Chapter 359 What is the purpose of marrying you?
Lu Tingnian nodded, then looked at Butler Wang and asked, "Where is Father?"
"The master is in his study."
Butler Wang replied quickly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tingnian headed towards the study.
In the study, Lu Hanlin was writing with a calligraphy brush. He caught a glimpse of his son entering, but didn't stop immediately. He waited until the last stroke was completed before putting down the brush and saying,
"came back."
Lu Tingnian nodded, his gaze inadvertently falling on the character he had just written, a powerful and vigorous character that read "合".
Unfortunately, he didn't like this style of writing.
"What's up?"
His expression was indifferent, and his tone was icy.
Lu Hanlin didn't pay any attention, and methodically tidied up the things on the table before looking at him and saying:
"I can't contact you unless there's something wrong."
Lu Tingnian ignored him.
Lu Hanlin walked to the tea table and sat down, fiddling with the tea set as he spoke.
"Don't forget, you will always be my son."
As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea and placed it on the empty seat opposite him.
Lu Tingnian then sat down in that spot, but glanced at the tea in front of him, ignored it, and only uttered two words sarcastically.
"is it?"
They were completely unconvinced.
Lu Hanlin saw all of this, but paid no attention. Instead, he continued drinking his tea and said:
"You've been back for so long, and you haven't even reported to Lu's Group. You've also caused such a commotion. Does that mean you don't plan to go back to Lu's Group?"
Lu Tingnian naturally knew that Lu Hanlin's so-called "causing such a big commotion" referred to the matter in which he personally came forward to clarify things for Qiao Luo last time.
He understood now; his father was blaming him for starting his own company without telling the family, instead of choosing to return to the Lu family business and inherit the family fortune. He scoffed.
"Do you need me to return to the Lu family?"
Lu Hanlin did not answer directly, but took a sip of tea slowly before saying, "You are my only son, what do you say?"
Lu Tingnian knew, of course, that he was the only son of the Lu family, but who said that an only son had to inherit the family business?
Moreover, he did not believe that the Lu family needed an heir like him.
After all, my father's generation had many brothers and sisters, and those uncles and aunts all had their own children.
Furthermore, the Lu family business is a family enterprise, so there is no shortage of heirs.
Moreover, he never believed that in his father Lu Hanlin's heart, he received any treatment befitting an only son.
Thinking this, he sneered:
"I don't think it's necessary. After all, didn't you abandon me, your son, more than ten years ago?"
These words clearly provoked Lu Hanlin. He paused in his teacup and then slammed it heavily onto the tea table.
"You bastard, who told you that?"
Lu Tingnian: "Do I need anyone to tell me? Didn't you already make your choice back then?"
His face was completely indifferent, and he spoke without any expression.
It's like talking about something trivial.
Lu Hanlin quickly realized what he was referring to and calmed down.
"What happened back then was all out of necessity."
However, his explanation only earned him a very contemptuous sneer from Lu Tingnian.
"is it?"
"Or did your mother say something to you?"
Lu Hanlin's words were pointed.
Lu Tingnian snorted coldly:
“My mother isn’t that bored; she’s never mentioned you in front of me.”
"Really? Then I should thank her." Lu Hanlin's words were full of sarcasm.
Lu Tingnian:
"No need for thanks, just don't go back on your promise to her."
Upon hearing this, Lu Hanlin's expression stiffened, then he scoffed coldly.
"In your heart, is this the kind of person your father is?"
Lu Tingnian: "I don't need to judge what kind of person you are, and I'm not qualified to do so, but I have eyes and I can see clearly."
"Really? You think what you see is the truth? Let me tell you, there are many things in this world that you can't see clearly, just like the wife you married. What do you think her purpose was in marrying you?"
Lu Hanlin was clearly implying something.
Lu Tingnian could easily understand that his father had brought him back because of this matter.
He scoffed, "So all you were going around in circles to say was this."
Lu Hanlin did not deny it.
Lu Tingnian: "If that's the case, I advise you not to bring it up again. Who I marry and what her purpose is in marrying me are all my own business, and you don't need to worry about them."
"Is that so?" Lu Hanlin clearly didn't think so.
But Lu Tingnian no longer gave him a chance to speak.
"Since you have nothing else to do, I'll be going now."
After saying that, he got up and left.
"...Some things shouldn't be said too early; you'll understand someday."
Lu Hanlin's voice came from behind.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tingnian paused, then scoffed coldly.
"Is that so? Then we'll talk about it on that day."
After saying that, he continued walking forward.
Lu Hanlin stared at his departing figure, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
The hotel room door.
Qiao Luo had been waiting at the door, but more than an hour had passed and she still hadn't seen Lu Tingnian return. She thought he might have something to take care of and was just about to call him to ask when he would be back when her phone suddenly rang.
