Chapter 615: You Angered Father and Don’t Tell Me You Are In the Right Now?
Lu Jingye had the same thoughts. “I agree with what Father said, Yiyi and I will head over to our Grandfather’s place tomorrow morning. We’ll immediately set off after we return tomorrow.”
Mrs. Lu understood her husband and son’s personalities. She knew that no one could stop them when they were serious and she turned to look at Zi Yi.
Zi Yi nodded her head and said, “We’ll come back earlier tomorrow. It’ll be fine if we leave earlier.”
Mrs. Lu did not say anything else.
Lu Jianlin still had to make a trip back to the main residence and the two of them left very soon afterwards.
When they left, Zi Yi and Lu Jingye returned to their bedrooms to rest.
They were exhausted today and they fell asleep very soon.
When Lu Jianlin sent Mrs. Lu back home, he left for the main residence.
Just as he entered Patriarch Lu’s courtyard, the housekeeper standing by the door said in a loud voice, “Sir, the Second Master is here.”
Lu Jianlin walked in and a teacup flew in his direction.
Lu Jianlin subconsciously tilted to the side and the teacup flew past his shoulders and crashed on the door.
BAM!
PA!
While the teacup was smashed into pieces, Lu Jianlin called out without a change in expression. “Father.”
Patriarch Lu was engulfed in anger as he pointed at his nose. “Do you still know that I’m your Father?”
Lu Jianlin’s expression was serious. “Father, not only did you stop the Lu Family members from attending Jingye’s wedding today, you even wanted to make me leave halfway. I can’t do it.”
Lu Jianlin could heed his Father’s wishes in everything, with the exception of this. “Little Zi is a good child and it is Jingye’s blessing to be able to marry her. I can’t possibly make things difficult for them at their wedding.”
Patriarch Lu was so angry that his chest heaved up and down and his gaze turned fierce. “Our Lu Family is not to marry a useless scholar!”
“Useless? Third Brother is still recovering from the injuries he received at the Southern Ocean. Could it be that Father has forgotten that if not for Zi Yi’s timely arrival, it would not be the hospital that Third Brother would be in right now.”
“You-”
Patriarch Lu’s breathing hastened and his expression seemed extremely frightening.
The housekeeper who was standing next to him hastily rushed over to calm him down. “Sir, calm down. It would be bad if your health worsened.”
Lu Jianlin could not possibly really anger his Father to the extreme and so, he shut his mouth and remained silent.
After Patriarch Lu calmed down, he laughed in anger. “Just a little small kindness and you feel that scholars are all that great? Don’t forget that I had almost died in the hands of that group of scholars back then!”
Lu Jianlin furrowed his brows. “Father, that was what happened in the past. We are now in a prosperous time of peace. The military defends the country while the scholars strengthen the country.”
“Are you teaching your Father how to do things?”
“I’m just speaking the truth. We are now in an era where science and technology strengthen the country. Little Zi is extremely talented in this field and even the higher-ups acknowledge her abilities. Father, why can’t you accept her?”
Patriarch Lu did not expect that his son would dare to contradict him as such.
The anger in his heart was like a wild horse without its reins. He got so furious that he yelled at him, “She’s someone who has a bad reputation, and what kind of soul-bewitching soup did she feed all of you for you to side with her? I’ve said it before, I will never acknowledge her!”
Lu Jianlin’s string of control snapped too. “Jingye and Little Zi have gotten married and received their marriage certificate. Father, it doesn’t matter even if you do now agree to their marriage, as long as the country acknowledges it that will do.”
“You-… you!”
“Sir!”
Looking at Patriarch Lu who was about to faint from anger, the housekeeper hastily stroked his back.
For the first time in his life, Lu Jianlin felt that his father was unreasonable. He did not wish to have a meaningless argument with him and said, “Father, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
He turned around with the intention to leave.
Patriarch Lu looked at Lu Jianlin’s back view and felt his anger rus.h.i.+ng up his head. He stood up and tried grabbing onto something to throw towards Lu Jianlin. However, his eyes went black and he directly lost consciousness.
BAM!
“Sir!”
Lu Jianlin heard a frightened cry and he suddenly turned around and rushed over.
“Father!”
The Lu Family was suddenly in chaos. The moment Patriarch Lu fainted, everyone was immediately alerted.
During the chaos, they had called the family doctor over.
After the doctor gave Patriarch Lu a checkup, he said to everyone, “Patriarch Lu fainted due to anger and I have also discovered that his health is extremely bad. There are several organs that are rapidly failing.”
At the doctor’s word, the Eldest Master hastily asked. “What do you mean? Hasn’t father’s health always been good?”
The family doctor was silent for a few seconds before he said, “It might be because he has been angry these past few days and coupled with how he was unable to breathe properly today, it has accelerated the weakening of his physical condition.”
Eldest Master Lu’s expression changed and he lashed out. “Then find a way to stop the weakening!”
“This…” The family doctor’s expression looked heavy. “Eldest Master, if the Patriarch is constantly in a bad mood, I have no way to deal with it either.”
Eldest Master Lu suddenly turned to Lu Jianlin and he gnashed his teeth. “Second Brother, did you hear that?”
Lu Jianlin’s expression was not good either.
Eldest Master Lu walked towards Lu Jianlin and raised his hand to give him a punch as he angrily said, “If not because of you who angered Father, he would not have fainted!”
Lu Jianlin wiped the blood on his lips and looked at his older brother. “What did I say? Isn’t it because you and your family had gossiped in front of Father which made him so angry?”
For Patriarch Lu to know what happened today, his eldest son had indeed said something. However, he would certainly not admit what he did and he angrily shouted, “You angered Father and don’t tell me you’re in the right now?”
“You blocked your nephew outside the gates and do you know what the internet is saying about our Lu Family?” He had looked through numerous posts today and all of them said that it’s the Lu Family who disliked Zi Yi, thus they had blocked the Lu Family members outside the wedding banquet.
Not to mention Patriarch Lu was angry, he himself was the same.
Lu Jiancheng had never been so embarra.s.sed in his whole life.
The Second Master Lu heard him and laughed out of spite. “Isn’t it a fact that the Lu Family dislikes Zi Yi?”
“You-” Eldest Master Lu was guilty and he showed an expression as if he did not wish to argue with him on this. “Father is already in such a state and you’re still in the mood to argue about such insignificant things? Do you know what difficulties our Lu Family will face if Father falls down?”
The eight aristocratic families were built up by the older generation. The higher-ups had given them face on the account of their parents and if the older generation of either aristocratic family were to fall sick or depart from the world, the family can only wait for their decline if no outstanding individual stood out.
Even though the Lu Family’s three siblings were capable, if their Father really pa.s.sed away, coupled with the current situation in the Lu Group, their position as the top aristocratic family will certainly be replaced.
Lu Jianlin’s expression was gloomy and he did not answer.
If his Father had been tolerant and more accommodating, their family would not have ended up in such a situation.
At the thought of this, Lu Jianlin’s eyes turned red. “Do you think we are willing to see Father in such a state? Jingye merely wants to be with someone he likes. With how capable Zi Yi is, aren’t you well aware of it at the place you work?”
Eldest Master Lu remained silent.
Sometime later, he said, “Even if Little Zi is capable, it’s useless if our Father dislikes her. Don’t tell me you really wish for an accident to happen because of the two young people?”
Eldest Master Lu patted Lu Jianlin’s shoulder and said earnestly, “Second Brother, for the sake of Father, the young ones can only sacrifice what needs to be sacrificed.”
