Chapter 246: First Snow
Lu Chen took a deep breath. He knew it was not the time to break up with the Lu family yet. He stood up and forcibly dragged Chen Lin, who was crying hoarsely and unwilling to leave, back to the room.
Lu Huan looked at Chen Lin from behind, sobbing quietly, with worry and fear in his eyes.
Ji Xingchen frowned slightly, walked to Lu Huan, and gently held her hand: "Huanhuan, sit down with sister-in-law."
Lu Huan shook his head: "I want to go with my mother."
Ji Xingchen knew that Lu Huan was worried about Chen Lin, so he said, "Wait a moment, and I will serve you and your mother's food. You can serve it and eat it with your mother."
Lu Huan nodded slightly. In this family, her sister-in-law was her favorite.
But my sister-in-law rarely comes home.
Ji Xingchen didn't like Chen Lin, but she couldn't bear Lu Huan's suffering. The child had been introverted and timid since he was a child. She would probably be scared to death when she saw her father beating her mother.
She went to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks again, packed the food, and handed it to Lu Huan: "Go ahead."
Lu Huan took it, but did not walk away immediately. She took Ji Xingchen's arm, walked a few steps forward, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, dad is very unhappy today. He even dropped something."
Ji Xingchen was stunned for a moment. She probably didn't expect Lu Huan to say this to her. He probably wanted to remind her to be careful about Lu Qing.
She smiled slightly and reached out to rub Lu Huan's head: "It's okay, don't worry, you go upstairs first."
Lu Huan nodded and walked slowly away.
Mr. Lu was still here, so Lu Qing couldn't help but have a seizure. From the moment he heard the news in the morning to now, his state of mind has undergone earth-shaking changes.
He is a businessman and knows what is best for him.
Now that he has lost complete control over the Lu family, he is afraid that the Lu family, including himself, will have to live under his son's hands in the future.
Lu Qing put his chopsticks on the table with a bang: "When did you start planning?"
He just wants to know this one question now.
When did his son, who had always been known for his dissolute and uneducated character, start setting up such a big scheme?
Mr. Lu frowned, "Okay, what's the point of asking now! Can't the whole family have a good meal?"
Lu Qing sneered with a stern face: "Family? Dad, you and your grandson are a family, right? You and your grandson are working together to deceive me, to oust the Lu family, and to oust me!"
Mr. Lu snorted from the tip of his nose: "The Lu family will only suffer defeat in your hands. If you hadn't taken a fancy to me as your grandson, do you think I would have given the Lu family to you?"
Lu Qing looked at Mr. Lu in disbelief: "Dad!"
Lu Yanbei brought the fish meat to Ji Xingchen, then slowly wiped his fingers clean and said in a calm voice, "Ten years ago."
"What?" Lu Qing was shocked.
Lu Yanbei opened his eyelids slightly and said calmly: "Didn't you ask me when I started planning? It was the night you first threatened me with my mother's ashes and tablet when I came home ten years ago."
Lu Qing's body stiffened, and he became angry: "So early? You are so early..."
Lu Yanbei said calmly: "I founded Chenbei three years ago to deal with you and the Lu family. Ten years is enough for me to hide my capabilities and bide my time. Father, no one knows you better than me. You are selfish and narrow-minded.
You are only interested in profit. In your eyes, only your own rights and interests are more important. So you can throw her away at will after using her, so that she will not be able to rest in peace even if she dies. Do you think I can't seek justice for my mother?
"
Lu Qing's face was pale and his lips were trembling. He didn't know whether he was angry or something.
Over the years, he has heard Lu Yanbei call him dad very rarely, let alone this serious and solemn call from father.
The first time the son called him father, he was saying that he was selfish, narrow-minded, and mercenary.
Lu Qing breathed heavily, as if to calm down the anger in his heart.
Mr. Lu had a sullen expression and said nothing.
Ji Xingchen glanced at Lu Yanbei and quietly held his cold fingertips under the table.
Lu Yanbei held her hand in his hand and continued: "I came here today to give you two choices. One is that you resign from Lu's and all the equity interests will be transferred to my name. I can let Lu's continue to operate.
You can also continue to live in the Lu family. One is that the Lu family declared bankruptcy due to losses and Chen Bei took over. The Lu family villa will also be frozen."
Lu Qing's expression changed immediately: "Impossible! The Lu family has grown up in my hands. How much have I paid for it over the years? I have to leave if you tell me to leave? Do you still think of me as an old man?
!”
Lu Yanbei looked calm: "In this family, is there any so-called family affection? You should be grateful that you are grandpa's son, otherwise I would not give you the first choice today."
Lu Qing's face was very ugly, but he was speechless for a moment.
Just now, he was taking a chance. Lu Yanbei was his son after all, and he would never let him live on the street. But now it seems that what he cares about is Mr. Lu's face.
After all, Mr. Lu felt sorry for his son, and sighed and said: "Lu Qing, forget it, you are almost sixty, isn't it good to be an idle prince for a few years? If the stalemate continues, do you think you still have the first option?
"
The Lu family has long been out of Lu Qing's control, and the outcome has already been determined. Lu Qing knows it better than anyone else, so he made this call.
Lu Qing finally fell silent and stopped talking.
The wind howled outside the window and the shadows of the trees swayed. It was already December, and there was unexpectedly a fine amount of snow falling outside.
The eaves and leaves were stained with a thin layer of snow-white.
Ji Xingchen stood outside the house, excitedly reaching out to catch the falling snowflakes, "Honey, it's snowing!"
"Well, it's snowing."
Ji Xingchen said: "This is the first snow this year!"
Lu Yanbei took off his coat and put it on her body, and helped her gather her scarf to cover her ears.
There was a hint of smile on his face: "Well, do you know what the first snow represents?"
Ji Xingchen blinked, and there were tiny stars in his eyes. Under the vast soft snow, Lu Yanbei said to her.
"The green hills never grow old, but they are white-headed by the snow. I would like to be that green mountain, and only white-headed by you in this life."
Ji Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then slowly curved his mouth, with a happy and sweet smile on his face: "Should Chuxue do something?"
Lu Yanbei smiled: "Like being with you?"
"No."
"Um?"
"Should kiss."
So they kissed deeply in the heavy snow.
