Scumbag Chapter 209 The Real Young Master Doesn’t Care For The Crematorium Trope (31)

Standing in the familiar house, Grandpa Lu's eyes were filled with sorrow.

He never imagined that after dying from a heart attack, he would be reborn back to this moment.

But this time, although his grandson had been kidnapped by traffickers, his tongue was intact. He also hadn’t made the mistake of arranging Mingting’s engagement to the Miao Family’s daughter.

However, Lu Minghua had still gotten involved with Miao Rui!

Remembering how, after his grandson’s death, he had suspected foul play with the car, only for Lu Song and his wife to sell it before he could investigate, Grandpa Lu clenched his fists.

He had tried to uncover the truth, but his actions had alerted the culprits. Someone had switched his medication, and he had died in his office.

He already had a suspect in mind for who had tampered with his medicine.

After his grandson’s death, Lu Minghua had been hospitalized for a kidney transplant, and Miao Rui had been sent back to the Miao Family. That left only his wife, Lu Song, and He Qiaoqiao in the house.

‘The only ones who could have switched his medication were them.’

Thinking of this, Grandpa Lu was chilled to the bone.

What pained him more was that he had been reborn too late, as he had already pushed his real grandson away.

‘Mingting must have been so disillusioned with this family, with me, that he chose to become a monk.’

Grandpa Lu had always prided himself on being fair, but now he had to admit, he had been biased too. Biased toward his wife, biased toward his own son...

After bathing and changing into fresh clothes, Grandpa Lu contacted the Bie Family, who had acquired the restaurant’s shares, and arranged a meeting with the Bie Family’s head.

When the Bie Family arrived, Grandpa Lu cut straight to the point. He said that he had 35% of the shares and asked the Bie Family if they wanted to buy them.

Originally, the Bie Family thought that Grandpa Lu had come to demand for answers and had prepared counterarguments, but they never expected that he would offer to sell his shares.

"What's wrong with you?" Mr. Bie was very surprised.

"I’ve already died once, and I don’t want to work myself to the bone anymore." Grandpa Lu smiled bitterly, "You know my son is hopeless, and my grandson has turned his back on me. I’m almost 80. I just don’t have the energy anymore."

"I’m selling to you because I know your family has been in the culinary business for generations, and has always taken it seriously. The restaurant is like my child, so handing it over to you means it’ll be in good hands. That’s all I care about now!"

Although Mr. Bie was skeptical of Grandpa Lu’s motives, the old man had even brought a lawyer, and the asking price was reasonable.

With such an opportunity handed to them and Bie Family eager to expand, Mr. Bie held a video conference with his family before signing the agreement with Grandpa Lu.

Grandpa Lu didn't tell anyone about this.

Later, he hired professionals to establish a charity foundation called ‘Angel’, and invested the money in it. This charity specialized in helping parents whose children were kidnapped to find their lost children.

By the time Lu Song heard the news, it was already a done deal. Everything had been settled.

“What is Dad trying to do? Has he lost his mind?!" Lu Song’s eyes were bloodshot, and he was on the verge of a breakdown.

The restaurant had been Grandpa Lu’s life’s work, so how could he just sell it off like that?!

Especially when he heard that the old man had also donated several of his real estate properties to the state for free, Lu Song nearly had a heart attack.

‘Money! So much money, just given away like that?’

Lu Song’s heart was bleeding.

He felt that what Grandpa Lu had donated wasn’t just the restaurant or the houses… it was the inheritance that should have rightfully been his.

Just as devastated as Lu Song were the old lady and He Qiaoqiao.

‘Old Lu was actually this ruthless? He didn’t even want the restaurant anymore?’

At first, the old lady couldn't believe it at all.

She knew exactly how much Old Man Lu cared about the restaurant and the Lu Family’s culinary legacy. It could be said that these were the things he valued most in his.

‘Now, for him to do this… had he been possessed? What was he trying to do!’

“Let’s go find him! I need to ask him myself if he’s been brainwashed by something!"

The old lady cried as she urged Lu Song to quickly drive back to the old house, saying that if they were too late, the old man might go crazy and donate the ancestral home too.

He Qiaoqiao sat in the car, comforting the old lady while secretly doing the math in her head.

Aside from her shares, the old lady owned two properties in the city, a summer villa in another province, a seaside house, and a farm.

Lu Song had three properties in the city and two in Beijing. His hobby was buying cars, so he didn’t have much in terms of fixed assets.

As for her, she only had some bags, jewelry, and one property.

What did all that even amount to?!

With the old man selling his shares and donating his houses, Lu Song would have almost nothing to inherit. Wouldn’t their family have to live in poverty from now on?

Lu Song drove frantically, with only one thought in his mind, to go back and stop the old man from squandering everything.

Because he was distracted by these thoughts, he didn’t brake at a red light. As he sped through the intersection, an oncoming car couldn’t avoid him in time and collided head-on with Lu Song’s car.

Bang…

Lu Song’s head hit the steering wheel, and his vision soon turned red. The old lady and He Qiaoqiao in the backseat weren’t spared either.

They had gotten into the car in a hurry and hadn’t fastened their seatbelts, so both of them hit their heads and passed out from the impact.

Grandpa Lu had just finalized his will, stating that all his assets would be donated to the state after his death.

After the lawyer recorded the proceedings and the notary office certified it, the old man received an emergency call from the hospital. He learned that Lu Song had been in a car accident, and all three family members had been admitted.

The three of them happened to be placed in the same ward. And by the time Grandpa Lu arrived, they were still unconscious.

The doctor told Grandpa Lu that their injuries weren’t too severe. Lu Song had a gash on his head, while the old lady and He Qiaoqiao only had minor wounds. They would need to stay for observation for a few days after waking up.

“Thank you, Doctor!"

Grandpa Lu sat down and looked at Lu Song and the others lying on the bed. His mood was indescribably complicated.

In the afternoon, the old lady was the first to wake up.

She opened her eyes and her eyes were blank.

When she saw Grandpa Lu, she burst into tears, "Old Lu… am I dreaming? How are you still alive? I must be dreaming..."

Hearing the strangeness in her words, Grandpa Lu closed the door of the ward and walked to the old lady's bedside.
