Chapter 258: Agreeing to Help

Mo Zhu did not understand what had happened and decided to stop thinking about it. She continued to lie on the sofa in the study room and play with the phone as if nothing had happened.

Five minutes later, Huo Xuan’s phone vibrated again. Mo Zhu stared at the caller ID and saw that it was another call from Old Master Huo. She sat up straight, cleared her throat, and answered the call.

The call had just been picked up. Before Old Master Huo could speak, Mo Zhu spoke first, “Grandfather, Huo Xuan has a temporary video conference and can’t pick up the phone. Why don’t I ask him to call you back after he’s done?”

Old Master Huo was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the line. He sighed slightly and said in a low voice, “Girl, since Xuan’er doesn’t have the time to deal with this old man, I’ll sell my face and discuss this matter with you personally.”

When Mo Zhu heard that Old Master Huo wanted to discuss it with her, she immediately replied seriously, “Sure, if you have any instructions, just say it.”

When Old Master Huo heard this, he sensed the frankness in Mo Zhu’s words. He smiled embarrassedly and said, “Xiao Zhu, I know that you’re a good child. You might be in a difficult position if I say this, but the head of the Lu family is my good friend for many years. There aren’t many of my good friends left in this world. I want you to save him.”

Mo Zhu did not hesitate when she heard this and agreed immediately, “Sure.”

“Really? Girl, are you really willing to treat the head of the Lu family? Then I’ll give that kid, Lu Zheng, a call to share this good news!” Old Master Huo’s tone was very excited, and he couldn’t help but confirm it again.

Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows and replied calmly, “As long as grandfather gets Lu Zheng to prepare the things I want, I have time to go to the Lu family to treat their leader’s illness anytime.”

Old Master Huo pinched the space between his eyebrows with a headache. He knew that he had been happy too early. Mo Zhu was just like Huo Xuan, she was a child with her own thoughts and principles. It was probably very difficult to compromise on something that had already been agreed on.

The reason why that kid, Lu Zheng, had begged him to personally plead his grandson was because he did not want to give up the many years of Lu family’s hard work to Mo Zhu. He did not expect that even though he was the one who had brought this matter up, he would still be unable to avoid the issue regarding the assets.

Old Master Huo sighed deeply and said in a low voice, “Xiao Zhu, I know that Lu Zheng, that kid, fought with you for the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb on the day of the auction and made you unhappy. However, the Lu family can be considered a big family with a hundred years of foundation in the capital. Can you give me some face and ask for less of the Lu family’s assets?”

After saying this, Old Master Huo was afraid that Mo Zhu would reject him. He paused for a moment and quickly added, “That kid had acted that way as he was eager to save Old Master Lu. If you agree to this matter this time, I’ll get someone to make him apologize to you personally!”

Mo Zhu did not speak. The only sound that came from the receiver was the girl’s faint breathing.

Thinking that this girl might be considering whether this matter could be done, Old Master Huo did not rush her. He quietly waited for her reply on the phone.

After a while, Mo Zhu nodded slightly and said, “Since grandfather has said so, I can’t embarrass you anymore. How about this? I want half of the Lu family’s assets. As long as Lu Zheng has prepared what I want, I’m willing to go and take a look at the Lu family’s old master.”

When Old Master Huo heard this, he instantly felt relieved and heaved a long sigh of relief. As long as he could settle this matter, he would do his part.

However, when he thought of the last request that Lu Zheng had made when he called him to beg him, Old Master Huo frowned and asked awkwardly, “Girl, can you also…”

He had originally thought that even if Mo Zhu did not agree, she would at least finish listening to him. Unexpectedly, before he could finish, the girl interrupted him bluntly, “Grandfather, agreeing to treat the Lu family’s old master is already on your account. No one in the world can make me make exceptions time and time again.”

Mo Zhu’s tone was a little harsh. When she said this, Old Master Huo’s face turned red.

He had been in the business world for so many years, but he had never begged anyone so humbly like today. This time, he had no choice but to ask for help, and furthermore, the person he had to beg was his granddaughter-in-law.

However, he had no choice. He wanted to save his friend, so he had to beg her.

In fact, Old Master Huo knew Mo Zhu’s character well. It was not easy for her to make such a compromise, not to mention that he had wanted to ask for more just now..
