Chapter 362 – I will take good care of Daddy! (1)
“You tricked me??” Old Mr. Shen’s eyes widened and his body trembled from anger. Pointing at Lu Shaoyan with his trembling finger, he said to him, “Can you even hear yourself talking?”
Lu Shaoyan was not bothered by him at all. “The student has exceeded the master. Old man, you need to understand the fact that you are getting old. Don’t you always tell the younger generations to always have patience and should not rush things? So why is it that you are so impulsive when it comes to Lu Beichuan?” Leaning close to Old Mr. Shen, Lu Shaoyan whispered into his ear in volume that was only audible to the two of them and said, “Isn’t this scene familiar to you?”
Old Mr. Shen might be old, but his eyes, under his wrinkly eyelids, were still sharp-looking. “Whatever do you mean by that?”
“I handed you a knife and you just took my words for it. Isn’t this just like how you had handed the knife to my father ten or so years ago?”
Lu Shaoyan took half a step back. The smile disappeared from him, and he looked at Old Mr. Shen gloomily.
Old Mr. Shen was rattled greatly. “You… You…”
“Oh, don’t be so surprised. Yes, I’ve learned of the truth.” He lowered his eyes, smiled, and shrugged. A vicious look came from his narrow eyes. Like a wolf that had been lurking for the longest time, hHe finally bared his sharp teeth at the perfect moment. “You are just as stupid as my father was!”
When he was done talking, he paid no more attention to the panting old man who was supported by his butler and walked away.
The old man was so tricky that he had to wait patiently for two years for his perfect opportunity.
Besides, Old Master Lu had just passed away and Lu Beichuan would not rush to take care of a family friend. The delicate balance between the Lu and Shen families might seem perfect but, in reality, it was annoying.
And now, the two of them could go and fight each other.
Old Mr. Shen was still stupefied even after Lu Shaoyan had left. With one hand over his cane and the other holding onto his butler’s hand, he asked in disbelief, “What did he mean by that? Whatever did he mean by that?”
The butler frowned and said in a solemn tone, “Old Sir, I’m afraid what happened back in the days is going to come out!”
Old Mr. Shen sneered. “What happened back in the days? Tell me. What happened back in those days?”
The butler remained silent.
“This scumbag dared to set me up! Who does he think he is?!”
He had failed to notice Lu Shaoyan’s ambition and had been led into a trap. All the way until he had antagonized Lu Beichuan.
Old Mr. Shen looked in the direction that Lu Shaoyan had left from and narrowed his eyes.
Did Lu Shaoyan really think he was so old that he had lost his mind? He wanted him to sever his relationship with Lu Beichuan so he could benefit from it? In his dreams!
Old Mr. Shen gritted his teeth and sneered. He felt unreconciled for being tricked by someone his junior.
“Let’s go, Lao Chen. Let’s go talk to Lu Beichuan.”
Lao Chen quickly supported him and the two of them walked toward the office.
Lu Beichuan had lunch delivered into the office. It was already past 1 PM. It didn’t matter to him if he skipped lunch, but Ye Zhen needed to eat.
“Why were there cops in the office?”
“Eat your lunch first.”
Ye Zhen did not take the bowl and chopsticks that Lu Beichuan had handed over to her. She only stared at him and asked, “Did you know ahead of time that Old Mr. Shen was going to be here today and arranged for the cops to be here?”
Lu Beichuan said nothing.
Ye Zhen assumed that was a yes.
“You never tell me anything.” The sick feeling in her stomach finally started to subside. Grumbling, she picked up the chopsticks. “The Lu and Shen families had been family friends for generations. How could he join forces with Lu Shaoyan against you?”
She knew full well that Lu Beichuan would not have committed those crimes. Besides, even if he did, he wouldn’t leave a trail of evidence behind that could be easily obtained by others. She worried more that Lu Shaoyan and Old Mr. Shen, in cahoots with each other, would do something shady and falsely accuse him.
The shameless ones were always the difficult ones to deal with.
