Chapter 301 – She knew that Lu Shaoyan’s manipulations were inseparable from Zhouzhou in the novel growing up into a person with a twisted character (3)

It was very lively today. Right after entering the front doors, they heard the sound of laughter and joy that encompassed almost the entire spacious courtyard. Everyone was bustling about to prepare New Year’s Eve dinner. There were red lanterns, strings of small firecrackers, and rhyming couplets hung up on the sides of the doorways, making the ancestral home look brand new.

Lu Beichuan and the others followed Butler Lu into the living room. There were many people sitting in the living room. There were old faces and young faces, all of them were unfamiliar to Ye Zhen, except for the old man sitting in the middle. That old man had ample mental vigor.

Lu Beichuan put Zhouzhou down. Holding his son’s hand, he walked over to Old Master Lu.

Without waiting for Lu Beichuan to speak, Old Master Lu looked at the chubby kid next to him and waved at him. His face was full of affection for his great-grandson. “Zhouzhou, come over to Great-Grandpa.”

The room was crowded with people, but Zhouzhou was neither scared nor awkward. As soon as Lu Beichuan let go, he scurried over to Old Master Lu on his little legs. Smiling and revealing a few baby teeth, he said, “Great-Grandpa, Happy New Year. I wish you a prosperous New Year!”

The child’s voice was soft and milky. His enunciation wasn’t that clear either. Most of his face was still wrapped in a scarf and flushed. His big, limpid, misty eyes looked at Old Master Lu. His smile was simple and pure.

Old Master Lu’s heart melted into a puddle. He really loved this great-grandson. He picked him up and held him in his arms. “Our Zhouzhou is so well-behaved. As soon as you came here, you paid Great-Grandpa a New Year greeting. Great-Grandpa can’t be stingy.” He picked up the red envelope that he had prepared for Zhouzhou from the table and offered it to him. “This New Year’s red envelope is from Great-Grandpa. Take it to buy some candy.”

Zhouzhou hesitated and didn’t take it. He glanced at Lu Beichuan and said, “Mom doesn’t allow me to eat candy.”

“Why does she forbid Zhouzhou from eating candy?”

Zhouzhou showed his teeth to Old Master Lu. He looked charmingly naive. “Mom said there’ll be bugs if I eat candy, and they’ll bite my teeth at night. If my teeth hurt, I’ll have to eat medicine! Bitter medicine! Zhouzhou wants to eat candy, not medicine!”

Everyone present was amused by Zhouzhou’s words and laughed.

Old Master Lu couldn’t hold back his smile either. “Let’s not eat candy then. Save this money to buy toys for Zhouzhou.”

Lu Beichuan nodded at Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou finally accepted the red envelope from Old Master Lu. His laughter was loud and clear. “Thank you, Great-Grandpa! Great-Grandpa, are you going to give Dad, Mom, and Grandma, red envelopes too?”

It was only then that Old Master Lu looked at Lu Beichuan and the others.

“Grandpa, Happy New Year.”

Old Master Lu’s smile diminished. His gaze fell on Lu Beichuan, and he nodded in acknowledgement.

Old Master Lu had observed Lu Corporation’s development in the past few years. This development proved that his decision back then was correct; he had chosen the right person to succeed him.

Lu Biechuan and the others sat down. The servants hurriedly brought over tea, pastries, etc. Everyone idly chatted with smiles. It was just exchanging conventional greetings, nothing more.

Sitting on Old Master Lu’s lap, Zhouzhou looked around. He was a bit tired after sitting in the car for over three hours. His eyelids kept drooping down. Suddenly, he saw something and got excited. He kicked his little legs and reached out.

“What’s wrong?”

Zhouzhou’s little hands were scrabbling in the air. His gaze was very eager. “I want… I want to play with lights…”

Everyone followed the direction of Zhouzhou’s hands and saw a person lying on a nearby sofa. That person was half-awake and playing with a white jade ball that was the size of a fist. That ball emitted lights of various colors, attracting Zhouzhou’s attention.

Lu Shaoyan waved at Zhouzhou. “Come here and Uncle will give you this toy.”

Ye Zhen became vigilant, but she wasn’t too worried. Seeing this, she only felt that Lu Shaoyan was finally making his move against Zhouzhou. After all, she knew that Lu Shaoyan’s manipulations were inseparable from Zhouzhou in the novel growing up into a person with a twisted character.

Bah! This b*stard!
