Chapter 187 She left again

In the courtyard of the Lu family manor, there are mountains and flowing water, and emerald green pines and cypresses towering into the clouds.

The sunlight shines through the lush branches onto the spliced ​​bluestone slabs.

"Chairman, you haven't eaten for a day. Your body can't handle this."

Ji Xiu stood behind Lu Lixiao and reminded him softly.

After Lu Xiyan left, Lu Lixiao stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking pensive.

"Ji Xiu."

He stared at the towering pines and cypresses, his voice slightly hoarse as he spoke, "Tell me, am I wrong? I'm doing this for the good of my grandson, am I wrong? Is everything I did wrong?"

He seemed to be asking the other person, but also seemed to be asking himself.

"Chairman, you have your difficulties, and the Second Young Master will understand." Ji Xiu sighed and brought him a cup of hot tea. "You watched the Second Young Master grow up. You love him the most and you understand him best. You know that he has never wanted to be a caged bird since he was a child."

"The Second Young Master is indeed very similar to the great master back then. He has been very smart since he was young and is quick to understand business matters. He has achieved such impressive results since he took over Ou Teng. He is the perfect choice to inherit the Lu family."

Ji Xiu looked at him and said, "But Chairman, this must be based on his willingness."

Hearing this, Lu Lixiao took the tea and motioned him to continue.

"The Second Young Master has never liked to get involved in company affairs since he was a child. For more than 20 years, he has been used to being unruly and wanton."

Ji Xiu walked over to the trunk of a thousand-year-old pine or cypress tree and said, "Chairman, look at how tall this tree has grown. The branches next to it have already grown out of the courtyard wall. But if you bend the branches back again, this branch will break."

Lu Lixiao raised his head slightly and looked at the dense branches.

Yes, it is growing wildly. If you force its branches to grow only in the courtyard, you have to cut off the excess parts.

He lowered his head and took a sip of tea. He had pushed Lu Xiyan too hard. He had opposed Lu Xiyan and An Ning being together and cut off Lu Xiyan's financial resources. He thought Lu Xiyan would admit her mistake.

But unexpectedly, he was full of pride. Even when life was so difficult that he could only make money by racing, and earning one or two million from a race was still not enough to cover his previous pocket money, he still gritted his teeth and lived with An Ning.

Lu Lixiao was really afraid that he would live like that, so he had to find An Ning. He firmly believed that as long as An Ning left, Lu Xiyan would no longer have to endure that hardship and would return to the Lu family and take over the company naturally.

He sighed deeply, "Ji Xiu, I didn't expect that the thing that has been keeping me uneasy day and night would happen again."

If four years ago, he was worried that An Ning would harm Lu Xiyan, so he insisted on sending her away, then four years later, he was worried day and night because Lu Xiyan knew all the truth.

He was afraid that if Lu Xiyan knew the truth, she would give up everything, stand against him, and become his enemy.

So he had to make up lie after lie.

He even thought about letting An Ning leave again, stay away from her, and never appear in front of Lu Xiyan again.

In this way, Lu Xiyan will never know the truth.

He would follow his arrangement, marry into the Cheng family, win the bet with his second uncle and cousin, and then smoothly take the position of the head of the Lu family.

But the truth will come out one day.

This day has come so early.

Lu Lixiao turned his head to look at the stack of contracts on the tea table not far away.

Every clause is written in black and white with details.

He didn't expect that Lu Xiyan would give up so easily.

The Lu family doesn’t want anything anymore, not even him as their grandfather.

"That's right."

He put down the teacup and looked at Ji Xiu, "Go and find out what happened to An Ning's child."

Ji Xiu asked, "Are you saying that there was something wrong with the paternity test that Miss Cheng brought over last time?"

"Either An Ning is deceiving Xiyan, or Cheng Wanwan is deceiving me." Lu Lixiao said solemnly, "I want to see who is really restless."

......

Yuhe Mansion.

Lu Xiyan hurried upstairs and went straight to the bedroom.

The bedroom door was open. He took a deep breath to adjust his mood, strode in, and suddenly frowned.

"Master?"

The maid was cleaning the room and changing the sheets.

Seeing the man's bad face, she quickly said, "Master, Miss An said she left, and asked me to tell you."

Hearing this, Lu Xiyan's heart trembled violently.

"Gone?"

What does leaving mean?

He asked coldly, "Where did you go?"

The servant was frightened by his expression and shook his head, "I don't know."

When Lu Xiyan heard the word "gone", he seemed to have lost his soul.

Xu Zhijun said that An Ning was living on his last breath.

If she loses this breath, she won't be able to live.

He just pulled her back from the beach, and she left again.

The more Lu Xiyan thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he hurried downstairs.

"Master!"

Li Quan saw him coming down from upstairs in a hurry, "Miss An said she went home first, she——"

Before Li Quan could finish his words, he saw the man rush out, and then the car in the yard started the engine and drove away with a sudden sound.

......

It was almost evening, and the sunset glow from outside the window streamed into the house, shining on the suitcase standing in the living room.

"Xianxian, have you packed up all your toys?"

"Mom, I've packed everything!"

Little Anxian was holding a big cartoon schoolbag, just like he was holding a baby.

"What's in it?" An Ning squatted down, gathered the loose hair hanging by her ears, and asked with a smile.

"These are all Xianxian's favorites!" Little Anxian smiled sweetly, "All the gifts from Xianxian's father are in there."

Zhao Li smiled as she helped pack up, "Xianxian really treasures these gifts. She said she'll take them with her wherever she goes."

She glanced at the almost tidy room and asked An Ning, "Miss An, when will you be back?"

An Ning lowered her eyes and spoke softly, "Let's talk about it later."

The setting sun shone in, and An Ning looked towards the locked room.

That was Li Chunfang's room, and now some of her and Yucan's belongings were placed in it.

An Ning is not going to take it away.

She stood up, took An Xian's hand, and pulled the suitcase over. "Let's go, Xianxian."

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Almost at the same time, the sound of the combination lock being opened was heard again.

The next moment, the door opened.

An Ning took a deep breath and looked at the person who came.

It’s Lu Xiyan.

He was standing outside the door, smelling strongly of cigarettes, his face looked haggard, with shadows under his eyes, and he looked like he hadn't slept for several days and nights.

As soon as Lu Xiyan opened the door, he saw a suitcase standing in the living room.

Sofa, wine cabinet, coffee table...

All furniture was covered with a dust sheet.

Lu Xiyan's body began to tremble uncontrollably, his eyes were red, and his breathing became heavy.
