"Grandpa, I’m worried about you, so I came back to check on you, but these people are blocking me from entering."
Lu Jingchen reined in his previously arrogant demeanor and immediately switched to being the obedient grandson.
Beside him, Lu Jinghan stood with his hands in his pockets next to Old Sir Lu, his sharp and poised eyebrows showing an icy coldness without a trace of warmth.
He doesn’t believe Lu Jingchen has come back out of concern for the old man.
"Big brother, you’re here too."
Lu Jingchen greeted Lu Jinghan with a cheerful smile, acting so diligently that one might think they had a great relationship.
Lu Jinghan responded with a cold sneer, ignoring him completely without any reply.
"Tell me, what’s the real reason you’re back?"
Smart as Old Sir Lu, he pierced directly to the heart of the matter.
Lu Jingchen stood outside the iron gate and sighed with a sense of helplessness: "Grandpa, I truly am worried about you, that’s the only reason I came to see you, absolutely no ulterior motives. Even if you don’t want to acknowledge me, your blood runs through my veins, and this familial bond can’t be severed."
Lu Jingchen passionately performed a drama of sorrow, hoping to win over the old man. He wasn’t in a rush; as long as Old Sir Lu allowed him in today, he could gradually work his way back into living here.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was truly out of money, he wouldn’t be sticking around like a clingy puppy.
Old Sir Lu looked at Lu Jinghan and asked hesitantly: "Should we let him in?"
After all, he is his biological grandson, and Old Sir Lu didn’t want to be too harsh, but he was also considering Lu Jinghan’s feelings, feeling truly torn.
Lu Jinghan gazed at Lu Jingchen with calm eyes and slightly parted lips: "If you’re out of money or facing any trouble, just say so. Maybe I can help."
Lu Jingchen was so pleased that he forgot to think and blurted out: "Big brother, write me a check, will you? I’m a bit tight on cash right now."
Lu Jinghan’s lips curled into a frosty smile: "You come back pretending to see Grandpa, but it’s really just to get money. What’s wrong, the Ji Family can’t support you, the young master, anymore?"
Only then did Lu Jingchen realize that his little scheme had been exposed, and he shouted angrily: "Lu Jinghan, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have fallen into this miserable state. Stop pretending to be righteous, Grandpa is muddle-headed to be fooled by you, people have been dead for years, is it necessary to drive us to extinction?"
"You bastard, shut up, and get him out of here immediately."
Old Sir Lu started coughing in anger, waving his hand to signal Housekeeper Li to escort him out.
"Yes, sir," replied Housekeeper Li politely, then gestured for the gatekeeper to open the gate.
"Let go of me, I am the second young master of the Lu Family, who dares to touch me."
Lu Jingchen was being dragged away by several servants, but no matter how he struggled, it was futile.
"Lu Jinghan, just you wait, one day I’ll make you regret this, you bastard..."
Lu Jinghan worriedly supported Old Sir Lu: "Grandpa, are you alright?"
"I’m fine. If it weren’t for you, I would have really believed that boy’s conscience had awakened. I guess I’m getting muddled."
"It’s not that you’re muddled; it’s just that his acting is too good. Let’s go inside."
Old Sir Lu sighed, and walked into the house together with Lu Jinghan.
Han Xi remained inside the villa, not wanting to see Lu Jingchen’s nauseating demeanor, but she had heard the conversation outside loud and clear.
