Old Master Lu was sitting in the middle of the study’s sofa. Mother Lu and Ye Zhen were sitting next to him and Lu Shaoyan and Lin Zhan were sitting on the other sofa. The study and the rest of the villa maintained the quietest of silence.
“Grandpa, I’m here.”
Old Master Lu gripped his cane and slightly nodded. “Go on, sit down. I have something to announce to everyone.”
This announcement seemed like it was obviously something related to the Lu’s private family matters, but if Lin Zhan was present, then it might not be a family matter.
“Have all the guests left?”
“They’re gone.”

Old Master Lu nodded. “You’ve worked hard today. But, there’s still something I have to tell you.”
Lu Beichuan glanced at Lin Zhan.
“Beichuan, I should have told you that when I was young, I received help from a famous painting master. All these years, I’ve been looking for that painting master. But after searching for many years, I haven’t been able to get any news of him. So many years have passed. That painting master has probably passed away. This is a regret that’s always existed in grandpa’s heart.” Old Master Lu paused.
Looking at Lin Zhan, he said, “But I found out today that Lin Zhan is the great-grandson of that famous painting master.”
Lu Beichuan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. He doubtfully looked at Old Master Lu.
“When the Lin’s family fortunes declined, Old Master Lin’s granddaughter was left out on the streets. Who could have expected that Lin Zhan is Old Master Lin’s granddaughter’s son?!”
Ye Zhen had already known about Lin Zhan’s family background. After all, in the novel, Lin Zhan had become invincible in the business world by relying on the Lin’s former connections.
Not only did Lin Zhan’s mother’s grandfather come from a line of famous painting masters, he was also very keen on philanthropy and had sponsored many orphans in his lifetime. When the Lin’s family fortune declined, Lin Zhan’s mother, who was naive from being too sheltered and protected, decided to settle down in this coastal city after considering other options. However, she was deceived by Lu Shaoren and gave birth to Lin Zhan.
The people that had been given financial assistance by Old Master Lin all wanted to repay his kindness, but Old Master Lin died before they became successful. Later on, when those people happened to find out that Lin Zhan was Old Master Lin’s great-grandson, they spared no effort in helping him out. During that period of time, Lin Zhan’s life went very smoothly in the business world.
Old Master Lu was one of the people that had once received help from Old Master Lin.
Old Master Lu sighed and angrily scolded, “It’s my fault for having a son like Lu Shaoren! That’s what caused your mom……”
After speaking to this point, Old Master Lu heavily hit the floor with his cane twice.
“Dad, don’t be angry. It’s already happened. It can’t be changed.” Lu Shaoyan quietly persuaded, “I was also surprised when I found out about Lin Zhan’s identity. I know that you’ve always remembered Old Master Lin’s kindness, so that’s why I took the initiative of bringing Lin Zhan back.”
Lu Shaoyan looked at Mother Lu. “Sister-in-law, I know this matter isn’t fair to you. But in this matter, Lin Zhan’s mother is also a victim.”
This matter put Mother Lu in a most awkward position.
From Mother Lu’s perspective, Lin Zhan’s mother was her rival. Although she knew exactly what kind of person Lu Shaoren was, she would feel uneasy living under the same roof as her husband’s lover’s child.
Old Master Lu glanced at Mother Lu and started off with quietly saying, “Lin Mei, the Lu’s have wronged you in this matter. Lu Shaoren, that b*stard, he won’t be coming out of prison for the rest of his life!
After saying that, he said to Lin Zhan, “Lin Zhan, don’t worry. Since grandpa knows about this now, I won’t ignore the matter. You’re a good child. I can’t forget your great-grandfather’s kindness. From now on, stay here and live with us. You’ll be considered a member of the Lu’s.”
