Chapter 406

After Professor Lei finished speaking, he sighed deeply, then shook his head and said, "It's a pity."

There was silence in the VIP room.

"Teacher, the appointment with Mr. Liang is coming soon." The man in his 30s walked up to Professor Lei and said in a low voice.

Professor Lei let out an apology, and said apologetically, "I talked about some old things, but... Well, if I have time, I will treat Mr. Lu to lunch."

"I should invite you." Lu Li leaned forward slightly and said respectfully.

"Oh, I'm the landlord, please! I've already booked a seat!" Mr. Li laughed, and then asked Professor Lei, "Is it Liang Qinian?"

Professor Lei shook his head with a smile and said: "No, no, it's not Mr. Liang from your place, but a Mr. Liang from mainland China. He does machinery, but he also does some research on history. It turns out that I was a visiting professor at Peking University. At that time, he came to listen to my class, and this time he happened to be in Xiangcheng, so we made an appointment to meet up."

"Ah, that Mr. Liang!" Mr. Li said clearly: "That is a powerful person. I heard that his company occupies more than half of the construction machinery market in the mainland!"

"If you have time, let's meet up together?" Professor Lei said with a smile.

Mr. Li had joy on his face, but turned to look at Lu Li again.

"Xiao Gu and I will take a look by ourselves." Lu Li smiled gently and politely: "This kind of exhibition opportunity is rare, let's walk around by ourselves, you don't need to worry about us."

"Well, let's meet at the entrance at twelve o'clock." Mr. Li looked at his watch and said to Lu Li.

Lu Li nodded and stood up.

I followed him and stood up.

After we signaled to Professor Lei again and again, we walked out of the VIP room.

After walking out the door, Lu Li stopped and let out a sigh of relief.

I stood beside him and let out a sigh of relief.

Then we both looked at each other subconsciously.

After we just looked at each other for a few seconds, the corners of Lu Li's lips curled up, and he bent his arms.

I took his hand and moved my body closer to him.

Lu Li picked up his steps and walked slowly and steadily towards the main hall of the exhibition.

I followed his footsteps, with the same smile on my face, but Grandma Dong's smile appeared in my mind.

"I never knew there was such a great-uncle in my family." After walking a few steps, Lu Li said softly.

I was slightly taken aback, and turned to look at him.

"The surname Lu has been passed down for a long time, but my Lu family is not a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it has nothing to do with the descendants of Lu You and Lu Xiufu who they now call. The first generation of the Lu family was originally a tenant At that time, his boss had a prodigal son, and he followed the prodigal son. After ten years of following, half of the boss's property belonged to him, and the prodigal son also died. The daughter married the tenant with the remaining half of the property." Lu Li looked at the front and said in a calm voice.

I took a light breath, looked forward, looked at the exhibition hall that was getting closer, looked at the direction of the exhibition hall where the sun was getting brighter and brighter, and whispered: "What happened later?"

"Later, when the tenant had money, he bought a large area of ​​mulberry forest, then built weaving and spinning, and expanded his business to several big cities." Lu Li said in a very calm voice: "It only took ten years. So he multiplied the original owner's property by five times, and then he married several concubines on the grounds that the owner's daughter had only given birth to one son."

I was startled, and blurted out, "Did you give birth to Lu Rundong?"

Lu Li shook his head lightly and said, "Lu Rundong is his grandson."

I took a breath and didn't ask any more questions.

"One of those concubines also gave birth to a son. When the son grew up, he wanted to rob the owner's daughter's son of the family property. He also colluded with a local warlord at the time. Even his own father, the tenant, was killed." Lu Li continued calmly: "The daughter of the boss's family took charge of the house, drove away those concubine's heavy ponds, let her son marry another warlord's daughter, killed the concubine's son, and then The whole family moved south to Jiangnan. At that time, Shencheng was in a period of turmoil. The daughter of the owner took the opportunity to buy a lot of land and real estate at a low price, and then opened silk cotton workshops in Shencheng and Suzhou to mobilize raw materials from various places in the south of the Yangtze River. She supplied goods to those big textile factories, and her son, my great-grandfather, worked behind the Song family, and in this way, he accumulated tens of thousands of fortunes."

Lu Li's voice paused, and then he said with some sarcasm: "The master is a Jinshi in the late Qing Dynasty, and the daughter of the master has been studying since childhood, and she can be regarded as a lady of a scholarly family. The prodigal son learned it, so he respects the educated people very much, and he also hopes that his children will become educated people when they study. Of course, this is a saying handed down by the Lu family now. Who knew that at that time..."

Lu Li's voice paused again, and then said: "At that time, the son of the daughter of the host family was only in a private school, but the son of the concubine had stayed in school."

I pursed my lips and didn't speak.

Lu Li didn't think about my answer either. After a pause, he said sneeringly: "No matter what the truth is, maybe it's because of this kind of background that generations of the Lu family are very keen on culture. Not to mention his reputation in this area, if that Lu Rundong didn't seek death on his own, after going to Europe with the Lu family, he would definitely be able to get rid of his aunt's identity and achieve a career of his own."

My heart skipped a beat, I looked sideways at him unconsciously, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think so?"

Lu Li also turned to look at me.

A warm and soft smile appeared on his face, and then he said in a very soft voice: "If it was before, I would think so, but now..."

His voice stopped, and I unconsciously asked softly, "So what now?"

The corners of Lu Li's eyes were slightly raised. He didn't speak, but just stretched out his hand and gently gathered the broken hair that was falling from my ears behind my ears.

Well, my crew cut hasn't grown long enough to be tied up in months, so it's a bit of a hassle.

I blushed a little, and I fixed the broken hair on the other cheek by myself, and turned my head a little embarrassed.

Then, two people entered my line of sight.

The two stood at the entrance of the exhibition hall. The woman was chatting excitedly with the guard at the door, while the man looked around boredly.

Then, he saw me too.

Subconsciously, I pulled Lu Li to another passage.

Lu Li looked at me in surprise, walked in my direction, and glanced at the entrance of the exhibition hall.

When he looked over, the woman was shouting loudly: "I told you, my surname is Liang, and I am Mr. Liang's niece! I am related to Mr. Liang! If you have the courage to block me, you must have the courage to take responsibility!"
