Lu Chenyuan pointed it out bluntly, and Xu Qingli defended herself, saying, "How was I supposed to know? The invitation to Wang Pei and Li Fen wasn't my idea. Isn't Peide taking over Tiexi's land? We're still planning to collaborate on building a commercial center south of Tiexi, and I'm a shareholder."
Lu Chenyuan knew that although Xu Qingli hadn't been very involved in business matters over the years, leaving most of the industries to professional managers, she had never stopped investing.
Previously, there was a promise to transfer the industry to Ou, but it never happened. The planning was intense, yet nothing was mentioned afterwards.
Lu Chenyuan understood his mother's style over the years: she'd slap you and then give you a sweet date, just as you took a few bites, another slap would land.
