After Old Master Lu finished speaking, everyone present had different expressions on their faces. Many people's faces turned red and white, and they had mixed feelings. There was no other reason. Their grandchildren had yet to be born, but the heir had already been decided.
There were also some who were relatively calm. After all, Chi Cheng was Lu Jingyan's eldest son, and Lu Jingyan was Lu Wenyuan's only son. Even if the law also stipulated that the first in line of succession was the parents of the children. There was no suspense about Chi Cheng becoming the heir, and it was within their expectations. They had to face reality. After Lu Wenyuan's division, the inheritance of the Lu family business was getting further and further away from them.
Chi Ying didn't expect Chi Cheng to be accepted so quickly, and a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes.
Chi Cheng didn't understand Old Master Lu's words. He blinked his big confused eyes, trying to find an answer. However, the solemn atmosphere at the dining table made him swallow the questions he had in his mind.
Chi Cheng didn't know where to put his hands and feet, so he imitated Lu Jingyan, finished his breakfast, and sat quietly. He listened to the adults speak one after another in a gentle and slow manner.
In the past two days, Lu Jingyan's expression was very indifferent, much more indifferent than when he usually faced him and his mother.
Chi Cheng looked at him out of the corner of his eye and was satisfied for a while. Sure enough, he was the one who made his father happy. Even his father's family couldn't compare to him.
On Old Master Lu's face, there was a kind smile from beginning to end, as if to convey, "Today, I'm in a good mood. If you don't want to spoil the mood, please don't talk so much."
At the same time, majesty and fierceness flashed across his eyes, and with a hint of deterrence, he said, "As long as I'm here, I'll have the final say on who inherits the Lu family business. Don't talk so much."
No matter what the younger generation understood, the outcome was the same, so they were all silent. Some people began to look at Chi Cheng with a hint of flattery.
Finally, the breakfast ended in silence.
Chi Cheng was preparing to go to kindergarten. Auntie Wen took out his schoolbag from the room with his textbooks and stationery. Chi Cheng carried his schoolbag and said goodbye to the elders with a serious face.
Chi Ying was also preparing to set off. Her schedule was quite full today. She had to accept an interview in the morning and shoot an advertisement for the endorsement product in the afternoon. Because there were many people in the Lu residence, there was no lack of small talk and social interactions. Time was tight, so she had already put on her makeup before breakfast. Now, she only needed to touch up her lip gloss.
Chi Ying still remembered that when the alarm rang in the morning, it was the first time she had the thought of staying in bed. Her limbs were soft as if they didn't belong to her. Her lower abdomen was sore and swollen as if it was cramping. The man sleeping soundly beside her still had a handsome and harmless face. This made her feel as if a lifetime had passed. He swore to himself that he would not do anything else tonight.
On the other hand, Lu Jingyan's parents were very compassionate. Considering that Lu Jingyan had not recovered from his serious illness, they strictly forbade him from going to work.
Lu Jingyan used the excuse that it was difficult for him to mediate with the elders and wanted to go out to relax, so he naturally sent them off.
Chi Ying's team received the notice early in the morning and directly waited for Chi Ying at the company. They did not come to pick her up.
Chi Cheng sat with his back straight for the whole night and the whole morning. His body was stiff and numb, and he felt that his whole body was not good.
From the moment he stepped into the car, he was out of the Lu family's surveillance. His whole body was soft like mud. He collapsed in the back seat and muttered, "Tired, so tired."
Lu Jingyan knew what kind of pressure it meant to take over the Lu Corporation. Looking at Chi Cheng's small and soft body, he actually felt a little sorry for him. He hoped that his childhood would be easy and happy, without so many restrictions.
Thinking of this, Lu Jingyan gently frowned and patted Chi Cheng comfortingly. "If you're tired, rest for a while."
Chi Cheng slightly raised his head and met Lu Jingyan's doting eyes. He thought that his father was still the best. He looked cold, but was actually very gentle. He was not like those adults who restrained him so much. He looked strict, but he was really strict. He finally found an opportunity to ask, "Dad, what is the heir?"
"Inherit the family business and take over my management of the Ou Shi Group in the future." Lu Jingyan said, "Although great-grandfather said so, everything is still according to your wishes. We'll see what you really like when you grow up and then make a decision. "
Chi Ying's heart was moved when she heard this. She knew how much Lu Jingyan had done for the Ou Shi Group. If possible, he definitely did not want to give up his painstaking efforts. However, it was precisely because he was leading such a large group that he understood the pressure and hardships that he did not want to force Chi Cheng to bear so much. Lu Jingyan's tone sounded normal, but in fact, it was a heavy choice. As a mother, it would be a lie to say that she did not have high hopes. However, Chi Cheng growing up safely and happily should be the foundation of everything.
Chi Cheng was still young and did not understand deeply. His tone was quite excited. "Manage Dad's company? Okay, it would be even better if we didn't have to be so serious every day when we eat. "
Lu Jingyan smiled. "They won't live in the Lu residence all the time. You don't have to be so serious." His family's education was more rigid, and etiquette learning could be done in a more relaxed way.
"Yes, Dad, you're so nice." Chi Cheng grabbed Lu Jingyan's little finger and looked down at it. It was slender and fair, and the fingernails were neatly trimmed. He shook it with a happy face. "I have one more thing. Dad's family … doesn't allow me to take Mom's surname."
On the family tree, the surname of Father Lu's generation was Wen, Lu Jingyan's generation was Jing, and Chi Cheng's generation was Shi. According to the family tree, Chi Cheng's name on the household register would be changed to Lu Shicheng. When great-grandfather patted his hand last night and told him this, Chi Cheng felt a little awkward.
"Chengcheng, if you like your original name, Mom and I will usually call you Chi Cheng."
Lu Jingyan's voice was low and gentle, but Chi Cheng could still tell that he had to change his name. He raised his little face. "Hmph."
Chi Ying gently comforted him. "Think about it, the children in kindergarten all take Dad's surname."
"I know." Chi Cheng had long realized that only he and Mom had the same surname, but he had never said it. "Who asked Dad to abandon us in the past? Dad, did you know that great-grandfather asked me today if you were by my side when I was young? If I said no, great-grandfather might spank you. I didn't want you to feel pain, so I said that you were very busy. That's why Dad got away with it. Am I biting the hand that feeds me? "
"Biting the hand that feeds you …"
After Lu Jingyan corrected him, his expression darkened. His thin lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to explain something. Chi Cheng suddenly felt guilty and said first, "Dad, don't be sad. I know it's not your fault. If you don't spank me in the future, I'll forgive you. "
Lu Jingyan immediately agreed. "Okay."
