Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 922: Chapter 916: Past Events

”You’re right, and your father was the prodigious genius of the previous generation of the Lu Family.”

Lu Chuan sighed deeply and said, ”It’s just a pity that the way your father handled things back then was too fierce, just like your current methods, adhering to the principle of ’if people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them; if they offend me, I’ll eliminate them completely.’ Or maybe it was femme fatale! Originally, relying on the Lu Family’s status, no one would provoke your father, and even if trouble arose, it wouldn’t have reached this point. But ever since he met your mother, your father...”

Lu Chuan didn’t continue, but a deep look of regret appeared on his face.

Seeing Lu Chuan’s expression, Lu Tianxing knew that the next part was important, and his breathing became somewhat rapid involuntarily. Although he found it hard to believe Lu Chuan’s words, he couldn’t help but be captivated by the story.

”Your mother’s name is Jiang Hongyan. It’s a very ordinary name, but her appearance was extraordinary. She was the most famous female star in China’s entertainment circle at the time, and renowned internationally as well. Back then, almost all the heirs of prominent families in Beijing admired your mother, and your father was no exception. He was also one of her admirers. Originally, following the trajectory of events, with your father’s status, he had no intersection with your mother because the Lu Family didn’t allow your father to marry a female star. But perhaps fate played a trick. In a chance encounter, your father met your mother and saved her life.”

At this point, Lu Chuan gave Lu Tianxing a deep look: ”Since ancient times, beauties love heroes. That ’hero saves the beauty’ moment sparked a relationship between your father and mother. They gradually fell in love, but the Lu Family didn’t approve of the marriage due to the vast difference in their status. One was the genius of the Jiangnan Lu Family, the future Head of the Lu Family, and the other was merely a star. So in a fit of anger, your father remained in Beijing.”

”But since ancient times, beauties have been the cause of calamities. How could those family disciples who once admired your mother swallow this? Moreover, with malicious people fanning the flames, they found one of your mother’s close girlfriends and secretly lured your mother to a hotel. They drugged her drink, intending to... humiliate your mother to vent their anger.”

”Did they succeed?” Lu Tianxing asked anxiously.

”No.”

Lu Chuan shook his head and said, ”Your mother seized the opportunity to secretly call your father, and it was precisely that call that changed everything.”

”What do you mean?”

”Your father’s personality is very similar to yours—enraged for his beloved, just like how you wiped out the Peng and Zhao Families in Xiangjiang to save your wife Bai Zhiqing. After your father arrived and rescued your mother, he also did something he regretted for life.”

”Did he kill those people?” Lu Tianxing seemed to guess something, speaking uncertainly.

”More or less, your father killed the main culprits and spared the rest, but the outcome was as good as death.”

Lu Chuan let out a bitter laugh, recalling in his mind all the information he had gathered about Lu Tianxing. The actions of this father and son pair were almost identical, leaving no room for leniency.

”What do you mean?”

”Ruined, your father crippled the remaining five or six disciples from those families, turning them into eunuchs, and had them publicly displayed outside the hotel. You should know what such actions mean—it was a complete slap in the face to the aristocratic families in Beijing. How could these families swallow their pride?”

”I think he was right; if a man can’t even protect his own woman, he doesn’t deserve to be called a man.”

”Is that so? Perhaps!”

Lu Chuan glanced at Lu Tianxing and continued, ”Your father’s actions directly angered those families. That night, various families sent experts to kill your father, but they underestimated his strength. Everyone they sent was killed, thoroughly wiped out.”

”That night, your father even stormed into an aristocratic family in Beijing and slaughtered all their experts, causing the family to vanish overnight. Yet, it was precisely this event that made your father the enemy of all families in Beijing, with countless families wanting him dead, even sending top experts to assassinate him.”

Lu Tianxing’s expression changed, storming into a family in Beijing and slaying all their experts—how audacious and impressive that was.

”Did he die?”

”No, he didn’t die.”

Lu Chuan laughed bitterly and said, ”Your grandfather intervened. To protect your father, he relinquished the Lu Family’s influence in Beijing and made your father personally seek forgiveness from various families.”

”Did he do it that way?”

”He did. Your father had no choice because, at that time, your mother was already pregnant, and the child was you. The aristocratic families in Beijing threatened that if your father didn’t kneel at their doorsteps to apologize, they might allow him to leave Beijing alive, but they would not let your mother leave alive because they blamed her for everything.”

”So he knelt before all the families to apologize?”

”Indeed, for you and your mother, your father willingly gave up his reputation and knelt before the families to apologize.”

Lu Chuan spoke heavily, ”Do you think your father was a coward?”

”No, quite the opposite, I think he’s a real man.”

Lu Tianxing said firmly, a hint of admiration in his eyes. A man who would give up his honor and willingly apologize for the sake of his woman’s life—who would dare call him a coward?

This is a real man, a man who stands tall. If a man can’t even protect his own family, that’s the real coward.

”Since he already apologized, why did he end up dying?”

Lu Tianxing voiced his greatest doubt.

”Young Master, you’re right.”

Lu Chuan looked at Lu Tianxing and continued, ”After the apology, your father and mother were safe. Since your mother was pregnant, your father didn’t leave Beijing immediately but stayed until you were born. Only then did they plan to leave Beijing. The day before leaving, your father received a mysterious letter asking him to make a trip to Modu.”

”At the time, your father didn’t say much and directly took your mother and you, who were just born, to Modu. However, midway, your father was ambushed. Dozens of top experts surrounded him. To cover your mother’s escape, your father had a trusted aide take her away while he stayed behind to confront the enemies...”
