The two chatted for a while. Seeing that he was in a better mood, Zhou Qian found an opportunity to ask casually, "By the way, who called you just now?"
"A member of the Lu family." Lu Jing also answered indifferently.
Zhou Qian wasn't sure if the 'Lu family' he was referring to was his father or someone else. "What do they want you for?"
A cold glint flashed in Lu Jing's eyes, "You still don't want to give up even after reaching the Yellow River."
"They came to ask you for mercy?"
"It's Lu Jianhong who wants to see me."
Zhou Qian frowned, thinking of the whips on Lu Jing's back. She didn't have a good impression of Lu Jianhong. "I'll go with you."
Lu Jing glanced at her and asked, "What are you going to do? Draw a picture to curse him?"
Zhou Qian chuckled, then said righteously, "I will be your strong backing. No matter what you do, I will stand by you unwaveringly."
…
A few days later, Lu Jing arrived at the meeting place agreed by Lu Jianhong as promised. Of course, Zhou Qian did what he said and accompanied him.
The car stopped under the building. Zhou Qian took off his seat belt like Lu Jing. When he was about to open the door and get out of the car, he was stopped by Lu Jing.
"Wait for me here." Lu Jing was very clear about the nature of this meeting and didn't want her to see the ugliness in his life and the indifferent family affection.
She has experienced enough in her life, and from now on, he only wants to show her the beautiful and warm side.
Because she deserves the best and most sincere things.
Zhou Qian was actually worried about him, but after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed, "Let's go visit Grandma Liu later."
"good."
Zhou Qian watched him enter the building, took out his cell phone and made a call.
…
Lu Jing took the elevator to the top floor, where Lu Jianhong was already waiting.
Today, Lu Jianhong has lost his former majesty. His hair has turned white, and his face, which was once full of flesh, is now just a face of loose yellow skin.
Even though he was in such a miserable state, the hostility in Lu Jianhong's eyes did not diminish at all.
Lu Jing looked at the hostility in Lu Jianhong's eyes and remembered the day when he was taken back to Lu Jing. Lu Jianhong had the same look in his eyes when he first saw him.
Since then, this look has been deeply imprinted in his mind.
Lu Jing sat down on the sofa, grabbed a cigarette and lit it, not wanting to waste time. "Let's say everything at once. After all, we may not have the chance to meet again in the future."
Lu Jianhong's expression turned visibly darker. "Do you hate the Lu family so much? Have you forgotten who gave you all the wealth and glory you've had over the years?"
"Wealth and glory?" Lu Jing sneered, his eyes shrouded in ice. "You think I want wealth and glory that I exchanged for my dark childhood?"
Lu Jianhong frowned and was silent for a moment before he sighed deeply. "I admit that I neglected you during that time, but I had no choice. The family feud was so intense back then. If I hadn't focused on the company, how could you have a good life in the future?"
"In the final analysis, all I'm doing is to help you gain a firm foothold in the Lu family and avoid being exploited."
Lu Jing simply laughed off his 'good intentions' and said, "It's been twenty years. Don't you think it's a bit late to explain what you did now?"
Lu Jianhong ignored his sarcasm and continued to play the emotional card. "You were still young at that time, and you were taken back under those circumstances. You resent me, and I don't blame you. But I raised you all these years, found you the best school, and gave you everything I could. Couldn't you have left me a way out?"
Lu Jing took a puff of his cigarette, his expression suddenly becoming stern beneath the white mist. "You ruined your own life. If it were me, you would have been standing on a mountaintop somewhere."
"you……"
Lu Jianhong glared angrily, but he had come to Lu Jing today to ask him to do something, so he could only suppress his anger. "No matter what, we are father and son. Do you want me to go to jail when I am half buried in the ground?"
"What good does it do you to have a father in prison?"
Lu Jing leaned back on the sofa and spoke slowly, "It really doesn't do any good, so you can choose to die directly."
Lu Jianhong felt a rush of blood to his forehead and his vision went dark. He held his forehead and leaned back on the sofa to relax.
Lu Jing looked at him coldly, as if he were a stranger. He waited until Lu Jianhong calmed down a bit before he spoke.
"So you still knew we were father and son," Lu Jing said, "When you locked me up in the basement and starved me for three days and three nights, why didn't you consider that I was your son?"
Lu Jing stood up and walked over to Lu Jianhong, grabbing his collar with a sharp look in his eyes. "When you whipped me more and more viciously, did you ever consider that I was your son?"
"When you beat me up and I was covered in wounds and nearly died of a fever, did you ever come to see me?"
He had imagined a father who was kind and loving, who would teach him the principles of life, who would carry him on his shoulders, who would be his happy horse...
However, the appearance of Lu Jianhong shattered his beautiful vision of his father. Not only that, it also destroyed the only happiness his mother brought him, leaving him with countless nightmares.
Lu Jianhong knew he couldn't clear his name, so he could only force himself to save face. "I beat you so that you would be more careful with what you say and do. I locked you up because you did something wrong."
Speaking of this, Lu Jianhong's eyes were filled with guilt. "When you had a fever, something happened at the branch office and I couldn't leave."
Lu Jing sneered and threw him back onto the sofa. "You don't need to explain, and I don't need your explanation. I'm saying this to let you know that you're not worthy of being a father."
"Whether it's me or Lu Qianqian, you are a loser."
Lu Jing sat back on the sofa and looked at the embarrassed Lu Jianhong across from him. "Do you know why I indulged Lu Qianqian so much? It's because I wanted to see her today."
Lu Jianhong's facial expression gradually became distorted. Lu Jing watched with a joy he had never felt before. He even stabbed him again, "Of course, this is also largely due to you."
Lu Jianhong narrowed his eyes cunningly, and at this moment he seemed to understand something, "Have you been wanting to take revenge on me for a long time?"
Lu Jing's eyes were cold, and his whole body was shrouded in a chill. "From the moment you threatened me with her ashes, it was destined that you and your children would not have a good ending."
Lu Jianhong suddenly realized that Lu Jing had packaged himself as a playboy over the years just to make him fight fires.
In this case, Lu Jianhong could only play his last trump card, "So you don't want her to rest in peace?"
Lu Jing's dark pupils shrank, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Lu Jianhong knew that this was Lu Jing's weak spot, so he curled his lips in satisfaction and continued, "As long as you leave me a way out, I can return her to you immediately."
