Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: The Downfall of the Lu Family

"Why did you come straight to the hospital to find our son instead of returning to the company first? Do you know the driver said you dashed to the hospital like you were possessed, it scared me to death! If something happens to you and Chi, how am I supposed to live?" Mrs. Lu hit Mr. Lu with her handbag, tears streaming down like an unstoppable faucet. But Mr. Lu, like a wooden puppet, remained unresponsive, enduring her blows.

"Mom, stop it. Dad seems off." Lu Chi noticed the abnormal expression on Mr. Lu’s face and felt a shiver of fear. Mrs. Lu also ceased her actions, anxiously looking at Mr. Lu and said in a trembling voice, "Husband, don’t scare me. What’s wrong with you?"

"The Lu Corporation can’t be saved." Mr. Lu stared blankly into Mrs. Lu’s eyes and mumbled, "It can’t be saved."

"How... how could this happen?" Mrs. Lu was also stunned upon hearing the news, "What did Jiahe say? Is there no room for negotiation at all?"

"Do you know who did all this?"

"Wasn’t it Xu Jie?" Mrs. Lu asked instinctively. Wasn’t Xu Jie in charge according to Jiahe?

Looking at his long-time wife, Mr. Lu laughed again, a laugh tinged with madness, resembling that of a lunatic, "It’s Xu Ke! Who would have thought the infamous good-for-nothing in Luocheng would push us to this point? Your son fancied Lin Mengyao, drugged her, and was caught red-handed by Xu Ke. The two even got into a fight! How can you expect anyone to spare our Lu Corporation after this? How could they!" Mr. Lu cried and laughed hysterically as he shouted.

"Dad, what are you saying? I don’t understand. Are you saying Xu Ke is the mastermind who ruined our family? That’s impossible! He’s just a worthless fool. How could he possibly do this? Dad, you must be mistaken. Anyone else could have done it. Why him? If he were really so capable, how did he end up being a househusband in the Lin Family, doing their bidding?" Lu Chi clearly didn’t believe his father’s words and argued loudly.

"Chi is right. Husband, you must be mistaken. Maybe it’s someone with the same name. Why don’t we go to Jiahe one more time? This time I will accompany you. Let’s go together and plead with Xu Jie to spare us." Mrs. Lu clutched Mr. Lu’s arm and said anxiously.

he was helpless. The backbone that had propped up the Lu Family for decades was finally bending with every new blow today. Seeing Mrs. Lu, who still wished to deceive herself by dragging him to plead with others, Mr. Lu, for the first time, removed her hands from himself, "Stop struggling. It’s futile. Because of the things Chi did, Xu Ke will never forgive us. If he doesn’t forgive us, Jiahe will never let us go. Accept it." After uttering these last three words, Mr. Lu seemed to age decades in an instant, his figure imbued with the twilight of

Mom, the Lu Corporation went bankrupt. The company got acquired by Jiahe. And look at this, Lu Chi was kicked out of a private hospital because he couldn’t afford it, and his injuries haven’t healed yet." Lin Mengchen looked at the trending topic content, feeling as if she had eaten
