Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 243 - : Deceiving Lu Ruiming
Chapter 243 -243: Deceiving Lu Ruiming
Gu Pan looked at her father-in-law and Second Uncle and felt warmth in her heart. He was genuinely concerned about Lu Ruisheng at all times. This kind of favoritism was truly blissful.
Lu Ruisheng also understood what the two were trying to express, and he smiled, “With the love of my father and Second Uncle and Second Aunt, I am very contented. I used to worry that I was abandoned, but now I know that’s not the case. Knowing that you all care for me is enough. No one can make everyone like them, I just need those who matter to like me, and besides, I’m old enough to understand everything now. Both Panpan and I have the character to repay both grudges and kindness, so we share your thoughts; you don’t have to worry about anything.”
Lu Jianshe quickly nodded in agreement, “Right, right, right, our Shengsheng sees through everything, rest assured, whenever you need, Second Uncle will be your strong support.”
Lu Ruisheng responded with a smile, “Hmm, I will always be filial to Second Uncle as well.”
Lu Jianshe smiled, eyes crinkling, “That’s wonderful, seeing this child makes my heart happy.”
Lu Jianguo was especially delighted, “My son is just great, just excellent, clear-headed. Have I accumulated several lifetimes of good fortune to have such a wonderful son?”
After finishing those words, he spoke to Lu Jianshe, “You don’t know, ever since we recognized each other, they’ve fed me several pounds heavier.”
Lu Jianshe had no doubts about that, “These two kids eat really well, not to mention the apocalypse, even before the apocalypse, the dishes Panpan cooked were quite elaborate.”
The more the two talked about happy incidents, the more they couldn’t stop.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng sat nearby, drinking tea and listening to their conversation with smiles.
After talking for a while, Lu Jianguo seemed to remember something and said to Lu Jianshe, “Second, this time Shengsheng and Panpan want to go with you to the headquarters to broaden their horizons, and also, there’s an interesting thing, do you want to hear it?”
Lu Jianshe looked at Lu Jianguo, “Brother, how old are you, and you still play these games? Just say it.”
Lu Jianguo sipped his tea, “We think that Lu Ruiming doesn’t resemble Lu Jiancheng or any of the Lu family members, and Zhang Huishu is very resistant to going to the headquarters. You think, if there was no issue, she should be the one most eager to go to the old lady’s side to enjoy blessings, right? Especially since the old lady had expressed hopes that Zhang Huishu remarries well, but she seems afraid to go.”
Lu Jianshe’s eyes widened in shock, and he stood up immediately, “Brother, you’re not saying it’s like what I’m thinking, are you?”
Lu Jianguo said with a smile, “It’s eighty percent likely, but does it matter? Even if Lu Jiancheng is gone, we can’t be completely sure, as long as we plant the seeds of doubt in the old lady’s heart and let them take root and sprout, that’s enough.”
Lu Jianshe nodded repeatedly in agreement, “Exactly, too right, brother, you guys are incredible. I’ve been lurking around the old lady without finding any flaws, and you discovered such a big secret, amazing.”
Lu Jianguo said, “Before, we had reservations, and even feared that the old lady would die, and with her death, we would really have no news about Shengsheng at all. But now that we’ve found Shengsheng, we have no weak points, and it’s time they felt the pain, we can even directly let them perish.”
Lu Jianshe, sitting beside Lu Jianguo, added, “Brother, I will make them pay the price. By the way, tell me in detail, how did you recognize Shengsheng?”
Lu Jianguo recounted all that had happened with Lu Ruiming to Lu Jianshe.
Lu Jianshe was both amused and incredulous, “My big nephew initially planned to compete with you in a challenge?”
Lu Jianguo also laughed, “I was also harmed by that disaster-star Lu Ruiming. If it hadn’t been for him, with Shengsheng having supplies to go directly to the base, I would have met him much earlier.”
Lu Jianshe, holding back laughter, asked, “Brother, how does it feel having your own son collaborate with someone else?”
Gu Pan suddenly thought that her Second Uncle was a bit sinister; he possessed a schadenfreude that neither Lu Jianguo nor Lu Ruisheng had.
Lu Jianguo frowned at his brother, looking helpless, “What now? What do you want? Are you never satisfied?”
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng watched Lu Jianguo and Lu Ruisheng bickering, laughing nonstop themselves. It was great; who would have thought that in the apocalypse, they could still enjoy such warm moments.
They talked until late at night. Lu Jianshe was actually curious about Lu Ruiming and said that once he finished his official duties, he would go and see what Lu Ruiming was really like.
Because of the polar day, they weren’t worried about electricity shortage as it was bright all the time.
They were all staying there tonight since the next day, Lu Jianshe also had to go to the administrative area for work; he wasn’t just hanging around, he had official business.
In the morning, Lu Ruisheng got up early and prepared breakfast.
Once everyone got up, they ate breakfast together. After finishing the meal, Lu Ruisheng drove his father and Second Uncle to work.
Gu Pan also went out. She needed to look around the department store nearby to buy some things. Having guests over meant it was normal to go shopping; no matter how much stuff they had at home, it couldn’t seem inexhaustible—that wouldn’t be scientific.
After buying some food, they drove back home. Lu Jianshe said there was no need for them to pick him up because the time wasn’t certain, and it wasn’t far. They could walk back on their own, and Lu Jianguo even had a bicycle.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng didn’t insist and agreed to their request, agreeing to have dinner together in the evening.
For the first three days of Lu Jianshe’s visit, he was busy with official duties. He came back for dinner every evening, but not at noon, so Gu Pan packed some extra pickles and such for them.

Three days later, Lu Jianshe finally finished his official duties. The army would head to the main base a week later, and Second Uncle would then return.
Of course, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng had decided to go with them.
However, in the upcoming days, they had another task: to coax Lu Ruiming into going to the base with them.
They theorized that even if Lu Ruiming wasn’t his biological son, Zhang Huishu wouldn’t dare tell him; she might even firmly insist that Lu Ruiming was Lu Jiancheng’s biological son since Lu Jiancheng was gone.
So, this matter couldn’t be verified now; better to just make her life miserable. When the time came, they would make the old man despise the old lady, leaving her to die with all her lifelong schemes amounting to nothing. That would be satisfying.
Of course, they had considered just making Lu Ruiming disappear and using the news to hurt the old lady, but they felt that was too lenient because disappointment following hope was more painful.
Now, everyone was prepared for the sacrifice of loved ones, so saying he died might actually be easier to accept.
And by taking Lu Ruiming with them, they could also use him to threaten the old lady into confessing the past events. After using him up, they would tell the old lady that Lu Ruiming was not Lu Jiancheng’s son. By then, the old man would have lost all hope in her, killing three birds with one stone. Afterward, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng planned to hurry back and face the future disasters with Lu Jianguo.
That day, Lu Jianshe finally had no duties. They went in the morning to the apartment building where they saw Zhang Huishu, guarding it. After all, they were just chatting—where didn’t it work?
Before long, they saw Lu Ruiming coming out with a crutch, which he maneuvered quite smoothly; he must have been out frequently during this period.
As Lu Ruiming came over and saw Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, he was startled, “What are you guys planning to do?”
