Chapter 50 - Met You

Now isn't the time, Lu Shi, you have to be patient, be patient...

"What do you want to say?"

Lu Shi's voice was monotonous, without any trace of fluctuation.

Fang Weiyun frowned as she stared at him. "Lu Shi, what's with your tone? You don't even know etiquette!"

Her eyebrows were thinly traced with a sharp end, like the poisonous tail of a scorpion. "You live outside and don't go home, do you not want the position of heir anymore? A mere lowly seedling is holding tall in front of me? Why, want me to beg you?"

Lu Shi was accustomed to hearing these words. It was Fang Weiyun's consistent method- to chastise him condescendingly, insult him, establish her power, control him, and lower him into the dust.

Lu Shi's speech was light and unhurried. "Lowly seedling? Ah, what a pity. Lu Shaochu doesn't have a second child. Even if I don't go home for five or ten years, the position of heir is still mine. Say, in his heart, is it you, the wife, or is it me, the heir, who's more important?"

Fang Weiyun's expression changed.

Lu Shi's voice was as cold as water. "You're saying these to me today because Lu Shaochu was blaming you. Why did the only heir of the Lu family rebel and didn't go home? Because he learned that the mother whom he'd been calling Mom for more than ten years wasn't his biological mother. It was hard to accept and he suffered a shock. It's me that is pitiful, and you who's at fault."

"Furthermore, he didn't dare to let others know about the fact that I ran away from home. As for the reason I left, it's a secret that must be kept. In his heart, the Lu clan's face is more important than anything else."

Lu Shi's voice became lighter. "If I loathe you and are incompatible with you, guess which side he'll stand by in the end? Who will be thrown away?"

Fang Weiyun squeezed her handbag so tightly her fingertips turned white.

She now understood what Lu Shi was planning.

She was unable to bear children, and most importantly, Lu Shaochu wasn't willing to have children with her at all. In Lu Shaochu's eyes, Lu Shi was the only heir.

In the past, she had firmly controlled Lu Shi on the palm of her hands.

But ever since Lu Shi discovered that his birth mother was someone else, everything had changed.

"Do you really think that I'm still that pure and unsuspecting young master of the past? That in order to get a compliment from you, I would learn how to horse race even if my thighs wear out till they're limp. That even if I nearly drowned in the water, I would forcibly overcome my fear and learn to swim as quickly as possible."

Lu Shi's eyes were dark, no light could penetrate their depths. His voice squeezed out of his throat, containing repressed emotions akin to an endless night void of brightness. "That Lu Shi is already dead."

The moment he learned about the truth of that year, he was already dead.

When Lu Shi went downstairs, the red mark on the back of his hand had already faded. He stood beside Lu Shaochu and was once again the handsome and excellent heir.

Lu Shaochu asked, "What took you so long upstairs?"

"Talked to Mrs. Lu."

Hearing that he didn't call her mother, Lu Shaochu wanted to say something about it, but then decided not to and switched to a smile. "If you really can't accept the fact that you're not related to her, then forget it. That year, your mother gave birth to you shortly after our marriage, but accidents are always unavoidable and she died due to dystocia. I carried you back in my arms. I didn't want my son to be criticized, so I declared to the public that you were Weiyun's son. Later, seeing you like Weiyun and depend on her so much, I never had the heart to tell you the truth."
