"Okay, everyone, be quiet."
As the oldest elder present, Lu Yunhua spoke up.
"Huanting, what are you doing? We are all from the same clan. Today we are here to discuss your business, why are you kneeling down? Get up, get up..."
Lu Yunhua stood up and walked to Lu Huanting. Just as he was about to help him, he was interrupted by a cold and indifferent voice.
"Uncle, you'd better not help him."
Lu Yuchen was sitting right opposite Lu Huanting.
Even though his biological father was kneeling in front of him, Master Lu did not move at all.
He didn't mind at all the fact that his father was kneeling to his son, which was a heinous crime.
He looked down at the "family" kneeling on the ground and pretending to be pitiful.
The curve of the lips made the smile cruel.
"Yuchen, what do you mean? He is your father!" The uncle turned his head to look at Lu Yuchen behind him, feeling chilled by his actions.
Lu Yuchen didn't care about Lu Yunhua's disapproval at all. He looked up at him with cold eyes.
He spoke in a cold voice, word by word.
"Uncle, I don't have a father. My father died long before he left City A."
"You..." Lu Yunhua's heart trembled at the coldness in Master Lu's eyes.
"Yuchen, you can't be so stubborn. Your father is still alive and kneeling in front of you. No matter how many misunderstandings you have about your father, he is still your father. You don't deserve to have him kneel in front of you."
The uncle standing by said in a sarcastic tone.
"If he were my father, I would naturally not be worthy of him. Unfortunately, he is not."
The third uncle was also not calm. After receiving Lu Huanting's look, he jumped out and said, "Yuchen, your eldest uncle is right. You shouldn't care about this matter anymore. Let your father get up first..."
Mr. Lu turned a deaf ear to these advices.
He just stared at Lu Yunhua with unfathomable eyes.
"Uncle, there is something I must explain to you. Lu Huanting left the Lu family for nearly ten years, and now he has only knelt for a minute, and you have let him come back out of your heart. If this matter gets out, people outside will think that betraying the Lu family is something that can be easily forgiven. The prestige of the Lu family has been damaged. I don't know if it is Uncle who is responsible for this, or the eldest uncle, the third uncle..."
As Master Lu spoke, he looked at the three people.
Everyone who was questioned by Mr. Lu took a step back.
They can help Lu Huanting, but no one is willing to take responsibility that will damage the family's authority.
"Yuchen, you... you shouldn't be too pushy. If you think it's so easy to forgive your father, then tell me, what do you want me to do in order to let go? He is your father after all, blood is thicker than water, don't let your mother's words brainwash you..."
Hearing what his uncle said, Uncle Lu laughed again.
Blood is thicker than water. It is extremely ironic to use these four words on Lu Huanting.
If they hadn't been so aggressive, he might not have cared.
But... the more Lu Huanting and the illegitimate children wanted something, the more he, Lu Yuchen, would refuse to give it to them.
There was a hint of teasing in Master Lu's eyes, and his dark eyes looked at his 'family members' who were kneeling on the ground.
"It's not impossible to let them come back," he said.
“Yuchen…” Xinluo and Zhuo Yarong’s faces tightened and they all looked at him nervously.
Master Lu gave them a soothing look, and then slowly said, "But too easy a condition will make outsiders think that our Lu family's rules are not strict. How about this, he has been away for ten years, so let's give him a half-price discount and let him go to Qinglong Temple to serve our Lu family's ancestors. After serving for five years, I will let him come back."
In Qinglong Temple, there are tablets of the ancestors of the Lu family.
After five years of service, everything has changed.
Now, I’m afraid that half of these old people who supported Lu Huanting will die.
By then, Master Lu will have completely taken control of the Lu family, and it would be difficult for Lu Huanting to stir up trouble again.
