Chapter 707 Is the bond of blood really that deep?
The person who came was Madam Lu. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked much more haggard. She was looking at Lu Zhaolin with disgust.
Seeing this, the guard realized something was wrong and quickly said, "Ah, I'll go guard the commander. You two chat."
Before the words were even finished, the person had already vanished.
Lu Zhaolin was already used to his sister-in-law's cold face, so his expression didn't change much. He simply said, "We are brothers, so it's only right that I care about him."
"I bother!"
Madam Lu reacted strongly, spitting at him with disgust and revulsion. "Only brothers are more scheming. You sent your son to my house to show filial piety right after Shengchao's sacrifice. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"
Lu Zhaolin frowned. "I've explained it many times. My brother is in great pain from losing Shengchao. I let Shengying go there often so that he can find some comfort!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Lu immediately exploded, completely disregarding the fact that they were in the hospital, and began to mock and berate him.
"Bullshit! You call yourself a university professor, yet you don't do anything a decent human being would do!"
Sending your son to offer comfort to a family that has just lost their son—are you sure you're not stabbing us in the heart with a knife?!
Ha, how hypocritical!
I know Lu Shengying is also a descendant of your Lu family. My old Lu has lost all hope, so if you want your Lu family to continue to prosper, you have to raise your son. Am I right?
You're so clever! You're always focused on your career, and you've taken care of your son, Lao Lu. Not only did you send him abroad to study, but you also got him a job in a key national institution, and even mentored him. You're so kind, but you've managed to get all the good things in the world!
“Sister-in-law…you, how could you assume such things about me? We are family, I…” Lu Zhaolin looked heartbroken and sad, but was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Who says we're family!"
What angered Madam Lu the most was the phrase "family." What kind of family was it without her son?!
Lu Jianshe is the eldest son of the Lu family. For the sake of the family's rise and fall, he is willing to raise his nephew and even hand over the Lu family to him in the future.
And what about her? Has anyone considered how much pain she felt after losing her beloved son?
The hospital was crowded, and some people who heard the commotion looked over. Lu Zhaolin didn't want to argue with her any longer, so he looked at Madam Lu as if she were an ignorant child.
“I know my sister-in-law is upset because my brother suddenly had an accident. If scolding me will make you feel better, then feel free to take your anger out on me.”
"Could we please not do this in a public setting? I don't want my brother's family affairs to be discussed and his reputation damaged, making him a laughingstock. Can we discuss any conflicts privately?"
As he spoke, he glanced at those people several times, signaling to Madam Lu that she should stop now, otherwise he wouldn't be the only one embarrassed.
Moreover, his elder brother has just been promoted to deputy division commander and cannot afford to make any mistakes. If you want him to be well, you'd better keep quiet now.
Madam Lu was already familiar with Lu Zhaolin's soft-threat tactics. He had used this method countless times before, using the eyes of bystanders and the stability of their own home to remind her not to go crazy.
It's the biggest joke in the world. When they're using Lao Lu, they spout nonsense like "we're all family," "it's all for your own good," and "my son is your son, and we'll put you first in everything." They're just spouting a bunch of lies that never repeat themselves.
Now, when she doesn't want to pretend anymore, she uses the Lu family's reputation to shut her up.
Madam Lu looked at Lu Zhaolin and suddenly laughed, laughing at her own misery, and also laughing at how Lu Jianshe, who had been shrewd all his life, could not see through his own brother.
Lu Zhaolin is a complete hypocrite. His desire to exploit the family is almost blatantly obvious, yet Lu Jianshe is still wholeheartedly devoted to their family.
Is the bond of blood really that deep?
Ke Shengchao is his biological son. Shouldn't he be more heartbroken and grief-stricken like her? How can he wholeheartedly raise someone else's son?
