421 Preparing a Gift
Falling was normal during the early stages of rehabilitation. Lu Gan knew that and kept pushing on.
Lu Gan did not mind the pain, but he was worried that Lu Suo and Song Yujin might feel uneasy. Therefore, he never brought them along. Most of the time, his assistant and driver accompanied him.
Xiao Li watched as Lu Gan fell over and over again. In the beginning, he could not stand at all. His legs could not bear the weight. Fortunately, there were improvements. Lu Gan successfully stood for one second, then three seconds, and subsequently, five seconds. Now, he could stand by himself for a full thirty seconds. It was an amazing achievement.
“Did you see that? I stood up!”
Lu Gan sat on the ground. He drank big gulps of water while sweating profusely.
Xiao Li nodded and smiled.
“There’s a good chance you’ll make a full recovery.”
“I know. When that time comes, I can finally take revenge.”
A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Lu Gan’s eyes.
Xiao Li nodded again.
Lu Gan had been hiding and honing his claws. He was never demoralized. Once he recovered, he would attack.
“Do you think my father will reveal his true colors before my legs recover?”
“Your legs will probably recover first.”
Lu Gan shook his head.
“I don’t think so. Lu Jie has been in power for more than half a year. Many shareholders have started to pledge their loyalty to him. My father won’t allow the Lu Corporation to change owners. Something big will happen soon. Are you looking forward to it? I am. Besides, Lu Jie is short-sighted and greedy. Sooner or later, he’ll get himself into trouble.”
Xiao Li was conflicted. Nobody wanted to fight with their parents like this. The Lu family only appeared harmonious on the surface. Behind the scenes, they were betraying each other for power.
“Is the Madam coming back soon?”
Xiao Li decided to change the topic.
Once Song Ci was mentioned, Lu Gan’s expression immediately changed to kind and gentle.
“Yes. She’ll be home tomorrow.”
“I bet the Madam will be overjoyed if she sees you standing up.”
Xiao Li laughed.
“I’m not letting her know yet.”
Lu Gan smiled sincerely and continued, “It’ll be a surprise on her birthday.”
“We’ll have to practice more at the hospital.”
“No, she’ll insist on following. I’m going to wait until she goes to work again.”
Lu Gan was still a prideful man. He did not want Song Ci to see him fall.
“Okay. Let’s practice a bit more before she gets back.”
Lu Gan agreed and slowly stood up using the rehabilitation equipment. He wanted to hug Song Ci properly on her birthday. The longer, the better. Every second counted.
Meanwhile, Song Yujin and Lu Suo were preparing Song Ci’s birthday present on the second floor.
Lu Suo stared at Song Yujin while holding a painting in his hands.
Song Yujin looked up and asked, “Why are you staring at me?”
