Chapter 655: Who Does Lu Qin Think He Is
“Don’t worry, son. Mum knows what you worry about the most and what you lose sleep over. I will take good care of Yan Huan. You know as well, I like Yan Huan a lot. I will treat her as my own daughter and will not let anyone hurt her. I will make sure she is safe and sound throughout her whole life. Mum will be her guardian angel for you.”
The wind gently caressed the leaves. A fallen leaf happened to descend slowly in front of Ye Shuyun. Ye Shuyun squatted down and picked up the fallen leaf from the ground and held it between her numb fingers.
In the end, she could not hold her feelings anymore. She held on to her son’s tombstone and broke down into tears.
What can I do now, what can I do now, God, what can I do now?
She did not want to live anymore as she had lost her son. But how could she not want to live, how could she just die? Her son exchanged his life for hers.
Lu Jin walked over and squatted down beside her. Then, he put his hand on Ye Shuyun’s shoulder.
At that moment, a guard pushed over a wheelchair.
Lu Jin turned around to look at him, his pale lips touched for a brief moment. Then, he shook his head and stood beside Ye Shuyun.
Old Master Lu was seated in his wheelchair, with his expression blank. Even though he was well-groomed and dressed, his grief and hopelessness could clearly be seen from his white hair and hollow stare.
Even though he always scolded and beat Lu Yi, who would have known that he liked this grandson the most, and loved him dearly as well? When he heard that his grandson passed away, he nearly could not make it as well. His hair turned grey overnight and he could not walk. He locked himself up for a few days. He would not have been here if it was not because of Lu Yi.
“Hmm, this is a good place,” he caressed the tombstone and continued, “Grandpa always gave you a hard time, but that’s because I want you to be successful. You’re always the one who is well-behaved, why aren’t you doing the same now? Why can’t you just let me go first? You’re an unfilial grandson.” He raised his arm, holding a leather whip in his hand. Crack! He hit the tombstone with the whip.
“I’ll beat you to death, you unfilial grandson. You just leave Grandpa and your parents like this. What kind of son and grandson are you…” He hit the tombstone continuously with the whip, yet tears were streaming down his old face. He was crying.
The Old Master, who was a veteran and a man of power for his whole life, was now sobbing like a child.
Ye Shuyun’s legs got weak, she could barely stand on her own without leaning on Lu Jin. She touched her own face and still found it hard to face this grief.
Lu Jin gently tapped her on the shoulder and sighed as well, “Those who are alive have to move on and continue living. Sooner or later we will come to this stage, it’s just that he left earlier than us.”
Ye Shuyun nodded and held in her dam of tears. She was afraid that if she let out the waterworks, it would be hard for her to stop.
“At least I can be sure of one thing now.”
She moved the edges of her lips but her eyes were locked on Old Master Lu, who was standing in front of the tombstone. The Old Master had aged too. She came to a realization that the prejudices and biases were all in the past; everything was in the past.
Life is fragile. Since that person has already passed away, what’s the point of remembering all that? Would it be useful?
“What’s the matter?” Lu Jin tightened his grasp on Ye Shuyun’s shoulder, yet his own eyes were bloodshot and his gaze dull.
Ye Shuyun could cry out her pain, but he could not do anything. He could only repress all the grief deep in his heart, together with the heart-wrenching pain.
An elder had to face the death of his child, how could he not ache?
Ye Shuyun held Lu Jin’s hand tightly. The two of them were left alone now, till death tore them apart.
“Now I believe it.”
“Believe what?” Lu Jin asked his wife, whom he had spent his whole life with.
“Believe that…” Ye Shuyun’s voice came to a halt, her throat was sore, who knew how much pain she had swallowed to put on a happy face. “You are indeed your father’s son and definitely not adopted.”
Lu Jin ran his fingers through his wife’s locks. He did not know what to say when he saw the Old Master Lu beating the tombstone not far away. Just hit it, hit it.
After that, he can do whatever he wants to do. Those who are alive have to move on and continue living until the day they die, that’s when everything will come to an end.
Yi Ling went to the hospital right after work. She had to take care of Linlang because Luo Lin could not handle Linlang alone, she had to assist with the internal operation. No matter what, Linlang was Yan Huan’s painstaking effort. She could not just leave Linlang. She could not give up regardless of all the obstacles.
Thankfully, they had Lei Qingyi, who was the head of the National Security Department, to support them so that nobody dared do anything to Linlang. She would kill anyone who dared to lay their hands on Linlang. Since Yan Huan was in that situation, all she needed was protection. As for the people who wanted Linlang, they should just go back to daydreaming.
Some random people had announced Lu Yi’s death to the public but they had toned down all the rumors. However, even if they could shut one person up, it was clearly impossible for them to shut the mouths of a whole country.
The netizens were gossiping that it was time for Linlang to change the owner. Since the Lu family only had two heirs, it would either be Lu Yi or Lu Qin. Now that Lu Yi was not there anymore, naturally it would belong to Lu Qin. From then onwards, Lu Qin would be Linlang’s new owner. Even though Linlang was a newly established company, its assets were shocking. Every year, the company’s assets were increased by multiples, the hottest films were all produced by Linlang. Hence, Linlang was gaining fame very quickly. Besides, the company was going to move to a brand new tower next year. The building itself, excluding the additions and renovation, was worth a few billion dollars or even more. If Lu Qin became the new owner of Linlang, it would mean that the new era of Linlang, countless resources and the billions of assets, would all belong to Lu Qin.
Yi Ling could not help laughing every time she saw the news. She was lazy to explain it further anyway.
Whoever came up with that idea had an impressive imagination. Why not use that imagination to write books or scripts, instead of making one story after another as if they were all real?
Who did Lu Qin think he was to have a say in Linlang?
Yan Huan predicted that this would happen in the first place, so Linlang’s representative by law was not Yan Huan or Lu Yi, but Yi Ling from the Lei family. According to the law, the Lu family had no relation with Linlang at all, which meant it had nothing to do with Lu Yi as well. Similarly, it was impossible that it was related to Lu Qin too.
