815 Fear
Lu Shaoyang’s voice was gentle as he said with his head lowered, “Shen Hanxing has ruined our family. How can I still miss her? I hate her therefore I lost control. Su Ling, you have to believe me. After everything we’ve been through, you are the only woman I love.” His gaze was loving and affectionate.
Su Ling raised her head and looked at Lu Shaoyang. Convinced that he didn’t look like he was lying, she felt better and looked away. Whether it was Lu Guo and Mrs. Lu’s vicious words, Lu Shaoyang and Su Ling’s insinuations, or Lu Nuannuan’s complicated gaze, none of them fazed Shen Hanxing, who had just walked in.
“Mrs. Ji, please have a seat.” Lu Feng walked in casually like he owned the place. He cleaned up the messy sofa, took off his jacket and covered the mess before he bent down like a gentleman and smiled at Shen Hanxing. “I’m sorry. My elder brother and sister-in-law are aloof people. They never have guests. Please forgive them.”
“Lu Feng!” If there was anything that Lu Guo could not tolerate in his life, it would be being ridiculed and contradicted by his younger brother, Lu Feng! He jumped up as if someone had stepped on his tail and roared, “You b*stard, who are you to tell me what to do?”
Lu Feng turned a deaf ear to Lu Guo while Shen Hanxing remain unfazed. She was wearing a pale yellow maxi dress today. The silk fabric clung to her perfect figure and accentuate her fair skin. When she walked, the high slit on the dress revealed her long and milky legs. She wore shoulder duster earrings that fell to her exquisite collarbone, which added a touch of sophistication to her appearance. She sat down elegantly, supported her chin with her slender fingers and said with a cold smile, “Continue.”
Shen Hanxing was clearly sitting on a messy sofa splattered with tea but she looked like a queen sitting on a throne, high and mighty, totally incongruent with her environment.
Seeing Shen Hanxing take her seat, Lu Feng smiled, stood up straight and adjusted his tie. Lu Guo sensed Lu Feng’s unusual behavior today and suddenly felt like he was suffocating, like a rooster whose neck was being strangled. He could not speak, and he looked scared.
Over the years, Lu Guo had gotten used to Lu Feng’s apathetic behavior. He was oblivious to everything and just live listlessly day by day. It was as if his soul had died the day he lost his wife and daughter. All that was left of him was an empty shell that lived only on instinct. Only now did Lu Guo realize that his younger brother, Lu Feng, who was once touted as the chosen one, the business genius, was back. He spotted a smart haircut and there wasn’t a single crease on his suit that he accessorized with a matching tie. His turbid eyes regained their luster, as if he had traveled back more than twenty years in time. His once invisible younger brother was now back with a halo around his head.
“Lu Feng, the Lu Corporation is gone. It’s gone!” Lu Guo laughed maniacally as though he had list his mind. “The Lu Corporation that will always be mine and never yours. Hahaha! You will never inherit Lu Corporation in your lifetime, you piece of trash! A piece of trash who only cared about love!”
Lu Feng’s eyes were sympathetic when he saw Lu Guo like this. He said slowly, “Do you think I care about the Lu Corporation?”
“How is that possible?” Lu Guo’s face was twisted as he continued, “Do you think I don’t know that the old master wanted to pass the Lu Corporation to you? Only in your dreams! I’m his eldest son. Why should he give the company to you? Since he didn’t want to give the company to me, I’ll destroy you!”
He laughed maniacally again before he continued, “I want the old man to see clearly that his so-called genius son, his pride and joy, is nothing but a good-for-nothing.”
“So, in order to get the Lu Corporation, you paid someone to set fire to my wife and daughter when I wasn’t around?” Lu Feng’s expression finally changed. His eyes were red with grief as he suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Lu Guo’s collar. “Lu Guo, what kind of monster are you? You will resort to murder just to get what you want?”
