With a sharp "slap," a crisp sound of a slap rang out.
"Lu Haifeng! Are you even human? Yan Ting is still alive! And you're so eager to take over the Lu Group! Have you ever thought about what Grandpa would think? When he was alive, he arranged for people abroad to take good care of you! How can you do this to him?"
"If he knew how you treated Yanting, how heartbroken he would be!" Lu Nian roared at Lu Haifeng, her voice trembling.
Lu Haifeng felt his face burning. He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and glared fiercely at Lu Nian.
"Don't try to intimidate me with the old man! If he hadn't kicked my son and me out of the country, would I have had to live such a cautious and subservient life all these years? I'm in this miserable state now because of him! If he had taken me back to the Lu family back then, I would be the young master of the Lu family now!"
As Lu Haifeng spoke, he suddenly burst into laughter, "Fortunately, it's truly a blessing from heaven! Even the heavens know how much I've suffered these past years, so they've given me an opportunity. Since it's a blessing from heaven, I have no reason to refuse! Lu Nian, hand over the things!"
"Lu Haifeng! Don't forget! The Lu family will not acknowledge your identity. As long as you are not recognized, you can't return to the Lu family! You are not qualified to come here as the heir!" Lu Nian reminded him.
Lu Haifeng glanced at his watch and smiled. "Sister Lu Nian, I forgot to tell you, this morning at ten o'clock, Lu Shanhe held a press conference and released the paternity test report with me. He will publicly acknowledge our father-son relationship. Sister Lu Nian, does that mean I'm qualified?"
Lu Nian was stunned. She quickly took out her phone and, without even searching, the headline popped up: Shocking! The second branch of the Lu family actually has another son.
The news report included several photos showing that not only Lu Shanhe himself, but also his wife Gu Zhi, were present at the press conference.
To Lu Nian's surprise, Gu Zhi, who had always been the most opposed to Lu Haifeng's return to China, actually admitted Lu Haifeng's existence at the meeting.
He also publicly admitted that Lu Haifeng's mother was Lu Shanhe's first love, and that he did not know his ex-girlfriend was pregnant when they broke up.
Now that Lu Haifeng's biological mother has passed away, Gu Zhi, after learning about the child's existence, suggested that her husband bring Lu Haifeng back to the Lu family.
Gu Zhi's family is an old aristocratic family, but in recent years the family business has been poorly managed and they are about to fall out of the ranks of the aristocracy. As a former noble lady, Gu Zhi still has some pride.
Gu Zhi's actions demonstrate both her magnanimity and her absolute trust in her husband!
Lu Nian knew her aunt to some extent. How could someone as proud as her lower herself to cooperate with the father and son in such a disgusting act? There must be other interests involved.
"Sister Lu Nian! How was it? Have you finished reading? Now, I'm just like you, a descendant of the Lu family."
As he spoke, Lu Haifeng seemed to suddenly remember something, and he chuckled twice, "No, I misspoke. We are different. You are Grandpa's granddaughter. You are the ceiling of the Lu Group. At most, you can only do odd jobs for Lu Yanting. You will never be able to sit in the position of the family head. But I am different. I am a grandson with the right to inherit!"
"Lu Haifeng! Don't be so smug! Let me tell you, no matter what kind of poison Yan Ting has been poisoned with, I will do everything I can to save him!"
Furthermore, Uncle Xu of the Xu Group has always held Yan Ting in high regard. Although the Xu family isn't as powerful as our Lu family, their position in Guangcheng is not to be underestimated. If he disagrees, you won't be able to maintain your foothold in the Lu Group! Similarly, the Han family and the Hua family will also stand by Yan Ting and support him!
Lu Haifeng frowned, his face showing undisguised disdain. "Tsk tsk tsk, I'm actually scared!"
Just then, Lu Haifeng's phone rang. He looked at it and saw that it was Ming calling. The man smiled and waved his phone in front of Lu Nian.
Then, in front of the two of them, he answered the phone and unabashedly turned on the speakerphone.
"Haifeng! I've seen the press conference. You actually managed to convince Lu Shanhe. It seems your plan is going very smoothly!"
Haifeng, I've seen your abilities, and I'm very satisfied. I'm planning to hold an engagement banquet for you and Jingyan in a week. How about that? With the support of the Xu family, you should be able to take over as head of the Lu family much faster, right?
Lu Nian listened to Xu Ming's voice on the phone with disbelief. Her hands, hanging by her sides, were clenched tightly as she suppressed the urge to hit him.
She always felt that her parents had a pretty good relationship with the Xu family, and her mother even regarded Xu Jingyan as her future daughter-in-law. She never expected that the people who stabbed her in the back the most would be the Xu family!
Lu Nian couldn't help but sneer, "Uncle Xu, so you're Lu Haifeng's backer? I really didn't expect that."
The person on the phone was clearly taken aback. "Lu Nian?"
"That's right! It's me..."
Lu Haifeng hung up the phone without waiting for Xu Ming's response.
He suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Nian, only a step away from her. He lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "So, Sister Lu Nian, do you still think your Uncle Xu will be on your side?"
Lu Nian didn't say anything, she just stared straight at him.
Lu Haifeng suddenly chuckled softly, "Oh right, you heard it too, I'm getting engaged to Xu Jingyan. Sister Lu Nian, as a member of the Lu family, you'll have to come and give us your blessings! Alright, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't hold it against you! Next time I come over, remember to call me 'President'!"
After Lu Haifeng finished speaking, he took a long stride and walked towards the door.
"Neuropathy!"
Lu Nian was so angry that her whole body was trembling. She picked up the teacup on the table and threw it towards the door.
“Miss…” Yan Kai handed two tissues to Lu Nian.
Lu Nian then realized that the water in the teacup had splashed all over her hand, and she took a tissue to wipe her hands.
"Yan Kai, Yan Ting has been on leave for several days now. Tell me, where is he now?"
Yan Kai lowered his eyes. "I'm sorry, Miss, Mr. Lu instructed that we not to tell anyone about his whereabouts. As you know, he's always been proud and doesn't want anyone to see him like this!"
Lu Nian excitedly grabbed Yan Kai's arm, "Just secretly, I'll just sneak a peek at him, you have to let me know how he is now, right?"
Yan Kai was still somewhat embarrassed. "This... Miss, I always only follow President Lu's instructions. Please don't make things difficult for me. How about this, when I get back, I'll give him a call! You two can discuss it yourselves."
"Help him make a phone call? What do you mean?" Lu Nian immediately grasped the key point.
