"Dad, how is it?"
After Zena's father went to Lu Mansion, Zena was not in the mood to do anything else. Moreover, she couldn't do anything even if she wanted to. Therefore, she had been waiting at home, hoping that her father would bring her good news.
As soon as she saw her father coming back, she went forward in a hurry, "Dad, what did they say?"
Zena's father sighed, and his expression was serious, "Where is your mother?"
"Mom went out to play cards." After that, Zena asked again, "Dad, how is it? What did uncle say?"
Zena's father shook his head and did not speak for a while.
Zena's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face faded, "What's wrong? Didn't you see uncle and auntie?"
"I saw them." After a while, Zena's father said, "However, the situation is not very optimistic."
"Does it mean that they didn't agree to your request?"
"Yeah." Zena's father walked to the sofa and sat down. Naturally, he looked a bit angry, "I didn't expect John and Lydia to be so stubborn." As soon as he thought of the situation at that time, he went berserk.
Although his child had made a mistake, no one had treated him indifferently over the years, and no one dared to act arrogantly in front of him. He pleaded with John that day, but John just said that he was old and didn't want to meddle in James's affairs. He said that James could decide it on his own.
How could he say that?
The person who had been bullied was his daughter, and the people in Lu family did not suffer any loss or harm. Naturally, they could speak like that reasonably.
However, no matter how angry he was, it was Zena's fault. Although he felt depressed, he could only endure his anger and come back in embarrassment.
The most unbearable thing for him was that Zena seldom asked him for help, but he...
Alas! How could he be happy?
Zena's heart sank completely after hearing her father's words.
Her family was powerful and respectable in A city, and her father was a man of high prestige. He was in his fifties, but he had to beg others because of her. Although she did not go there, she could imagine what it was like. She was very guilty and apologetic.
But there was nothing she could do. The only person she could ask for help was her father.
However, even her father couldn't help her?
"Dad..." Although Zena was sad in heart, she had no other choices. For her interests and career, as well as her own future, she had to ignore everything else, "Is there really no way to solve this problem for me?"
Zena's father pinched the place between his eyebrows and let out a long sigh, "So, why did you do such a wrong thing back then?"
"Dad, I know that I was wrong." Zena ran over and kneeled down in front of her father. She grabbed his hand, and shook it in a flattering and loving way, "Dad, I am your only daughter, please... help me, okay? I beg you."
"Alas!" After a while, her father stood up, "Then I... will go to find Jimmy."
"Mr. Lu..." Samuel knocked on the door and walked into James's office. He stood in front of the
desk, opened and shut his mouth, unspeaking. James was reading the investment project with concentration. Without looking up, he asked, "What's wrong? Hasn't he left yet?" "Yes." Samuel nodded, "I guess that he's here because of Zena."
In the reception room, Samuel had persuaded Zena's father kindly and said that James was busy. However, Zena's father did not listen to him. It had been more than an hour, but he had no intention of leaving. He said that he would keep waiting until James got off work, and he believed that James would come out eventually.
James raised his eyebrows, threw the document aside and looked up at Samuel, "Aren't you very clever in ordinary times? Don't you know what to do?"
He was really depressed. He had planned to leave, but he received this project before going out, so he had to stay to read it. After he stayed, Zena's father came here, which was really annoying.
"I've thought about it." Samuel said with a wry smile, "I wanted to say that you're not in the company, but isn't this excuse too childish? Since he came here, he must know that you're here. If he was someone else, it would be easy to solve. But he is of high status, so I can't let the security guard drive him out, can I?"
"Then why don't you just go out and say that I don't want to see him?" "Jimmy..."
