I’m Pregnant with the Villain’s Child - Chapter 173

Chapter 173 – Then I have to work hard now in order to leave behind a bigger inheritance for you to squander in the future (2)

“So, you’re saying that you won’t agree to letting Lin Zhan join our family no matter what?”

A year ago, when Lu Beichuan had been lying in bed, he heard the news that Lu Shaoren had brought an illegitimate son, Lu Beifan, home.

The son of a mistress wasn’t someone that could be brought to public gatherings. While Lu Beichuan was still alive, Lu Shaoren had blatantly moved this Lu Beifan into the villa, gave him a position in the company, and educated him on the family business. He tried to replace his position in the family. Mrs. Lu could only swallow her anger. Lu Beifan had even dared to bully and make a pass at his wife by his sick bed. Kicking him out back then had been letting him off easily.

He definitely wouldn’t allow something like that to happen again!

“I already said this is your private business. But if you ask my opinion, then my opinion is unchangeable. I don’t agree to this.”

Right now, Lu Beichuan was the one in control. He had over 50% of Lu Corporation’s shares. Without Old Master Lu being aware of it, he had already lost control of the Lu’s.

Was Old Master Lu’s only intention to recognize Lin Zhan as his grandson?

If that was it, why would he need to ask for Lu Beichuan’s opinion?

What he wanted to know was Lu Beichuan’s attitude towards Lin Zhan and if he would be able to enter Lu Corporation in the future.

“I understand your point, but you should also remember Lu Beifan. No matter how innocent Lin Zhan is, I’ll still regard him as my mortal enemy. There’s always rivalry between brothers. Lu Corporation doesn’t need that many people with the last name Lu. I’m enough by myself.”

Old Master Lu looked at him. He loosened his tight grip on his cane. He stared at Lu Beichuan for a long time as if he wanted to find clues on his face.

However, his grandson’s face was calm and composed. He had already become too skilled of a tactician to show his emotions.

A long time later, Old Master Lu finally sighed deeply. “Grandpa understands your point. I’ll let Lin Zhan recognize his ancestors, but you can rest assured that Lin Zhan will never appear at Lu Corporation.”

This could be considered as Old Master Lu backing down.

Lu Beichuan slightly nodded. “I said that you’re free to recognize whoever you want as your grandchild. I don’t have the right to interfere in that. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

After saying that, Lu Beichuan got up to leave.

However, Old Master Lu called out in a deep voice to stop him.

Lu Beichuan paused his steps.

“You… Very good. Grandpa feels at ease with handing Lu Corporation over to you.”

Lu Beichuan slightly nodded. “I won’t fail to live up to grandpa’s great expectations.”

He pushed open the door and left. Old Master Lu was the only person left in the study.

Old Master Lu leaned on his cane. With a bent figure, he tottered over to the window and looked at the servants that were still cleaning up the mess in the garden. He heard the sound of the door opening behind him.

“Once a person gets old, they should just accept defeat. Beichuan has grown up, and I can’t hold him back anymore.”

The old butler smiled. “Old Master, you can put your worries down.”

“Yeah.” Old Master Lu turned around and looked at the old butler. “I’m going back to the ancestral home tomorrow. Call the lawyer over too. I’m going to change my will.”

“Change your will?”

Old Master Lu harrumphed. “That brat didn’t give me any face in front of the others. There’s no way I’ll leave my shares of Lu Corporation and other assets to him! I have to teach him a lesson this time!”

“Old Master, your will…” The old butler understood that Old Master Lu felt guilty about Lin Zhan and wanted to make it up to him. He probably wanted to change his will in Lin Zhan’s favor. But if he did that, wouldn’t Lin Zhan become Lu Beichuan’s bane?

Old Master Lu was silent for a while, and then he laughed. “I think Zhifei is pretty good. There were so many people at his first lunar birthday celebration, but he didn’t cry at all. I can see that he’ll grow up into someone that can handle important occasions. And that child smiled at me as soon as he was born. He’s sure to be filial when he grows up. He won’t be like his dad, who only makes me mad.”

After the old butler heard these words, he laughed along with Old Master Lu.

“Okay, I’ll arrange for a lawyer to come tomorrow.”

Old Master Lu nodded and didn’t say anything else.
