Chapter 319 – From beginning to end, he hadn’t done anything wrong! (2)

The hallway was full of sad-looking people that were stretching their heads to peer into the hospital room. After a group of eldery people had discussed for a while in a corner, their representative went forward and walked to Lu Beichuan.

“Beichuan ah, I watched you grow up, so I won’t skirt around the issue with you.” Holding a cane, the old man had the mannerism of an older generation talking to the younger generation. “Old Master has been in poor health for a while. If he can hold on, then of course it’s a good thing, but you heard the doctor. His situation isn’t optimistic. What has to be prepared should be prepared now. Your Old Master’s grandson, no one can go over you.”

No clues could be seen on Lu Beichuan’s face. He only respectfully said, “Fourth Great-uncle, Grandpa still has a son. How can I get over my little uncle?”

“Little uncle?” Fourth Great-uncle sneered. He lowered his voice. “Back then, Lu Shaoyan and his mother were driven out by Old Master. Although the reason wasn’t publicly spoken of, everyone knew the reason. Later on, Old Master said that an investigation proved that it was all a misunderstanding. The way I see it, whether it was a misunderstanding or not is a separate issue. So many years had passed since the incident. Old Master has gotten old. It’s human nature to remember old relationships when one gets old. That’s why he called Lu Shaoyan back. Let’s talk about that. Lu Shaoyan has been living abroad for over 10 years, but he never came to do his filial piety to Old Master in those years. After he came back, he coaxed Old Master to give him all the real estate under his name as well as his overseas investments. The overseas investments are worth a lot of money. That woman stopped being Old Master’s wife a long time ago. What right does she have to take our Lu family’s overseas assets?”

Fourth Great-uncle was Old Master Lu’s younger brother. Under the protection of his older brother, he had lived like a prince in the past years.

“Beichuan, these aren’t my words. Others feel that Old Master is biased sometimes. Who doesn’t know that you single-handedly propped up the Lu family? Without you, how can there be the present Lu family?! Lu Shaoyan and his mother have been living abroad for many years. What has he done? He’s done nothing. He just came back for two years and made Old Master happy with his company. For that, he coaxed Old Master to give him the majority of his assets. He doesn’t deserve that!”

Lu Beichuan’s expression couldn’t be deciphered. “Whatever you want to say, just say it.”

Fourth Great-uncle lowered his voice and continued, “Old Master is being muddled-head. We can’t be muddled-headed with him. How can Lu Shaoyan take away the family assets? He has to give you at least half of it. Don’t you agree?”

Lu Beichuan understood. “You think Grandpa distributed his assets unevenly?”

Fourth Great-uncle sighed. “He’s gotten old. It’s inevitable that he’s gotten muddled-headed. Still, seeing his current condition, we shouldn’t do anything to stimulate him. Take good care of him. Whatever has to be done, we can wait until later to talk about it.”

Lu Beichuan didn’t directly answer and only lightly said, “Fourth Great-uncle, logically speaking, Grandpa, you, and little uncle are all my elders. I really don’t have the right to cut into the business of my elders.”

“You…”

“Beichuan.” Ye Zhen walked over from the end of the hallway. She held Lu Beichuan’s hand and looked at the eldery man. “Fourth Great-uncle, excuse me. I have to discuss something urgent with Beichuan.”

Fourth Great-uncle didn’t say any more. He nodded and walked to the side.
