Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband - Chapter 1699

1699 Do You Have Any Humanity?

The butler smiled. “I’m old and can’t sleep. It’s my honor to take care of you, Mr. Weijian.”

Lu Weijian: “…”

Huo Zhong: “!!!”

Lu Weijian ate quickly.

!!
Only then did the butler leave.

Huo Zhong came out from under the bed, feeling depressed.

“Rest here before leaving. The butler might not be asleep yet.”

Huo Zhong: “!!!”

If Lu Weijian wanted to eat, so be it. But couldn’t he have saved some food for himself?

…

Su Bei was also a little worried about Lu Weijian. “Hubby, do we really not have to persuade Grandpa to let Lu Weijian out?”

“This stems from Grandpa’s obsession. It’s useless to persuade him,” Lu Heting said lightly. “I’m afraid they have to resolve the problem between them themselves.”

Su Bei thought about it and agreed. From Old Master Lu’s perspective, he was justified in hating the Huo family.

If someone treated her daughter like that, she might have the same reaction as the old master.

Lu Heting reached out and pulled her back. “Have breakfast first. It’s good training for Huo Zhong to try managing the family alone.”

“I’m just afraid Huo Zhong will run away.”

“He’s already invested so much energy into it. He can’t bear to run away now.”

It had to be said that Lu Heting knew human nature very well. He had seen through Huo Zhong and Lu Weijian’s thoughts clearly.

Neither of them could bear to part with the Huo family’s business now.

The cost of giving up was too high.

…

In the end, Huo Zhong was locked up in Lu Weijian’s room for the entire night.

After the butler delivered supper, he couldn’t fall back asleep again. He took the watering can and went to the front yard to water the flowers.

Lu Weijian’s room was facing the front yard, so Huo Zhong was trapped.

After being sent to the sofa by Lu Weijian for the night, he woke up in the morning with a sore back.

However, he didn’t manage to leave even after waking up early because the security guards’ line of sight was much better than at night.

Huo Zhong’s sneaky methods in the middle of the night were useless!

He scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.

Lu Weijian, on the other hand, was carefree. Since he was already locked up to begin with, he was prepared to be locked up.

He didn’t mind having someone to accompany him.

“Lu Weijian! Have you lost your humanity? Hurry up and find a way to get me out!”

“Who told you to come here? Did I tell you to come? Since you came by yourself, think of a way to get out!”

Huo Zhong raised his fist. “Believe it or not, I’ll beat you up!”

“If you have the ability, come and beat me up!”

“Don’t come looking for trouble with me if I beat you to death!”

“So be it. Let’s make a life-and-death bet!” Lu Weijian was stubborn!

“Come on, give it a try!”

“I’ll give it a try!”

A moment later, Huo Zhong took out his phone. “Do you want to go first or should I?”

A moment later, the two of them started playing games!

They played until the afternoon.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door in a hurry.

“Mr. Weijian, something has happened. Old Master wants you to come down.”

Lu Weijian stood up and said to Huo Zhong, “Since something has happened in the Lu family, the security might be lax later. Go down through the window. The defense in the north is relatively weak. Leave from the north!”

With that, he hurried out.

Old Master Lu’s expression today was not as gloomy as yesterday. There was a faint smile on his face.

Lu Weijian relaxed a little and followed the servant downstairs. He smiled and asked, “Grandpa, what are you so happy about?”

“Come and sit down.” For the first time, Old Master Lu smiled at him. He was no longer the fierce old man from yesterday who got people to forcefully bring Lu Weijian home.

For a moment, Lu Weijian didn’t understand the old master’s intentions. He walked over with a timid expression, wondering if the old master would let him go or do something fiercer. Was it just the calm before the storm?

Just as he was feeling bewildered, Old Madam Lu pulled him to her side and patted his hand with a smile. “Your mother is coming back!”

“My mother is coming back? Didn’t she go away to recuperate? Is she coming back from the temple?” Lu Weijian asked excitedly.

Since Han Qingwan was coming back, she could at least help say a few words on his behalf. Perhaps Grandpa would change his mind!

This was great!

“Where’s my mother?” Lu Weijian asked hurriedly.

Old Madam Lu held his hand. “It’s not Han Qingwan. It’s Lu Yaolan.”

“Who?” Lu Weijian was stunned.

Then, he realized that he was not Han Qingwan’s child. He called her ‘Mom, but she was not his real mother.

He was still Lu Yaolan’s child.

However, he had never seen Lu Yaolan in his life, let alone had any feelings for her.

For a moment, his excitement subsided.

On the other hand, when Old Madam Lu heard that her daughter was coming back, she kept crying and smiling.

Perhaps because she was excited, she kept holding Lu Weijian’s hand. She said, “Lan’er is finally coming back. She’s been gone for more than 20 years. I’ve been looking for her and missing her all these years. I just wanted to take a look at her. But she’s too ambitious and always refused to come back. I’ve missed her so much. She’s finally willing to come back. Weijian, your mother is coming back.”

Lu Weijian replied, “Oh.”

He couldn’t imagine what Lu Yaolan was like. Although there were many photos at home, they were all of her when she was young. Lu Weijian couldn’t imagine what his mother was like.

He could not empathize with Old Madam Lu.

Old Master Lu stood up and looked at the door again and again.

Lu Weijian’s expression darkened as he asked, “Why is she coming back now?”

She abandoned him after giving birth and did not care about anything else. Although it was because of the Huo family and her sickness, in Lu Weijian’s opinion, these reasons were not easy for him to accept.

Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu could understand how difficult it was for her. Outsiders also knew how difficult it was for her.

But what about him?

“She’s a member of the Lu family, after all. Isn’t it normal for her to come back?” Old Madam Lu originally thought that her daughter was no longer in this world and had already expected the worst.

Now that she suddenly heard the news, how could she not be excited?

After all, she was her daughter!

Old Madam Lu continued, “Jiajia called me this morning and said that she saw Lan’er at the airport and persuaded her to come back. I didn’t dare to believe it at first, but after Jiajia’s persuasion, Lan’er decided to come. Jiajia is really our family’s lucky star! I told you that the child was good. She’s really good!”

“Oh,” Lu Weijian said indifferently.

Old Master Lu said to the butler, “Have you prepared the dishes I asked you to prepare? Have you gone to the kitchen?”

“The preparations are all done. I’ll check on the food again.” The butler hurriedly walked in the direction of the kitchen.

“Why don’t you go and change your clothes? Go, go!” Old Master Lu said to Lu Weijian, “Why did you come down in your pajamas? You don’t look decent at all!”
