Chapter 318 - Missing Again (Part-2)

"Mummy…"Little Champ sprinted down to Lu Lan. He still wore his pajamas as he woke up now.

He immediately leaped on Lu Lan's l.a.p but was cautious enough to not hurt his little sister who was inside his mother's stomach.​​

Lu Lan's heart immediately melted seeing his little gesture. So what her husband did not care about her, she had her son. With that, she put Si Li out of her mind and gave complete attention to her son. 

But it was a lie she told to herself.

"My Baby, wake up early today." Lu Lan asked softly as she hugged him.

Before Little Champ could reply, his stomach growled.

Little Champ's little face turned red in embarrassment while Lu Lan and Madam Si chuckled. "Oh...My sweetheart is hungry that's why he wakes up early. Grandma will go and cook something delicious for you, okay?" 

"Hmm…" Little Champ nodded and leaned into Lu Lan's arms

Madam Si walked into the kitchen and servants followed after her to assist her.

"Mummy, what does little sister like to eat?" Little Champ asked.

"Hmm...I don't know. When she comes into this world, you will ask her." Lu Lan shrugged and continued to ruffle his hands affectionately.

"But it will take…" Little Champ started counting using his little fingers and continued. "...Eight months, 2 weeks, and 4 days...would it not be too late then? Can she not come out soon?"

Lu Lan could not help but laugh. She just mentioned casually that his sister would come into this world after nine months and he already noticed it down and counting every single day.

…

Since Si Li went missing again, Madam Si cooked favorite dishes for Lu Lan. She was worried that it would affect Lu Lan's mood. And it did which Lu Lan tried to hide but it was clearly shown in her eyes.

It was the second time, Si Li went missing without any word. 

Did he not care about her?

Elder Si was also angry about it but he did not say anything.

After breakfast, Little Champ went to school and Lu Lan went to Lu Corporation. Elder Lu called to inform her that he had held the shareholders' meeting today.

Being the largest shareholder, Lu Lan needed to be present there. It seemed that Elder Lu was going to keep his words to announce every Lu Lan's true identity.

But before that Lu Lan went to her parents' grave.

After knowing the real truth of her parents, Lu Lan wanted to come here but she could not muster up her courage.

Previously, she was angry at Li Na. Lu Lan thought that Li Na should have given up on Lu Lan rather than giving birth to her. In that case, Lu Lan would not have to face humiliation. 

She still remembered Shu Han-You's hurtful words. 

But now Lu Lan was pregnant, she could understand why her mother did not give up on her and she was glad for it.

Not only her mother did not give up on her but she also chose the right person to be Lu Lan's father.

For Lu Lan, Wang Yang was her father and would always be.

"I never hate you. You were the best mother in this world." Lu Lan said as she put on lilies on Li Na's grave.

Then she moved to Wang Yang's grave and put lilies on it as well. "You will always be my father. Nothing will change. Thank you for loving me." 

Her eyes' rim was moist as she stood in front of her parents' graves.

Sniffingly, she walked away from there after a while.

Lu Corporation.

Lu Corporation was on the edger of bankruptcy. Many shareholders were already thinking to change the CEO of the company.

Lu Yaohua was a big disappointment as a CEO.

When the news came that Elder Lu called all the shareholders for an emergence meeting, every shareholder came to present at the meeting and had planned to raise an agenda in the meeting to change the CEO of the company. Otherwise, Lu Corporation would definitely be shut down.

Of course, Lu Yaohua got this information from his insiders which made him have a sleepless night.

Things would have been different if Elder Lu had given his shares to Lu Xuolen instead of Lu Lan.

If Lu Xuolen would become CEO then Lu Yaohua would be at ease. After all, Lu Xuolen had grown up in front of him while Lu Lan…

Worst of all, Si Li married Lu Lan. How could he? Where Lu Family was hoping that Si Li would marry Lu Xuolen.

In fact, Elder Si always mentioned that Si Li would marry the granddaughter of Elder Lu.

But he did not expected that granddaughter would be Lu Lan instead of Lu Xuolen.

Of course, Lu Lan would be the next CEO of Lu Corporation which he definitely did not want.

Things were going in a different direction which he did not want. He needed to do something before things got out of his hands.

Lu Yaohua immediately intercom his assistance. "Does Lu Lan reach?"

"Yes, President Lu. She is with Chairman Lu." The assistance replied. 

Lu Yaohua frowned. Lu Lan was with Elder Lu which was not a good thing.

He remembered that Elder Lu also said that he would announce Lu Lan's true identity.

'This is too bad.' Lu Yaohua disgruntled internally.

"Tell her to come and meet me. And make father doesn't know about it, understand?" Lu Yaohua said after a while.

"Yes, President Lu."

….

Inside Elder Lu's office.

"Really? What did the doctor say? You should have told me before then I would have postponed this meeting. You need to take care of yourself now." Elder Lu was ecstatic to hear that he was going to become the grandfather again.

It was a few days before, he was delighted to meet Little Champ, his grandson and now one more grandchild was going to come into his life.

It would be better if the child would be a girl.

Elder Lu could not help but be excited to meet his grandchild.

His eyes brightened up in happiness. The d.e.s.i.r.e to live long crept inside him.

"Don't worry, grandfather. The doctor said the baby is healthy. There is nothing to worry. I just need to eat and rest well." Lu Lan assured him. She was happy to see a smile on his wrinkled old face.

"Yes...yes...you should. By the way, where is Si Li? Why has he not come with you?" Elder Lu asked as he was expecting him, knowing after he would reveal his decision in the meeting, Shu Han-You, and Lu Xuolen would cause trouble for Lu Lan.

Now that Lu Lan was pregnant who would protect her?

Elder Lu would not help but worry about it. Should he change his decision?
