Chapter 211 The Real Young Master Doesn’t Care For The Crematorium Trope (33)

[Boss, is Miao Rui really that bold?] Fengtian asked, [Right now, she just seems like a spoiled little princess. How could her heart be so cruel?]

"The person who came up with the idea could’ve been Lu Minghua, or maybe Miao Wei. Who knows?" Mingting smiled.

Now, with everyone reborn, he wondered if the Lu Family would turn their fangs on the Miao Family.

If so… this drama was far from over!

When Grandpa Lu woke again, all the vigor had drained from him.

After working hard all his life, he’s only paving the way for someone else’s gain.

"Dad, we were wrong! Please forgive us!" Lu Song and He Qiaoqiao both knelt on the floor, crying like children. They regretted everything.

"I’ll go find Mingting right now! Don’t be angry, Dad! He’s my only son, and that ingrate isn’t my child!"

Lu Song scrambled to his feet, ready to rush out.

"Leave Mingting alone!" Grandpa Lu's eyes were dim, "You disowned him, slandered him, and now you think he’ll just take you back? Are you even worthy? Have you no shame!"

"None of you are to seek out Mingting! None of you are to disturb him!"

The old man couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Had my grandson also been reborn? Was that why he’d treated the Lu Family with such coldness?’

‘However, we had brought this upon ourselves! How could we expect forgiveness after all we’d done?!’

"Miao Family, Lu Minghua…" The old man's voice was a little gloomy.

Even though Grandpa Lu hated Lu Minghua and Miao Rui to the core, he had never done anything that was against the law.

The old man had been law-abiding his entire life. When it came to the restaurant business, he was diligent and meticulous, always terrified of causing any food safety issues.

Slaughtering chickens and gutting fish were his specialties, but now that he wanted to take revenge and kill his enemies, he really didn’t know how to go about it.

Looking at his cowardly, foolish son and daughter-in-law, Grandpa Lu suddenly felt that even though he had been reborn, there wasn’t much he could do for Mingting.

If he were young, strong, and healthy, he could have done many things.

But he was so old now, so what could he do?

Was he just supposed to let them off the hook?

Grandpa Lu refused to accept that.

Having been in the food industry for so many years, he had befriended a few influential people and built up some connections.

The old man started making calls one by one.

‘Miao Rui had disregarded the law and committed such heartless acts precisely because she had the Miao Family backing her up, acting as her shield, right?’

‘Well, then I would use all my lifelong connections and spare no effort to destroy the Miao Family!!!’

The old lady, Lu Song, and He Qiaoqiao sat obediently to the side, watching as Grandpa Lu spent the entire afternoon making phone calls.

Whether it was appealing to emotions or offering benefits, Grandpa Lu eventually secured promises from a few old friends.

Aside from the money placed in the charitable foundation, the remaining funds were transferred to these friends.

Friends helping him was a matter of sentiment, but he couldn’t just take it for granted. These people also had to pull strings, mobilize their networks, and grease palms, and it all required resources.

Without batting an eye, the old man gave away 80 million. Then, the old man glanced at He Qiaoqiao and said, "I'm giving away my own money. Why are you upset? Who are you making that face for?"

"Dad, I’m not." He Qiaoqiao quickly shook her head.

"Hmph, even if you have objections, keep them to yourself."

Grandpa Lu finally understood why the old saying went, ‘When taking a wife, virtue matters most’.

Unfortunately, his son had always been fond of beauty and hadn’t listened to his advice when it came to marriage.

Soon, Grandpa Lu thought of Mingting again.

Lu Mingting was raised by the Xiang Family’s elderly couple, and they had doted on him as if he were their own grandson and never neglected his moral education.  That was why the child, though quiet and reserved, had grown up with excellent character.

This was the power of environment… when adults led by example, the chances of a child going astray were slim!

If Lu Mingting had grown up in the Lu Family from the start, who knows how the old lady and He Qiaoqiao might have warped him...

‘Xiao Ting…’

The thought of his grandson dying so young, murdered before even turning 26, made Grandpa Lu’s heart ache unbearably.

In his past life, his health had originally been quite good.

But after his grandson returned, seeing that Mingting’s tongue had been cut short, Grandpa Lu had thought about how the Lu family’s culinary legacy had no heir. He felt even more pressure to live longer, to wait for Mingting’s child to grow up so he could properly nurture the next generation. The stress gradually took a toll, and his heart grew weaker.

In this life, he wasn’t going to dwell on all that anymore.

What inheritance and money? In his past life, he had valued these things, but what had he gained in the end?

Especially when he looked at his son, hanging his head like a defeated dog, and thought about all the rotten things he’d done… shielding his son’s murderer, harming his own father, sending his own mother to a nursing home.

Which of those was the act of a decent human being?!

Why had he worked so hard all those years? Wasn’t it to give his wife and children a good life?

But as their financial situation improved, he had neglected his son’s upbringing, and the boy turned out both useless and wicked. What was the point of such a life?

Starting over again, Grandpa Lu had completely let go.

"You don’t need to stay here."

Grandpa Lu took a deep breath, "Lu Song, you’re already in your mid-forties. From now on, take good care of your mother. Don't even think about what little I have left… none of it will go to you."

"Old Lu, are you abandoning me?"

The old lady looked at Grandpa Lu blankly.

She had suffered so much, died so miserably, and now that she’d been reborn, her husband didn’t want her anymore??

"We’re divorced. Our son and daughter-in-law will take care of you."

Grandpa Lu was truly done carrying everything on his shoulders, constantly worrying and laboring to clean up their messes.
