As the long-lost son of the Lu family in Jiangzhou, Lu Yi originally thought this was heaven's favor upon him, but the truth was far from it.
Seventeen years of destitution did not earn h...
He had no personal belongings.
He refused all the gifts the Lu family offered him.
The clothes she was wearing were all hand-washed, dried, folded, and placed in the closet by her adoptive mother several years ago when she was still alive.
He selected several sets to take with him at the time, and now he has brought them all back intact.
There were still many clothes hanging neatly in the wardrobe, enough for him to wear until he grew up.
Although the total value of all these clothes is less than the price of a single shirt bought by one's biological parents.
But in his eyes, this is what his parents truly cherish and love for him.
Looking around, he suddenly felt that something was missing.
Seeing the empty long table against the wall in the living room, I suddenly remembered that I had put my adoptive parents' portraits under my pillow last night, but I forgot to take them with me in my haste this morning.
He hurriedly went downstairs, grabbed a bicycle, and rushed back home.
...
At the Lu family's dining table, Qin Fengying looked at the empty seats and couldn't help but grumble.
"That kid was spoiled rotten. Luckily you had the foresight to keep him a secret from our relatives, otherwise our family would have been utterly disgraced!"
Lu Han sat obediently to the side, took the bowl handed to her by the nanny, and placed it in front of Lu Zhengming first.
Seeing this, Qin Fengying looked pleased.
"Look at Han'er, how filial he is! This is the kind of upbringing our son should have!"
Lu Baoyun, wearing a loose T-shirt, yawned and slowly walked down the stairs.
She glanced around the hall and asked curiously, "Hasn't Lu Yi gotten up yet? He didn't eat dinner last night..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Baoqi limped into the room.
She kicked off her shoes, threw her bag on the sofa, and began to rub her ankle while making soft, whimpering noises.
Lu Han's eyes darted around, and she gestured for the nanny to get the first-aid kit.
She stepped forward and asked with concern, "Third Sister, didn't you say last night that you were going to audition with the director today? Why are you back so soon?"
It would have been better if he hadn't asked; his question immediately brought tears to Lu Baoqi's eyes.
"It's all because of Lu Yi. He messed with me first thing this morning, causing me to lose a role and even sprain my ankle!"
Just then, the nanny handed over the first-aid kit.
Lu Han took out some liniment, squeezed it onto her fingertips, and gently rubbed it on her, deliberately steer the conversation towards Lu Yi.
"Third sister, are you mistaken? Brother hasn't even gotten out of bed yet, how could he possibly harm you!"
His suggestive words made Qin Fengying realize something in an instant. She raised her chin and said, "Aunt Wu, go check the backyard!"
Wu Ma responded and left.
She came running back a moment later, her voice trembling with anxiety, "Something terrible has happened! Young Master has disappeared!"
Lu Zhengming asked loudly, "What do you mean by 'disappeared'?"
Wu Ma gestured as she explained.
"His blankets were neatly arranged on his bed, and his clothes were all hanging on hangers. I couldn't find his usual items and backpack on his desk no matter how hard I looked!"
"Also, the thick clothes that the young master wore when he first came back, which were always on the bedside table, are gone now. He probably took them with him!"
Everyone stopped what they were doing in shock and looked at each other in disbelief.
Lu Han was overjoyed!
That guy shouldn't have come back!
There can only be one true young master of the Lu family, and that can only be Lu Han!
With four older sisters, each with their own distinct temperament and personality, establishing oneself in this family is no easy feat.
Even if you gave him another five years, let alone six months, Lu Yi would never gain recognition!
Lu Baoqi touched her swollen ankle, her hatred surging.
"No wonder I felt something was off about him earlier; he was doing it on purpose!"
"Mom and Dad, I kindly asked him where he was going, but he wouldn't tell me. I asked him why he wasn't following the rules, and guess what he said?"
"He actually mocked me, saying that the rules of our Lu family have nothing to do with him. I'm so angry!"
Qin Fengying shook her head helplessly, "If he followed the rules, he wouldn't have left without saying goodbye!"
I really don't know how the Lu family raised their children.
"Could my brother have gone to school?"
Lu Han seized the opportunity to pretend to be very worried.
Lu Baoyun quickly shook her head, "Impossible, it's summer vacation now."
Lu Zhengming stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
He paused abruptly, then raised his hand and beckoned.
"Old Wang, drive out and look for him. Once you find him, don't ask him anything. Just bring him back to me!"
Old Wang was a middle-aged man who was older than Lu Zhengming and had a wealth of life experience.
His first thought was kidnapping or abduction... Normal parents would call the police first before looking for their child.
Why is the whole family so busy venting their frustrations first?
Realizing that he shouldn't cause trouble for his employer at this time, he quickly shut his mouth and nodded.
"Uncle Wang, wait a minute!"
Lu Baoyun grabbed the car keys first, "Dad, let me go. Lu Yi isn't familiar with Uncle Wang, so he probably won't listen to him."
Lu Han, seemingly lost in thought, took Lu Baoyun's arm and sensibly tried to persuade Lu Zhengming.
"Dad, I'll go with my fourth sister. My brother might be angry with me. I'll go apologize to him, and he might come back once he calms down. The one who tied the knot must untie it!"
