Chapter 1482: You Must Save Me
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the end, Su Bei became the deciding factor.
“Heting, Su Bei, the Huo family will really have to rely on you in the future. I know that my request is too rude. I used to feel guilty about Weijian and Huo Zhong, but now, I have to let them take on responsibilities that don’t belong to them. However, I have to leave these family businesses to them because only the two of them… are the grandchildren I truly love. I hope you can help me with everything in the future!” Old Master Huo pleaded.
If he left, the Huo family would be in chaos. Lu Weijian and Huo Zhong would probably find it difficult to manage the businesses if they were alone. The person Old Master Huo valued the most was still Lu Heting.
However, Lu Heting was not related to him.
!!
However, now that Lu Weijian had signed the paperwork, Old Master Huo knew that Lu Heting would not ignore the matter.
There was hope for the Huo family.
He stretched out his withered fingers. His ardent eyes were cloudy and dim, making it impossible to refuse.
When Lu Heting and Su Bei walked out, Lu Weijian and Huo Zhong also signed the doc.u.ments and walked out.
Huo Zhong was still shouting, “Anyway, Lu Weijian, you signed the papers first. Don’t rely on me to do all those things in the future. Handle those matters on your own.”
“Did I force you to sign the papers? Didn’t you agree to sign them too?”
The two of them argued until they saw Lu Heting and Su Bei.
Lu Weijian rushed over and said, “Brother, Sister Bei Bei, aren’t I very career-minded and responsible? Sister Bei Bei, do you think your fourth sister will like someone like me? Do you think I’m a good match for her?”
“You’re alright.” Su Bei looked him up and down and thought for a moment. “Fourth Sister has met too many men with career and responsibility. I don’t know what type of men she’ll choose.”
“Then can I be included in her list?”
Lu Heting answered on behalf of Su Bei, “I’ll think about it.”
“I only agreed because of what Sister Bei Bei said. Brother, you have to consider me! You have to!”
Lu Heting asked, “Did you really agree to Grandpa Huo because of that sentence?”
Lu Weijian felt a little guilty. Actually, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to manage the Huo family’s businesses.
It was just that he had been bullied and looked down on by the Huo family since he was young. For a long time, he had been thinking of impressing the Huo family one day.
He was the most qualified to take charge of the entire Huo family. However, he could not explain it to Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu.
Hence, he agreed not only because of Su Bei’s words but also because of the deepest impulse in his heart.
Thinking of the two elders of the Lu family, Lu Weijian jumped up. “Brother, what should I do? I’ve signed the papers. Will I be beaten to death by Grandpa and Grandma? You have to save me!”
“Alright, I’ll help you hide it from Grandpa and Grandma for the time being. They’ve already retired. As long as we keep everyone’s mouths shut, I’m sure we can hide it for at least a year and a half.”
“Yes, my brother treats me the best. But… my game company and Nirvana Entertainment, especially Nirvana Entertainment, have just started. I have to abandon them now. Why am I such a sc.u.mbag?” Lu Weijian beat his chest and stomped his feet in regret. If he wanted to manage the Huo family’s businesses, he would definitely not be able to manage the game company and Nirvana Entertainment.
His eyes lit up as he grabbed Su Bei’s hand. “Sister Bei Bei, can I entrust these two companies to you? They’re my life’s work. I’m really worried about leaving them to others. Only you’re most suitable to manage them. Only you can lead them to glory again! Sister Bei Bei, you can’t just leave them in the lurch…”
Su Bei glanced at Lu Heting and nodded in agreement. “Okay, I can help you manage them for the time being. But when you can free up your hands in the future, you have to take them back.”
“Of course, of course. These two companies are my biological sons. How can a father not want his sons?”
Huo Zhong took out his phone and said, “Su Bei, what about sparring with me?”
Lu Heting looked at him deeply. “Are you sure you agreed to sign the paperwork because of Su Bei?”
Huo Zhong felt a little guilty under his gaze. Who wouldn’t want the huge a.s.sets of the Huo family? However, like Lu Weijian, he loved and hated the Huo family. His feelings were complicated. Without any opportunity, he couldn’t make up his mind to take over.
Su Bei’s words only gave them a way out.
“I’ve already signed them anyway. Su Bei should spar with me. One should never go back on one’s word!” Huo Zhong snorted.
Lu Weijian took the lead and stopped him. “You want to challenge my Sister Bei Bei? Why don’t you get past me first?”
“You?” Huo Zhong squinted at him. “I don’t even like you! How dare a n.o.body challenge me?”
“I’m a n.o.body? Have you heard of Team JJ? Do you know the reputation of the Invincible Swordsman?”
Su Bei looked at the two people in front of her and could not help but laugh. She looked at Lu Heting helplessly. These two people were older than Da Bao, but their minds were not even one-tenth as mature as Da Bao’s.
Lu Heting held Su Bei’s hand and walked straight out, ignoring the two of them.
The four of them were about to leave when the butler rushed over and said with a pained expression, “Mr. Lu, Mr. Weijian, Mr. Zhong, Miss Su, Old Master… He’s gone!”
Lu Weijian’s and Huo Zhong’s hands stopped in midair, and their expressions cracked.
Both of them were abandoned by the Huo family and hurt by their father, but deep down, they knew that they were also truly loved by their grandfather.
Lu Heting would take Lu Weijian to the park while avoiding Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu. He would meet Old Master Huo and receive his birthday gift. One time, he even received a little puppy.
When Huo Zhong was in the United States, he would also receive pocket money and a large pile of food from Old Master Huo.
His love came a little late, but it was not nonexistent.
Lu Weijian calmed down and said to the butler, “Arrange for a funeral!”
“Yes, Mr. Weijian,” the butler said. “I’ll do it now.”
After saying that, he walked up to Lu Heting and Su Bei and said, “Old Master Lu died very peacefully and was very gratified. On behalf of Old Master Lu and the entire Huo family, I thank Mr. Lu and Miss Su.”
“My condolences,” Lu Heting said in a low voice.
Su Bei also said softly, “My condolences.”
The two of them looked at each other and knew that no matter what the reason was, they could not ignore the Huo family’s matters in the future.
Lu Weijian and Huo Zhong followed the butler into Old Master Huo’s room. They were about to make arrangements for the funeral.
No matter how childish a person was, they would have to learn to grow up at a moment like this.
Old Master Lu soon received the news of Old Master Huo’s death.
