Chapter 193: Chapter 194: Why Can’t Things Be Completely Fair?
In the Lu Family’s old house, Old Master Lu sat upright on the sofa, his solemn face exuding an aura of authority.
Ji Qing and Lu Jingwei supported Lu Qing An as they sat down on the sofa, and Lu Jingchen rushed back upon receiving Housekeeper Li’s call.
Standing beside Old Master Lu were Housekeeper Li and the company’s legal advisor, Zhang Zhen, which made Lu Qing An feel a bit apprehensive.
"Grandfather, what urgent matter requires my immediate return?"
Lu Jingchen reeked of alcohol. He casually unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt collar and took a large sip of water from the coffee table.
Old Master Lu glanced at the people on the sofa, his deep, resonant voice echoing throughout the living room: "From this moment on, our Lu Family is severing all ties with you, and I will also cut off the father-son relationship with this scoundrel, Lu Qing An."
At these words, everyone was dumbfounded.
Cut off the father-son relationship?
Does that mean Lu Group will have nothing to do with them anymore?
"Dad, you’re confused. I’m your son." Lu Qing An’s face turned pale inch by inch.
"From the moment you harbored ill intentions against your elder brother and sister-in-law, you were no longer a descendant of our Lu Family. Not a penny of Lu Group’s money will go to you."
Old Master Lu spoke with resoluteness, without a trace of ambiguity.
Lu Jingchen’s expression froze, then he sat down next to Old Master Lu ingratiatingly: "Grandfather, I am your grandson. You can’t leave everything to my elder brother; you have to give me some share too."
Old Master Lu looked at Lu Jingchen’s incompetent demeanor, his face turning livid with anger: "What have you done for Lu Group? All you know is indulgence in pleasure and causing trouble. If Lu Group was given to you, it would be ruined in no time!"
"Dad, Qing An made a mistake, we accept whatever punishment you give him, but Jingchen and Jingwei did nothing wrong. They are both your grandchildren, how can you not treat them equally?"
Ji Qing shouted and cried, throwing a tantrum like a commoner causing a scene in the street.
Old Master Lu thunderously slammed the table: "Jing Han has sacrificed so much for the company, and what has your wastrel son done? I am determined to hand Lu Group over to Jing Han."
Ji Qing’s eyes reddened, and she sprang up from the sofa: "I disagree, Lu Group must include shares for our Jingchen and Jingwei."
Lu Jingwei, thinking that she might no longer be able to squander money freely, burst into tears as if they were free: "Grandfather, I am your biological granddaughter. You can’t treat me and my brother this way. How will we live without money in the future?"
Old Master Lu completely ignored their crying and commotion, signaling Lawyer Zhang to take out the documents.
Understanding his cue, Lawyer Zhang took the transfer documents out of his briefcase, cleared his throat, and began: "According to Old Master Lu’s wishes, Lu Group and all its personal and real estate assets have now been transferred to Lu Jinghan’s name. Furthermore, it declares the severance of the father-son relationship with Lu Qing An and the removal of all his positions in Lu Group."
Old Master Lu’s name was penned on the document in black and white, legally binding.
After a few seconds of silence in the living room, chaos erupted with cries and wails.
Old Master Lu ignored them as well, instructing Housekeeper Li to help him upstairs before saying: "All of you should move out today, do not stay here anymore."
Old Master Lu was truly heartbroken, and thinking of them as the murderers of his son and daughter-in-law made his heart ache immensely.
