Chapter 102 - Lu Yin Ze (III)
If he had taken Lu Yin Ze earlier from that evil man despite the agreement, Lu Yin Ze would not suffer for ten years.
What a young child without a loving mother, father, or brother on his side could do?
Just thinking about it makes Old Lu\'s heartache and all life in his body was drained.
\'Sasha. \'
Old Lu was sitting on his bed. He was holding the picture of him and his daughter, Sasha Lu.
Now that Lu Yin Ze was on his side, he would spoil him. He would give the best of everything to him. Even he befriended a Xiong, a Tang, or a Guan, he doesn\'t care. Even he fell to a Xiong, he would talk it out with the tiger Xiong.
He would put Lu Yin Ze first even in business. What he only wishes for Lu Yin Ze was for him to live his life in satisfaction. Even Lu Yin Ze would not work, he would still give him the inheritance. Of course, he would prepare for Lu Yin Ze\'s people who would look and cultivate for the Lu Empire.
For that older brother of his, Old Lu did not consider him as his grandchild. That man was a stranger to him even they have the same surname Lu. That ungrateful child chose that bastard and was following that bastard\'s steps.
Old Lu\'s broken heart for this grandson was concealed by despising him.
******
Lu Yin Ze entered his room.
His every step was heavy and the shadow behind him was like a monster that never leaves him.
He went to his bedroom then straight to the balcony.
The sun had settled already and darkness was rapidly enveloping the sky. Like how he was feeling, grief and desolation were eating his being.
Once again, life seems so bleak.
Lu Yin Ze was shaking inside. He turned around and sat on the bench. His knees were losing strength. He wanted to lock himself in the room. But he forced himself to calm down and think straight in the balcony. He doesn\'t want to be that boy who lives in the hospital. Always scared and alone.
Lu Yin Ze felt a hard thing when he sat. With shaking hands he took the book that he left in the balcony.
To put his mind at ease and to calm down he read the book even though he finished it already.
After calming himself for two hours, he closed the book.
He did not finish it but it\'s enough since he was calm and sound.
Like the protagonist, he also wants to know what he existed for. Why he had to suffer those things? What are his destinations?
He struggled so much to live. Because as long as he was alive, those two evil men would not be able to sleep peacefully at night.
He was like a thorn to their eyes.
He knew who they are and what they did eight years ago. He promised himself at that hospital that he would gather much evidence to put them into prison.
He had those bits of puzzles in his sleeves. Right now, he had to look more. He had to secure them safely and use them wisely to give them a huge blow.
But right now, he was still powerless.
Even he was in the Old Lu\'s side, he was nothing.
That\'s why those two had not made a move yet.
Lu Yin Ze knew that there are people who were following him and watching him like a hawk. Even in this mansion, there are spies from his brother and father.
He could only act like a boy who wants to live a normal life.
But why?
Why he has to be scared?
He was not in that hospital anymore. He was freed. They might be watching but they can\'t stop him. They can\'t even stop him from befriending a Xiong.
So he should stop stalling time and move hastily.
As time passed, those two evil men would just grow their power. Justice would be harder and harder to achieve.
He would be left behind and soon he would just be a puppet for them.
Lu Yin Ze was afraid of these. When Old Lu left the world, there\'s no doubt that he would inherit the Lu empire.
Once he has it, those two would show up at the door. They would smile and laugh and would control him like before.
In the end, they still won.
Lu Yin Ze knew of these since he stepped on this mansion. He knew there\'s no way that his evil father would allow him to live beside Old Lu so easily. He was like a time bomb for his father. He knew their secrets. But his father and brother knew of him as well.
He was a guy that would be easily shaken by the mention of the two of them.
A coward.
What a coward could do to topple two humongous monsters?
Nothing. He would just cower in fear.
\'But not anymore.\'
Lu Yin Ze stands up. He went to the railing. He looked up at the dark sky. The moon was reflecting in his silver eyes.
He would grow stronger.
He would be a man where he could control his fate. He would protect the Lu Empire. He would make his grandfather Lu proud. He would make his mother\'s soul rest peacefully.
Lu Yin Ze closed his eyes.
His silver hair was shining under the moon.
After a while, he opened his eyes. The gloominess he was feeling was gone. He was determined.
He went outside his room and went to Old Lu\'s room.
The butler who was guarding the room bowed to him and knock. He announced that Lu Yin Ze was waiting at the door.
The room opened and another butler leads him to the master\'s bedroom.
Old Lu was sitting on his rocking chair while holding a picture frame. It faced down so Lu Yin Ze could not see it.
"Grandfather, I apologize I disturbed your rest." Lu Yin Ze bowed.
"Ayo. There\'s no need to be a burden. I can\'t sleep tonight. What is it, my child?" Old Lu was saying the truth, he gestured Lu Yin Ze to come nearer and sit in one of the chairs.
Lu Yin Ze followed and sat beside his grandfather.
"Grandfather, I want to be a part of your company."
Old Lu was stunned. Then he laughed.
"My child. You are a Lu. You will naturally be a part of the company. This old man will give the whole empire to you."
Like what Lu Yin Ze guessed, Old Lu thinks of him as his successor.
Lu Yin Ze smiled. This grandfather of his really wants to spoil him to death.
"I\'m happy to hear that grandfather. I want to be a rightful successor. I want to learn more about the company. " Lu Yin Ze sincerely said.
Old Lu was taken back once more. Then he smiled with tears in his eyes.
"Of course! Of course! If that\'s what you want! Haha! I have a lovely grandson!" Old Lu patted Lu Yin Ze\'s shoulder.
"I will take care of it. Starting tomorrow, your days will be busier than ever. Don\'t come back to me crying that\'s it\'s too hard- " Then Old Lu change his last sentence.
"If you find it too hard, it\'s okay for you to give up. I still have the strength to grow the Lu Empire more that you won\'t need to worry for your grandsons. Haha!"
Lu Yin Ze laughed. He was being doted. It was a warm and fuzzy feeling. He hugged his grandfather.
"Thank you, granddad. I love you." Lu Yin Ze sincerely said. He truly appreciates all his grandfather\'s efforts for him. He truly love his grandfather. He was the only one he could rely on.
Old Lu shed tears but wipe it off. He was too old but he was crying like a girl because of those words.
Lu Yin Ze was a cheerful and lovely child. He remembered how he was hugged like this when Lu Yin Ze was five.
He would be hugged by the child at his doorstep.
\' "Grandad! I miss you!" \'
\' "Granddad! I love you!" \'
Old Lu seems like he could see that child in the boy right now.
He was truly happy.
Lu Yin Ze let him go.
"Granddad, I\'ve decided. On my birthday, we need to invite all the important people in the empire. I want to be introduced. I have to know those people. "
Old Lu patted his own chest.
"No worries grandson. I will take care of it."
At first, Lu Yin Ze planned to have a small celebration. It was for close friends and family (grandfather\'s side). But now, he would make it big. It will be his declaration to the world that he would fight for his own fate.
It might be a long way. It might be tiring.
But he, who had lived all his life in despair and agony, knew it would be worth it. If his willing to even die just to reveal their sins, then just living longer while fighting them and tormenting them would make his life more better.
