"Whether you are accepting this or not. It doesn't matter to me. This is my final decision and I will not change it at any cost." Elder Lu said.
"But, father…."
"Enough, my decision won't be going to change. Now, all of you can leave. I would like to talk with Xiao Lan alone."
Everyone left from the study room and leave Elder Lu and Lu Lan alone.
Lu Lan didn't say a word as she thought that it was a dream which would be broken down in pieces like glass because even though, Lu Family had adopted her, she didn't have any good memories with this family.
However, she didn't know that this time, things had changed differently…
Since Elder Lu's operation, he wanted to talk to her and wanted to apologise to her, but he didn't get the chance for it. He indeed indebted of her.
"I know...things have turned out like this that...no explanation, no reasoning would be seemed to be appropriate, but still, I just want to apologise." Elder Lu guilty said.
Since he had adopted her as his granddaughter, he hadn't spent time with her because of business matters.
He didn't look for her that how was she?...
How was she feeling?...
Did she adjust to this new environment?...
She had never complained to him about anything and he thought that she was okay. However, he now was realising, how much wrong he was.
He had been very unfair towards her…
"You don't have to apologise, I haven't blamed you…" Lu Lan said without looking at him.
After a while, Elder Lu soft asked "Is Si Li taking care of you? How is Si Family with you?"
Lu Lan was stunned for a moment, it was the first time, when Elder Lu had spoken to her so softly and showed to her, his concern.
After a while, Lu Lan looked up at him and smiled faintly while replying "Hmmm, he is taking care of me very well. Si Family is also good to me, especially mom."
Really, Madam Si doted on Lu Lan like her daughter, as Madam Si always had been wished to have a daughter, but her wish did not fulfil until Lu Lan became the part of Si Family.
"If you get some time then try to come to meet me with your family. I would like to meet Little Champ. How is he now?" Elder Lu asked.
For the next half an hour, Elder Lu had asked all the questions regarding her life. Although it was shocking to her, still she answered the questions of his and promised to come with Little Champ.
It seemed that Elder Si had already shown off to Elder Lu for being Little Champ's favourite great-grandfather and now, Elder Lu also wanted to be Little Champ's favourite great-grandfather and wanted to have a competition with Elder Si.
Well, the winner would be decided by Little Champ, after he would meet Elder Lu. Till then, Elder Lu had to wait…
When Lu Lan left the study room, Lu Xuelon was waiting outside for her. Lu Lan ignored her and went towards the stairs, however, Lu Xuelon blocked her path.
"Move aside." Lu Lan coldly said as she didn't want to waste her time with Lu Xuelon.
"Even I don't want to watch your dirty face. Although, grandfather has given you most of the shares, but don't take it for granted. I will take back all the things which belong to me including Si Li." Lu Xuelon sternly said. Her face clearly showed that she was controlling her anger and tried to control herself for not to bust out her anger, as she had been doing in the past.
Lu Lan's lips curved up slightly while her eyes were ridiculously looking at Lu Xuelon "Really, then I will wait for your attack."
Afterwards, Lu Lan left without looking back. If it had been old Lu Lan, then she wouldn't have opened her mouth and let Lu Xuelon to take whatever she wanted.
However, this new Lu Lan had changed a lot. Now, she had understood that she had to fight for her own happiness. And for Si Li and Little Champ, she would be ready to fight with anyone.
...
Si Li was waiting for her beside his car while talking with someone on his phone. Lu Lan knew that it was a call related to business. Even though he had taken a day off, but these phone calls hadn't left his side.
Seeing him working all the time, Lu Lan heart ached for him. She wanted to help him, but she couldn't leave Little Champ as well. She wanted to take Song Tianxin's help, but she was already missing. Lu Lan asked about her, however, Si Li said that she had some personal matter that was why she took leave for a few days.
Si Li didn't want to talk about it, so Lu Lan didn't ask further. As Song Tianxin was Mo Jinnan's girlfriend, so things had been changed after Mo Jinnan's attack on Lu Lan and Little Champ. That was why, Song Tianxin might not have wanted to work in Si Li Corporation.
However, Lu Lan didn't know that Song Tianxin had less than fifteen days left in her life.
Mo Jinnan didn't get a single piece of information about Liu Juan(a.k.a. Liu Ruolan) up till now.
Moreover, Si Li wasn't in the mood to show mercy as well.
