Lu Yu's face was as gloomy as water, his eyes were as sharp as torches, and he asked coldly:
"Tell me, why did you have to call us back? Is there something serious between us that can't be resolved over the phone or through other means?"
His voice seemed to be wrapped in frost, making the air around him seem to condense.
As soon as Lu Yu said this, the originally noisy atmosphere full of laughter and joy seemed to have been paused, and instantly became silent.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and everyone was stunned by Lu Yu's cold and sharp words.
Mei Huarong, who was sitting beside him, slammed the table, his eyes wide open, and shouted:
"Lu Yu, you're now considered a regimental-level cadre, how come you don't even have the most basic qualities and manners? You're so rude to your elders!"
After Qin Wan heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart:
"Elders? Humph, even if they are elders, so what? Elders should always behave like elders! As the saying goes, a loving father is the only way for a filial son. If a father is not loving, how can we expect his son to be filial? Everything should be done according to the rules!"
Although he was dissatisfied, Qin Wan pursed his lips and stood there without saying a word.
She was like a bystander, watching the farce happening in front of her coldly, without showing the slightest desire to intervene.
It wasn't that she didn't want to help Lu Yu, but after all, this matter was just an internal Lu family affair. What did it have to do with an outsider like her? What's more, she still hadn't been recognized by Mei Huarong and didn't even have the status of a legitimate daughter-in-law!
She pursed her lips. She saw and remembered all the neglect and contempt those people showed her.
If it wasn't for Lu Yu, with her hot temper, she would have slapped them long ago, and would have beaten them into the wall, and she would have made sure that they couldn't get out even if they wanted to!
However, she knew very well in her heart that her Yu was not the kind of spineless person who could be easily manipulated by others.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan turned her head slightly, winked gently at Aunt Yu and Xiao Liu who were standing quietly behind her, and secretly gave them a look, indicating that they should not rush to move the stroller downstairs.
Based on her understanding of Lu Yu, it probably wouldn't take long before they could pack up and go home.
Lu Yu seemed to be deaf to Mei Huarong's angry rebuke. His eyes, as sharp as an eagle's, were fixed on his father Lu Dongsheng like nails from beginning to end, and he didn't even blink.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to get a clear and convincing answer from his father - what was the reason why he summoned them back so urgently.
Indeed, Lu Yu despised his father's actions to the extreme.
No matter when, the father always habitually hides behind the woman, letting his wife charge forward, while he himself shrinks back and does not take any responsibility at all.
Such behavior is truly a disgrace to men.
However, facing Lu Yu's direct and merciless questioning, Lu Dongsheng unexpectedly remained extraordinarily calm and composed.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile that seemed amiable but actually contained a hidden meaning. He slowly spoke:
"Do I even need to explain why I called you back here? I simply wanted to see my adorable grandson."
As Lu Dongsheng spoke, he stretched out his hands towards the child in Lu Yu's arms, as if he was going to take the child from Lu Yu's arms.
But the little guy didn't seem to be familiar with Lu Dongsheng, and had no intention of throwing himself into his arms at all.
When the child realized that the strange old man in front of him was stretching out his arms towards him, he snorted in dissatisfaction, and then lay tightly in Lu Yu's arms like a koala, and turned around without hesitation, pointing his round little butt towards Lu Dongsheng, as if expressing his strong inner resistance in this way.
Lu Dongsheng didn't feel embarrassed. He still maintained his extreme enthusiasm, with a smile on his face, waving and calling out to the children eagerly. He looked as if he was not affected at all.
Seeing that the child ignored him, he laughed and said:
"This child is shy with grandpa."
Then he turned to Lu Yu and said:
"Don't think that I don't usually contact you. In fact, I care about you very much and worry about you all the time."
After hearing Lu Dongsheng's shameless and specious words, Lu Yu could no longer suppress his anger and finally burst out:
"Then I really have to thank you very much! Thank you for working so hard for me, to the point that you almost made me lose my chance for a promotion!"
Lu Dongsheng has always been known for his thick skin, but at this moment, facing his own son's ruthless accusations and revelations, his old face couldn't help but turn slightly red, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Just as he was thinking about how to avoid this topic, a woman's voice, as clear and melodious as a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, but also a little artificial, suddenly came from outside the door:
"Aunt, is Lu Yu back?"
When Lu Yu heard this familiar voice, his face instantly became extremely gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.
Because he knew very well that the owner of the voice was Mei Fang, the niece of Mei Huarong's mother's family, who thought she was of noble birth and looked down on others all day long.
Speaking of Miss Mei Fang, her face is like a huge pancake, and it is hard to call her a beauty.
However, what is incredible is that she is always self-indulgent and self-righteous, convinced that she is a beauty that can topple a country.
Perhaps it was because she had been treated like a star by the people around her since she was a child that she developed an extremely conceited character.
In her heart, she was like a fairy who had descended from the sky, and had come to this mortal world only to undergo some trials and tribulations.
In her opinion, everyone in the world should revolve around her and regard her as the center.
Otherwise, it would be a crime of treason.
Naturally, in order to please her, many people were willing to flatter her and use all kinds of sweet words to coax and deceive her.
It's because his father is in a high position and powerful. He can't afford to offend him, so he can only look at her mood.
Unfortunately, Lu Yu, who came from a remote village, had no idea about this. He treated Mei Fang the same way he treated everyone else, without giving her any special treatment or attention.
This really hurt Mei Fang's proud and fragile heart deeply.
To this end, she racked her brains and used all means to create all kinds of troubles and difficulties for Lu Yu.
