Chapter 429 Severing the Father-Son Relationship with Lu Qi
Gu Qingshi hated people like Zhuo Yao the most. They seemed innocent, but so many things and people were ruined by them. "You always say you know nothing, but how could you not know? You know very well what would happen to me if Lu Ziyu and I were arrested today."
"You know everything in your heart, but you pretend to know nothing, and you try to get away with it every time."
Zhuo Yao's pupils shrank sharply. She didn't dare to look at Lu Yuan, avoiding his gaze guiltily. "I really don't know."
"You're still pretending." Gu Qingshi felt Lu Yuan's tension, and then looked at Zhuo Yao who was still pretending to be innocent. He couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed Zhuo Yao's collar, "Stop pretending! If you have the guts, look Lu Yuan in the eye and say you know nothing!"
Zhuo Yao was forced to face Lu Yuan, but she didn't dare to look at him. Gu Qingshi looked at her with more and more hostility in his eyes, and used force on his hands, "Look, you know everything. You are not worthy of being Lu Yuan's mother. Don't call yourself Lu Yuan's mother anymore! If I see you looking innocent and asking for a beating again, I will beat you every time I see you."
Gu Qingshi pushed Zhuo Yao away after he finished speaking. Zhuo Yao was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. After being pushed back two steps, she sat down powerlessly, gasping for breath, "Lu Yuan, you saw what she did to me, right? She even threatened me."
Zhuo Yao wanted to complain to Lu Yuan, but Gu Qingshi said impatiently, "You don't understand what I'm saying, right? Lu Yuan has cut off ties with you, and you still dare to call him that? Zhuo Yao, I'm warning you for the last time, don't bother him anymore."
Gu Qingshi's hands creaked, "Before, I thought you were his mother, so I didn't lay a hand on you, but things will be different from now on. If you dare to hurt or bother Lu Yuan again, I will pay you back a hundredfold!"
Zhuo Yao was angry and scared. She avoided Gu Qingshi and went to Lu Yuan. "Impossible. I will not break off relations with Lu Yuan. He is my son and he will be my son forever. I am his mother. There is no such thing as breaking off relations."
"Why not?" Old Master Lu, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up. "Since ancient times, there have been parents who drove their children away and severed ties with them, and there have also been children who severed ties with their parents. Why should he be your son for the rest of his life? What gives you the right?"
Old Master Lu stood up and said, "Zhuo Yao, a few years ago, I said that you didn't want Lu Yuan as your son, I wanted your grandson. Today, I can also tell you clearly that Qing Shi is right. You are not worthy of being Lu Yuan's mother!"
"Dad!" Zhuo Yao screamed in fear.
But Mr. Lu did not stop, "You are selfish, vicious and stupid but you don't know it. Someone like you is really not worthy of being Lu Yuan's mother."
Mr. Lu didn't look at Zhuo Yao, but at Lu Yuan. "In the past, we all wrote a letter of severance. Today, you should write one as well. If you want to sever ties, do it completely. There should be a witness in the future, and outsiders should also know about it."
Lu Yuan looked at Mr. Lu and couldn't help but think of how Mr. Lu had stood up to support him a few years ago. He held Gu Qingshi's hand tightly and looked at Mr. Lu. The coldness in his eyes disappeared, "Okay."
Fortunately, he still has his grandfather and Gu Qingshi.
Lu Yuan quickly wrote a statement to sever ties with Zhuo Yao, signed it and handed it to Grandpa Lu. Grandpa Lu read it and said it was okay, but he did not give it back to Lu Yuan. Instead, he quickly added a few strokes, signed it as a witness and the person who gave the approval, and stamped it carefully.
Finally, he handed it to Zhuo Yao and said, "Sign your name too."
Zhuo Yao was going crazy, "No, I won't sign, even if you kill me."
Zhuo Yao was still thinking that it wouldn't count if they didn't sign it, but Mr. Lu quickly took it back, "If you don't want to sign it, then don't sign it. It's not a contract. It must be signed by both parties to be valid."
Mr. Lu handed it back to Lu Yuan and said, "Okay, keep it. You will sever all ties with her in the future. She didn't raise you for many years, so you only have an obligation to support her. But don't worry about that. I will take care of it."
Since Mr. Lu allowed Lu Yuan to sever his relationship with Zhuo Yao, he would definitely handle the matter properly for him. He thought long-term. With this statement and his signature and seal, Zhuo Yao would not be able to use the filial piety and support obligations to control Lu Yuan in the future.
Lu Yuan had thought of something that he had not thought of. "I will decide to automatically transfer part of your income to her alimony. Just like those retired employees, after she turns 55, she can receive a living allowance every month. The amount is twice the normal pension. Even if she gets sick, she can use that part of the income to make ends meet. You don't have to worry about it. I've told the lawyers."
Lu Yuan indeed had not thought about what would happen when Zhuo Yao was old after the breakup, but Old Man Lu had taken it into consideration and helped him deal with it in the long run.
After Lu Yuan was stunned, his thoughts were extremely complicated, "Grandpa."
If Lu Yuan was touched, Zhuo Yao was angry. "Dad, you can't do this to me. Even if I did something wrong, I gave birth to him after all. You just cut off my relationship with him and directly cut off my escape route. If this gets out, the Lu family will become a joke."
"Hasn't the Lu family become a joke now because of you? It's so funny!" Mr. Lu felt that Zhuo Yao was probably the biggest challenge the Lu family had to face in recent years.
Seeing that Zhuo Yao was still unwilling to accept it, Mr. Lu took a deep breath and said, "If you still refuse to give up and keep nagging, your severance of the relationship will not be spread out for everyone to know, but will be published directly in the newspaper."
Put it in the newspaper? Zhuo Yao was shocked, "Why put something like this in the newspaper? No way!"
"Why not? Aren't the divorce announcement and the statement of severance of relationship published in the newspaper enough?" Mr. Lu said as a matter of course.
"This isn't the past. What era is this now?" Zhuo Yao didn't dare to think about what the reaction would be after this severance letter was published in the newspaper, and how everyone would look at her.
Lu Qi also felt that it was too much. He didn't know how people would laugh at him when the newspaper was published. He couldn't help but say, "Dad, isn't it a bit too much to put it in the newspaper?"
Old Master Lu replied without thinking, "What's the matter? Or do you think it's not perfect without your name? Do you want Lu Yuan to sever the father-son relationship with you? Okay, Lu Yuan, you add his name. If he doesn't do a good job as a father, let's solve it once and for all, so that we don't have to do it a second time."
Before Mr. Lu finished speaking, Lu Qi quickly held him down and said, "No, no, Dad, I don't mean that. I only have one son, Lu Yuan. I will never..."
Lu Qi was really afraid that Lu Yuan would also cut off his relationship with him, so he looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Lu Yuan, I know your mother was wrong this time. I will definitely stand by you and I will look after her in the future. Don't worry. I didn't allow you to put it in the newspaper because I felt it was not good."
"It's actually okay if I don't publish it in the newspaper. But I think you may have misunderstood one thing. When I cut off my relationship with Ms. Zhuo, I didn't just cut off my relationship with her. I also cut off my relationship with you. I just said that I cut off my relationship with you all."
