Chapter 877 No Escape
When Chu Sulan saw Lu Qiaoge arrive, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Even though the two grew up together, and even though Luo Ziwen behaved the same as before.
However, a successful chairman with so many assets, Luo Ziwen, who has worked his way up in Hong Kong for so many years, can no longer be the same as before.
His difference is evident in his clothing, his speech and behavior, and the expressions he inadvertently reveals.
This made Chu Sulan feel that the Luo Ziwen of the past was just the Luo Ziwen in her memory.
But this Luo Ziwen is completely unfamiliar to me now.
Fortunately, Luo Ziwen knew that he was definitely different from before.
It's fair to say that the simple, enthusiastic, and kind-hearted rural youth has changed a lot after all these years of hard work and struggle.
However, his love for his son was genuine.
As for Chu Sulan...
If he truly still loves her now, even intelligent and worldly people probably wouldn't believe it.
Even Chu Sulan herself wouldn't believe it.
He and Su Lan were childhood sweethearts and had always loved each other.
Especially after experiencing a woman like Zhen Meili.
I'm increasingly realizing how rare it is to find a woman like Su Lan.
But he couldn't say these things, nor would he say them; no one would believe him if he did, and he would only become a laughingstock.
Anyway, my son is already eighteen and will be taking the college entrance exam soon. All that love and romance is insignificant compared to survival.
But we still need to show the right attitude.
Then, because Luo Ziwen had a good attitude, the three of them got along quite well. Luo Ziwen then presented the facts and reasoned with the mother and son.
This is what he told Chu Sulan and the others.
“If we hadn’t recognized each other, maybe your lives would have remained the same, and no one would have said anything. But now those in the know understand Aijun’s identity. He is destined not to grow up step by step like an ordinary boy, to start a family and build a career, and to walk his own path.”
Then Luo Ziwen said with some melancholy, "You know my family situation. My dad has always liked to show off in front of my uncles and aunts that he's the boss and capable at home."
To be honest, we were really united back then, and that's how we conquered the territory and built the company we have today.
There's a saying: "A person can't walk without a head, and a bird can't fly without a head."
I am the leader, and the more I give, the more I receive.
At first, everyone was fine, but as time went on, and my father always said that there was no difference between sons and nephews, as they could both take care of him in his old age.
This has led many people to harbor unrealistic expectations, always hoping to have their children adopted by me as their heirs, while I and…
Luo Ziwen paused for a moment at this point.
Chu Sulan naturally knew what he was going to say, but she didn't feel any emotional turmoil. Having experienced the most difficult moment of her life, she was different from those women who had a smooth life.
Every time she thinks back to those dark moments, she wonders if she would be alive today without Lu Qiaoge and the government's help.
If she doesn't survive, Aijun will be an orphan.
What kind of future can an orphan with no parents and no one to rely on have?
At that time, Luo Ziwen did not know that he had a son.
Therefore, everything else is trivial compared to these.
Chu Sulan remained calm and even said softly, "It's alright, please continue."
Luo Ziwen felt awkward for a moment.
It's a bit embarrassing to talk about his marriage to another woman in front of his son.
But now that things have come to this, my son has to know all of this.
Not only Chu Sulan needed to know, but her son also needed to know, regardless of whether he went with her or not. But Luo Ziwen glanced at Luo Aijun and found that his son seemed indifferent as well.
This made Luo Ziwen feel relieved but also somewhat disappointed.
But he still said, "Especially after Zhen Meili and I got married and didn't have any children, the voices in the clan on this issue grew louder and louder."
To be honest, there are indeed outstanding children in the clan, and I've arranged for them all to study abroad. Now, the Luo family's businesses aren't just in Hong Kong; they also have operations overseas.
Therefore, if there are outstanding talents in the clan, I will definitely give them priority in employment.
But I didn't have this idea before I knew about Aijun's existence.
Then I thought, at worst, I can break up the company and give what belongs to them to them, and I'll just take what belongs to me.
However, doing so is not beneficial to Roche's industrial development at all.
After I learned of Aijun's existence, Aijun became my, Luo Ziwen's, rightful heir.
After learning of Aijun's existence, everyone outwardly expressed their happiness for me, especially my parents, who had always wanted to meet him.
They wanted to come with me this time too.
It's different to talk on the phone than to talk face-to-face, so I came here to ask for your opinions as well.
But before that, I want to tell you something.
Returning to Hong Kong with me would be generally beneficial for Aijun, but there would definitely be some disadvantages as well.
Su-lan, you know I also enjoy reading. Since ancient times, fathers and sons, brothers and sisters have turned against each other when faced with interests, let alone cousins.
I cannot guarantee with absolute certainty that Aijun will have a smooth and successful life, and that everyone will love and support him as the heir to the Luo family business.
But I can guarantee Aijun's safety.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ziwen was interrupted by Luo Aijun at this point in his speech.
The boy calmly said, "Dad, don't make promises lightly. You should know that the word 'promise' carries a lot of weight."
Meanwhile, Luo Ziwen, who was walking downstairs, felt very gratified.
Ai Jun was even more outstanding than he had imagined.
Although it's not yet finalized whether his son will go to university in Hong Kong with him, judging from his attitude, he's inclined to not run away and bravely face the Luo family.
Lu Qiaoge helped Luo Ziwen into the car. The reception work at the hotel was also very important, so Luo Ziwen couldn't be allowed to take too long.
Luo Ziwen is currently a Hong Kong businessman, and therefore considered a foreign guest, so he cannot stay here.
It's already an exception that he was allowed to come without any staff.
Lu Qiaoge waved to Chu Sulan with a smile, and then she got into the car.
However, before getting on the bus, he said to Luo Aijun, who was standing next to the bus, "I heard from Xiao Si that you and Xiao Si were only 0.5 points apart in this mock exam?"
Luo Aijun nodded: "This time the difference is the smallest."
Lu Qiaoge smiled and said to him, "Then good luck! I look forward to the two of you tying for first place."
Luo Ziwen, sitting in the car, also wore a proud expression.
Su-lan is not very good at studying, but she has loved reading since she was a child.
Back then, there was still a primary school in the village, and he always came in first place.
So his son definitely inherited his father's talent for studying.
There will be another update this afternoon.
