Chapter 1185  : Goodbye, Second Brother (5)

Qiao Yiyi’s eyes lit up at once.

For a huge public listed company such as the Lu family’s, every move the chairman made was closely watched by the rest of the world.

The Lu family’s company shares were pricey and, in addition, Lu Nanze’s bachelorhood had been the focus of everyone’s attention since his situation would have a huge impact on the company. Hence, the well-doing of their shares had been controversial in recent years.

If Dad Lu announced the marriage, then there would be no two ways about the union.

Because if Lu Nanze backed out of the marriage, then the Lu family’s company shares would collapse.

Hence, Qiao Yiyi was most satisfied.

She quickly said, “Uncle Lu, I’m just outside the hospital. Once the announcement is out, I will come in and hand the account book to Second Brother.”

“Great, the press release is ready and we only need to announce. Since you’ve said this, my good niece, I will make this a grand affair for you.”

Five minutes later, the news came and it rocked the Suzhou industry:

[Lu family enterprise Chairman Mr. Lu Nanze and Ms. Qiao Yiyi officially engaged and will marry within two months.]

The moment this was released, Qiao Yiyi laughed immediately, feeling that her long-time dream had finally materialized.

It had been eight years.

Since Qiao Lian had left right up till now, it had been eight long years.

Every day, she had kept dreaming of marrying Lu Nanze.

And today it was finally happening!

She really was going to marry Lu Nanze.

Qiao Yiyi’s eyes sparkled with excitement, as though filled with the joy of gaining something. She felt as though she was walking on air.

Then she quickly entered Lu Nanze’s ward.

Lu Nanze was sitting up on the bed reading. When he heard her enter, he looked up. His pupils shrank upon seeing her. “You’ve brought the book?”

Qiao Yiyi nodded at once. Then, as though presenting a treasure, she held the account book out to Lu Nanze.

He lowered his head and flipped through the book.

Although he didn’t understand everything that was in it, seeing the object itself made him feel like everything was coming to an end.

As long as this account book was destroyed.

From then on, the Lu family would no longer be held hostage by the Qiao family.

Qiao Zhigang had already confessed and he would spend the rest of his days in jail.

As for the fool Qiao Yiyi, he had no regard for her.

At this thought, Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and said, “Bring me a brazier.”

Immediately, an assistant left the room and brought in a brazier.

Lu Nanze looked steadily at the brazier and then at the account book.

He knew that once the account book was burnt to ashes, his father would be safe forever, there would no longer be any hidden trouble.

But he also knew that this act would burn away whatever lasting mutual affections that Qiao Lian had for him.

With narrowed eyes, he looked at the object for the longest time and slowly, he raised the account book over the brazier.

–

Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan were dashing towards Lu Nanze’s ward with a few men.

On the way, there were people trying to obstruct, but they were all put down by Shen Liangchuan.

Very soon, they arrived at the ward.

There were two bodyguards standing outside and they held the group back, barring them from entering.

Shen Liangchuan immediately suppressed the two men and shouted at Qiao Lian, “Get yourself in there!”
