The flight attendant brought the meal, but Lu Yi had no appetite.

Gu Keke, however, ate with her mouth full of oil.

The feeling of growing up facing the sun is wonderful. The thought of possibly growing old with Lu Yi makes her feel that the world is unbelievably beautiful.

Even the pork belly, which I usually dislike, tasted different to me.

"Coco, stop eating! You can't eat so much at once!"

Gu Huainan took her chopsticks away and used a napkin to wipe her mouth.

Sometimes, I really feel sorry for Lu Yi.

His pampered younger sister never lifts a finger, and even with a nanny and housekeeper to take care of her, Lu Yi still has to worry about her a lot.

What's the point of marrying her?

Given that she's mentally unstable and constantly disrupts our peaceful lives, what about her?

Gu Keke pouted, "Second brother, you're so mean. Are you jealous because I ate Lu Yi's share?"

Gu Huainan flicked her head. "What are you thinking? I'm not like you, a big glutton!"

Watching the siblings bicker, Lu Yi suddenly wondered if his personality would change if he got along this well with the Lu family's older sisters.

At least, life would be much simpler, and I wouldn't have to worry so much as I do now...

Ha, what am I thinking? I'm beyond help!

Outside the window, layers of clouds looked like plump cotton balls. I could hear the Gu siblings playing around, but my mind was filled with a jumble of worries.

Lu Yi felt a sense of dissonance that felt somewhat unreal.

Was he reborn, or did he go to another world and become another person named Lu Yi?

When will all this trouble finally end...?

"Your second brother is calling you!"

Gu Keke leaned forward and waved her hand in front of his eyes a few times.

Lu Yi snapped out of his daze. "What?"

Gu Huainan gathered the lunch boxes together and handed them to the arriving flight attendant. "I heard you went to someone in the Gong family's birthday banquet?"

Lu Yi sat up straight, picked up the blanket beside him, and draped it over Gu Keke.

If I'm not mistaken, the person yawning next to me will soon be drifting off to sleep again.

Fortunately, she didn't have any adverse reactions at this high altitude, otherwise the journey would have been very difficult.

Gu Huainan lowered his voice, "Gong Che's uncle is not someone to be trifled with. Although he himself doesn't hold any official position, all his children are very capable!"

“My dad used to always say that people were scheming and manipulative. Look, my brother has gone down that path too.”

Lu Yi understood immediately; that was what he meant.

It's probably Gu Yan who made him ask that question.

Gu Huaibei needs a powerful backer. If he can get on the Gong family's side through Gong Che's connections, his future will be secure.

In some circles, once you enter, you'll find yourself unable to control your own destiny at crucial moments.

Gu Huaibei wasn't going in to be cannon fodder.

Lu Yi lowered his body, placed Gu Keke's drooping head on his shoulder, and nodded.

"Old Huo has some conflicts with the Gong family, but that's all in the past. Now that the Huo family is so powerful, Old Huo definitely wants Huo Jingxi to have a stronger backing."

"By the way, I saw your older brother at the banquet, but he was standing far away and I didn't have a chance to say hello."

Hearing this, Gu Huainan clicked his tongue and said, "He mentioned it, and said that when you and Gong Che were standing next to the old man, he wasn't even qualified to go up and offer a toast..."

Lu Yi was taken aback, then smiled.

"It's not a matter of eligibility. It's just that too many families received invitations this time. Halfway through the toasts, the elders felt unwell and went back to their rooms."

“Brother-in-law must be overthinking it. No wonder my second brother and I didn’t see him when we looked for him.”

Gu Huaibei is thin-skinned.

Standing at a distance, I couldn't hear clearly and thought the butler's words had a hidden meaning, so I couldn't stay any longer.

In fact, Lu Yi didn't stay for very long.

Gong Che was worried that Huo Jingxi might say something inappropriate, so he led them to show their faces in front of the old man and then sent them away.

Neither of them got to eat at the table.

After hearing Lu Yi's explanation, Gu Huainan raised his eyebrows. "I knew it. People wouldn't be so ignorant of such etiquette. I'll talk to my brother about it later, so he won't have any grudges."

He has a straightforward personality and doesn't hide anything.

Lu Yi smiled calmly and subtly changed the subject.

"The Lu Group has been gaining momentum lately, what's your opinion?"

Gu Huainan suppressed his embarrassment and cautiously said, "I'm itching to buy it myself, so naturally I want to get rid of it as soon as possible and make a profit!"

"But I know it's not the right time yet..."

It was his first time doing something like this behind someone's back, and he wasn't sure he was up to the task.

Especially when his elder brother and father talked about the Lu family at the dinner table, he felt guilty and dared not interrupt.

He was afraid of revealing even the slightest flaw and ruining Lu Yi's plans.

Lu Yi glanced at the time on his wrist, estimating Gong Che's progress, "Almost there, just two more days and I'll let you earn more!"

Seeing his confidence, Gu Huainan felt a sense of relief.

"Okay, once we make money, I'll give you 50% of the profits!"

Lu Yi gently touched Gu Keke's forehead, his palm sinking down as he felt her soft breathing.

"Invest in my company's stock, and I'll help you make big money..."

Gu Huainan chuckled a few times. He had been thinking about this for a while, but he just didn't know how to bring it up.

...

Having been entrusted by the Gu family, Wang Jun had no need to stay in Jiangzhou.

He found the medical team ahead of time, as planned, and after some inquiries, he learned that the "strange guest" had already been "borrowed" by a large hospital.

Several other people also left the group at the same time, and they didn't know where "Lu Baozhi" that Wang Jun mentioned was now.

When Wang Jun produced the photos published in the magazine, the person in charge's expression changed, and he said he knew nothing about it.
