Chapter 430: Chapter 430 She is My Wife (1) Chapter 430: Chapter 430 She is My Wife (1) Jin’an.

Lu Wanwan saw her father personally pour a glass of water and hand it to her.

She took it and felt somewhat ironic, recalling how, as a child, her father had always envied families with sons, but he was still pretty decent to his own daughter.

After her mother died, to say nothing of a glass of water, he probably wouldn’t even care if she starved to death outside.

“Dad discussed it with the company, and it’s okay for you to join,” Lu Jingtian said with a smile, “However, you’ve kept a low profile for too long. Suddenly appearing in the spotlight will still require some time. Wanwan, I suppose you wouldn’t want others to think you got in simply through your background and family connections, right?”

“I’ve kept a low profile?” Lu Wanwan looked at him, “Dad, when I was younger, I don’t know how many times I came here, and apart from the mid-level employees who didn’t recognize me, the reception and security knew who I was. The higher-ups, shareholders, and management all knew me. Why is it that, after a few years, I find that no one recognizes me anymore?”

“It’s not strange for there to be some changes in the company,” Lu Jingtian replied with a stiff smile.

Was this aggressive questioning because she really knew about Ye Jing’s death and his involvement?

Lin Yu’s words echoed in his mind.

Replacing company personnel was certainly his doing.

With Ye Jing as a point of comparison, those under her were not very supportive of him.

Superficially, they called him Director Lu, but in reality, despite his high position, he was just a figurehead.

Those people would never acknowledge his status in Jin’an.

Nor would they willingly accept that it was now him sitting in Jin’an’s highest seat.

Of course, he wanted to bring in people he could control.

And not those who relied on a bit of talent or social influence and were suited to be his shackles.

He had to admit, of course, that Jin’an’s decline was largely due to the loss of a core group of people.

“Dad, did you ever love Mom?” Lu Wanwan, watching his smile that didn’t reach his eyes, felt increasingly cold.

Sometimes she really didn’t understand; she was his biological daughter, after all. Even if he had remarried, bringing a daughter from an affair, even if everyone knew she disapproved of this second marriage, what was unchangeable was that she was his daughter.

Why was there such a big difference.

Was it because he didn’t love her mother, and therefore, by extension, he didn’t want to see her either?

“What are you saying?!” Lu Jingtian suddenly frowned and stared at her.

His heart skipped a beat.

First she asked about the old company staff, and then about Ye Jing.

Was her next question going to be…

“Dad, did you see Mom before she died?” Lu Wanwan looked at him.

Her disappointment and self-mockery grew stronger.

After more than a decade of marriage, even if there was no love, there should have been some affection; after all, her mother had never done anything to wrong him.

If he knew that her mother died at the hands of the woman he married claiming to owe her for his whole life, would he still be able to love her without any qualms?

Lu Jingtian’s gaze suddenly became intense and cold, as if he were looking at a stranger.

“Dad? What’s wrong?”

“You go back first, Dad today… doesn’t really want to talk about this,” Lu Jingtian said as he looked at her subsequent confusion, still uncertain of his own suspicions.

But whether she knew or not, he had no mood to spar with her over this matter now.

With a hint of a cold smile inside, Lu Wanwan said, “One week, Dad. I’m just taking what’s rightfully mine. A week shouldn’t be too short, right?”

After she finished speaking, she put down the glass of water she hadn’t even sipped and walked out.

Leaving the office and preparing to descend the half floor of stairs, she saw Lin Yu walking up, looking triumphant.
