Chapter 171 If Lu Beichuan gave in now, he would have to continue giving in in the future (3)

Old Master Lu spoke confidently with a tone of finality.

Ye Zhen looked at Mother Lu and saw that she had only straightened her back, but remained silent.

Mother Lu was always aware of her limitations. She didnt have the right to voice her thoughts in the Lu family. Just like how when Lu Beichuan had been unconscious and Lu Shaoren had brought home an illegitimate offspring, gave this illegitimate son a position in the Lu Corporation, and took away Lu Beichuans power, she could only watch.

If her maiden family hadnt fallen in status, she would be able to help Lu Beichuan a bit. But now, it was already fortunate if she didnt become a burden to Lu Beichuan.

Beichuan, what do you think?

Lu Beichuans emotions werent in disarray. He merely calmly asked Old Master Lu, Grandpa, are you going to have Lin Zhan recognize his ancestors?

Although all of the blame could be laid at Lu Shaorens feet, Lin Zhans identity was very awkward. He wouldnt be able to escape the reputation of being an illegitimate child.

Lin Zhan was very prideful. If he could tolerate the reputation of being an illegitimate child, he could have returned to the Lus and be accepted as a descendent earlier. However, in the novel, Lin Zhan had a deep hatred of the Lus. Lin Zhans mother had bore a grudge against Lu Shaoren to her dying days, which caused Lin Zhan to harbor resentment against the Lus. Dont even mention recognizing his ancestors. He didnt even want to admit that Lu Shaoren was his father! But Lin Zhan had changed from his novel self.

Ye Zhen deeply looked at Lin Zhan. She could no longer predict what choice Lin Zhan would make.

Old Master Lu took a deep breath. Beichuan, I cant be cold-hearted to the deceased Old Master Lin. I owe him for his kindness to me.

There was once something between Lin Zhan and Ye Zhen, and he was also her husbands illegitimate child. Mother Lu wouldnt feel good living under the same roof as him. It was obvious there would be conflicts between them. If Lin Zhan really moved in, what would her days be like?

Sorry grandpa, I cant accept that. Lu Beichuan was extremely calm, and he didnt mince words. I dont have a problem with you wanting to repay Old Master Lins kindness. If Lin Zhans father was someone else, then I would be happy to have him move into the villa. I could even become brothers with him. But his father is Lu Shaoren. If you let him move in, what kind of position are you putting my mother in?

Beichuan, Old Master Lu said in a deep voice, Lin Zhan is innocent.

Lu Beichuans stance was tough as always. You say hes innocent. Is my mother not innocent? You want her to face her husbands illegitimate child every day. How do you want her to deal with that? What is she suppose to think?

Mrs. Lus expression was stained with anxiety. She slightly shook her head at him. Beichuan!

Lu Beichuan turned a deaf ear, and his tone and expression remained firm. Grandpa, I definitely wont agree to this.

His words showed that he wasnt backing down or giving any leeway to negotiate.

On the side, Lu Shaoyan said, Beichuan, dont defy your grandfather! It was rare to see him looking serious.

However, Lu Beichuan didnt pay attention to Lu Shaoyans words.

Old Master Lu tightly gripped his cane. Grandpa wants to recognize his grandson. You really wont agree to that?

Old Master Lus words showed that he had also made up his mind.

Lu Beichuan and Old Master Lu were standing off. One party was a white-haired experienced old-timer and the other party was young and full of vigor with an imposing aura that couldnt be contained. Under the circumstances, no one dared to speak.

There was sweat between Ye Zhens squeezed hands. This looked like it was a dispute about whether or not Lin Zhan could recognize his ancestors, but in reality, it was a confrontation between the previous patriarch of the family and the current one.

If Lu Beichuan gave in now, he would have to continue giving in in the future.
