Chapter 512: I Will Protect You Let's See Who Dares to Object

Others might not notice, but Elder Lu prided himself on having a temper, yet he remained composed in both major and minor matters.

After all, having lived to his age, he had seen plenty.

Just how much the Nan family treasured Nan Jiaojiao, he knew very well.

In the past, he had eagerly pursued Nan Jiaojiao for apprenticeship, honestly, no success, so he resorted to underhanded methods and tried to steal her away, only to be found out by that old man and thrown right out of Green City.

“Have you talked to your grandfather about this?” Elder Lu asked, not ready to give up.

Nan Jiaojiao nodded.

Bo Yanching’s smile deepened at the corner of his lips and his eyebrows lifted ever so slightly, looking as though he was basking in the spring breeze.

Elder Lu felt agitated, experiencing the foul mood of watching the little cabbage he had long set his eyes on being uprooted by a pig.

His face darkened in an instant, “With this connection, you still let her be wronged?”

Bo Yanching’s mouth stiffened, his dark eyes locking onto Nan Jiaojiao.

Just as he was about to speak, she took the initiative to beg for mercy, “I knew about it in the afternoon, but I wasn’t sure at the time, so I didn’t tell you.”

“What else is there to say?

I’m asking you, how did your work end up in the hands of this little celebrity?”

Nan Jiaojiao felt a bit of a headache, “I threw it away.”

Elder Lu’s eye began to twitch.

He laughed three times in a row, “Very good, the thing you discarded and didn’t want was picked up by someone else and paraded as a treasure, and here I am, running over to back you up.”

Nan Jiaojiao buried her head even lower.

Without speaking, her attitude didn’t look apologetic at all.

Elder Lu knew she was best at playing the fool before seizing the tiger, and despite appearing obedient now, if she truly decided to make a move, that person named Chen Man wouldn’t have a chance at the spotlight.

Holding back until now, she was probably gearing up for a big show.

He simply sat down to watch the drama unfold.

His assistant twisted open the thermos cap and handed it to him with both hands.

Elder Lu blew away a few tea leaves on the surface and took a couple of sips.

Looking up at her, “What are you looking at me for?

Do whatever you want to do; you might not be from the Architectural Association, but I’ll stand by you.

Who dares to have an opinion?”

Architectural Association?

Yaen Chi and Huo Linxi exchanged glances, while on the other side, Chu Yao and Lu Zhenzhen had already figured out Elder Lu’s identity.

Originally intending to step in, they restrained themselves now that a more suitable person was present.

As for the other celebrities and the merchants, people gradually recognized Elder Lu or became aware of his status, and with word spreading, the looks returning to him carried respect and aspiration.

Crash the scene?

Who?

Oh, the president of the Architectural Association?

Then it’s all good.

Chen Man saw the situation seemed to be getting worse by the moment; after the old man embarrassed her, he just left her high and dry on the stage and went to chat with others.

She wanted to leave, but doing so would only make her look guiltier.

Her agent ran up and whispered in her ear: “President Shen is on his way here, tell you not to panic or speak rashly.”

Chen Man took a deep breath and said, “Elder sir, I can overlook the defamation you just directed at me, but the work is mine, indeed I am Shen’s chief designer, and on this point, President Shen can vouch for me.

Your words not only damage me, but also can cause great loss to President Shen, so please watch what you say.”

Elder Lu didn’t even raise his head, snorting out a laugh.

Nan Jiaojiao watched with cold eyes, “You say you’re a designer for Shen’s, and you’re the main designer for Shen’s new mall, is that right?”

Chen Man pursed her lips firmly, “Yes, what about it?”

“What’s the theme of the design, do you understand composition lines?”

“Of course I do, what’s it to you asking me this, as if you layman would understand?” Chen Man looked down scornfully at Nan Jiaojiao with a frown.

With an expressionless face, Nan Jiaojiao spoke calmly, “Tell me, how did my design become yours?”
