Chapter 28 Coercion

Knock knock

Lu Qi sat by the bed alone and sulked. Xie Jiao pushed the door gently and entered the room. She put on a gentle smile, put her hand on her shoulder, and stroked the top of her hair helplessly, “Don’t blame your father. He’s also in a difficult position. Lu Wei is his younger brother after all, and your grandpa is his father.”

“Actually, I know that you can’t stand to see the extended family bully us again, but things have to be done slowly…”

Xie Jiao sighed and told Lu Qi the story of Lu Han’s childhood.

“When your father was young, the old man loved him very much and would show off to others wherever he went. But after Lu Wei was born, the old man’s attitude changed a lot. He began to be biased and even ordered your father to take care of Lu Wei. He’s gotten used to it over the years.”

Lu Qi frowned. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t figure it out.

Xie Jiao raised her hand to smooth out the wrinkles between her eyebrows and made the bed for Lu Qi. “Come with us to the hospital tomorrow to visit the old man and say a few nice words. Even if it’s for your father’s sake, you have to bear with it, okay?”

Lu Qi couldn’t refuse Xie Jiao’s words, so she could only nod and agree gloomily.

The next morning, Lu Qi reluctantly stood outside the ward with some fruits in her hand.

In the ward, Lu Wei was attentively taking care of old master Lu. When they heard the knock on the door, their expressions instantly changed as they stared at Lu Han.

Old master Lu sat up with Lu Wei’s help. He coughed with his fist pressed against his lips and said in an aged and tired voice, “Find a way to bring Nuannuan out of the police station as soon as possible! Now that things have become like this, Lu Wei definitely won’t be able to work in the company again.” “Nuannuan has the stigma of intentional injury on her. How big of an impact does it have on her?”

old master Lu glared at Lu Qi fiercely and continued to speak through gritted teeth, “If Lu Wei has to depend on you to live, I’m afraid that your precious daughter will drive them to their deaths before I die!”

“The Lu Enterprise belongs to the Lu family. Logically speaking, Lu Wei should also have a part of it. As long as you’re willing to give him 20% of the shares, I won’t pursue the matter anymore. No one in the Lu family will mention it in the future. What do you think?”

Old master Lu made an absurd request, and Lu Qi wanted to argue with him. However, Xie Jiao held her wrist and shook her head slightly, indicating for her to keep quiet.

Lu Han frowned and stood in the same spot. With great difficulty, he said, “Dad, 20% of the shares is too much.”

“The group is still in its development stage. During the financing process, a lot of shares will be given away. I only have 35% of the shares. If I give 20% to Lu Wei, he will become the biggest shareholder of the enterprise. This…” was basically giving the company to Lu Wei.

Lu Han didn’t say the second half of his sentence, but his resistance clearly angered old master Lu.

“You two are biological brothers. Does it matter who controls the shares?”

Old master Lu wanted to continue reprimanding, but Lu Qi finally couldn’t stand it anymore and stood up. She coldly looked at the old man lying on the hospital bed, raised the corner of her lips, and said mockingly, “Grandpa, I see that your voice is loud and you have so much confidence when you’re scolding my father. There’s clearly no problem with your body.” “You said that it doesn’t matter who controls the shares, so why did you insist on stealing father’s shares? Isn’t that a little too strange!”

Lu Wei looked at Lu Han and shouted, “Lu Han, aren’t you going to do something about your own daughter? What are you going to do if Lu Qi angers father and makes his condition worse?”

“You… look at the daughter you’ve brought up! All she knows is to talk back to her elders!”

Lu Qi looked at them trying to use their status to pressure others. She shrugged and said, “I do know how to respect my elders, but my elders have to say something worthy of respect! Isn’t it enough for you to try your best to squeeze our family dry?” Old master Lu stole a glance at Lu Han from the corner of his eye. Seeing that he hadn’t said anything for a long time, he collapsed on the hospital bed and said, “Fine! Lu Han, when Lu Qi pisses me off, I’ll give all of the Lu Enterprise to you guys…”

When Lu Han heard that old master Lu was cursing him, his eyes wavered and he almost blurted out a promise.

At the critical moment, Mo Chen’s voice suddenly sounded outside the ward. “I’m sorry to disturb your conversation.”

He came to Lu Qi’s side and explained, “I have a friend in this hospital who happened to see Uncle Lu’s car in the parking lot so I came up to say hello. I’m not interrupting you guys, am

I?!

Lu Qi looked at his naturally calm expression and suspected that he had deliberately chosen this moment to appear.
