Chapter 172 Then I have to work hard now in order to leave behind a bigger inheritance for you to squander in the future (1)

Of course, Lu Beichuan could understand this principle.

Not only was he the Lus successor, he was also Lin Meis son, Ye Zhens husband, and their sons father. They needed him, so there was no room for him to back down.

The atmosphere in the study immediately tensed up. The pressure made it difficult to breath.

Old Master Lu loosened and tightened his grip on his cane. One could tell how furious he was from his sinking expression and the protruding veins on the back of his hands.

In contrast, Lin Zhan seemed like a bystander. He sat there expressionlessly, not showing how he felt about Old Master Lu mentioning that he could recognize his ancestors.

Lu Shaoyan had changed from his idle persona that he had shown earlier in the day. Acting more befitting to his status as an elder, he admonished Lu Beichuan and told him to not disobey Old Master Lu.

Mrs. Lu looked worried. She truly didnt want there to be any conflict between Lu Beichuan and Old Master Lu. Just as she was about to stand up and say a few words to persuade them, Ye Zhen grasped her hands and quietly shook her head towards her.

Ye Zhen was Lu Beichuans wife. She naturally stood on Lu Beichuans side and agreed with his position. He wasnt wrong. He couldnt agree to something like this. At the front, there was Lu Shaoyan. At the back, there was Lin Zhan. It didnt matter what role Lin Zhan played in the novel, in the context of the Lus, he was Lu Beichuans enemy. In addition, Lu Shaoyan had been the one to bring about this incident. There was no way that his intentions could be good. If they allowed a wolf into their home, life would become impossibly difficult.

Mrs. Lu didnt understand why Ye Zhen had stopped her. She questiongly looked at her, but Ye Zhen only gave her a be patient look.

Old Master Lu said in a sunken voice, Everyone out except Beichuan!

This matter had to be privately discussed.

Ye Zhen supported Mrs. Lu by the arm as they got up and left. Lu Shaoyan and Lin Zhan followed them in leaving the study.

The door to the study closed, only Lu Beichuan and Old Master Lu were left.

Lu Beichuan understood Old Master Lus character. This was the grandfather who had watched him grow up and imparted his values. Old Master Lu also understood his grandsons disposition. Under the previous situation, there was no way that either side would back down first.

Now that there were only the two of them left in the room, Old Master Lus words softened. You wont agree. Why?

Ive already said my reason, grandpa.

Thats only one of the reasons! You were raised by grandpa. Do you think grandpa cant tell what youre thinking?

Lu Beichuan said in no uncertain terms, Since you already know, why are you asking me?

Youre making grandpa very angry. Are you not worried that Ill go look for a lawyer to change my will and leave my shares of Lu Corporation to someone else?

Grandpa, how you want to use and distribute your assets is your business. Its up to you. I dont have the right to interfere. Even if you dont leave me a single penny, thats perfectly fine. So why should I be worried? He said these words lightly as if he truly didnt care about the assets mentioned by Old Master Lu.

Lu Beichuan didnt need to inherit Old Master Lus assets to be successful.

In his opinion, connections and ability were the most important factors in determining victory or failure.

If there was enough money and assets to support his ambitions, that would be the icing on the cake. But if there wasnt, it wouldnt be a disaster for him.

There was nothing that couldnt be lost. The only things that belonged to yourself for a lifetime and couldnt betray you were your natural talents and ambitions.

The easiest thing to lose was money and worldly possessions, but the easiest thing to gain was also money and worldly possessions.

Grandpa, if its necessary, I can help you find a lawyer to deal with issues over your will. Its also your right to recognize any grandchild that you want. You didnt have to ask me about that at all. But since you asked, I expressed my position on it. In this matter, you wont hear the answer you want from me, Lu Beichuan answered decisively. His attitude was firm and unchangeable.

Originally, if his grandfather had wanted to recognize another grandson, he didnt need to ask his opinion at all. But since he asked, he should have been able to guess the outcome that he would get.
