803 The Frightening Truth
“I… didn’t mean it that way.” Lu Nuannuan’s mind went blank. She shook her head and muttered, “I don’t know. I don’t know about this…”
“There are still many things you don’t know. Do you think your parents are innocent?” Shen Hanxing’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Go back and ask them how they got the Lu Corporation. Don’t tell me that after controlling the Lu Corporation for some time, they think it is something they should inherit?”
What did that mean? Didn’t her parents own the Lu Corporation? “What do you mean by that?” Lu Nuannuan’s body was trembling. She was subconsciously afraid, even afraid of the truth. She said with difficulty, “My father is the eldest son. Isn’t it his duty to inherit the Lu Corporation? My father and uncle are very close. When my brother married, my uncle even gave him a bank card…”
As she spoke, Lu Nuannuan pursed her dry lips. She recalled that many people said her uncle was a talented businessman when he was young. Before her brother got married, her uncle, Lu Feng, came to deliver a bank card, and the family had an argument because of it. Her parents’ expressions were scary, and the atmosphere between her father and uncle was always strange. She hated her uncle when she was young. She thought that the way he looked at her was complicated and weird, a little scary, and his attitude was bad. All the details that Lu Nuannuan had forgotten and neglected in the past came pouring out. Lu Nuannuan took two steps back, unable to take it.
The Lu family’s old master only had two sons. If Lu Nuannuan’s father, Lu Guo, had used underhanded methods to obtain the Lu Corporation, then the victim would only be her uncle, Lu Feng.
“Mr. Lu Feng isn’t young anymore, but he had always been alone. Isn’t that strange?” Seeing Lu Nuannuan’s expression, Shen Hanxing knew she had guessed something. She asked calmly, “do you know what happened to Lu Feng’s wife and daughter?”
“Didn’t they die in a fire? An accidental fire killed my second aunt and cousin. That’s why my uncle couldn’t recover from the pain of losing them,” Lu Nuannuan said with difficulty. That was a taboo topic in the Lu family. Lu Nuannuan had always thought that her parents were afraid that uncle Lu Feng would be sad if he heard this. Now that she thought about it, her father’s relationship with her uncle was so distant, so how could he care about her uncle’s feelings? If her father cared about her uncle, he wouldn’t have disrespected him in front of everyone. He would scold him whenever he wanted and didn’t hide his sense of superiority. Lu Nuannuan didn’t dare to think further.
“How could it be so coincidental that your second aunt and the child got into trouble just before your grandfather decided on the heir?” Shen Hanxing’s lips curled up slightly, and her eyes were cold. “Since they decided to do something bad, they should be prepared to bear the consequences.” Lu Guo could be said to be unscrupulous for the sake of inheritance. Lu Fang’s daughter’s one-month-old party was also her death anniversary. Such a small baby didn’t even have time to see the world properly before a fire took her life away.
Lu Nuannuan was in a daze. She had not expected to be so shocked when she came to look for Shen Hanxing. It was as if her parents, brother, and sister-in-law had all become strangers instantly, so unfamiliar that she was afraid.
“You see, they only have themselves to blame for this. Since you’ve enjoyed the Lu family’s wealth for more than ten years, you can return it now. It’s not like we’re implicating the innocent,” Shen Hanxing said, spreading her hands. It was true that Lu Nuannuan had not done anything, but everything she had enjoyed was the fruit of sin. After she finished speaking, Shen Hanxing prepared to leave. She had no responsibility to enlighten Lu Nuannuan.
Seeing that Shen Hanxing was about to leave, Lu Nuannuan called out anxiously, “But my parents didn’t hurt you, did they? What happened in the past has nothing to do with you. Can’t you please show my family mercy just for me?” She still had hope in her heart and said in a low voice, “my brother and sister-in-law have already been taught a lesson. After all, nothing happened to you. Do you still have to be so ruthless?” Her face was very red, and it was hard to tell if it was from shame or anger. She dared not look at Shen Hanxing, and her eyelashes fluttered uneasily.
Shen Hanxing’s gaze was completely ice-cold, without a trace of warmth. “For your sake? Miss Lu Nuannuan, do you think you’re important to me?” She found it funny, so she smiled. She stepped forward and asked, “Why should I do that? Just because you’ve cursed at me several times and spoken rudely to me, or because you wanted to harm me on the cruise ship, but I saved you?”
