Chapter 540: Chapter 258 The truth has been revealed_1
He waved his hand.
As the current Luo Family Patriarch, Luo Ping,
signaled to the Shadow Guard beside him that he could leave.
He then turned his head, silently fixing his gaze on the one seated next to him.
Bowing slightly, holding a piece of political business in his hand.
His eyebrows slightly furrowed.
It seemed that Luo Yao was pondering how to deal with the political business in his hands.
“You can’t tell…”
“Really, you can’t tell…”
“You can’t tell at all…”
Luo Ping silently thought to himself.
The one seated beside Luo Ping, being groomed as the next Luo Family Patriarch, Luo Yao,
now had beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
His emotions had shifted from the initial calm to the current state of panic.
Why?
What is this for?
Why is the Family Head staring at me?
Stop looking at me, stop looking at me…
Luo Yao shouted loudly in his heart.
However, he could not control the actions of Luo Ping, the current Luo Family Patriarch beside him.
“You…”
Luo Ping looked at Luo Yao beside him for a long time.
He suddenly opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
“Family Head, is there anything you wish to instruct?”
Luo Yao, suppressing the panic in his heart, stood up.
His face showed full respect.
Everything seemed so perfect.
If not for the Shadow Guard’s sudden appearance,
telling him about that expression,
and moreover, saying,
it was Patriarch Changfeng who told him that.
If it were not so, he really would not want to believe that the very “understanding” Luo Yao in front of him would spend most of his time slacking off.
…
Another long silence followed.
Luo Ping silently stood up.
He walked towards where Luo Yao was.
He did not choose to expose Luo Yao’s pretense right away.
But just silently stood in front of Luo Yao.
Squinting slightly, he looked at the bowing, respectfully-faced Luo Yao.
After thinking for a moment, he asked in a low voice,
“How have you felt lately?”
“Are you feeling any pressure?”
“Is the amount of political business perhaps a bit too much?”
“Do you want to reduce the number of political tasks that need to be dealt with daily?”
In the room.
Luo Yao was somewhat stunned.
He seemed a bit surprised that the Family Head in front of him would say such things.
Pressure?
What pressure can there be in dealing with political business here?
No pressure at all.
Even, Luo Yao felt exceptionally relaxed.
It’s just that the only drawback is,
staying in this room all day, sitting beside Luo Ping, the current Luo Family Patriarch.
He felt incredibly bored.
Even when he wanted to slack off,
he needed to carefully observe whether Luo Ping was paying attention to him.
However, while that is what he thought,
the answer Luo Yao gave certainly could not be what he was really thinking.
“There is indeed some pressure,”
“The political tasks that need to be dealt with daily are indeed numerous,”
“But if these things are for the sake of the clan, then no matter how tired I am or how much time and energy I sacrifice,”
“So what?”
“For the prosperity of the clan, I am willing.”
Luo Yao bowed his head slightly.
As he spoke, his face gradually turned a bit red.
Even his breathing became slightly disordered.
The scene looked so real.
Although, all these behaviors.
Were just a pretense by Luo Yao.
But as long as Luo Yao himself didn’t reveal it, who could know, who could see through,
that all he did wasn’t just a false facade?
…
In the Luo Family Patriarch’s room.
As the current Luo Family Patriarch, Luo Ping,
He, at this moment, silently watched Luo Yao whose face seemed a bit red
and whose breath was becoming slightly rapid.
After a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice.
“Are these words you spoke the truth?”
Luo Yao nodded repeatedly, answering sincerely and earnestly, “Of course, they are true.”
Luo Ping looked at Luo Yao, then asked further, “Is there really not a bit of falsehood?”
This time, Luo Yao hesitated.
Falsehood?
What does the Family Head mean by this?
Has he seen through the facade I put up?
It shouldn’t be, it shouldn’t be…
If we go by the Family Head’s intelligence,
my pretense should be flawless.
“Family Head, it’s certainly true,”
“For the clan, I am willing to sacrifice everything.”
Not much silence ensued.
Luo Yao quickly gave his response.
“Is that so?”
Luo Ping nodded silently, then extended his hand as if he wanted to pick up the topmost piece of unprocessed political business from the stack on Luo Yao’s desk.
“Family Head…”
Seeing this, Luo Yao’s eyes widened suddenly.
He raised his head, looking at Luo Ping in front of him and called out softly.
“Oh? What’s the matter?”
Luo Ping paused his hand movement.
He turned his gaze back to Luo Yao in front of him,
as if he wanted to see
what else Luo Yao could say.
“There is something I think… I need to have a serious talk with you about.”
Luo Ping looked at the earnest-faced Luo Yao,
then sat back in his own seat.
Afterwards, he asked in a low voice, “What is it that you wish to discuss?”
After Luo Yao took a deep breath,
his mind began racing madly.
As for the so-called matter he had,
