Chapter 2006: Only This Once, I'll Cover for You

Is this a show of loyalty?

But isn’t it a bit too formal?

Mr. Lu naturally thought of those three years when the whole Lu Family felt like the sky was falling. He and his wife never gave up searching for Zhenzhen, and they had to keep it a secret from the whole Lu Family, always claiming Zhenzhen was ill. The elder family members were worried and wanted to see her, but they kept blocking them, which angered the elders. Those years were tough for the couple, caught in the middle.

“Fortunately, we found her. We’ve watched over the years how you’ve spoiled Zhenzhen. We are naturally at ease entrusting her to you,” Mr. Lu paused, feeling a hint of doubt in his heart, “Why are you suddenly bringing this up with me?”

“In the coming decades, I’ll be with her, I’ll protect her, and I’ll never let her be wronged again in this lifetime. She’s fortunate to have you and mom as her parents, but you should ease up a bit; whatever plans you have, Zhenzhen shouldn’t be shortchanged in the least. Some truths are too unbearable, so if you want to keep them from her, then hide them for a lifetime, at least let her be happy, whether it’s genuine or an illusion—”

Gao Zhe tightened his lips, his face darkened inch by inch, and he stared straight at him without blinking, a chilling aura seemingly enveloping his brows.

His voice was deep, each word sharp like a cold knife: “Let her have a blissful and complete original family, I’ll fill in the rest. Now that you have stepped back, the company is managed by Zhenzhen, so you don’t need to worry. I can’t control other things, but in front of Zhenzhen, you only need to be a father who loves her unconditionally.”

Mr. Lu’s brows twitched as he tried to smile to ease the atmosphere, but under Gao Zhe’s stare, he felt very uncomfortable.

What followed was the fury of an elder.

What gives a youngster the right to be so rude to him!

“You don’t need to emphasize; I’ve always loved Zhenzhen dearly. She’s my only daughter, naturally, everything that’s mine is hers, the fatherly love I give her is abundant, so I don’t understand the purpose of your words.”

“Is that so?” Gao Zhe retorted.

He didn’t follow up with anything but continued to stare coldly at Mr. Lu.

It wasn’t the look a junior would give an elder, nor was there a hint of respect, rather it was an assessing kind of suppression.

After a long while, he said, “That’s for the best. As long as you are willing to be a good father, Zhenzhen and I will naturally care for you in your old age. Otherwise—”

Mr. Lu’s face darkened, his anger visible, “Are you threatening me?”

“Not really. I’m just calmly discussing things with you. If you choose to see it as a threat, then so be it.”

Gao Zhe stood up, “Just this once, I’ll keep it a secret for you, not out of respect for you, but to spare my Zhenzhen from grievance. In the future, take care of yourself.”

Mr. Lu’s lips moved, a sort of embarrassment from having his shameful secret exposed flared in his eyes, but Gao Zhe paid it no mind.

His face flushed red, his lips moved a few times, but no words came out. He watched as Gao Zhe leisurely walked away in front of him and went upstairs.

This kid!

He respects him less and less!

What does he mean by leaving everything to Zhenzhen.

Easy to say!

Since ancient times, where has there been talk of leaving all family assets to a daughter, especially for a prominent family like the Lu Family with generations of legacy, countless branch members in the family eyeing the interests in Zhenzhen’s hands, openly and covertly.

The Gao Family can protect her, but are they truly genuine?

A daughter is ultimately an outsider; in the end, it would only benefit her husband’s family.
