“Give it!”
Lu Mingzhen’s mind buzzed with anger: “Even if she really asks for ten billion, I’ll give it! The Lu family can afford this amount, you originally owed her, you can’t explain to her grandmother, if not coming up with more money then what?”
“This is life-saving money, do you understand or not! If you manage the relationships well, if anyone in the family later is chronically ill or has any hidden diseases, they can all come here for treatment and to save lives! Qiao Yin likes money, isn’t that just right? The Lu family has plenty of money, give her enough to satisfy her, and the next time someone comes for treatment, her grandmother will be more dedicated!”
“Qiao Yin married into the Lu family, of course she’s after money, of course she’s after wealth and glory, otherwise, what else? After you? What do you have? No brains, no breadth of mind, you wear a cold face all day long, not even a smile, you don’t know how to talk, like a dumb, you are far from your elder brother!”
Lu Lingche got a scolding from his own father, he wanted to retort with a cold face, but he just couldn’t utter a word.
He stood on the grass outside the medical clinic, looking at Lu Mingzhen.
For the first time, he realized that his father was able to support the Lu family, to support the massive business empire of the family, not by luck, but by strength, by a callous and rational heart.
He believed that if Qiao Yin really demanded ten billion, his father would really give her the money, as he said.
He always thought he was cold and ruthless enough, but now he realized that he was not.
At least, he really did not regard his marriage to Qiao Yin as a transaction, he did not think this could be measured by money.
But his father thought it could be and even took it for granted.
He didn’t know how long passed before he finally asked, “When you married my mom, was she also after the Lu family’s money? Then what were you after?”
Lu Mingzhen looked at him as if he was an idiot: “Nonsense, wouldn’t she marry me if she didn’t want money? Your second uncle also chased her, why didn’t she marry your second uncle? Your second uncle is younger than me, and he knows how to please girls! Before she met me, your mom had a childhood sweetheart who grew up with her, as soon as she knew I would inherit the family business, she soon broke up with that guy and then became pregnant with my child.”
“At that time your grandfather was already in poor health, he said he wanted to see his grandson, I agreed, and then your mother married into the house, later she gave birth to your elder brother, the old man was very pleased, he handed over all the family property to me, he said I was very dynamic and ambitious, he was relieved to leave the family to me.”
“Despite your mother’s frequent troubles now, she used to be the most gentle and considerate, she came from a good family, she was knowledgeable, she had the grace of a young lady, she knew what to do and what not to do, both at home and outside. However, she changed after your elder brother’s death, she became less and less like herself, the incident affected her too much.”
Lu Lingche had never heard him talk about these things before, the father and son basically were at odds whenever they saw each other, they rarely had a good chat, his father always talked about these things with his elder brother.
As Lu Mingzhen spoke, he couldn’t help but frown: “Don’t tell me you’re hoping your marriage will be based on some elusive love? Can’t you use your brain! For our kind of family, the least needed thing is that! Men should prioritize family honor and family business, as for women, just one who can take care of the house is enough, nothing else is needed! Especially not love!”
Lu Lingche gave him a glance: “When did I say I want love? Will I do such a stupid thing? Do you need to remind me?”
“If not, then it’s best.”
Lu Mingzhen’s wrinkled brows relaxed: “I never taught you these things before, let you grow up casually, because I didn’t want you to inherit the family business, it didn’t matter if you pursued love. I taught all of these things to your elder brother, but now that he’s gone, I need to teach you these things again..”
