Chapter 822: I Don’t Play with Fools
She reached out and touched it; the porridge was still warm.
Zhang Lingying turned to freshen up, then sat at the dining table. While sipping her porridge, she couldn’t help but wonder, Lu Jing left her breakfast, but did he eat himself?
He was still awake at three in the morning yesterday and left early today. Was there something going on?
Zhang Lingying remembered the livestream she hadn’t finished watching yesterday, so she picked up her phone again and opened the replay.
She scrolled to where she had stopped the previous day and immediately saw Lu Jing surrounded by a group of reporters, bombarded with questions.
Reporter: "Your father says you’ve been reclusive since childhood and not close to the other brothers and sisters in the Lu family. Do you admit there are indeed issues with your personality?"
In the video, Lu Jing raised his eyes and looked at the reporter, letting out a mocking laugh, "I don’t play with idiots."
The reporters were speechless.
Reporter: "About the rumors in the industry, do you have anything you want to explain for yourself?"
Lu Jing looked indifferent, "What rumors are you referring to? Normal business competition, nothing that needs explaining."
Reporter: "Those companies that competed against the Re Group ended up being acquired or going bankrupt. Do you think that’s normal?"
Lu Jing’s gaze turned sharp as he looked into the camera, "I’m only responsible for the Re Group. If there are issues with those companies that failed to continue operating, you should ask them."
The reporters were speechless again.
Reporter: "You mentioned being responsible for the Re Group earlier. Was one of your responsibilities removing your father and a group of veterans from the board of directors?"
Reporter: "Your father feels you didn’t care about your mother, barely visiting her when she was ill. Is this true?"
Reporter: "Your mother just passed away, and now you’re at odds with your father. Isn’t this somewhat unfilial?"
The reporters’ questions grew more frequent and sharp, but Lu Jing’s expression remained calm throughout. It wasn’t until they mentioned his mother that his eyebrows arched slightly, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
The bullet comments were filled with people questioning him because of his arrogant attitude.
Zhang Lingying, feeling irritated, simply closed the comments and focused on listening to Lu Jing’s answers.
Like the reporters on the scene, she waited for nearly a minute before Lu Jing finally began to speak slowly, "He’s not qualified to mention my mother."
Having said that, he left with a cold expression.
Immediately following, Lu Xiao fainted from anger and was sent to the hospital.
This part was fully live-streamed; in the footage, Lu Xiao was clutching his chest, repeatedly cursing Lu Jing as unfilial, threatening to sever their father-son relationship.
Zhang Lingying turned off the livestream, pursed her lips, and checked today’s hot searches.
The news of Lu Xiao entering the hospital was everywhere. After recovering from emergency treatment, he immediately released records of Lu Jing’s sporadic visits over the years to see Qiao Ran at the psychiatric hospital.
The blank registration records from a few years ago, along with the sparse subsequent visitation logs, confirmed the truth of his statements.
Lu Xiao finally released his own medical records, declaring that Lu Jing not only didn’t care about his mother but was now pushing his father to death for the sake of the company’s shares, causing public outrage.
The comment section was filled with angry netizens condemning Lu Jing’s unfilial behavior, with some even saying he doesn’t deserve to be human...
Zhang Lingying glanced at a few comments, irritatedly shut off her phone.
In her mind appeared the image of Lu Jing curled up on the corner of her living room floor all night due to his mother’s passing. The night before, he had leaned on her shoulder, sobbing. Yet, at the funeral the next day, he seemed unaffected.
