Chapter 119 A Taunt Delivered to Your Doorstep
"What do you mean by taking advantage of someone's misfortune?" Lu Ye repeated, "We are father and son."
“By blood,” Lu Xiwen said bluntly. “When you were young, you were a top-tier high-level figure, quite a character. Don’t get old and start relying on your son.”
Lu Ye stared wide-eyed, utterly speechless.
The female Omega beside him realized something and suddenly waved in one direction: "Ningning, come quick."
A short, squat boy came running over.
While other children develop vertically, this one develops horizontally. He looks about seven or eight years old, with two drooping chins below his nose. His eyes are big and bright, though. He's hiding behind the female Omega, curiously observing Lu Xiwen and the others.
"Ningning, call him brother." Omgea pulled the child in front of him.
"Hey, don't..." Before Lu Xiwen could stop him, he saw the child grin and suddenly spit out a "pui".
Then he clearly added, "Idiot."
Pei Wu had always been very tolerant of children, but because of what she saw, her goodwill towards them plummeted from normal to extremely low.
Lu Xiwen acted quickly, retreating first, then staring at the few spit spots on the ground, his face almost overflowing with disgust.
Pei Wu offered a handkerchief at the opportune moment, which Lu Xiwen took and covered his lips with. He glanced at the child critically, then asked Lu Ye, "Your son?"
Lu Ye's vision blurred, and he turned to stare at Su Ai, not understanding how she had raised the child like this.
Su Ai picked Lu Changning up in her arms, her face full of apology: "I'm so sorry, this child..."
Lu Xiwen raised his hand to interrupt, not glancing at Su Ai once from beginning to end, but saying to Lu Ye, "I finally understand why you're in such a hurry to make money. If you don't earn some to save for your coffin, I'll pull out your oxygen tube."
Pei Wu gently nudged Lu Xiwen from behind, telling him not to be too blunt.
Lu Ye's face turned pale.
But Lu Xiwen wasn't finished. "Dad, to be honest, I think you're now tainted by bad luck after shedding your high-ranking glory. From now on, business collaborations should be done through proper channels, and profit sharing should be done according to company regulations. Don't contact me unless it's absolutely necessary."
After saying that, Lu Xiwen pulled Pei Wu away.
The two voices could still be faintly heard.
Are you sure you didn't throw up on me?
"No, really."
"Forget it, let's just throw these clothes away when we get home."
"No, I've sorted it out and can put it on the second-hand market."
"You decide, but I'm definitely not wearing it anymore."
Lu Ye, unable to bear it any longer, slapped Lu Changning on the head. Lu Changning instinctively wanted to pout and cry, but was glared at by Lu Ye and didn't dare to.
Su Ai never expected things to turn out this way.
After hesitating for a while, she finally managed to say, "Your son is so petty. Why is he arguing with a child? How old is Ningning? Look at what he said, he's clearly trying to distance himself from us..."
"Shut up," Lu Ye said coldly.
His sense of shame was stirred up by Lu Xiwen, and he felt like he was surrounded by onlookers.
Yes, he was so successful when he was young. Tang Qingsu was excellent at taking care of children and family, not to mention anything else. He had never had to worry about Lu Xiwen since he was born. He was a prodigy and always remained at the top. Although Lu Changning's genetic test also showed him to be an Alpha, he was likely to be mediocre, which greatly disappointed Lu Ye.
As expected... Lu Ye glanced coldly at Su Ai, who had a beautiful appearance but inferior genes.
Su Ai was so angry at that look that she felt dizzy and disoriented. She thought to herself, "Is this my fault, you old man?! How old are you? What good genes could you possibly have?!"
After that, Lu Xiwen refused to have any more close contact with Lu Ye.
The banquet went smoothly and ended at 11:30.
As soon as Lu Xi heard the car was about to start, Pei Wu leaned back in the passenger seat and closed her eyes.
As Lu Xiwen turned on the air conditioner, he released pheromones. Pei Wu noticed this and smiled, saying, "It's nothing."
Lu Xiwen stopped arguing with him about these things because he knew Pei Wu's personality too well.
Pei Wu took a half-hour nap on the way home and returned to the kitchen refreshed.
Lan Zhe is coming back to work tomorrow, so I need to prepare the promised feeding.
“Just this once,” Lu Xiwen said, leaning against the doorway.
Pei Wu: "Be more generous."
"If you could see things from my perspective, you would understand that I am truly very generous."
Pei Wu observed all night and found that the appearance of Lu Ye's family had no effect on Lu Xiwen at all. It was just a pity for that haute couture suit, which was sent to the balcony by the man when it came back.
The next day, Lan Zhe, well-rested, went to work on time. Hungry, he ate the rice balls, fried pork, dry noodles, and a large bowl of tofu pudding that Pei Wu had stuffed into his arms, which instantly rekindled his hope for life.
He even ignored the glance Lu Xiwen cast at him as he passed by.
Whatever, Lan Zhe slurped down most of the bowl of tofu pudding in one go, thinking that it was really illogical for people to like sweet things. He also thought that he needed a partner who could cook well, so that he could be a helper.
"Assistant Pei." Someone from the reception area knocked cautiously and entered, looking troubled. "Mr. Lu is in the banquet hall."
Pei Wu was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other person was talking about Lu Ye.
“I’ve been here for a while now,” Lan Zhe said vaguely. “The Vice President Yuan who was scolded by President Lu just went to the other side for a moment because he thought his son should inherit the family business. I didn’t want to say anything, otherwise I would have already finished scolding him.”
Lu Xiwen was working inside, and Pei Wu went in to find him.
Ten minutes later, Lu Xiwen headed to the banquet hall.
Lu Changning ran around with a model airplane in his hand, while Su Ai sat beside Lu Ye, curiously observing him. Meanwhile, something called "love" was rapidly brewing in her eyes.
Before Lu Ye could speak, Su Ai stood up first, then took the gift box from the table and handed it to Lu Xiwen, "I'm sorry, Lu, we were wrong before. This is a gift I carefully prepared for you, please don't mind it."
"No need," Lu Xiwen said calmly.
Su Ai's smile froze, and she looked at Lu Ye with a hint of grievance.
When Lu Ye met Lu Xiwen's "That's it? Is that all the taste you have?" expression, he felt embarrassed again.
"You're working closely with Banluosha on the Nanxing Road hotel development, aren't you? I heard you're short of a partner, how about I join you?" Lu Ye said in a deep voice.
Su Ai felt embarrassed when he didn't mention her at all.
Lu Xiwen: "How much can you invest?"
Lu Ye gave a number.
Lu Xiwen shook his head: "Too little."
Lu Ye also felt it wasn't enough and was thinking of adding more when he heard Su Ai say softly, "Little Lu, we're family after all. If we don't have enough, can you help us out? We can all make money together."
Pei Wu: "..."
Lu Xiwen, unable to contain himself any longer, said, "Did you bring people here just to give me a chance to mock you?"
"On the way!!!" Lu Ye emphasized loudly, then yelled at Su Ai, "Do you even have the right to speak here?"
"And another thing," Lu Xiwen emphasized, "If you call me Xiao Lu again, I won't be polite."
"What are you so arrogant about?" Lu Changning shouted at Lu Xiwen from a relatively safe position, "My mom said that all of this is mine from now on!"
After a moment of deathly silence, Lu Xiwen gave Lu Ye a thumbs up: "Your son is really good."
