Wen Tang turned her head to look at him.
She discreetly touched Pei Heyan's toe with the tip of her foot.
He, who was usually sparing with his words, spoke, "As an outsider, it is not my place to meddle in the affairs of the Lu Family."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhe spoke while gesturing, "How can you call yourself an outsider?" He especially directed his gaze towards Wen Tang.
"As long as you are willing to help, those fence-sitters in the circle will act. Forcing the old lady to step down is merely a matter of minutes."
As his words fell, the atmosphere at the scene fell silent.
Pei Heyan's fingers intertwined as Wen Tang abruptly said, "Uncle, please do not trouble President Pei any further."
Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Zhe caught a glimpse of him and changed his tone, "I do this for the old lady's sake, too. It's hard enough for her to retire and enjoy her golden years; having to go to the office and work clearly is just a way to drain her strength."
