Silence.
Lu Shaoyan had always been prideful of being cool-headed but the words b*stard child" made him lose his calm.
Old Master Lu looked at him with deep sorrow. "How can you think that? The way Dad has treated you during these past years, how can you not see how much Dad cares about you?"
"Care?" Lu Shaoyan seemed to have heard something hilarious. "If you really care, why didn't you go look for her?"
At the mention of what happened back then, Old Master Lu was regretful, but it was too late for regrets.
He had married three times. His first wife came from a family that matched his family in social status. He had married her solely to consolidate his position in the Lu family. The support of that woman's family was enough for him to become the successor of the Lu family.
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for his first wife to die while giving birth.
He had feelings for his second wife. Just like this first wife, she came from a family that shouldn't be underestimated. However, she died five years after their marriage due to an illness.
By the time he met his third wife, he had full control of the Lu family.
At the time, it was rumored that he was cursed when it came to marriage, and anyone that married him would die. There wasn't any woman from a prestigious family who dared to marry him, and he wasn't interested in marrying a woman from an ordinary family.
The woman that would become his third wife was called Gu Yu. The first time he met her, she said the You in her name meant outstanding and that she would become Lu Corporation's most outstanding employee.
There was a 19 year difference between him and Gu You.
Familiarity bred fondness, and by that time, he had the freedom to choose his partner.
Soon after, Lu Shaoyan was born.
He and Gu You lived happily together for over 10 years.
At this moment, due to Lu Shaoyan's question, Old Master Lu couldn't raise his head. He had no way to explain.
"You say that you love her, but your love is so cheap. You let her go abroad with the reputation of cheating on you, and I became a b*stard child. Do you realize how cold-hearted that was?"
Old Master Lu tightly clenched his hands. The past flashed through his mind.
Gu You had been caught red-handed committing adultery, and a paternity test revealed that Lu Shaoyan wasn't his son. At the time, he was blinded by anger. After hearing the so-called evidence from his subordinates, he couldn't accept that the person who shared a bed with him would harbor evil intentions and was disloyal. His beloved son turned out to not be his son.
"So what if you found out later that she was framed by the person closest to you? She's not willing to come back to this land that has you for the rest of her life. Do you know that she hates you? She doesn't want to see you. She doesn't want to hear your name or anything about you! She was the one that told me to come back. I knew that you had cancer a long time ago. I saw your symptoms, but so what? Anyways, you'll die sooner or later. Rather than staying on a hospital bed for a few years and being tormented by medical devices, it's better to live out your last few months comfortably!" Lu Shaoyan breathed heavily. "But even so, you won't hand over Lu Corporation to me before you die. Instead, you just gave me the real estate under your name."
"What use do I have for that money?" Lu Shaoyan looked at him in surprise and suddenly became irritable. "What I want is Lu Corporation. I want to see you lose everything that you cherish!"
Old Master Lu looked at Lu Shaoyan in silence. He quietly listened to him and met his eyes.
Lu Shaoyan was panting. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the window. In that moment, his tone fell. He sounded calmer, or more accurately, he was murmuring, "So what if you gave her all of your overseas assets? She won't want it. You didn't go look for her then, so why are you bothering her now?"
Old Master Lu clenched his hands. He tried to stabilize his emotions, but his hands were still violently shaking. His body felt uncomfortable somewhere, and he was sweating. He usually held his head high, but right now it was lowered. With great difficulty, he asked, "Does your mom hate me?"
"Do you need to ask?" Lu Shaoyan turned to look at him coldly. "You didn't believe in her and threw her dignity into the trash. You forcibly sent her abroad. You're afraid that she'll lose your face if she stayed in the country?"
