Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Father and Son

"What? Don’t believe me? Mr. Lu, you really underestimate the good son you’ve raised. I’ve said all there is to say, believe it or not, it’s up to you. I’m busy, won’t see you out." Xu Jie stood up gracefully and left, leaving Lu Yong’an in disbelief by himself.

After leaving the meeting room, Xu Jie knocked on Xu Ke’s door once more and went inside, respectfully saying, "The task you assigned has been completed, and everything went smoothly." Seeing Lu Yong’an’s appearance just now, Xu Ke’s standing in her mind had reached an unprecedented height. She was already very respectful to Xu Ke, but now she had an added sense of awe.

"Hmm, you handle the follow-up, no need to report to me anymore," Xu Ke replied without even looking up. Currently, the Lu Company was like a bag in his hand, nothing worth paying attention to, so Xu Ke entrusted everything to Xu Jie.

"Yes, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."

"Hmm, go ahead," Xu Ke answered.

On the other side, instead of returning to the company, Lu Yong’an went straight to the hospital. Xu Jie’s words weighed heavily on his chest like a boulder. He painstakingly recalled everything from the past month, and upon reflection, he found a problem.

The Lu Family issues started after Lu Chi was beaten. Previously, he would never have suspected his son, but Xu Jie’s words left him no choice. Why did the problems arise right after he was beaten, not sooner or later? Who beat him, and why hadn’t he said anything? The more Lu Yong’an thought about it, the more it seemed that the cause of all this lay with Lu Chi.

In the past, he truly liked his son, but after a month of struggle and torment, his nerves and emotions were stretched to the limit. He desperately needed a target for his anger and a way to release it. Lu Yong’an’s face gradually twisted into a grimace, frightening the driver who didn’t dare breathe heavily, bringing Lu Yong’an to the hospital as quickly as possible.

Seeing Lu Yong’an charging into the hospital with murderous intent, the driver quickly called Lu’s mother, informing her of Lu’s father’s situation. Although Lu’s mother did not know what her husband intended to do, her intuition felt ominous, so she handed over her work to a secretary and rushed to the hospital. She had noticed her husband’s recent condition and feared that he might, under Xu Jie’s influence, do something regrettable to Lu Chi. noveldrama

In the hospital, Lu Chi had long since woken up and was already able to slowly get out of bed and walk. When Lu Yong’an arrived, he was watching TV out of boredom, as his hands were bandaged like steamed buns and he couldn’t play games.

Lu Chi looked at Lu Yong’an, who suddenly barged in, and excitedly called out, "Dad!" But then he noticed Lu Yong’an’s unusual demeanor. His expression was very grim and menacing, which made Lu Chi uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen. He swallowed nervously and quietly asked, "Dad, what’s wrong?"

"I ask you, what happened to your injury a month ago? Did you provoke Xu Jie and get beaten by her?" Lu Yong’an asked with a grim face.

"Dad, why are you asking this?" Lu Chi was somewhat confused.

"I ask, and you answer. How did you get your injuries? Who did you provoke, and who hit you?" Lu Yong’an’s eyes were fixated on Lu Chi, not missing any expression on his face.

Seeing the increasingly grim expression on his father’s face and his heavy breathing, Lu Chi dared not hide anything and quickly confessed everything that happened a month ago in detail, saying, "These injuries were all from Xu Ke, that coward. I only provoked Xu Ke, that coward, not Xu Jie. I’m not that stupid; I know better than to provoke her." Lu Chi glanced at his father’s expression and said.

"Did you really only provoke Xu Ke?" His father asked again, still not reassured.

"When have I ever lied? Just him, that’s it." Lu Chi raised his voice slightly, protesting against his father’s doubt.

"That’s true. You’ve never lied since you were a child," his father muttered to himself, his grim expression replaced with bewilderment, as he slowly sat on Lu Chi’s bed. Although Lu Chi had many flaws and shortcomings, he never lied to the family. If asked about something he didn’t want to mention, he would become silent, so Lu’s father didn’t suspect Lu Chi of lying. He was just too shocked.

"Dad, what’s wrong?" Lu Chi asked worriedly upon seeing his father’s expression, then wanted to press the call button on the hospital bed to summon the doctors and nurses to check on his father.

Lu Chi’s action was stopped by his father, who sternly said, "I’m thinking about something, don’t disturb me."

Recently, his son had only been in conflict with Xu Ke, and shortly after the conflict with Xu Ke, Jiahe took action against the Lu Company. Xu Jie also claimed that everything stemmed from his son. It meant everything happened because of the conflict between Lu Chi and Xu Ke, leading Xu Jie to retaliate against the Lu Family. It was all too incredible. Who would have thought that the Lu Family would be suppressed to such a degree because of a coward?

Who would have thought!

Lu Yong’an laughed, laughed loudly, bending over with laughter, and tears even trickled from the corners of his eyes.

This abnormal behavior from Lu Yong’an made Lu Chi’s unease grow stronger. He struggled to sit up straighter and looked at Lu Yong’an on the bed in surprise, "Dad, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly laughing?" Lu Chi didn’t notice, but his voice was shaky because Father Lu didn’t seem like a normal person at the moment. Would a normal person laugh like this?

Father Lu straightened up, wiped his tears, "I’m fine, I just realized something really funny." Father Lu curled his lips in a near smile, with a strange and grim expression, tinged with an indescribable sadness.

On the other side, Lu’s mother’s heart was racing as if something bad had happened. She dared not stop even at red lights, racing all the way to the hospital.

"How long ago did the sir go up?" Lu’s mother asked the driver waiting for Lu Yong’an outside the hospital as soon as she parked the car and climbed out anxiously.

"About half an hour ago."

After hearing the answer, Lu’s mother rushed frantically into the hospital, disregarding her usual grace and composure. She only stopped when she reached the door of Lu Chi’s hospital ward, trembling as she slowly opened the door and turned her head towards the direction of the bed. Seeing both father and son were fine, Lu’s mother finally felt the soreness and aches in her body, but her heart was no longer pounding as hard.
