577 Can’t Forget Your Child
Lu Feng smiled and said, “Brother, sister-in-law, there’s no need for you to treat me like an outsider. We’re all a part of the Lu family. There is no need to be so polite, isn’t it?” Then, he looked at Lu Shaoyang and said, “Shaoyang, don’t listen to your parents. Keep the money. I’ll take it as you think I gave too little if you don’t accept it.”
“Lu Feng, why are you making a scene?” Lu Guo seemed to have reached the limit of his patience and roared, “You’d better not overdo it. Come to me if you are dissatisfied with anything.”
“I’m here to give Shaoyang a wedding gift. What do you mean by making a scene?” Lu Feng looked puzzled and said with a smile, “When my Shaolin was born, didn’t brother and sister-in-law give him a gift too?” When he said this, it was as if a bomb had been dropped on Lu Guo and Mrs. Lu. They were so shocked that they lost control of their expressions and could not speak. Lu Shaolin had long been a taboo between them. Every time he mentioned it accidentally, Lu Feng would go crazy. How could he mention Lu Shaolin with a smile on his face? Was he crazy? Or did he already know something?
“Who is Lu Shaolin?” Lu Shaoyang was confused and asked, “how come I’ve never heard of this name before?” From his second uncle’s words, Lu Shaolin seemed to be his son. However, after his second uncle divorced his wife, he never married or had any children.
“Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t be asking,” Lu Guo became even more anxious, and he scolded without thinking, “you’re just a kid. Why are you asking so much? You’re the only one with a mouth, aren’t you?”
“Brother, let’s talk this out. Why are you scolding Shaoyang?” Lu Feng was still smiling. He picked up the cigar again but did not light it and only played with it between his fingers. His posture was a little carefree, and his eyelids were slightly drooped, making it impossible for others to see his expression. “It’s normal that Shaoyang has never heard of the name Lu Shaolin. Lu Shao is my son. It’s a pity that he died shortly after he was born.” He sounded calm as he said slowly, “it’s been so many years, and it’s always been a scar in my heart. I didn’t like to hear anyone mention this name before. So, it’s normal you’ve never heard of it, Shaoyang.”
Lu Shaoyang was slightly shocked. He only knew that Lu Feng had divorced but did not know he had a child. Why had his parents never mentioned this to him? His parents didn’t have a good relationship with Lu Feng, and his father always scolded Lu Feng. He didn’t believe that his parents would be so considerate as not to mention his second uncle’s pain of losing his son and treat it as if it had never happened.
Lu Shaoyang felt something was wrong. He wanted to ask more, but Lu Guo glared at him. “Everything is in the past. Why do you have to mention it? Stop it!”
“That’s right, everyone has to look forward,” Mrs. Lu forced a smile and consoled Lu Feng, “Lu Feng, so many years have passed. It’s good that you’ve gotten over it. Let the past stay in the past. There’s no need to bring it up again. You’re still young and have a long time to live in the future.”
“I have to mention it. If I didn’t mention it, wouldn’t no one remember my poor child then?” Lu Feng smiled, but his smile was filled with sorrow and pain. He muttered, as if he was talking to himself but also to them, “as a parent, you can’t forget your child…”
Lu Guo felt a chill down his spine. In the past, when Lu Feng had gone crazy, he felt impatient and thought that he was causing trouble. He had hoped that Lu Feng would quickly calm down. But now that Lu Feng had calmed down, he felt afraid. If possible, he hoped Lu Feng would continue to go crazy and not mention a single word about the past.
Lu Feng did not seem to notice Lu Guo’s expression. He handed the red envelope to Lu Shaoyang again and said with a smile, “There’s not much money in there, only 100,000 yuan. Please take it as a small token of appreciation from me as an uncle. You can buy whatever you like with it.”
100,000 yuan was indeed not a lot for a family like theirs. However, Lu Guo and Mrs. Lu’s expressions turned even uglier. They looked displeased. Lu Feng didn’t look at them. He stood up after handing the gift, put the unlit cigar back into his pocket, and said, “Alright, I came here today to give you a gift. I’ll be returning now that I’ve delivered the gift.” He headed to the door and suddenly turned around. “Right. I have something to advise you on, brother?”
“What?” Lu Guo seemed to be frightened as he stared at Lu Feng.
