Volume 4: A New Era Chapter 589: "Guests" and Contact
In addition to Lu Zhong, Lu Ping is also not idle.
At the same time that Wang Bing arrived at Lujia Village, Lu Ping also received a "guest".
"Father, has he passed away..."
At this time, sitting in front of Lu Ping was an old man leaning on a cane. His aged face could not conceal the aura of a superior emanating from him.
This person was Lu Yi, a child abandoned by Lu Ci to take care of many affairs of the Lu family.
"For now, that's the case."
Lu Ping said calmly, "According to my eldest brother, my father was killed by that evildoer from the Wang family, and according to my second brother, my father was plotted against by Qu Tong. However, since my father's body has not been found so far, there is no definite conclusion on this matter."
"Is this why you came back to me?"
Lu Yi asked indifferently. As the fourth son of Lu Ci, Lu Yi couldn't say that he hated his father much, but of course he didn't love him much either.
Since childhood, he was often bullied by his brothers and sisters because he was destined to not become an extraordinary person, but his father turned a blind eye to it. After he came of age, Lu Ci gave him the task of managing the clan's business and asked him to leave Lujia Village.
At that time, Lu Yi was filled with righteous indignation, and vowed that he would surpass his brothers and sisters in the future and make his father pay attention to him again.
But as I grow older, gain more experience, and become more mature.
Lu Yi also gradually understood some things.
After all, extraordinary people are different from ordinary people. Since he could not become an extraordinary person in this life, he was destined to be from a different world from Lu Ci and his three brothers and sisters.
His father has always been that kind of person, and he is not indifferent to him just because he is not an alien.
Lu Ci is the kind of person who will bite off a piece of flesh from someone if they threaten him or bully him. How can such a person possibly uphold justice for the weaker party? He will only look down on the weaker party.
Moreover, among Lu Yi's descendants, if anyone could awaken and become an alien, they would be taken back to Lujia Village. So, after figuring out these things, Lu Yi accepted his fate and has been honestly managing the family's business outside for these years...
Now, my sister called me back.
Having been in the business world for many years, Lu Yi has long seen through people's hearts. He knows very well that Lu Ping asked him to come back just to compete for the position of the head of the Lu family, but she is weak and worried that she cannot defeat her two brothers, so she wants to pull him into the game.
"Sister Ping, how can a useless person like me who is not even an alien be qualified to participate in such things?"
After saying that, Lu Yi stood up and prepared to leave Lu Ping.
"Yi, I know you have been feeling resentful these years and feel that you have been wronged for so many years."
Lu Ping naturally couldn't let this "money bag" go like this, so she said, "How about this, when the position of the head of the family is determined, your branch can move back, and the children of your branch can enjoy the same resources as the children of the original family, how about that?"
"puff……"
"Hahaha."
Hearing what Lu Ping said, Lu Yi suddenly laughed, and his laughter was a bit confusing. After he had laughed enough, he said, "Sister Ping, Sister Ping, let me ask you, in the entire Lu family, who uses resources that are not earned by me, Lu Yi? Why do I need to ask you for resources? Besides, do you really think returning to the Lu family is my biggest dream in this life?"
"wrong!"
At this point, Lu Yi regained his cold expression and continued , "If it weren't for my father, do you think I would look at you straight in the eye?"
"So... can I assume that you are going to betray the Lu family?" Lu Ping's face changed slightly, the Qi flame on his body suddenly emerged, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Yi.
"If I want to betray you, what can you do to me? Kill me or send me to see my father?"
As an ordinary person, Lu Yi naturally couldn't see the Qi flame on Lu Ping, but he could sense the aura to some extent. He said, "I have been running the family business for nearly half a century. You don't really think I don't have any backup plans? If you want to confirm, just ask directly. It's not like I won't tell you. Even if I don't tell you, won't you check it out?"
"You asked me to come here just to test my background, worried that I would support Lu Zhong or Lu Xiao!"
Indeed, as Lu Yi said, the reason why Lu Ping was willing to call Lu Yi back was because she was worried that this man who held the financial power of their family would turn against his other two brothers. If that happened, she would have no chance at all.
When Lu Ci was in power, the financial power was in Lu Ci's hands, but Lu Ci left too suddenly, without explaining many things clearly. Just because Lu Ci could control Lu Yi doesn't mean that Lu Zhong and the others could do the same.
"Okay, tell me what I should do to make you support me."
After thinking it over again and again, Lu Ping finally compromised, because she was a little unsure of Lu Yi's vital point, while Lu Yi could hit her weak spot.
"How should we do it..." A gleam of light flashed in Lu Yi's eyes.
…
"What? You have never met Lu Yi, the God of Wealth?"
On Lu Huan's side, Wang Bing couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, feeling a little headache after hearing about Lu Huan's actions during this period.
"I do want to, but everyone in the clan is watching me, so I can't take any action."
"What are you afraid of? With the people I give you and your own people, can't you contact Lu Yi?" Wang asked puzzledly.
"With Lu Liang gone, I am now the only one in the Lu family who can do both. This is what the people who support my grandfather want."
Lu Huan said calmly, "My grandfather and my great grandfather are now competing against each other, and they are in a state of equilibrium. If one of them becomes more powerful, this balance will inevitably be broken, and we will face two bloody battles. When you entered Lujia Village, didn't you feel the blood?"
"Are you...thinking about peaceful evolution?"
Wang Bing was somewhat dazed. He had somewhat understood that although Lu Huan had made up her mind to take the position of the head of the family, she was still somewhat naive.
But this can't be blamed on her. She's just a little girl in her twenties. How much of the emperor's mind do you expect her to understand?
Normal girls in their twenties are probably still obsessed with love in school, and are scheming against others over trivial matters.
"Let's touch it."
After thinking it over again and again, Wang Bing said, "Don't care about other people's eyes. I support you, not your grandfather. You also said that your grandfather would not leave the position for you. In his eyes, you are just a tool for your brother. It is still necessary for Lu Yi to contact him. If he disagrees..."
At the end, Wang Bing's tone became serious, "You can try to rebuild his worldview!"
