Chu Rui gritted his teeth, wanting to blurt everything out in an instant, but the slightly cool jade pendant in his hand stopped him from this crazy idea.
Not long after he arrived at the military academy, or rather, after he met Madam Bai in Xinglinhai, her butler approached him.
He said the jade pendant belonged to the Bai family, and that he was Madam Bai's child.
Chu Rui couldn't help but feel a bit absurd and ridiculous. This jade pendant was the last memento his Qiao'er left him, but because he had made a name for himself, the Bai family found out about it and were preparing to acknowledge him as their ancestor.
It turns out his Qiao'er has such a noble status, but...
He immediately asked Butler Bai who his father was and why he had abandoned him.
Butler Bai hesitated and remained silent. In fact, he knew that because Qiao'er had intellectual disabilities, how could such a large family allow their child to have intellectual impairment? So they abandoned her without any mercy.
All these years, Madam Bai has had no children, so seeing this jade pendant reminded her of the past. This is retribution; if you don't raise children, how can you have them?
He originally didn't want to get involved with the Bai family, so he always treated them coldly. But the experience in 344 made him realize that high martial arts skills are actually useless and still can't stop the conspiracies and schemes of those in high positions of power.
They are nothing more than dispensable numbers, victims of a power struggle.
After returning, he planned to enter the Bai family. He wanted to protect Sister Lan, Chi Huo, and all those he wanted to protect.
Also wanting to know the truth about Qiao'er being abandoned back then, Chu Rui felt more and more that something was wrong during his days at the Bai family.
In particular, the closer he got to the Bai family's old residence, the clearer his long-buried memories became, and he was certain that he had a connection with the Bai family.
"Yes, I know."
Seeing that Chu Rui was unwilling to say anything, Lu Yulan could not force him to do anything, but said something after he left.
“Come back if you’re unhappy. Actually, Uncle and Xiao Le’er both consider you family. Rose Star will always be your home. There’s no need to…”
"Thank you, Sister Lan."
Watching Chu Rui walk away without stopping, seemingly fleeing in panic, Lu Yulan sighed again, "I think I made him cry again."
Lu Xiaoyan held her hand. "It's okay, he understands."
Lu Yulan pulled her hand back and looked at the other person, "Oh, then do you understand?"
Lu Xiaoyan blinked her big blue eyes. "Sister, what did you say? I don't understand."
Lu Yulan couldn't help but laugh. Is this the same aloof General Lu who used to be, so unconcerned about his image?
She couldn't help but squat down and pinch the other person's cheek. "If your fans knew you were like this, they would cry."
Lu Xiaoyan hugged Lu Yulan's leg and said, "It's okay as long as you don't cry."
"Hmph!"
He put the other person back on the sofa, and the two looked at each other. "Tell me, why did you agree to the engagement?"
I want to marry you.
Lu Yulan: ...
What if I want to laugh? No, I have to hold it in. She has a temper. I can't laugh, I can't laugh.
"Then, what about the one who's in charge? How do you plan to handle it?"
Lu Xiaoyan blinked, keeping everyone in suspense, "That depends on his choice."
"So kind?"
"Hmm, so kind."
"Speaking of which, there's probably a problem with Chu Rui. He's not a child of the Bai family; his deceased younger brother is."
Lu Yulan: !
Why didn't you say so just now?
I didn't say anything to change the subject, otherwise the girl would keep asking questions and I'd get angry later!
