Chapter 263: Chapter 255: Hidden Danger

"That’s true,"

Lu Yun thought about her own space, and that it had such a situation inside, with only low-intelligence Plant Clan members, and the largest building being a lonely grand palace. Such a place, no matter how beautiful the scenery, had a deep sense of loneliness. It was alright to stay there occasionally, but living there for a long time was truly not necessary.

"Humans are social animals, and it’s such a waste of resources for a single family to monopolize an entire planet," Xia Yuan laughed again.

"Mom, you know what, the higher the level of civilization in the universe, the less often a big family owns a whole planet..." Lu Yun searched her brain for information, then looked at the two of them with a cheeky smile.

"I knew it, how could that be possible," Xia Yuan said with an I-knew-it-all-along look.

"Because a family that only owns one planet is not considered a big family in the eyes of my predecessor. They are too weak. A real big family controls at least five or six, or even more than a dozen planets," she said.

As soon as Lu Yun finished speaking, Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan’s smiles froze on their faces, their mouths hanging open in shock.

"Impossible," Lu Aiguo’s voice was a bit hoarse, while Xia Yuan swallowed, feeling suddenly very dry in the throat.

"However, it’s incomparable. Such families generally have thousands or tens of thousands of years of inheritance and development, many even have histories that are older than their own countries or alliances. Those are the real noble families, with enough heritage and strength to stand tall no matter who is in charge," Lu Yun nodded seriously.

She felt it was better to let her parents know about these things in advance. Times were different, and people must change accordingly. How important it was to have broad horizons and knowledge. If her parents remained in the mindset of ’content with little riches,’ they would certainly be unable to keep up with the future changes in the situation.

The law of the jungle is survival of the fittest, but where in human society is it not evident?

"Mom and Dad, have you ever thought about the future?" Lu Yun suddenly asked while they were still recovering from their shock.

"The future? Of course, we have. But now I think if one day we can develop the Lu Group like that, it would be pretty good," Lu Aiguo fantasized about his family owning a planet one day and said contentedly, "We shouldn’t be too greedy; having a planet for vacations would be nice too."

"Your heart is really big, needing a whole planet just for vacation?" Xia Yuan teased him, but couldn’t help longing for it too.

"Mom and Dad, I’m talking about serious matters, and we don’t have much time left. Shitou and the others will be arriving soon. Can you please be serious?" Lu Yun said, frustrated.

"Ah, what serious matter do you have? Why not wait until Shitou arrives next time, when we have more free time to discuss? It seems you’re not going to leave so soon. We have plenty of time," Lu Aiguo said with a smile.

"Right," Xia Yuan looked at Lu Yun somewhat skeptically.

"But there are some things I only want to say to you two," Lu Yun said earnestly.

"Go ahead, we’re listening," Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan, seeing their daughter’s serious expression, quickly put on a serious face and pretended to be all ears.

But their pretense was too deliberate, making it seem more like they were trying to amuse her, showing no real concern.

Lu Yun sighed. The things that needed to be said had to be said, so she spoke gravely, "Dad, Mom, before Shitou reclaimed his relatives, his surname was also Lu. So, Shitou and I held half of the Lu Group’s shares, and you both believed in equality between sons and daughters. Moreover, the development of the Lu Group owes more to my efforts, so in fact, it pretty much means that most of the Lu Group will actually belong to Shitou and me in the end, right?"

"That’s right, without you where would the Lu Group be? It will naturally be yours in the future," Lu Aiguo said as a matter of course.

"I never raised any objections before because I thought that one couldn’t write the Lu character twice in a row. After all, whether the Lu Group belongs to me or to my brother doesn’t make a difference, we should work together to develop the Lu Group. At worst, we can select the successor from among our children in the future; whoever is most suitable will inherit..."

Lu Yun looked seriously at Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan, deciding to take advantage of this rare opportunity when the three of them were alone to clarify things between them.

"But I’ve suddenly realized how naive I’d been before. Especially after Shitou was acknowledged by the Pei Family, I’ve come to see that there could be major hidden dangers in our future arrangement."

"Hidden dangers, what hidden dangers?" Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan exchanged glances, asking in surprise.

"I was thinking too ideally before. I felt that since both my brother and I, as well as Shitou, carry the surname Lu, our children will too, so the Lu Group would always be part of the Lu Family."

Lu Yun explained, "But at that time I hadn’t realized that even if we all share the surname Lu, even if my brother and I didn’t care about the Lu Group, what about after my brother gets married and has children? Will his children still feel as inseparable from mine?"

Similarly, even if Shitou and I were indifferent to the Lu Group, what about my future children?

Even if everyone carries the surname Lu, what then? In reality, we would be two separate families. Could that ’Lu’ still be the same? It’s not just between siblings; isn’t it the same with cousins? Dad, have you ever thought about leaving your wealth not to your brother but directly to your cousin? Even if you have, did you ask Mom if she was willing?"

"...The fact that the Lu Group is yours is something your mother and I can guarantee will never change. In the future, Jinsheng’s children will not compete with those of you and Shitou. You are siblings, not like cousins," Lu Aiguo paused for a moment before reassuring her.

"Mom and Dad, I’m not afraid of them fighting with me for it. Rather, I want you to understand that, in the future..."

Lu Yun suddenly stopped, unsure how to continue. The plans she’d held in her heart were unknown to her parents, and, looking back, she found them a little too wishful.

After thinking for a bit, she decided to take a different approach, "Mom, Dad, let me put it this way, I will marry into the Pei Family in the future. When I have my own children, the family they will be developing won’t be the Lu Family, right?"

"Right." Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan nodded. Wasn’t that obvious?

"Then, if a large portion of the Lu Group belongs to me, it will eventually be passed to my children, who will bear the name Pei. What about the Lu Family, then? What will happen to the Lu Family in the future?" Lu Yun asked them both.

"..."

Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan were taken aback for a moment, and Lu Aiguo said, "Doesn’t Jinsheng still own a portion of the Lu Group shares? A boy can completely rely on his own efforts to succeed."

This had always been the couple’s thought.

"Yes, just the small portion that my brother holds, when my children bear the name Pei, they will hardly be keen on the idea of the Lu Group still being called the Lu Group," Lu Yun curled her lips in disdain.

"Does it matter what it’s called?" Lu Aiguo’s face twitched, unwilling to admit that hearing this made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Xia Yuan glanced at him, understanding him well enough to know he had started to feel uneasy. Moreover, at this moment, she had a vague idea of what Lu Yun was about to say next. Deep down, she let out a sigh, starting to wonder if she really hadn’t thought things through properly before.
