While Lu Yu and Qin Wan were talking, a rapid phone ring suddenly broke the silence in the room.
Lu Yu took the phone expressionlessly. Just as he uttered the word "Hello", a string of words poured out from the other side like a machine gun:
"Lu Yu! Every Lu family celebrates New Year's Day at the Mei family's house. You remember this tradition, don't you? But yesterday, you were nowhere to be seen! Do I have to invite you repeatedly and beg you to come?"
Hearing this, Lu Yi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile full of irony. He responded bluntly:
"Ms. Mei, although we haven't publicly stated this, the truth is that there is no so-called mother-son relationship between us. I'm sure you know this clearly. If that's the case, then for the Mei family, since we're not mother and son, why should I go and join in the fun?"
"You... Lu Yu! Have all those sage books you've read over the years been lost? Do you even have the slightest idea of respecting elders and caring for the younger? Tell me clearly today, are you coming or not?"
Mei Huarong's furious roar came again from the other end of the phone, as if the whole city could hear her roar.
However, facing such questioning, Lu Yu's attitude was extremely firm, and he answered without hesitation:
“No!”
Just two simple words, but they hit the other person's heart like a heavy hammer.
"You... Lu Yu!"
Mei Huarong's roar was deafening and almost pierced Lu Yu's eardrum.
Seeing this, Lu Yu frowned slightly and moved the phone away from his ear to avoid being bombarded by the noise.
However, to Lu Yu's surprise, there was no deafening roar as he had expected. Instead, a gentle, slightly deep voice slowly reached his ears.
"Lu Yu, no matter what, you have the same blood as us flowing in your body. This is an unchangeable fact. To be honest, we don't really want to see you, but now that things have come to this, what can we do? After all, you are the father of those four little guys! So, you should come back for the sake of the children's future."
Hearing these words, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a strong sense of disgust in his heart.
He had long detested Lu Dongsheng's hypocritical and cunning face, and felt extremely disgusted every time he saw it. But facing this hateful guy, he was helpless and had no idea how to deal with it.
Helplessly, Lu Yu had no choice but to bite his cheeks tightly, suppressing the anger in his heart, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:
"Okay, stop nagging me! I'll go, we'll get there, okay?" After saying that, he hung up the phone angrily, as if this could completely isolate him from the annoying voice.
Early in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Wan got up early as the sky in the east was just beginning to turn pale.
After carefully washing and dressing, she put on the bright red coat that Lu Yu had chosen for her. The coat was well-cut and had smooth lines, which made Qin Wan's already fair skin look even more crystal clear and delicate.
And that bright red color is like a flame in winter, making Qin Wan exude an indescribable charm, as if her whole body is filled with the joy and happiness unique to the New Year.
At the same time, Lu Yu also quickly tidied himself up.
He was dressed in a simple and elegant casual suit, neat and tidy yet elegant. A gentle smile always hung on his handsome face, especially when he looked at his beautiful wife beside him, his eyes were filled with love and doting, as if she was the only one in the world.
After everything was ready, Aunt Yu sat in the passenger seat, while Lu Yu and Qin Wan each held two children and sat in the back seat. The large stroller was placed in the trunk.
Xiao Liu was driving today. After everyone was seated, he stepped on the accelerator and set off for Lu Yu's hometown - Lu Dongsheng's home.
Along the way, Qin Wan and Lu Yu smiled at each other from time to time. Although they did not communicate much in words, the deep understanding and affection between them had already been conveyed to each other through their eyes, and they could understand each other without any words of explanation.
From time to time, bursts of crackling firecrackers could be heard outside, one after another, without stopping; from time to time, colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, swaying and dazzling.
Half an hour later, Lu Yu and his friends finally arrived at their destination - Lu Dongsheng's home.
Before entering the house, you can hear the singing and laughter coming from afar.
As soon as the door was opened, everyone's faces were filled with bright smiles, and they all welcomed Lu Yu and the others.
But Qin Wan felt that their welcome should be for Lu Yu. Although they greeted him with a smile, she could still feel the perfunctory and indifference.
Lu Dongsheng is Lu Yu's biological father. He looks quite wise and intelligent. His face is always filled with a kind and benevolent smile. He is the image of a respected elder.
When he saw his son and daughter-in-law returning, his face, which was already full of smiles, became as bright and dazzling as a flower blooming in spring, and his kind smile seemed to be able to melt everything in the world.
He smiled and nodded at Qin Wan, then stared at Lu Yu's face intently, his eyes filled with deep relief and undisguised pride.
"Yu'er, you have grown up now. You are really a promising young man with great potential!"
Lu Dongsheng's voice trembled slightly, as if he was too excited to control himself. His words were filled with deep and endless pride and love for his son.
However, Lu Yu was not fooled by this superficial effort. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, piercing through his father's seemingly sincere disguise and seeing through his true thoughts deep in his heart. He asked coldly:
"Tell me, why did you have to call us back?"
