Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Qualification for Inheritance

"I know what you’re up to, you’re just trying to act all good and loving in front of Grandpa to gain favors from him. How shameless can you be? Using me to get benefits from Grandpa on one hand, while wishing I was dead on the other. Tsk tsk tsk, aren’t you tired?" Lu Ang raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically.

"I am your elder, is this how you talk to your elders? Did your teachers abroad teach you this way? Where did your manners and politeness go?" Lu Ying was trembling slightly with anger at Lu Ang’s attitude, and at that moment, she shed her previous facade, looking at Lu Ang with obvious disgust.

"I won’t argue with you here, making a scene for others to laugh at. How you think of me is none of my business, but you’d better not embarrass our Lu Family." Ever since Lu Ang was acknowledged back, Lu Ying hadn’t liked him, and now they tore off the mask in front of Xu Ke. Lu Ying decisively gave up her previous attitude of kindness and walked past Lu Ang, leaving him with just an elegant silhouette.

"Huh, an old hag, let’s see how arrogant you’ll be once I inherit the Lu Family." Lu Ang muttered softly, then shifted his gaze back to Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao.

"Alright, with that nuisance gone, we can finally settle this. You’re quite good at hiding, after offending me you just disappeared like a mouse. If it weren’t for my grandpa’s birthday banquet, I wouldn’t have found you. You’re something else." Lu Ang stepped forward.

For some reason, although he was someone who had returned from abroad and received high-class education, his every word and action was that of a thug, completely out of place in the setting of this banquet.

"I’ve never been hiding. It’s simply that you lack the skills to find me." Xu Ke adjusted his new glasses and said in a calm, unwavering tone.

Hearing this, Lu Ang’s face immediately soured.

"What do you mean, are you mocking me? Do you know whose family’s banquet you’re attending today, whose territory you’re standing on? You look down on me, but who gives you the right, as a nobody?" Lu Ang shouted aggressively.

The little thugs following Lu Ang saw Xu Ke’s eyes, whose emotions were hidden behind the lens reflection, and felt so intimidated that their legs started to cramp, standing frozen in place, looking absurdly comical.

"I don’t know where you found the courage to say such a thing to me. No matter how useless I may be, I can still be the master of our Xu Family, but you..." Xu Ke didn’t finish his sentence, instead casting a mocking and disdainful glance at Lu Ang, provoking his anger with that look.

They originally had no deep enmity, but Lu Ang hated Xu Ke whenever he saw his face, a kind of loathing that felt like it sprouted from deep within. This animosity even surpassed his dislike for Lu Ying. Therefore, as Xu Ke gazed at him with such eyes, the explosive anger in Lu Ang’s heart detonated. The intoxicating flattery and pampering from others in recent days had made him lose the caution and stability he initially had upon recognition.

Now his mind was fixated on one thing: to crush this person beneath him in front of everyone and snatch away the woman in his arms whom he had set his eyes on before.

"What’s there to brag about, claiming you can be the master when all you can decide on is your home decor style, can you really make decisions in the internal affairs of Xu Group? Or do you just call it ’being in charge’ when you sit there waiting for everyone to vote and only announce the results afterward?" Lu Ang taunted Xu Ke loudly enough for those around to hear.

"If your concept of being in charge is like that, then I truly can’t do it. After all, I’m meant to inherit the Lu Family, unlike a puppet like you, I’m a genuine heir in every sense." Lu Ang emphasized the word "inherit" heavily, wearing a wicked grin, eager to see Xu Ke’s reaction.

"It’s better not to speak too soon about things. Who can predict the future?" Xu Ke took a glass of champagne from a waiter’s tray, eyeing Lu Ang with a subtle sympathy, which made Lu Ang uneasy.

"What do you mean by that, why do you look at me like that?" For some reason, Lu Ang wasn’t afraid of Xu Ke’s cold gaze, nor scared by the danger reflected in his eyes. In fact, seeing someone with such a look excited him and made him want to knock the opponent down.

But at this moment, seeing a trace of sympathy in Xu Ke’s eyes made him feel anxious for the first time, causing his feet to take a slight step back involuntarily.

"Nothing special, just marveling at how far you still have to go to achieve what you want, unsure if you’ll succeed." Xu Ke took a light sip from his glass with indifference.

"Hmph, did you get drunk from drinking alcohol? I don’t have that long a way to go. My father died in a car accident, so he’s unable to bring more descendants to the Lu Family. With me as the only grandson, and my aunt married and no longer part of our family, her children have no claim. Therefore, my grandfather only has me as an option. Besides, my grandfather is already eighty this year, an old man with one foot in the grave, he doesn’t have much time left. My inheritance of the Lu Family is just a matter of a year or two. Do you think a couple of years is a long time?" Lu Ang spread his arms, his eyes slightly red as he spoke.

Feeling a bit hot and thirsty, Lu Ang unraveled his tie and unbuttoned his collar, turning his carefully styled look into a mess. Then he grabbed the iced water on the table and gulped it down, feeling relieved. He looked at Xu Ke triumphantly.

"What, are you jealous of me after hearing what I said?" Lu Ang laughed foolishly.

Just as Lu Ang was about to dive into another impassioned speech, someone tugged at the hem of his clothes from behind, "Boss." It was one of his henchmen’s voices.

"Stop tugging, can’t you see I’m talking here, keep your hands to yourself." Lu Ang impatiently batted away the hand that kept pulling at his clothes.

The few henchmen with Lu Ang were almost in tears. In fact, their eyes had already started to redden, looking at the elderly yet robust Mr. Lu on the other side, who was staring at them with his sharp, old eyes, and then back at their boss who kept talking to Xu Ke incessantly. Their hearts were utterly crushed.

They hadn’t expected to be so unlucky, offending two big shots in a row by following Lu Ang.
