Chapter 7 Things Had Changed In The Gu Family


    It was summertime in August, but the temperature in the big meeting room was as cold as winter. The


    stunned secretary stood aside, holding her breath, and stared at Joan with a strange look. The


    secretary thought Joan was a lunatic who dared to resist Mr. Lu.


    The truth was, Joan won the game.


    Darren turned around and ordered with a cold face, "Let Miss Su go back home and tell her I''m doing


    an important interview."


    Even after Joanpleted her interview perfectly, she still felt like she was in a dream. If she had


    known that it would work, she wouldn''t have said so much nonsense.

    All of a sudden, an important thing urred to Joan. "Mr. Lu, I think you have read the news on the


    newspaper. It has caused me a lot of trouble, and you should have the same thoughts. I hope you can


    solve this boring matter as soon as possible. I''m not interested in being themon enemy of women


    in S City. "


    "Mr. Lu, thank you." Joan said, intending to leave.


    The moment she opened the door, a big red figure rushed in.


    "Mr. Lu!"


    Hearing her voice, Darren furrowed his brows and asked, "Miss Su, why are you here?" Then, he cast


    a displeased nce at the secretary who just appeared.


    "Mr. Lu, Miss Su said that she must see you today. The security guards didn''t dare to stop her... Mr. Lu,


    I''m sorry. It''s my fault! Miss Su, I''m sorry. Mr. Lu is busy now. Please leave. "


    "Mr. Lu!" Regardless of the secretary, Zoey walked towards Darren in her high heels. When she passed


    by Joan, Joan held her breath. The perfume on Zoey''s body was very expensive, but it smelt too


    strong.


    Zoey was in a bright red strapless dress with white shoulders could be seen clearly. Her slender waist


    was outlined, and her white long legs were very attractive. Especially the surging waves in front of her


    chest, which was more eye-catching. Her curvy body and beautiful face must draw lots of attention on


    the road.


    "Darren, grandpa has urged me several times to invite you to have dinner at home. I know you are


    busy with your work, but I think you should


    eat at least. Grandpa is old, and there''s nothing he would hold but the hope of us getting married as


    soon as possible. " Zoey tried to get close to Darren, but thetter avoided her contact without being


    noticed. Her knitted brows had not been relieved from the beginning to the end.


    Zoey could not help but feel anxious. The Su family and the Lu family had been friends for generations,


    and the elders thought highly of them. She was more obsessed with Darren Lu and would not marry


    anyone else. However, Darren Lu seemed to reject her.


    Since her teenage years, Zoey''s pursuers had never stopped. Many of them were from wealthy and


    powerful families. However, when she met with Darren, her charm seemed to vanishpletely. If her


    family didn''t make a match for her, perhaps she wouldn''t even have the chance to let Darren take a


    look at her!


    It was undoubtedly a great defeat for her.


    Zoey wanted to be reserved, but she couldn''t wait any longer. There were too many women coveting


    Darren, so she had to y some tricks!


    But she didn''t expect that Darren didn''t touch the wine, and the paparazzi she hired had taken pictures


    of Darren and another woman to the headline! When she saw the newspaper, she was about to blow


    up.


    Joan didn''t care about the drama at all. She just wanted to sneak away as Darren was pestered. She


    didn''t expect that he stopped her as soon as she turned around.


    "Where are you going?"


    Hearing what Mr. Lu had said, she couldn''t pretend not to hear anything. She just gave a professional


    smile to Darren and said, "Thank you for your cooperation today, Mr. Lu. You are busy, and I won''t


    waste your precious time."


    It was not until then that Zoey noticed that Joan was still standing in the conference room. When she


    came in at first, all her attention had been paid to Darren, but after she observed Joan carefully, she


    could not help but scream, "Are you the woman in the headline? !"


    A trace of disgust shed through Joan''s eyes. Although it disappeared quickly, it was captured by


    Darren.


    "I''m sorry. I don''t know what you''re talking about. I''m here for an interview. Now that the task is over, I


    have to go." Half of her previous design draft was finished, so she wanted to finish the whole design as


    soon as possible when the inspiration was still there. As for other messy things, she didn''t want to


    waste her time.


    However, things didn''t go as she had nned.


    "You should have a clear estimation of yourself. Not all women are eligible to have a rtionship with


    Darren." With a look of disgust on her face, Zoey looked at the business suit that Joan was wearing.


    "Mr. Lu, I didn''t know that you like this type of girl. A woman with no breasts or butts or hips."


    Joan sneered, "You''re thinking too much. I don''t care about it at all. I''m not interested in doing anything


    that is in your league. Besides, I don''t think Mr. Lu will like you. "


    Hearing that, Zoey was so angry that her face turned red. In contrast, Joan turned around in an


    indifferent manner and walked away.


    "Miss Su." Although his tone was gentle, one could tell that he was unhappy.


    Zoey thought that her bad manner had left a bad impression on Darren. She clutched her fingers


    nervously and said, "Mr. Lu, I..."


    "Take your means back. Don''t think that I don''t know what you have done secretly. This time, I will not


    punish you for the sake of the Su family. If you dare to do it again, don''t me me for being ruthless."


    He had a gentle look, but every word he said showed his irresistible authority.


    Hearing that, Zoey''s face turned pale. She knew clearly that her plot to make rumors with Darren was


    exposed. However, she still tried to say something. "Mr. Lu, I don''t know what you are talking about..."


    Before she finished her words, she received a warning sign from Darren. She kept silent immediately.


    Then the secretary took her out of the office.


    Darren slowly walked to the window and casually narrowed his eyes, fixing his gaze on Joan who had


    just walked out of the Lu Company''s building. It seemed that he was thinking about something.


    After walking for a long distance, Joan heaved a long sigh of relief. She didn''t want toe to this


    damned ce again. She didn''t want to see the people inside the building.


    By the time Joan arrived the hospital, Linda''s father had been proved to be dead due to brain


    hemorrhage. Looking at the heart wrenching woman who had been lying on the bedside and crying so


    sadly, her heart sank as well. If she had been in front of her father''s bed when her father died, she


    would have been so desperate as well.


    Her father died, and there were only her stepmother and stepsister left in her family. They had no


    feelings for her at all, and her husband, Scott, had also hurt her. He not only cheated on her, but also


    put her into prison for another woman!


    Joan''s heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe. All these years she had lived were nothing


    more than a joke. It turned out that she was not as strong and open-minded as she had imagined.


    When she looked at the time, she realized that it was already ten o''clock in the evening. Since Linda


    was emotionally unstable, Joan was worried about her. So she stayed in the hospital to help take care


    of the funeral.


    The next day, Joan went back to the Gu family, tiredly. She didn''t want toe back at all, but she


    wanted to know where her father was buried. She had asked Linda about it, but to her disappointment,


    she didn''t know about it at all.


    She only went back to the Gu family once since she married Scott. But when she came back, things


    had changed. When she thought of the bankruptcy of the Gu family, she couldn''t even imagine what


    the Gu family would be like.
