After the rebirth of the princess, she became popular in the entertainment circle

The study door was locked.

The doors of the Lu family were all made of solid wood, thick and heavy. No matter how hard Lu Mingzheng kicked, the carved wooden door would not budge.

"Where's the key!" His eyes were red: "Lu Taowan! Where's the key!"

"I...I don't know..." Lu Taowan rummaged around in the living room: "All the keys in the house were inserted in the door, how could they be missing..."

"Step aside!"

Gu Zhaohua pulled Lu Mingzheng away, took out a hairpin from his head, straightened it and inserted it into the keyhole.

She bent down, gently twisting the lock cylinder with a hairpin, and listened attentively.

There was a soft "click" sound, and the door lock was opened.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

When I was a child in the military camp, there was a thief who was exiled to the army. Seeing that she was young and a girl, I taught her some lock-picking skills out of boredom.

At the time, she just thought it was interesting, but after entering the palace, this skill once saved her life.

The door was opened, and Lu Mingzheng hurriedly rushed in.

Mr. Lu fell out of his wheelchair and was slumped limply by the door. He covered his chest with both hands, his expression was painful, a loud sound came from his throat, and he was breathing hard.

He was locked in the study alone, missed the time to take medicine, and suffered from high blood pressure alone.

If Lu Mingzheng hadn't come back early, there's no telling how long he, an old man, would have endured alone.

Lu Mingzheng put the person down and shouted anxiously: "Medicine! Lu Taowan! Grandpa's medicine!"

Lu Taowan poured out all the contents of the small medicine box, rummaged through it, and shouted in a crying voice: "There is no...the medicine that was clearly placed in the medicine box is gone!"

Someone entered the Lu family, locked the old man in the study, and took away the medicine in the medicine box!

The uncle and nephew of the Lu family had long been confused and panicked. Finally, under Gu Zhaohua's prompting, they found half a bottle of medicine from the pocket of the coat he usually wore in Mr. Lu's room.

After taking the medicine, Lu Mingzheng carried the old man back to the room to rest, leaving Lu Taowan to watch over the bed, and walked downstairs with a sullen face.

Seeing him coming down, Gu Zhaohua asked softly: "Is everything okay?"

"never mind."

He just called Aunt Zhang, the family helper. He didn't tell her what happened, but just asked her where she was.

"Didn't Taotao's school call home?" Aunt Zhang said in a normal tone: "Her teacher said there was a women's football match after school, but Taotao didn't bring any sportswear on the team. The old man hurriedly asked me to deliver things!"

Lu Taowan pretended to be sick and skipped school at noon. How could the teacher call her parents and ask her parents to go to school to deliver something?

Send away the servants at home - lock the old man in the study alone - take away the key - take away the medicine at home...

If Lu Taowan hadn't decided to skip school at the last minute and go to the theater to find Lu Mingzheng to go home with him. With this plan, Mr. Lu would have been dead by the time Aunt Zhang came back from school!

When he thought of this, Lu Mingzheng's eyes turned red and he almost wanted to breathe fire!

Who is so crazy! Even an old man over 70 years old is not spared!

He sat slumped on the sofa, rubbing his eyebrows.

After a while, he whispered.

"Gu Zhaohua, I think I can't do it..."

What?

Gu Zhaohua lowered his head and looked at him.

"You should know that I had a brother, Taotao's father. He passed away due to an accident."

"Um."

Gu Zhaohua sat next to him and nodded.

"His name is Lu Yueshu. He is eight years older than me. He has been raised as the heir of the Lu family since he was born." Lu Mingzheng supported his forehead with one hand and said softly: "And I, it sounds like I am a composer, but in fact I am just a composer.

He is an idle young master."

After hearing this, Gu Zhaohua almost understood.

She had seen this kind of situation many times in ancient times!

The heir of a big family must be cultivated from the age of 3. Studying, socializing, marriage, career direction... Every step is carefully arranged by the whole family, in order to create a person who can support the family.

The perfect householder.

But once something unexpected happens to the only heir, and no one with enough ability can take over, the only thing waiting for this family is to be cannibalized by other relatives and even outsiders.

Lu's father and Lu Yueshu, who were both in their prime, were gone, leaving only an old man in the Lu family and Lu Mingzheng, who didn't know how to manage.

This kind of family is simply a piece of cake in the eyes of other aristocratic families!

Thinking of this, Gu Zhaohua looked at Lu Mingzheng with a slightly subtle look.

She really didn't think that this guy had the ambition and talent to manage the entire Lu family.

Lu Mingzheng had been dejected and continued talking without seeing her expression.

"It is precisely because of this that I desperately want to hold a national ceremony. This is not only a cultural ceremony, but also my first answer to the outside world as the head of the Lu family."

He closed his eyes and spoke in a low tone: "The whole circle is staring at me and the Lu family. The success or failure of this grand ceremony is directly related to everyone's opinion of the Lu family."

But I didn't expect that less than a month after he left, something like this would happen at home.

"I can't do it..." Lu Mingzheng held his head in pain: "I can neither manage the Lu family well, nor can I protect grandpa..."

There was a sense of dejection in his whole person, and coupled with his already pale face, he looked like a soulless body.

Gu Zhaohua sat aside and watched with cold eyes as he was alone and decadent.

The large living room was quiet, and only the sound of Lu Mingzheng's occasional sniffing could be heard. He emoticoned for a long time, but did not wait for Gu Zhaohua to say a word of comfort.

Lu Mingzheng slowly raised his head and looked at her with red eyes.

Are you actually crying over such a trivial matter? Gu Zhaohua sneered.

"You're really of no use."

Lu Mingzheng is no longer a child. Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, his brother Lu Yueshu had already married a wife and had children at his age, and began to manage the Lu family's property.

"You don't understand finance, and you were defrauded of more than one million yuan by Jiang Yue; you don't understand management, and every program at the National Style Ceremony has been well rehearsed, but you can't control the whole scene.

.If your grandpa hadn’t brought you a lot of foreign aid, you would have ruined this ceremony long ago, and it wouldn’t have reached the day it was officially broadcast.”

Not only did she not comfort him, she even hurt him with her words!

Lu Mingzheng expressed that she was hurt, opened her mouth, and subconsciously wanted to refute.

Gu Zhaohua didn't give him this chance at all and continued to expose him ruthlessly.

"Forget it, Lu Mingzheng, you can't even handle women's problems well." She took the small medicine box that Lu Taowan had just messed up, pulled out a long hair from it, and held it up to Lu Mingzheng.

In front of the eyes: "Your grandfather has said many times that you should stay less with that Miss Jiang Yi, but you have always been obedient and half-obedient. Now, the retribution has all fallen on your grandfather.
