During the Mid-Autumn Festival, father and daughter went to the Lu family to celebrate the festival together.
This was the first time for Lu Zheng to go home for the holidays in so many years, and Lu Chao was also happy to let the servant prepare a few more dishes.
"Azheng, I remember that you loved mandarin fish when you were a child, so I asked the kitchen to make one for you."
Lu Chao felt that nothing could be diluted by time.
Today, Lu Zheng has grown into an outstanding son, exactly what he had expected to see.
He is willing to come back to reunite with him during such a festival, and he must also want to let go of his prejudices and slowly accept him as his father.
"Since when did I love fish?"
Lu Zheng asked lightly, his eyes as calm as water.
"Ah... maybe I misremembered..."
The smile on Lu Chao's face froze and he looked away in embarrassment.
"Grandpa, I like to eat fish. Dad doesn't have a favorite dish, but he likes spicy food and hates bitter taste."
Yuanyuan is six years old this year and a first-grade primary school student.
She can now understand many truths and understands why her father and grandpa have a bad relationship.
"It's because I'm older and my memory is not as good as Yuanyuan's."
Lu Chao smiled kindly at his granddaughter and reluctantly put the matter aside.
"..."
Yuanyuan listened silently without making a sound. This had nothing to do with his memory. It was because he had never really cared about his father.
She raised her head and glanced at her father distressedly, and found that Lu Zheng was also looking at her, and raised his hand to rub her head.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very dull. Ever since Chen Yan went crazy, Lu Chengxing had become silent in this family.
It is difficult for him to judge who is right and who is wrong about his parents.
Facing the brother in front of him who treated him coldly, he was more afraid.
Lu Chaoyou wanted to liven up the atmosphere and brought up what happened when Lu Zheng was seven or eight years old.
As a result, everything he said was done by the second son, and the eldest son's childhood was so vague that he had to rely on guesswork.
"Grandpa, please eat more food."
Yuanyuan gave him a piece of ribs, hoping that he would stop saying anything that would make his father unhappy.
The meal was very depressing and had no festive atmosphere.
After dinner——
Lu Zheng offered to talk to Lu Chao alone, and the father and son went to the study on the second floor.
The two of them sat facing each other, and there was no warm atmosphere like a conversation between relatives. Instead, it was like a see-saw negotiation.
"Zheng, I know you still resent me in your heart, but people change. Give me more opportunities to get to know you."
Lu Chao knew that he no longer needed him, but he still wanted to go back to the tender father-son time with him.
As long as he is willing, he will definitely treat him twice as well and make him as happy as Orange Star.
"I said I don't hate anyone, and I won't share my emotions with unnecessary people."
Lu Zheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He was most annoyed to hear him say such words.
There is no value.
"Then what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lu Chao's face turned gloomy, his hopes were ignited and then dashed.
"I want the remaining 40% of your equity."
This is the purpose of Lu Zheng's visit today, he only wants to see something.
"You have taken control of the company. These will be yours sooner or later. There is no rush."
"What day is it sooner or later? How much do you plan to give me by then?"
"Zheng, no matter how many companies you are divided into, you will only be in charge. There is no need to divide the family too clearly."
"Don't talk about family ties with me when discussing interests. I just ask how much you will give me?"
"Lu Zheng! Do you have to make trouble now? I'm not dead yet!"
Lu Chao's face sank, his tone full of disappointment and anger.
He doesn't want to quit the company completely yet. His body has almost recovered and he plans to continue to take charge.
"I don't want a penny of your property, and I can't lose a penny of the company's shares."
Lu Zheng knew that as long as his interests were involved, he could no longer pretend to be a good father.
I supported the company when he was ill, but now that he has recovered, he wants to take things off his hands and kill the donkey. There is no such big advantage in the world.
“Don’t think that just because you have been CEO for three years, you are qualified to challenge me.
If your surname is not Lu and you don't have my support, do you think you have a chance to sit in this position? "
Lu Chao looked at his ambitious look and felt a strong sense of crisis.
"Whether you support me or whether I am the only one who can fill this vacancy, you know in your heart. I will give you three days to think about it."
"..."
Seeing the study door close, Lu Chao slumped in his seat, breathing heavily for a long time before he calmed down.
Hearing the sound of cars coming from downstairs, he looked along the floor-to-ceiling windows and saw Lu Zheng's car disappearing into the night.
"Dad, did you have a fight with grandpa?"
Yuanyuan sat in the passenger seat and found that his face was not good.
"No, it's just that things haven't been settled. Have you finished your holiday homework?"
Lu Zheng held the steering wheel with his big, knuckled hands and glanced sideways at her.
The child is very smart and has good academic performance, but he is too lazy to take the initiative to do homework and needs supervision.
"There's only a little bit left, I'll finish it soon."
"You'd better be..."
"..."
Yuanyuan turned her head to the other side and looked at the scenery outside the car window, trying to cover up her guilty conscience.
She knows how to raise a child by herself, and when she looks like this, she knows that she must not have written it yet.
It's just a big holiday, so let her be happy first.
This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day coincide with each other.
Early the next morning, Yuanyuan was picked up and washed. After dinner, she sat in the study and did her homework.
Half an hour later——
"Dad, I want..."
"You do not want!"
Lu Zheng sat aside and read a book and interrupted her directly.
He has not written any more books in recent years. The two books he wrote previously have been published, and the second one has been adapted into animation and film and television dramas.
Now he has more things to do and no time to think of new stories.
"..."
After Yuanyuan was rejected, she continued to do her homework with a frown.
snort!
She asked again later.
These days, Lu Chao contacted his old department, only to find that his confidants had been dispersed long ago, and those who were still serving were on the fringes.
He was ignored by his own son...
It was because he had lived too peacefully and comfortably in the past few years that he underestimated Lu Zheng's methods and ambitions.
If I fight with him now, no matter who wins in the end, it will be the Lu family who loses.
The last straw that shook his determination was Mr. Lu's phone call.
He said that as he got older, he should make way for new blood and not destroy the legacy laid down by his ancestors.
After the agreed deadline came, Lu Zheng got what he wanted as he wished.
"You didn't hesitate to use your grandfather together for the sake of power."
Lu Chao couldn't tell what he felt in his heart when he looked at the son who had once been the most annoying to him.
“Those who achieve great things don’t stick to trivial matters.”
These were the last words Lu Zheng left for him.
If he does not plan for himself today, he will be trampled into the mud tomorrow.
He would never suffer such a loss again.
As the children grow up, there are more and more things in the house.
Lu Zheng also made a lot of money over the years and purchased a new villa.
The father and daughter will move in before the National Day ends, and most of their things have been moved, leaving only some personal belongings.
"Yuanyuan, have you packed it up?"
Lu Zheng didn't have much left, and he could get it all in one big handbag. He leaned against the door and looked at the child who was about to get into the cabinet and asked.
After the favorability level rose to 75%, the rate of increase slowed down a lot, and it took several months to increase a little.
The total has reached 97% today.
"Host, please be prepared. The target's favorability towards you is about to reach full, and the task value will begin to be extracted in ten seconds."
In the past few years, 007 has rarely communicated with her because he was ignored by her.
After saying this, the sound of a mechanical countdown sounded in Yuanyuan's mind.
"10"
"9"
“…”
Yuanyuan was stunned for three seconds and immediately ran towards Lu Zheng at the door.
It's a pity it's too late!
The house that was about to be vacated suddenly caught fire. Lu Zheng was swallowed up by the flames and his tall body fell down.
"dad!"
Yuanyuan cried and shouted to him, but she couldn't run fast no matter how hard she ran, it was like she couldn't reach him standing still.
"When human beings face life and death decisions, love reaches its peak."
"Host, the target is willing to sacrifice his life for you, please extract the mission value."
007 stood in front of her, the favorability level on the control panel was maxed out, and there was one more option.
Extract Lu Zheng's health points?
There are yes/no options at the bottom.
Yuanyuan watched her father, who was burned by the fire, collapse and cry, and had no intention of listening to what it had to say.
007 was not in a hurry, and looked at her coldly with a pair of red mechanical eyes.
"What are health points?"
After two minutes, Yuanyuan turned to look at it.
She had already realized that she was different from others, and tried hard to force herself to calm down and figure out what was going on.
"His health is Lu Zheng's life. With his health, we can go to the next plane and get one step closer to your long-cherished wish."
"What if I don't want dad's health?"
"Then you will be immediately erased from the system."
007 deliberately scared her and stood next to her with a fierce expression.
"Then will dad be able to live?"
"That's right!"
007 floated up and leaned close to her ear to seduce her.
"But is it really worth it? There are better people waiting for you ahead.
Think about your perfect life, you will have better parents than Lu Zheng. "
Its words penetrated Yuanyuan's head like a demonic sound, constantly playing back and forth in his head.
"There will be no one better than dad. I only want dad. Even if I die, it will be worth it."
Yuanyuan glanced at her father who was lying in the sea of fire, and raised his hand to say no.
She can also give her life for her father, as long as he lives.
The darkness and pain she imagined did not come, and a finger suddenly poked her head.
"There are still so many things that haven't been packed away, why are you so dazed?"
The fire just now disappeared, and Lu Zheng stood in front of her intact.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the test and officially binding the system. The favorability of the strategy target is full and the mission has been successfully completed.
When the capture target dies, it will be immediately teleported to the next plane. "
007 treats her a little more enthusiastically than before. It is not an ordinary system.
The host bound to it must be true and good.
If you can take other people's lives at will because of your own selfish desires, then you don't deserve the opportunity to realize your dream.
What it said to the host before may be true or false, but what it just said about strangulation does not count as false.
Hosts that fail to complete the test can only be absorbed by the system as nutrients.
Three people died before her, and they all had selfish motives.
People whose desires outweigh their conscience are ghosts that need to be paid off.
"dad!"
Yuanyuan was frightened and threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Facing his daughter who suddenly cried, Lu Zheng patted her shoulder helplessly and nervously asked her if she had been bullied in any way.
"Dad, it's my brain..."
"Host, if you don't want to leave now, shut your mouth!"
Just as Yuanyuan was about to tell her father about the system, she was frightened by these words, and she lay in his arms and wiped her tears.
"What happened to your head? Did you hit it?"
Lu Zheng pushed her hair away to check if she was injured.
"Um…"
Yuanyuan nodded and said nothing else.
"I'll rub it for you, stop crying!"
Although Lu Zheng couldn't find where the wound was, he still patiently rubbed her head.
After the child calmed down, the father and daughter packed the remaining things together and called someone to come up and move them into the car.
The new villa was elegantly decorated, and Lu Zheng arranged for her the most spacious bedroom with the best lighting, and an expensive piano was placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
This is Yuanyuan's new hobby. Although she has a professional teacher to teach her, Lu Zheng will also teach her some new songs when he has time.
The talents that were unfamiliar before have become proficient after practicing with my daughter.
Yuanyuan is very smart, her academic performance has never fallen behind once, and she has no other shortcomings except being lazy.
There is a separate room at home where my daughter’s certificates are displayed.
Since that day, father and daughter never went to the Lu family again.
The penultimate meeting with Lu Chao was at the funeral of Mr. Lu.
The last time was at Lu Chao's funeral, Lu Zheng, as the eldest son, threw a basin for him.
The relationship between father and son ended here.
As for Feng Nuan, they also maintained a lukewarm relationship. They only exchanged greetings during the holidays and had no unnecessary communication.
The missed childhood cannot be undone, and non-interference is the best ending.
Yuanyuan, who is twenty-two years old, has become a slim girl, with an elegant and refined temperament, and her brows are full of confidence and brightness.
Everyone is also worried that she is too similar to Lu Zheng and will look more masculine in the future.
But it turns out that beauties are all male and female, and such a handsome face is equally beautiful on a girl.
"Dad, come and take graduation photos with me."
Yuanyuan was wearing a bachelor's uniform, holding his arm to take pictures, and walked forward quickly.
Lu Zheng was only in his early forties at that time, and the years had not left too deep traces on his face. He looked like he was thirty-one or twelve years old.
Over the years, he has never missed any important moment of his daughter's life.
"Dad, the greatest luck in my life is to have you as my father. I am so grateful to have you!"
The moment the flash light came on, the child suddenly whispered in his ear.
"Me too…"
The luckiest thing in Lu Zheng's life is to have such a lovely and caring daughter like her.
Year after year!
Changan!
Stay with me!
