Looking at his tall and straight back, Gu Huaibei suddenly had a somewhat unreal feeling.

Was that little boy who was held in Fan Huijun's arms back then really him?

Why has he changed so much in less than two years?

Gu Huaibei had always remembered his clear eyes, which held a hint of shyness, but now, all he saw in those eyes was an unfathomable idiocy and blatant arrogance.

What exactly did he go through?

Can the abuse from one's biological parents and sisters cause such a drastic change in a person?

At the dining table, Gu Huaibei glanced at Lu Yi from time to time.

Huo Xiao kept praising Lu Yi, and would occasionally glance at his disabled son.

Fan Shenglun put a piece of fish on Lu Yi's plate through Fan Shenglun.

"Yi'er, you've grown quite a bit taller, but you're still a bit thin. If you have time, go to Fengcheng for a while, and I'll have someone take good care of you!"

Huo Jingxi raised an eyebrow and said, "They don't lack fathers. I'm right next to you, and you never even put a piece of meat on my plate!"

Fan Shenglun picked up Huo Xiao's piece of fish, put it in his own bowl, and then picked up another piece for Lu Yi.

"Jingxi is right, we both love to eat fish too!"

Everyone burst into laughter at the dinner table.

Ruan Jiaojiao quietly picked out the fish bones, and the tender white fish meat was piled up on the plate like a small mountain.

But she didn't have the courage to hand it to Lu Yi.

When they were inseparable, she always took care of picking out the fish bones for him.

Although Lu Yi didn't eat, she at least had a chance to perform.

Now, things are really messed up, with Gu Keke stuck in the middle...

Gu Keke's meals at home are specially customized for her by a nutritionist, focusing on light flavors. She rarely gets to eat fish with strong flavors.

As he was picking up fish bones, he caught a glimpse of the plate in front of Ruan Jiaojiao out of the corner of his eye.

She smiled and moved closer, "Sister Jiaojiao, why aren't you eating?"

Ruan Jiaojiao secretly glanced at Lu Yi, "I don't like to eat fish."

Gu Keke reached out and picked up the plate. "Okay, I want to eat. I love fish the most, just like Lu Yi!"

Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to stop her, but Gu Keke, looking rather greedy, had already started eating.

"Here's the steak, I'm tired of eating this steak."

Gu Keke pushed the untouched steak in front of Ruan Jiaojiao.

They ate the fish meat in big mouthfuls.

Lu Yi was talking to Fan Shenglun and didn't see what was happening.

Ruan Jiaojiao picked up a large piece of steak with her chopsticks and tore it apart forcefully.

Fan Huijun handed the child, who was fast asleep amidst laughter, to the nanny. Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao glaring at Lu Yi with a resentful expression, she couldn't help but nudge Gu Huaibei with her elbow.

Just then, Gu Keke suddenly laughed.

"Sister Jiaojiao, my second brother got dumped. Why don't you marry him and become my sister-in-law!"

Ruan Jiaojiao took a big bite of steak, completely stunned.

The others stopped talking and looked at the two of them.

"Coco, stop fooling around!"

They all took Coco's words as a joke, and no one took them seriously.

Only Ruan Jiaojiao blushed like a ripe tomato.

After dinner, Gu Keke dozed off.

After seeing Huo Xiao and his group off, Lu Yi carried her to his bedroom.

Gu Keke was completely unguarded around Lu Yi. She turned over, hugged the blanket, and fell asleep.

In the study, Fan Shenglun and his daughter sat down for a heart-to-heart talk.

Fan Huijun was eating melon seeds, just like she was before she got married.

Fan Shenglun brought a cup of hot milk and placed it on the small tea table next to her legs.

“You can’t be in Cao’s camp with your heart in Han. I made that very clear before you decided to marry Gu Huaibei.”

"Either you stay here with the child, and you continue to manage the company business as before, and raise Yi'er well!"

"And what happened? The Gu family handed over the management of the household to you with just a few words, and you just abandoned us, father and son, and left. Now you know how painful it is!"

Fan Huijun couldn't stand hearing her father say this.

She's kicking herself now, but if she had to choose again, she'd still do the same thing.

"Dad, don't blame me. So many people in the Fan family don't respect Yi'er, and they're just trying to make things difficult for you."

"If you're not going to help him, fine, but why are you going against him? A few hundred million isn't a few thousand or trillion. Just consider it as him practicing his skills, what's wrong with that?"

"I did the math, and his annual income has already surpassed that of Huainan. You have no idea how anxious President Gu is in private; that's why he's keeping Huainan at home for training!"

Fan Huijun has a long-term vision.

If she stays at home, Lu Yi will never have the opportunity to stand on his own.

Although the company's older employees acknowledged him as their young master, they still felt somewhat distant from Fan Huijun, their direct successor.

She had to make room for Lu Yi so that he could showcase his talents sooner.

Only in this way can he achieve that five-year plan!

Fan Shenglun held his teacup and thought for a moment.

"But nobody's optimistic about drones. Even Huo Xiao, that old man with a sharp eye, has backed out this time!"

He originally had great confidence in Lu Yi.

Now, she didn't know how to bring it up with Lu Yi.

"Dad, you are Yi'er's father, but President Huo is not. Just because he doesn't support your son doesn't mean you won't support him either."

"If that's your attitude, I think it would be better to return Lu Yi to the Lu family. At least right now, the Lu family needs a young talent like him to lead the way!"

Fan Huijun has always been straightforward with her father.

Hearing this from outside the door, Lu Yi couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Lu Baofei's funds are firmly controlled by the Huo family, making it impossible for her to invest in projects other than medical devices.

Unless Huo Jingxi agrees.

However, Huo Jingxi was determined to win this drone project and would definitely not let Lu Baofei do as she pleased.

Several major shareholders of Green Willow Capital are watching with bated breath.

As soon as the news of Gong Che's participation in the Fengcheng Charity Gala next month comes out, they will definitely flock there.

At that time, the banquet will likely be tense and hostile.

The battles between financial giants may be bloodless, but after the storm, countless companies either suddenly rise to prominence or collapse and are liquidated.

Judging from the current situation, he still has to get past Fan Shenglun first.

Otherwise, the core technologies acquired by the Fan family would soon be stolen without anyone noticing.

This cutting-edge technology product may seem useless at first glance, but once everyone sees the results, they will understand.

Drones are all about technology!

For companies with strong technical capabilities, securing funding is a breeze.

It is absolutely no less impressive than the Huo family's rapid expansion of their current business empire, which was like a siphoning machine in a short period of time.

Gu Huaibei was about to call Fan Huijun when he saw Lu Yi standing in the corridor and quickly greeted him.

Why don't you go in?

Lu Yi raised his hand and knocked on the door. "I just arrived too, I was just about to come in!"

When Fan Huijun saw the two of them coming one after the other, she got up and pulled Lu Yi to the heater.

"Yi'er, have some nuts."

Seeing her adjusting her coat, Gu Huaibei seized the opportunity to say, "We should go back too. There's a meeting at the company tonight, and Dad and Huainan will be attending..."

Fan Huijun really wanted to say that she wanted to stay overnight.

Seeing her father's indifferent expression, she still nodded.

"Dad, Yi'er, we'll be going now..."
