Chapter 64: Chapter 64 After Running Away, the Disabled Tycoon Stopped Pretending 26
“Just now… the person who ran out, was that—Lu Peijin?”
It wasn’t until someone uncertainly murmured to themselves that everyone reacted.
Just now, Lu Peijin, the Lu Family head who had been wheelchair-bound for many years with leg disabilities, had gotten up and run off!!
What could be more shocking than that!
Lu Peijin had long stopped caring about these things; his mind was completely filled with the thought that Su Zhiruan was about to give birth.
He had no idea that he had gone viral for not having a disability!
The whole internet exploded!
The nurses, trying to distract Su Zhiruan, let her look at her phone, only for her to open the trending search and see Lu Peijin sprinting out of the company.
In the pictures spread by everyone, Lu Peijin was so fast that only a blur could be seen.
The real-time search rankings shot up wildly, eventually even crashing.
Before that car accident years ago, although Lu Peijin was mysterious and low-key, he was irresistible due to his good looks; even among male models in the entertainment industry, he could press everyone down with his naturally noble appearance alone.
Just a few side-face shots released in financial magazines could haunt the dreams of all women.
Daughters of wealthy families endlessly sought to marry him.
But after that car accident, the clamor for Lu Peijin gradually decreased a bit.
However, now that they had seen him rushing out, the trending searches were ignited for him once again.
At this moment, those who had been most shocked were the board members who had just been in a meeting with Lu Peijin—they had just seen him sitting in his wheelchair, looking formidable, yet carrying a noble air that made anyone say what a pity it was that he was disabled. To their surprise, just as they were leaving, they saw the current patriarch of the Lu Family, who had been in a wheelchair, dash out running!
This shock was akin to seeing a fish hop onto a bicycle and speed away!
“Was that really Lu Peijin just now? He—He’s not disabled!?”
“Oh my God! He’s kept it so hidden; so, tell me, why do you think Lu always pretended to be disabled?”
“I don’t know! But if they see him safe and sound, Old Master Lu will certainly be at ease.”
Many people actually had their own guesses, but they were all shrewd individuals who wouldn’t recklessly voice their speculations.
There was a flurry of discussion on the outside.
At this time, Lu Peijin had no time to pay attention to the online trends.
After getting out of the car at the hospital, he went straight to Su Zhiruan.
“Where is she?” he asked, looking at the empty room, not seeing the two aunts either.
The nurse, knowing he was Lu Peijin and whom he was asking about, suppressed the tsunami of shock inside her and answered dutifully, “Mr. Lu, Miss Su has already entered the delivery room.”
Lu Peijin was anxious, but could only wait.
As time ticked second by second, and just as Lu Peijin’s anxiety reached a critical level, the door of the delivery room suddenly opened.
“The child is born! Mother and son are safe!”
“Great joy, they are two little gentlemen and one little lady!” The nurse congratulated Lu Peijin but saw that he seemed somewhat distracted, guessing that what he most wanted to know now was about the mother of the children.
So the nurse added cheerfully, “The baby’s mom is also very well, just too tired and asleep.”
Only after hearing this did Lu Peijin let go of his worries, “Can I go in now?”
“Please wait a moment, you can’t go in just yet.” After the nurse spoke, someone called her inside, so she offered an apologetic smile and left.
Lu Peijin hadn’t been standing outside for long before he heard several people approaching. He looked up, only to find it was Grandpa Lu.
“Why are you here?” Lu Peijin watched Grandpa Lu walk up to him with sturdy steps, leaning on his cane, his face full of anxiety.
“You scamp, running off so fast, you even made the trending searches. As your father, how could I not know what’s going on?” Grandpa Lu scolded him before hastily asking, “How’s the Su girl? How was the delivery? Was it smooth?”
“Very smooth, she should be out in a bit.” Speaking of Su Zhiruan, Lu Peijin’s expression immediately softened, and his tone of speaking with Grandpa Lu improved a lot too.
It was only after this exchange that the two men finally relaxed.
Su Zhiruan had the Newbie Gift Package from the system, so her first feeling after giving birth was fatigue. Pain was minimal, and then there was a sense of immense relief.
After all, three real children had been living in her belly for ten months, and the delivery process was also quite long.
She only managed to catch a glimpse of the children, and upon knowing they were two boys and a girl, she fell into deep sleep.
When she woke up again, she found it was very quiet around her.
The sunshine was warm and gentle as it poured in, and the air carried a soft, indescribable scent that was very soothing. She slowly opened her eyes.
The time must have been early morning, just as the sun was rising. Two nannies were sleeping head to head on the sofa, and beside her, was Lu Peijin.
She was momentarily stunned, moved her fingers, and found her hand tightly held by none other than Lu Peijin’s.
Looking at him at this moment, there was a different kind of composure and docility compared to daytime.
Perhaps it’s biased to say so, but right now, this was indeed what Su Zhiruan thought.
Feeling her stir, the light sleeper Lu Peijin immediately woke up.
“You’re awake.” His voice was hoarse, yet he meticulously got up to prepare some porridge.
Su Zhiruan watched him bustling around and suddenly remembered something, then looked up at him, “Mr. Lu, your wheelchair?”
“No longer needed,” Lu Peijin had actually decided to drop the act on the day he ran over, “Want to know why I was in a wheelchair?”
“If that’s okay.” Su Zhiruan was indeed curious. He obviously was a normal person, yet he put himself in a wheelchair, posing as a disabled person, “I saw the trending search yesterday, Mr. Lu sprinting through the company.”
“The matter has been dealt with, and the wheelchair is no longer necessary.” Lu Peijin sat down and began feeding her porridge.
“Grandpa Lu was quite the playboy when he was young, spawning quite a few illegitimate children. Ever since that bunch entered the Lu Family looking to fight for inheritance, they’ve done plenty of underhanded things, like poisoning and tampering with cars—it’s uncountable.” Now, as Lu Peijin talked about these matters, his expression was calm, as if the arrows and bullets were not directed at him.
According to what he said next, as well as what Su Zhiruan knew, she pieced together a story.
Lu Peijin, being the legitimate heir of the Lu Family, was the target. The illegitimate children who sought to rise above or compete equally had to get rid of him. One of them rigged his car to cause an accident, which Lu Peijin discovered. He then pretended to be disabled after the accident to lower their guard and ultimately dealt with them one by one.
And in the end, the most difficult to deal with was Lu Yan, who had entered the company. Lu Peijin had feigned disability, preparing to set traps to oust them, but he hadn’t expected that Grandpa Lu would command Lu Yan and Lu Ming to leave after learning that Su Zhiruan was pregnant with the Lu Family child and had been kidnapped by Lu Ming.
Having removed these obstacles and now firmly in power, Lu Peijin no longer needed to pretend, and as for the outside world’s good or bad comments, he never cared about them to begin with.
“Let’s name the children. The two boys will be older brothers, and the girl will be the younger sister. The brothers will take care of their sister.” Lu Peijin fed her another spoonful of porridge.
Su Zhiruan thought for a moment and then said, “Let’s call them—”
