Grandpa Lu was very biased towards the younger generation. Lu Bozhou's father was strictly disciplined from childhood and didn't receive much affection from the old man.

My eldest and second uncles, on the other hand, were spoiled rotten and became good-for-nothings.

Grandpa Lu later learned his lesson and realized that spoiling someone too much would ruin them.

But it was too late. Regardless of whether the old man was indulgent or not, the eldest and second uncles themselves were very lenient with their children.

Under Lu Hong's high expectations, Lu Bozhou excelled from a young age. The old man always treated Lu Bozhou quite well.

Before his death, he left some inheritance to Lu Bozhou, which was more than what Lu Bolin and the others had received.

What Lu Bozhou obtained was utterly insignificant.

No one expected that the old man had left him something else besides these.

“The assets and connections that Old Master Lu left him, if the Lu family is strong and stable, will not cause any turmoil to the Lu family. They will only bring benefits to Lu Bozhou.” Jiang Shan said, “The assets and connections that Old Master Lu left him will not cause any turmoil to the Lu family. They will only bring benefits to Lu Bozhou.”

"But if the Lu family is in turmoil and its foundation is unstable due to the squandering of its descendants, then what the old man left for Lu Bozhou will be able to do that."

"Old Master Lu was shrewd all his life. He probably left this behind because he knew that the Lu family's descendants might be quite disappointing. If things really come to a head, leaving this for Lu Bozhou would at least save the Lu family business."

Jiang Mian was unaware of these matters, and Lu Bozhou would never have told her about them in their two lifetimes.

Perhaps his intention was to prevent Jiang Mian from knowing too much, because the more she knew, the more danger she would face. But concealment is concealment, and deception is deception.

Even a white lie is only truly okay if the person being deceived feels it's alright.

After hearing this, Jiang Mian was momentarily stunned, and then she almost laughed.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shan asked, noticing her strange expression.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly found it quite funny," Jiang Mian said. "Xu Yawei fell in love with Lu Bolin because she knew he had inherited the Lu family."

Although Jiang Mian didn't know many things, she did know this one.

Because I've heard many people say those hurtful things.

It's simply because Lu Bolin inherited the Lu family fortune, and Xu Yawei secretly harbors feelings for him. If it weren't for that, Lu Bozhou wouldn't even be in Jiang Mian's league.

Who knows? After all the twists and turns, it's now Lu Bozhou who's going to take over the Lu family.

"That's why people never know what the future holds, or what tomorrow will bring." Jiang Shan patted Jiang Mian on the shoulder. "Just live in the present."

He was initially worried that his daughter's mood might be affected by Lu Bozhou's situation, but it seems that Jiang Mian is doing alright so far.

Jiang Shan and Song Wan were relieved.

Song Wan only had one concern: "Should we tell the child about this?"

If it were other children, they wouldn't understand these things at all, and there's nothing to say about it.

But Lu Chaochi was smart from a young age and wasn't completely ignorant of these things.

Song Wan didn't know whether she needed to tell Lu Chaochi.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Mian quickly made a decision, "Let's wait a couple of days. I'll have a video call with his father in a couple of days. If Lu Bozhou wants the child to know, he'll tell him."

Song Wan thought for a moment and nodded, "That works too."

Jiang Mian felt quite calm inside, and the news didn't change her at all.

But that night, I still couldn't sleep.

What flashes through my mind are images and fragments of him from past and present lives.

I didn't fall into a deep sleep until late at night.

Meanwhile, far away in Los Angeles...

The empty house was very quiet and deserted, with hardly any human presence.

As Song Xun stepped into the entrance hall, he could almost feel the chill that greeted him.

He sighed softly.

Song Xu followed behind him and turned on the switch on the wall of the entrance hall, and the lights in the hallway came on.

Song Xu adjusted the temperature of the central air conditioning again before going upstairs.

She had no intention of going to the bedroom at all, and went straight to the third floor, as if she already knew that Lu Bozhou would definitely be on the third floor.

The door to the room on the third floor was ajar.

As soon as Song Xu opened the door, he smelled a faint odor of blood, and he frowned.

The lights were turned on.

The man, sitting on the floor beside the bed with his back against the bed, raised his hand to shield his eyes from the bright light.

He sat on the floor, leaning against the edge of the bed.

One of his lean, long legs was bent, and the other was crossed.

His arm rested on his knee, and blood was still seeping from the wound on his forearm, dripping onto the ground along his fingers.

Song Xu frowned and walked over. His movements were simple and rough. He examined the wound carefully, then stood up. "I'll go to the car to get the first-aid kit."

Song Xu quickly brought up a first-aid kit, kicked over a trash can, soaked cotton balls in disinfectant, and hung Lu Bozhou's arm over the trash can to disinfect and clean the wound.

The disinfectant mixed with blood turned a pale red, which appeared quite vivid on the white garbage bag inside the trash can.

The disinfectant stung the wound, but Lu Bozhou seemed oblivious to it.

"You'll need a tetanus shot too. It's too late today, I'll bring it for you tomorrow." After cleaning his wound, Song Xu sprinkled hemostatic powder on it, applied a dressing, and then wrapped it tightly with an elastic bandage.

"Don't use your hand too hard. The wound hasn't been stitched up yet. It'll be troublesome if it bursts open again." Song Xu tidied up the medical waste and rolled it into a garbage bag.

Then he asked, "How did this happen? Have they caught the person?"

“We caught them.” Song Xun nodded. “But it’s useless. They’re just people who pay money to do things. Don’t even think about it.”

This incident has threatened the interests of the Lu family. Even if it wasn't Lu Bolin, it definitely couldn't be Lu Bozhou.

So it's not just Lu Bolin who's in a hurry now, but also the entire Lu family on that boat.

Song Xu frowned. "You should at least lay low for a while. Why did you have to come back at this time? Wouldn't it have been better to stay at the company?"

Lu Bozhou looked up at him, his voice calm and without any emotion, "I reply every day."

That's why someone took advantage of the situation and hired people to hide in the underground parking lot.

As soon as Lu Bozhou stepped out of the elevator, people rushed up to him, but the bodyguards reacted quickly.

Although Lu Bozhou was still injured, the damage had been minimized.

The bodyguards' failure to come down the elevator a step earlier could already be considered negligence. However, in protecting Lu Bozhou at the time of the incident, one bodyguard sustained a serious injury, with a severed tendon, demonstrating his dedication.

Song Xu frowned and said, "Then you can work from home from now on."

After Song Xu finished speaking, he saw a cold, indifferent twitch at the corner of Lu Bozhou's usually expressionless face.

"Why should I hide from them? I've lost my wife and children, all to fight these people to the death." Lu Bozhou glanced at Song Xun. "Have you made arrangements for everyone in Jiangcheng?"
