Chapter 221 The target of the mission forced the host to love 23
Hearing this, Lu Zeyuan rolled his eyes silently and simply stopped acting.
"It's boring." He complained, "Brother, you always expose me. It's really annoying."
Lu Zeyuan paused, then continued, "Over the years, you've always been critical of me."
"Tell me, you are usually so gentle and humble, why can't you give me a little bit of it?"
He expressed his dissatisfaction, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was joking.
"is it?"
Lu Huaiyuan glanced at him and said calmly, "But didn't you say that you are my most important brother? How can you be the same as others?"
"This is a privilege that belongs only to you. Aren't you secretly happy?"
Lu Zeyuan: “…”
I would really thank you!
Lu Zeyuan felt humiliated and couldn't help but grind his teeth, feeling so angry that he wanted to curse.
Although Chu Linyan, who was standing by, was used to the two brothers bickering, he still couldn't help laughing.
He lowered his head and suppressed the corners of his mouth that were unconsciously raised.
Lu Zeyuan took in this scene and said, "Chu Xiaoyan, are you secretly laughing at me?"
Chu Linyan pursed his lips, coughed lightly, and then raised his head.
"No." He said, "Don't talk nonsense. How could I be that kind of person?"
He looked sincere, as if he was not the one who was laughing just now.
Lu Zeyuan was choked by these words and was so angry that he wanted to grind his teeth again.
Lu Huaiyuan took in everything in front of him, his expression was as gentle as ever.
He looked at Lu Zeyuan and asked, "Did your parents urge you to come back?"
Although he asked inquiring questions, he used a declarative tone, and it was obvious that he was certain of the result.
Lu Zeyuan was not surprised that Lu Huaiyuan knew about this, and just leaned back in his chair casually.
"Congratulations, you guessed it right again!"
He raised his chin slightly, but his words were inevitably a little weak.
He was having a great time abroad, but who knows why his parents insisted on urging him to come back?
Oh, I'm tired.
Seeing Lu Zeyuan's pale face, Lu Huaiyuan just smiled and said nothing.
There is still more than half a month left until his birthday.
And considering Lu Zeyuan's personality, it would be impossible for him to rush back at this time to celebrate his birthday.
That's why he guessed that it was the Lu couple who called Lu Zeyuan back.
But as for the reason behind this, Lu Huaiyuan had some guesses in his mind.
Thinking of this, he asked, "Did Mom and Dad say when they'll be back?"
Lu Zeyuan said, "My parents said that if everything goes well, I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
"But at the latest, I will be back within five days."
the day after tomorrow?
Lu Huaiyuan's eyes turned slightly, but his expression seemed to be thoughtful.
But he didn't say much, just nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
Chu Linyan, who was sitting next to them, listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but look at Lu Huaiyuan.
Seeing no change on the other person's face, a faint light flashed in his eyes.
-----------------
Lu Huaiyuan has a bad relationship with the Lu couple.
This is a fact that Chu Linyan has known for a long time.
Although Lu Huaiyuan and Lu Zeyuan are brothers from the same father and mother, people only have one heart. How can they treat each other equally?
As parents, the Lu couple are naturally no exception.
Therefore, compared to his gentle and humble eldest son, he prefers his innocent and lively younger son.
It’s just that Lu Huaiyuan has been gifted since childhood, and he has earned them enough face in front of outsiders.
Therefore, this bias was well covered up.
But after the kidnapping, they strategically abandoned Lu Huaiyuan, and their relationship was naturally no longer the same as before.
What's more, Lu Huaiyuan's condition has been unstable since he came back.
At first, the Lu couple felt guilty about him.
But as time went on, even this little bit of emotion was worn away.
After all, having an heir who seems to be sick really makes them feel embarrassed.
Later, Lu Huaiyuan lived with Mr. Lu, while the Lu couple devoted all their efforts to cultivating Lu Zeyuan.
They only saw each other a few times in a year, and every time they spoke, they were sarcastic, so their relationship became cold.
However, although Lu Huaiyuan had a bad relationship with the Lu couple, his attitude towards Lu Zeyuan was quite close.
After all, who can resist a Husky that always wags its tail at you!
Thinking of this, Chu Linyan couldn't help but look up and look at Lu Zeyuan who was sitting opposite him.
Before the other party noticed, he quietly withdrew his gaze.
Because of the existence of the system, Chu Linyan naturally knew the purpose of the Lu couple.
In other words, over the years, they have already written their intentions on their faces.
But when he thought of their actions, Chu Linyan subconsciously looked at Lu Huaiyuan.
Although there were slight deviations in the process, judging from the future given to him by the system, the Lu couple's goal was indeed achieved.
But for some reason, Chu Linyan could not accept such a result.
This was not only because of his own death, but also because of Lu Huaiyuan.
That person who is as bright as the moon should not have such an ending.
Thinking of this, Chu Linyan couldn't help but lower his head and eat his breakfast obediently.
But in those slightly drooped eyes, there were emotions that were difficult to understand.
-----------------
Although things did not go as smoothly as expected, the Lu couple finally returned home on the third day.
Over the years, even though their relationship wasn't good, they were still his parents after all, and it wasn't to the point where they would really fall out.
Therefore, adhering to the principle of keeping out of one's own way, Lu Huaiyuan did not drive the person out.
But this thought only lasted until the dinner started.
After all, no matter how good-tempered a person is, he or she can't stand someone dancing in his or her face.
When Lu Huaiyuan looked at the person in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but turn a little colder.
Father Lu didn't investigate anything and just continued to talk to himself, "Huaiyuan, Xiaoyuan is an adult now."
"Put him in the company and let him understand the business."
Father Lu raised his eyes and looked at Lu Huaiyuan beside him, with a hint of arrogance in his tone.
But after he said this, everyone stopped what they were doing and their faces showed different expressions.
But before anyone else could speak, Father Lu slowed down his tone and continued, "Huaiyuan, Xiaoyuan is your biological brother. You must help him well."
"You've worked so hard for the company over the years. When Xiao Yuan takes over the company, he will certainly not treat you unfairly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole restaurant fell silent.
Lu Huaiyuan ate his dinner slowly and leisurely without even raising his eyelids.
Take over the company?
Well, that's a really funny joke.
Thinking of this, he indeed raised the corners of his lips slightly and smiled silently.
Seeing Lu Huaiyuan's motionless appearance, Lu's father couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He frowned slightly, as if he was about to lose his temper.
But Mr. Lu didn't know what he was thinking about, and he endured it with a grim face.
Lu Zeyuan, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but frown after hearing his words.
"Dad, what are you talking about!"
There was a hint of displeasure in his tone, and his face showed disapproval.
Lu Zeyuan said, "I still have to study, how can I have time to do this? Besides, I know nothing about company affairs, so please don't force me."
"In my opinion, Big Brother is managing the company very well now, so you don't need to mention these things again in the future."
Upon hearing this, Father Lu couldn't help but glare at Lu Zeyuan, looking as if he was disappointed in his son.
He said, "Since you say you don't know how to manage a company, then go and learn. No one is born knowing how to do it."
"When you join the company in the future, won't Huaiyuan be there to help you? What are you worried about?"
Father Lu paused, then spoke again in a serious tone, "Besides, Lu Corporation should have been yours. If you don't take over, who are you waiting for to help you manage it?"
"Besides, you're not young anymore, so stop being so out of touch. You've only grown taller and not smarter. You'll end up being sold off and then have to help people count the money!"
There was something in Mr. Lu's words, but Lu Zeyuan's expression changed when he heard them.
His fingers under the table suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously looked at Lu Huaiyuan who had been sitting next to him without saying a word.
The other party looked calm and seemed not to care about all this.
Lu Zeyuan frowned and turned to look at his father.
"Dad, I told you I'm not interested in taking over the company."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, Big Brother manages the company very well. Even I might not be able to do better."
"Brother is the most suitable person to take over the company, so please don't say these things again in the future."
Seeing that his words were refuted again and again, Father Lu couldn't help feeling annoyed.
He slammed the cutlery in his hand on the table, his tone still mixed with a hint of anger: "What's wrong with me saying these words? Am I wrong? Don't you see who I am doing this for?"
Hearing this, Lu Zeyuan wanted to say something else, but before he could open his mouth, he saw that Father Lu pointed the finger at Lu Huaiyuan again.
"Your eldest brother manages the company in an orderly manner, so what? Isn't that what he should do?"
As he spoke, he looked at his eldest son who had remained silent, and his anger grew even stronger.
Father Lu: "Besides, if your grandfather hadn't been partial and transferred all the shares to him, he probably wouldn't even be qualified to join the company, and how could he have the glorious life he has today."
"The Lu family has supported him for so many years, isn't it his responsibility to manage the company for you?"
"Xiao Ze, remember, Lu Group is left to you by us. Not everyone can get involved." He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
Before his death, Mr. Lu left the remaining shares and most of his assets to Lu Huaiyuan.
This matter has always been a thorn in Lu's father's heart.
He said it now, firstly to vent his dissatisfaction, and secondly to warn Lu Huaiyuan.
After all, in the past two years, he had vaguely felt that Lu Huaiyuan seemed to be gradually out of his control.
This realization made him panic, and he urgently needed to get rid of the other party.
Lu Huaiyuan didn't know what his father was thinking, he just raised his eyes slightly and glanced at him.
"Father, are you saying this because you're dissatisfied with what happened back then?"
Father Lu couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw his father's cold eyes.
But when he reacted, he snorted coldly.
"The old man was very partial back then and gave you everything. What's the point of saying you're satisfied or dissatisfied now? Can you spit out all those things again?"
Father Lu looked at Lu Huaiyuan, his tone somewhat ambiguous: "But Huaiyuan, as a person, you must know how to be content and have self-knowledge, so as not to end up with nothing."
Lu Huaiyuan nodded in agreement: "Father, what you said makes sense."
He paused, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then he added: "However, it was Grandpa's decision back then."
"If Father has any dissatisfaction, it would be better to discuss it with him in person."
As soon as Lu Huaiyuan finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.
Lu Zeyuan, who was standing by, choked on the soup he had just drunk and started coughing violently.
Father Lu glared at him and then threw the cutlery in his hand hard onto the table.
"Bastard thing!"
Everyone present knew that Mr. Lu had been dead for several years.
What Lu Huaiyuan said really made Lu's father very angry.
He glared at the person beside him, anger surging in his eyes.
"Lu Huaiyuan, you rebellious son, I'm your father, is this how you talk to me?"
Hearing this, Lu Huaiyuan's expression remained unchanged. He simply said, "Oh, are you dissatisfied with something?"
"You...!" Father Lu was so angry at his attitude that he gritted his teeth.
He took several deep breaths before calming himself down.
"Lu Huaiyuan, you've really grown cocky. Now you don't even take me, your father, seriously!"
Lu Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Thank you, thank you."
Father Lu: “…”
Want to kill someone!
-----------------
The Lu family's dinner ended in a bad mood.
Although Lu Huaiyuan has always been gentle and humble, he is also gifted in arguing with people.
These few words made Mr. Lu so angry that he threw his chopsticks down.
He was really angry, but he couldn't do anything to Lu Huaiyuan. In the end, he could only leave angrily with Lu's mother and Lu Zeyuan.
Lu Zeyuan actually didn't want to leave, but facing the pressure from his father, he was inexplicably timid.
After the three of them left, only Lu Huaiyuan and Chu Linyan were left at the table.
In response, Lu Huaiyuan did not say much, but just curled his lips slightly and smiled coldly.
Without those people disturbing him, even his ears felt much quieter.
But it’s a pity that a good dinner was ruined by that irrelevant person.
Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyuan's eyes became even colder.
He lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
After Lu Huaiyuan got up and left, the servants began to clear the food off the table one after another.
Chu Linyan, who was standing aside, did not stand up, but stared at his back as he went up the stairs, and his eyes could not help but turn slightly.
