Lu Beichen remained silent and only pressed on Lu Qinyu’s shoulder.He thought that he needed to find a doctor and looked into dealing with his father’s heart condition properly.

At night, at Golden Brilliance.

When Lu Beichen entered, many people caught sight of the Young Master on the premises. They all wanted to come and greet him.

But the moment he entered, they immediately noticed that dull expression on his face, as if to say that anyone who came close would get a beating. They knew that he was not in a good mood.

Knowing how Young Master Lu Beichen behaved when he was in a foul mood, they immediately made themselves scarce.

Just then.

Lu Beichen found a private room to sit in. He then called the server in. “Get your boss here.”

The server looked at Lu Beichen. “Huh? Young Master Lu, you want to see… our manager?”

Lu Beichen raised his brow. “Your manager is the boss? Haha. I’m talking about your biggest boss here!”

The biggest boss…

Black Eagle?

The server quickly looked at Lu Beichen. “Young Master Lu, our Director Mo is not around…”

“Haha, don’t lie to me. He’s here today. I know it.”

The server looked and said hastily, “Why don’t I go out and look for him? I’ll get back to you shortly.”

The server wanted to leave.

However, Lu Beichen grabbed hold of him.

“Trying to run away?”

The server’s face was stunned.

It wasn’t because he was timid, but it was because Black Eagle had long instructed everyone to say that he was not around if a Lu family member came looking for him.

The two families had a history, so he did not want to see Lu Beichen. Why would they dare to spout any nonsense?

However, Lu Beichen was no saint. Whoever angered him would not have an easy way out. It was what made the server instinctively want to leave.

But this was no place he could escape from.

Being held onto, he could only beg for mercy.

“Young Master Lu, please spare me. I don’t know. I’m just a small fry here. Don’t put me in a spot.”

“I know that you’re a small fry. Tell me where he is, and I’ll go look for him myself. Otherwise, I don’t care who you are…”

“You…”

“Why? You’re afraid that he wouldn’t let you off now, but you didn’t think about whose hands you’re in now. Do you want to wait for him to deal with you, or do you want to die in my hands right now?”

This was really…

He was so anxious that he was going mad. Just then…

“Alright. The high and mighty Young Master Lu has come to Golden Brilliance. Excuse me for the lack of proper welcome.”

Black Eagle walked in with his men.

The server, as if begging for amnesty, quickly said to Black Eagle, “Director Mo. Director Mo, I said nothing…”

“Alright, get out. Stop being such an embarrassment.” Black Eagle shot the server a glare.

The server left with his tail between his legs.

Lu Beichen scoffed and hit his hand. Then, he looked at Black Eagle. “I don’t need a proper welcome. It’s good enough that you’re willing to meet me.”

Mo Jinyan stood there, hands behind his back as he looked at Lu Beichen.

“What brings you here?”

Lu Beichen was not here to fight today.

He looked at Black Eagle. “Black Eagle, I don’t care what you think. My dad is your father. He’s getting old and can’t wait that long for you and Lin Che. You may not want to admit it, but you are the Lu family’s flesh and blood. What’s the point?”

In the darkness, Mo Jinyan’s eyes revealed a hint of wickedness. That was a sneer at Lu Beichen.

“Blood ties are blood ties. Relationships are relationships. With relationships, he has nothing to do with me. He is your father, not mine.”

Watching Black Eagle leave, Lu Beichen said again, “Do you have to wait until he’s gone for good, for you to have regrets? How sure are you that you will never regret it one day? Why won’t you try it now? We can cultivate relationships. If you don’t see him, how would you know if you don’t have any feelings for him at all?”

“What a joke,” Black Eagle replied. “He never was a part of my life since I was young. In that case, it doesn’t matter to him if he has me or not. Tell me, what kind of relationship can there be?”

Lu Beichen shook his head. “No. I always believed that blood ties are fated. It’s a kind of heaven’s gift. If you want to self-destruct, that is impossible.”

Mo Jinyan still scoffed as he approached Lu Beichen.

A heavy and dark atmosphere filled the room. Mo Jinyan said, “Get this clear. That is because you were by his side, that’s why you think that way.”

Lu Beichen shook his head again. “Let’s not talk about him. Let’s talk about your daughter. Don’t tell me you don’t believe in the fate of blood ties? If you don’t, why do you love her even though you never saw her when she was little? You didn’t even know about her existence.”

The smile on Mo Jinyan’s face fell.

He looked at Lu Beichen for some time before saying two words.

“Get lost!”

Hmph.

Lu Beichen smiled lightly and said, “If it wasn’t because blood ties are fated, I never would have stepped here today either. It’s best if you think this through yourself.”

He walked out as everyone continued to look at the two of them.

Lu Beichen continued walking until he was outside. He leaned against a wall and took out a cigarette.

He naturally wasn’t in a good mood. He wondered what Gu Jingyan would have done in a time like this?

She would stay strong and tell herself that this too shall pass.

A life with troubles was real life. If one wanted no troubles, there would be nothing left when one died.

Thus, life was about dealing with one trouble after another.

Now, he was simply dealing with just one of them.

He made his way home. Unexpectedly, he saw Fu Chenxi at his door.

“Beichen.”

Seeing Lu Beichen appear lethargic, she rushed to him with a look of concern on her face. “Beichen, what’s wrong?”

Lu Beichen frowned. “Chenxi, you seem to be very free every day.”

Fu Chenxi said, “My… My work is more relaxed.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

“You always say that your life is so tragic, but your work is so relaxed, too. Why don’t you just get a part-time job?”

“…” Fu Chenxi was just saying that.

At her work, no one bothered about what she did after everyone found out she knew Lu Beichen.

That was why she had so much free time.

Fu Chenxi said, “I… I thought of that, but I’m quite stupid…”

“Being stupid is not an excuse. If you don’t know something, learn.”

Lu Beichen felt disgusted now.

For that moment, he felt that she didn’t know how to do anything. Furthermore, she never thought about working hard.

She always only claimed that she was very stupid, silly, and naïve.

Just like when they were in school. She simply said that she couldn’t do it when she didn’t put in the effort.

She was too dependent on others.

Lu Beichen only realized now that she seemed to have never done much. Even at work, she did whatever she pleased.

He wanted her to live well, but not this way.

He couldn’t be helping her for her entire life while she didn’t have to do anything.

Annoyed, he said, “Alright. If you have time to bother about me, why don’t you bother about yourself? You don’t have to care about me. I’d still live a better life than you no matter what.”
