Chapter 172 - Then I have to work hard now in order to leave behind a bigger inheritance for you to squander in the future (1)
Of course, Lu Beichuan could understand this principle .
Not only was he the Lu's successor, he was also Lin Mei's son, Ye Zhen's husband, and their son's father . They needed him, so there was no room for him to back down .
The atmosphere in the study immediately tensed up . The pressure made it difficult to breath .
Old Master Lu loosened and tightened his grip on his cane . One could tell how furious he was from his sinking expression and the protruding veins on the back of his hands .
In contrast, Lin Zhan seemed like a bystander . He sat there expressionlessly, not showing how he felt about Old Master Lu mentioning that he could recognize his ancestors .
Lu Shaoyan had changed from his idle persona that he had shown earlier in the day . Acting more befitting to his status as an elder, he admonished Lu Beichuan and told him to not disobey Old Master Lu .
Mrs . Lu looked worried . She truly didn't want there to be any conflict between Lu Beichuan and Old Master Lu . Just as she was about to stand up and say a few words to persuade them, Ye Zhen grasped her hands and quietly shook her head towards her .
Ye Zhen was Lu Beichuan's wife . She naturally stood on Lu Beichuan's side and agreed with his position . He wasn't wrong . He couldn't agree to something like this . At the front, there was Lu Shaoyan . At the back, there was Lin Zhan . It didn't matter what role Lin Zhan played in the novel, in the context of the Lu's, he was Lu Beichuan's enemy . In addition, Lu Shaoyan had been the one to bring about this incident . There was no way that his intentions could be good . If they allowed a wolf into their home, life would become impossibly difficult .
Mrs . Lu didn't understand why Ye Zhen had stopped her . She questiongly looked at her, but Ye Zhen only gave her a “be patient” look .

Old Master Lu said in a sunken voice, "Everyone out except Beichuan!"
This matter had to be privately discussed .
Ye Zhen supported Mrs . Lu by the arm as they got up and left . Lu Shaoyan and Lin Zhan followed them in leaving the study .
The door to the study closed, only Lu Beichuan and Old Master Lu were left .
Lu Beichuan understood Old Master Lu's character . This was the grandfather who had watched him grow up and imparted his values . Old Master Lu also understood his grandson's disposition . Under the previous situation, there was no way that either side would back down first .
Now that there were only the two of them left in the room, Old Master Lu's words softened . "You won't agree . Why?"

"I've already said my reason, grandpa . "
"That's only one of the reasons! You were raised by grandpa . Do you think grandpa can't tell what you're thinking?"
Lu Beichuan said in no uncertain terms, "Since you already know, why are you asking me?"
"You're making grandpa very angry . Are you not worried that I'll go look for a lawyer to change my will and leave my shares of Lu Corporation to someone else?"
"Grandpa, how you want to use and distribute your assets is your business . It's up to you . I don't have the right to interfere . Even if you don't leave me a single penny, that's perfectly fine . So why should I be worried?" He said these words lightly as if he truly didn't care about the assets mentioned by Old Master Lu .
Lu Beichuan didn't need to inherit Old Master Lu's assets to be successful .

In his opinion, connections and ability were the most important factors in determining victory or failure .
If there was enough money and assets to support his ambitions, that would be the icing on the cake . But if there wasn't, it wouldn't be a disaster for him .
There was nothing that couldn't be lost . The only things that belonged to yourself for a lifetime and couldn't betray you were your natural talents and ambitions .
The easiest thing to lose was money and worldly possessions, but the easiest thing to gain was also money and worldly possessions .
"Grandpa, if it's necessary, I can help you find a lawyer to deal with issues over your will . It's also your right to recognize any grandchild that you want . You didn't have to ask me about that at all . But since you asked, I expressed my position on it . In this matter, you won't hear the answer you want from me," Lu Beichuan answered decisively . His attitude was firm and unchangeable .
Originally, if his grandfather had wanted to recognize another grandson, he didn't need to ask his opinion at all . But since he asked, he should have been able to guess the outcome that he would get .
