Chapter 143 I'm Here to Give a Gift
Song Ze secretly swallowed the wine in his mouth and immediately stood up straight.
Shen Yubai also put away his nonchalant look and looked respectful.
Su Mo looked at Sang Wan silently and asked quietly, "Who is this?"
Sang Wan had already guessed it in her heart. After all, this car was probably not something that ordinary people could afford.
The car door opened.
Uncle Fu, the old butler of the Lu family, got out of the car first and then respectfully opened the back door.
A shiny dragon-headed cane was first extended out.
Immediately afterwards, an old man wearing a dark Zhongshan suit, who looked energetic and intimidating without even getting angry, got out of the car.
Mr. Lu.
Sang Wan didn't expect him to come back, and her heart sank.
She stood up subconsciously and looked at Lu Tingzhou.
Lu Tingzhou stood up and held the person in his arms.
He whispered in her ear, "It's going to be okay."
Behind Mr. Lu, Uncle Fu was holding an antique rosewood box in his hand.
The old man calmly glanced at the atmosphere in the yard, and finally his eyes fell on Lu Tingzhou.
The originally lively atmosphere in the courtyard froze at this moment because of his arrival.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Sang Wan wanted to go up and say hello, after all, they had obtained the marriage certificate, and this man was her father-in-law.
Although there were some unpleasantness, he has expressed his position after all.
As soon as she raised her leg, Lu Tingzhou pulled her back.
He pulled her back into his arms, and continued to hold her calmly, meeting the old man's gaze with a calm expression.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Tingzhou's voice was calm and peaceful.
And Sang Wan's heart skipped a beat.
It's like kidnapping someone's son and being caught by the parents.
The only sound in the air was the sizzling sound of grease dripping from the barbecue grill, which seemed particularly harsh.
Lu Qiming glared at his son.
Those weathered eyes were cold and imposing.
After a long time, Lu Qiming spoke slowly, his majesty remained undiminished and still very intimidating.
"For such a big thing as getting a marriage certificate, why didn't you tell your family? Isn't that too ignorant of the rules?"
Lu Tingzhou hugged Sang Wan, and the eyes behind the glasses were as cold as ice.
"I don't need to report my affairs to anyone."
"Now you say I have no manners, but when I needed to learn the rules, you didn't teach me."
The conversation between the father and son was sharp and full of tension.
Chen Yubai and Song Ze didn't dare to breathe.
The veins on Lu Qiming's hand holding the crutch were bulging.
He took a deep breath, as if trying hard to suppress his anger, and there was a rare hint of fatigue in his tone.
"I admit that I didn't care enough about you in order to choose the heir to the family."
"I even...used many methods that shouldn't have been used to temper you."
He paused, his voice sank.
"Thinking about it now, I'm really not a qualified father."
When these words were spoken, even Lu Tingzhou was slightly stunned.
Lu Qiming turned his gaze to Sang Wan with a gentle look.
"After you get married, you should love each other."
"Wanwan, you must also shoulder the responsibilities of a wife, care more about Tingzhou, and support Tingzhou."
Sang Wan didn't have time to respond.
Lu Tingzhou sneered, breaking the brief peace.
That laughter was full of sarcasm and indifference.
"You expect others to clean up and make up for what you didn't do well?"
"The truth about the abacus is so obvious that the abacus beads are flying on my face."
He spoke each word clearly, his voice was not loud, but every word was heart-piercing.
"I married my wife to make her loved and happy."
"You didn't ask her to clean up after you."
"Why do you ask her to give you something you haven't given her?"
The air completely solidified.
Lu Qiming's face turned red instantly, his lips moved, but he couldn't say a word.
He was stripped of all his disguises and masks in front of everyone by his proudest son.
Embarrassment, anger, and a hint of unspeakable embarrassment.
The atmosphere in the yard was so tense that it almost broke apart.
Just then.
A soft little hand gently raised up and poked Lu Tingzhou's hard arm.
The force is light, but cannot be ignored.
Lu Tingzhou's tense jawline relaxed instantly.
He turned his head and looked at Sang Wan behind him.
The woman shook her head gently at him. The worry and comfort in her eyes miraculously calmed the hostility in his eyes.
He shut his mouth.
This scene fell clearly into Lu Qiming's eyes.
He has lived a whole life and is a smart man among smart people. He understood it in an instant.
Whether the relationship between herself and her son can be eased depends entirely on her newly married daughter-in-law.
Lu Qiming raised his hand and said, "Forget it, I didn't come here to see you."
"Today I have two main things to do. One is to give a gift to my daughter-in-law, and the other is to give a gift to my daughter-in-law."
He took the rosewood box from Uncle Fu and walked up to Sang Wan.
"I'm not a conservative person. I don't want you to change your words. You should pay me for changing your words. This is a gift from me, your elder, to you."
Lu Tingzhou raised his eyebrows and said teasingly, "Now you're starting to curry favor."
"My wife, whatever you want, I can give you."
"Please come here and show your ability."
"If you can't speak, just shut up." Lu Qiming was almost choked by him and glared at him.
"You really can't give me the gift I give you."
As he spoke, he handed the wooden box in his hand to Sang Wan.
"Open it and take a look."
Sang Wan looked at Lu Tingzhou hesitantly, and when she saw that he had no objection, she carefully took it.
The lid is open.
Lying quietly inside was a full green jade bracelet and a document.
The words at the top were—
【Property Transfer Contract】
The address column is her studio.
Sang Wan's heart skipped a beat.
This old man... is really generous, he really came to give gifts.
"The bracelet is a family heirloom of our Lu family, and I'm giving it to you now. This contract is a gift from me to celebrate the opening of your studio. I hope you and Tingzhou will live in harmony, your family will be happy and stable, and your career will continue to rise."
Lu Tingzhou took the document from Sang Wan.
After a quick glance, his gaze suddenly narrowed.
He slowly turned around, walked to Shen Yubai, took the bottle of beer he had just opened, and put it on the table with a "bang".
The movement was not big, but it brought with it an oppressive feeling of impending storm.
Shen Yubai was enjoying the show and was completely baffled by his action.
"Lu San, what are you doing?"
Lu Tingzhou raised his eyes, and the look behind the glasses was chilly.
"I came to you last month and asked your grandfather to sell it to me."
"What did you say?"
Shen Yubai tried hard to recall.
"I said... not me, but our old man said that it's the apple of my grandfather's eye, and he won't sell it to anyone."
"Then explain it to me now."
Lu Tingzhou slammed the contract on the table in front of Shen Yubai.
"What's this?"
Shen Yubai moved closer depressedly, and after just one look, he was completely dumbfounded.
His eyes suddenly became as big as bells.
"What the hell?"
His eyes went dark and he almost fainted on the spot.
"I really don't know about that."
He jumped up suddenly, grabbed his hair and wailed.
"Lu San, Third Brother, I swear, I really don't know. You asked me, and I really did."
"This was definitely done by my grandfather behind my back. You should ask Uncle Lu how he deceived my grandfather."
He had a sad face and pointed at Lu Qiming who looked calm.
Looking at him like such a funny guy, Lu Qiming finally smiled his first genuine smile tonight.
"Fishing to win."
In a word, I don’t know whether it is true or not.
Chen Yubai, however, was completely wilted.
The atmosphere in the yard eased a lot because of his disturbance.
Sang Wan looked at the dramatic scene in front of her with mixed feelings.
She walked up to Lu Qiming, picked up the teapot beside her, and respectfully poured him a cup of warm Pu'er tea.
"dad."
She called out softly.
Lu Qiming's hand holding the teacup trembled almost imperceptibly.
Sang Wan's voice was soft yet firm.
"Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."
"Don't worry, I will live a good life with Tingzhou in the future."
She raised her head, her eyes clear, looking directly at the man who controlled the huge family.
"As his wife, I will give him all my love. I will do my best to make him happy and let him feel the warmth of home."
Her gaze swept across Lu Tingzhou and then returned to Lu Qiming.
“There may be many regrets about the past.”
"But you see, it's not too late now."
"As long as you put your heart into it, all the shortcomings can be slowly made up for."
It's not too late now.
All shortcomings can be made up for.
These words, like a gentle thorn, pierced into Lu Qiming's heart.
He had been a ruthless killer all his life, and the person he owed the most, and the one he could least express his gratitude to, was his youngest son.
Without any warning, the old man's eyes turned slightly red.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip disguisedly, but his throat felt like it was clogged with a ball of cotton, sour and astringent.
This daughter-in-law...
My son has good taste.
"Thank you, child."
This recognition was so heavy that it almost made Sang Wan's eyes hot.
However, this rare warmth was ruthlessly torn apart by a shrill cell phone ringtone.
It’s Lu Qiming’s private call.
Anyone who can call this number is no small matter.
Lu Qiming picked up the phone and just said "Hello" before his expression changed.
The face that had just relaxed began to freeze inch by inch at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A few seconds later, he slammed his crutch to the ground as if he had heard a huge joke or touched a reverse scale.
The dragon-headed cane hit the bluestone slab hard, making a dull "dong" sound.
"Bullshit!"
He shouted loudly and with such force that the skewers of meat on the grill shook three times.
Shen Yubai and Song Ze's mouths were wide open enough to fit an egg.
When have I ever seen an old man curse like this?
