576 Make Oblique Accusations
“What makes you think you have the right to speak here? Go upstairs and read your books!” Lu Guo glared at Lu Shaoyang and scolded, “instead of studying hard, do you want to go to the pany and do nothing like your second uncle? I didn’t raise you to let you be good-for-nothing! If you’re going to bee a useless person, you might as well die!” On the surface, he was scolding Lu Shaoyang, but everyone on the scene knew he was mocking Lu Feng by scolding Lu Shaoyang!
Lu Shaoyang’s expression froze. He stood up uneasily. “I’ll go upstairs to study.” He couldn’t stay there any longer. The environment was too suffocating!
Mrs. Lu’s expression was calm. She even spoke to Lu Shaoyang with concern, “Don’t push yourself. I’ll get the maid to bring you bird’s nest later. Remember to drink it, okay?”
“What’s so hard about studying? Can it be harder than me managing the pany?” Lu Guo continued to mock, “our Lu family doesn’t raise useless people. Tell him to hurry up and learn. How can a useless person have the face to continue living in this world?”
!!
Lu Shaoyang felt even more embarrassed. He could tell that Lu Guo was scolding Lu Feng. Lu Feng, his second uncle, had been a department manager for as long as he could remember. He heard Lu Feng only wasted his time at work. He didn’t care about anything or work and took his salary for nothing. Lu Guo’s words were too harsh. He did not dare to persuade him anymore and could only get up and go upstairs dejectedly.
“Hey, Shaoyang, wait a moment,” He didn’t expect that Lu Feng, the one being scolded, would be so calm. He stopped Lu Shaoyang and smiled, “I heard you’re getting married. Although I’m a little useless as your uncle, I can’t just ignore it, can I? ”
Lu Shaoyang looked at Lu Feng with admiration. He could still laugh in such a situation. He forced a smile and said, “It’s alright, uncle. The wedding hasn’t been held yet. I’ll be happy if you can e and attend the wedding.”
“I’m your uncle. I can’t show no blessings for your marriage,” Lu Feng was still smiling. He took out a red packet and handed it to Lu Shaoyang. “I didn’t get married after the divorce, and I don’t have any children under my name. Although you’re my nephew, you’re no different from a son to me. Here! Please don’t stand on the ceremony. Take it.”
Lu Guo’s expression suddenly changed as soon as Lu Feng finished speaking. His face darkened as he stared at the red packet on the table. After a while, he said coldly, “Lu Feng, what are you doing?”
“I’m a bit tacky, so I don’t know what gift to give. I can only give you money,” Lu Feng’s smile widened as his gaze landed on Lu Guo’s face. He said slowly, “this is a small gift from me as an uncle. I liked Shaoyang the moment I saw him. Brother, you don’t have to be polite with me.” His attitude was thoughtful and warm, and there was no problem. However, as he spoke, Lu Guo and Mrs. Lu’s faces sank as if they had recalled some bad memories.
Lu Shaoyang looked at his parents strangely. He bent down to take the red packet and said, “Thank you, uncle.” Since Lu Feng insisted on giving it to him, he did not mind accepting it. However, as his fingertips touched the red packet, he suddenly heard a loud shout, “You’re not allowed to take it!”
Lu Guo’s face was filled with plicated emotions of anger, fear, and guilt. His expression was like a palette, constantly changing, making it hard for others to see clearly. He looked at Lu Shaoyang and roared, “Don’t touch it. Don’t take this money!”
Lu Shaoyang couldn’t help but look at Lu Guo with a frown. They were not short of money, so they wouldn’t be so calculative over a bit of money. As the saying goes, an elder’s gift should not be rejected. His uncle said it was just a congratulatory gift for his marriage. Why did his father have such a big reaction? It was just a red packet. What could it be?
The red packet looked thin. Lu Shaoyang’s fingertips happened to fall on the protruding part of the red packet. He felt it was a hard thing, like a bank card. It was just a little money. Why did his father not let him accept it?
Mrs. Lu’s face also looked gloomy. She forced a smile and said to Lu Shaoyang, “Shaoyang, you’re already so old. How can you accept your second uncle’s money? Quickly return it to your second uncle.”
Lu Shaoyang felt even weirder.
Lu Feng did not find Lu Guo and Madam Lu’s reactions strange. He even curled the corners of his lips and had a happy expression. It was as if he was an elder who was delighted that his nephew was getting married.
