Chapter 64 Not Turning Back Until Hitting a Wall

In recent years, Old Master Lu has been most averse to others mentioning Lu Yunsi and her daughter, so the younger generation subconsciously looked at Old Master Lu.

Old Master Lu remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's always better to be clear than to keep things hidden, so Lu Yingliang didn't intend to gloss over it and told his daughter why.

“Your aunt was already thirty-four when she was pregnant with your sister. Your uncle and I delayed her during the best years of her life. Whether she gets married or not is no longer important. Judging from her age and experience, she is capable of taking responsibility for her own life. In terms of economic conditions, any painting she paints can sell for six figures, which is enough to support herself and your sister.”

"You're only a few years old, you don't study hard, you don't even have a decent job, and your mother and I have to support you. You say you want to have this child, but tell me, how are you going to support this child?"

Lu Yuhan lowered her head and remained silent.

"As for your sister..." Lu Yingliang glanced at his father, who remained silent, and lowered his voice, "It's not that your sister is capable, but that your sister has been without parents since childhood. No matter how much we elders love her, there is always a barrier between us, and we can't really control her."

Old Master Lu, who had been motionless, twitched his eyelids and his eyes became slightly moist.

Lu Yingliang took a deep breath. "I can't control whether your sister is my daughter or not, but I won't allow my daughter to do such a thing. If you want to keep this child, then get out of the Lu family immediately. Whether you live or die is none of the Lu family's business."

"Ah Liang!" Wen Ying called out.

Lu Yingliang ignored her and continued to look at Lu Yuhan. "As your father, I'll give you one last piece of advice. Madam Tang is no kind person, and the Gu family is even less so. Even if your mother and I don't care about you, you will definitely not be able to keep this child. You can try it if you don't believe me."

Lu Yuhan's face turned deathly pale. After a long silence, she suddenly knelt down in the direction of Lu Yingliang and Wen Ying.

"Yuhan." Wen Ying burst into tears when she saw her like this.

The last glimmer of hope in Lu Yingliang's eyes vanished, replaced by deep disappointment.

Lu Yuhan quietly kowtowed three times and left the Lu residence without looking back.

"Yuhan!" Wen Ying instinctively wanted to chase after her.

Lu Yingliang grabbed her, "Don't chase after them."

Wen Ying turned around and punched Lu Yingliang hard. "She's my daughter. I can't abandon her."

"Do you think she needs your help?" Lu Yingliang said sternly. "I think she won't turn back until she hits a brick wall."

Wen Ying cried and yelled, "Just because she doesn't want me to take care of her, does that mean I can really just ignore her?"

Lu Yingliang then asked her, "How do you plan to handle this? Knock her unconscious and send her to the hospital, or let her give birth to the child?"

“I…” Wen Ying looked bewildered and couldn’t speak for a moment.

The living room fell silent again.

After a long silence, Old Master Lu sighed, glanced at Wen Ying indifferently, and said to his youngest son, "Let them go."

Lu Yingliang looked at Old Master Lu, "Dad."

Grandpa Lu waved his hand, stood up with his cane, refused Lu Yinghui and Dou Meijuan's help, and slowly walked towards the room.

Lu Yingliang closed his eyes, released Wen Ying, and turned to go upstairs without saying a word.

The others didn't linger either.

Lu Fenghe followed his parents upstairs, his expression not relaxed.

Now that things have come to this, he needs to prepare in advance to deal with the Tang family's attack.

As for the Gu family...

Lu Fenghe's face darkened. He took his phone, which he had placed in a potted plant on the third floor, ignored the still-connecting video call, and pressed the hang-up button.

Soon, only Wen Ying and Lu Fengyang remained in the living room.

Wen Ying looked up at the sound of footsteps, saw her eldest son's cold face, and tears streamed down her face again, "Feng Yang..."

Lu Fengyang stood there, making no attempt to help the woman up from the ground. He looked down at his biological mother with a cold gaze, "The second time."

Wen Ying froze.

Lu Fengyang didn't look at her again and went upstairs without turning back.

"Fengyang, come here." Lu Yinghui stood at the door of the study and waved to Lu Fengyang.

Lu Fengyang immediately turned around and went into the study.

A short while later, Lu Yingliang and Lu Fenghe arrived, followed by Dou Meijuan.

Once the study door was closed, they were completely cut off from view.

Wen Ying was left all alone, sitting on the cold floor of the living room.

Wen Ying could no longer control herself, buried her face in her palms, and cried silently.

While things were not peaceful at the Lu residence, the Gu residence remained quiet.

Only Gu Jinhong and Huo Yao were at the dinner table, with the old butler and several servants waiting on the side.

After putting down his chopsticks, Gu Jinhong said calmly, "The eldest, second, and third sons are all engaged, and now Weiwei is getting engaged too. Keep a close eye on Suixing's situation."

Today, Gu Jinhong specially sent people to inquire about eligible daughters from various families, starting with the top families: the Xie family, the Tang family, the Huo family, and the Lu family. The Lu family was eliminated first, and the Huo family was Huo Yao's maternal family, so they were not considered. The Xie family's only daughter in this generation was the daughter of her eldest daughter, so they were also not considered.

As for the remaining Tang family, the second son married a daughter from the Tang family, and the granddaughter will soon be marrying into the Tang family as well. He has no intention of letting Gu Suixing marry another person with the surname Tang.

Next are the Zhang, He, Wang, and Yun families. The Yun family has no daughters, and the Zhang family's only daughter was rejected by Gu Suixing during a blind date. The daughters of the He and Wang families are both engaged. All things considered, his Suixing cannot find a wife among these major families in City A.

His son, Sui Xing, is a chosen one and deserves the best. He looks down on girls from poor families, and right now he only has daughters of officials with family backgrounds and daughters of wealthy families from other places left.

Gu Jinhong asked, "What do you think of Deputy Director Qin's only daughter?"

Huo Yao: "Never seen it before."

Gu Jinhong gave her a deep look, "Let's go see him sometime."

Huo Yao responded indifferently.

Gu's Group, Technology Department.

Most people in the technical department are night owls and used to working overtime. Today, with the "rich woman" providing them with good food and drinks, no one left work and stayed to work overtime with them.

However, the "rich woman" did not have a proper job.

She held the coffee in both hands, Bluetooth earphones in both ears, and stared intently at the phone screen in front of her.

The video call had already ended, but Lu Fengqing was still in a daze.

In the CEO's office on the top floor, Gu Suixing finished his work, looked up at the time, and his handsome face turned cold.

From nine in the morning to ten at night, a full thirteen hours, that woman still hadn't left. Was she planning to spend the night in the technical department?

Gu Suixing called over Assistant Fang, "Go down and see what they're doing."

Ten minutes later, Assistant Fang returned alone, carrying two late-night snacks.

One copy was for Gu Suixing, and the other was for him.

Gu Suixing looked up.

Assistant Fang pushed up his glasses, hiding his expression behind the lenses. "Miss Lu is treating everyone to a late-night snack."

Gu Suixing sneered and waved for Assistant Fang to leave.

The child couldn't stay up late, so Rui Rui fell asleep on the sofa early. Gu Suixing covered him with his suit jacket and ate the takeout that Assistant Fang had brought over.

The night grew deeper.

At midnight, Gu Suixing turned off the computer, picked up Rui Rui, and went downstairs to catch the person.
