Chapter 49: The Old Man’s Favoritism (3)
Chapter 49: The Old Man’s Favoritism (3)
Before getting married, Grandpa had a regular lover to satisfy his physical needs, and that person was Liu Hui Lan.
Liu Hui Lan was a doctor and had saved Grandpa numerous times. They became close through these interactions.
But unfortunately, Liu Hui Lan’s family background wasn’t high, so she wasn’t a match for Grandpa, let alone marry him.
Grandpa naturally never thought of marrying her and only saw her as a tool to vent his desires. To him, money, power, benefits, and even family always came before women.
And Grandpa’s wife, Wen Wanwan, was a legitimate wealthy heiress, and their marriage was a wealthy family alliance.
Grandpa was particularly ambitious and a typical workaholic.
During that busy time, Grandpa was often not at home. After Wen Wanwan gave birth to her brother, she had no one to accompany her, became miserable, got cancer, and passed away shortly after.
Over the years, Grandpa never remarried and never reconnected with Liu Hui Lan. However, at a banquet, Grandpa, either drugged or drunk, found himself waking up in bed with her.
Later, Liu Hui Lan became pregnant.
By the time Grandpa found out, the child was already born, a boy, and it was too late for an abortion.
After all, it was his child, so he couldn’t leave him outside. Grandpa brought the child back to the Lu Family.
And after Liu Hui Lan’s persistent pleading, she also entered the Lu Family, becoming Grandpa’s unacknowledged lover.
But after that, Grandpa’s relationship with his brother began to deteriorate.
Wen Wanwan’s family was in business for generations. The brother despised Grandpa and longed for their mother, so he gave up inheriting Grandpa’s power and status and instead founded the Lu Family himself.
Afterwards, the father-son relationship worsened, with Liu Hui Lan’s instigation playing a part.
After all, Grandpa’s family wealth was limited. If the brother had a hard time, her son would fare better.
But every time Liu Hui Lan would disavow her actions, pretending to act in the brother’s best interest.
So Song Qingwan loathed Liu Hui Lan’s hypocritical behavior.
Every time she saw her, she wouldn’t have a pleasant expression.
The reason she hasn’t returned to the old house over the years, aside from fearing Grandpa, is her disgust for Liu Hui Lan, preferring not to see her.
Lu Junhan didn’t even glance at her, completely ignoring Liu Hui Lan, and with a milk candy in his mouth, he directly looked at Grandpa and said coldly, "What do you want?"
Liu Hui Lan looked embarrassed, not knowing where to put her hands.
Seeing him like this, Grandpa showed displeasure: "Your Aunt Liu is talking to you! Didn’t you hear?!"
Without a word, Lu Junhan got up and said indifferently, "If there’s nothing, I’ll be going first."
"Sit down!"
Grandpa looked at this grandson, feeling both love and hate.
After his father had an incident, for some special reason, he couldn’t adopt them. As he grew up, Lu Junhan had little contact with him. If Grandpa didn’t call for him, this brat wouldn’t even bother coming back.
He coughed heavily, his gaze subconsciously sweeping over the obedient little loli sitting on the sofa, authoritatively saying, "I heard you’ve recently recognized a daughter."
"It’s none of your business."
"What do you mean it’s none of my business!" Grandpa said gravely, "I’m her Grandpa. Although she’s just a useless girl, she’s at least your first child..."
With a blank expression, Lu Junhan stood up from the sofa, said nothing, and coldly turned to leave.
"Wait! You get back here!"
Grandpa pondered for a moment and said, "As long as you two stay here overnight tonight, I can give you 5% of the Lu Family shares that I hold!"
Before Lu Junhan could speak, Liu Hui Lan had already exclaimed in shock, "Are you crazy?! That’s 5% of the shares!"
"What do you, a woman, know about business!" Grandpa frowned, saying sternly, "My shares, I can use them however I want. I don’t need you to tell me what to do."
Liu Hui Lan knew his temper, her heart skipped a beat, and she awkwardly smiled, "I-I didn’t mean it that way, I was just shocked..."
