Chapter 996: What a Gesture to Do

Lu Shanmin looked at Tian Heng in a daze, and thought of Luo Zhixuan, the migrant worker who stole cables for his son to buy a house, and committed suicide by jumping off the building after being discovered, and also thinking of Hu Weiyong, who racked his brains in order to change his son, and had planned to retire and enjoy happiness, but he went out of the mountain again to enter the Shanhai Group.

He wondered what that mighty man would say to a five-year-old boy, and what he would say to himself if he were alive.

Although Tian Heng's eyes narrowed into a slit, he could see that there was a strong look of admiration in his eyes.

"I plucked up the courage to ask him how it would take to be a hero like him."

"He crouched down, touched my head, gave me a gentle smile, and said, 'If you want to, you can be a hero.'"

Saying that, he laughed, and the heroic momentum combined with his face at the moment looked quite weird. "I have always kept this sentence in my heart."

"With your appearance, a pig's head-like face, I think the bear is almost the same." Xiao Nizi, who didn't know when she came over, unconsciously poured a basin of cold water, extinguishing the original solemn atmosphere.

Tian Heng turned his head to look at Xiao Nizi, smiled again, and said to Lu Shanmin: "This little girl is really interesting."

Xiao Nizi did not hide the contempt in her eyes, "Just your three-legged cat kung fu, the difference is too far, if you meet a big black head, two punches will knock you down."

Tian Heng's red and swollen face was already ugly, but after hearing this, it was even more ugly, and he turned his head and asked Lu Shanmin, "Who is the big black head?"

Lu Shanmin smiled, "A friend of mine."

"More powerful than you?" Tian Heng said with a thick sense of disbelief.

"It should be fine to hit me several."

Tian Heng gasped, "It seems that your capital is not shallow."

Lu Shanmin said lightly, "Otherwise, how dare you come to Tianjing to play with you."

Tian Heng smiled, "You can't just rely on your fists to play with us." Saying that, he asked, "When will you go to Lu's house?"

"I'll go in the afternoon".

Tian Heng nodded, "Let me remind you, compared to the Tian family and your father, the Lu family not only did not have a friendship with your father back then, but hated him very much." The people of the Lu family are arrogant in their bones, except for the emperor's relatives and relatives, it is really difficult for ordinary people to get into their eyes. If Lu Songtao hadn't been obsessed with calligraphy, he would never have been able to associate with someone of your status."

There is no need for Tian Heng to remind him, Lu Shanmin also knows that the people of the Lu family are not easy to get along with, and he is thinking of another problem now.

"Did the Han family have a relationship with my dad back then"?

Tian Heng frowned, "I haven't heard of it, but I can go back and ask my grandfather."

As he spoke, he asked, "The Han family has done it"?

Lu Shanmin didn't nod or shake his head, "Just ask casually."

Walking out of the Northern Boxing Gym, Xiao Nizi said happily: "Brother Shanmin, you are so powerful, the powerhouses at the peak of the mountain realm are no longer your opponents."

Lu Shanmin rubbed the muscles on his body, grinning in pain, he had been holding back in front of Tian Heng just now, but in fact, every inch of the muscles in his body was tearing pain.

"In a few minutes, I'll be beaten to death by him."

Nizi giggled, "He dare! I'll beat him up so much that I don't even know the."

Lu Shanmin touched his face, "My face is okay."

Xiao Nizi tilted her head and smiled: "Brother Shanmin, when did you become so stinky and beautiful."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "Aren't you going to Lu's house in the afternoon, you have to pay attention to your image."

Xiao Nizi pinched Lu Shanmin's cheek, "Hehe, I'm still so handsome."

Lu Shanmin raised his hand and knocked on Xiao Nizi's head, "Go buy something, the first time you visit, the etiquette should be thoughtful."

...........

The Lu family, like the Tian family, has a much heavier family complex than the Han family and the Wu family, and the core members of the entire family live together.

The whole Lu family's house covers an area of more than 200 acres, surrounded by seven or eight single-family villas scattered in a circle, the middle is a courtyard of nearly 1,000 square meters, the courtyard pavilions and pavilions are turned around, there is a swimming pool of more than 100 square meters in the middle, each villa has an independent front and back yard, and the yard is full of exotic flowers and plants.

In the hall of one of the villas, a criticism meeting is going on.

There were three people sitting on the sofa in the hall, in addition to Lu Songtao, there were two people in their forties and fifties, one was Lu Zhenchi, and the other was Lu Hanqing, the third and fourth sons of Mrs. Lu respectively, both of whom were the pillars of the Lu Group, one was the chief executive officer and the other was the chief financial officer. Another person who walked around the hall in a hurry was Lu Wenyan, Lu Songtao's half-brother, the chairman of Hanhai Investment, the largest second-level subsidiary of the Lu Group, and the heir of the Lu family.

Lu Wenyan paced back and forth in the hall, his face pale, "Nonsense, it's just nonsense, you usually don't have to do your job, you don't even discuss such a big matter with me."

Lu Songtao looked disapproving, "It's my private matter to invite friends to my home, do I want to report to you?"

"Friend, it depends on what kind of friends you have."

"It's my business what friends I make, you don't care."

Lu Wenyan was so angry that he pointed at Lu Songtao's nose, "If Dad is not here, I will be responsible for you."

Lu Songtao also has some resentment in his heart, he has always disliked those things in business, and just wants to study calligraphy quietly, but he is often forced to go to the group by this half-brother, and he is also pulled out to talk about business.

"Dad went to England on a business trip, and Grandpa is still there. Do you want to go to grandpa to judge the theory, and see if you, who are an older brother, have the right to interfere with my friends."

Lu Wenyan was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while, the old man had already retired to recuperate and take care of family affairs, how could he, the future heir, trouble his old man for such a trivial matter.

Lu Songtao rarely contradicted him, but today he suddenly launched a ruthless attack, making him angry and didn't know what to do.

Lu Wenyan looked at Lu Hanqing and Lu Zhenchi who were sitting on the sofa, "Third uncle, fourth uncle, you are elders, do you just watch Songtao mess around."

Lu Zhenchi glanced at the two of them lightly, this generation he is still the core of the main line of the Lu family, and in the next generation, his line will slowly become a branch vein, although these two brothers are juniors, but sooner or later they will be the words of the Lu family, he has no scruples, but he always has to think about his children and grandchildren, this piece of the Lu family's main house, he and his son can still live, and they should move out when they reach their grandchildren. This is also the reason why he has not spoken, even if Lu Songtao will not become the head of the family in the future, he will not be offended if he can.

Lu Hanqing's thoughts are similar, but Lu Wenyan has already spoken, no matter what, he can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, not to mention that Lu Songtao's approach is really inappropriate, and it is also worth teaching a lesson.

"Songtao, this circle is very small, everyone knows some of the grievances between Lu Chenlong and the Nalan family back then, although there is no direct evidence to prove that Lu Chenlong died at the hands of the Nalan family, but since his son is here, he must be fighting with the Nalan family. Tianjing's big family is inextricably linked, although we will not help Lu Shanmin, but others will inevitably think too much when they see it, they will say that our Lu family helps outsiders deal with Tianjing's own nest, although our Lu family does not have to care about the views of the Nalan family, nor does we have to care about the opinions of others, but we don't look up and look down, and it will be a little embarrassing to meet in the future."

Lu Zhenchi also said: "The three of them become tigers, and people are terrible, and the big family of Tianjing is not only involved in emotions and connections, but also has a lot of cooperation in business, which can be regarded as a common spirit." The people of Tianjing have always been united, so that others misunderstand, our Lu family has become an outlier, and no matter how big the Lu family's business is, it cannot exist independently in Tianjing. What's more, it's not just a matter of family business, it's also about a higher level of relationships. Each family has people in power above, and if something goes wrong below, it will affect the mutual suspicion above, and the so-called involvement will affect the whole body. We really shouldn't care if you make friends, but your eldest brother's anger is not aimed at you for no reason, which is indeed a big deal."

Lu Wenyan pointed at Lu Songtao and said, "Did you hear it, it's not something you can make friends with." If you don't like family affairs, I will try to accommodate you, you are obsessed with calligraphy and do not do your job, and we are all tolerating you, but don't forget your identity, you are the second son of the Lu family, your words and deeds, and what you do, do not represent you personally, but on behalf of the entire Lu family."

Lu Songtao did not flinch at all, and looked at the angry eldest brother lightly, these words had already been cocooned in his ears, and he was even more annoyed when he heard them in his ears at the moment.

"I've already invited people, and I'll be there soon. Did you tell me to break my promise and drive him back? When did the Lu family swallow back the words they said, you can afford to lose this face, I can't afford to lose this face"?

Lu Wenyan was so angry that his face turned blue, "Okay, you can't afford to lose this face, I'll lose it, I'll let him go."

Lu Songtao stood up with a swish, "If you dare, I will immediately go and tell grandpa, grandpa has never broken his word in good faith all his life, I will let grandpa judge how you, the future heir of the family, licked back the spit that was spit out."

Lu Wenyan rushed over, grabbed Lu Songtao by the collar, and was about to slap him.

Lu Songtao raised his head, helped his gold wire glasses, and met Lu Wenyan's gaze, "You do it!"

Lu Wenyan gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at this stubborn younger brother, who is usually soft and weak and only knows how to dance and write, as long as he yells two words, he will be obedient and obedient, so that his hatred of being a brother is not steel, and today he has become indomitable because of an outsider. He didn't know for a moment whether to be glad to see his brother brave or angry at his stubbornness.

"Ahem", seeing that the two brothers were a little embarrassed, Lu Hanqing said lightly: "The two brothers have something to say, fists are not used to hit their own people." ”

Lu Zhenchi got up and pulled the two away, and said to Lu Wenyan: "Wenyan, you are usually vigorous and resolute, and you have made extraordinary achievements in your work, but this is at home, you should also restrain your temper, Songtao is your younger brother, not a subordinate in the company."

Lu Hanqing patted Lu Songtao on the shoulder, "You too, use this bull temper on family affairs, and you can also reduce the burden on your eldest brother, but if you use it on this, won't it cause trouble for your brother." When your dad came back and found out about it, the first thing he reprimanded was that your brother didn't take care of you, and you were happy to see your brother being reprimanded."

Saying that, he looked at Lu Wenyan, "Wenyan, I think it's okay this time, after all, everyone has already been invited, and it's coming soon, breaking the contract at this juncture, not only Songtao can't get over this hurdle in his heart, but it's not good for our Lu family to spread it." If the old man knew, I guess both of you would have to be severely reprimanded."

said to Lu Songtao: "Don't take it as an example, if you encounter such a major event in the future, you must discuss it with your family, and don't make decisions without permission."

..........

..........

Lu Shanmin naturally didn't know about Lu Songtao, because he was being reprimanded by his family, and he didn't know that Lu Songtao almost fought with his brother for him.

Giving gifts is a headache for him, Xiao Nizi can buy things for herself, and it is even more unreliable to let her choose gifts.

In the end, he just bought some fruits, anyway, the Lu family lacked nothing, and everything they bought was just a representation of their hearts.

Along the way, Lu Shanmin and Xiao Nizi both felt that someone was secretly following, but the person who was tracking was not a master, and he couldn't even reach the professional level of tracking. In fact, to keep track of people like the two of them, ordinary people are the most effective, because ordinary people do not have the aura and momentum of ordinary people, and it is difficult to distinguish them in the vast sea of people in big cities. On the contrary, it is easier to find those who are not high or not. The two of them are being followed today, such a stalker.

With such a clumsy tracking level, Lu Shanmin ruled out the shadow and Nalan Zhenshan at the first time, and he didn't bother to think about it, although he was a small person in Tianjing, he finally managed to enter the eyes of the group of high-ranking people, and there were many people who wanted to follow the trend and want to touch his bottom line. What's more, when he went to the Lu family today, he hoped that the more people would know, the better, otherwise he would not be able to achieve the purpose of taking advantage of the situation to deter Xiaoxiao.

Came to the Lu family as promised, Lu Songtao personally greeted him at the door, Lu Shanmin did not let Xiao Nizi follow in, on the one hand, he believed that there could be no danger in the Lu family, on the other hand, Xiao Nizi sometimes spoke a little, uh, ruined the atmosphere.

Walking into the Lu family, Lu Shanmin was an eye-opener and saw the luxury and dignity of the top wealthy families. Not to mention the luxury of these villas, not to mention how many treasures there are in the villas, just occupying such a large area in Tianjing, a city where every inch of land is valuable, is enough to make people feel the strength of the Lu family.

Along the way, Lu Shanmin never saw the rest of the Lu family except for the two nannies who were doing cleaning.

As Lu Songtao walked into one of the villas, the villa was also empty.

Lu Songtao took the fruit in Lu Shanmin's hand and said with an embarrassed smile: "Everyone in our family is very busy, and they are all at work at this time."

Seeing the rather unnatural expression on Lu Songtao's face, Lu Shanmin naturally guessed that the Lu family didn't want to see him, and because of himself, he probably had a lot of conflicts with his family.

The two chatted in the hall for a few words, and Lu Songtao brought Lu Shanmin into his calligraphy.

The study room is full of calligraphy works of all dynasties, and with the eyes of Lu Shanmin, it can be seen that they are all genuine.

Lu Shanmin not only sighed, just the calligraphy and paintings on this wall can be worth the price of several listed companies, the heritage of the Lu family is really unimaginable, but at the same time, it can be seen that the second son of Lu is more favored in the Lu family than he imagined, and it is estimated that he is the type of baby that the family loves.

"Second Brother Lu, you are Jia Baoyu who was born with Baoyu, and the Lu family is really willing to invest in you."

Lu Songtao looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and felt relieved, "I was born weak, and I almost couldn't support it, so my grandfather named me Songtao, hoping that I would be as tenacious and tenacious as a Taotao pine tree and live a long life." Because of physical reasons, the elders in the family have spoiled me since I was a child, and when my grandmother was alive, she did love me as much as Jia's mother in "Dream of Red Mansions" loved Jia Baoyu. My grandfather was afraid that I would not be able to support me, and he did not force me to participate in family affairs since I was a child, and he gave me whatever he wanted. Moreover, there are people in our family who are engaged in politics, business, and scientific research, and the only one who lacks an artistic atmosphere like me is missing. So my grandfather was also more supportive of me, whenever my dad and my brother said that I was not doing my job properly and forced me to study some family affairs, my grandfather always helped me speak, he said that playing calligraphy and painting is better than those rich sons who spend all day drinking and playing with women."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "It seems that all grandfathers in the world are the same."

Lu Songtao smiled, "Your grandfather also spoils you"?

"My calligraphy was taught by my grandfather."

"Then the old man," Lu Songtao asked triedly.

"It's been several years since I died".

Lu Songtao smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry."

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "It's okay, grandpa walked very peacefully, when he died, he told me that it's okay to cry, but it's over after crying, and the road has to go on in the future, if he has been immersed in sadness, it will make him walk uneasy."

Lu Songtao nodded, "It's a pity that such a calligraphy master didn't have the opportunity to pay homage in person."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "It's okay, my grandfather left a lot of works during his lifetime, and when I return to my hometown when I am free, I will bring you a few copies."

"Really"?

"Of course it's true, you can give me such a precious inkstone, what's not to do."

Lu Songtao's face flushed, "That's different, after all, the inkstone is something outside the body, and your grandfather's work is a relic left to you by his old man, and the meaning is very different."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "It's okay, my grandfather is a person who loves calligraphy, if he is still alive, he will definitely like you, maybe he will write two works for you by hand."

"Then I'll thank you in advance."

Lu Shanmin looked at Lu Songtao with a smile, and Lu Songtao was a little embarrassed, and touched his cheek, "Do you have something on my face?"

"Second Brother Lu, I should thank you."

Lu Songtao smiled bitterly, "How can you worry about it."
