The genius villain's mother is going crazy in the kid's variety show by relying on food

Chapter 316: Grandparents and Grandchildren
Lu Shixu pushed the door and got out of the car.

Everyone along the way looked at him with awe and fear.

However, a day ago, their attitude was not like this.

No matter how famous and powerful Lu Shixu was, in front of his grandfather, he was just a successor, not someone who completely controlled the power of the Lu family.

As old people who depended on Mr. Lu, it was naturally impossible for them to fawn on their future master. At most, they were polite and friendly, not daring to offend him. In their bones, they still had the pride of watching Lu Shixu grow up.

Who would have thought that in just one day, their attitude would change completely.

They saw the fall of the old lion king in the house and the rise of the new lion king.

And his future and destiny almost all depend on the new lion king.

No wonder they fawn over the landing schedule.

However, Lu Shixu didn't buy it.

When he was young, he didn't care about the fear and avoidance looks these people gave him.

Now, there is even less need for their submission and fear.

Lu Shixu stepped into the hall.

The lobby of the Lu family's old house is simple and elegant, with mahogany everywhere. It is deep and majestic, and is a typical Ming Dynasty furniture style.

When the lights are on, this old house looks solemn, majestic, magnificent and beautiful.

But now, the lights in the house are dim, and the hunched old man is huddled in a chair, exuding a rotten smell...

This scene seemed like a scene from a Chinese horror movie, which was creepy to watch.

But Lu Shixu didn't care at all.

He walked straight over and sat down opposite the old man.

Then he took the tea set on the table, poured water, brewed and served tea, a series of actions as smooth as flowing water.

But in the end, he poured out only one cup of tea, not two.

The old man raised his eyes, looked at Lu Shixu drinking by himself, and smiled sarcastically:
"You're not acting at all."

Lu Shixu looked calm:
"I've always been like this."

The old man sneered.

Lu Shixu remained calm:
"Do you think that my forces retreated before because they were afraid of you? Because they were in awe of you?"

The slightly raised tone of his voice expressed his contempt and ridicule.

Ever since Lu Shixu entered Lu's group and made a stunning debut, his power within the group has grown rapidly.

His grandfather, the old man in front of him, Lu Wenzong, was satisfied with the performance of his heir, but at the same time he was worried that Lu Shixu would grow too fast and pose a threat to himself.

Lu Wenzong was young and arrogant, and he devoted his entire life to his family and career. Although he needed an excellent successor, he was more afraid of losing his support and having to live at the mercy of others.

He could allow Lu Shixu to be excellent, but he could not allow his excellence to exceed his control.

So he suppressed Lu Shixu and even sent him to be responsible for an unpopular project, where he stayed in Yanda for a full two years.

The result is that in the past two years, I have caused endless troubles...

Lu Wenzong suddenly looked at Lu Shixu:
"So, you went to so much trouble to drive my people out of the group just to vent your anger on that woman surnamed Nan? I can't believe that my Lu family actually produced such an infatuated person!"

Lu Wenzong's tone was full of sarcasm.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shixu was not ashamed of it:
"Thank you for the compliment." His tone was light, but it did not hinder the genuine joy between his eyebrows.

It seemed as if Lu Wenzong said something praising him.

Lu Wenzong: ...

He was so angry that he shouted on the spot:
"Are you crazy? Do you know how important an excellent mistress is to a family? You need a wife who can help you socialize and give you support, not a cook who only knows how to cook all day long!"

After cursing, Lu Wenzong's tone softened again, and he advised earnestly:
"Shixu, you are still young and don't understand how important it is to have a wife who can support you and walk side by side with you. Do you think 'equally matched' is just a joke? This is a bloody reality, a truth proven by countless people! How long have you known her? How earth-shattering can your love be? How many tests can it withstand? Wake up, you can't go on after all, grandpa is doing this for your own good."

As he spoke, Lu Wenzong burst into tears.

It seemed as if his words were so heartfelt and sincere.

However, Lu Shixu had seen through Lu Wenzong's true nature long ago.

He just glanced at Lu Wenzong lightly:
"For my own good? That's what you said when you sent me to the mountain temple to practice asceticism when I was six years old."

Lu Wenzong's expression froze slightly.

Lu Shixu returned to the Lu family when he was 6 years old.

Lu Wenzong didn’t know he had such a grandson until he was 6 years old.

At that time, his son and daughter-in-law died one after another. Lu Wenzong had no interest in the illegitimate children outside. He only loved his only child Lu Wenzhou. Naturally, his hopes for the entire Lu family could only be placed on Lu Wenzhou's only bloodline.

However, Lu Wenzong discovered that Lu Shixu, his grandson, was a monster.

He can neither cry nor laugh, and his eyes seem to be able to see through people. Every time he opens his mouth, he makes people humiliated.

He doesn't even have empathy, doesn't feel anything about his parents' death.

Some people suspect that Lu Shixu has an antisocial personality.

But Lu Wenzong did not dare to make the matter public, and he did not even dare to ask a psychologist to make a judgment on the matter.

It’s not that he was afraid of tarnishing the Lu family’s reputation, but he was afraid that Lu Shixu would tarnish Lu Wenzhou’s reputation and let the world know that his proud and outstanding child Lu Wenzhou had a mentally ill son.

Finally, Lu Wenzong decided to send Lu Shixu to a Taoist priest he knew.

It was a remote mountain temple. Lu Wenzong did not tell the Taoist priest Lu Shixu's identity, so the entire Taoist temple naturally would not treat him well.

Lu Shixu, who was nearly 6 years old, suffered beatings and cold stares in the Taoist temple. He had to fetch water every morning and was beaten if he failed to do the morning lessons. Corporal punishment and hunger were commonplace.

At that time, Lu Wenzong actually vaguely knew that Lu Shixu must have suffered some hardships.

But he felt that a little bit of hardship might be able to change Lu Shixu's character, get him back on track, and cure that damn mental illness.

Later, as he wished, Lu Shixu did change.

It's like a wild beast that has learned the rules of human society. It no longer rushes forward recklessly, but learns to hide its edge, sow discord, and finally reap the benefits.

Lu Shixu stayed in that Taoist temple until he was 7 years old.

When Lu Wenzong went to pick him up, he realized how horribly Lu Shixu had suffered.

He was furious and wanted to settle accounts with those who bullied Lu Shixu.

Then he discovered that the leaders were either dead or disabled, and the rest didn't even dare to look at Lu Shixu.

Lu Shixu did not commit any crime; he simply seized their weaknesses and took advantage of the situation, leading them onto the path of division and targeting each other.

Someone died just because someone lost in an argument. What does it have to do with him?
