Chapter 924: Chapter 918: Difficult to Accept

Lu Tianxing stared intently at the man’s appearance, because he discovered that the man’s looks were about seventy to eighty percent similar to his own, like a twin carved from the same mold. More importantly, when he saw the two people in this photo, Lu Tianxing felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity bursting from his heart.

“I’ll keep the photo you gave me, and when I have time, I’ll definitely visit the Lu Family.”

Lu Tianxing did not refuse, putting the photo into his pocket.

“Yes, young master, I will be waiting for you at the Lu Family, and the old master is waiting for you too. The old master has felt guilty his entire life because of your father. He said if he could see you, he hopes to apologize to you and beg for your forgiveness,” Lu Chuan said, nodding.

Lu Tianxing said nothing more and directly turned and left the office.

Watching Lu Tianxing’s back, Lu Chuan murmured to himself, “Master, I’ve found him, I’ve finally found the young master. He looks much like you, even his ways are quite alike. If nothing had happened to you, perhaps the future world would have been yours and your son’s. But, alas, Master, rest assured, your son is back, and he is more talented than you. Rest assured, not long now, the young master will personally avenge you, with the blood of those people from back then to honor you….”

…

Lu Tianxing left Yanhuang Group, feeling somewhat lost, without even bothering to greet Sima Lingyun and others, or letting Jiao Long drive, he fumbled away in Jiao Long’s car from Yanhuang Group.

Lu Tianxing did not know how he returned to Purple Bamboo Villa, only knowing that his mind felt like mush, as if it had suddenly gone blank.

After getting out of the car, Lu Tianxing walked heavily into the house.

In the hall, Bai Zhiqing, who had been resting, also came downstairs, and the three people chatting saw Lu Tianxing and were stunned. When Lu Tianxing left, he was clearly in a good mood, yet now he appeared so grim.

Moreover, having been with Lu Tianxing for so long, they’d always seen him goofing around, never showing such an expression, as if hiding something.

Wasn’t Lu Tianxing just at the Yanhuang Group? What could have happened there?

Seeing Lu Tianxing like this, Bai Zhiqing immediately showed a little concern in her beautiful eyes, hastily got up, walked over, and asked with care, “Lu Tianxing, what’s wrong? Your face looks awful. Did something happen? Don’t scare me.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing but didn’t speak, instead he woodenly walked to the sofa and sat down, his eyes glanced over the concerned Mandala and Lin Yafei, and sighed gently, “Manman, get me a glass of water.”

“Okay, brother, wait a minute.”

Mandala looked at Lu Tianxing, opened her mouth to speak but said nothing, then got up and walked to the side.

Seeing Lu Tianxing this way, Bai Zhiqing became anxious. In the past, no matter what happened, Lu Tianxing would be grinning. Never had he been like today, as if he were a different person—so unfamiliar.

“Lu Tianxing, what’s going on, speak up, whatever it is, let it out, don’t keep it to yourself, okay?”

Lu Tianxing didn’t say anything, just blankly received the glass of water handed over by Mandala and drank it all.

“Brother, what’s wrong with you? Speak up, honestly, did Sima Lingyun give you a hard time at Yanhuang Group? You wait here, I’ll go get the Five Poison Powder and make sure no one at Yanhuang Group is spared,” Mandala said with a murderous tone.

“Yes, Lu Tianxing, say something! This isn’t like you. Don’t forget, we are your family. Tell us if there’s anything troubling you, maybe we can help,” Lin Yafei said as well, her tone laced with urgency, as she had never seen him so defeated before.

Lu Tianxing raised his eyelids slightly, shook his head, and said, “I’m fine.”

“Then what’s the matter?”

Again, Lu Tianxing fell into silence.

Seeing Lu Tianxing like this, the three women became as anxious as ants on a hot pan, wanting to comfort him but not knowing how to start.

After some time, Lu Tianxing suddenly lifted his head, his gaze swept across Bai Zhiqing, Lin Yafei, and Mandala, without speaking, he slowly took out the yellowed photo from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Seeing Lu Tianxing slowly place the photo on the coffee table, the three women were slightly startled, noticing that the man in the picture had a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to Lu Tianxing. Although Lu Tianxing looked quite similar to this man, there was also a trace of the woman in the photo in his brows, suggesting he was not the man in the photo.

“It’s him, it’s actually them, how is this possible….”

At this moment, Lin Yafei suddenly exclaimed in surprise, a touch of disbelief on her pretty face.

Hearing Lin Yafei’s words, both Bai Zhiqing and Mandala displayed surprised expressions: “Lin Demon, you know them?”

Lin Yafei nodded, glanced at Lu Tianxing, and slowly spoke, “If I’m not mistaken, they should be people from the Jiangnan Lu Family, the man named Lu Tianzhan, and the woman Jiang Hongyan, a couple.”

“A couple?”

Bai Zhiqing was stunned and hurriedly said, “You mean….”

Before Bai Zhiqing could finish, Lu Tianxing opened up, saying, “They are my biological parents. Today, when I went to Yanhuang Group, I met someone who gave me this photo, saying the people in the photo are my biological parents.”

“Your parents?”

Bai Zhiqing widened her beautiful eyes, looking at the man in the military uniform in the photo who resembled Lu Tianxing by seventy to eighty percent. She remembered Lu Tianxing saying he was an orphan, so how did parents suddenly appear out of nowhere?

“I don’t know.”

Lu Tianxing shook his head, his voice particularly low, “I don’t know whether I should believe him. Do you know? Back in the orphanage, at school, because I had no parents, I was bullied by countless people, even directly called a parentless bastard, and those words followed me through elementary school, even in middle school, some would say it directly.”

“I once hated them in my heart, hated them for abandoning me, for making me suffer years of scorn. But later, I gave up, I just wanted to find them, to ask them why they abandoned me.”

“However, there was never any news, not even a bit; so many years passed, I gave up, completely gave up, considering myself an orphan, but not alone because I have you. But today, someone told me that my parents didn’t abandon me but had no choice. Ha, how am I supposed to believe this, how am I supposed to accept all of this….”

A bitter smile appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face, for after holding onto something for many years, having it suddenly shattered was a feeling that anyone would find difficult to accept.
