Chapter 53 – She didn’t dare to move (2)
Lu Shaoren had an expression as if this was par for the course. He nodded. “Yes, dad agreed!”
Mother Lu’s face froze into an ugly expression. A long time later, she incredulously spat out a question, “How could that be possible?”
“Why not?!” Displeased, Lu Shaoren sternly and self-righteously said, “Even though Beichuan woke up, the doctor has said he might not be able to stand up again. His recovery will depend on follow up medical treatments. What if he can never stand again? How could a disabled person be the Lu family’s successor? That would be outrageously inappropriate.”
After saying this, Lu Shaoren sighed. He turned his head to face Lu Beichuan and said, “Beichuan, don’t blame dad. Your grandfather was the one that agreed to this matter. You should understand what he’s having misgivings about. You haven’t fully recovered, and there’s too much work to do for the company. It won’t be good for your recovery if you’re weighed down by the company’s responsibilities. With Lin Zhan here, he’ll be able to share some of the burdens with you. The two of you are brothers. There’s no need to draw a line between you and him.”
Mother Lu trembled in anger from hearing these pompous and grandiose words.
In contrast, Lu Beichuan’s expression remained coldly detached. It seemed as if nothing was capable of bothering him. “Brothers? Have you done a paternity test to confirm that he’s really a member of the Lu family?”
“Of course. If you don’t believe me, I can take Lin Zhan to do a paternity test.”
Lu Beichuan smiled. “Sure. Bring him back once you have the results from a paternity test. But, until that happens, however you brought him here, show him the way out too.”
“Lu Beichuan!” Furious, Lu Shaoren shouted, “Do you still hold any respect for me and your grandfather?! How can you not understand how hard this is on him? Everyone is just doing what they think will be the best for your health!”
“If you’re really worried about my physical condition, then there’s no need for you to worry. Because...” Lu Beichuan stood up, leaned over to add some food to Mother Lu’s bowl with chopsticks, and continued saying, “My recovery is going quite well.”
Lu Shaoren looked at Lu Beichuan in astonishment. The sight of Lu Beichuan standing up had utterly shocked Lu Shaoren. “You... can stand up?”
Lu Beichuan nodded. “Yes.”
“When... when did this happen?”
Mother Lu’s mood greatly improved. Feeling exuberant, she answered, “It happened during the past few days. You’re always saying there’s so much work at the company, but now you don’t have to be so busy. Our son will be going back to the company and helping you.”
Lu Shaoren’s face changed colors. He had previously gotten news that Lu Beichuan wouldn’t be able to stand up again for the rest of his life, but Lu Beichuan had already fully recovered a few days after that diagnosis! He was totally caught off guard!
Under these circumstances, it was laughable for him to bring Lin Zhan back!
Now that the Lu family’s successor was in a good physical condition, Old Master Lu would never allow him to bring back an illegitimate child whose identity would become a pretext for gossip.
“So, do you think the Lu family needs two successors? Lu Beichuan’s sharp eyes narrowed. Looking at Lin Zhan, he said, “However he came here, have him leave that way too.”
By saying these words in front of the servants and guest, he wasn’t giving Lu Shaoren any face.
