Chapter 41 Examine Ye Qing again (2)

Alright, what was it that you want to say to me?

Lu Shaoren said, I found the child that you asked me to look for, and he agreed to come back to the Lu family.

Sitting on the office desk behind the desk, Old Master Lu looked up in a neither cold nor indifferent gaze. That illegitimate child of yours? Hes called

Li Zhan.

Right, that Lin Zhan?

Exactly, its him.

Old Master Lu sneered. Lu Beichuan is already awake now. Theres no need for anyone else. The Lu family isnt a department store. Dont just bring anyone to the Lu family.

Lu Shaoren grinded his back teeth, but in front of Old Master Lu, he had to maintain a submissive demeanor. But, you were the one that wanted me to investigate him. After a pause, Lu Shaoren sighed and continued, I know this matter is my fault to begin with, but in the past, I genuinely wanted to compensate him and his mother. But, that child has an obstaintant personality and wouldnt accept me as his father no matter what. He suffered a lot. His mom recently died. It was one thing when I didnt know, but now that I know, how could I just look on without lifting a finger? Hes my son!

Your son? Old Master Lu rested his hands on his can and scoffed, You only have one son, and its Lu Beichuan!

Old Master Lu valued propriety greatly. He never recognized the illegitimate children that Lu Shaoren had with his numerous lovers.

I know that you feel Im ignorant and incompetent. Everything is my fault. That child is innocent. I cant just stand by and do nothing while he suffers outside. Besides, youve seen Lu Beichuans condition. The doctor said theres serious damage below his waist. Its very possible that hell never be able to stand again. Do you want a person in a wheelchair the manage the Lu familys business? Furthermore, do you know that people like Lu Beichuan, who woke up after having serious injuries and was in a coma for a while, will have many residual adverse health effects?

Old Master Lu was resting one hand over the other on his cane. He didnt say anything.

Lu Shaoren knew Old Master Lus thoughts. Old Master Lu had worked hard his entire life for the family company. Rather than say Old Master Lu valued Lu Beichuan, it was better to say that he valued Lu Beichuans abilities.

I checked. Lin Zhans abilities arent weak. Hes always ranked amongst the best since childhood and graduated from a famous school. Theres no aspect that he loses out to Lu Beichuan. You think that Im doing this for myself, but Im really doing this for our familys business. Ill speak frankly with you. I have a clear understanding of my abilities, and Lu Beichuan is still recuperating. There has to be someone to take over the duties. What do you think?

Old Master Lu said in lowered voice, Why do you know about Lu Beichuans condition so well?

As his father, of course I have to care about his health condition.

Old Master Lu scoffed, Do you really care?

A father understood his son the best, so of course, he knew what Lu Shaoren was actually thinking. He was thinking that Lu Beichuan would be difficult to manipulate, so he wanted to bring back someone that would be easy to manipulate.

However, Lu Shaorens words did make sense.

Lu Beichuans physical condition wasnt good. Although Lu Beichuan was still able to manage the familys company, Lu Shaorens words werent wrong either. The person in charge of the Lu family couldnt be someone that sat in a wheelchair.

If Lu Beichuan didnt have a lasting disability, that would be the best, but if not

Old Master Lu sighed. Alright, go take care of this business.

Hearing Old Master Lus sigh, Lu Shaoren knew that he was close to getting what he wanted. He controlled the emotions showing on his face and quietly said, Dont worry. Ill handle this matter well.
