Chen Xianmin had two wives. The first wife gave birth to two sons, one of whom died in battle and the other died of illness. The first wife also died of excessive grief.

The second concubine, Wang Yinglan, was the daughter of a Hong Kong businessman and had lived in Fengtian for a short period of time with her father.

After marrying Chen Xianmin, she gave birth to only one daughter, named Chen Jinsi, who is Lu Guanjie's mother.

In 1930, 50-year-old Chen Xianmin, with his second wife and 11-year-old daughter, moved to Hong Kong and settled there with a large amount of money.

Chen Jinsi has been willful since childhood. When she was 15, she insisted on marrying her classmate Lu Zhuolin, who was one year older than her, despite her father's objection. She gave birth to her son Lu Cong at the age of 16.

Early marriage was common in that era, but Chen Xianmin never liked his son-in-law.

In fact, the Lu family has a good background. Except for this young man, the whole family is in the UK.

Mr. Lu married a British lady, who was a noble lady, but she had no children. He then married a lady from Hong Kong and only then did he have this son.

Mr. Lu often travels between the UK and Hong Kong for business and lives in both places. He is also a person with a bad reputation in the business world.

Chen Xianmin considered himself to be aloof, and he didn't like his father-in-law and didn't have much contact with him.

After more than ten years of living together, he knew that his daughter and son-in-law were the same kind of people. They were short-sighted and cold-hearted by nature, and they could definitely not be relied upon.

However, "good shoots come from bad bamboo", and he actually likes his grandson Lu Cong.

This child is decisive and independent, very much like himself. He is also kind-hearted, intelligent, and filial. He often visits his grandparents.

In 1950, Lu Zhuolin took his wife and 15-year-old Lu Cong and 5-year-old Lu Guanjie to settle in the UK.

Whenever Lu Cong had holidays, he would go back to Hong Kong to spend time with his grandparents.

A few years later, Wang Yinglan passed away, and not long after that, Chen Xianmin also passed away. His eldest grandson, who was still 18 years old, returned to Hong Kong to take care of him for the last time and then took care of all the affairs after his death.

Lian Xiaomin listened to Lawrence Lu telling stories about his grandfather and forgot about time. She was supposed to hold the clock for 5 minutes, but it was almost half an hour...

He reacted, chuckled, and let go.

"So your parents really didn't care about your grandpa and didn't even come back when he passed away?"

Lawrence Lu flexed his hands, pursed his lips, and nodded: "Yeah, it's because he's angry that he distributed all his property to relatives on my grandmother's side, and didn't give it to his daughter and son-in-law..."

Lian Xiaomin raised the corner of her mouth and looked at him: "So, is that true?"

Lawrence Lu pushed back a handful of hair, looked at the girl’s bright eyes that were not greedy but full of curiosity, and smiled slightly.

"What do you think?" He stretched out his right hand, which had finally been freed, and reached for the cigarettes and lighter on the bedside table.

Lian Xiaomin immediately took the ashtray attentively, placed it in front of him, and listened to him continue talking with anticipation.

Seeing her cute appearance, Lawrence Lu really wanted to ruffle her fluffy and thick hair, but he restrained himself.

He lit up a cigarette, took a puff, and said slowly, "I'll definitely leave it all to my big brother!"

"And your eldest brother left it all to you! Am I right?"

Wow, just thinking about the feeling of inheriting a huge fortune, you must be envious, as the person in front of you is the God of Wealth.

Hearing this, Lawrence Lu deliberately frowned and said in a pretentious tone: “Why, if it’s really in my hands, are you going to torture me and rob the rich to help the poor?”

Lian Xiaomin spread out her hands with an innocent look on her face.

"Of course not, it's just that I'm an ordinary person, I don't have the luck to be born into a wealthy family, just imagine, it's pretty cool... If I want to rob someone, I will definitely find a bad guy, don't worry."

"I just like listening to your stories. No one has ever made me so curious."

Lawrence Lu smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t know what evil has befallen me…Since you are my savior, I might as well tell you that my eldest brother did leave it to me, hidden in a secret property in Hong Kong Island, but I have never taken it.”

"In fact, I don't lack money. That was what my grandfather left him, so I should give it all to him. After all, I was still young and ignorant at that time, and I didn't fulfill my filial duty."

"But my eldest brother said that no matter how bad his parents are, they are still his parents, and they will leave all the Lu family's property to him in the future. I won't take a penny from them even if they give it to me."

"So he decided to give me all of my grandfather's share. Now, I'm afraid I can't even ask for it..."

Thinking of his elder brother and family who died tragically, Lu Guanjie sighed. Although two years have passed, the pain in his heart is still difficult to heal.

Lian Xiaomin patted his shoulder with the lightest force this time, comforting him silently.

Lawrence Lu glanced at her from the side, remembered something, and said, “But, I was planning to tell you…”

"In fact, I already know the amount of property that Big Boss Rong has taken away after killing people and robbing people. I haven't distributed all of it because he doesn't dare to!"

"The case was such a big deal back then, and it's only been two years. If it's uncovered, he won't get a good result, so most of the stuff is still there!"

"I originally wanted to wait until I recovered from my injuries, then find a way to get them back and give them all to you. After all, without you, I would have died a long time ago..."

"But I know you're leaving Hong Kong Island soon. In that case, why don't you just go get it yourself? I believe that with your kung fu, you're definitely better than me and can do it!"

Lian Xiaomin was a little dumbfounded. She was deeply moved by the other party's decisive words.

He regarded money as something outside of himself, and was loyal to his elder brother and her, a life-long friend who had only known each other for one day but saved each other. He was also very smart...

It's really worth it to have such a friend. It's really hard to carry him back and take care of him for a few days.

"Hey, I've only known you for less than 24 hours, and you want to give me all your wealth?"

Lawrence Lu sighed and said jokingly, “Maybe it was destined that it was ‘stolen’ by a little thief like you.”

"I've returned everything I took to you. The two pairs of vases are in the study on the third floor. You can take them as you like."

Lawrence Lu shook his head helplessly: “Those are no longer important to me, I can give them all to you, and I am very grateful that you can leave this antique porcelain bowl of your eldest brother to me.”

"Although it has only been a dozen hours since we met, it feels like we have known each other for many years. We understand each other's heart, right?"

Lian Xiaomin smiled: "There is an idiom in the "Records of the Grand Historian: Biographies of Lu Zhonglian and Zou Yang" - white hair is as new as new, and friendship is as good as before."

"Some people have known each other for a long time, so long that their hair has turned white, but it's as if they just met for the first time. Some people have just met, even if they just happened to see each other in the car parked on the road, and they immediately chat happily, but it seems that they have known each other for a long time and feel like they have known each other for a long time."

“…The depth of the relationship between people cannot be measured by the length of time.”

Lawrence Lu nodded in admiration, and after a while, he continued to talk about business.
