575 Spare Some Respect
“It’s good that you’ve thought it through, Shaoyang,” Looking at Lu Shaoyang’s thin figure, Mrs. Lu’s heart ached. But when she heard his answer, she was delighted. “You’ve been smart since you were young. You’re the only son we have. The Lu family will be yours in the future. We don’t expect you to be great. If you can take on your responsibilities, we will be at ease.”

We might be able to advance further.” At the thought of the current situation, Lu Guo said in a jubilant tone, “While I’m still capable, I can lead the company to another peak and reduce the burden on Shaoyang.” Men were all ambitious. The Lu family did not own a big company in S City, and they were not even ranked among the top. Through the marriage with the Su family, Lu Guo gained a lot of benefits beyond his expectations. It was as if he was blessed that the company’s stock price soared. Lu Guo was extremely happy that things were going smoothly.
Lu Shaoyang showed some rejection. He moved his lips with a defeated face, but he didn’t say anything. At this moment, Lu Feng came to visit, “Oh, big brother and sister-in-law, are you around too?” He smiled, holding an unlit cigar in his hand. “Shaoyang is also here! What was going on? Why did you lose so much weight?”
When Lu Guo saw Lu Feng, a hint of loathing gushed out from his eyes. He would never forget the days when Lu Feng was above him. He had planned carefully and given a fatal blow to Lu Feng at the critical moment. Otherwise, Lu Feng would have been the one leading the Lu family now. For the past few years, Lu Feng could only be a manager in a small department. So what if Lu Feng was talented? So what if Lu Feng was highly regarded by his father? In the end, Lu Feng lost and became a useless piece of trash.
However, for some reason, Lu Feng who had been leading a decadent life, suddenly had a fighting spirit again. It was as if he had suddenly regained his energy. He changed his previous image and put on a proper suit again. He combed his hair neatly and looked very energetic. Lu Feng was different from Lu Guo. Lu Guo hadn’t cared much about his appearance and had a big belly now. Meanwhile, Lu Feng was thin, but he was tall and strong. He still looked great at his age with the charm of a mature man. His cloudy eyes suddenly became brightened up. His bright smile looked very unpleasant and annoying.
Lu Guo’s face darkened as he chided, “Look at you, you’re always so frivolous! You don’t look like a Lu family member at all. You don’t even do your job well! You’re the shame of the Lu family!”
“Big brother, Shaoyang is here, can you stop scolding me?” Lu Feng had an unconcerned smile on his face. He glanced at Lu Shaoyang and then sat down on the sofa. He said with a smile, “I’m Shaoyang’s uncle, so please spare me some respect in front of the child.”

You’re already in your forties, yet you’re wasting your time. You’re so shameless. Why should anyone respect you?”
Lu Guo enjoyed this moment very much. He was now above Lu Feng who was once a proud son of heaven. He could hit and scold Lu Feng as he pleased. This feeling was simply fascinating.
Lu Feng chuckled. Learn to improve? If he started improving himself, Lu Guo would probably panic. Lu Guo had worked so hard to get to this position. How could he stand being threatened?
“I’ve been living like this for so many years. I’m already used to it. I can’t change it.” Lu Feng’s face was a little uncouth as he lazily leaned on the sofa. He took out a lighter and made a gesture.
“If you want to smoke, go outside.” Seeing Lu Feng’s actions, Lu Guo berated, “Do you think you’re a good? How is it appropriate to smoke at someone’s house without consent? If father was still alive, he would be so angry to see you!” Their father should see what kind of trash the heir he had once chosen was!
Lu Guo’s words were too much. Lu Shaoyang could not bear to listen. He wondered why was his father so mean to his second uncle. Every time they met, Lu Guo would scold him. Lu Feng was an elder after all. He shouldn’t be scolded in front of a junior. “Dad, second uncle didn’t do anything,” Lu Shaoyang couldn’t help but interrupt, ” We’re a family. Stop scolding him. “
