“Dad, how are you? How do you feel?” Lu Zichuan asked.
Looking very weak, Lu Qinzheng looked around and seemed to see Lu Manman. His expression changed, and he said, “I don’t want to see Lu Manman. Tell her to get lost!”
Lu Zichuan hurriedly yelled at Lu Manman, “Get lost! The doctor just said not to agitate my dad. Your appearance here is doing exactly that!”
Lu Manman looked at Lu Qinzheng, then at Lu Zichuan. “Then, I’ll have to trouble Second Uncle to take care of Grandpa.”
With that, she grabbed her father and whispered, “Dad, let’s go back first.”
“But your grandfather…”
“You guys are just getting bullied here. Trust me. Grandpa will be fine, and I have something to discuss with you.”
Lu Zishan hesitated for a moment and then turned to Lu Qinzheng. He respectfully said, “Rest well, Dad. I’ll come and see you when I’m free.”
“See me? I will go and see you when you’re in jail,” Lu Qinzheng said sarcastically.
Lu Zishan was embarrassed but still smiled gently. “Rest well. I’ll get going.”
With that, he pulled He Xiuwen and left with Lu Manman.
The family of three sat in Qin Ao’s car.
Lu Manman looked in the direction of the hospital and then turned to Lu Zishan. “Dad, Grandpa must have been pretending earlier.”
“How do you know?”
“My instincts are strong.”
“Could you be prejudiced against your grandfather?” Lu Zishan asked with a frown.
“I admit that I’m biased, but I believe that I won’t anger Grandpa to the point of fainting. Moreover, Grandpa definitely didn’t just faint to scare us. There were so many reporters at the entrance. We might soon hear mockery and curses directed at us on the news.” Lu Manman pursed her lips. “Grandpa must have a conspiracy.”
Lu Zishan went quiet for a while before asking, “What conspiracy could there be?”
“I don’t know, but I think we’ll find out soon. Before that, I have something to show you.” With that, she showed him the document she had gotten from Mo Yuanxiu.
There were a lot of things at stake, and she wanted to hear her father’s opinion on them. Hence, she had left the company with the documents in the car.
Lu Zishan looked at the item in her hands and scrutinized it. The more he looked at it, the more incredulous he felt.
“Manman, what does this mean?” Lu Zishan asked excitedly.
“Dad, it’s exactly as you see. In the end, the people who want to hurt us are your biological father and brother,” Lu Manman said directly.
Lu Zishan was fuming as well, and his emotions were evident. “I’ve already done my best for them. Back then, I was really shocked when Grandpa gave me Lu Firm, but since it was the decision of the older generation, I decided to bear the responsibility. I admit that I was selfish back then as well. I didn’t let my father and brother enter the company, and I knew that they were not beneficial for my management. But even if I didn’t let them enter the company, I still transferred thirty percent of my dividends to my father’s account every year. This sum of money is enough to ensure that they live comfortably. I really don’t know what I owe them!”
“Grandpa and Second Uncle will always want Lu Firm. Hence, no matter how humble and compromising we are in front of them, they will not treat us sincerely. On the contrary, the more we tolerate them, the worse they become. Dad, what we do next will depend on you. I just suggest that we don’t let them off easily. Letting them off easily is akin to keeping a traitor,” Lu Manman looked at her father and said gently.
