When Lu Xizhou entered, the Lu family villa was already bustling with people.
"Xi Zhou is back? Your parents said you went back to Sicheng a few days ago, but they haven't seen you these past few days?"
"Xi Zhou, you'll be a year older after the New Year. It's time to start thinking about important life events. You can't just play around like before anymore..."
“Xi Zhou…”
Before Lu Xizhou could even call for help, all the relatives and friends chimed in.
As the prelude to the New Year's Eve gala played on television, the festive atmosphere of Lunar New Year's Eve began.
Lu Hongfeng is kind.
Yu Wanqing is gentle.
Except that Lu Xizhou wasn't as talkative as in previous years, everything was the same as before.
It was as if the argument that day had never happened.
After dinner, a card table was set up in the living room.
Even his nephews and nieces, who were still in high school, started playing cards like adults, but Lu Xizhou waved them off without any interest and took the kids to the yard to set off fireworks.
As the clock struck the hour, the servants cooked dumplings. Some people found golden peanuts in their dumplings, while others found gold coins.
Another lively scene ensued.
The party ended, the dumplings were finished, and the card game was over.
As the luxury cars drove away one after another, Yu Wanqing finally felt relieved after watching her son, who had stood by her side the whole time.
"It's so late, don't go back..."
Glancing at the car taillights disappearing into the night, Lu Hongfeng patted Lu Xizhou on the shoulder, "Stay at home tonight."
"good!"
Lu Xizhou nodded.
Back in the living room, Lu Xizhou handed two cards to the couple, saying, "Dad, Mom, this is a gift from your son!"
Both husband and wife declined.
Lu Xizhou laughed, "Keep it. This is my own money. Dad, please smoke less. You can have Aunt Ming make you ginseng tea every day with the ginseng slices I brought back. Mom, I ordered a bag for you at the boutique. They said the color you like has to be shipped from Paris. It will be delivered to you on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Please remember to check it then!"
Lu Xizhou hugged Lu Hongfeng, then hugged Yu Wanqing, and pointed upstairs, "Well, I'm going back to my room to sleep! ...Goodnight, Dad, Mom!"
He hasn't mentioned Qin Chu once since he entered the house today. Even when his relatives told him to be more mature now that he's a year older, he agreed to everything.
Now, she looks at her son, and then at her husband, who also looks relieved.
Yu Wanqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Is this... a sign of backing down?
Watching Lu Xizhou walk up the escalator and into his room on the second floor, Yu Wanqing showed the most comfortable smile of the night.
Neither the couple slept that night.
Lu Hongfeng said that since his son had compromised, he would send someone else to the Brazil project after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and let Lu Xizhou stay in Sicheng to prepare to take over the company.
Yu Wanqing said that since there are many banquets and social engagements during the holidays, she wants to take her son out more often to try and find him a wealthy socialite he likes. This time, she will definitely respect his opinion.
In short, her son must not be wronged.
As they chatted, they started talking about Lu Xizhou's childhood.
As the room, shrouded in night, gradually turned frosty white, the couple exchanged a glance, then got out of bed with amusement on their faces.
The first day of the Lunar New Year.
New Year, new look.
Lu Hongfeng brewed ginseng tea, and Yu Wanqing made coffee.
"Wanqing!"
As the exclamation rang out, Yu Wanqing put down her cup and went to the study, where she met Lu Hongfeng's shocked and pale face.
She had been married to Lu Hongfeng for 30 years, and the last time she saw him like this was when her mother-in-law, Madam Lu, passed away.
Yu Wanqing was startled and looked in the direction of Lu Hongfeng's gaze, where she saw a thick stack of books on the desk.
bank card.
Property ownership certificate.
Vehicle registration certificate.
Equity transfer agreement.
Agreement on the transfer of legal person status of several companies under my name.
And a company development plan he wrote himself.
As they picked up the papers one by one, Lu Hongfeng and Yu Wanqing saw the letter at the very bottom.
Dad, Mom:
This is everything you've given me since I was a child.
The only exception was the racing club, which I founded using the first pot of gold I made in the stock market during my years at Harvard; I didn't spend any of my family's money.
Dad, I'm not cutting ties with my family, nor am I running away from home. Although in your eyes, I should be 30 this year and have already lived half my life, for me, every day is a new beginning, if I want to. Even starting from scratch, I believe I can live a good life. I'll prove it to you!
I'm flying to Brazil the day after tomorrow. I'm in charge of that project, and I'll be responsible for it until it's finished. Don't worry, my son won't let you down or cause any problems!
Mom, you gave me life and raised me; I can never repay you in several lifetimes. Therefore, from now on, your son will be doubly filial to you!
I love you, I love Dad, I love this family. But I also love Qin Chu!
Life is neither long nor short. But with her, I feel that no matter how hard my life is, it's all worthwhile!
Because she deserves it!
Respectfully presented by Erxi Zhou
Seeing that he said he wasn't severing ties or running away from home, Lu Hongfeng's shocked expression eased considerably.
Yu Wanqing's pale complexion improved somewhat.
When they called back, a cold female voice on the other end told them that the other party's phone was switched off.
Her legs gave way and Yu Wanqing slumped onto the sofa.
...
At the arrival gate of the capital airport, Qin Chu looked around anxiously, his heart pounding.
Reason told her that Lu Xizhou had said he would arrive by noon at the latest, so he would definitely arrive.
But his phone has been switched off since last night.
The thought of something unpredictable happening made Qin Chu's already uneasy heart even more anxious.
