Mr. Lu, don't be arrogant.

The old man nodded, "Of course it's the latter. Why, this huge family business, the hard work of several generations of the Lu family, are you thinking of giving it away?"

"I……"

"Hasn't that occurred to you?"

"not me……"

"Then you should think about it." The old man said solemnly, then asked, "I heard that Xia Xia is pregnant with Cheng Feng's child. Is that true?"

"It's true. I asked Lao Jiang to test it."

Lu Heng answered honestly.

The old man suddenly perked up, "What does Shangru mean? If he agrees, let's quickly get the two children married!"

"Old Jiang said it all depends on Xia Xia's opinion. If Xia Xia is willing to forgive Cheng Feng and marry him, he has no objection and will buy her a house nearby. If Xia Xia is willing to marry someone else, he will also fully support her and will arrange everything for the child. If Xia Xia doesn't want the child in her belly, he and Yu Qingya will take her to have an abortion. If Xia Xia wants to give birth to the child alone, he will raise the child in the Jiang family and the child will have his surname Jiang. In short, it has nothing to do with our Lu family, so we should stop worrying about it."

Lu Heng relayed Jiang Shangru's words to his father word for word.

The old man frowned when he heard this, "What does Shangru mean? Doesn't he want Xia Xia to marry into our family at all?"

"That's it!"

Lu Heng wiped away his tears and continued to relay his story to his father, "He said that his Wanying had suffered a lot of injustice in our family, and he didn't ask us to settle the score because of the respect between our two families. His Xia Xia will never suffer even a little injustice again. No matter what Xia Xia wants to do, he will fully support her, and no one can order Xia Xia around in any name or in any capacity."

"Good boy, you're a formidable character!"

Mr. Lu stood up and said, "In that case, let Chengfeng deal with it on his own. I'm afraid the more we two old bones get involved, the more chaos we'll cause."

"But Dad, aren't you worried that Cheng Feng can't handle Xia Xia?"

"What's the point of worrying?" The old man glanced in the direction of the Jiang family. "Shangru is not a pushover. If we interfere, he will probably take action. Then Chengfeng's situation will only become more difficult!"

"Can……"

"Don't say buts. If you can't even beat Lin Feng, whom he personally trained, don't even think about competing with Shang Ru. Son, take a good rest, keep your spirits up and do your own things. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so we can't mess around with them."

Mr. Lu was about to leave with the help of a cane.

Lu Heng suddenly realized something.

He hurriedly asked his father, "Dad, what did you just say? He personally trained Lin Feng? He personally trained Lin Feng? Lin Feng was trained by Jiang Shangru personally?"

"You do not know?"

The old man turned around and asked.

Lu Heng shook his head.

Old Master Lu sighed again, "I really don't know what to say to you. You didn't even know your own son was stolen."

"I……"

"Our Lin Feng is the precious son-in-law that he chose more than ten years ago. He has been bringing him up personally whenever he has time. Otherwise, do you think that he, who is so cunning and cunning, clearly knows the life stories of the three children, but when choosing a son-in-law, he chose Lin Feng over the eldest son Chengfeng and your most beloved son Yunfeng?"

"I……"

"He has better vision than you, and is more willing to invest than you. Let's not get involved in Chengfeng and Xiaxia's affairs. No matter what the outcome is, it's better than us getting involved. Facts have proven that it's better for him to raise the child than for us to raise him."

The old man said this meaningfully, and then he walked out of the house with his crutches.

Looking up at the rising spring sun in the east, the clouds of sorrow that had lingered on the face of this elderly man in his seventies for over a month finally slowly dissipated.

******

Ever since Mu Yongnian’s incident, the Mu family seemed to be under a curse. Not only did the fruit shop’s business get worse and worse, but members of the Mu family also encountered accidents one after another.

Kapok, Mutong, Liu Cuiying, one after another.

However, in just a few months, all the family savings were spent. Not counting Mu Yongnian's salary, the Mu family could not even maintain basic living.

Spring is over in a blink of an eye.

My grandmother's health never recovered after she was hospitalized due to the shock she suffered. Not to mention going out for a walk, she could rarely get up and move around even at home.

Mu Wanying was afraid that Sister Zhang couldn't take care of her grandmother alone, so she discussed it with Lu Linfeng and moved back from Furong Garden, taking on the responsibility of taking care of her grandmother together with Sister Zhang.

During that period, Lu Linfeng had no job and was relatively free. He often took his grandmother out for a walk, and tried his best to help her find famous doctors and buy all kinds of delicious food.

With the help of Sister Zhang's cooking skills, and the sisters Mu Wanying and Mu Wanxin accompanying the old man whenever they have time, the old man's health gradually improved.

But at this moment, the Mu family came again.

They are Mu Wanxin’s uncle Mu Tong and Mu Wanxin’s aunt Liu Cuiying.

They hid and dodged, using every possible means to avoid Mu Wanying and Lu Linfeng, then squeezed into the house and knelt down in front of the old lady, "Mom! I have no way to live, please help me!"

The one who was speaking was Liu Cuiying.

She put one hand on her husband's head and grabbed the old man's trouser leg with the other.

Seeing that it was too late to stop it, Sister Zhang could only call Mu Wanying and her sister and Lu Linfeng while trying every possible way to protect her grandmother.

Grandma seemed to notice and immediately hung up Sister Zhang's phone.

She took Sister Zhang's phone in her hand, fiddled with it a few times, and then put it in her pocket. She then held Sister Zhang hostage and refused to let her leave. She sat motionless on the sofa, her voice colder than ever before. "I'm just an old woman who can't even take care of myself. How can I help you?"

"mom!"

Liu Cuiying quickly raised her head, hugged her grandmother's legs with both hands, and cried even more sadly, "Mom! I know it's all our fault. Mu Tong and I haven't fulfilled our responsibilities as the younger generation.

But Mutong is your only son after all! Yongnian, Mumian and Zhuer are your grandchildren after all! Now that your children and grandchildren are in trouble, you can't just sit back and watch, right?"

"How can I help? Do you want my old bones? If you want them, take them. You're welcome. I won't blame you!"

The old man asked coldly.

Liu Cuiying heard that it was not good, and continued to hug the old woman's thighs and sob, "Mom! We were wrong! We were really wrong! We admit our mistakes, but you can't just ignore us! Please help us! Please, please help us!"

"I told you, I'm willing to help you, but this old bone is all I have. If you don't mind, take it. You're welcome. I gave birth to Mu Tong, so I deserve it!"

"Mom!" Liu Cuiying knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady, then hugged the old lady's legs.

The old lady remained motionless. "Cuiying, don't cry. Get up. Come on, I'll go with you. I won't refuse any help you need."

"Mom! How can you be so cruel?"

"How am I cruel? I said I'm willing to help you, what else are you not satisfied with?" The old lady started coughing.

Liu Cuiying had already loosened her arms from holding the old lady's legs, wiped the tears from her face, and changed her previous bitter expression. She pointed at the old lady on the sofa and cursed, "You know it in your heart! You can clearly help us, but you just won't let go! You just won't say a word!"

"I am not sure!"

The old lady responded decisively.

Liu Cuiying became even more angry when she heard this, and completely broke off relations with the old lady, pointing at her nose and questioning her.

"You're lying! You're Mu Wanying's grandmother. She's the daughter of the Jiang family, and she could inherit the Jiang family's trillion-dollar assets. With just a flick of her finger, our difficulties could be easily resolved. But you're playing dumb with us!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke.

No care has been taken anymore and even old accounts have been brought up.

"Mom, are you her blood relative or ours? Why is your heart always with her? I asked you to help Yongnian marry her, but you refused. Now I want to ask you to help me ask her for some money, but you still refuse. You are so heartless and ruthless. What use do we have to you?"
