A female character in a book, regaining her luck

Chapter 155 Cake

When Lu Huanchu came out of the ward, Mu Chaosheng glanced inside through the crack in the door.

Just one glance and Mu Chaosheng saw a Lu Fengshi who was completely different from before.

"Dr. Lu, what did you say to Dad?"

"Recalling the past, recalling the days when Gu Ma and my mother were still alive..."

Lu Huanchu's tone was calm, without any emotion fluctuation, and he seemed to have gotten over the pain of losing his mother.

But Mu Chaosheng is not stupid. She knows that both father and son have not gotten over the death of the two mistresses of the Lu family, they are just in different moods.

"I thought you were going to put out the fire, but it turns out you were going to add fuel to the fire. Why did you do this?" Mu Chaosheng asked.

"A Chao, you know, when people are sick, they are usually particularly uneasy and vulnerable. If they hear something special at this time, their mood may be completely different from before. This can be regarded as a good opportunity to start over."

“What if it gets worse?”

This is definitely not the first time that the old man has fallen ill, but it is the first time that Lu Huanchu has chosen this time to reveal his true colors.

Mu Chaosheng knew that Lu Huanchu still had some expectations for his father.

Lu Huanchu breathed a sigh of relief, "This is fate..."

Mu Chaosheng looked at Lu Huanchu. He was very calm, and it was obvious that he had already prepared himself for the futile consequences.

She pulled Lu Huanchu outside and said, "Go to work quickly. Uncle Fang and I are here to help!"

After sending her back home, she bought a new lunch.

She didn't send it in, but asked Uncle Fang to take it in. This time the ward was very quiet.

A few days later, Lu Tianqing, Lu Yingsi and other brothers and sisters visited Lu Fengshi.

They came every few days, but they made an appointment to come together each time because none of them wanted to face the old man alone.

Just when everyone was concerned about Lu Fengshi, the door of the ward opened and Mu Chaosheng walked in full vigor.

As soon as Lu Fengshi saw Mu Chaosheng, his face, which had been barely calm, immediately turned down and looked displeased.

The brothers and sisters looked at each other in bewilderment: Are they quarreling again?

But Mu Chaosheng didn't care.

"You are all here!"

"Sister-in-law, let's come and see uncle." Lu Yingsi replied.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you busy preparing for the celebration party? How come you have time to come here?" Lu Tianqing asked.

Mu Chaosheng picked up an exquisite little box in his hand and shook it carefully in front of everyone.

"The number one contributor to the celebration banquet is here, how can I not come!"

Mu Chaosheng looked at Lu Fengshi gratefully: "Dad, the quarterly financial report of Migu Film and Television is out! Thanks to your hard work and guidance over the past six months, Migu Film and Television has been able to achieve profitability in just six months!"

She handed the box to Lu Fengshi and said, "Dad, this is a thank-you gift for you!"

Lu Fengshi pushed Mu Chaosheng's hand away without even looking at him: "I'm tired, you guys go."

After that, he wanted to lie down.

"Dad, this is not a thank-you gift from me. This gift is from the company and the cost will be reimbursed by the Finance Department of Migu Films. I'm just an errand boy. Please don't make things difficult for me!"

"Uncle, don't you always teach us to be decent and generous in our words and deeds? If we don't accept it, we will be not giving face to Migu Film and Television. It is always better to have one more friend than one less!" Lu Tianqing advised carefully.

"Tianqing, since you remember all this, you should remember that I also taught you not to accept rewards without merit, and taught you to be careful of those villains who are either treacherous or thieves and offer flattery for no reason!"

As soon as Lu Fengshi opened his mouth, a sense of oppression came over him.

Lu Tianqing held his breath, fearing that if he angered Lu Fengshi, the business he had worked so hard to build would be ruined.

She couldn't answer no, but it was also not right not to answer. When she was struggling with the dilemma, Mu Chaosheng gave her a comforting look, telling her not to mind it and not to ask for help anymore.

Mu Chaosheng opened the box and found a cake the size of an egg inside. It was so delicate and small in shape that it looked like a toy for playing house.

She put the special plate and fork aside and handed them to Lu Fengshi.

"Dad, you are not unworthy of your reward. It is because of your teachings that Migu Films can take every step on the right path! I am very grateful to you!"

"You are still recovering and need to pay attention to your diet, so I asked someone to customize this cake. You are the first person to eat the celebratory cake of Migu Films!"

Lu Fengshi sneered, not seeming angry, but rather sulking.

"I am tyrannical, cold-blooded and ruthless. How dare I call myself a teacher?"

"Dad, I have learned from you and have grown from you. It is only natural for me to be grateful to you. Similarly, if I have been hurt and wronged by you, it is also natural for me to be resentful of you."

"Even saints have their own biases, let alone you who are not saints. How can you force yourself to do the right thing? Since not everything you do is right, how can you force others to agree with everything you do?"

"Although I can't agree with everything, there is always some part that I can't deny!"

"For example, your silent care and love for us younger generations, your painstaking teachings to us, and all the things you did to protect us from the wind and rain..."

"We have not forgotten these things, we have kept them in our hearts, and in this regard, our gratitude and thanksgiving are absolutely genuine."

"Dad, you turned a blind eye to our respect for you, and you kept our resentment towards you in your heart. This is unfair to us."

"It would be unfair to you if we turned a blind eye to the help you gave us and only remembered your tyranny and inhumanity."

"Dad, you can manage a group like Lu's, why can't you make things more fair for our family of only a few dozen people?"

"Just like now, I am really grateful to you, why can't you let me thank you properly?"

These words left Lu Fengshi speechless and made everyone present feel mixed emotions.

When the old man taught them and cleaned up the mess for them, they did not feel grateful, but just felt lucky to have survived the old man's anger.

When the old man bound them and forced them, they did not have the courage to fight against the old man, but only secretly resented him.

At this moment, they finally understood why they could not be like their eldest brother: because they only wanted to get the benefits of being taken care of but were unwilling to bear the price of freedom.

It's really unfair...

Mu Chaosheng handed the cake to Lu Fengshi again: "Dad, try it, it's really delicious!"

Lu Fengshi did not move, but his whole body relaxed and he was no longer as tense as before. However, the atmosphere in the room was still tense.

At this time, Uncle Fang took the cake and said, "Sir, you eat less in the morning, so this time is just right for some desserts."

Lu Fengshi coughed lightly, raised his eyes and casually glanced at the people who were gathered around him.

Their eyes met, and the expectation in their eyes immediately struck Lu Fengshi.

If he didn't eat the cake today, it would seem that he would extinguish the flame that was slowly burning in these children and had not yet fully matured.

He had a premonition that if this flame went out, all his years of perseverance would be in vain.

Lu Fengshi used a special knife to cut the cake into two halves, and then used a small fork to take a bite of the cake.

Everyone laughed in relief.

At this time, Mu Chaosheng quickly stuffed the remaining half into his mouth with a fork.

Lu Fengshi was surprised: "You...!"

"Dad, although you are a good commander, without my determination to carry out your instructions 100%, Migu Films will not be able to make a profit."

"So, the credit belongs half to you and half to me!"

Lu Fengshi snorted and said to Uncle Fang: "I'm afraid I won't make it to noon if I only eat this little bit..."

The people in the room were trying not to laugh. They wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

Mu Chaosheng chuckled and took out a large box outside the ward, which contained a whole normal-sized cake.

"Since we've already celebrated the number one contributor, then everyone should get a share of the remaining cakes!"

Seeing that Lu Fengshi showed no displeasure and no intention of interfering, everyone could no longer hold back and cheered.

They pressed the knife into Lu Fengshi's hand and shouted in a restrained manner, "Cut the cake! Cut the cake!"

Lu Fengshi sighed and compromised resignedly.

Everyone got a piece of cake from Lu Fengshi, but Mu Chaosheng didn't give him any cake, using the excuse that he couldn't eat too many sweets.

Everyone held a lively celebration in Lu Fengshi's ward, which looked like a birthday celebration.

Although Lu Fengshi was not used to it, the way they ate the cake with big mouthfuls was very special and made him feel a long-lost power.

A few gentle laughs were drowned out by everyone's still instinctively restrained cheers.
