Chapter 240: How Could There Possibly Be a Child

Over there, Qu Qianqian heard, her beautiful big eyes widened, and she quickly pulled her dad over, urging him: "Daddy! I also want Ms. Li Li!"

Qu Sinian touched his nose and smiled tactfully, "Actually... I wouldn’t mind raising two daughters."

Song Qingwan: "..."

Zhang Yiming also shouted: "Dad, dad, I want Li Li too!"

Ms. Li Li is so beautiful!

And she is so nice!

Zhang Dazhuang waved his hand boldly: "Sure!"

Saying that, he then grinned at the expressionless Lu Junhan:

"President Lu, how much would it cost for your daughter to..."

Lu Junhan squinted his eyes slightly, reached out, and took the little girl from Jian Yi’s arms.

Then, under everyone’s expectant gaze, he coldly laughed,

"If you don’t want to die, all of you better get the hell out of here!"

Everyone: "..."

But none of the big shots showed any disappointment. Everyone knew well, it’s all just a joke.

Only Pei Mingzhi looked regretful:

"Really not exchanging? My son’s intelligence level exceeds that of a genius, you wouldn’t find another like him among tens of thousands of children..."

Pei Xiubai slightly turned his head, his lips curved like flower petals, and said gently:

"Dad, if you want to die, I can make that happen for you."

With the words just out of his mouth, nobody knows which button Pei Xiubai pressed on the wheelchair!

With a "shua," a sharp knife emerged from the wheelchair, stabbing directly at Pei Mingzhi.

Pei Mingzhi seemed to be well-prepared. Smiling, he lightly shifted to the side, easily dodging the knife that could have made him childless and regretful for life.

"Is this your new invention?"

Pei Mingzhi walked back a few steps, looking relaxed as if nothing had happened—as if the one attempting to kill him wasn’t his own son.

And he even smiled, praised, "Beautiful."

With a "ka," who knows which button he pressed, the knife quickly retracted into the wheelchair.

The youth slightly nodded, smiling as well: "Thank you."

Others: "..."

Truly... a bizarre father and son.

Lu Junhan was not surprised at all, his expression without any ripple.

If Pei Mingzhi had been stabbed and bled all over, Lu Junhan might have applauded.

But just at this level, if Pei Mingzhi couldn’t dodge it, then it would only show that he’s really gotten old.

...

When the banquet officially started, Song Qingwan introduced the little girl’s identity.

Though most of the guests had already guessed she was Lu Junhan’s daughter upon entering and seeing her by his side,

hearing Song Qingwan formally announce it to the public still took them by surprise.

After all, given Lu Junhan’s dislike for children and women, he seemed destined to be single for life.

Yet now, suddenly a three-year-old daughter emerged, anyone would find it hard to stay calm.

Recalling Jian Yi’s preferential comments earlier about boys, Song Qingwan paused, and then smilingly said:

"Moreover, I know there are many misunderstandings about us, the Lu Family, right now, such as saying that we favor boys over girls, dislike daughters, and there are even some deluded ones who try to exchange their sons for our family’s little heiress."

Jian Yi remained expressionless below the stage.

Pei Mingzhi smiled but said nothing.

"Here, I solemnly declare to everyone, favoring boys over girls, not liking daughters are all groundless rumors! Lu Li is our Lu Family’s child, and will also be the only heir to the Lu Family!"

Song Qingwan’s "only heir" statement caused the audience below to burst into murmurs.

In wealthy families, the inheritance generally goes to boys, even when girls have rights to the inheritance, they must have a brother or a younger brother above them.

But now Song Qingwan says Lu Li is the Lu Family’s only heir.

Everything of the Lu Family in the future would be hers.

Enough to show how cherished she is by the Lu Family.

Lu Qi’s mother, Chen Susu, heard and hated it so much she could hardly contain her anger.

"What do you mean the Lu Family’s only heir, isn’t our Qiqi part of the Lu Family too? Why is all the property Lu Li’s, what about Lu Qi’s? No way! I’m going to find the old man to explain this!"

Lu Tianhua quickly pulled her back, scolding: "Are you crazy! The old man is now busy preparing the gift for Lu Li’s one-year-old catch-the-hoop ceremony, if you go over in haste like this, grandfather might not even listen to you, he’ll just kick you out!"

"Then what do we do?" Chen Susu was unwilling:

"Without inheritance rights for Qiqi, we won’t get a single share of the Lu Family’s property. Also, I don’t understand what the old man is thinking, taking Qiqi to raise him himself. Are we going to abuse him? We are his biological parents! I think grandpa’s getting old and muddled; if we don’t fight for it, we’ll truly have nothing left!"

"Actually, it’s not impossible."

Lu Tianhua suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, he pulled Chen Susu over, lowered his voice:

"Do you remember what cousin’s wife told us before?"

Chen Susu frowned, "... Cousin’s wife?"

"Ye Wanwan!" Seeing her still puzzled, Lu Tianhua seemed exasperated, "the actress wife of cousin Song Chengze, Madam Song, Ye Wanwan!"

"Her?" Chen Susu remembered, "What did she say to you?"

Lu Tianhua glanced around, seeing no one was paying attention to them, he lowered his voice and said:

"Cousin’s wife inadvertently revealed to me that Lu Li actually isn’t Lu Junhan’s biological child!"

Chen Susu’s eyes widened: "Not biological?"

"Why are you speaking so loudly!" Lu Tianhua snapped, "Afraid others won’t hear, huh?"

"I’m just too surprised," Chen Susu lowered her voice, frowning,

"But how is that possible! Lu Junhan with that personality, couldn’t possibly raise someone else’s daughter! Besides, he dislikes children so much, if Lu Li wasn’t his own, why would he raise her? And for such a long time? Unless he’s gone mad!"

"How would I know what Lu Junhan is thinking!" Lu Tianhua said: "But looking at cousin’s wife’s expression, it doesn’t seem like she’s lying. If you think about it, isn’t it not entirely impossible? You think, over the years, when have you seen a woman by Lu Junhan’s side? No woman means no children!"

With that, Chen Susu truly felt it made a lot of sense.

Lu Tianhua squinted his eyes slightly, menacingly sinister smile flashed:

"Once the fact that Lu Li isn’t a Lu Family member is exposed to grandpa, that old man who values the Lu Family lineage wouldn’t just do nothing, nor watch as Song Qingwan hands over the family’s enormous legacy to someone with a different surname."

Lu Tianhua: "By the time it’s all cleared up, the only one among the younger generation eligible to inherit the Lu Family would be our Qiqi!"

Chen Susu’s gaze flickered, a trace of malice crossed in her eyes:

"Why only tell grandpa? Raising someone else’s child is such a shameful thing, shouldn’t making this scandal as big as possible be the best choice?"
