Chapter 79: Happy in vain
On the weekend, Lu Huaizhou and Ye Chuheng returned to the Lu family's old house.
Lu Huaizhou asked Ye Chuheng to chat with Jiang Yinan in the living room, and he went into the study alone with Lu Xiaoling.
Lu Xiaoling folded his hands on the desk and looked at Lu Huaizhou calmly, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Lu Huaizhou was silent for a moment, then released a stream of water from his palm in front of Lu Xiaoling.
Lu Xiaoling immediately jumped up from his chair and looked at Lu Huaizhou's hand in shock, "What is this!"
Lu Huaizhou controlled the water flowing through his fingertips, then raised his eyes and said, "Dad, Ye Chuheng led me on the path of cultivation."
"You have been dealing with those people from the Xuanmen for a long time, so you should be familiar with this term."
It’s not unfamiliar, but Lu Xiaoling has never seen any cultivator who can let go out of his mind out of thin air!
At most, those people were good at fighting and could deal with and transcend unnatural species. He had never seen anyone who could use the power of the five elements.
But Lu Huaizhou didn't know that he had a preconceived notion that anyone who embarked on the path of cultivation would always be the same as gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
"In the future, I will focus more on spiritual practice and won't have that much time to manage the company. To be responsible for the company, hiring a professional manager is the best option."
Lu Xiaoling sat back in his chair and sighed heavily, "Tell me, who is Ye Chuheng?"
He suddenly realized that Ye Chuheng was much more powerful than they saw.
The persistence in his heart was gradually shattered. He also knew clearly that if Ye Chuheng insisted, the Lu family would not be able to keep Lu Huaizhou.
"Dad, Ye Chuheng is not an ordinary person."
"Of course I know he's not an ordinary person. Can an ordinary person have this ability?"
Lu Huaizhou met Lu Xiaoling's eyes and said, "What I mean is that Ye Chuheng came from the upper realm. He doesn't belong here."
Lu Xiaoling clenched his fists, "So he said his family is in heaven?"
"Yes, literally in heaven. Their whole family are immortals, not gone as we thought."
Lu Xiaoling looked at the back of the chair dejectedly, "Huaizhou, I'm not against you going with him. I'm just worried that one day he'll lose his feelings for you, and then your situation will be very difficult."
"But if this is the life you want to pursue, we won't stop you."
"As parents, we only hope that you can be safe and healthy at all times."
Lu Huaizhou was deeply moved. From childhood to adulthood, his family has always been his support.
"Dad, I'm sorry, I may not be able to fulfill my filial duties to you two elders."
"It's okay, your brother is here." Lu Xiaoling said calmly, "Besides, your mother and I are in good health and don't need your care."
"If it doesn't work, there's a babysitter here."
"You and Huaiyang are both doing well, which is the greatest filial piety you can give us."
Although Lu Xiaoling appears serious in front of outsiders, he is actually very easy-going at home.
When Lu Huaizhou was young, he was almost always the one taking care of him when he went to sleep at night.
Because Lu Huaizhou is weak, Lu Xiaoling and Jiang Yinan don't want to leave him to a nanny.
Lu Huaizhou didn't follow the nanny either.
So the couple had to take care of the child themselves.
The father and son had a heart-to-heart talk for more than two hours before Lu Huaizhou left the study.
Lu Xiaoling sat in the study for almost an hour. He only went downstairs when the nanny called him to eat.
At the dinner table, he always stared at Ye Chuheng.
He didn't notice it before, but ever since he knew Ye Chuheng's identity, Lu Xiaoling always felt that there was an indescribable aura about him.
Very mysterious.
At the same time, he also broke Lu Xiaoling's impression of immortals.
In his stereotype, he always thought that immortals were white-bearded old men with a sage-like demeanor.
It turns out there are young people too.
"How old is Xiaoheng this year?" he suddenly asked.
Ye Chuheng was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he suddenly asked about his age, but he answered obediently, "Dad, I'm twenty-five years old."
"Actual age?"
Don’t tell me it’s some thousand-year-old monster.
"Yes, the actual age." Ye Chuheng nodded and put down his chopsticks.
"Then you are one year younger than Huaizhou."
"yes."
Jiang Yinan thought Lu Xiaoling disliked Ye Chuheng's young age, so he interrupted, "Oh, it's about the same. One year is nothing."
"I see Xiao Heng takes very good care of Huai Zhou. His complexion has become much rosier recently."
Ye Chuheng squinted his eyes and smiled, "Huai Zhou is easy to raise."
Then he turned to Jiang Yinan and said, "Mom, I brought some Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng today. You can put some in the soup every week. It's good for your health."
"Don't use too much each time, just one-tenth of a Ganoderma lucidum, once a week."
Jiang Yinan responded with a smile, "Well, I'll listen to Xiaoheng."
She never doubted Ye Chuheng. If he said it was a good thing, then it must be a good thing.
And that big bag is probably enough for them to eat for ten years.
The two of them were discussing health knowledge enthusiastically, and Lu Huaizhou occasionally joined in the conversation.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaoling could only sigh silently. It’s okay, maybe this is fate.
"Huaizhou, Lao Yang is in the hospital. Go to the hospital when you have time."
"Uncle Yang is in the hospital?" Lu Huaizhou turned around in surprise. "Is he sick?"
Lu Xiaoling nodded, "Yes, I was diagnosed with liver cancer a few days ago and am preparing for chemotherapy."
"He helped Huaiyang a lot at work. Huaiyang is not at home. You can go and see him."
Although the Yang family is a political family, they have always been old friends with the Lu family. It is reasonable for Lu Huaizhou to go there.
"I understand. I'll go tomorrow."
"Help wherever you can," Lu Xiaoling reminded him.
Even with chemotherapy, he probably wouldn't be able to last long in the late stage of liver cancer. He hoped Lu Huaizhou could use special means to help Yang Jun.
It would be best if Ye Chuheng was willing to take action.
However, he would not directly ask Ye Chuheng to take action, after all, the two of them were not related.
If Old Yang is not destined to die, Ye Chuheng will lend a hand for Lu Huaizhou's sake.
If Yang Jun doesn't have this opportunity, then forget it.
There was only so much he could do anyway.
Lu Huaizhou nodded, "Okay."
Jiang Yinan moved his chopsticks, but couldn't help asking, "Huaizhou, you should have found out who Huaiyang is dating, right? Tell me about her."
In fact, she wanted to investigate it herself at that time, but Lu Huaizhou said he would handle it, so she did not take any action.
Now so many days have passed and Jiang Yinan hasn't heard Lu Huaizhou talk about it. He can't help it.
"He's a nice person, but he doesn't seem to like my eldest brother." Lu Huaizhou replied.
"I don't like it?" Jiang Yinan's eyes widened. "Why would I want to..."
"Things are a bit complicated. Wait until Big Brother comes back and ask."
Lu Huaizhou didn't know how to explain to Jiang Yinan, so he could only push it to Lu Huaiyang.
Anyway, this is Lu Huaiyang’s own business.
Jiang Yinan suddenly realized that it seemed to be just a one-night stand.
She thought she was going to have an eldest daughter-in-law.
Alas, it was all for nothing.
After dinner, Ye Chuheng and Lu Huaizhou didn’t stay long and prepared to go back.
When leaving, Lu Huaizhou reminded Jiang Yinan again, "Mom, that's Big Brother's business, let's not interfere."
Jiang Yinan pushed them out and said, "Alright, alright, go back. I'm not that free yet."
"Um."
