Chapter 398: The Decision Lies With Lu Xi
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although he could pamper Zhou Wan now, it was only because Zhou Wan was sensible and obedient.
If Zhou Wan became his wife and became his wife in name, it was not easy for him to judge whether Zhou Wan would change.
The only one who was better was his illegitimate son, Lu Xun.
Lu Xun had good grades since she was young and was very obedient.
One Lu Xun was equivalent to four or five Lu Lins.
But Lu Xun’s obedience was also due to her awkward status.
Because he knew that he was an illegitimate child, he did not have the confidence like Lu Lin to do whatever he wanted, to eat, drink, and gamble.
Although Lu Xi was unwilling to admit defeat, he knew it in his heart.
His wife’s family was indeed weak now. It was not as strong as it was in the past, but it was still stronger than Zhou Wan’s family.
Zhou Wan’s family had already gone bankrupt long before she went abroad.
She packed up her things and left the country early because she was afraid that her family’s bankruptcy would implicate her.
Lu Xi knew that such a woman was actually cold and heartless.
However, Zhou Wan was the woman he had loved when he was young. At that time, Zhou Wan was extremely beautiful. Many rich young masters pursued her, but Zhou Wan had taken a fancy to him.
At that time, there were people who were stronger than the Lu family who pursued Zhou Wan.
Lu Xi was especially happy because Zhou Wan had chosen him.
He only wanted to marry Zhou Wan.
However, at that time, the Lu Corporation was in danger and Zhou Wan ran away. That was why there was no follow-up between them.
Later, Zhou Wan took the initiative to look for him. She said that she had been forced to leave back then and that her family had asked her to leave.
He believed her, but he also knew that Zhou Wan might be lying.
Lu Xi sighed and said, “I was wrong about this. I won’t get a divorce, and I won’t let Zhou Wan become my wife.”
He looked at Mrs. Lu. “Let’s pretend that this never happened. I will never let
Zhou Wan appear in front of you, okay? You can still maintain your dignity.” Mrs. Lu sneered. “Since Father knows about this, why can’t others?”
“I’m guessing that many people in the industry might know about it, but they deliberately hid it from me because they wanted to see me make a fool of myself in the future!”
Lu Xi sensed Madam Lu’s attitude. She did not want to let it go just like that. Lu Xi felt his head hurt even more. He asked, “Then what do you want?”
Mrs. Lu said bluntly, “It’s very simple. I want you to write a statement under the witness of a lawyer. Zhou Wan and her son can never inherit your company shares, nor can they get any of your inheritance.”
Lu Xi widened his eyes. “After all, he’s my biological son.”
“So what if he’s your son?” Mrs. Lu sneered. “We all know how beautiful Zhou Wan is. She is very beautiful. Even if she has a son, she is completely qualified to find a man with good conditions to marry.
“Back then, she was so arrogant. Why is she willing to be your mistress now?
“Do you dare to say that she’s not waiting for you to get a divorce?
“Lu Xi, don’t lie to yourself. If it were me who gave birth to a son before marriage, I would also find a good father for my son and not be willing to be someone else’s mistress.
“To put it bluntly, Zhou Wan is willing to be cheap!”
Lu Xi pointed at Madam Lu. His fingers were trembling with anger, but he could not say anything to refute her.
Madam Lu’s words were unpleasant to hear, but they made sense.
He had asked Zhou Wan about it all these years, but she always said that she loved him, so she was unwilling to marry someone else. She would rather follow him without a status.
She also said that she had let him down for what happened back then, so she was willing to give up and follow him now.
But now, Madam Lu’s words were like a heavy hammer smashing into his heart.
Lu Xi was a little dejected.
“In that case, let’s do as daughter-in-law says.” Old Master Lu said.
Lu Xi widened his eyes. “Dad!”
Old Master Lu looked at him.
Under Old Master Lu’s gaze, Lu Xi finally gave up.
Lu Xi lowered his head.
Old Master Lu immediately asked Lu Jing to prepare and made it clear that he did not believe Lu Xi..
