Chapter 263 Lu Jianheng Got Beaten
Lu Yannan unbuttoned his chest, and the moonlight slanted in from the floor-to-ceiling window, dividing his profile into two halves of light and dark.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip of the cold tea, and knocked it heavily on the table. The fragrance of Pu'er agarwood mixed with the scent of pine wood condensed between the two of them.
"Give the property certificate of Jinxiu Villa to Secretary Chen tomorrow." He suddenly said.
Lu Jianheng suddenly raised his head, his neck tensed. “That was Grandpa’s last words…”
"So?" The documents fell to the ground, and Lu Yannan's fingertips turned white as he rolled up his sleeves. "The other party has already checked out all the assets under your name, and they are just waiting for you to fill this bottomless pit with your personal property piece by piece!"
"How did you get into this trap?"
Lu Jianheng hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to say anything.
Lu Yannan slapped the desk vigorously: "You are dumb, speak!"
"After drinking..." The words came out of his throat with a roughness like sandpaper. "That night at the celebration party..."
"Brother, give me another two weeks, I will definitely..." Lu Jianheng was still struggling. This was a mistake caused by his momentary negligence, and he couldn't let his brother clean up his mess.
Lu Yannan suddenly stood up, and his shoes crushed over the documents on the ground.
The metal clothes hanger at the study door made a sound of breaking wind when he swung it, and the metal crossbar hit Lu Jianheng's back with a dull thud that made his teeth ache.
"House Rule Number Three!"
"I can't make decisions after drinking... I can't make decisions after drinking." Lu Jianheng's tense back was bent into a bow shape in the moonlight, and the fabric of his home clothes was wrinkled with the beating.
He bit his lower lip tightly. The last time he was beaten by his elder brother was when he was eighteen years old and went skiing abroad and encountered a small avalanche.
After being taken home by my eldest brother, I was beaten violently.
That was the first time that the eldest brother lost his temper with him. After the beating, he didn't get out of bed for three days.
The metal drew a silver arc in the air, and each blow accurately avoided the bones.
The knuckles of Lu Yannan's fingers turned white as he held the clothes hanger. The sound of the second hand of his watch ticking mixed with the friction of the clothes was particularly clear in the quiet study.
The red mark was faintly bleeding through the fabric. He suddenly threw the hanger into the corner of the wall, and sparks flew as the metal collided with the wall panel.
Lu Jianheng still kept his hands on his knees, the hair on the back of his neck was soaked with cold sweat, glistening in the moonlight.
This kid is so annoying. Losing money is a small matter. I’m afraid he will target people.
Lu Jianheng stood in the middle of the study with his head lowered. His back felt burning and beads of sweat slid down his forehead into the collar of his shirt.
His Adam's apple rolled a few times, but in the end he didn't dare make any sound.
"Three hours. I want to see scanned copies of all the signed and stamped documents for the project."
"I..." Lu Jianheng just raised his eyelids and met his elder brother's icy gaze, and hurriedly looked away.
"Make a list of the people you drank with that day."
"I'll fill the hole for you. I'll help you with this matter. Lu Jianheng, if you do something stupid again, you'll be a babysitter at home from now on."
Lu Jianheng's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth: "Brother, under my name..."
"Get out!" Lu Yannan waved his hand to interrupt him.
Lu Jianheng backed up to the door, and when his fingertips touched the brass handle, he heard the sound of fabric rubbing against each other behind him.
The moonlight cut his shadow in two, one half fell in the mess in the room, and the other half was immersed in the warm light in the corridor.
"Lu Jianheng." Lu Yannan called him, his voice hoarse and bitter.
"Brother." When he turned around, the injured part on his back was pulled, and the trembling sound from his throat revealed the pain.
"One more drop of alcohol and you know the consequences."
"I understand, big brother, I will never do that again." Lu Jianheng agreed obediently, not daring to go against his big brother again.
Lu Yannan turned his back to him and waved for him to leave.
Walking out of the study, the warm light from the corridor lamp made him squint.
Lu Chixu leaned against the wall with his arms folded, the belt of his silk pajamas hanging on the dark gray marble floor, swaying slightly in the breeze.
"Second brother." The voice squeezed out from his throat was trembling.
Lu Chixu snorted coldly: "Did you get beaten?"
"Um."
"You deserve it." Lu Chixu suddenly rushed forward, grabbed his elbow, and pulled him to the reception sofa in front of the stairs.
Lu Chixu opened the first aid kit with one hand, and the smell of iodine spread in the air: "Turn around."
Lu Jianheng sat down obediently, and when he turned around and bent his back, he pulled the wound.
Lu Chixu sat next to him, and on the coffee table was the ointment that had been prepared long ago.
When he lifted up his clothes, he saw several blue and red marks on his back.
"I could hear the sound of the clothes hanger breaking in the wind through two doors." Lu Chixu picked up the gauze soaked in saline solution with tweezers.
When the cold ointment touched the wound, Lu Jianheng's shoulder blades suddenly contracted.
Lu Chixu immediately clamped his right shoulder with his left hand: "You know how to hide now, but why didn't you know when you fell into the trap?"
"Brother..." Lu Jianheng grabbed the armrest of the sofa: "I scolded you twice..."
Lu Chixu suddenly slowed down the action of dipping the cotton swab into the medicine and asked, "How much will you lose this time?
"Three billion...let's start." Lu Jianheng said weakly.
Lu Chixu's tweezers were suspended at the mouth of the iodine bottle, and the medical cotton swab suddenly broke between his fingers: "How much?"
“Three…three billion.” Lu Jianheng rested his forehead against the armrest of the sofa, his voice muffled by the leather texture: “Let’s get started.”
"Three billion?"
"Maybe... more."
"Damn it!" Lu Chixu suddenly became angry. He grabbed the back of his collar and lifted him up suddenly, then raised his hands and hit Lu Jianheng on the head several times.
Lu Jianheng didn't dare to resist and just covered his head and groaned.
"Even elementary school students know not to sign anything carelessly. You're not even as good as an elementary school student, are you?"
"No wonder Big Brother beat you up. I think Big Brother should have beaten you to death."
"Lu Jianheng, do you fucking think that money comes from the wind?" Lu Chixu spoke in a loud voice, and his voice echoed throughout the corridor.
Lu Shiman quietly opened the door of the room a crack and listened in.
Ji Lin leaned against the sofa, staring at Lu Shiman's gossipy back, the corners of his mouth never lowered.
Lu Chixu became more and more angry as he spoke: "I think you have lived a good life for too long. If you don't take money as your own, what are you worth..."
"Big brother makes money every day, he's as busy as a dog, no, busier than a dog, but you..."
Lu Yannan happened to open the door of the study, and Lu Chixu's words happened to reach his ears.
The moment the eldest brother was seen, the corridor fell into silence.
Lu Qijun opened the door and came out, glanced at his brothers lightly, and walked straight to the guest room arranged for Ji Linshen.
He walked slowly, but every step was inexplicably firm, and no one knew what he was so firm about.
Walking to the door of the guest room, Lu Qijun raised his hand and knocked on the door.
One second...
Ten seconds...
Thirty seconds...
Time passed little by little, but there was no response from inside the door.
Lu Qiyun grasped the door handle and opened the guest room door.
There's no one inside!
Lu Qiyun's face turned dark instantly and he turned to look at his brothers not far away.
"Watch out for thieves!"
