Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 417 - 430: A Secret Conversation

Since Su Xingyu "died," Lu Shifeng hasn’t married anyone else, so how could he agree to divorce now?

"Grandfather, in this life, I only acknowledge Xingyu as my wife. I will never divorce her."

Even if she truly had an affair, what does it matter? It was first my fault. If we really trace it back, it was that night when I was drunk that I ended up with Zhuang Heng and had Jue. Over half a year later, Xingyu only had Han with Ouyang Yi.

I broke her heart and still expect her to be unwaveringly loyal?

Lu Shifeng is a very rational person, rational enough to fully acknowledge even his own mistakes.

He hurt her once, she hurt him once, each has a child, fair and reasonable.

If others knew his thoughts, they might find it absurd. But in Lu Shifeng’s mind, many emotional problems, in his view, can be easily solved like mathematical problems. As for the Lu Family’s reputation? He doesn’t care.

But Mr. Lu can’t help but care and almost roars at him sternly: "From a young age, I had high hopes for you, nurtured you as the heir of the Lu Family! Lu Shifeng, don’t forget your name carries the word ’Feng’! The ’Blade’ of Blade Group! You were born for the mission of the Lu Family; your sole goal in life is to sacrifice everything for the Lu Family! I don’t care about love or feelings, all your personal emotions must give way to the Lu Family! That’s what an ideal Lu Family heir should embody!"

Lu Shifeng, with eyes like a frozen deep lake, looked at him and said, word by word, "Grandfather, indeed, I was born to bear this responsibility for the Lu Family. I have received the Lu Family’s support and never thought of escaping this responsibility. But can a mere woman cause the Lu Family to lose face? Ridiculous! That only shows the Lu Family isn’t strong enough."

"You!" Mr. Lu was infuriated.

Lu Shifeng said, "People might ridicule someone or an organization that’s not strong enough. But when you’re strong enough that no one can match you, everything you do is right. In this world, only lack of strength is the truly embarrassing thing, nothing else is. I will lead the Lu Family to a more glorious peak than ever before, crushing everything with strength, and as for my personal life, you’d better meddle less."

Decisive and firm.

No room for negotiation.

Mr. Lu glared at him angrily, realizing that this grandson was no longer under control. Four years ago, when he stubbornly married a common girl, Mr. Lu thought it was just youthful rebellion. But this conversation in the study four years later told him this was no rebellion but a deeply considered decision made by a man long beyond control, following his own will.

Mr. Lu didn’t know whether he should feel gratified or ready to collapse.

He stared at this grandson whose face resembled his younger self, like an aging lion glaring at the new king of the pride.

Many years ago, he actually had already handed over the major powers of Blade Group to Lu Shifeng, having retreated backstage, holding only the title of chairman. Yet, in his mind, he always regarded Lu Shifeng as a junior needing more training and guidance, never seeing this grandson as a true leader, a king who could rival his own presence.

But at this moment, it was different.

Mr. Lu suddenly realized deeply that this grandson had become a true king.

Without even noticing.

He can take charge himself, opposing any authority trying to control him, with eyes young and calm, displaying poise, wisdom, determination, and... strength.

Strength impossible to ignore.

Mr. Lu sighed in defeat, feeling acutely that he was old.

He waved his hand, no longer entangled in the topic with his grandson, perhaps realizing that a new king has the right to decide everything himself.

A new era had begun.

And perhaps it appeared so quickly because of that woman — Su Xingyu.

That, indeed, is destiny.

In the study, Mr. Lu watched his grandson’s departing figure, thinking such.

Mr. Lu’s complex thoughts, Lu Shifeng was unaware of.

At present, Lu Shifeng stood in front of Su Xingyu and said to her, "I’ve already spoken with grandfather, grandmother, and my mother, no matter what, they cannot have outbursts in front of the children. If they can’t manage this, then they will never meet Jue, not even once. Even if I have healthy children in the future, they won’t see them even once."

Su Xingyu was shaken, never expected him to be so determined.

"Did they believe you?"

"They very well know I’m serious." Lu Shifeng said.

From small to now, he was true to his word, never breaking a promise. Perhaps the only promise he failed to fulfill was to take good care of her, to protect her.

But other than that, his credibility was almost terrifyingly perfect.

Terrifyingly, just such a simple threat was enough to scare his whole family, including Mr. Lu, into silence.

Mr. Lu agreed to his demands.

The grandmother naturally also agreed, as her notion of family honor was far less ingrained than Mr. Lu’s, merely wanting the younger generation to seek happiness. And Su Xingyu, this girl, she always cherished.

Even Du Shuxian, who initially made a huge fuss, found no reason to continue when seeing Mr. Lu and the grandmother agreed, reluctantly consenting in distress.

So now, Lu Shifeng could say to Su Xingyu, "Xingyu, rest assured, no one will show Han a bad face."

Su Xingyu agonized over it for a long time, eventually nodding, agreeing to let the Lu family’s elders join the party. Fundamentally, she still hoped Han could meet other blood relatives, even if they couldn’t be recognized, she hoped the child could interact more with relatives, not be too lonely.

She told Han the news in the hospital room.

Wearing a patient’s gown, Han joyfully clapped his little hands: "Great, great, will I meet Mr. Lu’s mom and grandpa and grandma? Han is very curious."

This child is naturally drawn to excitement. But this time, unexpectedly, after clapping, he hesitated: "Mom... are Mr. Lu’s family members as fierce as Mr. Lu?" After all, Lu Shifeng was usually stern and expressionless unless intentionally being pleasant. Even Han’s naturally outgoing personality found this uncle not very gentle or warm.

Su Xingyu was amused and exasperated.

Still, she comforted the child: "Mr. Lu’s grandpa... well, a bit fierce, so when Han sees him, greet him politely and don’t bother him. Grandma is very kind and will like Han for sure. As for Mr. Lu’s mom..." Su Xingyu thought for a moment; since Du Shuxian never quite knew boundaries, she said, "Mr. Lu’s mom, Han should not provoke either. Just greet her and keep a distance."
