Chapter 162 – You can call me by another name, Wu Yanzhu (3)

People were coming and going in the villa. The sounds of them voicing their congratulations never stopped. The old butler came in and whispered to Old Master Lu, “Sir, he’s back.”

It was only a few words, but Old Master Lu immediately stood up. In a low, excited voice, he asked, “That rascal is back?”

“Yes, he’s just outside the villa. He says he’s afraid of getting a beating from you, so he doesn’t dare to enter.”

Old Master Lu sneered, “So he has a little bit of self-awareness!”

The old butler knew that Old Master Lu was just saying that and didn’t mean those words. He smiled and didn’t try to persuade him.

After saying that, Old Master Lu sat back down and angrily said, “Beichuan, you go, go get your uncle! I’m definitely going to give him a beating!”

But there was no real anger on Old Master Lu’s face.

The heaviness on Lu Beichuan’s face had been swept away. There was even a faint trace of a smile that showed he was looking forward to seeing his uncle. “I’ll go right away.”

Old Master Lu’s angry voice had reached the side hall. Ye Zhen whispered to Mrs. Lu, “Mom, who’s here?”

Mrs. Lu quietly answered, “Beichuan’s uncle. You should go over there to see him too.”

Old Master Lu had married three times. Lu Shaoren had several half-siblings too. However, other than Lu Shaoren, he had only given recognition to one other son.

Lu Shaoren was the son that Old Master Lu had with his first wife, so he did have some affection and willingness to help him. As for the man that had just come here, this was the son that Old Master Lu had with his third wife, the wife that he truly loved.

Ye Zhen walked to Lu Beichuan’s side. Seeing that he was completely relaxed with anticipation in his gaze as he looked towards the front gate, she furrowed her brow. At this point in time, Lu Beichuan was still naive.

It didn’t take long for the old butler to lead the young man into the courtyard. The man looked quite youthful and didn’t seem to have experienced how society would grind one down. His expression looked simple, and his face looked sharp and clear-cut. When he smiled, he looked rakish and frivolous. He had the air of frivolity and disrespect. He looked to be around Lu Beichuan’s age. Perhaps, he was even a bit younger than Lu Beichuan. His every movement conveyed an aura of someone who had led a life of luxury.

However, Ye Zhen had seen his ruthless decisiveness and fierceness. He was a calm person that had experienced many things as well as a skillful trickster. He wasn’t inferior to Lu Beichuan at all.

In the novel, the reasons why Lu Beichuan had been defeated so badly was not just because of the male lead, Lin Zhan. The young man coming towards them had also contributed greatly to Lu Beichuan’s downfall. Lu Beichuan had fallen into a disadvantageous position not just because he trusted his uncle too much, but also because his uncle had hidden his scheming side deep enough. That was why Lu Beichuan had ended up facing that biggest crisis in the novel.

“That’s my uncle. He was kidnapped with me when I was a kid. He was the one that saved me.” Lu Beichuan gave this introduction before stepping forward to chat with his uncle.

Ye Zhen’s brow was tightly furrowed. She grabbed Lu Beichuan’s arm and whispered, “Are you sure… that he saved you from that kidnapping?”

Lu Beichuan didn’t understand the meaning of Ye Zhen’s words.

Ye Zhen continued to choose her words carefully in order to not appear as a woman that was trying to baselessly sow dissension without reason. “Haven’t you thought about how… the two of you were both children then… How could he have saved you?”

Lu Beichuan understood the meaning of Ye Zhen’s words. “Don’t worry, my uncle isn’t a bad person. At worst, he’s just a bit of a smoothtalker that won’t let people off easily when he’s offended. You’ll see for yourself once you get to know him. Let me introduce you to him.”

Right after saying that, Lu Beichuan felt as if he had just slapped himself in the face.

It was because he saw the person following behind his uncle, who he had said wasn’t a bad person. It was Lin Zhan.

Lu Beichuan slightly furrowed his brow and calmly and silently watched as Lin Zhan followed his uncle into their home.

Soon after, the old butler led the two people to Lu Beichuan. The young man’s first action wasn’t greeting Lu Beichuan. It was taking a sidelong glance at Ye Zhen.

“If I’m not guessing wrong, this must be your wife, right? His eyes slightly narrowed, and the smile on his face was very licentious. “This is our first time meeting each other. I’ll introduce myself first. I’m Lu Shaoyan. Shaoyan as in one that exercises caution. If you don’t like that name, you can call me by another name, Wu Yanzhu.”
