Even if they did not care about Su Muran, they still had to give face to the Su family.
All the members of the Su family attended the wedding, but none from the Lu family showed up. Old Master Lu was an elderly man who needed a wheelchair to get around, so he would not travel so far to attend a Western wedding. As for Lu Jin and his wife, there were rumors about them not being in a good mental state and were currently recuperating since they lost their son. As for Yan Huan herself, someone said that she was seriously injured, but no one knew how serious it was. Practically nobody knew anything about her condition, but it was most probably very severe, or else it was impossible that even after half a year, there was still no news about her at all.
Su Muran and Lu Qin’s wedding was to be held once overseas, and once locally. The Lu family was a traditional family that had been around since a hundred years ago, naturally there had to be a traditional Chinese wedding.
“Boss, why are you reluctant to attend?” The security guard straightened Old Master Lu’s clothes. “By the way, isn’t your leg recovered already? Why do you still want to use a wheelchair?”
“I want to, can’t I?”
Old Master Lu threw him a cold look straightaway. He spoke bluntly so that the security guard would shut his mouth up.
Alright, if you want to, so be it. After all, it’s your grandchild’s wedding, not my grandchild’s wedding.
“Boss, take note of your facial expression, this is a happy event after all.”
Old Master Lu’s face remained cold. Why should I smile? After all, I’m not here to sell smiles.
“One more thing,” the security guard piped up as he thought of something. He picked up a box from the side and opened it carefully. It contained a beautiful teapot which seemed to be made of jade. Its looked smooth and translucent, as though one could see the patterns inside through the surface if there was a bright ray of light.
“Boss, this was gifted by Commander Lu, who said that this is to compensate for the one that was broken.”
Old Master Lu held it up quickly. “At least he still has some conscience! Is it a set?”
“Yes,” the security guard nodded. “It’s a set, a perfect tea set.”
Old Master Lu held the teapot in his arms, but after a while, he handed it back to the security guard, “Help me keep it somewhere safe. I’m afraid that I might break it due to my bad temper.”
The security guard took it over immediately. Actually, he too was afraid that it would be broken accidentally. However, he knew that the old chief had to hold something in his hand to feel secure, so after a quick thought, he took a drinking cup from the table and placed it in front of Old Master Lu.
“Boss, hold this, it doesn’t hurt even if you throw it at someone.”
“Yes, and I won’t feel heartbroken too,” Old Master Lu agreed as he picked it up. It truly would not hurt physically and mentally to throw it at someone.
This was just a normal cup. Although it was worth a few hundred yuan, but it would still be fine if Old Master Lu broke it. This was different from breaking his tea set. Old Master Lu had felt upset for so many days back then, so much so that he could not even eat.
Lu Qin’s Western wedding was so grand that everyone knew about it, but the Chinese wedding was different. Since Old Master Lu did not like reporters nor the media, so all the reporters were blocked outside. No one dared to enter recklessly.
The only member of the Lu family who attended was Old Master Lu. Lu Jin and his wife were still absent, which made the Su family feel a little unhappy.
“Old Lu, as an uncle, why didn’t Lu Jin show up? Isn’t this against tradition?” Su Qingdong did not like the Lu family’s contempt toward the Su family. They did not even bother to show up, was this not a sign of them looking down on the Su family?
Old Master Lu looked up at him.
“My grandchild has just passed away. What would you like them to wear here? Red, or black?”
Su Qingdong was rendered speechless. How could he forget about this? It was indeed inappropriate for Lu Jin and his wife to attend a wedding currently. After all, it had not even been a hundred days since Lu Yi’s death, so they were indeed not supposed to commit a taboo by showing up.
Old Master Lu drank the wine that his grandson and granddaughter-in-law toasted, and gave both of them a thick red packet. After that, his role in the event was pretty much over. After all, it was his grandson who was getting married, not him.
Old Master Lu asked the security guard to push him back. As it was crowded and noisy in there, with bright lights and too many colors around, he did not like it at all.
From today onwards, Su Muran was officially part of the Lu family, but Lu Jin would probably not accept it, and of course he would not like it.
“Grandfather, I have something to tell you.” Lu Qin purposely visited Old Master Lu two days after the wedding.
Old Master Lu put down the precious cup in his hands, and picked up a normal one.
The one that did not hurt physically and mentally when one was hit by it.
“What is it? Is something wrong?” Old Master Lu had never liked Lu Qin. Whenever he saw Lu Qin, he would think of his other grandchild. Maybe he was missing him, or grieving, or comparing others to his deceased grandchild while missing him. So, he tried to avoid as much contact as possible with Lu Qin. Nevertheless, he wondered why Lu Qin came to visit him.
One would not visit a temple for nothing, so he’s definitely not here just because he missed his grandfather.
Old Master Lu scoffed in his heart, of course he knew what Lu Qin was like. If there were nothing advantageous to be gained, he would not be here, unless he wanted to ask for something.
Lu Qin stepped forward, he was now very close to Old Master Lu. The security guard stepped forward as well, but Old Master Lu raised a hand, signaling him to stand aside.
“Tell me why you’re here.” Old Master Lu could not be bothered to beat around the bush, and of course he was not going to listen to nonsense as well. “Just tell me.”
By then, Lu Qin was already kneeling in front of Old Master Lu, raising his head up to look at him.
“Grandfather, since elder brother is gone, nobody is in charge of Linlang now. As a result, some troublesome things have happened there, which you must have known about too. It just happened that I’m involved in the entertainment industry, so is Muran. Therefore, I would like to take over Linlang. I believe that I will be able to lead Linlang to obtain even greater achievements.”
He was certain that Old Master Lu would agree. It did not matter that it was currently managed by Lu Jin, because Old Master Lu detested people who spent their days doing meaningless work. After all, Lu Jin was currently a mere chauffeur. Not to mention that he was once a soldier in charge of the army, so how could he be experienced enough to manage an entertainment company like this? As for Ye Shuyun, she was just a dispirited woman who had no clue about management in this field. She was even more unsuitable. So, Linlang would definitely be his in the end.
Of course, he also quite confident that Linlang belonged to the Lu family.
“Linlang?” Old Master Lu lowered his head to ask his deceitful grandson, who had come with ulterior motives. He really did come with a purpose, he wanted to snatch his assets.
“Yes, grandfather, Linlang.”
Lu Qin nodded. “The entertainment company that was once managed by cousin brother. Management issues had existed since then, and it is becoming even worse now. It is not unreasonable for me to take on the responsibility of rectifying these issues now, as even the land of Linlang Tower was given by my father-in-law.”
