Chapter 520 - 529: The True Face of Lu Xing
Lu Xing was much calmer, even wearing a gentle smile on his face. Before leaving, he respectfully bowed to both Lu Qing and Old Sir Lu:"My apologies for the disturbance."
He didn’t say an extra word, as if this entire farce had nothing to do with him.
After the two left, Old Sir Lu’s expression turned a bit sorrowful:
"How did I end up with such an ungrateful son? Back then, if it weren’t for you, the Lu Family would have already crumbled. And now? He actually has the audacity to show up here, and judging from what he’s saying, he wants to fight over the inheritance!
Fighting for inheritance with one’s own son—what a joke it would be if this got out!"
Lu Qing stepped forward, raising his hand to gently pat him: "Grandpa, don’t get angry. It’s not worth it."
"Thankfully, the Lu Family has you, my good grandson. Don’t worry. Even if I die, everything in the Lu Family will belong only to you. That unfilial son won’t get a single cent! As for his son, I refuse to acknowledge him! The Lu Family won’t recognize him either!"
Lu Qing smiled faintly and said:
"He and his son won’t be a problem. Grandpa, rest assured, I’ll handle this."
A trace of worry flashed across Old Sir Lu’s face, and he couldn’t help but say:
"My good grandson, those two are still family. Don’t be too ruthless."
"Grandpa, are you worried I’ll kill them both?"
"I know how you handle things. I’m just afraid you might lose control in the heat of the moment. No matter how despicable he is, he’s still your father."
Lu Qing’s expression turned colder: "Understood."
"Now that you’ve said so, I can finally feel at ease. This old body of mine doesn’t have much time left. If you and your wife could have a great-grandchild for me soon, I’d leave this world without regrets."
"Grandpa, you’re still strong and healthy. You’ll live to be a hundred."
"Let’s hope so."
Although he said that, Old Sir Lu was well aware of his declining health. It was hard to say how much longer he could hold on.
As for that disgrace of a son, there really wasn’t much to say—it was all disappointment. However, the son born to him seemed to be much more promising in comparison.
But unfortunately, Lu Qing’s temperament could sometimes be overly cold-blooded. He only worried that Lu Qing might even go after his half-brother.
Lu Qing walked out of the Lu Family’s old house. Lu Xingfeng had already left, but Lu Xing remained standing there. At this point, the gentleness on his face was completely gone, replaced by a mischievously sinister air.
He looked at him with a faint smile: New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
"Hello, Brother."
Lu Qing glared coldly at him: "Drop that disgusting term."
"Why are you so irritable, Brother? Such a bad temper isn’t good for your health—you’ll age prematurely. I’ve heard so much about your great reputation, and now that I’ve finally seen you in person, I must say, I really admire you."
"State your purpose."
Lu Xing chuckled: "My purpose? Naturally, I’m here to fight for the inheritance."
Lu Qing’s expression grew colder: "Is that so?"
"That’s just the old man’s wishful thinking. He’s too naïve. Your business empire, which you built with your own hands, could never be taken away so easily, right? Besides, I’m not short of money. I’ve got enough for several lifetimes. I just think that challenging you is an interesting game. I want to see if snatching something from your grasp—be it power or women—might give me a thrill."
Lu Qing’s face darkened, his gaze turning frosty. No one could see exactly how he moved, but in an instant, his hand was around Lu Xing’s throat!
He pressed him firmly against the nearby wall and lowered his voice:
"If you dare lay a finger on my woman, I’ll cut you into a thousand pieces!"
"Relax, it was just talk. No need to get so worked up. Seems like you care a lot about your wife, Brother."
