Chapter 269: 238 Recognition, Brother-in-law (2nd Update)_1

The waiter left two pots of hot water for them to add to their cups at any time before leaving again.

Lu Han poured a cup of white tea for Tang Feng. "Big brother, try this white tea," he said.

"Just leave it there for now. Was my earlier question that difficult to answer?"

"I wouldn’t say a life coach, but I guess our relationship is one where we didn’t get along until we fought. I don’t know what else big brother has heard, but feel free to ask anything today. I won’t hide anything and will tell all I know," Lu Han replied.

"Alright, since you’ve said so, I’ll speak my mind without holding back," Tang Feng declared.

"Feel free," Lu Han encouraged.

"I also heard that you are... an illegitimate child?"

Lu Han’s hand, pouring the tea, paused slightly. He set down the teapot, his expression changing for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "Yes. Does big brother look down on me because of that?"

"Of course not. Whether a child is legitimate or not isn’t the child’s fault; it’s the adults’ fault. I certainly wouldn’t look down on you," Tang Feng replied bluntly.

He thought of Tang Su telling him not long ago that even if Lu Han committed a crime, she would still love him. She even asked if she was crazy.

Tang Su loved him so much and spoke so definitively that he knew she took her relationship with him and their feelings for each other very seriously.

Since Tang Su was so serious, he felt that Lu Han should also show some sincerity.

"However, if you lie and deceive, not only will I look down on you, but no matter how much my sister likes you, I will stop you two from being together," Tang Feng warned.

"Big brother is overthinking it. I won’t lie to Tang Su in this lifetime," Lu Han replied.

"That’s good to hear. Whose illegitimate child are you then?" Tang Feng decided not to beat around the bush.

He had many questions he hadn’t asked during that night they were alone at Lu Han’s place. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to ask, but rather that he didn’t know where to start.

Now, with a lead, and seeing that Lu Han didn’t seem to be avoiding the question, he went ahead and asked.

"My parents are married; I am not an illegitimate child now," Lu Han said after sipping a small cup of tea.

"Then, do you carry your father’s surname?"

"Yes, my mother also carried the Lu surname before, so many people mistakenly believed I took my mother’s surname."

"Why didn’t you explain?" Tang Feng was curious.

"Why should I explain? What are they to me? Are they important?" Lu Han chuckled softly.

To people who weren’t important, why did he owe them an explanation about his life?

"..." Tang Feng gasped.

He had thought Lu Han didn’t explain because he was embarrassed or thought his origins were shameful. But it turned out that Lu Han simply didn’t care what others thought.

How could someone like this be as unworthy as Ye Sichen had said?

"I will explain to you, big brother, because that’s what I owe you. Tang Su is the most important and the only woman in my life. Whether you believe it or not, that’s the truth," Lu Han said earnestly.

"You..."

"Big brother, my father’s name is Lu Maoyan. If you’ve attended a military academy, you should have heard his name. Even if you entered the army directly, you probably know of his record," Lu Han disclosed.

"..."

Lu Maoyan?

Is that the Lu Maoyan who is my idol?

But Lu Maoyan is so old; how could he possibly be Lu Han’s father?

"My mother is Bai Wei, previously known as Lu Wei. I was in my teens when my mother returned to my grandfather’s home and changed her surname from Lu to Bai."

"No, Lu Maoyan? Your dad is the ’War God’?" Tang Feng looked at Lu Han in sheer disbelief.

"It was my grandfather who was the ’War God,’ right?" Lu Han had seen his grandfather for the last time when his mother took him back to Beijing. Just that once, his father had fought desperately to keep his mother.

The men of the Lu Family through the generations were all resolute and iron-willed.

But even such a family is not as perfect as outsiders think, for there are no perfect people in this world, just like some who can’t let go of his father’s mistakes.

"Your grandfather is Lu Chen? He was, and so was your dad. I mean the esteemed commander," Tang Feng said with great respect for Lu Maoyan.

"He has been out of the system for many years now, big brother doesn’t need to use the old title."

"But he is still our commander in our hearts," Tang Feng insisted stubbornly.

A great man is always remembered fondly, even after he leaves. How much more so when he is still alive?

"Big brother, I’ve always wanted to prepare a first meeting gift for you, but couldn’t find one I was satisfied with. This time when I went back home, I found a pen that my grandfather used to carry with him. I want to give it to you."

Tang Feng: "..."

He seriously suspected that Lu Han was playing a trick, using a sugar-coated bullet to breach his defenses and completely capture him.

As expected of the descendant of the two generations of War Gods, he never joined the army, but he employs strategy too well.

Inside Tang Feng’s heart, two little people were fighting fiercely.

The pen of the War God! Not to mention a pen of the War God, any personal item would be an extremely precious treasure to those little soldiers in the troops.

And Lu Han is actually giving away such a treasure from the Lu Family so casually?

If it were him, he definitely wouldn’t be willing to part with it.

"Big brother, don’t mind that it’s an old model; it still works, I’ve tested it," Lu Han said as he saw Tang Feng in a daze and unwilling to accept it, worried that he might think the pen was broken.

In fact, it wasn’t broken; it could write. Even if it couldn’t, he would feel too embarrassed to give it to his future brother-in-law.

"This is very precious, Lu Han, this pen is priceless," Tang Feng reminded him.

"I know, but being expensive isn’t necessarily what will satisfy you, big brother," Lu Han said sincerely.

Facing Lu Han’s clear and fearless eyes, Tang Feng’s tone softened considerably, "What are you planning to do, Lu Han?"

Lu Han bringing such a valuable gift as a first meeting gift must have a request for him.

He can’t just accept the gift easily. What if he can’t fulfill the request?

"I really don’t have any ulterior motives, just wanted to ask for your opinion. I’m thinking, after your family portrait is done, to pick a day to bring Tang Su back home to meet the parents. I wonder if that would be okay?"

Tang Feng’s purpose for coming out to speak with Lu Han was exactly that. He hadn’t mentioned it yet, and Lu Han had already brought it up proactively.

The more he gets to know Lu Han, the more he impresses him.

"Lu Han, why on earth didn’t you join the military?"

"My parents couldn’t bear to let me go," said Lu Han, rather helplessly.

At that time, he was young and thought he was the only child by his mother’s side. He thought his mother was already pitiful enough by herself; he couldn’t leave her to spend her days worrying.

Selfishness exists in everyone.

He was no exception.

"That’s true," Tang Feng touched the pen in Lu Han’s hand, "Actually, my intention for coming here to see you alone today was to discuss bringing Tang Su back to meet the family. Tang Su was going to come too, but I told her not to."

Otherwise, it would have been even harder for him to bring up the subject.

"In that case, our thoughts coincide, big brother. Thank you for your approval. This pen would be wasted on me; to me, it’s just a pen, but clearly, it’s more than just a pen to you."

"Lu Han, are you really willing to give me this pen?"

"Yes," Lu Han nodded with certainty.

"Then, have you arranged your backup plan for the incident with Ye Sichen?" Tang Feng was practical; acknowledging Lu Han as his brother-in-law meant it was natural for him to be concerned.

"Don’t worry, big brother. There’s no need for you to worry about me."

"In that case, thank you." Tang Feng carefully tucked the pen into the inner pocket of the coat beside him, "I want to get a case for it. Could you accompany me to look for one?"

"Sure."
