Chapter 58: His Brain Was Stuck in the Door
He pursed his lips. “But we outsiders are the only ones who truly care about you! Brother Bei, if Xiang Xiaoyuan isn’t your stepmother, what does her pregnancy have to do with us? Yes, An Yu did act rashly, but her original intention was for your own good!”
Lu Bei sneered. “What, do you think that my future without my father will be nothing? I can only live under his wing, and I have to fight for the family assets with a child to ensure the quality of my life in the future? Am I that useless in your hearts?”
Wei Zihang panicked, “Brother Bei, you know that’s not what I meant. Uncle Lu’s things are yours to begin with, you can’t just hand them over!”
Lu Bei: “There’s no need. I’ve already told him that I won’t take a single thing from him in the future.”
Wei Zihang: “? ? ?”
What did he just hear? Did Brother Bei’s brain get stuck in the door? Why would he say something so stupid?
At this moment, Wei Zihang did not want to argue with Lu Bei about where An Yu was right or wrong. He tactfully reminded him, “Brother Bei, do you know how much wealth your family has? Do you know that Uncle Lu will be able to jump to the top of the list of wealthy in a few years?”
Lu Bei’s tone was indifferent. “I’m not sure. I don’t care. It has nothing to do with me.”
If it were not that they were on a call or for the fact that he could not beat Lu Bei, Wei Zihang really wanted to punch him and scold him, “Idiot!”
Although they were not adults yet, they had been influenced by what they heard and saw. Otherwise, why would An Yu worry that Lu Bei’s stepmother’s pregnancy would affect Lu Bei? In the eyes of adults, they were always children. Their minds were occupied with nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun. However, they actually knew a lot more than they thought.
They could have fun while others were studying because they knew that their foundation was good. Ordinary people would never be able to catch up to them no matter how hard they tried.
They stood on the wealth created by their parents, and did not have to worry about their future life. Knowing the importance of their parents’ financial resources too well, Wei Zihang felt that Lu Bei’s words were very stupid.
He advised earnestly, “Are you going to watch your father’s money go to your half-brother or half-sister in the future? Brother Bei, you’re too willful.”
The other rich and powerful families were fighting over family assets, but Brother Bei had already given up before the battle even started.
Lu Bei was firm in his thoughts, “So be it. It has nothing to do with me.”
He had already made up his mind that he would not take a single cent from his father after he turned 18! Some part of this decision might be made out of anger. He wanted his father to react to his words and decisions, but his father’s reaction was so calm that he finally understood.
After all, it was not like he could not support himself. After making this decision, he felt that he had a goal and was motivated to do things.
Wei Zihang: “… to have such a weird stepson like you, your stepmother would laugh even in her dreams.”
How lucky was she to have met such a fool who would willingly give up a huge fortune.
Speaking of his stepmother, Lu Bei thought of what An Yu had done. He pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. This time, his emotions were much calmer, his tone was even more tired. “Don’t do such things in the future. “She doesn’t have any ill intentions towards me, and I don’t have any ill intentions towards her either. Although we don’t have a relationship, she’s still my father’s wife. I don’t want to interfere in their matters, and I can’t do anything about it. Just like when my father and my mother divorced, if they want to have children, they can have children. It has nothing to do with me
“Help me tell An Yu that this matter is over, but if it happens again… Don’t blame me for not treating her as a friend.”
From the beginning to the end, Lu Bei had never targeted Xiang Xiaoyuan.
He didn’t have any feelings for her, just like roommates who shared the same room and were acquaintances. They were also like those classmates who were not familiar with each other in class. He knew her name and recognized her face, but they would not develop a closer relationship.
Wei Zihang could hear the seriousness in Lu Bei’s words. He could not help but sit up straight. “Don’t worry, An Yu won’t dare to. When she meets your stepmother, she’s like a chick meeting an old hen. She’d feel weak.”
Lu Bei nodded. The purpose of the call had been achieved. He did not have anything else to say and directly hung up the phone.
However, after hanging up the phone, he began to have a headache. When he thought of how An Yu actually talked to Xiang Xiaoyuan about the pregnancy, he let out a long sigh.
It would have been fine if he didn’t know about it. Since he knew about it, he couldn’t pretend that he didn’t know. Wei Zihang was right. An Yu had offended Xiang Xiaoyuan for his sake and made such an outrageous request. He couldn’t just ignore it.
But what could he do if he knew about it? Apologize to Xiang Xiaoyuan? Just thinking about it made him feel awkward.
Lu Bei: “So annoying!”
