Chapter 189: 189: What did she do?
However, Master Lu was acting like a cotton and continued speaking emotionlessly.
“What’s the difference between the orphans out there and Lu Xuan? The only difference is that they have different parents from him, but they are still the next generation of our country. Why don’t you take all of them in as your children and care for them as well? As the old saying goes—Honor the elderly and the young in other families as we honor those in our own. When you decide to treat all those orphans as your own children, that’s when I will treat Lu Xuan as my grandson.”
Then, he turned to Yang Yue and said, “Previously, when you decided to dissolve the marriage contract with Jinian, I already told you that I will not care about you or anything that happens to you from that day onwards. Lu Xuan is only a child that has been living in my house. However, he insisted on telling everyone that he is the Young Master of the Lu family, even mentioning that he is the future heir of the Lu family.
“I don’t care about what he wants to do, and I don’t care about him. For someone who doesn’t even have a genealogy, is now in jail, and may even be the person who wanted to harm my grandson, you should be grateful that I’m not taking the chance to ruin him further.
“You want me to save him? That’s impossible. Don’t your family have some sort of connection as well? Since you love him so much, you should be asking for help from your family after discussing with them, just to see if they could get him out of jail. You shouldn’t expect any help from me.”
Yang Yue’s face turned ghastly pale as she heard Master Lu saying the cruelest words in the calmest tone. She could feel the blood in her body freeze.
What… has she done previously?
Why did she dissolve the marriage contract with Lu Jinian, deciding to be with Lu Xuan?
He didn’t even belong to the Lu family. Why did she give up on Lu Jinian, who was the heir of the Lu family, just for him?
In the huge living hall, the only sound heard was the click when both the walnuts in Master Lu’s hands collided against each other. Yang Yue’s face was pale as if there was no blood flowing through it.
Master Lu was just like before. He was sitting in the same spot on the couch and the television was still showing the same channel—CCTV news.
“Master, Professor Hong Lu is here,” the butler reported, and upon hearing the news, Master Lu jumped up like a spring and immediately got off the couch.
His reaction was totally different from the one when he heard of the news that Lu Xuan had been arrested.
“Master, the doctor already said that you have elevated blood pressure. No matter if you want to sit or stand, lie down or get up from bed, you should do it slowly!” The butler reminded him anxiously.
“Ayyy, stop nagging me. Quick! Lead me outside so that I can welcome Professor Hong Lu.”
Master Lu tidied his already neat attire and walked towards the door.
He didn’t even care about Lu Xuan, who was a human being that had just been arrested. Professor Hong Lu was just a doctor that was here for Lu Jinian, but Master Lu was taking it so seriously.
They may be brothers by blood, but the treatment they received was completely different.
Soon, Hong Lu walked into the Lu household with Master Lu, who was being extremely enthusiastic. When they pa.s.sed by Yang Yue and Father Lu, he was still talking about Lu Jinian’s condition to her, completely ignoring both of them, never thinking of introducing Lu Yanlei to Professor Hong Lu.
Hong Lu had no idea who the two people standing in the living hall were. Since Master Lu did not introduce them, she also did the same, ignoring them and following Master Lu into the elevator, which took them to the third floor.
Yang Yue had an empty feeling in her heart as she turned and asked Father Lu, “Uncle, didn’t grandfather look for the Lawrence Inst.i.tute when Jinian first injured his legs? Didn’t they say that they couldn’t treat it?”
“Previously, it wasn’t that they couldn’t treat it. It was because the boss of Lawrence Inst.i.tute, Saka, demanded 50% of the Lu family’s share. Father wasn’t with us when they asked for it and I immediately rejected it. Later on, when father once again asked for help from Saka, she immediately rejected him, saying that there was no hope of her treating him.”
