578 Do You Need His Money to Live?
“It’s not a big deal. Brother, I haven’t been in charge of the company’s affairs for long. I’ve rarely been able to think things through these two days. I’ve read some documents and seen the project you want to participate in recently,” Lu Feng smiled. His expression was gentle as if he had returned to the high-spirited age of just over twenty. At that time, he was still the future heir of the Lu family. He had a happy family, was a young and talented man, and was outstanding in the business. He was proud of his success. He smiled and said to Lu Guo, “I think this project is too big and risky. It’s equivalent to all the funds of the Lu family being frozen. I advise you to think twice before you act.” With that, he didn’t stay any longer and opened the door to leave.
“Why do I feel uncle is different from before?” Lu Shaoyang was stunned for a while. He reached for the red packet and muttered, “100,000 yuan isn’t a lot, but did my second uncle have a son before? I…”
“Don’t take it! What’s the point of taking Lu Feng’s money? Do you need his money to live?” Before Lu Shaoyang could open the red packet, Lu Guo roared in anger. With a crisp sound, Lu Guo slapped the back of Lu Shaoyang’s hand. Then, he snatched the red packet and threw it away. 100,000 yuan did not seem like a lot of money now. But more than a decade ago, it was a huge sum, especially since it was the same amount as the one-month-old gift he had given Lu Shaolin!
“Dad, what are you doing?” Lu Shaoyang was shocked. He felt a burning pain on the back of his hand. He couldn’t help but raise his voice.
Mrs. Lu spoke, “That’s enough. Your dad has his reasons for doing this,” She looked a little uneasy, so she tried to comfort Lu Shaoyang and urged him, “go upstairs and read your books. Mom will compensate you for the 100,000 yuan. Don’t take your second uncle’s money. ” Then, she pushed Lu Shaoyang gently.
Lu Shaoyang was confused, but he knew his parents could not answer his questions. So, he could only head upstairs with a sullen face.
Downstairs, Mrs. Lu was restless, “Lu Guo, do you think Lu Feng has found something? Why did he suddenly act like this? What did that 100,000 yuan mean? We didn’t do it on purpose back then.”
“So what if he found something?” Lu Guo’s gaze was ruthless as he sneered, “more than ten years have passed, and the prosecution period has expired. What can he do? If Lu Feng had any substantial evidence, he would have already taken us to court. Why would he need to test us here?” After he finished speaking, he saw Mrs. Lu’s fearful expression and couldn’t help but reprimand, “what are you panicking for? Calm down. Don’t let Lu Feng get what he wants!”
So what if Lu Feng discovered they had something to do with his wife and son’s mishaps? Now that the Lu family was in his hands, Lu Feng still had to rely on him for a living. Would he be willing to give up his life of luxury and offend his brother? Putting himself in Lu Feng’s shoes, he felt that Lu Feng would be reluctant to do so. Lu Guo’s confidence grew, and he gradually calmed down. He sneered and continued, “I think Lu Feng’s just trying to be mysterious to make us afraid.” What did he mean by giving the same amount of money and saying ambiguous words? What could he do about it? He didn’t want to take things to the extreme back then. It was the mother and son’s fate that wasn’t good. That was why one died, and the other was injured. They deserved it.
“What about the project Lu Feng mentioned? Do you plan to continue?” Mrs. Luu had also calmed down a little. However, when she recalled Lu Feng’s words before he left, she was still a little worried, “actually, what Lu Feng said is quite right. we can’t just throw all our money into this project.” Just the fact that a project was tied up with all the company’s funds was enough to make one’s heart jump. What if something happened to the project?
“What do you know? Women always have long hair but short wit,” Lu Guo sneered disdainfully, “of course not! The greater the investment, the higher the return. Once this project is successful, who would dare to look down on our Lu family? Our Lu family’s status in S City would be higher!”
Mrs. Lu couldn’t help but click her tongue at this. The return was indeed frighteningly high!
“It’s not only the return from the project but also various connections and resources. This project is related to… ” Lu Guo’s expression was smug. He extended his finger and pointed upwards in a suggestive manner. At first, he was also very hesitant. After all, he had invested too much money, and the risks were too high. However, he was even more determined to do this now that Lu Feng had stopped him.
