In the summer time, it rains a lot.

Whenever dusk falls, there will always be a rain that is too late and that is fast, accompanied by summer thunderstorms, which will wash the entire Fengtian City with a new look.

This prosperous city that rose in the middle of the south has completely become the leading city in the south after decades of rapid changes.

And the four big families that control the hundreds of millions of assets in Fengtian City have risen to become the label characters of Fengtian City, such as the old gentleman of the Lu family, Lu Zhen.

In the past 50 years, the mall has gone through hundreds of twists and turns, during which it has experienced the great turmoil of the Lu family almost falling apart and the family falling in the middle, and in the end, the Lu family is still unhindered and grows stronger and stronger.

Lu Zhen thinks that this life has been full of ups and downs, a wonderful life, and no regrets.

Sometimes he is quite proud to imagine that with his Lu Zhen's courage and teaching to the descendants of his family, even if one day the fallen leaves turn to dust, according to the current flourishing foundation of the Lu family, it can still continue the glory of the previous life and the two generations without wind and waves.

As for the future, he couldn't see clearly......

After all, the gentleman's Ze was beheaded in the fifth generation, and whether the Lu family would still be as brilliant as before after three generations was no longer a question that he, an old guy, needed to consider.

However, recently, he was a little dazed, even frightened.

Since Lu Jianyun provoked the young man surnamed Ning, Lu Zhen has felt more and more panicked, perhaps because he is old and has no courage, and when he encounters a little turmoil, he thinks that the Lu family is about to face a catastrophe.

Especially in those few days, Ning Chen, Bai Qi, came uninvited, and after visiting the Lu family, this old man, who had been brilliant for half his life, felt afraid for the first time.

In the next few days, he used all the channels that could be used to try to catch the line of the Ning family, so as to find out what Ning Chen's identity was.

But in the end, it didn't work out.

It's not that it can't be found, but it's deliberately blocked.

The Lu family is indeed a high-ranking family in Fengtian City, but compared to those royal families who are enough to dominate the world, they are like lonely boats and giant ships, those people at those levels, if they don't want you to know any news about them, you will never get it.

Therefore, Lu Zhen couldn't dig up even the slightest bit of useful information from Ning Chen, and decided how to deal with this young man who suddenly appeared in the future.

In the end, he could only force the Lu family to compromise and seek perfection, and would rather lose face than provoke easily.

Although this decision made the Lu family complain and be unwilling, at least it could allow the Lu family to continue to live a peaceful life.

This is a plan he has had since the beginning.

Unfortunately, once again, the plan could not keep up with the changes.

His body is getting worse and worse, sometimes he will be confused, sometimes he will be comatose for a long time, and sometimes he will vomit black blood and cough incessantly.

It is hard to imagine that Lu Zhen, who was still energetic a month ago, became a candle in the wind in the blink of an eye, dying and struggling.

Today evening, after a drizzle, the sky and the earth cleared.

Smelling the rare fresh air, Lu Zhen motioned to the servant to push him to go around the courtyard, and now he couldn't walk around on the ground, so he could only rely on a wheelchair and the servant.

He has a blanket on his knees and his hands are flat.

Through the servant's slow push of the wheelchair, Lu Zhen looked at the flowers and trees in the yard, the small bridge and the flowing water, and occasionally reminded the servant to stop, he would be stunned for half an hour and stay put.

Fifty years ago, it was he, Lu Zhen, who took the Lu family on the road to glory.

During this period, I don't know how much hypocrisy and hypocrisy I encountered, deceitful and deceitful, and even open and secret fighting.

He's not stupid, he's not stupid, even when he's old.

Therefore, Lu Zhen knew in his heart why he had become just a breath away in just one month.

"For the sake of profit and power, cannibalism, and frying each other with the same root, this kind of thing is the most common in the imperial family in the past, and in today's wealthy nobles, I have no reason to blame you."

Lu Zhen muttered to himself, a little emotional, "But after I die, you will lead the Lu family to destruction." ”

Almost in a second, Lu Zhen felt that he couldn't sit still, and completely let the people below toss, he wanted to make some appropriate decisions while he was not dead and still had a breath.

For example, surrender.

This once high-ranking and majestic old man, near the end of his life, bowed down to a young man for the first time.

And before that, Lu Zhen must find a proper and reasonable reason to invite Ning Chen.

"I'm going to have a birthday party."

After Lu Zhen motioned to the servant to invite Lu Xuan, the son who cared about and valued him the most, he directly opened the door to Jiangshan Road.

Lu Xuan frowned, looking puzzled, "Father, birthday banquets are generally rounded, you only celebrated your eightieth birthday three years ago, and now you have a big birthday?" ”

"Can't you celebrate your ninetieth birthday early?" Lu Zhen's tone was stiff, a little dissatisfied with the submissive, cautious Lu Xuan's attitude at the moment.

This son is too old-fashioned, lacking a sleekness and sophistication.

Lu Xuan looked at Lu Zhen with a strange expression and didn't say a word.

"Go ahead." Lu Zhen requested.

Lu Xuan had a headache, was silent for a few seconds, and could only nod in agreement.

After all, the old man is dying, and inviting some people with weight in Fengtian City to gather together should be regarded as sending him off in advance.

Lu Zhen looked at Lu Xuan's back as he left with complicated eyes, his eyes were uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

……

Ning Chen received an invitation from the Lu family two days later.

At the same time, Zhao Sanjia also received it.

As the head of the Academy of Fine Arts, Zhao Sanjia is a pivotal figure in the field of education, and it is reasonable for the Lu family to invite him.

However, Ning Chen was invited, and it became a little intriguing.

"Old man Lu has a big birthday, why don't you even invite him? What do you mean? ”

Zhao Sanjia knew the contradiction between Ning Chen and the Lu family, and even he felt inexplicable about this invitation.

Ning Chen sat at the desk, his index finger tapped on the table, and did not speak.

Zhao Sanjia said again, "Lu Jianyun almost died at your hands, at this time, suddenly inviting you, who is almost an enemy, to a banquet, is it to release a signal to seek peace, or a Hongmen banquet?" ”

"As long as Lu Zhen is not stupid, he understands that holding a Hongmen banquet at me will only make his Lu family die faster."

Ning Chen grinned lightly, and his tone was indifferent, as if he was expounding on a trivial matter.

Zhao Sanjia was taken aback by Ning Chen's words, frowned, and was speechless.

"Don't think about it, this birthday banquet is actually Lu Zhen making amends to me, it depends on whether the Lu family below him will understand his good intentions." Ning Chen said confidently.

Zhao Sanjia subconsciously asked, "So, you decided to go?" ”

"Wouldn't it be boring if I didn't go?" Ning Chen narrowed his eyes, his smile was as bright as ever.
