Chapter 240: Grandfather

Chapter 240: Grandfather 

"It's fine. You don't have to decide now." Noticing Gong Changming's expression, Lu Chen didn't force it. It's something he knows all too well.

Betrayal is like poison. It's something that's ingrained in the body. Only time and proper care can fix it.

"If you accept my offer, call me." Lu Chen left his phone number there and walk away with Zhang Jian.

Seeing Lu Chen leave like that, Gong Changming didn't know what to say. The offer Lu Chen gave was tempting.  Zhang Jian's talents are something he wants to work with. From his talk with Zhang Jian, he had never felt anything like this in a long time. 

And Lu Chen himself is another matter. Gong Changming saw the determination in his eyes. Yet, the betrayal continues to grip him, stopping him from deciding. 

'What should I do?'

...

After talking with Zhang Jian about things about the company, Lu Chen came back home. When he went back, the first person he met was Elder Wu. 

"Young Master, your grandfather wants to speak to you tomorrow." 

"?" Lu Chen didn't understand why his grandfather would call him out. Lu Chen looks at Elder Wu. From his expression, he didn't know either. 

'Maybe it's because of the fight?' The only thing Lu Chen could think of that would make his grandfather call him is the incident with the thugs, or he had heard about Liu Fei Fei. 

"Alright." Lu Chen knows he would have to talk to him sooner or later. 

...

Tomorrow, when Lu Chen was about to leave for his grandfather's mansion, Lu Xiaotong and Zhang Wenling saw him off. They wave him away, wishing their son the best of luck.

When Lu Chen saw that, his face twitched, seeing the crocodile tears. 

'Oh, please! Quit with the tears. You guys don't want to deal with him!' Behind those tears, Lu Chen knows they're sighing in relief that they don't have to meet him. Lu Chen shakes his head as he jumps into the car. 

As Elder Wu drives to the mansion, Lu Chen asks, "Elder Wu, how much does my grandfather know?" He knows Elder Wu told his grandfather daily things. But he didn't know how much he told him. 

"Young master, I only told him a given amount of information. I haven't told him about the things you have on Liu Fei Fei." 

Lu Chen nods his head, not talking about it anymore. He wouldn't get an exact answer from him. Just knowing that he hasn't talked about his interactions with Liu Fei Fei, that's good enough. 

The car arrives in front of a manor, many times larger than the one Lu Chen lives in. 

"Young master, you will have to go in by yourself now." Elder Wu understands Lu Chen's grandfather. He would want to talk to his grandson alone. 

"Your grandfather is in the garden." Lu Chen nods his head as he walks to the back of the mansion. There, what he saw was not a garden. But a forest. It was filled with fruit trees, a bunch of flowers, and plants on the ground too.

'He really kept this place so extravagant.' Lu Chen praises. Each one of the trees costs a good amount of money. He continues to walk back. There he was met with an elderly man sitting at a table.

The moment Lu Chen saw him, he quickly bows his head, "Hello, grandfather." It was respectful to the utmost degree. 

What Lu Chen felt is oppressiveness. The amount of pressure he felt wasn't something he could handle. 

In front of him is his grandfather, Lu Wencheng. The man who brought the Lu family up to greatness. A natural genius that can't be found like no other.  How could he not feel pressure from him?

"Xiao Chen, you don't have to bow your head down. I'm your grandfather." Before he said anything else, he gave Lu Chen a hug.

"..." Lu Chen couldn't say anything. Despite Lu Wencheng being an elderly man, his strength is nothing like that. 

"How has my grandson been doing?"Haven't seen his grandson in a long time now. He wanted to know everything he did in his own mouth. 

Lu Chen talks about what happened to him for the past few days. Talking about how he got into the top ten on his test, got profit from stocks, and studying in business.
