Lu Yi no longer wanted to get involved in whether the Lu family members lived or died.

Besides, the Lu family's current situation has nothing to do with him.

Why should he rush to become some kind of "saintly ruler"?

Lu Han is risking his life, dragging the Lu family down a path of destruction. At this point, they should be pinning their hopes on Lu Han.

That was the young master of the Lu family, whom they all cherished and doted on.

Seeing his listless expression, Fan Shenglun didn't try to persuade him any further.

As he walked to the door, he said, "Let's do it on the day of the ceremony, so you'll have some confidence... Don't say anything out of spite, people are people you'll only see once in a lifetime!"

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and wanted to see him downstairs.

Without turning his head, he stopped him, saying, "Think it over yourself, you're an adult!"

He's an adult now!

He felt like he'd heard those words somewhere before.

Looking at Fan Shenglun's swaying back, the old bridge he had passed by as a child suddenly came to mind.

Though covered in the dust of history, it arches its back and supports the main thoroughfare of a city.

Lonely yet resolute!

Unconsciously, the image of my adoptive father's back in my memory faintly overlapped with the old man in front of me.

"dad……"

Lu Yi felt a lump in his throat. Hearing the footsteps of his employees, he quickly turned his face away and hurried towards his office.

...

The company's office is located next to Fan's, just across the street from Fan's headquarters building.

It's impossible to keep a low profile; the sheer number of luxury cars alone attracted a large number of car enthusiasts who came to watch the spectacle.

A bright red carpet with gold foil patterns stretched for hundreds of meters, and flower baskets lined up from the company entrance all the way to the Fan family headquarters.

Lu Yi wasn't as happy as he had imagined.

He got up early, took a bath, and went to the memorial tablets of his adoptive parents and uncle, where he talked for a long time.

Once they were out, they forgot all those words.

Fan Shenglun wore a navy blue suit, and the old man had his hair neatly combed.

"Yi'er, your father is going today too, but I can't steal your thunder."

Lu Yi felt a lump in his throat, opened his mouth, but before he could speak, his eyes were already wet.

Fan Shenglun looked at him in the mirror, his hand, which was adjusting his tie, paused.

"Good boy, you are the best!"

There's a saying that goes, "The clouds in life will always turn into an umbrella, sheltering you from the wind and rain..."

"You're much better than your sister who's always busy with her husband and kids. That troublesome girl has eaten so many meals at the Fan family's house, but she didn't even show her face at such a big event!"

Before Lu Yi's tears could fall, he was amused by the man's blustering yet cowardly demeanor.

Just then, a figure flashed in through the doorway.

"Who's making such a racket so early in the morning? You gave birth to me, so what's wrong with me eating your food? Do you want to leave me out there for over ten years, waiting until I can earn my own food before you bring me back?"

Fan Huijun shoved the gift in her hand into the hands of Butler Hua.

Butler Hua's eyelids were twitching, but Fan Huijun pretended not to notice.

She walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa, pouting.

"Dad, it's too late in this life. I'm already so old. I can't possibly give back what I've taken from you. Maybe in the next life!"

She glared at Lu Yi resentfully, pouted, and said, "In my next life, I'll suffer for Yi'er!"

After saying that, she couldn't help but grin.

Fan Shenglun was left helpless by her rapid-fire retort.

While tidying Lu Yi's clothes, she muttered to herself.

"See? I knew she couldn't be trusted. I told you so!"

"It has to be Yi'er. I knew it was me the moment I saw you... You have the same charm I had back then!"

Lu Yi laughed from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps this is the meaning of having family.

A true family will not hate each other to the point of life and death because of a single word, a single glance, or even a single action.

They wouldn't prejudge someone as a bad person just because nothing has happened.

Even when they exchange harsh words, they can still understand how much they care about each other.

Lu Yi hugged Fan Shenglun tightly, "Dad, thank you!"

Fan Shenglun stiffened, patted his back, and said, "We're family, so don't say thank you. Without you, I might not want to live anymore!"

Fan Huijun sniffled as she walked forward and opened her arms to hug the two of them.

"Are you tired of living and don't want to live anymore, or are you unable to let go of the fact that you don't want to live? Humph, I'm angry!"

Fan Shenglun's gaze lingered on her cheek.

"You've never been serious since you were little. Now you're a mother, and you still think you're three years old. Come on, stop dawdling..."

Watching the three leave, chatting and laughing, Butler Hua's face lit up with joy.

Excitedly, he quickly urged everyone to prepare a family feast.

...

Gong Che closed his eyes to rest.

He didn't say a word all the way from Fengcheng.

The driver was used to it and just kept driving steadily.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Liang Shiyue secretly glanced back a few times and muttered softly, "Is Mr. Gong asleep?"

The driver shook his head, signaling her to keep quiet.

Liang Shiyue misunderstood, thinking that he didn't know either.

Noticing the road sign outside the window, Liang Shiyue realized that she would be there in a few minutes, so she coughed softly.

"That Mr. Gong..."

The person in the back seat didn't even lift their eyelids. "You can see him if you want, but only for ten minutes."

Liang Shiyue's expression froze for a moment, and she hurriedly explained.

"I didn't mean that. I just wanted to ask for two hours off to go home."

Previously, the Fan siblings were worried that she couldn't handle it and kept persuading her not to go back.

After a few days, she felt she had adjusted her mindset and was able to face the cruel reality of her mother's passing.
