Chapter 171: Lu Zhiyuan’s Grievance

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Ze nodded, watching his son lounging with his legs crossed, playing on his phone. He didn’t know what his son was smiling at on his phone, with a look of being immersed in a passionate romance. Lu Ze shook his head and said, “Lu Zhiyuan, do you want to race cars for your whole life?”

Lu Zhiyuan looked up at Lu Ze, set his phone down, and Lu Ze continued, “You’re already twenty years old. After the new year, you’ll be twenty-one. While the lifespan of a race car driver is long, there’s still a peak age. You can’t always stand at the pinnacle on the racetrack. Have you considered retiring?” “Dad, I’m only twenty. How can 1 retire before reaching my peak? At twenty, I’m still in my rising period, not at my peak yet.”

“I’m not telling you to retire this year. There should be a time, maybe at twenty-five? Thirty? You have a family business to inherit. Can you keep risking your life on the racetrack forever?”

“No one has died in Fl for ten years. It’s quite safe,” Lu Zhiyuan reclined lazily, “I love racing.”

This topic always led to arguments. Lu Ze suppressed his anger and tried a different approach, “You still don’t want to manage the Lu Corporation?” “Global Group is handled by professional managers, and it’s running well.” “Nonsense!” Lu Ze exclaimed, “It’s clearly you who’s managing it. It’s you who doesn’t like racing!”

Lu Zhiyuan’s expression grew serious. Among the first to know about his split personality was Lu Ze. Lu Ze knew everything about him, even more than others did. But Lu Zhiyuan disliked it when others mentioned ‘Third Master’. Even Li Jiang, who usually spoke freely about everything, hardly mentioned Third Master unless it was absolutely necessary. Lu Ze knew this sensitive area and never dared to bring it up.

Lu Zhiyuan sneered, “In your eyes, my racing is neglecting my responsibilities. I’m now a world champion, bringing honor to the country. In your eyes, it’s still not fulfilling my duty. In your eyes, only a son who inherits the family business is a good son, right?”

Every time Gu Ci was in danger, it was Third Master who stepped in and saved her from peril.

In his father’s eyes, the ideal son was also Third Master. He was merely a racing driver who neglected his responsibilities.

They both thought Third Master was more important!

“It’s fine if 1 disappear, right? You only need one son, right?” Lu Zhiyuan’s eyes were filled with resentment. “You wish I would vanish, so your favored son can inherit the family business, right?”

“Don’t misinterpret my words!” Lu Ze was also furious, the situation had escalated, “You are the same person. If you like racing, then race. It doesn’t conflict with inheriting the family business. Since you’re not handling it anyway, let him manage it.”

Lu Zhiyuan’s face darkened completely, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.

His father didn’t need a racing driver son. He wanted a son who understood finance, management, and could handle a multinational corporation. He didn’t want a son who only understood racing.

Gu Ci also needed Third Master. What could he do for Gu Ci? Accompany her to watch movies, wait in line for milk tea, play the violin for her – all things Third Master could do. What use was he?

No one needed him!

He covered his head in agony, feeling like his brain was about to explode. “Zhiyuan, what’s wrong with you?” Lu Ze just touched his shoulder when Lu Zhiyuan brushed his hand away and said sharply, “Don’t touch me!”

His head was splitting with pain, and the surging anger was overwhelming his mind. Lu Zhiyuan loathed the other soul within his body.

Why did he have to share his body with someone else?

“Let’s not talk about this anymore, okay? Don’t be angry,” Lu Ze hurriedly tried to soothe him. “Zhiyuan, calm down. Let’s pretend 1 never brought this up, alright?”

With red eyes, he asked Lu Ze, “You only think about having him inherit the family business because he’s the son you desire – perfect in everyway. And what about me? I’m just a rebellious, surplus existence. If you don’t mention it, should 1 pretend this never happened? You’ve never considered my wish to recover, and you’ve never cared. After 1 turned eight, I’ve hardly seen the moon and stars. I’m a complete person, yet 1 only have half the time others have. Why? Why should I live for your family business? Why should 1 let him live?” “Zhiyuan…” Lu Ze looked at his distraught son with heartache. Lu Zhiyuan pointed at his head and said, “He knows everything. He even knows how to race. He must be watching me like a joke. You all wish 1 would disappear, leaving only him to live. You’re all the same, all the same! You won’t get your way!”

He stormed out angrily but stopped midway. Third Master regained consciousness from a dizzy spell. His steps faltered, and he leaned against the wall. A strange pain surged through his nerves – a sensation he had never experienced before. Lu Zhiyuan’s emotions and perceptions extended to his waking moments, something he encountered for the first time. Seeing the time, Lu Ze rushed over and helped him sit down.

“Zhiyuan, are you alright?”

Third Master waved his hand and took a deep breath, adjusting his emotions. Lu Ze poured him a glass of water. Lu Zhiyuan looked at Lu Ze with great displeasure. “You knew he doesn’t like me, so why bring it up?”

“My health is deteriorating, and I need rest. I wasn’t thinking of finding someone to manage the Lu Corporation,” Lu Ze hadn’t expected such a strong reaction from Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Ze and Lu Zhiyuan had a friendly father-son relationship, they would tease each other and even get physical, but Lu Ze felt a bit apprehensive about Third Master. This son of his, he was a bit afraid of him.

“I understand.” Third Master said calmly, “You can go back. I’ll take a look at the corporation’s documents.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“I’m fine!”

Lu Ze left with deep concern. He also regretted bringing up Third Master. Lu Zhiyuan was genuinely misunderstood. Honestly, a son who was flamboyant and a world champion, bringing honor to the country was a matter of pride. While Lu Ze claimed he wasn’t focused on his son’s racing, he didn’t hesitate to boast about how impressive his son was. One was lively, and the other, barely speaking a few words a day. People had their preferences. Lu Ze preferred his vivacious son, but bringing up Third Master set Lu Zhiyuan off.

“I’m truly misunderstood!”

Li Jiang looked at the defeated chairman and thought to himself. This was misdirected anger. Third Young Master had been through some stress recently due to Miss Gu Ci. Just as things seemed to be improving a bit, Lu Ze had triggered him again.

It’s so unfortunate!

After calming his emotions, Lu Zhiyuan called Li Jiang in. “Why did people from the Chen family come over? What does Ji Chi want?”

“Personal grudges,” Li Jiang wasn’t entirely sure, “He’s got someone locked up on a ship in international waters.”

“Tell him not to go too far. Wait for Chen Rushi to handle it.” “Understood!”

Lu Zhiyuan rubbed his forehead. It had been a series of troubles lately, one wave after another. He only had time at night, and he couldn’t help feeling a bit frustrated. “Prepare the documents for the Lu Corporation for me.” “Understood!”

Li Jiang left to delegate the work.

Holding his phone, Lu Zhiyuan initially intended to contact Ji Chi, but he inadvertently saw Gu Ci’s and Gu Ziyu’s posts in his private feed. With one behind the other, his emotions from when they took a photo together resurfaced, so he averted his gaze..
