Chapter 75 - Truth
“I still have one more thing to say.”
Lu Hongyong looked at Lu Gan. Suddenly, his tone became gentle.
“Lu Gan, since you don’t care about the company anymore, you must return Lu Heng’s portion of shares to me. You have too much and it’s inappropriate.”
Lu Gan was instantly stunned. He never expected his biological father to utter such words.
Song Ci could sense the change in Lu Gan’s emotions. She turned around and looked at him. Then, she held his hand tightly and said softly, “Lu Gan…”
Lu Gan regained his senses after hearing Song Ci’s voice. He appeared to be slightly better. After composing himself, he leaned against the wheelchair and said in an ice-cold tone, “Never!”
Lu Hongyong’s face immediately darkened.
“Lu Gan, you… Those were originally…”
All of a sudden, the door opened and Lu Hongyong was interrupted.
“Get out!”
Lu Hongyong yelled without thinking.
This frightened Zhu Yi, who was already crying. He cried even louder and called for his father. That would be Zhu Mingzhan, Lu Suying’s son.
Lu Xu, Lu Suo, Song Yujin, and the other children also came over.
Upon seeing Lu Suo and Song Yujin, Song Ci quickly stood up. She looked worried. Were they bullied?
“What’s wrong? Who bullied you?”
Zhu Mingzhan asked. His heart ached upon seeing Zhu Yi cry.
Zhu Yi turned his head and pointed at Lu Suo. He shouted, “Lu Suo bullied me. He’s the devil. He pushed me into the water and tried to drown me.”
Zhu Mingzhan then noticed that Zhu Yi’s clothes were dripping wet.
Song Ci was shocked. She looked at Lu Suo who was standing at the door. His clothes were also wet. Without wasting any time, she quickly walked over. Lu Suo’s eyes were full of grievance and his lips were tightly pursed.
“I didn’t! He fell into the water and I pulled him out. Otherwise, he would have drowned. He’s lying because he doesn’t want to be scolded!”
As Lu Suo spoke, tears began flowing down his eyes. It was a heartbreaking sight and Song Ci was greatly affected.
Zhu Yi was Lu Suying’s grandson. He was completely spoiled and would usually cause a lot of trouble.
When Lu Hongyong heard this, he scolded Zhu Yi angrily, “You made a mistake, yet, you blame others? Little Suo is only five years old while you’re ten. How could he push you?”
Lu Hongyong looked at his sister’s family and added, “Zhu Mingzhan, take your son away. This is the Lu family, not your Zhu family! Don’t bring him here if he doesn’t know how to behave.”
Zhu Yi did not expect to be scolded. He cried even harder!
Zhu Mingzhan glanced at his mother. Since Lu Suying was a girl, she had no rights in the Lu family. Hence, she dared not openly oppose Lu Hongyong. In the end, Zhu Mingzhan could only get up and leave with Zhu Yi.
Lu Jie looked at their departing figures. After thinking for a while, he said, “Wait, wasn’t Lu Xu downstairs as well? Why don’t we ask him?”
“Are you saying that Lu Suo pushed Zhu Yi?”
Lu Gan asked coldly.
Lu Jie quickly answered, “No… I just…”
“You better be careful with your words.”
Lu Gan interrupted.
“Otherwise, I’ll vote for a professional manager to take over.”
Lu Jie kept quiet right away.
“Lu Gan, he’s just…”
Lu Hongchang wanted to mediate, but Lu Gan would have none of it.
“Second uncle, hiring a professional manager is good, right? Third uncle also agrees. If that’s the majority vote, I have no objections.”
Lu Gan laughed.
Lu Hongju crossed his arms and laughed loudly.
Lu Hongchang turned his head and also kept his mouth shut.
Lu Gan’s anger had just subsided when he heard his father ask, “Lu Xu, tell me, what exactly happened?”
Lu Gan gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Hongyong.
“You don’t believe Lu Suo?”
Lu Hongyong looked up.
“I do. However, Lu Xu was there at the time. He’s the oldest and was responsible for taking care of them. He definitely knew what happened!”
Lu Gan sneered. In a contemptuous tone, he said, “You think Lu Suo would push Zhu Yi? Lu Suo is your biological grandson. You watched him grow up. Don’t you know his personality? How could you trust Zhu Yi’s words over Lu Suo’s? Has Lu Suo done this kind of thing before?”
Lu Hongyong was a little shaken, but he replied in a deep voice, “I’m not doubting Lu Suo. Since you trust him so much, you shouldn’t have to worry about what Lu Xu would say, right?”
