Chapter 52: Li Li Can Fish (2)

The old man snorted heavily, his sinister, aged eyes fixating on the little girl, and said coldly:

"Good intentions? Hmph, I think it’s because I just said ’girls are useless’ about her, and now she’s deliberately trying to see me make a fool of myself!"

"Dad, Li Li really didn’t..."

"Enough," the old man waved his hand, cutting her off, and said with a cold hardness, "I have eyes, I can see for myself!"

If it weren’t for the fear of being rebellious, the usually hot-tempered Song Qingwan really wanted to shout:

You have eyes like a fart!

Such a cute, well-behaved little girl, you can’t even see, and you’re telling me you have eyes?

But Song Qingwan knew he wouldn’t listen.

The old man was already partial to males over females, didn’t like little girls, and didn’t like women.

He was cold-blooded and unfeeling, only seeing family and profits, with power being paramount.

For the sake of power, he could even do whatever it takes, akin to a cold, unfeeling machine.

When his wife Wen Wanwan passed away, even the five-year-old brother would cry loudly for their mother’s departure, but not the old man. His eyes only saw work, only his career—cold and ruthless.

Even to Liu Hui Lan, who had been with him for many years and saved him many times, he was merciless to the bone.

The old man initially wanted to brush her off with money; if it weren’t for Liu Hui Lan having his child, she probably wouldn’t have even gotten through the Lu Family’s door.

But entering didn’t help; many times the old man outright ignored her, only occasionally remembering her. Liu Hui Lan’s status in the Lu Family was almost no better than a servant.

And now, the old man seemed to value Lu Junhan, that brat, but it was mainly because he’s a boy, a legitimate member of the Lu Family who could inherit the Lu Family’s business, thereby receiving a bit of the old man’s favor.

Apart from that, if you talk about the grandfather’s feelings for his grandson, it’s probably just a tiny bit.

Though only a tiny bit, it’s still much better than for anyone else.

However, at the moment, even though Lu Junhan has a child, it’s a girl; getting past the old man might be very difficult...

Especially since the old man and Liu Hui Lan also have a great-grandson.

And that’s a legitimate boy for sure!

He also has Lu Family’s blood flowing through him, deeply favored by the old man, only lacking legitimate recognition.

...

Liu Hui Lan’s beautiful, gentle face was quite pale. Looking around and seeing that no one in the living room noticed her, she hurriedly took her phone and rushed upstairs.

She locked herself in her room, relentlessly dialing her grandson Lu Tianhua:

"Hello, Grandma, anything up?"

Lu Tianhua seemed to be playing cards in a box, as there were many rowdy background noises.

Liu Hui Lan was exasperated: "Why are you out messing around again? Can’t you learn from your brother Lu Junhan, be a little ambitious!"

"What’s so great about Lu Junhan? Isn’t he where he is because of that woman Song Qingwan? Learn from him? Haha, learn to rely on a woman?"

Even through a phone, you could hear the disdain and contempt in Lu Tianhua’s tone.

"It’s not the time to talk about this now. You go home right away and bring Qiqi to the old house..."

"Didn’t I just bring him over a few days ago?" Lu Tianhua was very impatient, "Why do it again today..."

"Lu Junhan came," Liu Hui Lan said urgently, "and he brought his daughter! The old man even said he wants to give 9% of Lu’s shares to Lu Junhan!"

"What?!" Lu Tianhua was shocked; he even stopped playing cards and quickly asked, "Did Grandpa really give them?"

"Isn’t that so!"

"Grandma, why didn’t you stop him!"

"I wanted to stop it too, but what I say doesn’t count!" Liu Hui Lan couldn’t help complaining, "You know your grandfather’s character; when has he ever paid attention to women! I won’t say much more. You hurry up and bring Qiqi over. Old Man has always doted on Qiqi; you never know, seeing Qiqi might please him, and he’d give you those 9% shares!"

...

Let me explain.

The old man is really trashy, but he’s that kind of cold-blooded person. He doesn’t like Liu Hui Lan, nor does he like Wen Wanwan; he only cares if the Lu Family can continue, an old fossil who only likes boys, but if this cold-blooded person really likes a child... you get it.
