Chapter 323: The Man Behind the Scenes
Ji Lanzhi said that, and she had no way to interfere with the rest of the choices.
When leaving, Lu Huaishen sent her out, and when she was waiting for the elevator, Ji Lanzhi apologized to him and said, "I told Jiang Ruo about your grandfather's desire to see you, and I originally wanted her to persuade you, but I didn't seem to be right, Jiang Ruo still has a pimple in his heart...... In short, I hope you will forgive me. ”
Ji Lanzhi is a woman who knows how to measure herself, in the Lu family, there are only two people whom Lu Huai respects deeply, one is Lu Weiyun, the aunt of the Lu family, and the other is Ji Lanzhi.
In this matter, Ji Lanzhi's guilt was greater than her worry that Lu Huai would be angry.
Lu Huaishen said: "It's okay, don't take it to heart." [Mangjun Comics]. ”
Lu Huaishen sent Ji Lanzhi away, and when she returned home, Jiang Ruo sat on the sofa listening to songs and reading books, until after dinner, Lu Huaishen accompanied her down for a walk, she didn't talk about it, as if Ji Lanzhi hadn't mentioned anything to her.
In the next few days, Jiang Ruo was always able to pass Pei Shao and Lu Huaishen to avoid her answering the phone, and Lu Zhongnan was seriously ill and wanted to meet Lu Huaishen.
Finally, Jiang Ruo was afraid that he would be disturbed, so he said to him before going to bed that night: "You go and see him." ”
"No, I don't. Lu Huaishen didn't just say no, but really didn't want to see him.
Jiang Ruo said: "Go and listen to what he wants to say." After a while, she didn't hear Lu Huaishen answer, she added, "I want to know too." ”
Because of Jiang Ruo's words, Lu Huaishen went to the hospital the next day.
Jiang Ruo naturally wouldn't follow, she didn't want to see Lu Zhongnan, and she didn't bother to run towards the hospital, she had been in the hospital for more than a month in the past, if it was not necessary, she wanted to get closer in the short term.
Besides, she didn't think that Lu Zhongnan would want to see her either.
……
Lu Huaishen went to the hospital the next afternoon, and there was no other sound in the special needs ward except for the sound of medical equipment, and the bed in the room seemed even more lonely.
Ji Lanzhi said that it was the nurses who took care of him on weekdays. Lu Weiyun has a big family, it is impossible to accompany him all the time, Lu Xingye is good to Lu Zhongnan on weekdays, partly flattering and partly filial piety, but she is used to being wild on weekdays, and she will not guard the hospital bed every day.
In general, these two daughters and Lu Qingshi's family will take turns to come over to take a look, and as for the rest, they have come to take a look, but they always make people stare at the situation here, and it is estimated that they will really care when they divide the inheritance.
The only one who always accompanies you is a butler.
When Lu Huaishen arrived, Lu Zhongnan hadn't woken up yet, and the nurse also went out, and the housekeeper also went to do things for him.
He walked to the window and looked downstairs, the spring sun was warm, it was the warmest time in the afternoon, but it seemed that the warmth and liveliness outside had nothing to do with here, the windows of the ward were closed, and the design of the switch was also very high, so it could only open the top.
When Jiang Ruo was hospitalized, she said that the window opening was designed so high to prevent the patient from committing suicide and causing unnecessary trouble to the hospital.
I don't know where she heard the unfounded words, but he replied to her: "Not every hospital is like this. ”
"Whatever you say, I believe it anyway. "Jiang Ruo is sometimes unreasonable.
Lu Huai held on to the edge of the window, staring at the cars coming and going downstairs, and suddenly thought of such a paragraph, and his eyes couldn't help but smile.
At this time, the nurse came in with a kettle, because he knew that the patient had a thick family background and all his children and grandchildren were of extraordinary social status, and saw a man in a suit standing by the window, guessing that it was the employer's family, but he was not impressed.
She asked, "Who are you?"
Lu Huaishen turned around, "Lu Huaishen, he is my grandfather." ”
The nurse was surprised, and suddenly elongated the "oh" sound, it turned out that the old man often talked about the grandchild.
"Come to see your grandfather?" The nurse smiled on the surface, but thought in his heart, this old man has been reading for so long, and he is only here now, and he has no filial piety, anyway, in this rich man's family, the most important thing is the white-eyed wolf, and there are many plays in the TV series.
Lu Zhongnan was confused all day long, lying on the hospital bed all the time, either eating or sleeping, waking up from time to time, he didn't sleep deeply at this time, he heard the sound, and gradually woke up, but he deliberately didn't open his eyes.
Lu Huaishen asked the nurse: "When will he wake up?"
"Not necessarily, you wake up after enough sleep. ”
"You're the only one who takes care of him on weekdays?"
"I took turns with another younger nurse. ”
Lu Zhongnan listened to them, secretly opened his eyes a slit, and saw that Lu Huaishen was looking at his watch, as if he couldn't do it anymore, he wanted to leave, Lu Zhongnan was suddenly angry, and coughed hard.
Lu Huaishen looked at the hospital bed when he heard the sound, and saw that even if his face was pale, he made a fierce appearance.
Lu Huaishen met his sharp eyes and asked with a flat expression, "Awake?"
Lu Zhongnan said to the nurse, "Help me make the bed higher." "I don't speak as I used to, and my breath is vain.
The nurse acted according to his words, and he was also a perceptive person, knowing that the old man had something to say to his grandson, and when he was done, he said to them: "I'm outside, call me if there's something." ”
Once a person is sick, emaciation is the norm, and Lu Zhongnan can't escape it. Strictly speaking, he is a self-disciplined person, he did not get fat in middle age, and he is still strong and healthy because he keeps exercising when he is old, but after his skin is relaxed, he looks too thin, and after many days of illness, he is only thin. Especially during the illness, his face was sallow, and his face was sunken, which looked a little terrifying.
Lu Huaishen and him haven't seen him for a long time, the difference between the two is particularly obvious, Lu Zhongnan seems to have lost all his spirit overnight, those eyes are the only traces left on him by his glorious life in the past.
"I heard you want to see me?" Lu Huaishen stood beside the bed, looking down at him condescendingly.
This gave Lu Zhongnan an intuitive feeling of being chared.
"Sit down. He said in a deep voice.
Lu Huaishen pulled the chair next to him and sat down.
Lu Zhongnan glanced at him and mocked in a mocking tone: "Why are you here?" I thought I wouldn't be able to see you, the noble Mr. Lu, until I died. ”
Lu Huaishen smiled, steady with arrogance and straightforwardness, "Indeed, if it weren't for Lu Qingshi and my aunt's repeated persuasion, I wouldn't have come." Of course, in the end, it was Jiang Ruo who persuaded me to come. ”
In the previous paragraph, Lu Zhongnan's heartbeat was not calm, and at the end of the day, he suddenly sneered: "She?"
"Yes, she wants to hear what else comes out of your mouth. ”
This is not a good word, Lu Zhongnan will not be unable to hear it, Lu Huaishen doesn't care about this grandson at all.
Lu Zhongnan felt ridiculous, "Is she complaining about me?"
"Shouldn't it?" Lu Huai lowered his eyes to cover the chill under his eyes, and his tone was very cold.
Lu Zhongnan was determined: "It seems that you two blame me." Because he was sick, his breathing was very slow and heavy, his energy couldn't keep up, and his speaking speed also slowed down, "Her business can be related to my facial features." ”
Lu Huaishen raised his eyes suddenly, stared at him and sneered, this is a dead duck with a hard mouth, but he doesn't admit his mistake.
"Don't talk about these useless things, I'm afraid you're not looking for me to make small talk to me. Now that I have nothing to do with Bolu, if you are worried about the company, you should look for Lu Shijing. Lu Huaishen said this on purpose, he guessed that Lu Zhongnan just wanted to tell him about Bo Lu, but he couldn't get to the point, so fortunately he helped him.
Lu Zhongnan heard his intentions and asked, "You did it on purpose?" His eyes narrowed, "Bo Lu will be today, isn't it all because of you?"
"Wrong!" Lu Huai cut him off, "It's because of you." ”
Lu Zhongnan is a master who does not admit mistakes and does not admit defeat, Lu Huaishen doesn't mind telling him the reason, "It's because you are full of confidence, thinking that before you die, you can control Bo Lu to the death." Remember what you said to me, saying that if something happens, don't blame you for standing by. But Bolu is no longer your Bolu, and the Lu family is no longer the Lu family you think is the only one who has the final say. ”
Lu Huaishen leaned over and told him word by word: "You are the one who helped Lu Shijing, and you are the one who coldly watched Lu Shijing make a move against Jiang Ruo." Indeed, you did what you said, so all of this is because of you. ”
He leaned back in his chair and threw out a fluttering closing remark: "I'm just fighting back." ”
"Okay, you have a legitimate counterattack!" Lu Zhongnan was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly, and asked sonorously: "Is your so-called legitimate counterattack to bring down Bo Lu? This is the hard work of the Lu family, the entire Lu family, and several generations!"
"I also told you early in the morning, I came back just for Bo Lu, I can't get it, Lu Shijing and Chang Wan don't want to think about it. Lu Huaishen had long disdained to hide his purpose in front of Lu Zhongnan, his eyes pointed at Lu Zhongnan, and told the facts, "Besides, in the past ten years, I have spent all my efforts on Bolu, and there is no one in the Lu family who can compare to it." ”
"You all know, you, you, you know, why do you still do this?" Lu Zhongnan was heartbroken, and his voice was so hard that his own head was buzzing.
"Because this is my hard work, it is even more impossible for me to let it be picked up cheaply by others, or use disdainful means to hurt the cheap that Jiang Ruo picked up from me. ”
Lu Zhongnan's tone was indescribably mocking, "To put it bluntly, it's just because of a woman...... Just because of one Jiang Ruo, you put Bolu in danger!"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Huaishen no longer looked disapproving, he asked seriously and angrily: "Just a woman?"
Lu Zhongnan didn't answer, staring at him, obviously thinking so.
Lu Huai laughed angrily: "It's the same as my mother, they're just 'just a woman', do you treat them as human beings? The Xue family lost power, and you asked my father to divorce her, so you can also be silent when you learn that Lu Shijing plans to kidnap Jiang Ruo." ”
What Lu Huaishen can't bear the most is that the only woman he values in this life is just "a woman" in Lu Zhongnan's eyes.
Lu Huai's face sank like water, "For you, Xue Jiayue is just a woman, but she is my mother." In your opinion, Jiang Ruo is just a woman, but to me, she is a family, a wife, and a lover. Do you know that in the few nights when Jiang Ruo disappeared, in addition to her, I often thought of my mother. She also grew up in the palm of her hand, and married a negative man before she was deeply involved in the world, and the biggest blow in her life was nothing more than the middle of her family, and she was forced to leave the only shelter at that time.
"I have witnessed all her suffering, watching how she tried her best to survive in a strange city where she didn't understand the language, and the Lu family who had tried her best to marry her into the door, ah? When I think of her washing her face with tears all day long, and repeatedly wiping away her tears and desperately not wanting to fall, I will think of Jiang Ruo. Think of how she suffered in an unknown corner because of your old tricks. ”
He wondered all the time, would she be afraid, could she wait for him, and could she bear the torment?
What's worse is whether she will be like his mother, who will not be able to escape the tragedy of the moment and will not survive the day when she will see the light of day again.
Lu Huaishen stared at his silent face, looking unrepentant, he felt that what he was saying was playing the piano to the cow.
He said indifferently: "You are different, for you, the woman is gone, find the next one." You probably still think that you are not wrong at all, you have trapped my mother and Jiang Ruo in injustice, but you are still arrogant and teach a lesson, where do you have the qualifications? You still have a shy face to ask me to save your hard work, you are not all the way, and now you no longer even have the same interests, what obligation and need do I have to help you again?"
Lu Zhongnan was enraged by him, gritted his teeth fiercely, and said: "You are just lucky! I found Jiang Ruo early, if Jiang Ruo hadn't found it, do you think you would still be able to talk to me like this now? You have nothing for a long time!"
"What if you have nothing? If you have nothing, there will always be a day when you will start again. Emphasizing profit over affection, in the end, it will only end up in such a situation as you. In the past half of his life, he had a clear purpose, except for Bolu, he had nothing to worry about in his life. Now, he hopes that he can have a happy wife and children in the second half of his life, and live a warmer life.
After Lu Huaishen finished speaking, he looked at him with pity, and asked word by word: "Don't you feel desolate, grandpa?"
Lu Zhongnan never expected that Lu Huaishen would call him a grandfather in a serious manner, but it would be in such an environment and context.
His internal organs were trembling, and his eyes were burning, "Okay, good, good to make a comeback, you will have to start all over again, how many young people will it take to reach the height of Bolu today?"
Lu Huaishen straightened his clothes and got up, "Bo Lu has not had me in the past ten years, how can he have his current height? If I really don't have the ability to make a comeback and become bigger and stronger, how can you be like this, waiting to see me and ask me to save Bo Lu from fire and water?"
In this regard, Lu Zhongnan knows Lu Huaishen best, he has never been blindly confident without ability, he does have that ability, otherwise how would he reuse him?
Lu Zhongnan's lips were pale, he looked at him for a long time, his scarlet eyes trembled, and he threw out the next words loudly: "Then I ask you! My shares will be yours in the future. ”
Lu Huaishen's jaw tightened, and he turned his back to him.
After a long time, only Lu Zhongnan's heavy breathing remained in the ward, which was more difficult than ever.
The butler, who had been listening quietly at the door for a long time, pushed the door in, "Sir, you also know your grandfather's character, he does make mistakes when he is old, he is stubborn and refuses to admit defeat, but where there is a problem, he himself knows." The words have already been said about this ......"
Lu Huaishen didn't wait for him to finish speaking, turned around and asked Lu Zhongnan: "Don't you get tired of playing this trick every time? If you want to play the family card, it depends on whether you have the confidence." Do you think that you can cultivate your relationship by letting your children and grandchildren come back for a meal every week? You yourself have already made a negative teaching material, look at your sons, which one is not up and down?"
Lu Zhongnan was angry and said angrily: "When is it your turn to teach me a lesson?"
"I'm not just teaching you a lesson and reminding yourself to take responsibility for what you do. Bo Lu will let your Lu Shijing to save him, after all, you have high hopes for him, if he doesn't care about you, but as long as I am still in the day, you can hold on, and I will also treat you for this disease. As for what grandparents and grandchildren love, then forget it. ”
Lu Huaishen thought that he was benevolent and righteous, and he had nothing to say, so he turned around and left.
When he arrived in the corridor of the hospital, the housekeeper chased him out, and there was a lot of momentum to ask for each other, Lu Huaishen stopped him before he could speak: "I know what you want to say, I can't do anything, Jiang Ruo is not far from life, in addition, there are still a lot of things waiting for the end of the previous matter and the preparation of the new company, I really don't have time to take care of Bolu." ”
The steward's protector earnestly: "Sir, is it really necessary to do this?"
Lu Huaishen was not moved at all, "The old man is a few years old, and there are only a few days left, and whether Bo Lu is good or bad has little impact on him." You tell him, I can provide for him in his old age, let him live out his old age in peace, what Bolu, don't think about it. ”
"You also said that he is so old, he has devoted his whole life to Bolu, and in his later years, the career that he has built up all his life collapses, how can you let him live in his heart?"
"I can't help anyway. The old man thought that the biggest certainty was that his former subordinates, all the elders of Bolu were still used by him, and he trusted these people too much, so when these people talked to him and encouraged him to support Chang Wan and Lu Shijing, he rarely thought why. The old man thought that Chang Wan was a stupid big sister with a lot of money, and the woman's ambition was fed by him more and more, so she got to where she is today. ”
This was said in such a vague manner that even the housekeeper reacted for a while, and finally his face turned pale and pale.
Lu Huaishen didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
Lu Huaishen walked through the long corridor alone, the whole hospital was cold and white, he stood in front of the elevator, looking at his face in the mirror that looked like Xue Jiayue and could see Lu Youwen's shadow, he couldn't help but think of the past.
People in the world always think that the grievances of parents have nothing to do with the younger generations to avoid affecting the juniors, but the reality is that the grievances of the parents' generation will always have an unavoidable impact on the back.
When he was the hardest and most difficult in HK, Lu Huaishen also thought that one day, he would wait for Lu Youwen to come to him and personally pay the price for the mistakes he made.
But he didn't expect that when Lu Youwen found him, he had already tasted the taste of self-reperment.
Lu Youwen gave up Lu Shijing and wanted to support him, mainly for an extremely ridiculous reason - Chang Wan cheated.
Chang Wan is very close to a number of veteran directors at the same time.
In many high-level meetings of Bolu, Lu Youwen heard the voices of support for Chang Wan and Lu Shijing, plus Chang Wan has been returning from night to night for a long time, and he is busier than him.
Lu Youwen, who was suspicious, secretly checked Chang Wan's credit card transaction records, and somehow remembered a director, and invited a private detective to follow up and investigate, and found that not only did the two people's deeds overlap, but after a period of time, it was found that many directors had an ill relationship with Chang Wan.
Lu Youwen was shocked, pretending not to know, and even pretending to be optimistic about Lu Shijing, entrusting him with a heavy task, and on the other hand, he secretly found Lu Huaishen and sent him to the United States.
When Chang Wan found out, he prevaricated on the grounds that Lu Huaishen was his own son after all, and his mother was no longer good, and if he didn't return to the Lu family, he would be helpless in the future.
Chang Wan was angry, but he was powerless to refute.
Gradually, Lu Huaishen flourished in the North American branch, and Lu Youwen had a reason to transfer him back to the headquarters, Chang Wan didn't know where to complain, and worked harder to let the directors support her son well, which was bound to prevent Lu Huaishen from taking on a big role in the future.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shijing suffered a major car accident and his leg was lame.
The car accident looked no different from an accidental accident, Chang Wan was not angry, and splashed dirty water on Lu Huaishen openly and secretly.
But if she is allowed to guess by herself, I am afraid that she will not be able to guess who is behind this until she dies.
