Chapter 53: Chapter 53 made him dare not look directly at her

Author: Purple Peony Machine Translation

The boy with the bouquet of flowers got up and dusted himself, bent on carrying out his orders. He walked toward He Lanjin, but the beggar by the roadside caught his eye. The sign on the beggar's neck was so conspicuous the young man got confused.

"This..." The delivery guy hesitated. Young Master Lu's secretary gave him strict orders about giving the flowers and chocolates to Miss He. He did not travel many miles just to deliver the flowers to the wrong person.

The young man did not dare look directly at He Lanjin, who looked coldly at him while standing silently on the side. He felt certain that this beggar was He Lanjin's bodyguard. Rich people were weird, after all.

The boy approached the beggar and said, "These are all for you. They are from young Master Lu." He then took a photo of the beggar holding the bouquet and chocolates as proof that He Lanjin did receive the gift.

For a moment, He Lajin could not comprehend what was happening.

Did this young man somehow lose his mind?

"Young Master Lu loves you," the young man said before he bowed to the beggar and left.

He Lanjin's exquisite little face was a picture of shock. However, she quickly recovered and came up with an idea after hearing what the boy said.

"Do you know who young Master Lu is?" He Lanjin asked the beggar. "He's the young master of the Lu Corporation." He Lanjin made sure that the beggar understood what she was saying.

Before she left, He Lanjin deliberately said, "You should be grateful for these things."

Holding the flowers and chocolates, the beggar seemed to understand. He stood up with the flowers and chocolate in his arms and accidentally fell down.

He felt that the good days were coming, so he smiled in spite of falling to the ground. He knelt down and bowed to the sky a few times before rushing to the Lu corporation office.

He Lanjin watched the beggar leave, taking a photo as he walked away.

LU CORPORATION, CONFERENCE ROOM.

Lu Zifan pulled his tie loose in frustration as he threw the documents on the table. He got up impatiently and walked to the window, barking orders to his secretary. "I do not care how you do it, but you need to bring all these people here. Go."

Secretary Yang hesitated, but he had to let his master know the truth. "Young Master Lu, they chose to withdraw their capital and hide. Some investors said that they were traveling abroad; we really couldn't find them."

Hearing this annoyed Lu Zifan even more.

"What about the land that we are supposed to get? Keep an eye on it and get it approved as soon as possible," Lu Zifan said. He was afraid that the longer the night, the more trouble their corporation would have. He could not afford to give any more gifts if none of their potential investors would back them up.

The Lu family had always been Jiang City's most formidable and powerful family.

But that was in the past. Now that the Glory World Group had risen, the Lu family was having a hard time keeping its footing especially in the light of the recent scandal.

"Yes, Master." Secretary Yang dared not say anything else, seeing that Lu Zifan was seething in anger.

Lu Zifan took off his tie and remembered the gift for He Lanjin; she must have received it by now. As if on cue, Lu Zifan's phone vibrated. He was sent a photo of a beggar wearing a sign with the words "I am He Lanjin" written on it. The beggar was hugging the flowers and chocolates that Lu Zifan had sent.

Before he received the message, Lu Zifan was originally so angry that he was almost constipated. When he saw this picture, he almost vomited blood. He threw the phone to the secretary and asked, "What's going on?"

Secretary Yang was dumbfounded to see the photo.

Before Secretary Yang could offer any explanation, the office assistant pushed the door open and rushed in. She said with a strange expression, "Young Master Lu, please come downstairs. Something has happened and we are at a loss about what to do."

"Don't disturb the young master." Secretary Yang reprimanded the assistant. "This is not the right time, no matter how big that happening is." He tried to shield his master from even more problems.

Just as the office assistant was going back to her desk, Lu Zifan stopped her and asked, "Wait, what happened?"

Things had not been going well in the past few days; Lu Zifan felt his heart growing heavier.

"There's a beggar downstairs..." the assistant said in a scared voice. Lu Zifan took a deep breath and walked out of his office, accidentally bumping the assistant on the shoulder.
