In the inner courtyard of the Tang family, in the hall, there was a thin old man in his seventies, who was as straight as a pine and wearing a black tunic suit.

As soon as Lu Zheng stepped into the hall, his eyes fell on this old man, he knew that this old man was his grandfather Tang Ruhui, for this grandfather, Lu Zheng's emotions were a little complicated, it was not the first time he had come to Yanjing, with the power of the Tang family, it was not difficult to know his whereabouts, why didn't he call him before, until today I invited him over, it was difficult not to let him have some other thoughts, of course, he very much hoped that he just thought too much about himself, and lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Lu Zheng has seen his grandfather. ”

After taking a few steps forward and coming to the center of the hall, Lu Zheng bowed and saluted the old man on the chair.

Old Man Tang showed a smile of relief on his face, and beckoned to Lu Zheng: "Ah Zheng, come to Grandpa's side, let me take a good look at you." ”

"It's Grandpa. ”

Lu Zheng nodded and stepped in front of Old Man Tang.

The old man looked Lu Zheng up and down, and said happily: "Good boy, it's just a mold printed with Xiuning, is your mother okay now?"

Lu Zheng replied: "Mom is fine, but there is still something to deal with over there, and when it is stable, I will come back to see you." ”

Hearing this, Old Man Tang showed a look of reminiscence on his face, and after a while, he said with emotion: "That kid is also stubborn, he has been gone for more than ten years, but it can be said that there is no news, but fortunately, he is finally coming back, and he has been waiting for more than ten years, so it doesn't hurt to wait." ”

Speaking of this, his eyes fell on Lu Zheng again, very soft and kind: "Child, this is also your home, and you must come to live for a long time in the future." ”

"Thank you grandpa, I will. Lu Zheng nodded, and a warm current lay in his heart.

"Everyone is here, let's start dinner now!" Old Man Tang announced.

The Tang family had a large population, and they sat at four tables during the meal, and at the request of the old man, Lu Zheng shared the table with him, which made him feel several obscure and uninexplicable jealous eyes.

After the meal, the important members of the Tang family gathered together.

Old Man Tang made a brief lecture, and then he was silent, and the second uncle Tang Xiaowen said to Lu Zheng with a smile: "Ah Zheng, the second uncle heard that you have received trillions of assets from the Morgan family over there, right?"

"Yes, second uncle. Lu Zheng said truthfully.

Almost everyone present knew about this, and when they heard Lu Zheng admit it in person, they were still shocked and inexplicable, and at the same time, Lu Zheng once again felt the dark jealous gaze during the meal.

"Now your mother is taking care of those businesses, right?" the second uncle continued.

"Yes, I don't know how to manage either, so I can only work my mother. Lu Zheng nodded, but there was a faint guess in his heart, this time the recognition of relatives is probably not a simple recognition.

Sure enough, I only heard the second uncle continue: "Such a big industry must not be managed by your mother alone, and it is too tired, you think it is better to let Tang Yun, Tang Jin, Tang Yue, and Tang Yang each lead a management team to help your mother?"

Tang Yun is the second son of the eldest uncle Tang Xiaotian, Tang Jin is the second son and youngest daughter of the second uncle and Tang Yue, and Tang Yang is the fourth son of the third uncle.

Hearing this, how could Lu Zheng not understand the second uncle's intentions, they wanted to take power when his property was in chaos, and when they really mastered that part of the property, it would be uncertain whether they would be surnamed Lu or Tang.

For a while, his heart suddenly cooled, yesterday his uncle Tang Xiaotian sent Lu Fei to Lu's house to meet him, I am afraid he also had a scheming.

Looking at the silent Lu Zheng, the third uncle Tang Xiaowu opened his mouth and said: "Ah Zheng, we are all a family, we know that your industry lacks management talents and teams, don't worry, your cousins and cousins are not mediocre, they are quite talented in business and management, with them to help your fourth sister, she doesn't have to be so tired, and when it is straightened out over there, it is better to return to China as soon as possible to reunite with everyone, right?"

Lu Zheng was still silent.

Seeing this, the faces of the three uncles were not very good-looking, and the old man Tang, who was sitting in the first place, spoke again: "Ah Zheng, what do you think of your second uncle's proposal?"

Lu Zheng took a deep breath, then stood up, and said in a firm tone: "I don't agree!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the hall changed greatly, and even Old Man Tang's face was slightly gloomy.

Old Man Tang's voice continued to sound: "Ah Zheng, aren't you thinking about it, I believe that the four of them will definitely be able to become Xiuning's right-hand men." ”

"Yes, Ah Zheng, everyone is a family, why do you want to see the outside world like this?" the second uncle said, his tone was full of squeeze and dissatisfaction.

"Ah Zheng, we are all for your good, why do you refuse to be thousands of miles away?" the third uncle said next.

Hearing this, Lu Zheng's gaze slowly swept over the people in the hall, and said sarcastically: "It's not that I refuse people thousands of miles away, but that your food is too ugly, which makes me feel uncomfortable, my mother is indeed short of manpower, but Li Lao has promised to help me prepare a batch of talents to be sent to listen to my mother's dispatch, so don't mention this matter again." ”

Hearing Lu Zheng ruthlessly expose their true faces, everyone felt a burst of heat on their cheeks, and of course, more annoyance.

Suddenly, the third uncle's youngest son, Tang Yang, said angrily: "Lu Zheng, what do you mean? We are kind enough to help you, but when it comes to your mouth, it becomes an ulterior attempt, you are too ignorant of lifting!"

"Yes, with the heart of a villain, the belly of a gentleman. Tang Yue also said angrily.

"Ah Zheng, you really misunderstood us, we are really not what you think?" said the second uncle Tang Xiaowen reluctantly squeezed out a soft expression.

The third uncle immediately said: "Ah Zheng, we are a family, would you rather believe in outsiders than believe us? ”

Watching the performance of the Tang family, Lu Zheng was very disappointed in his heart, he was never a stingy person, he regarded the Tang family as relatives, but this group of relatives was calculating him, how to seize his property.

If they don't do this, can he lose them? It's no wonder that my mother has never been in contact with the people of the Tang family for more than ten years, this group of people has been blinded by interests, and they only see interests in their eyes.

As for family affection, in their eyes it is just a tool for profit.

"Ah Zheng, do you want to make a statement, what are you going to do?" Old Man Tang asked again.

Lu Zheng looked at Old Man Tang with great disappointment, at this moment, he still refused to give up, the hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth gradually spread, and he said word by word: "I still don't agree, okay guys, it's too late, I'm leaving!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Zheng walked out without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Old Man Tang's face instantly turned pale, and it wasn't until Lu Zheng's back disappeared that he couldn't help but let out a suppressed roar: "Little beast, white-eyed wolf, it's just the same virtue as that evil beast!"

"Dad, that's it?" Tang Xiaowen asked unwillingly.

"That's a trillion-dollar industry, even if we can only get one-tenth of it, it's enough for our Tang family to soar!" Tang Xiaowu said with a greedy expression.

However, Tang Xiaotian never spoke, but he let out a long sigh in his heart, but at this moment, his eyes were filled with an indescribable loneliness and helplessness.

Walking out of Tang's house, the depression in Lu Zheng's heart still couldn't be dispersed, and with a thought, he took out his mobile phone and dialed his mother's number.

Soon, the phone was connected, and the slightly tired voice of the old mother came from inside: "Son, why do you miss your mother when you go back?"

"Yes, Mom, you're so good, can I not want to?" Lu Zheng patted his ass.

"Stinky boy. Tang Xiuning scolded with a smile, and suddenly the words changed: "Son, are you in trouble?"

"I just came out of my grandfather's house. Lu Zheng said in a deep voice.

The other end of the phone suddenly became silent, and after a while, she said, "Did they say anything to you?"

"They were going to send someone to help you, but I refused. ”

Tang Xiuning snorted coldly: "Hmph, I didn't expect that after so many years, they are still that virtuous, son, you refused well, the Tang family only has interests in their eyes, if you don't like it, don't associate with them in the future." ”

After talking to his mother on the phone, Lu Zheng felt much better, he didn't take a taxi, he didn't show his skills, he walked like an ordinary person.

Suddenly, a man and a woman walked in front of him.

The two looked similar in age, probably around twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and Lu Zheng noticed them because both of them were god-level ancient martial artists.

They stopped three meters away from Lu Zheng, and the man spoke: "Hello Lu Zheng, Chen Yin in the Xialong Elephant Sect, this is my junior sister Yan Qiu. ”

As soon as the two appeared, Lu Zheng guessed that they should be people from a certain sect of the Four Hidden World Sects, so he was not too surprised, so he asked politely: "It turned out to be the master of the Dragon Elephant Sect, I don't know what advice the two of them have?"

"This is not the place to speak, I wonder if Your Excellency is willing to move?" Chen Yin said in a deep voice.

"Okay!" Lu Zheng nodded.

In a quiet and elegant teahouse, Lu Zheng looked at Chen Yin and the others with a smile and asked, "The two of you can explain your intentions now, right?"

"We, the two senior brothers and sisters, are here to invite you to join our Dragon Elephant Sect. Chen Yin said in a rather sincere tone.

Lu Zheng shook his head: "I'm sorry two, I have no plans to join any sect for the time being. ”

Hearing Lu Zheng's refusal, Chen Yin was a little disappointed and continued: "As long as you are willing to join, how about we give you the position of a powerful elder?"

"I'm sorry you two, I really didn't have that plan. Lu Zheng still refused.

"Okay, since you don't want to join, we won't force it, this is our Dragon Elephant Sect's guest token, you might as well accept it!" Chen Yin flipped his palm, a black iron order appeared, and handed it to Lu Zhengdao.

"Good!"

This time, Lu Zheng did not refuse, and directly put away the token.

Waiting for Lu Zheng to leave, Yan Qiu said with dissatisfaction: "This Lu Zheng is too ignorant of promotion, we came to invite him in person, but he actually refused!"

"No, junior sister, you are wrong. Chen Yin shook his head: "This person is a person with great ambitions, think about it, he is only seventeen years old, his cultivation is already so profound, how can he be willing to live under others, therefore, it doesn't matter if he doesn't join us, but we must have a good relationship with him." ”

On the way back, Lu Zheng suddenly thought of Qin Liqing, his heart moved, and he took out his mobile phone to dial her number.

The phone was quickly connected, and Qin Liqing's voice full of surprise came from inside.

Ending the call, Lu Zheng took a taxi and went straight to Dynasty KTV, today happened to be the birthday of one of Qin Liqing's classmates, and they were celebrating that classmate in KTV.
