Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep Chapter 38
Advertisement
No one in the crowd dared to murmur a word as Lawyer When opened his mouth..But they were only left in a cliff hanger for a longer while as Lawyer When continued,"But anyone who knew Old Man Lu would understand his conditions and maybe even support them..Old man Lu, not many of you are aware of this was actually married twice..and sadly for him, he lost his first wife and his only daughter to the same cause..childbirth. His first wife died because of lack of proper medical skills during the early days but his daughter died in spite of those.Old man Lu blamed himself for his daughter's death..She died because she gave birth at a late age and her body was unable to take the stress as it was already weakened due to his daughter's workaholic habits..which were because of him by the way as he planned to leave the Lu Enterprises to her..."
A pause and then,"To prevent history from repeating itself, Old man Lu could only add a stipulation in his will that could ensure that the next generation would not be so callous."
Everyone could not help but think about these conditions and their nature.What could a condition say that would protect someone from death..Many people pondered if the will tipulated that the heir must notnhave any children in the future.But if such was the nature then that would be cruelty.And if Lu Yeona agreed to such conditions then what would that make her.
Before Lawyer Wen could continue however,Old Lady Lu interrupted and calmly redirected the conversation,"Laywer Wen has indeed stated the truth about my husband's will but let us not think of the past.We have gathered here today for a happy occasion and we should be celebrating that..The terms started in the will have been fulfilled and met.So Lu Enterprises can proudly present it's new heir!"

Lawyer Wen glanced at Old Lady Lu in amusement and then continued,"Yes yes,we are here for a special occassion so I have also prepared a gift!Ladies and gentlemen,let me present to you the new heiress of Lu enterprises and Old Man Lu's elder grand daughter-Xie Eun."
The moment he said these words, everyone froze and they could only stare in silence.Xie Eun?Who was this person and where did this granddaughter come from.Everyone in the city knew that Lu Yeona was the only daughter of the Lu family..Only the older businessmen came out of their stupor and began to clap heartily.They were actually pleased with what their friend had announced because they had onserved her and could see that she was a modest and young woman..compared to Lu Yeona who they were unsure of because of the rumors that they had heard about her.
The groups claps woke everyone up and they started to clap too in spite of their confusion..But many people were smart and began to understand that this must be the daughter of the late CEO Lu An..Old Man Lu's daughter's daughter..
As Xie Eun stood and started to walk towards the stage, Old lady Lu had forcefully taken the microphone off the podium and said sharply,"Lawyer Wen..you are seriously mistaken!And you must not make such an announcement even if it is nothing but a prank!Lawyer Wen,that is not how a gift works!"
Though the words were said chidingly,the tone was clear which caused the applause to abruptly quiet down.
At this moment,Xie Eun had walked over to the podium and with a microphone jn he hand, she asked in a small voice,"Why, Grandmother?Why would my inheriting be a prank?Am I not the rightful granddaughter of the family?"

Thisbwas the first time that everyone had a clear look at the angel who now stood on the stage.Her looks had already captivated the crowds and now her sweet voice put them in a trance..The Lu family had indeed kept their treasured granddaughter hidden.She was so beautiful and pure looking that a person would be even scared to touch her lest she become soiled..
On the stage, old Lady Lu had changednher expression and turned to Xie Eun and said just as softly into the microphone,"Xie Eun, my child, it is easy to be lured by power and money.I understand that you arenyoung and from a small village so you might crave these things but you must not be goaded into betraying your family by our enemies..We brought you here two years ago because you were orphaned and had no family.Yes it is my fault that I was busy with business and could not teach you the right morals.And Yeona,your sister, would give all this to you in a jiffy if that is your desire but itnis jot just money.There are millions of people working in our company and their livelihoods are at stake.You are not even studying business but are an Arts student..How will you carry such a heavy burden on your shoulders? Remember this one teaching that Grandmother is going to tell you,"Money and power are not enough to succeed,you need to work hard.Yeona is the rightful heir to the shares of the Lu Enterprises and I hope you will not dispute her right and be an ingrate to our kindness.You are young and easily misled so we must overlook this matter this time.."
