BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1696 - 1696 Casual
Now that Lu Heting’s gaze was no longer on him, Third Brother Huo naturally dared to say it.
He said, “Old Master, Mr. Weijian has been managing the Huo family recently. He’s quite capable. I just want to represent the Huo family to know if he’ll continue to be in this position. It’ll be good if that’s the case. If the Huo family has the support of the Lu family, we won’t have to worry about anything in the future!”
Old Master Lu was so angry that his beard curled up. The butler quickly served him a cup of warm tea.
!!
How could he not be angry?!
When Lu Yaolan broke off ties with the Huo family, she disappeared without a trace. Moreover, she was suffering from depression. It was said that she went overseas to relax and had been gone for many years.
The Lu family and the Huo family had already drawn a clear line between them!
Even Lu Weijian didn’t take their surname!
Now, Lu Weijian was managing the Huo family’s business!
“How long has this been going on?” Old Master Lu suppressed his anger and asked.
“About half a year ago,” Third Brother Huo said.
In the past half a year, the Huo family had been having a hard time.
When Old Master Huo was still around, he was physically weak. Those who were greedy could more or less reap benefits from the family business. All of them lead good lives.
Later on, Old Master Huo handed the family business to Lu Weijian and Huo Zhong. The two of them looked sloppy, so the rest of the family didn’t take them seriously at first. They only thought that it would be easier to reap benefits in the future.
Who knew that the two of them were each more ruthless than the other? One played the good cop while the other played the bad cop. They actually cut off all their paths of retreat.
Most of the people in the branch families complained endlessly.
That was why everyone came up with such a drastic solution.
They all knew that Old Master Lu didn’t want Lu Weijian to return to the Huo family.
In that case, Lu Weijian must be managing the Huo family’s business behind Old Master Lu’s back.
As long as someone dared to make things clear to Old Master Lu, Old Master Lu would probably detain Lu Weijian immediately!
As long as Lu Weijian was gone, it would be difficult for Huo Zhong to take care of everything alone.
At that time, everyone would sow discord between Huo Zhong and Lu Weijian.
At that time, everyone would be able to do whatever they wanted!
Hence, Third Brother Huo was the one who took the lead!
Seeing that Old Master Lu was indeed so angry that he could not breathe properly, Third Brother Huo knew that he had made the right choice!
Old Master Lu held his chest and said, “Go, bring Lu Weijian back! Right now!”
“Old Master, don’t be angry. No matter what, Mr. Weijian has the Huo family’s bloodline. It’s only right for him to manage the Huo family…” Third Brother Huo added fuel to the fire.
He knew that Old Master Lu wanted nothing more than to rid Lu Weijian of the Huo family’s blood.
Old Master Lu was even angrier now.
Lu Heting stood up and slowly walked over.
Feeling the pressure of his approach, Third Brother Huo’s smugness turned into a shudder.
Lu Heting handed the tea to Old Master Lu and said calmly, “Grandpa, drink some tea first.”
His grandson’s words were magical, and Old Master Lu quickly calmed down.
Lu Heting asked Third Brother Huo, “Did you come here specifically to tell my grandfather about this?”
“Yes, yes. I’m concerned about the future of the Huo family. If Mr. Weijian can lead us, I’ll be more confident in the future.”
