Outside the door, Lu Shiyun leaned on his walking stick and stood with a dark expression. The butler followed behind him. Both of them looked at the tightly shut door and heard voices coming from inside the door. The butler said, "… Master, do you need me to go in and talk to her?"
"No need."
Lu Shiyun quickly replied. He waved his hand without any expression on his face and ordered coldly, "Don't let Yihan see her. Let her stay in this room and don't miss out on her three meals a day. Give her good food and a good place to stay, but don't let her out. Do you understand?"
The butler had been with Lu Shiyun for most of his life, so how could he not know what he was thinking? He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Master, I understand. Then … let her be. If her willpower is strong enough, then the child in her stomach may not be affected by the pressure …"
"She will be under a lot of pressure if she is locked up for a week. She is not in the early stages of pregnancy now. She has had an abortion before, so her body is naturally weak. The possibility of a miscarriage is the highest."
Lu Shiyun gestured for the butler to stop talking. He frowned and suddenly asked, "Xin Yu hasn't come back in the past two days?"
"… That day, someone saw Eldest Young Master … leaving the hotel with Young Mistress. After that, the two of them were never seen again. Eldest Young Master probably didn't go to the company either."
Lu Shiyun's eyes suddenly darkened. He gripped the walking stick in his hand and snorted coldly. "No one saw them, but I know they are together! They are getting more and more unscrupulous. It seems that I can't tolerate them being so lawless anymore! Go back and send a message to England. Tell them that I want to prepare for my 50th birthday in advance. It just so happens that Fan Gang is in D City this time, so I can ask his mother to come back. "
The steward was naturally a shrewd person. With just a few words from Lu Shiyun, how could he not know what he was thinking? He immediately nodded. "Yes, Master, I understand. I'll go back and inform England."
He paused and couldn't help but ask, "… Then, will there be any problems with Madam's side?"
At the mention of Li Muhua, Lu Shiyun's face darkened. "What right does she have to have a problem? She can't even handle her own affairs well and only knows how to cause trouble for me all day long. I didn't settle the score with her because her surname is Li. I will explain this matter to her later. Didn't she secretly contact Ma Yingmin before? This time, the Fan Gang suddenly went to England because of her. "
The butler just nodded and didn't say anything.
Lu Shiyun took a deep breath and massaged his throbbing temples. He shook his head and said, "… Too many things have happened recently. I feel like my bones are failing again."
The butler hurriedly comforted him, "… Master, you have to take care of your health. As for the other matters, if possible, you can leave them to me."
"I know what I'm doing —"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a slender figure walking towards them from the end of the long corridor. Lu Shiyun could tell that it was Lu Yihan. He hurriedly waved his hand and gestured for the butler to leave. After the butler left, Lu Yihan was already in front of him.
"I'm here to see Ruoruo."
The two of them had been together for many years. Even though they were separated for a while, he didn't change the way he addressed Lan Ruoran. Lu Yihan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He was used to calling her that. However, Lu Shiyun was obviously very dissatisfied. He glanced at his son and muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "You don't have to see her for the time being. I have something to discuss with you. Come with me."
Lu Yihan was speechless.
Lan Ruoran's pregnancy test report was quickly received when she arrived at the hospital two days ago. She was indeed pregnant. Lu Yihan really felt that it was unbelievable. At the same time, he also felt that the heavens were playing with him. Why couldn't she get pregnant at any time? It just had to be at this time. He knew very well that after Lan Ruoran had been with him, she hadn't been with another man. And now that she was pregnant, this child had to be his.
But … his heart was in a mess. He had never been too ruthless with women. Moreover, this woman had been by his side for so many years. Even if his feelings for her had faded, he still couldn't be too cold-blooded.
Lu Yihan that outsiders didn't know — he was indeed never a cold person. His complicated and not warm family had created his arrogant and conceited personality. But who didn't have a soft spot in their heart?
He had been thinking about this problem for the past two days — the child.
What should he do with Lan Ruoran's child?
And today, he hadn't really thought it through. He just felt that it wasn't right to leave her alone, so he wanted to come and see her. Now that Lu Shiyun said that he had something to discuss with him, his heart was in a mess. He didn't go in and directly followed Lu Shiyun into the room next door.
As soon as the door closed, Lu Shiyun took the initiative to ask him, "Have you finished the project that I asked you to terminate the contract with the Han Family?"
Lu Yihan froze for a moment. Previously, when he made a bet with Qin Fangang, he signed the contract with Han Yifeng. At the time, he found Han Yifeng's younger brother to act as a lobbyist. He knew that the old man had always been wary of any involvement with government officials. But at the time, in order to win against Qin Fangang, he couldn't care less and signed the contract. After that, Lu Shiyun did indeed look for him and asked him to terminate the contract. He even said that he would pay three times the penalty for breaching the contract.
But Lu Yihan didn't quite agree with this. In the past, he didn't care about company matters. Now that he was serious about Qin Fangang, he began to seriously deal with the project. Actually, he didn't have much interest in the Lu Clan. He didn't lack money, power, and status since he was young, so he didn't have much of a desire for these things. But no matter what, he still understood that so what if the Lu Clan signed a contract with the government? Wouldn't the profits be better?
Moreover, even if Han Yifeng became the Municipal Party Committee Secretary in the future, it would still be very beneficial for the Lu Clan.
Which businessman didn't want to have connections with government officials?
So when Lu Shiyun told him about it with a serious expression, he didn't take it to heart. Now that he heard him mention it, Lu Yihan frowned. "… I don't understand. Why must we terminate the contract? Moreover, the penalty for breaching the contract is three times the normal amount. No matter how rich the Lu Clan is, they don't need to squander it like this. Also, the Han family isn't a problem at all. To Han Yifeng, signing the contract with that piece of land is also beneficial to him. When the time comes for him to run for office, the Lu Clan will support him fully. He has the highest chance of becoming the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. I've already analyzed it. Why shouldn't we do it? "
When Lu Shiyun heard this, he knew that he hadn't terminated the contract. He instantly flew into a rage. "I told you to terminate the contract, so you did it. How many times have I said it before? The Lu Clan doesn't need to work with anyone from the government. You're my son. Can't you remember this?"
"That depends on whether your words are good for the Lu Clan!"
Lu Yihan looked indignant. "I don't think there's a problem. Besides, I don't want to lose to Qin Fangang for no reason. Also, didn't Qin Fangang sign the contract with the Su family's Su Junyan when he brought Xin Yu to work on the project? Isn't the Su family also involved in politics? "
"That's different. The Su family's piece of land is Su Junyan's private property. It doesn't belong to the entire Su family. Besides, Su Junyan himself doesn't have much to do with the government. He's not running for the next Municipal Party Committee Secretary. "
"…"
Lu Yihan really couldn't understand why Lu Shiyun was so opposed to this project. However, at this time, he wasn't interested in arguing over such a project. Too many things had happened recently, and he had long forgotten about the project. He wasn't in the mood to talk about it now.
"… You asked me to come with you just to talk about this?"
Seeing his impatient expression, Lu Shiyun flew into a rage. He slammed his walking stick on the coffee table in front of him and said sternly, "Yihan, let me tell you, you have to do this well. There won't be much time before the election. I've told you before that the Lu family doesn't want anything to do with the government. Go and terminate the contract with the Han family tomorrow. Our Lu family will pay three times the penalty."
"But …"
"No buts."
Lu Shiyun interrupted Lu Yihan and said, "Originally, I wanted to announce something on our fifth wedding anniversary, but Lan Ruoran messed it up. However, I plan to hold my 50th birthday celebration in advance. When the time comes, I'll announce at the birthday banquet that all the shares of the Lu Clan under my name will be transferred to you."
Lu Yihan was stunned, thinking that he didn't understand. "… All the shares of the Lu Clan? Then you … Qin Fangang, he … "
"Although Fan Gang is now the CEO of the Lu Clan, he doesn't have as many shares as you do."
Lu Shiyun looked at Lu Yihan and sighed softly. At this moment, there was a hint of a father's expectations for his son in his eyes.
"Yihan, you should also know that in my heart, your position is irreplaceable. So I promised you before that the Lu Clan will be yours. In about two months, you have to finish the projects you have on hand. I will find someone to help you in the meantime. When the time comes, I will let you sit on the throne of the Lu Clan's CEO in glory. "
Lu Yihan was stunned again. There wasn't the slightest hint of joy on his handsome face. Instead, there was a hint of confusion. He frowned and looked at Lu Shiyun. "… What do you mean by this? You're going to give the Lu Clan to me? Then why did you insist that Qin Fangang come back from the UK in the first place? It's been so long, but I haven't seen you acknowledge his ancestors. "
Although Lu Yihan disliked Qin Fangang very much, he wasn't an unreasonable person.
He knew very well that some things couldn't be changed — for example, blood relations.
No matter how much he didn't want to admit it, Qin Fangang was his biological half-brother. He didn't like Qin Fangang, but in his heart, he silently approved of his business acumen.
"I told you to learn well from him. In fact, ever since Fan Gang came back, you've made a lot of progress."
Lu Shiyun shrugged disapprovingly. He lowered his voice and said, "You just have to cooperate with me on this matter. Cancel the contract with the Han family's project first. After that, I will help you settle the bet between you and Fan Gang. Yihan, I told you before that you are my son. I won't treat you unfairly. "
Lu Yihan's thick brows furrowed even tighter. "So what you're saying is that Qin Fangang isn't your son?"
