Lin Mu pretended to be angry, "What are you saying? We are family. Besides, your maternal grandparents are in Jiangnan. It's good for them to go there; it's suitable for their retirement."

Lin Yusheng knew her father was trying to comfort her, and she smiled, but her eyes were red.

This place is full of their family's memories, and they are a little reluctant to leave when they suddenly have to move away.

Moreover, her memories with Lu Zhengye are all here.

Seemingly out of concern for Lin Yusheng's feelings, the move was arranged very quickly.

After Lin Yusheng disappeared, Ah Sheng was taken in and raised by the Lin family.

When Lin Yusheng saw it, she felt comforted, knowing that Lu Zhengye hadn't taken it away.

She took some time to go back to the Luhu Villa area, where all the crabapple blossoms in Lu Zhengye's yard had been cut down.

Even though Lin Yusheng tried her best to restrain herself, she still couldn't help but squat down and cry.

After she finished crying, she saw two people carrying briefcases walk towards her and open the door to Lu Zhengye's villa.

"The owner of this villa sold it at a very low price. Mr. Xu, you've hit the jackpot."

Lin Yusheng didn't have time to think and rushed forward, "Excuse me, are you saying this villa is for sale?"

"That's right, Ai, aren't you Miss Lin? Weren't you neighbors with the original owner? Didn't you know he's already gone?"

Lin Yusheng's face turned pale. She never expected that Lu Zhengye would sell this villa, which was full of their memories.

"Um, I'd like to buy this villa, is that alright?"

The man addressed as General Manager Xu immediately objected, "Shouldn't we follow the order of arrival?"

Lin Yusheng said, "I'll give you a house of similar size in another neighborhood, and I won't charge you a penny."

Mr. Xu stared wide-eyed, seemingly unable to believe that such a good thing could exist in the world.

...

The day the Lin family left Lucheng was sunny.

The family's original housekeeper didn't go with them; Aunt Xu went back to her hometown to visit. Lin Yusheng asked her mother to send her a message to inform her that they had moved, and then the whole family left quietly.

*

In his dream, Lu Zhengye experiences things completely different from his present life; in his dream, he does not fall in love with Lin Yusheng.

Lin Yusheng hated him to the core, mocking and looking down on him in every way.

He didn't like her; instead, he had very complicated feelings for her. He disliked her aggressiveness and arrogance, but this also gave rise to other thoughts: he wanted to conquer her and make her cry under him again.

Later, the once unapproachable young lady knelt at his feet, like a bird with broken wings, having lost all her pride, yet still so beautiful that one could not look away.

The hatred in his heart seemed to disappear at that moment, but he didn't want to have anything to do with her. Out of consideration for their past relationship, he gave her some money.

But in the end, he witnessed her death on the street.

...

These two people don't seem to be Lu Zhengye and Lin Yusheng, but they are definitely them.

Even though Lu Zhengye in his dream didn't seem to have deep feelings for Lin Yusheng, he still opened his eyes with a heavy heart while he was still unconscious.

Wei Qing was peeling an apple, Ji Huai was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, Gu Yanting was leaning on his shoulder as if she had no bones, and Xu Yifan was fast asleep on the sofa.

Seeing that Lu Zhengye was awake, Wei Qing rubbed her eyes in disbelief, which drew a look of disgust from Lu Zhengye.

It wasn't until Lu Zhengye struggled to sit up that Wei Qing suddenly realized, "The eldest brother is awake."

Xu Yifan suddenly stood up, and the three people on the sofa all looked over, their faces filled with surprise.

Wei Qing quickly helped Lu Zhengye up.

How long was I unconscious?

Gu Yanting took Ji Huai's hand and walked to the bedside, saying, "Half a month has passed. Fortunately, Ji Huai used precious Chinese medicine to keep you alive, which bought Dr. Xu time for treatment."

Xu Yifan came to the bedside and asked, "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Lu Zhengye shook his head.

"Boss, you're finally awake! You scared us to death!" Wei Qing was almost in tears.

Lu Zhengye pursed his lips, somewhat disgusted, "Don't do this kind of romantic scene, it's awkward."

Wei Qing held back her tears.

Xu Yifan chuckled, "Looks like everything's alright now."

"And her?"

The atmosphere at the scene froze.

Wei Qing said reluctantly, "As you requested, she has been safely sent back to Lucheng. Now..."

"You don't need to tell me about her anymore," Lu Zhengye said coldly.

Wei Qing was pleased. "Yes, boss."

Lu Zhengye then asked, "What's the situation with the Lu family now?"

Xu Yifan, the attending physician, frowned and said unhappily, "You've just woken up, can you not think about anything?"

Lu Zhengye ignored him and looked directly at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing understood and began to report, "They made a big deal out of your absence from court. Lu Jing has re-entered the business world, and under his leadership, the Lu family has completely turned its fortunes around. They have also announced that they will remove you from the family tree. Their power is at its peak now, and I'm afraid that in a few years, we won't be able to set foot in Lucheng."

Everyone present knew about Lu Zhengye's plan; years of hard work had been ruined in an instant, and everyone was devastated.

But this was Lu Zhengye's choice, and they wouldn't say anything more.

Gu Yanting couldn't stand the somber atmosphere, so he said, "The old man is very worried about you. When you feel better, come back with me to see him."

Lu Zhengye was silent for a while, then said, "I'm afraid that won't work for now. You should leave the Island of the Dead tomorrow. I'm going to carry out a cleanup operation here."

Although the island of the Dead Slave has been unified, there are still many malignant tumors like Puya Village. Cleaning them up will not only take time, but also require a lot of planning.

Lu Zhengye is prepared to stay here for two or three years.

The crowd fell silent. It wasn't that they didn't want to persuade him, but they knew they couldn't.

In fact, given Lu Zhengye's status and abilities, he could have stayed far away from the Island of the Dead, but he chose to change this place more than once.

Wei Qing said, "Boss, there's one more thing."

"explain."

“A-Nian has been kneeling outside for three days and three nights without eating or drinking.”

Wei Qing didn't want Lu Zhengye to bother him right after he woke up, because Wen Nian's body was already too weak to handle it, but he was stubborn and wouldn't listen to anyone's advice.

Sure enough, Lu Zhengye's eyes sharpened, revealing a barely suppressed anger, which quickly dissipated.

He said indifferently, "Have someone knock him out and send him back."

Wei Qing looked up, but ultimately said nothing and went to do it.

Everyone knew perfectly well that Wen Nian just wanted forgiveness, but Lu Zhengye said nothing, neither punishing nor scolding her, which was like stabbing Wen Nian in the heart.

The reason Wen Nian knelt for so long without regard for his life was because he already knew that this whole thing was his fault. He not only mistrusted Jiang Yanqi, but also indirectly harmed Lin Yusheng and his brother.
