Chapter 88; He can't go on existing

Song Yaya shook her head violently. "He's not a, Lu. He can't be a Lu. He shouldn't inherit anything at all! My kids deserve it! Only my kids carry the Lu bloodline and he shouldn't inherit anything!"

"You keep saying that," Gabriel murmured. "But Lu Zhi Hao sees Lu Zi Zhen as his heir. And maybe it's because he deserves it." Lu Zi Zhen was definitely a different breed, the way he carried himself! The way she wasn't fazed with anything! This was a guy who had everything, he had capabilities.

From his silent nods and movements, you could tell he was a capable man. Even Lu Ting Cheng had some similarities with him. They weren't even trying to get some investors, they didn't give anyone any face! Their composure meant they had what they needed.

Across the room, Lu Zi Zhen whispered something into his mother's ear that made her laugh—genuine, relaxed. While the painting was stored away by their guards.

He reached out and adjusted the scarf at her shoulder with quiet affection. The crowd looked on in admiration, not just at their wealth, but at the strength of their bond. The family looked harmonious and happy.

Lu Zhi Hao lifted his hand and pinched his cheek! "You really are something!" He wasn't reprimanding him but a proud parent! Having that Crown Cipher card you had to have immense wealth! Unmatched! He knew this guy operated more than enough businesses with Lu Ting Cheng, it's just that he didn't need to expose them. So long as they handled their things, and stayed safe, he would stay out of their business.

"Daddy... Don't pinch my cheeks! They would sag, and I would look old," Lu Zi Zhen whined, gazing at his mother adoringly. Lu Ting Cheng got closer and placed his arm on his shoulders.

"You are disturbing them for the tenth time! Let's go over there and make some connections. Mnnh?" Lu Ting Cheng eyed him and Lu Zi Zhen rolled his eyes at him. Lu Ting Zhou also got closer, and in seconds, they were giggling. The family looked harmonious.

Song Yaya's breath hitched. A flash of the past burned in her mind—Zhi Hao, in a wrinkled shirt, begging her to stay. Her sons, confused and crying also begging her not to leave them, watching as she stepped into a luxury car with her luggage and never looked back.

She had thought she was rising above them.

But now, all she could do was watch from below.

And envy the family she once scorned. She regretted it so much.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, turning her hands red.

"If he's not Zhi Hao's blood," she coldly whispered, "then he's not untouchable. He can't go on existing."

Gabriel turned his head sharply. "Yaya. Don't do anything reckless. This time… there will be no coming back. Don't try him!" A few people have heard about Lu Zi Zhen in the underground business and black market; he had significant control in that place.

He wasn't some naive little kid! He could tell several shadow guards were planted all over the building, and a few snipers in the surrounding buildings. This couldn't be Lu Zhi Hao's men only.

He had to take control as soon as possible and not let her plot anything

But she didn't answer.

She was already plotting.

Because if the truth didn't favor her—then she would twist it until it did. She would do anything she deemed to be useful to her.

Soon, it was Item number twenty-three: A huge red Ruby, 10 carat.

"The starting price would be 100,000,000...." The emcee announced gazing at the prominent figures that were present today. This was a unique gem worth every penny.
