Chapter 76: Not Letting Go

Lu Gan laughed sarcastically.

“Why should I ask? I trust Lu Suo. He would never do something like this!”

He looked at Lu Hongyong, not understanding what the latter was thinking. How could a child that Lu Heng raised do such a thing? Why was Lu Hongyong unwilling to let go of this matter?

Suddenly, Lu Gan realized something. His father was not suspecting Lu Suo. Instead, he was just trying to find an excuse to take the little boy away from him! After all, Lu Suo inherited all of Lu Heng’s shares.

Lu Hongyong did not care if he upset Lu Suo or anyone else! Zhu Yi’s matter was just a coincidence, but it could contribute to his purpose. If Lu Xu said Lu Suo was the one who pushed Zhu Yi, he could take Lu Suo away with the excuse of educating him. Lu Jie also thought of the same thing.

It was ridiculous. No one was treating Lu Suo like a living person. He was just a password to wealth. Whoever adopted him would also gain his shares.

However, they were unaware of one thing. Lu Heng did not actually pass down his shares to Lu Suo! He knew Lu Suo would face unnecessary troubles if something happened to him. Hence, he tried to protect him to the best of his abilities. Otherwise, Lu Suo would never be happy.

Lu Gan said coldly, “Lu Xu, you don’t have to say anything. Everyone already believed Lu Suo. Unless… They were lying in plain sight!”

For a moment, everyone stayed quiet.

Lu Suo had never expected things to turn out like this. He raised his head and looked at Lu Hongyong. His grandfather always said that he favored him the most. So, why was he suspecting him? Lu Jie had also said some weird things a few days ago. Originally, Lu Suo thought everyone would trust him. Additionally, they all knew Zhu Yi’s personality. This incident made Lu Suo discover something else. People were more complicated than he had imagined. As expected, only his uncle was the most dependable.

“I just want to know what happened. My son almost died! Lu Xu, tell me!”

At first, Zhu Mingzhan wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, the tables had turned. Lu Hongyong was clearly on his side so naturally, he had to pursue this matter.

Lu Gan looked at him. There was nothing he could do.

On the other hand, Lu Xu was flustered and at a loss due to the adults’ words. He shouted, “I was playing with my game when Zhu Yi started crying. He decided to tell his dad, so we just followed. I don’t know anything, so stop asking me! Ask Song Yujin. The three of them were together at that time.”

Upon hearing that, Zhu Yi nodded.

“Yes, Song Yujin saw it. It was Lu Suo who pushed me!”

Everyone’s attention shifted to Song Yujin.

Song Yujin’s expression remained calm. When everyone saw this, they became more inclined to believe Lu Suo. After all, how could a child remain so calm after witnessing such a harrowing event? He should have been shocked or scared.

Song Ci looked at Song Yujin and then at Lu Suo. Obviously, she and Lu Gan trusted Lu Suo unconditionally, but that could not be said for the others. Besides, she knew what Lu Suo’s personality would be like when he grew up. Hence, there was no guarantee that his words were true. Moreover, Song Yujin was always calm. He may be present, but he might not want to put her and Lu Gan in a difficult position.

“Yujin, what happened?”

Lu Hongyong looked at Song Yujin and smiled gently.

Lu Gan had introduced Song Yujin to the Lu family earlier, but they did not even look at him. They even treated him like some kind of virus. Now, things were completely different. Lu Hongyong even put on a loving look.

“I’m Lu Suo’s grandfather. Tell me, what did you see?”

Lu Gan felt that Lu Hongyong’s attitude was both pathetic and laughable.

Song Ci could see the sadness and anguish that was filling up Lu Gan’s eyes.

Despite that, Lu Gan shook his head at her, indicating that he was fine.

Song Ci thought to herself, ‘There’s no way he’s fine. All his family members are opposing him. Even though he had given up his position and power, these people still want to squeeze him dry.’
