Chapter 376: Chapter 374: Lu Family Recognizes Relatives 11_1

Sir Lu’s eyes bulged once again, clearly unable to accept this reality.

After a while, Lu Fan saw his grandfather looking up pitifully, cautiously confirming, "Fan, is there really not even a sliver of hope between you and Miss Xia?"

Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders. Although he did not want to crush the ailing old man, he still had to tell the truth, "No."

Sir Lu immediately felt a tremendous pain in his heart, as if he had been stabbed with a knife.

"Not even a tiny bit!" Afraid that Sir Lu was not convinced, Lu Fan added another sentence.

He was a true gentleman, after all, and had no interest in stealing another man’s girl.

Sir Lu’s heart felt as if it had been stabbed once again, and at that moment, he had the urge to strangle his grandson.

Clutching his chest in agony, he wailed, "Am I really never going to see Miss Xia become a part of our family in my lifetime?"

What to do, my heart hurts so much!

"Grandfather, don’t be too sad. Some things just can’t be forced, you should try to let go," Lu Fan advised indifferently.

"Shut your mouth, you useless brat!" Initially, Sir Lu had been calm, but Lu Fan’s words enraged him, and he glared at him fiercely.

Lu Fan made a zipping gesture across his mouth and fell silent.

Aunt Lu couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful, "Miss Xia is indeed a very good girl; it’s just a pity that our Lu Family is not fortunate enough to have her step through our doors..."

Lu Lao’er was very skilled at currying favor and hurriedly said to his father, "Dad, although Fan can’t make it, my son might be able to outshine Miss Xia’s boyfriend!"

He had suddenly thought of a great plan. If Xia Ningxing took a liking to his son, then she might cooperate with him and decide to give up treating Sir Lu, all for a chance to inherit the Lu Family’s assets sooner.

With such a large sum of money at stake, he did not believe Xia Ningxing could resist the temptation!

Hearing this, Lu Fan couldn’t help but snort, adjusting the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

He, a returnee from overseas, could not compete with Lu Tingli, let alone Lu Lao’er’s ignorant and incompetent son?

He truly admired his uncle’s audacity!

If had to use a trendy phrase to describe it, it would be—Impressive, my uncle!

Lu Lao’er, noticing his sarcastic demeanor, couldn’t help but glare, "What’s with that expression, Lu Fan? Is your cousin really that terrible?"

"Second Uncle, you said it yourself. I’ve never bad-mouthed my cousin," Lu Fan said with an innocent face, his eyes smiling slyly like a fox.

Just as Lu Lao’er was about to say something else, Sir Lu raised his hand and spoke first:

"Enough, no more fighting. Since Miss Xia’s boyfriend is so outstanding, we should no longer interfere in their relationship."

In fact, this statement was a tacit admission that Lu Lao’er’s son really was incompetent—so much so that Sir Lu was embarrassed to present him to Ningxing.

Everyone present was shrewd, with some discreetly covering their mouths to hide a smile.

Lu Lao’er’s schemes came to nothing, and as his son was scorned, his face turned alternately green and white. In his heart, he cursed Sir Lu thoroughly.

This damned old man!

He must prevent his recovery!

And Xia Ningxing’s hand must be crippled!

Lu Lao’er insisted on harming Xia Ningxing instead of directly killing the old man because the Lu Family’s power and background were too significant. If the old man were murdered, it would certainly cause an uproar, and Lu Lao’er would be at a great risk of exposure.

But Xia Ningxing was different. Not to mention he hadn’t planned on taking her life, the most important thing was that she had no significant background, just a merchant’s daughter, hardly anything notable.

Just as Lu Lao’er was preparing to hire someone to harm Xia Ningxing again, Lu Yuan opened his mouth to speak once more.

"Grandfather, you might not know this, but Miss Xia’s boyfriend bears some resemblance to you in his features."

Old Mr. Lu was sipping his soup and looked up slightly surprised, "Really?"

"Yes!" Lu Fan nodded affirmatively.

Without much thought, Old Mr. Lu chuckled, "Miss Xia really does have good taste then. To resemble me, the man must surely be handsome and imposing, like a fine tree against the wind, gentle yet distinguished, unparalleled in this world..."

Originally, Sir Lu was not pleased that Xia Ningxing could not become his daughter-in-law, but now, hearing that Lu Tingli bore some resemblance to him, he didn’t know why, but he felt exceptionally happy!

As for other aspects, Sir Lu didn’t think too much about it, after all, his own son had already been found.

Lu Fan’s mouth twitched involuntarily at these words: Isn’t this just indirectly praising himself? Shameless! Does he even care about face anymore?

But when Lu Lao’er heard that Lu Tingli bore a resemblance to the old man, his heart instantly skipped a beat, and it leaped to his throat.

Wasn’t he all too aware that he was just an impostor? How could he not be nervous on hearing such things?

Lu Lao’er’s anxious and frantic appearance did not escape the eyes of Lu Fan. His gaze sharpened, "Uncle Jianren, what’s wrong with you, breaking out into a cold sweat?"

The man who had become the ace agent in the book certainly had a keen eye.

"Could it be that you’ve done something to feel guilty about?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, testing the waters.

Honestly, before seeing Lu Tingli, he had no suspicion about Lu Lao’er’s identity, but after seeing Lu Tingli, he always felt that something was off!!

With that statement, all the members of the Lu Family turned their gaze toward him simultaneously.

Lu Lao’er feigned composure, "What nonsense are you spouting? What guilty deed could I possibly do? I’m merely suffering from a headache due to the recent sharp drop in temperature."

"Jianren, you need to take good care of your health and not joke around with your body," Sir Lu quickly advised with concern, his eyes and brows filled with affection.

Having lost a son for so many years and only just found him, how could he not be extra caring?

Suppressing his feelings of guilt, Lu Lao’er nodded and continued to curry favor, "Don’t worry, father, I will take care of myself. You should stop worrying about me and take good care of yourself instead."

After exchanging a few more hypocritical pleasantries, Lu Lao’er hurriedly left the hospital.

After leaving the hospital, Lu Lao’er immediately sought out a specialized organization to investigate Lu Tingli and verify his identity.

He was truly afraid that the real Lu Lao’er would appear!

So he had to check!

The next morning, he received a message.

Lu Tingli was indeed Old Mr. Lu’s biological grandson, and his father, Lu Dahai, was the Lu Lao’er who went missing years ago.

The reason they could confirm the identity so quickly was that they had stolen hospital records and found traces of a paternity test.

Moreover, the quick confirmation had another reason: the fake Lu Lao’er had a specific target, just needing a quick confirmation, unlike Mr. Lu who was searching for a needle in a haystack for his relative. Finding them would have been surprising.
