Chapter 809: Will You Love Me?
Lu Xiao saw that his son was quite capable and was happy to take it easy until he realized that this son was gradually slipping out of his control. Even the Lu family shares in his hands were being slowly eroded without him knowing...
The current Lu Corporation still carries the Lu name, but it has long ceased to be Lu Xiao’s Lu—it’s Lu Jing’s Lu.
Yet Lu Jing still felt it wasn’t enough.
On the day he completely took control of Lu Corporation, he even changed its name.
Re Corporation.
His mother’s surname was Qiao, and her nickname was Ran’er, and now Lu Corporation is named after his mother.
The Lu family considered her a disgrace and wanted to erase her existence, but he insisted that everyone remember!
The more the Lu family didn’t want outsiders to know they had a mad mistress, the more he insisted on grandly organizing his mother’s funeral, forcing everyone in the Lu family to kneel before her spirit, and keep vigil for her!
Because of this, Lu Xiao was so furious that he spat blood and almost couldn’t catch his breath at the funeral hall.
Lu Jing watched his biological father in a hysterical state while the elders of the Lu family were filled with anger but dared not speak, and even fawned over him, only to feel disgusted and nauseated.
Thinking of how his mother lost her whole life in such a family, he didn’t want to stay there for even a moment.
But he had no friends, so after leaving the Lu family, he drove aimlessly around the streets for a long time.
When he finally stopped, he realized he had unknowingly driven to Zhang Lingying’s apartment, which led to the scene where she saw him at her doorway last night...
"Do you think she would be happy seeing everyone in the Lu family kneeling and repenting in front of her?"
Zhang Lingying: "..."
"Zhang Lingying, don’t look at me with those eyes. I’m not crying, nor do I need your sympathy," Lu Jing said with a calmness verging on cold-bloodedness, his eyes devoid of any emotion, yet somehow it made people feel uncomfortable.
Zhang Lingying recalled a question he’d asked her before about whether people become stars after they die, and she crouched down before him on an impulse, reaching out to give him a hug, speaking softly.
"If you’re really sad, cry. No one will laugh at you. When my dad passed away, it was just me. I promised him I would live on strongly, but in the end, I still cried for a long time."
The departure of a loved one is not something that can be soothed with just a comforting word.
After she finished speaking, she clearly felt his body become rigid in her embrace, and then slowly relax a bit.
Immediately after, she felt wetness on her shoulder.
She didn’t say anything further, just quietly stayed with him.
In a daze, she vaguely understood why Re Corporation’s way of doing things was so extreme.
Perhaps in Lu Jing’s world, no one ever taught him how to be a good person; the principle he followed was that the victor becomes the king.
He had to grow up in the shortest time to take control of his fate and protect his mother.
She didn’t know how long it took, long enough for Zhang Lingying to feel the strain of her crouched position, before she finally heard Lu Jing’s voice, a hoarse, broken sound: "Zhang Lingying, I don’t have a mom anymore."
It was the only moment of vulnerability he showed the entire night.
Zhang Lingying’s eyes inexplicably welled up with emotion, and like comforting a child, she gently patted his back, "In the future, there will be more people who will love you on her behalf."
