasn't as well-endowed as her, nor as educated, and her appearance didn't even compare to hers. Why should such a woman, who lacked any outstanding qualities, gain Lu Yanbei's favor?
She had spent over a decade in the Lu family, striving to become outstanding, but he had never even glanced at her. How could Su He, an outsider, be so important to him!
Zhou Yingzi's heart seethed with envy.
"He was just passing by, there's no need for you to take it so seriously," her best friend advised. "Instead of complaining, why not think of a way to return to the Lu family villa!"
The news of Lu Yunting's family being expelled from the Lu family had spread. If they didn't find a way to salvage the situation, they would truly be squeezed out of high society.
Zhou Yingzi gritted her teeth fiercely. "It's all Uncle Lu's fault for bringing up the marriage registration. Couldn't they have handled it privately? He had to make it clear to Brother Yan! He might not have accepted it at first, but over time, perhaps he wouldn't have minded. He didn't say anything all these years we lived there..."
What she didn't know was that Lu Yanbei wasn't not minding; he simply couldn't be bothered.
As long as they behaved themselves and didn't come before him, he could turn a blind eye. However, some people liked to push their luck, their ambition growing day by day, so he couldn't be blamed for turning his back on them.
Zhou Yingzi was extremely annoyed thinking about this.
After moving out of the Lu family villa, they relocated to the house owned by Lu Yunting. The house had been occupied by Lu Yunting's sister for so many years, and she had claimed it as her own. When she heard they were moving in, she acted like the owner, making excuses and refusing to vacate.
Lu Yunting was soft-hearted and, after a few words from his sister, gave up his insistence.
Now, both families were crammed into that small three-bedroom apartment, feeling incredibly stifled.
She didn't even have a room of her own!
Her nominal aunt was a formidable woman, very overbearing. Not only did she occupy the house, but she also often made veiled remarks, calling her a burden, saying she had no right to live there, and even instigated her stepfather to ask her to move out.
Hmph! Did she have a legitimate right?
Zhou Yingzi was furious just thinking about it.
"Isn't your brother on good terms with Young Master Yan? Perhaps you could approach him," her best friend tentatively suggested.
Hearing this, Zhou Yingzi's eyes lit up.
Yes, why had she forgotten Lu Jingyang! He was the only one who could speak to Lu Yanbei. Moreover, Lu Yanbei had lent his brother five million to help him get divorced.
With this thought, Zhou Yingzi was filled with hope.

Lu Jingyang actually didn't really want to answer Zhou Yingzi's call.
After all, the last time, due to Song Yan's matter, they had argued and had an unpleasant falling out, and their relationship had reached a freezing point.
But no matter what, Zhou Yingzi was his half-sister, and this blood relation couldn't be severed.
After much hesitation, he still pressed the answer button.
"Jingyang, I need to talk to you. Can we meet?" As soon as the call connected, Zhou Yingzi spoke impatiently.
Lu Jingyang glanced at Song Yan beside him and moved to the balcony. "Is there something important? I can't get away right now."
What important matter could you have? It's nothing more than accompanying that little vixen Song Yan! Zhou Yingzi cursed silently.
However, she held back from saying it. "It's about Brother Yan."
"He's encountering some trouble recently." Zhou Yingzi used Lu Yanbei as an opening, and Lu Jingyang's attitude indeed changed significantly. "What happened to my brother?"
Zhou Yingzi then recounted Su He's story with embellishments. "She's definitely unwilling to be kicked out of the Lu family like this, so she's trying every way to seduce Brother Yan..."
Zhou Yingzi's instigation successfully ignited Lu Jingyang's anger. "How can she be so shameless!"
