Chapter 114 Mother and Daughter

Seeing that his father was still in good spirits, Lu Yinghui decided to talk to him about the current situation of the Lu family and the cooperation between the Lu family and the Gu family.

Lu Yingliang listened from the side, glancing at his brother without showing any emotion, and inwardly scoffed.

While it's true that people cherish old feelings, the extent of those feelings is hard to say. Ultimately, it all comes down to whether this niece is useful.

The Gu family is currently at the height of its power; who wouldn't want to marry their daughter into the Gu family and establish a connection with them?

It just so happens that my niece gave birth to that boy from the Gu family's child, and that boy from the Gu family also likes my niece. No one is more suitable than her.

The problem is that the Lu family is currently in a state of semi-death. If they can get on board with the Gu family's big ship and manage the business properly, they could become rich for two generations.

Lu Fengqing stayed at the Lu residence that night.

I had just finished showering when I received a call from Gu Suixing.

"Baby~"

"..."

Lu Fengqing took two seconds to react, then looked at the caller ID.

Oh, it's him, no doubt.

Gu Suixing: "Still at the old house?"

It was probably Fang Ning who told him.

Lu Fengqing hummed in agreement.

Hearing her muffled voice, Gu Suixing asked, "Are you unhappy?"

Lu Fengqing hummed in agreement again.

Gu Suixing: "Who upset you?"

Lu Fengqing: "You."

Gu Suixing smiled and said, "Tell me about it."

Lu Fengqing countered, "What do you think?"

It's all his fault. He left her all those years ago, and then he left her with this difficult problem.

Gu Suixing's smile deepened. "I'll be back the night after tomorrow. He's behaving very well here, staying in a hotel suite, and Xiao Fang is with him too. Don't worry."

Lu Fengqing muttered, "Who cares about you?"

Gu Suixing: "The person is yours, if you don't take care of them, who will?"

Lu Fengqing said with dissatisfaction, "You're such a grown-up, can't you take care of yourself?"

Gu Suixing was speechless for a moment, then chuckled and didn't continue the topic. Suddenly, she asked, "Is your old man feeling better?"

Lu Fengqing's mood dipped again as she recalled what happened that afternoon. "It's not good."

Gu Suixing: "Then when he's feeling a bit better, you can take me to see him again."

Lu Fengqing's hand tightened around her phone, her whole body tensing up. "What are you going to do with my grandfather?"

Gu Suixing: "If I want to marry his granddaughter, I have to meet him formally and get his consent."

Lu Fengqing pouted, "When did I say I wanted to marry you?"

Gu Suixing: "I have to get married, whether I want to or not."

Lu Fengqing didn't know where his confidence came from, and too lazy to pay attention to him, she asked, "Do you also think that the opinions of elders are very important?"

“That depends on the elders.” Gu Suixing seemed to know what Lu Fengqing wanted to say. “You were raised by your maternal grandparents. It’s perfectly reasonable for me to ask for their consent if I want to marry you. I was raised by my parents. My dad definitely won’t have any objections. If my dad doesn’t have any objections, my mom won’t have any either. As long as they both agree, that’s fine.”

“As for my grandfather,” Gu Suixing chuckled, “he doesn’t care about his own son, so why would he care about his grandson? If he’s willing to accept it, I’ll take you back to see him. If he’s not willing to accept it, I’ll go back to see him myself later.”

Lu Fengqing pursed her lips. "Aren't you afraid he'll kick you out of the Gu family?"

"What's there to be afraid of? I don't eat his food, live in his house, or spend his money." Gu Suixing said calmly, but her tone couldn't hide her arrogance. "But you, don't be a coward again."

Lu Fengqing: "...You're the coward!"

“If I were a turtle, I’d stretch out my head and legs too.” Gu Suixing paused, his voice turning serious. “I could stretch out other things as well, haven’t you tried?”

Lu Fengqing took a moment to realize what he was "stretching out," and her face immediately turned bright red. "Can't you speak properly?"

Gu Suixing asked innocently, "What did I say?"

Lu Fengqing: "You know it yourself."

Gu Suixing: "I don't know. Tell me."

"..." What a load of rubbish.

Lu Fengqing didn't want to talk to him.

"Alright, don't be upset." Gu Suixing's voice was gentle as he coaxed her from a distance. "We'll talk about it when I get back."

Lu Fengqing snorted softly, "Hang up."

Goodnight, my love.

"……good evening."

Lu Fengqing put down her phone, and the room fell silent.

It's not impossible to introduce him to his maternal grandfather, but...

The old man's health was inconsistent; he couldn't withstand any stress, and she couldn't guarantee that she could persuade her grandfather.

She knew and understood her grandfather's concerns and fears. Losing a daughter in middle age is a huge shock for an elderly person, let alone leaving in such a way.

Lu Fengqing's memories of her mother are very vague because her mother passed away early. She has never been able to understand why her mother was so depressed, and she still can't understand it now.

I can't understand what triggered her mother to abandon her young daughter, parents, and brother and commit suicide by cutting her wrists.

She and Rui Rui are mother and daughter, but they are different. Even without Rui Rui, she would not commit suicide for anyone.

Being alive is better than anything else, and living in glory and in the spotlight is even more wonderful.

Before going to bed, Lu Fengqing went to see Old Master Lu.

The old man had already gone to bed, but his sleep was restless, his brows furrowed, as if he were troubled by something.

Uncle Chen whispered, "Miss, you should get some rest too. There are caregivers here, so the old man will be fine."

Lu Fengqing looked at the old man for a moment, nodded, and turned to leave the treatment room.

Uncle Chen followed her out and couldn't help but whisper, "Miss, I know you miss Young Master Rui Rui, but the old gentleman is also worried about you. He... he's not in good health. So many years have passed. Please bear with it for another year or two and let the old gentleman be at ease."

Lu Fengqing stood quietly for a moment, then suddenly remembered that this old housekeeper seemed to have worked at the Lu residence for many years. After her maternal grandparents took her to settle in S City, this old housekeeper had been looking after the old house for them and was highly trusted by the two elderly people. She asked in a low voice, "What kind of person is my mother?"

In the past, neither her maternal grandparents nor her uncles and aunts wanted to talk to her about her mother. No matter how much she acted up or threw a tantrum, they just wouldn't say anything. Even the traces of her mother in the old house were completely erased.

Later, when she was in S City, she went to ask Mr. Gu, but he only said that her mother was a very gentle person and refused to say anything else.

Other elders from families that were on good terms with the Lu family either didn't want to talk about it or didn't know anything about it, so even if Lu Fengqing wanted to investigate, she couldn't do anything about it.

Uncle Chen glanced at Lu Fengqing, hesitated, and finally said only, "You and she look very similar."

Lu Fengqing wasn't going to let him off the hook. "Anything else?"

Uncle Chen shook his head gently, "No. Apart from looking alike, you and Miss Yun Si have absolutely nothing in common."

Seeing that Uncle Chen kept his mouth shut and looked like he was unwilling to say anything more, Lu Fengqing was a little disappointed, but she didn't press him for more information.

After returning to her room, Lu Fengqing thought for a moment and then sent a message to Gu Suixing.

[Lu Fengqing: Tell me, what kind of person is my mother?]

A short while later, Gu Suixing replied to her.
