Chapter 80 If you don't regret it, why should I?
For the next ten minutes, Pei Wu calmly watched the father and son argue and exchange sharp words.
To be precise, it was Lu Ye who was unilaterally criticized by Lu Xiwen.
When Lu Xiwen is ruthless, he won't give you the slightest bit of kindness.
It shouldn't have been this embarrassing, but the way Lu Ye and Tang Qingsu, completely unaware of the situation, could still question him so confidently, was something Lu Xiwen couldn't match at all. More importantly, why were they all going after Pei Wu?
It seems that if someone he likes appears in his life, they should share the terrible blood relationship with him.
Lu Xiwen's words came from the bottom of his heart; he wanted Pei Wu to be happy.
Tuanzi returned to its normal size, and Pei Wu led him to stand against the cabinet by the door. On the top was a plate of fresh dried fruit for entertaining guests. Pei Wu picked and chose, then took out a macadamia nut and handed it to Tuanzi. The little guy seemed to have a good bite force.
The dumpling lived up to expectations, making a crisp "pop" sound.
"Give me back your company. How many generations has it changed since then?" Lu Xiwen said halfway through when he heard the noise and turned around. He saw Tuanzi spitting out the fruit and stretching its neck to swallow the shell. He frowned and couldn't help but say, "Although I don't usually feed you anything, you don't have to be so stupid."
Pei Wu glanced at Lu Xiwen, then gently patted Tuanzi's head, and Tuanzi vomited again.
This made Lu Xiwen decide not to waste any more words with Lu Ye.
Pei Wu didn't want to see Lu Ye either.
He still wants to seek justice for those years when Lu Xiwen was left unattended.
“Go do your thing.” Lu Xi’s voice deepened. “If I remember correctly, every year’s dividends have gone straight into your bank account. Don’t you have some businesses abroad? Continue your free life. I’m an adult now.”
Lu Ye's face turned ashen.
Father and son met again after many years, but there wasn't even the most basic greeting. Lu Xiwen's eyes were so cold that he seemed like an outsider.
But the harsh reality made Lu Ye belatedly realize that something was wrong.
The role of "father" is not omnipotent. Over the years, he has only occasionally heard that Lu Xiwen's business empire has continued to expand. While he feels at ease, he is also proud that this is his son. But apart from that, there is nothing. There is no so-called parent-child time or warm greetings. Lu Ye can't even remember what Lu Xiwen looked like when he was a child.
He came with great confidence, thinking that Tang Qingsu was just worrying unnecessarily, but the actual situation far exceeded his expectations.
But Lu Ye was very reluctant to admit his mistakes. He stared at Lu Xiwen, panting heavily, and said, "Won't you regret talking to me like that later?"
Lu Xiwen was utterly bewildered: "If you don't regret it, why should I?"
Lu Ye doesn't regret leaving his son alone in Hongdu all these years, nor does he regret pursuing and enjoying freedom on his own. He doesn't regret suddenly waking up to find that blood ties have faded so much. Which one is it exactly? Lu Ye doesn't know.
After Lu Ye strode away, Lu Xiwen stood still.
Pei Wu stepped forward and gently took his hand.
Lu Xiwen immediately turned around and tightened his grip.
"Are you sad?" Pei Wu asked.
“No, not at all,” Lu Xi said. “I just don’t understand why they do that.”
They disappeared without a trace when he was most needed, but now that everything is stable, they're eager to get involved in his life.
"Don't be angry," Pei Wu said. "I'll make you sweet and sour fish tonight."
"Let's try something else." Lu Xiwen's eyes lit up with a smile. "How about some braised fish? The ones you made before were delicious."
"Okay." Pei Wu felt that this person needed a change of pace; he could eat the same thing for a long time without stopping.
Lu Xiwen put his arm around Pei Wu's shoulder and walked out: "My dad probably won't dare to do it again, but if the distance isn't too far in the future, you should keep Tuanzi with you. If anything happens, I'll be able to sense it immediately."
Pei Wu nodded: "Mm."
Lu Xiwen truly didn't care about his parents' affairs. It was a long-standing karmic retribution. Once Lu Xiwen truly let go of the past, even love and hate became unimportant. He only enjoyed sitting at the table eating the fish Pei Wu had prepared, just as Lu Ye had said years ago, "You're an adult now, can't you regulate your own emotions?"
Lu Xiwen had resolved the situation and figured his parents should be fine too.
A plate of braised fish with four steamed buns. Lu Xiwen ate it all, soup and sauce, dipping the buns in the sauce.
The aunt couldn't help but laugh. She had thought Mr. Lu would be difficult to take care of, as he looked very picky, but she never expected that a plate of fish would be enough to satisfy him.
"Fang Xiao is coming tomorrow, will he come with me?" Lu Xiwen asked.
Pei Wu folded the clean clothes neatly and casually replied, "Okay."
He dressed casually at home, and because of the hot weather, the fabric was loose, making his waist look slender with his movements. Lu Xiwen first gestured in the air to compare his waistline and thought it was very thin, and then couldn't resist going up and holding it.
Pei Wu turned around helplessly.
Lu Xi urged, "Hurry up."
The big cat is perfectly content with just cuddling and kissing.

After some time apart, Fang Xiao had lost weight, his bone structure had become more prominent, and he looked quite intimidating when he wasn't expressionless.
Chu Lin came to find Lu Xiwen to complain about bad luck, while Fang Xiao was also having a lot of trouble. One day his brakes failed, and the other day someone stabbed him in the drink. Once Fang's inhibitor is released, it will be a huge threat to those expensive and slow-acting industries. When faced with profit, many people are the most adventurous and dare to do anything.
“If it’s that complicated, just give me the thing.” Lu Xi said, “I’ll take care of it.”
In the bright private room, with a table full of delicious food, Fang Xiao leaned against the huge floor-to-ceiling window and glanced at the bustling traffic below. He never expected that he would actually succeed in getting things done.
"Here you go." Fang Xiao said, sounding slightly tired. "I do need to rest for a while."
He practically trampled the gates of the research institute to pieces. The repeated failures and restarts were no less troublesome than the intrigues outside. Lu Xiwen was different; he ignored the storms. Hearing that the black market thug Chu, who never failed, had suffered a major setback at Lu Xiwen's hands, he went back and started clamoring to quit.
Upon hearing Fang Xiao mention Chu Lin, Lu Xiwen scoffed, "Your information network is quite impressive."
"I'm right here in Haishi. If I'm not well-informed, those two rivals will devour me!" Fang Xiao took a sip of tea. "By the way, you used the strongest pheromones to suppress that guy surnamed Chu? Otherwise, why would he quit?"
"It wasn't me, it was my brother."
Fang Xiao understood: "Cao Guan! Kuang Junmeng isn't that fierce. By the way, Cao Guan is so formidable."
Lu Xiwen: "No, it's Guan Yan."
Fang Xiao choked back a sob, giving him a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"
Lu Xiwen was too lazy to explain; everyone who looked down on Guan Yan's Omega status would ultimately come out worse off.
"Arrange a few days of relaxation for me," Fang Xiao stretched. "I'm really exhausted these days."
“Okay, go play with Kuang Junmeng. He has all sorts of new and exciting things to do.”
Fang Xiao nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay."
