The smile on Cen Guixiang's face froze instantly. Feeling the domineering aura from Lu Feng, she said awkwardly, "I'm just...making a suggestion. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not."

The look in Lu Feng's eyes was still as cold as ice, and the temperature in the hall seemed to drop. Even Lu Yawen and others did not dare to say anything when he was furious. Children are the most sensitive. They flattened their mouths and crawled into Cen Guixiang's arms in fear.

"Grandma, I'm scared..." the little girl said softly.

"Oh, my dear, don't be afraid." Cen Guixiang hugged Zeng Sun and comforted him.

"Grandma, I'm scared too, oooo..." The little boys scrambled to get into her arms. Cen Guixiang looked distressed as she hugged her two great-grandchildren and coaxed them. If anyone didn't know better, they would think someone was bullying them.

Rong Siqiu had never been tolerant of his son's temper, so he had to swallow the words of blame that were on his lips. However, he couldn't just stand there and stare at him. With Cen Guixiang's mouth that was always eager to stir up trouble, she would tell everyone about it when she went out.

The atmosphere in the hall was suddenly weird. Su Ling knew that he couldn't hide any longer. He walked out of the kitchen with a cup of tea and into the hall.

"Tea is here~" he called cheerfully. When he passed by Lu Feng, he stopped and turned to look at him, "Have you finished talking to Dad?"

Facing Su Ling's crescent-shaped peach blossom eyes, Lu Feng softened his tone, reached out to take the tea tray, and responded vaguely. "Yeah."

Su Ling came to the tea table with him and poured tea for the elders. Seeing the two children in Cen Guixiang's arms, he asked in surprise, "Why are you crying? Are the snacks not tasty?"

Rong Siqiu said, "There are chocolates in the refrigerator in the kitchen. Go get two boxes for the children."

When the child heard about chocolate, his tears stopped immediately. He snuggled in his great-grandmother's arms, biting his fingers and widening his watery eyes.

Su Ling nudged Lu Feng's waist with his elbow. "Go get it."

He gave Lu Fengjie a hard push and he went to the kitchen, rubbing his waist.

As soon as he left, the low pressure in the living room disappeared instantly, and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Lu Yawen couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Xiao Feng and the eldest brother are indeed father and son, they both listen to their wives.

"Aunt, have some tea." Su Ling poured a cup of scented tea for Cen Guixiang and handed it to her politely.

Cen Guixiang let go of the two great-grandchildren who had stopped crying and took the tea from Su Ling with a smile. "Thank you, Xiao Su, it smells so good, what kind of tea is this?"

"It's jasmine tea." Su Ling said, "I saw several boxes of it in the cupboard, so I took some and made some."

Rong Siqiu picked up the tea on the tea table, took a sip, and said, "Last month, your uncle came back from YN with a large box of jasmine tea and gave me a few boxes. They have been sitting in the cupboard without moving."

Cen Guixiang took a sip and nodded repeatedly: "It tastes good, and tastes much better than ordinary jasmine tea."

"Grandma, I'm thirsty." The little girl said in a baby voice.

Su Ling immediately poured a cup of tea for each of the two children and helped feed them.

"Hurry up and thank uncle." said Cen Guixiang.

After quenching their thirst, the two children said obediently, "Thank you, uncle."

Su Ling smiled: "You're welcome."

Rufeng got the chocolate and returned to the living room. When he appeared, the two children, who had been relaxed, suddenly became nervous again, pouting their lips and looking like they were about to cry. Su Ling took the chocolate from Rufeng's hand and teased them, "Delicious chocolate, do you want some?"

The temptation to eat overcame the fear. The kid sniffed and said with a gnawing look, "Yes—"

Su Ling distributed the chocolates to them and pulled Lu Feng to sit on a chair on the other side, away from the children, to prevent them from crying again when they saw Lu Feng after eating the chocolates.

The atmosphere eased and the conversation became relaxed.

Several old ladies were drinking tea and chatting about family matters, and they were having a great time.

Su Ling held the cup and drank slowly, feeling bored to the point of mushrooms growing on him. They couldn't just leave when there were guests.

Li Feng glanced at the jade fingerboard on his left hand and whispered in his ear, "Where did you get it?"

His ears were itchy from the hot air, Su Ling tilted his head and raised his finger to show it. "My mother gave it to me. It's a glass-type imperial green. Is it beautiful?"

The white and slender fingers with distinct joints were wrapped around the crystal clear jade fingerboard, which was extremely sexy. Lu Feng couldn't help but hold his hand and rub it gently.

The two of them were so intimate as if no one was around, which made the old ladies chatting nearby almost jealous.

I don't know what Cen Guixiang was thinking about, but she suddenly said, "The most important thing is that the couple has a good relationship."

Shen Man sighed, "Isn't it? If my An Ning was willing to lower his head and admit his fault to his wife, they wouldn't be separated now."

Aning is her eldest son, whose full name is Lining. He is the fifth among his cousins. At this time, he is arguing about divorce with his daughter-in-law. Shen Man has tried to persuade them to reconcile many times, but to no avail.

Jiang Lihua asked in surprise: "Didn't you say you've reconciled?"

Shen Man shook her head: "No, the negotiation fell through."

Rong Siqiu said, "A harmonious family brings prosperity. If the two of you still have feelings for each other, why not calm down and talk it out."

"Sister-in-law is right!" Cen Guixiang looked down at her great-grandson in her arms and said sadly, "Our family is not reunited now. Tomorrow is my grandfather's 90th birthday, but my son Zhiyuan, as the eldest grandson, cannot come back to show his filial piety. Alas--"

Su Ling pressed down Lu Feng's teasing hand and looked at his second aunt who had a sad look on her face.

Are we finally getting to the point?

The front part is blown really long.

Lu Feng glanced indifferently at Cen Guixiang who was beginning to sell herself out, and continued to play with Su Ling's hand indifferently.

Lu Yawen grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table and said as she ate them, "Aunt, I have to say a few words about this. Zhiyuan himself committed a crime and fled abroad. He dared not come back, but he can't blame others."

Cen Guixiang said self-reproachfully, "I didn't teach Zhiyuan well. I'm sorry to the family and everyone, but the child is fine... Nannan hasn't seen Grandpa for several months. She cried and called for Grandpa, and her face became thin from crying."

She caressed the cheek of her great-granddaughter in her arms.

The word "Grandpa" was like a signal, and the little girl cried out "Wow" and started crying.

"Woooa ...

When one cried, the other one followed suit, and the little boy started crying too. "Grandpa - Chuchu misses you so much - wuwuwu - Grandma, when will Grandpa come back?"

"Hey, little ancestor, why are you crying again? Grandpa will be back soon. When he comes back, let him take you to Disney to see the princesses!" Cen Guixiang was frantic to coax the child, but after a long time, the child cried even more miserably. She was overwhelmed and asked other people for help.

Lu Yawen stepped forward, picked up the little boy, and patted his back. "Don't cry, Chuchu, you are a little man, you must be strong."

"Oh, Auntie, I miss grandpa." The little boy sobbed on her shoulder.

"If your grandpa wants to come back, no one can stop him." Lu Yawen coaxed.

Rong Siqiu glanced at his son's expression, holding the teacup, and said nothing. Jiang Lihua and Shen Manyu were about to speak again, but in the end they held back the words that were about to come out of their throats.

Since Cen Guixiang had the nerve to bring her great-grandson to act, they couldn't expose her and could only wait and see. The person who actually spoke hadn't spoken yet, and they were old and didn't want to get involved.

Su Ling held the teacup in his hand and looked at the performance opposite him, marveling at it.

Indeed, art comes from life.

It was obvious that it was her son who embezzled the company's money, registered companies abroad, and snatched the business of the Lu Group everywhere. After being discovered, he fled abroad with the money and dared not come back. Now, after she said it, it seemed that Lu Feng deliberately made things difficult for her son and forced him to go abroad, causing family disharmony. The child cried and shouted for his grandpa to win sympathy.

This ability to confuse right and wrong is beyond reach.

Lu Feng did not act according to common sense. He pulled Su Ling up, ignored the child's crying, and said to Rong Siqiu calmly: "Mom, it's almost noon. Ling and I will go back to the courtyard to eat."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the child stopped crying and hid in the adult's arms, holding back his tears.

The voices around him finally quieted down, and Rong Siqiu said, "It's a rare opportunity for you and Xiaoling to come back. Let's have lunch together here."

Ru Feng looked at the others and refused, "No."

As he said this, he pulled Su Ling out. Su Ling was still holding a teacup in his hand and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute..."

He had to put the cup back on the table.

Seeing them leaving, Cen Guixiang got anxious and blurted out, "Lu Feng, can't you show some leniency and let Zhiyuan go?"

Lu Feng said to Cen Guixiang in a cold voice: "I gave him a chance, but he became even more aggressive and ignored the interests of other members of the Lu family. His appetite is getting bigger and bigger. If I leave it alone, the company will be emptied by him sooner or later. When that happens, it will not be just me who will suffer, but the entire Lu family."

Cen Guixiang couldn't stand his sharp eyes and didn't dare to look him in the eye. "I know your second uncle also mentioned Zhiyuan's problem to me, but... Zhiyuan is a member of the Lu family after all. How can you bear to let him wander around for the rest of his life?"

Lu Feng said: "He can come back, as long as he returns the money he has embezzled, I will forgive him for what happened."

Disgorge the corruption?

Billions of dollars have already been used to establish overseas companies. How can they be willing to pay it back?

Cen Guixiang looked embarrassed.

Lu Yawen couldn't bear to listen any longer and said, "Second sister-in-law, Xiaofeng is now the helmsman of the Lu Group. All his decisions are based on the interests of the group. We just need to enjoy the profit dividends, and leave the rest to Xiaofeng."

Cen Guixiang was unwilling to accept this. She came here shamelessly today just for Zhiyuan's sake. She admitted that her son did something wrong by embezzling the company's money, but no one is perfect and everyone can make mistakes. Could it be that he, Lu Feng, had no selfish motives?

Now that things have come to this, she doesn't want to lose face today.

"Sister-in-law, if I remember correctly, when Lu Feng and Su Ling got married, there were preconditions!" she said to Rong Siqiu.

Rong Siqiu frowned: "It's not time yet."

Cen Guixiang said confidently, "In two months, the three-year agreement will expire."

Rong Siqiu remained silent, Jiang Lihua and Shen Man looked at each other.

Su Ling was completely confused. What were the preconditions for his marriage to Lu Feng? What was the three-year agreement? How could he not know?

"What does Second Aunt mean?" Su Ling couldn't help but ask.

Cen Guixiang asked in surprise: "You didn't know? Didn't Lu Feng tell you?"

"Auntie!" Lu Feng's voice suddenly turned cold.

Cen Guixiang was quick to sense something was wrong and ignored Lu Feng's warning. She shouted to Su Ling, "Why did the elders of the family agree to the marriage between you two grown men? It's because Lu Feng promised that within three years, there must be offspring, no matter if you find a way to have children yourself or if you pass on the family lineage. In short, if there are no children, he will give up his position as the helmsman!"

“Pala——”

Su Ling's grip loosened and the teacup fell and shattered onto the ground.

As if Su Ling had not been traumatized enough, Cen Guixiang continued, "A few days ago, your second uncle persuaded Ru Ning to adopt his two-year-old son to you, but you refused, right, fourth sister-in-law?"

"This... Alas..." Shen Man was speechless. Her son and daughter-in-law were arguing about divorce, and her second uncle did come over and persuade them to pass the child on to Lu Feng, but how could she, as a grandmother, bear to be separated from her grandson?

"Guixiang, did you come here today just for Zhiyuan?" Rong Siqiu said with a gloomy face, "Or, is your real purpose to get Zhiyuan back and become the new helmsman?"

Since Lu Feng had not fulfilled his promise, he naturally had to give up the position of the helmsman. Her son was the eldest grandson, and if he inherited the Lu Group, the matter of corruption could be written off.

What a good calculation!

Cen Guixiang curled her lips and said, "Sister-in-law, that's what you said. I didn't mean that."

Lu Yawen groaned and shook her head. That's not what she meant. Why did she deliberately expose the secret? Judging from Su Ling's reaction, it was obvious that he didn't know Lu Feng's promise.

Su Ling was completely stunned, his ears seemed to be tinnitus, and he could not hear the sounds around him. He saw Lu Feng open his mouth and call "baby", but his thoughts seemed to be slow and he could not respond.

This feeling is very mysterious, the body is standing still, but the soul is floating in the air, knowing nothing.

He knew that his current situation was very wrong. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something to Lu Feng, but no sound came out. The feeling of being out of control was too terrible. His vision became increasingly blurry, as if something was coming out from the ground, wrapping around his legs and pulling him downwards.

——

——

He screamed silently.

"Ling! Ling!" Lu Feng hugged the stunned Su Ling, slapped his face, and stimulated his nerves with pain.

The others were frightened by Su Ling's strange behavior. How could a normal person suddenly become stunned? He just stared straight ahead, without any reaction to Lu Feng's call, like a beautiful doll, motionless.

"What's wrong with him?" Cen Guixiang hugged her great-granddaughter and said, "I only said a few words. He is upset. It has nothing to do with me!"

Lu Feng, who was holding Su Ling, turned his head suddenly and glared at her fiercely with his red eyes.

"Shut up!"
