Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband - Chapter 1697
1697 Repaying Grudges With Kindness
Third Brother tried his best to calm down, but for some reason, he stuttered.
“Is this Lu Weijian’s first day managing the family? Is it worth your special visit?”
His tone was calm, but every word sounded oppressive to Third Brother Huo.
He wiped his sweat and said, “I’m just afraid that Mr. Weijian will be summoned back by the Lu family one day.”
!!
“You knew that Lu Weijian would be summoned back, so why did you specifically bring it up?”
Third Brother Huo fell into a trap and was at a loss for words.
In his anger, Old Master Lu had not thought about this question seriously before. Now, he realized that Third Brother Huo had other motives for looking for him.
He didn’t want Lu Weijian to stay with the Huo family! He didn’t want Lu Weijian to manage the Huo family!
Old Master Lu sighed in shame. He was no longer angry at Lu Weijian. Instead, he was angry at Third Brother Huo.
Lu Heting looked at the butler and said, “Butler, please call the casino at the north gate of the capital and tell them that Third Brother Huo is at the entrance of the Lu family’s mansion.”
Third Brother Huo panicked!
How did Lu Heting know that he still owed that casino millions?
No, Lu Heting was pushing him to his death!
He originally wanted Old Master Lu to detain Lu Weijian and take advantage of the situation to steal money from the Huo family’s family business. Otherwise, the people from that casino would break his legs!
That casino had originally given him a few more days because of the Huo family’s reputation.
However, if they knew that he was thrown out by the Lu family, it would be embarrassing!
When Third Brother Huo thought it through, he was stunned. “Mr. Lu, I know I was wrong. Don’t throw me out! Mr. Lu, I beg you! Mr. Lu!”
Lu Heting was unmoved.
He dared to come over to provoke Old Master Lu and achieve his personal desires in front of him. Why should he keep such a person?
“Mr. Lu, Mr. Weijian and I are from the same family. We share the same bloodline…” Third Brother Huo burst into tears.
However, how could he play tricks on the Lu family’s mansion?
The butler had already made the call according to Lu Heting’s instructions. He came forward with dozens of bodyguards and dragged Third Brother Huo out!
Third Brother Huo was filled with regret, but there was nothing he could do.
The Lu family’s mansion was big enough, so his voice quickly disappeared.
Silence returned to the living room.
Old Madam Lu quickly supported Old Master Lu and said, “I told you not to be angry. Why did such a small matter make you so angry? Fortunately, Heting is here.”
“Grandma, even if I wasn’t around, Grandpa would’ve soon realized Third Brother Huo’s true motive.” Lu Heting’s grandparents had raised him, so his attitude toward them was gentle but respectful.
Old Master Lu snorted. “Is Lu Weijian being brought back?”
Even though he knew that someone wanted to use him to take Lu Weijian away from the Huo family’s company, he still had to do it!
Because the Huo family did not deserve a child like Lu Weijian to stay and take care of the family business!
“Look at you…” Old Madam Lu was still complaining about him.
Lu Heting didn’t say anything else. No one could fix Old Master Lu’s obsession for the time being.
Fu Yujia, who was sitting at the side, gripped her teacup tightly. Although this matter had nothing to do with her, she was still shocked.
The fate of Third Brother Huo seemed to remind her of something.
It seemed like an example meant to deter others.
She pursed her lips and said goodbye without saying anything else.
Perhaps during this period of time, her defeats in the battles with Nirvana Entertainment had already worn down her spirit and let her know how insignificant she was.
Even so, she had not stopped coming to the Lu family. It was mostly because the Fu family still needed the Lu family.
Su Bei was very calm the whole time.
As the person sharing the same bed as Lu Heting, she had seen his decisive methods too many times.
It was fine if others took the initiative to offend Lu Heting, but if they offended someone he cared about, it was no different from walking into a lion’s den.
Of course, no one would dare to offend Lu Heting.
A moment later, Lu Weijian was brought back.
He was nearly tied up by them.
Lu Weijian cried, “What are you doing? You scared me to death! I thought I was being kidnapped! Can’t you show me some respect? How am I going to face others in the future if you do this to me in front of so many people?”
“Shut up!” Old Master Lu said angrily. “Kneel!”
Lu Weijian glanced at Lu Heting and then at Su Bei. He immediately understood that his matter had been exposed!
Without a word, he knelt down and fell in front of Old Master Lu.
Unfortunately, this did not eliminate Old Master Lu’s anger.
He reached out and slapped Lu Weijian. “What did I teach you when you were young? Have you forgotten how the Huo family treated your mother and you? It won’t be a pity even if the Huo family goes bankrupt a hundred times! Anyway, they’re all trash. Just let those branch families of the Huo family distribute the trash that’s there! Why are you interfering?! What’s there for you to interfere?!”
Lu Weijian didn’t say anything after being slapped.
Old Master Lu raised his hand again, but he could not bring himself to do it.
He sighed. “If the Huo family had any conscience, they wouldn’t have made your mother suffer so much when she was pregnant back then. Do you know how hard it was for your mother? She was pregnant and still had to watch your father cheat on her. And no one in the entire Huo family spoke up for her. They even made her endure it. This was how she became depressed! If she hadn’t stopped me back then, I would have burned the Huo family down! I would’ve beaten Huo Ye to death long ago!”
Lu Weijian didn’t say anything. He knew all this.
He had no parents since he was young, so he called Han Qingwan his mother and Old Master Lu his grandfather. He was raised by the Lu family.
Old Master Lu said, “How can you repay grudges with kindness? Ah, tell me!”
Lu Weijian raised his head after a while, his eyes red. “That’s why I want to prove to the Huo family that it’s their fault for not wanting me!”
“You!” Old Master Lu was angry again. “A child from the Lu family doesn’t need to prove anything! Anyone with the surname Lu is an existence they can’t afford to offend! Why do you have to be humble?!”
“Anyway, I want to do it!”
Old Master Lu said, “Alright. Butler, lock him upstairs, and don’t let him come down!”
“Grandpa, if you do this, those branch families of the Huo family will be happy. Without me to control them, they’ll empty that family.”
“So be it. There’s no need for that family to exist anyway. Besides, don’t you think it’s embarrassing for you to manage it with Huo Zhong?! I’m ashamed of you just listening to all this! When that family is emptied, you can come out again!” Old Master Lu did not allow any explanation.
