Chapter 327 – Interlude (1)
Lu Beichuan has not had a lot of contact with these Lu relatives mostly because he looked down on these greedy leeches with no bottom line. They bragged about being a part of the Lu family, held various roles in the company, and gained benefits without putting any effort whatsoever. Old Master Lu might allow them to do that because of their relationships in the past, but Lu Beichuan didn’t care about those.
He knew full well that Lu Shaoyan, being able to stay lowkey this entire time, was no ordinary individual. Them wanting to force him into giving up what was his was nothing but a fantasy.
Sure enough, just a few mocking words from Lu Shaoyan, and he was able to push their buttons and make them jump up and down in anger. These people turned to Lu Beichuan to stand up and defend them.
“Look, Beichuan, Old Master Lu had just left and he’s already so arrogant. Can you imagine what he’d be like in a few years’ time?”
“You never bowed to Old Master Lu or offer him up an incense the entire time. Beichuan was the one who took care of everything. Where were you the entire time? Now that everything was settled and you came right now pretending that all is well? Lu Shaoyan, do you really think that we will dote on you the way that Old Master Lu did?”
“Had Old Master Lu known that you would be so unfilial in his afterlife, he would for sure regret leaving you with everything that he did!”
Lu Shaoyan did not get upset. He merely looked at them coldly and comforted them calmly. “Fellow uncles, there is no need to get so upset. I am not going to spit out what’s mine and split them with you no matter how angry you get. Let me get something clear right now. You were all around when Old Master Lu divided up his assets as were the lawyers. Like it or not, what’s mine is mine. If you think you can get any of them from my share, you are gravely mistaken.”
Lu Shaoyan had an unruly look. He looked over at everyone arrogantly and the look in his eyes clearly conveyed how generous he was by not being petty with them. “As for that idea of yours... save it. We are all part of the Lu family and we know each other well. You can put away that ugly look of yours now.”
His voice came from afar. It was only when Lu Shaoyan disappeared from the Lu’s front door that these people finally looked away angrily. They were being disrespected by someone of the younger generation, and they looked to Lu Beichuan to do something for them.
Through the entire exchange, Lu Beichuan had quietly finished his breakfast. He took the towel handed to him from the servant and wiped his hands with it. “My grandfather’s will is legally binding and I respect his wishes. Pardon me for not being able to fulfill what you are asking me to do. Grandpa’s funeral is over now and I appreciate all of you for coming. I shall arrange for drivers to take fellow uncles home after breakfast. Excuse me if there is nothing else.”
The only reason that Lu Beichuan was being nice to them was because they were still his elders. He didn’t want to get into a spat with any of them before it had even been seven days after the old man was gone.
The fellow great-uncles, on the other hand, had their ulterior motives and were ambitious. They were enraged by Lu Beichuan’s words. They assumed that Lu Beichuan was in cohort with Lu Shaoyan.
“Beichuan, whatever do you mean by that? We are only doing this for your own good. Is this how you are going to treat us?” Fourth Great-uncle looked authoritatively at Lu Beichuan with his cane in hand. “Had it ever occurred to you that Lu Shaoyan, being Old Master Lu’s favorite son when he was still alive, only got some of his real estate. Do you think he’d appreciate you defending him right now? Watch out for him trying to take Lu Corporation from you.”
