The word "b * stard" caused the entire room to fall silent.
These two words also caused Lu Shaoyan to lose the rationality that he was so proud of.
Old Master Lu looked at him with an extremely sorrowful expression. "How can you think like that? Don't tell me that you still can't understand how much I've cared for you all these years?"
"Care?" Lu Shaoyan seemed to have heard something extremely funny. "If you really cared about her, why didn't you go and find her yourself?"
Old Master Lu was filled with regret at the mention of the past.
He had married three wives in his life. The first one was a woman of equal social status to him in order to consolidate his position in the Lu Family. That woman's family was enough to support him in taking over the Lu Clan.
Unfortunately, not long after, his first wife died in childbirth.
His second wife had a one-night stand with him. Similarly, her family's power was not to be underestimated.
But his second wife died five years later due to illness.
It wasn't until he took full control of the Lu Clan that he met his third wife.
At that time, it was rumored that the president of the Lu Clan would bring bad luck to his wife. No one from a prestigious family dared to marry him, and ordinary families looked down on him.
The woman's name was Gu You. When they first met, she introduced herself as "Excellent" and would become the most outstanding employee of the Lu Clan.
At that time, there was a nineteen year age gap between him and Gu You.
Later on, feelings blossomed over time, and he was able to freely choose his partner.
Soon after, Lu Shaoyan was born.
He and Gu You lived a happy and blissful life together for more than ten years.
At that moment, Old Master Lu couldn't raise his head because of Lu Shaoyan's question. He couldn't explain.
"You said that you loved her, but your love was so cheap. You let her go abroad with the reputation of having an affair, and I became a b * stard. Do you know how heartless you were at that time?"
Old Master Lu clenched his fists. Everything in the past flashed back and forth in his mind at that moment.
Gu You was caught red-handed committing adultery. The paternity test revealed that Lu Shaoyan wasn't his biological son. At that time, he was blinded by anger and believed the so-called evidence given to him by his subordinates. He couldn't accept that the person he shared the same bed with had ulterior motives and that the son that he loved didn't have his own blood.
"Even if you later found out that it was a villain, that it was the person closest to you who betrayed you, so what? She didn't want to step into this land where you are. She hates you, do you know that? She didn't want to hear your name, and she didn't want to hear about you, her, or anything about you! She told me to come back. I've known that you have cancer for a long time. I've seen your symptoms, but so what? You'll die sooner or later. Instead of being tortured under those instruments in the hospital for a year or two, it's better to die comfortably in a few months! " Lu Shaoyan took a deep breath. "But even so, you weren't willing to hand over the Lu Clan to me before you died. Instead, you gave me all the real estate under your name."
"What do I want that money for?" Lu Shaoyan looked at him in surprise and suddenly became irritable. "I want the Lu Clan. I want to see all the things that you cherish die with my own eyes!"
Old Master Lu looked at Lu Shaoyan in silence. He listened to him quietly and looked at him.
Lu Shaoyan panted and suddenly looked out the window. His tone instantly dropped and was very calm. To be more precise, it sounded like he was murmuring, "So what if you gave her all those overseas assets? She didn't want them. You didn't look for her in the past, so why do you still want to bother her now and in the future?"
Old Master Lu clenched his fists and tried his best to calm his emotions, but his hands were still trembling violently.
His body seemed to be uncomfortable somewhere. His head drooped down and he broke out in a cold sweat. With great difficulty, he asked, "Your mother, she … she hates me?"
"Do you still need to ask?" Lu Shaoyan turned around and looked at him coldly. "You don't trust her. You made her lose her dignity and forced her to leave the country. You're afraid that she'll embarrass you if she stays in the country, aren't you?"
"No … It's not like that …" Old Master Lu seemed to want to raise his head, but no matter how hard he struggled, it was futile. His fists were clenched tightly. He wanted to say something, but all the words were stuck in his throat. It was as though someone was strangling his throat. He forced out a few incoherent words. "Shao … Shaoyan, Dad was just … just …"
He couldn't seem to catch his breath. Before Old Master Lu could finish speaking, his face twisted from the intense pain. He groaned heavily and his head hung down heavily.
Lu Shaoyan's hands trembled. He stared at Old Master Lu. "You know why I came back. You know it."
Old Master Lu didn't move.
"I can't accept it. I really can't accept it," Lu Shaoyan muttered. "I'll never forget the way you called me a bastard and told me to get lost. I'll also never forget everything I suffered abroad. It's all your fault. It's all your fault!"
Lu Shaoyan staggered towards the door. When his hand reached for the door handle, he paused for a moment and turned around to look at Old Master Lu, who was sitting in his wheelchair with his head bowed.
The old man was seriously ill and wouldn't have many good days ahead of him. Perhaps in a few more days, Old Master Lu would no longer exist in this world.
As his son, he would worship him, but he would never remember him.
