Chapter 632: So Many Assets?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Bai looked at Lu Ning in disbelief.
Lu Ning started bluffing without a change in her expression.
Lu Bai: ??? What do you mean by making a will? What do you mean by squandering our family assets? Does Dad even know you’re saying these? However, in the end, when Zhou Lin heard this, he believed her a little. This was indeed what Lu Zhi could have said. Previously, Lu Zhi had also said that he wanted to make a will.
This time, Lu Ning had guessed correctly.
Zhou Lin looked at Lu Ning and was still worried. He said, “I’ll call your father.’
Lu Ning looked at him and nodded. “Okay, Uncle Zhou, give him a call.” Lu Bai: ???
Isn’t this supposed to be secret? Wouldn’t she be exposed ifhe called?
Lu Ning turned to look at him and even winked at him.
Lu Bai: ???
Lu Ning watched as Zhou Lin made the call. He held the phone by his ear and did not speak for a long time.
No one picked up. He called again three times straight, but no one picked up.
Lu Ning looked at Zhou Lin. “Uncle Zhou, my father is really taking care of Jingzhi. Jingzhi is sick, his illness is very serious.”
She looked serious and did not look like she was lying at all.
Zhou Lin looked at her and hesitated. In the end, he really believed her.
“Alright. Tell me, what do you want to know? Has your father told you about the assets?”
Zhou Lin actually did not completely believe it. This question was to test Lu Ning.
Lu Ning came prepared. When she heard this, she immediately replied, “Dad said that he prepared all the shops in the north of the city for me. There’s also a building in the city…”
The more Lu Bai listened, the more ridiculous it sounded.
What? What shop? What building?
He had guessed that his parents were hiding something from them, but he did not know the details at all. He did not know anything about this shop or building.
When Zhou Lin heard this, he completely believed her. These were all new additions, and if Lu Zhi had told Lu Ning about them, then it meant that he had really told her everything.
Zhou Lin was completely unsuspecting now.
Lu Ning took out the things in her briefcase and showed them to Lu Ning.
“Not long ago, your father asked me to organize all his assets. These are the details, take a look. Your father did say that these are all yours, while he told me that your brothers were to earn their fortunes themselves…”
Lu Bai: ???
Daddy! Aren’t your sons your children too?!
Lu Bai looked at them in confusion.
Lu Ning looked at the thick stack of A4 paper. It was even thicker than a book.
Her eyebrows twitched. When she saw the details of the first messages sent by Song Wenqi, she did not believe it. From the looks of it, there were actually more than that.
Zhou Lin had no idea that he had already fallen into Lu Nings trap. He was still explaining things to her foolishly.
Lu Ning felt a headache coming on as she listened.
It was not even an issue of how large their assets were—they were easily dozens or even hundreds of times more than the Lù family’s.
Wasn’t I here to help my family escape poverty and become rich? When did my family become the richest?
Lu Ning felt that if she continued to look, her head would hurt even more.
Hence, she quickly stopped thinking about it and pretended to be calm as she looked at Zhou Lin.
“Uncle Zhou, my father has told me most of this. What I want to know is about the past.”
Zhou Lin was stunned. “The past?”
Lu Ning nodded. “Yes.. In the past, why did my parents come to A City from the capital? Why couldn’t these assets be placed under my parents’ names? Why did they have to be placed under their friends’ names to help safeguard them? What happened that made my parents so anxious to move out with their family?”
