The Crippled Bigshot's Little Ancestor Is Too Cool

Chapter 76: Lobbying

Even though he didn’t want to admit it, Lu Qingzhuo was a little hurt that he had been rejected so bluntly.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely be very happy to hear that their child becoming the adopted son of the Lu family.

After all, they were the Lu family!

As one of the top families in China, they had a huge amount of power, allowing their children to enjoy the best resources and education. When they reached adulthood, they could even enter the Lu family. Even if they only received 1% of the shares, it was enough for their children to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

But He Youran rejected him so straightforwardly.

So straightforwardly that it was as if the Lu family was not worth mentioning in her eyes.

She did not hesitate. Not only did she reject the Lu family, she also rejected him as a person. This made Lu Qingzhuo suddenly feel that the ambiguous feelings that they had spent the past few days together seemed to be his own wishful thinking.

Lu Qingzhuo lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.

A sense of dejection and depression enveloped him. He didn’t know how to continue the topic.

When He Youran saw him like this, her conscience, which she had kicked to the corner, hurt a little.

Was she not giving Lu Qingzhuo any face?

In the eyes of outsiders, the Lu family was perhaps the second largest family in China. But, those who knew the ins and outs of it all knew that the Lu family was not as good as before since Lu Qingzhuo’s accident five years ago. If she rejected him like this, wouldn’t it give Lu Qingzhuo a feeling that she was eager to cut ties with him?

He Youran twisted her fingers uneasily. Just as she was about to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, Lu Qingzhuo spoke again.

“Miss He, actually, I have my reasons for wanting to take him in as my adopted son.”

Lu Qingzhuo took a deep breath and suppressed the inexplicable feeling in his heart, trying to convince He Youran from other aspects.

“What happened between you and me… That’s the rumor, has already spread everywhere. Whether it’s true or false, it will have an impact on us. Shouxin is still young. You don’t want a child to be subjected to rumors, do you? So, I intend to confirm the rumor. Of course…” he paused for a moment, he continued, “I admit that taking Shouxin as my adopted son is something I’ve been thinking about for a long time. You also know that I am impotent. Even if I can stand up, the Lu family will still face the problem of having no successor. You can understand it as I’m using you. But, other than you, I have no one else I can trust.”

His confession made He Youran feel a little awkward.

Businessmen valued profits, so she naturally understood that Lu Qingzhuo’s proposal wasn’t a spur of the moment.

But, she couldn’t bear to involve He Shouxin in an adult’s fight like this.

She could only blame herself for thinking too little back then and making that damn decision.

“Miss He, I sincerely request that you agree to my proposal. I promise that I will protect the safety of you and your son,” Lu Qingzhuo said sincerely.

In contrast to He Youran, he did not think that the lies that He Youran told Gu Zimu back then caused him any trouble.

This matter had simply developed according to his and his grandmother’s wishes.

If it was possible, he would still want to make things right and treat He Shouxin as his own son.

He Youran was actually a little shaken.

Since the matter had spread, she and He Shouxin could not continue to remain on their own. It was better to agree to Lu Qingzhuo’s request.

On one hand, while she continued to look for He shouxin’s biological father, Lu Qingzhuo could help take care of He Shouxin when she was too busy. On the other hand, with the Lu family’s influence, they might even be able to provide her with some help.

The Lu family’s influence spread throughout China. Compared to her friends who were all overseas, it was indeed much more convenient.
