Chapter 433 The Origin of the So-called Elders
"Yes, I am her elder in the family. Please let her come out to see us!"
Seeing the old man's bossy attitude, the platoon leader was a little unhappy. Now Lu Chiyu was also his idol, and he almost wanted to curse at him for being so rude to his idol.
But who doesn’t have a few excellent relatives? If the other party is really an important relative of the idol, it would be bad if he scolded the other party.
After some mental preparation, the platoon leader smiled politely and said, "I'm sorry, Chief Engineer Lu is currently attending the freshman opening ceremony at the university and can't come out to see you for the time being."
"It's such a crappy opening ceremony, and it's so important for her to come out and see her elders who have been separated from her for many years and have come thousands of miles to meet her. Let her out!" the old man said angrily.
"I'm sorry, we have to keep public and private affairs separate. Chief Engineer Lu is doing official business now. Even if her grandfather comes, we can't interrupt the graduation ceremony at this time." The platoon leader insisted on refusing, and this was also the truth.
Seeing that the platoon leader was unmoved and looked like he was not willing to negotiate, the old man knew that his plan to suppress Lu Chiyu in their first meeting had failed.
He winked at the man in his thirties who had spoken before.
The man saw it and said, "Dad, since it's inconvenient for my niece to come out, it's the same if we go in to see her."
"Then I'll go in and see her reluctantly. After all, business is more important. I am still very considerate of the younger generation."
The platoon leader almost couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard the old man say this. God damn it, he's reluctantly doing it, and he's still considerate of the younger generation! He almost couldn't help but curse.
Of course he held back, because he heard the man call Lu Chiyu his cousin, and maybe these were really Lu Chiyu's lost relatives.
He continued politely, "I'm sorry, Chief Engineer Lu's security level is very high. She is attending the opening ceremony at the university. Anyone whose identity has not been clearly investigated and approved is not allowed to enter. Please understand."
Being rejected again, the old man was furious: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Are the younger generations of our Lu family so arrogant now?"
The platoon leader's expression turned serious when he heard this. In this day and age, respecting elders is still very important. If he makes Chief Engineer Lu have the reputation of being disrespectful to the elders in the family, it will be his fault.
So he said, "How about this, you tell me your names and identities, and I'll send someone in to report this to Chief Engineer Lu. If Chief Engineer Lu agrees to see you, you can go in."
The old man was about to explode, but a teenager of about seventeen or eighteen among them said, "Grandpa, let's listen to this comrade and tell him your identity and name. I believe that if my cousin knew you were coming, she would definitely let you in."
"Okay, remember that I am Lu Chiyu's great-uncle, my name is Lu Qihua, is that okay?" The old man said.
"Old comrade, are you sure we can tell Chief Engineer Lu so simply that she can recognize you? As far as I know, Chief Engineer Lu's Lu family has only one son for five generations, so she shouldn't have a great-uncle.
So would you mind being more specific and telling us your origins?"
When asked this, Lu Qihua's face darkened and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.
At this time, the young man beside him helped out and said, "Our branch fled abroad before the founding of the People's Republic of China. We and Chief Engineer Lu's cousin have the same great-great-grandfather.
Although we have been living abroad these years, we always keep the Red Country in mind, remember that we are Red Country people, and want to return to the Red Country to trace our roots at all times.
But in recent years, the relationship between the Red Country and overseas countries has been bad, and we have never been able to return.
Now we see that the Red Country has started reforms, and we also heard that my cousin has restored our Lu family's medical skills, so grandpa hurried back with us, his descendants.
So please inform my cousin for us."
These words made sense, but because of the harsh words Lu Qihua said to Lu Chiyu earlier in an attempt to control him, the credibility of these words was reduced in the eyes of the platoon leader.
Especially since the platoon leader knew that Lu Chiyu’s great-grandfather also had no brothers.
"But as far as I know, Chief Engineer Lu's great-grandfather has no brothers."
Lu Qihua and his family: ...You know too much!
The boy said, "I...our great-grandfather and my cousin's great-grandfather are half-brothers. Our great-grandfather went abroad at a young age, so outsiders may not have heard of us."
Platoon Leader: He's a descendant of an illegitimate child! Or perhaps he's a half-brother of Chief Engineer Lu's great-grandfather's generation!
Yes, this platoon leader is a native of Jun City, and he knows the Lu family’s situation very well.
As far as he knew, Lu Chiyu's great-grandfather had never told anyone that he had a brother. Everyone in Jun City thought that the Lu family had been a single-line family for five generations.
So there is only one possibility for the other side, that is, Lu Chiyu's grandfather Gao cheated on her and left behind an illegitimate child!
The platoon leader said that he was absolutely unwilling to tell Lu Chiyu about this relative who was so cheap that he couldn't afford to pay any more.
But this was Lu Chiyu's family affair, and she needed to make the decision herself, so the platoon leader asked a young soldier to go in and pass on the message.
When Lu Chiyu received the news, she had just given her speech and stepped down from the stage.
After listening to the little soldier's whispered report, she immediately knew who the other party was.
Among the books she got from the Lu family's old house, in a note written by her great-grandfather, he did mention that he had a half-brother.
This brother was born when his father had an affair with his mother while she was pregnant with him.
However, her grandfather Gao still had some rationality and never made the illegitimate child public, but his favoritism was obvious.
Grandma Gao died of depression because of this, so my great-grandfather hated Grandpa Gao, his concubine, and his illegitimate son.
My great-grandfather recorded in his notes that after he inherited the family business, his father left Jun City with his concubine and her son like a stray dog.
I didn't expect that this illegitimate child would run away abroad.
Now this kind of "relative" wants to come and claim kinship. Lu Chiyu said, does the other party think she is a good-tempered person?
