Chapter 149

For a few days, Lu Lingxis life was very quiet, and Wang Shuxius fear that the Lu family would find Kunnan didnt come to reality. In fact, it was not that Lu Hengchuan didnt want to go past Wang Shuxiu and contact Lu Lingxi directly, but he was held back by the events in Zhongjing.

Three days ago, all the major newspapers in Zhongjing suddenly broke the news that the new drug that Hopewell was preparing to put into production was only semi-finished and didnt meet the standards for the production of new drugs in China. Accompanying this news was the fact that one of Hopewells drug developers had reported Sun Li of the Food and Drug Administration Bureau for taking bribes and approving the new drugs marketing application despite knowing that it wasnt up to standard.

As soon as these two news came out, the entire Zhongjing was in an uproar. Before Hopewell had time to react and start crisis public relations, Sun Li had been suspended for investigation, and the Lu family, which had a deep relationship with Sun Li in the past, entered the public eye. Compared with Hopwells new drug, which had not yet been listed, the Lu familys origin was health products and drugs. Who knows how many of these drugs launched by the Lu family were like Hopewells new drug and had obtained pharmaceutical qualifications that should not have been obtained.

All kinds of suspicions were brewing in private. The first person who jumped out to say that they had used the Lu familys drugs without any useful effect was followed by the second, the third Some of these people were arranged by Yan Yue, some were the result of the Ye familys revenge and some came from other pharmaceutical companies fishing in the muddy waters, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to screw up the Lu family.

The media, the internet, the newspapers In just three days, the Hopewell incident fermented into a huge storm amidst all kinds of reports, sweeping the three giants, Hopewell, the Food and Drug Administration and the Lu family and pushing all three to the brink of trust bankruptcy.

Now that the Lu familys reputation has been tarnished, someone must take responsibility for this.

In the Lu family mansion, Lu Chengwen, the eldest son of Lu Hengchuan, looked at Lu Weian, who was standing aside, with a knife-like gaze and an obvious intent. If it wasnt for Lu Weians involvement with the Yin familys girl, the Lu family wouldnt be in the situation it was in.

After Lu Chengwens words, several other people in the hall nodded. They all understood Lu Chengwens meaning, which was clearly to take advantage of Lu Weian.

Speaking of which, no one in the Lu family actually liked Lu Weian. In the past, it was fine; they saw Lu Weian as a sick and miserable person. Although the familys confinement of Lu Lingxi was a bit unkind, there was no way to distinguish between right and wrong in such matters, so they couldnt put the blame on Lu Weians head. But once Lu Lingxi died last year, they no longer saw Lu Weian in the same light. This, coupled with the fact that Lu Weian was jumping up and down trying to get involved in the Lu familys business, made the rest of the Lu family even more discontented. If it wasnt for the fact that Lu Weian had hooked up with Hopewell, they would have joined forces to squeeze Lu Weian out long ago, having guessed what the old man had in mind. Now that something had gone wrong, someone had to take the blame, and Lu Weian was the best candidate to do so.

The eyes of the people in the hall focused on him, and Lu Weian, who was in the centre of attention, smiled coldly in his heart, but his face wore the expression of self-blame. Although he was the one to pull the strings for the new drug, the entire Lu family was optimistic about the future of the new drug and wanted a piece of the pie. Now, as soon as something happened, they were in a hurry to clear themselves of responsibility. He didnt believe that those present couldnt see that someone was deliberately targeting the Lu family this time, otherwise the public opinion wouldnt have been focused on the Lu family in the incident caused by Hopewell. Lu Weian gave Lu Hengchuan a covert glance, more concerned about his grandfathers reaction than his uncles anger. But to his disappointment, his grandfathers eyes were downcast and expressionless, and Lu Weian couldnt guess what was on his mind.

Weian, what do you say? Seeing that Lu Weian was silent, Lu Chengwen asked him plainly.

Lu Weian gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, It was my mistake in judgement that affected the familys reputation, I will take the responsibility for this.

Just as he finished speaking, Lu Chengwens eyes lit up and he was about to speak when Lu Hengchuan, who had been silent, coughed, attracting everyones attention. Lu Weian looked over with an expectant expression, and Lu Hengchuan gave Lu Weian with a faint glance and said in an authoritative tone, Since Weian has admitted his mistake, the investigation into the bribery of Hopewell will be handled by Weian. You will take care of the rest and try to suppress the impact of this matter.

By saying this, Lu Hengchuan was obviously ready to give up on Lu Weian. Now regarding the investigation of Sun Lis bribery, the whistleblower said conclusively that it was someone from the Lu family who was involved and there was the relevant evidence in his hands. Although a discerning person might not believe it if the Lu family put the blame on Lu Weian, it was a good enough explanation to the public.

After hearing Lu Hengchuans words, Lu Chengwen quickly agreed. The eyes of the people in the hall fell on Lu Weians face, and Lu Weians fist, hidden in his sleeve, clenched up tightly as he smiled reluctantly at Lu Hengchuan, I understand, Grandfather.

Under the different gazes of the people in the hall, Lu Weian didnt know how he had managed to get out of the Lu family mansion. He glanced back. Obviously, the weather was good today, a rare day with high clouds and no smog, but he felt that the whole Lu family was shrouded in a shadow.

Lu Weian laughed in a low, cold voice. He knew that his eldest uncle and the others didnt like him because they thought he was too cold-blooded and heartless, sacrificing Lu Lingxi for his own life. But was leukaemia something hed chosen to have? If he hadnt been born prematurely, how could he have grown up in poor health and had leukaemia after a cold? He watched others alive and kicking, and he could only lie on the hospital bed. Who knew his pain these years? He was obviously worse than dead, but he had to hold on to survive for the sake of his mothers obsession. Was this also his fault?

Lu Lingxi Lu Weian closed his eyes and expelled the name from his mind. A child who wasnt even born to his mother; even if his body retained the bloodline of the Lu family, when he was alive, no one recognised him as a member of the Lu family. Now that he was dead, all sorts of irrelevant people were jumping out and accusing him, Lu Weian, of being cold-blooded, selfish and lacking affection. It was fucking ridiculous! A bunch of hypocritical villains. Why didnt they appear when Lu Lingxi was alive? Just because Lu Lingxi died and he survived, all the sins were his? Should he live in Lu Lingxis shadow for the rest of his life? Why should he!

Lu Weian opened his eyes and clenched his fists in hatred.

The Lu familys dark tide wasnt known to Lu Lingxi, who was far away in Kunnan. Meanwhile, Wang Shuxiu didnt see Lu Hengchuan for several days in a row, and only after watching the news did she know that something had happened to the Lu family. She vaguely felt strange; how could there be such a coincidence? As soon as Lu Hengchuan got into trouble with her, something happened to the Lu family in Zhongjing?

She told Xiao Feng of her suspicions, Yan Yue didnt do anything, did he?

Xiao Feng wasnt sure either and said, This is such a big deal, it couldnt have been done overnight. Yan Yue has only known about Lu Hengchuan for a few days, so he probably has nothing to do with it. Besides, even if Yan Yue did it, its not a bad thing. Look at all the unethical things the Lu family has done, someone should have dealt with them.

Thats true. Wang Shuxiu said bitterly. She was furious at the thought of Lu Hengchuan coming to her door and saying something about wanting Xiao Xi to acknowledge his ancestors. She couldnt wait for the Lu family to go bankrupt and see what other crazy thing they would come up with.

The two of them talked for a long time, but Wang Shuxiu remembered one more thing, Do you think we should tell Xiao Xi about the Lu family? The Lu family shouldnt be able to care about finding Xiao Xi now, right? In the end, she still didnt want Lu Lingxi to know about this; she thought it would be good if Lu Lingxi didnt know anything like now and was safe.

Its better to tell Xiao Xi. Xiao Feng persuaded, In case the Lu family doesnt give up, its better for Xiao Xi to be psychologically prepared in advance.

Wang Shuxiu sighed, knowing that Xiao Feng had a point; better safe than sorry.
