Lu Mochuan pulled his clothes up a little tighter and said, "Uncle, let's go home."

A flicker of emotion finally appeared in Lu Jitong's eyes. "Back to the Lu family?"

"yes."

"Hmph! The Lu family is no longer my home." Lu Jitong said this calmly.

"Uncle, what are you saying? Your surname is Lu, so of course you're a member of the Lu family. Grandpa sent me to pick you up and take you home."

When Lu Mochuan mentioned his grandfather, his eyes reddened again.

His life suddenly underwent a dramatic change, and he still finds it hard to accept it.

Lu Jitong's eyes were lifeless, and he only said, "No need. From now on, I will be a stranger to that family."

After he finished speaking, he began to stagger away, preparing to leave.

At that moment, the Rolls-Royce's door opened.

Lu Mochuan had been keeping an eye on the unusual car, and upon hearing the sound, he immediately looked over warily.

After getting out of the car, Wei Qing walked halfway around to the back seat and opened the door.

When Lu Mochuan saw Wei Qing, his eyes widened in disbelief. He knew that Wei Qing was his second brother's special assistant.

After Wei Qing opened the car door, Lu Zhengye got out of the car.

Looking at the weathered man, his first words were, "Lu Jing is dead."

Lu Mochuan's gaze was fixed on Lu Zhengye. He had tried many ways to see his second brother, but his second brother refused to see him.

He never imagined that their first reunion after so many years would be in this place.

Lu Mochuan was speechless for a moment.

A hint of emotion finally appeared in Lu Jitong's cloudy eyes, but not much.

He slowly raised his head to look at Lu Zhengye, and then said, "You're also a member of the Lu family?"

Lu Zhengye does resemble Lu Jiwen by about 50%.

It's not surprising that Lu Jitong came to this conclusion.

Lu Zhengye said, "I have the blood of the Lu family, but I have a blood feud with the Lu family."

Lu Jitong remained silent for a long time before speaking again, "No matter what, I don't want to have anything to do with the Lu family anymore."

He took another step.

"Before Lu Jing died, I told him the truth about the poisoning of the watch back then, and it seems he believed me."

Lu Jitong paused, his thin body beginning to tremble. "You... how did you find out?"

His voice finally changed tone, acquiring some human emotion, no longer sounding like a puppet.

Lu Zhengye said, "Lu Jiwen is not very bright, so his methods are naturally clumsy and not difficult to investigate."

"Hahahaha." Lu Jitong suddenly burst into self-deprecating laughter, but his back became increasingly hunched.

"So it's that simple, that the truth is so easy to uncover, yet no one was willing to believe me even once, including my father, hahaha..."

Lu Mochuan sensed something amiss from the housekeeper's words. He had also speculated about it, but hearing it from his second brother's mouth, he had no doubt whatsoever.

"Brother, are you telling the truth?"

Lu Zhengye glanced at him sideways. Lu Mochuan stood against the wind, looking as if the sky had fallen.

It seems that in the years that followed, the Lu family protected him very well; at least he didn't get a single drop of that dirty water on him.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked such a question.

Lu Zhengye said, "You're not a child anymore; you need to have your own judgment."

"You have a grudge against the Lu family, so why are you coming to see me?" Lu Jitong asked.

"I hope you can join me in giving the evildoers the punishment they deserve."

Lu Jitong straightened his back as he tried to stand up straight. "Lu Jiwen is your father."

Lu Zhengye sneered, "He gave birth to a child but did not raise him. He is not fit to be a parent. He is just the murderer who killed my mother, nothing more."

Lu Jitong stared intently at Lu Zhengye, seemingly trying to find some flaw in his eyes, but found nothing.

Lu Zhengye did not disturb him while he was deep in thought.

Even Lu Mochuan didn't have it.

Finally, he made a decision: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Lu Jitong walked toward Lu Zhengye, and even brushed off the clothes that Lu Mochuan had brought him.

Lu Zhengye gave Wei Qing a look.

Wei Qing took a coat out of the car and put it back on Lu Jitong.

After Lu Jitong got into the car, Lu Mochuan said with red eyes, "Second Brother, do we really have to go this far? Is it really necessary to do this?"

"right."

Lu Mochuan staggered a few steps and almost lost his balance.

“Brother, you are just as important to me as Mom and Dad. If they have done something wrong, let the law judge them.”

Lu Zhengye's heart stirred slightly. The face in front of him overlapped with the innocent face of his childhood, and he felt a pang of pity.

"You're not suited for the business world, there's no need to force yourself. You can go back to where you studied, and if you need money... you can ask me for it."

Lu Mochuan's eyes widened, a mixture of disbelief and delight. "Brother, you don't hate me?"

"There is no enmity between us."

After his initial joy, Lu Mochuan felt a heavy weight in his heart. "Although I know I'm not suited for the business world, as a member of the Lu family, I have a responsibility to take on the family business. But brother, you don't need to worry about me. If the fate of the Lu family is predetermined, then just consider it as me paying off a debt."

He had been supported by the Lu family since childhood and enjoyed their glory, so he had a responsibility to take responsibility when they faced difficulties.

Lu Zhengye knew his dilemma and nodded.

...

The two cars went their separate ways.

Lu Mochuan drank a few bottles of beer at the convenience store, then abandoned his car and walked alone on the sidewalk.

This road is used by vehicles; almost no one uses it.

His shadow was stretched very long by the streetlights, making him appear lonely and helpless.

Lu Mochuan held a suit jacket in one hand and a beer in the other. His phone was on silent, shutting him out of the noise of the world, so he didn't see the dozen or so calls he received from someone whose contact name was "Charming Annoying Person".

Inside a speeding red Ferrari in Lucheng, Han Yuxi angrily threw her phone away.

"You, Lu Mochuan, I've come all this way to find you, and you won't even answer my call! I'm furious! I'm booking my ticket back to China tonight, and you'll never see me again."

She had barely finished speaking when she saw a figure flash by, a figure that looked very familiar.

Han Yuxi found the nearest parking spot and then walked back.

She was very timid, and she felt a little panicked when she couldn't see anyone along the way, but when she thought of that fleeting figure, she gritted her teeth and kept going.

When she finally saw the person, Han Yuxi's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

She stood with her hands on her hips and shouted, "Lu Mochuan!"

Lu Mochuan paused, wondering if he was hallucinating. How could he hear that annoying voice?

He chuckled to himself, thinking that if he had known things would turn out this way, he wouldn't have bothered with her in the first place. Now he doesn't even dare to answer her calls.

He had barely finished thinking that when he received a solid punch to the chest.

"Lu Mochuan, are you trying to get yourself killed? I traveled all this way to find you, and you didn't answer the phone and were drinking here, making me angry for hours."
