Chapter 78 – You don’t need to wear high heels on our wedding day. I prepared flats for you (1)
The news that the Lu family was preparing for a wedding spread like wildfire.
A starved camel is still bigger than a healthy horse. Although the current Lu family wasn’t as impressive as its previous self a year ago before it had met with many setbacks, it had solid foundations and was still magnificent.
The timing of this wedding also came at a good time.
The news of Lu Shaoren’s imprisonment had caused the Lu family’s company’s stock to plummet as well as causing widespread panic amongst the company’s employees. Companies that they had previously collaborated with were indifferently watching from the sidelines.
But then, there was news that Lu family’s successor, who had been in a coma for a year, was getting married. This piece of news utterly overwhelmed the news of Lu Shaoren’s imprisonment.
At the same time, it eased the worries of side parties.
For the Lu family to still be in the mood for a wedding when Lu Shaoren had been imprisoned, it meant that the rumors were false. Otherwise, how could Old Master Lu and Lu Beichuan remain so calm instead of deeply troubled when their immediate family member was supposedly involved in a big criminal case.

Police station.
Lu Beichuan brought a lawyer along to see Lu Shaoren.
At this time, Lu Shaoren was wearing a prison uniform, and his appearance looked ragged and exhausted. As soon as he saw Lu Beichuan and the lawyer that he had brought along walking over here, he shouted to them as if he was grasping at his last straw. “Beichuan! I was framed! Get me the best lawyer!”
Lu Beichuan expressionlessly looked at him before meaningfully looking at the lawyer by his side.
The lawyer took out a pile of documents from his bag, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Lu Shaoren.
Lu Shaoren didn’t accept the documents or look at them. He instinctively felt that this wasn’t something good.
“What is this?”
Lu Beichuan didn’t say anything.
The lawyer explained for him, “This is evidence of your tax evasion and illegal transfer of assets during the past year. The last page is for you to sign to unconditionally transfer your share of the company stocks.”
Lu Shaoren stared at Lu Beichuan. “What do you mean by this?”
Lu Shaoren had rarely fulfilled his duties as a father. He had basically done nothing to educate Lu Beichuan on right or wrong as he was growing up. Thus, it went without saying that the father and son relationship between these two was nonexistent.
In the past years, Lu Shaoren had enjoyed himself and spread his wild oats. Who knows how many illegitimate children he had fathered? Before the accident, Lu Beichuan had turned a blind eye to Lu Shaoren’s misdeeds. They were like two strangers. But after his car accident, Lu Beichuan realized it wasn’t enough to turn a blind eye. The greed that could dwelled in the human heart would always be shocking.
“Return the assets that you took from the Lu family, and I’ll plea with the judge for leniency.”
“Plea for leniency? You think I’m responsible for the car accident too?”
“The electrice monitoring evidence I gave to the police is conclusive.”
Lu Shaoren slammed his chuffed hands against the table. He glared at Lu Beichuan. “I’m your dad. How dare you...”
Lu Beichuan coldly swept his gaze over him. “Did you think of me as your son when you hired an assassin to kill me? Since you don’t treat me as your son, why should I treat you as my father? You have plenty of other sons, so you don’t need to care about me. Even though I only have you as my father, it was the same as not having a father, so why wouldn’t I dare to do this?”
