After Old Master Lu’s funeral, the relatives staying over at the Lu’s family house began to leave one after another. The only ones remaining were a few elderlies that were of the same generation as Old Master Lu.

  They were either Old Master Lu’s siblings or cousins. All of them had been living a luxurious lifestyle off of the Lu family’s goodwill. Old Master Lu’s will sent the message that they would no longer receive any more goodwill or money from the Lu family loud and clear.

  The amounts they had received were not shabby. They were amounts larger than a normal person dared to dream about. But now that these people were used to a certain lifestyle and that they now had children and grandchildren, the amounts seemed very insufficient.

  Not to mention that this was meant to be the final payout. Once they walked out of that door, they would no longer receive another penny from the Lu’s fortune.

  As such, how could the cousins not panic under such a situation.

  Early in the morning, sitting at the dinner table, these relatives looked at Lu Beichuan solemnly, hoping to have a conversation with him.

  “Beichuan, have you given what we have talked about at the hospital some more thought?”


  They were referring to the fact that the fortune was not divided equitably.

  A sarcastic voice came from the door and reached the dinner table. “What is this all about?’


  Lu Shaoyan, who had disappeared for 5 days, finally came out of his room. Walking over to the dinner table languidly, he picked a seat casually, sat down, and helped himself to a bowl of congee. He mumbled as he ate, “Why the silence all of a sudden? Carry on.”


  Nobody at the dinner table talked.

  Lu Shaoyan finished up a bowl of congee and smiled at the others, who had a variety of expressions, and asked, “What? Nothing now? What is it that I am not privy to?”


  Many of them looked over at him with very disgruntled looks.

  Fourth Great-uncle, who sat next to Lu Beichuan, was the first to break the silence. “Alright, Shaoyan, since you have finally decided to leave your room, you might as well be a part of this conversation. We feel that the way that Old Master Lu had divided up his assets was inappropriate!”


  “Oh? Not appropriate? What is so inappropriate about it?”


  Fourth Great-uncle grunted. “You haven’t been here in China in recent years and have no idea of the cost of living here. Old Master Lu hadn’t been healthy and had resigned from the frontline a long time ago. Beichuan is the one who had been taking care of the Lu’s Corporation. But now? All Beichuan gets is the Lu’s Corporation and none of the other Lu’s assets. I feel that that’s unfair to Beichuan!”


  Lu Beichuan, being the person in question, had not chimed in when many others at the dinner table concurred with Fourth Great-uncle.

  “So, what exactly are you trying to say, Fourth Great-uncle?”


  “I think we need to have lawyers redistribute the Lu’s real estates and overseas assets.” Fourth Great-uncle sighed and carried on. “Old Master Lu was not at his best on the day that he divided the assets. Most likely he did not have his mental clarity either. Had we known that Old Master Lu was that ill, we should have taken him to the hospital!”


  Lu Shaoyan snickered and tossed down the bowl and spoon. Reclining backward, he gave Fourth Great-uncle a sideway glance. “So Fourth Great-uncle feels that I should offer up the real estate and assets overseas for redistribution.”


  Fourth Great-uncle showed no shame whatsoever. He carried on in all seriousness. “I am glad we see eye to eye on this.”


  Lu Shaoyan snickered and listened to what he was saying as though it was all a big joke. He didn’t even bother responding to him before he got up and started to leave.

  “Lu Shaoyan, where are you going? We are still in the middle of this conversation.”


  Lu Shaoyan shrugged, looking ever so nonchalant. “I’ve heard what you were saying. Carry on. Don’t mind me.”


  “Nobody wants to pay you any attention! Old Master Lu had truly raised a white-eyed wolf. He doted on you so much when he was alive and didn’t even get so much as an incense from you after his death. Just look at yourself. You are a mess!” said Fourth Great-uncle angrily. “Had he known that this is how you are going to be like after his death, he would definitely not have left you with what he did!”


  “Well, pardon me. Old Master Lu is dead now and there were lawyers who witnessed the come about of the will. Take a look at yourself if you think you can demand a cut from me just because you don’t agree with the distribution of the properties. To put it bluntly, those were Old Master Lu’s money. He could give them to whoever he pleased. Better to give them to me than to you leeches.”


  His words made Fourth Great-uncle tremble in anger. Pointing at Lu Shaoyan with his shaking finger, he said, “You…… what did you just say?!”


  He looked over at Lu Beichuan after he said that. “Beichuan, listen to this. Listen to what this white-eyed wolf is saying. Had Old Master Lu been still alive, he would have been driven to his grave by such speech! It was a waste for the Lu’s assets to go to him! He would just blow them all off!”


  Lu Beichuan just let the two of them go at each other and did not get involved.

  Lu Shaoyan just chuckled. “Better I blow off the money then let you suck it all dry. Tell you what. The thought of you having nowhere else to leech from makes me happy.”
