Chapter 3 Rubbish

Yun City boasted of its notable and well-known families. There were two great families in Yun City: the Lu Family and the Nie Family. Being a part of the Lu Family, Mond would surely stir up big news if he was photographed by reporters while going home to the villa in Yun City.

Just then, the car drove slowly into the villa. The servants lined up in rows at the gate as they waited for Mond's arrival.

"We have arrived, Mr. Mond," Charlie said in a low voice.

Mond pretended to be sleepy. After Charlie's voice trailed off, Mond opened his fake sleepy eyes and looked outside the car's window. There, he saw a group of servants waiting for him to get out of the car. Although Ron already took out his wheelchair from the trunk of the car, Mond didn't give him the signal and appeared to not have any intention of moving at all.

The villa's yard was decorated lavishly with an elegant and unique style. The ground was a little bit damp due to the rain that had fallen a while ago. It mixed with the smell of the grass and the earth, making the air around the yard fresher and more natural. In the center of the yard was a fountain that shone bright with the scattered light of sunshine, forming an arch of a small rainbow.

"Mond, you're finally home! Why don't you get off the car now? Dad has been waiting for you!" When Elroy Lu saw Mond, he pretended to be surprised. He welcomed Mond with excitement, but little did Elroy Lu know that Mond already saw through his poor acting skills. Meanwhile, a sneer slipped its way into Mond's lips.

Elroy Lu saw this and couldn't hold back his anger. 'How could a disabled man like him take such a stand? Who does he think he is? He can't possibly succeed in the power of the Lu Family!' Elroy Lu thought.

On the other hand, Nathan Lu also saw what happened. He looked at Mond and sneered. "Ah, yes. Look at that. Remember how your legs used to work? I remember how father used to like you. But I guess now, all he feels for you is pity! I can't believe that car accident ruined your bright future. We are so sad for you!" However, his face said otherwise. A smug expression was formed along with his eyes showing no care.

But the man in the car didn't respond to Nathan Lu's racy words at all. In fact, Mond didn't even bother to look at him.

On the other hand, if there was anyone who knew Mond well, that was Ron. He knew how Mond's temper was triggered. At that moment, Ron didn't have the slightest interest to argue with them further, but at the same time, he could not sit there and let them pick on his master. Finally, Ron burst and said in monotone, "Mr. Nathan, with all due respect, although Mr. Mond is physically disabled, he is still the young master of the Lu Family who deserves to be respected. And our first madam is also from a noble family. Watch your words!"

His words, though not pushy, were able to infuriate Nathan Lu. Although Noah Lu had a deep love for Nathan's mother, the fact remained that she was nothing but a woman with a low status. In fact, Noah Lu had once been drunk and then slept with her. After that night, she became pregnant and afterwards gave birth to Nathan. With his birth, she became the second madam of the Lu Family, thanks to her looks and means.

However, things were quite different when it came to Mond. His mother was Anna An from the An Family, the daughter of Angus An who was the richest person in the city at that time. During that time, Anna An had a deep and romantic love with Noah Lu. However, it was rather unfortunate that she died at an early age due to her illness. If she had not died, then it would be impossible for others to compete for the right of inheritance of the Lu Family. Without a doubt, the inheritor must be Mond!

On the other hand, Elroy Lu, Mond's other sibling, was the son of the third madam from another noble family. However, he wasn't Noah Lu's favorite and he was treated less than his other brothers.

"Shut up!" A majestic voice echoed from behind the crowd. In an instant, both Nathan and Elroy became obedient and went to support Noah with smiles plastered on their faces like kind and obedient sons.

Mond glanced at them and signaled Ron to take him out. Ron then pushed him in the wheelchair into the crowd. Mond was aloof as he looked at the group of people in front of him. They tried to flatter him, in an attempt to conceal their evil intentions. Nevertheless, his expression remained unchanged.

"There you are, Mond! How have you been?" Nathan approached Mond and squatted beside his wheelchair. He looked at him up and down as if judging him, while asking about his body.

Mond only replied by nodding his head.

Despite Noah feeling dissatisfied with his son's indifference, he still put on an admiring look. Among his three sons, Mond was his favorite after all.

Even though Elroy was married, he hadn't changed his character at all. He was still quite reckless and competitive.

While, Nathan was quite skittish, unfaithful, and a playboy who went to a lot of places for women. But Nathan had one redeeming quality-he had a good business sense. With that, Noah let him go live his life to the fullest.

Only the eldest son, Mond, was steady and indifferent to anything. It was more suitable for him to inherit the Lu Family. Unfortunately, he was a cripple and this could create some problems for him. How could the successor of the Lu Family be a useless person!

Clearing his throat, Noah took a sip of tea that Nathan served and said, "I'm here to tell you something important, so I called you back at the moment."

"We're all ears, Dad. What happened?" For fear of missing something, Elroy hastily asked this question.

Meanwhile, Nathan cast a meaningful glance at Elroy. He sighed and said, "Have you heard of Nancy, the daughter of the Nie Family? That..."

"Of course, I mean, who wouldn't know her? I heard that she is famous for her beauty in the whole Yun City. Countless people go to ask for engagement with her every day! Every man in this city is going crazy about her..." Elroy interrupted before Nathan could even finish his sentence.

Nathan looked at Elroy's restless face and shook his head. Afterwards, Nathan turned to Mond and said, "The daughter of the Nie Family wants to marry a man of the Lu Family."

"Dad, I'll do it. I'm willing to marry her." As soon as Elroy heard that Nancy was willing to marry a man in his family, he immediately lit a cigarette for Noah fawningly.

But Nathan snorted coldly and said, "But you're already married! Are going to marry the girl of the Nie Family as your concubine?"

"Eh...there's another solution to that. I can divorce my wife!" At the thought of marrying Nancy, Elroy seemed to have forgotten everything. He even forgot that his father was still there with them.

"That's ridiculous!" Nathan stopped Elroy before he could even finish his words.

"That's absurd! Have you even thought about your wife's feeling? She's the daughter of the Yue Family. Do you want to cause troubles between the two families?"

Mond sat in the wheelchair and watched the farce as if he were an outsider. He then put his head on his hand and thought, 'She wants to marry into my family?' If Nancy was willing to do so, it was unnecessary for her to run away from the marriage. For such a girl, if she was unwilling, then she would run away sooner or later, no matter how rich the Lu Family was!

"Dad, if this is going to be beneficial to the Lu Family, then I'm willing to marry the daughter of the Nie Family." Nathan stepped forward, as he exuded the vibe that he was taking the bullet for the Lu Family.

"Is that so? You are considering for the Lu Family? How dutiful of you! Do you think we should be happy that the Lu Family has a son like you?" Elroy said in an extremely sarcastic tone to contend with Nathan. However, he didn't care much about his father's livid expression at all.

Meanwhile, Nathan sneered, and looked at Elroy with a wicked smile and said, "Elroy, it's not proper for you to say so. Now that father also called Mond to be here, it means that Mond is also included in the selection. Why don't we take the time to listen to him?"

Seeing that Nathan still acknowledged Mond's presence, Noah nodded his head with relief.

Hearing Nathan refer Mond as a candidate, Elroy glanced at Mond and said in a more disdainful tone, "A loser like him is in no way comparable to us. It's impossible for the apple of the Nie Family's eyes to marry a pathetic and disabled person like him."

"Shut your mouth!" Noah shouted and Elroy obeyed. Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Nathan turned to look at Elroy with a sly smile.

Elroy finally sensed that he had said something wrong. Despite being a cripple, Mond was still the beloved son of the first madam whom Noah had loved the most. At that moment, Elroy knew that he shouldn't have made a fuss about Mond's disability due to Nathan's trick!
