There was a long silence on the phone.
Helpless, Lu Jianjun called out, "Big Brother..."
Lu Guozhong sighed softly, "I understand. I'll handle this. Since those two children are innocent, I will protect them and won't let them be bullied."
Lu Jianjun finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, thank you, brother!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Guozhong just sat there in his chair, lost in thought!
The image of that enchanting woman keeps flashing through my mind. Eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye!
She has been gone for more than three years...
He opened the drawer and pulled out an envelope from the bottom of a layer of books and documents. Inside was the information about the Wu family case.
Over the years, he has had no contact with the Meng family on the surface. Even his younger brother, Lu Jianjun, thought that he had been deliberately avoiding the Meng family. But what was the reality?
How could anyone possibly avoid it?
That woman has always been active in this circle; you can't forget her even if you want to!
She bewitched him, slept with him, yet refused to marry him.
She just ran away and married someone else!
Whenever he thought of that woman, Lu Guozhong felt a burning hatred.
But it has to be said that the woman won. He became more and more powerful and his power grew. He could have dealt with her if he wanted to, but he just couldn't bear to.
Not only was he reluctant to part with her, but he also couldn't help secretly helping her.
He's so angry!
Now that she's gone, he still has to protect her child. That human trafficking ring case was so big, they got so much grain and gold out of it, it alarmed the entire upper echelons, how could he not know?
He naturally learned about Meng Fuyan's kidnapping and immediately sent people to investigate secretly, whereupon he learned everything Wu Guozhu had done.
It's obvious that the Gu family kid also has suspicions. He wants to solidify Wu Guozhu's guilt, drag the entire Wu and Zhang families into hell, and also wants to exonerate Meng Fuyan and her brother.
That damned woman bullied him once or twice. Whether he wanted to fight back or not was his own business. Although she wasn't a good woman in the traditional sense, she hadn't harmed anyone. Why should Wu Guozhu scheme against her?
The woman was reluctant to move, as for her child...
Lu Guozhong knew he still had some bottom line. Those two children were innocent and knew nothing at all. Someone of his status wouldn't stoop to retaliating against their children.
So, a certain seemingly serious, upright, and old-fashioned big shot who was actually incredibly sly inside couldn't bear to touch the person he liked, nor would he lay a hand on the child born to the woman he liked. He had been holding back his frustration for many years. He already disliked Wu Guozhu, and now he had walked right into the line of fire. Would he let this opportunity pass?
Therefore, Gu Tingzhi's case was handled very smoothly because, before Lu Jianjun even made the call, Lu Guozhong had already done everything that should and shouldn't have been done!
Lu Guozhong looked at the documents in his hand, gave a cold laugh that was somewhat sinister, then stuffed the documents back in, locked the drawer, and continued to review his files.
He's back to being the serious and rigid Lu Guozhong.
The Lu family was in an uproar, but Meng Fuyan was completely unaware!
She wasn't welcome at the Lu family home, but Lu Jianjun and his three older brothers treated her very well. She couldn't very well not visit them for the New Year, so after going through the formalities, she took her younger brother home.
As for why Qin Qiongying disliked her, she didn't care at all.
After all, no matter what, this woman wouldn't change, and she couldn't really explain anything. It had been so many years; she was already used to it.
The Spring Festival is a very lively time, and it is the happiest time for children. They also have more pocket money. Meng Yunji packed some snacks and went to find his friends to play. Meng Fuyan also brought some treats to cultivate a camaraderie with some of her friends.
I can't let my feelings get the better of me after being in the countryside for several months!
Meng Fuyan didn't go home until evening. Meng Yunji, that little guy, was probably having too much fun to come back.
Meng Fuyan built a small snowman in the yard. It still snowed in the South in this era, but it wasn't as spectacular as the snow in the North. Decades later, due to global warming, snow became rare in the South, and sometimes it would go for years without snow.
Dinner was ready before dark, and Meng Yunji finally returned. She looked like she had a lot of fun, her little face was rosy.
The result of playing so much was that I was exhausted. After dinner, I soaked my feet and went straight to bed.
For several days after the Lunar New Year, the siblings lived like this: they lived in a large villa of several hundred square meters, with plenty of food and drink and no shortage of money. They couldn't be happier!
That night, Meng Fuyan did some work in the space, took a bath, and had just lain down when she heard a very soft knocking on the window. She was startled.
Soon, the window was opened, and a tall figure entered from the balcony.
In the pitch-black night, only a small bedside lamp was lit in the room. Even from a distance, the dim yellow light made it impossible to see people's faces clearly.
"Yan Yan!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Meng Fuyan exclaimed with delight, "Brother Gu!"
Gu Tingzhi closed the window, drew the curtains, put down his backpack, walked over, and hugged the person in his arms.
He wasn't dressed very warmly tonight, in fact, he was wearing very little. In this cold weather, most people would be wearing a padded coat, but he was only wearing a coat.
He was only wearing a shirt underneath, and his coat was open, so Meng Fuyan was held in his arms. Although the coat was cold, his body was warm, and the embrace was very cozy. It was warm and cozy to lean against him.
"Why are you here so late?" Meng Fuyan asked.
Gu Tingzhi lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Being so close, she could clearly see the doting look in his eyes. This doting look made Meng Fuyan pause for a moment because his gaze was very direct and completely different from how Gu Tingzhi used to look at her.
