"Go back and reflect on your actions. Don't come back unless it's absolutely necessary!" The old man gave him the order to leave, annoyed just seeing this unworthy fellow.

"Dad, Qingquan hasn't eaten yet!" Lin Shufang whispered a reminder.

"Eat my ass! I'm already full of anger!" The old man glared at her, dissatisfied. His eldest daughter-in-law was just too unprincipled, a pushover.

Fortunately, Lu Mo is not like his mother; he completely inherited his eldest son's traits, both in appearance and character.

The old man felt a pang of pain in his heart. Of his three sons, he was most proud of his eldest son, who was brave and resourceful and could command battles at a young age. If his eldest son were still alive, the Lu family would never have stopped progressing.

The old man finally saw hope when his eldest grandson took over the business, but then Lu Mo had a leg accident. When the old man learned of Lu Mo's accident, he was so heartbroken that he almost fainted.

He wished it was his own legs that were broken; he would gladly give his life for Lu Mo's legs.

God has been so unfair to his eldest son's family!

Lu Qingquan felt embarrassed and resented the old man. He hadn't done anything wrong, but in front of outsiders, the old man didn't give him any face at all. His mother was right; the old man was biased towards the eldest son's family!

Hmph, the eldest son's family is either dead or crippled. The old man is senile and can't see reality. Now, whether it's the old man or the eldest son's mother and son, they all have to rely on Lu Qingquan for support.

Since that old man is so heartless, don't blame him for being unjust in the future!

"Grandpa, Aunt, Lu Mo, I'm going home now. I'll come back later." There was no point in Lu Qingquan staying any longer, so he said goodbye and left.

Lu Mo nodded slightly but didn't say anything.

He didn't have a deep affection for his cousin. Lu Qingquan would often collude with outsiders to deliberately isolate him, which is why Lu Mo didn't have many friends growing up. He Weishao was the only one, while Ding Ba was someone he made later.

Lin Shufang felt a little guilty and wanted to say nice things to the old man to let Lu Qingquan stay. The weather was so hot, and running around was too tiring. But before she could even open her mouth, Ye Qingqing finished the bowl of mung bean soup in one gulp and handed the empty bowl to Lin Shufang.

"Aunt Fang, I want more!"

"Why……"

Lin Shufang's attention was immediately diverted. She took the empty bowl to the kitchen, no longer caring about Lu Qingquan.

No matter how close her nephew is, he's not as close as her Qingqing!

Lu Qingquan frowned. He had deliberately looked at Lin Shufang earlier, thinking that this old lady was kind-hearted and would definitely feel sorry for him and speak up for him. It would be best if she could stay with him.

Because the old lady remained chaste at a young age, the old man valued her highly and treated her like his own daughter. If Lin Shufang were to plead for her, the old man would certainly consider it.

Lu Qingquan didn't want to go home at all; he wanted to stay with the old man. His friends all lived in the compound, so it would be more convenient for him to move around. Most importantly, he wanted to keep an eye on Ye Qingqing.

This girl's thoughts are unpredictable right now; I can't feel at ease unless I keep an eye on her.

But now...

Lu Qingquan watched helplessly as Lin Shufang went into the kitchen. His plan had failed. He couldn't just stand there forever, with the old man still watching him intently from behind!

We can only go back for now and figure out a solution later!

"Grandpa, I'm going back now. I'll come see you again tomorrow!"

Lu Qingquan said respectfully, gave Ye Qingqing a deep look, and left with his luggage.

The old man shook his head in disappointment, feeling very sad. He didn't want to drive Lu Qingquan away, after all, he had watched Lu Qingquan grow up and they were blood relatives. But Lu Qingquan had disappointed him too much.

Ye Qingqing rolled her eyes and deliberately muttered to herself, "Why doesn't Lu Qingquan go home first?"
