Chapter 153
Just when Pan Yuan felt that he had seen through the two brothers of the Lu family, Director Lu had just finished a phone call and was sitting on the sofa in the study.
There was a hint of fatigue between his eyebrows, and his fingers kept tapping the armrests, obviously in a very irritable mood. Mrs. Lu sat opposite him, holding a cup of tea in her hand, with a calm expression, as if she was not interested in what was happening.
Seeing his wife's calm look, Mr. Lu finally sighed and decided to speak first.
"...Old Gu is really getting more and more out of line," Director Lu said, holding his chin with his hand, with obvious disdain in his tone, "You actually use this kind of thing to threaten me? It's just a matter of the child's love life. Although it may have some impact on the Lu family, it won't shake the foundation."
Madam Lu took a sip of tea, looked up at Director Lu, and said calmly, "The Gu family is desperate now. They probably saw that we have been suppressing them a bit harshly recently, so they want to find a breakthrough."
Director Lu nodded, his brows still furrowed. "However, they did remind me of one thing - Lu Yi, that kid, actually dared to get involved with Ye Wangxing at such a critical time in his senior year! I'm really pissed off!"
"It might be a misunderstanding. After all, it is possible that the scene could have been filmed using a borrowed angle."
Mrs. Lu said.
"It's borrowing the camera once, but is it borrowing the camera every time? Look at him hanging around his neck, or putting his hands on his face, how can this be taken with borrowing the camera? How advanced must this person's photography skills be! If he has this kind of means, why doesn't he attack Lu Jiu? This is what hits us the most, isn't it!"
When he said this, he slapped the armrest, his voice full of suppressed anger. Seeing this, Mrs. Lu put down her teacup and sighed softly: "Old Lu, don't be angry yet. It's not good for us to control the children's affairs too much."
Director Lu glanced at Madam Lu, and said with dissatisfaction in his tone: "What are you talking about? How old is Lu Yi? That Ye Wangxing is already 34! The age difference is too big! And he is now in the third year of high school, which is the most critical time. Instead of studying hard, he actually goes out to fall in love? And with a man who is so much older than him! Is this reasonable?"
Mrs. Lu did not get angry, but reminded Mr. Lu of something in a calm tone.
"——But your son was admitted to Capital University half a month ago."
Director Lu: “…”
He forgot about this.
Mrs. Lu picked up the teacup again and said, "Old Lu, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Older people are more caring."
Madam Lu continued, "Besides, we are not unfamiliar with Ye Wangxing. He is very capable and calm. Although he is blind now, he is still a capable person. It is not necessarily a bad thing that Lu Yi likes him. At least we don't have to worry about the family property."
When Director Lu heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone:
"You seem to be open-minded. But I just feel something is wrong. Lu Yi is only 18 years old, what does he know? Ye Wangxing is so much older than him, how could they have a common language? Besides, the most important thing for Lu Yi now is to study, not to fall in love!"
Mrs. Lu shook her head gently and teased, "Old Lu, have you forgotten how you pursued me back then? Weren't you also a senior in high school at that time? Why are you so nervous now that it's your son's turn?"
After hearing what Mrs. Lu said, Director Lu was speechless. A flash of embarrassment flashed across his face, but then he regained his serious expression: "That's different! I was at least the same age as you back then, and didn't we both get into college later? I'm just afraid that Lu Yi will be cheated."
Mrs. Lu smiled, her tone still relaxed: "Old Lu, you are too nervous. Besides, isn't his brother here? Lu Jiu will watch over him."
When Director Lu heard this, his frown relaxed a little, but his tone was still full of dissatisfaction: "Lu Jiu? Humph, I don't think he can control Lu Yi. These two guys are more troublesome than the other."
Mrs. Lu patted Mr. Lu's hand gently, and said in a gentle tone: "Mr. Lu, if we interfere too much in the children's affairs, it will be counterproductive. Lu Yi is at his most stubborn now. The more you oppose, the more he will go against you. It's better to let nature take its course. Who knows, they might break up on their own."
Director Lu was silent for a while, then sighed, with helplessness in his tone: "What you said makes sense. However, I still think that this is not right. After all, Ye Wangxing is much older than Lu Yi. How can there be a future between them?"
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Old Lu, are you worried that Lu Yi was deceived by Ye Wangxing, or are you worried that Ye Wangxing was entangled by Lu Yi?"
When asked by Mrs. Lu, Director Lu was speechless, and a flash of embarrassment flashed across his face. He then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. You are right. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. However, when Lu Yi comes back, I have to teach him a lesson and let him know the importance of the matter."
Madam Lu nodded: "Okay, you can teach him a lesson, but don't go too far. After all, Lu Yi is at his most stubborn right now. If you push him too far, he will go against you."
Director Lu snorted: "I know, I will be careful."
After saying that, Director Lu stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery outside. He was still a little irritated. He really couldn't accept that his youngest son actually fell in love with a man who was so much older than him.
Mrs. Lu looked at Mr. Lu's back and sighed softly, but she felt something was wrong in her heart.
My eldest son and youngest son have both been the type that don't require any worry since they were young, especially when facing other business partners outside, they do some things more flawlessly than their father.
So would his youngest son really be so careless as to do such an intimate act in the garden restaurant outside?
Moreover, the last time Old Gu inexplicably made a scene at home, there were many suspicious points if you thought about it carefully, although the whole thing itself was quite confusing, such as why Pan Yuan came to the Lu family after beating Gu Tianci, and why Ye Wangxing was also in his eldest son's house.
But at that time, Old Lu was already very angry. She and the eldest and second oldest brothers persuaded him for a long time before Old Lu calmed down.
I didn't have time to explore the situation at that time, but now I think about it, I realize that something is wrong.
However, if we directly infer that Lu Yi and Ye Wangxing had been dating before he was admitted, and even asked Lu Jiu to hide Ye Wangxing, Mrs. Lu still felt that something was not right.
But before Mrs. Lu could figure out what was wrong, she heard the housekeeper calling for help downstairs.
Lu Yi and the others are here.
Mrs. Lu and Director Lu also immediately sat up straight, ready to have a thorough trial of Lu Jiu and Lu Yi. However, what they did not expect was that the first person to drop a bomb on them was not Lu Yi who was in trouble.
But it was Lu Jiu.
He said simply:
"Dad, Mom, I was the one who hid Ye Wangxing."
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu: "..."
"ah?"
"...Nonsense! You two brothers are just fooling around!" Director Lu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He suddenly grabbed the pen holder on the table and threw it hard at Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu didn't dodge. The pen holder brushed his forehead heavily and then fell to the ground with a bang.
The pen inside fell out during its movement and hit Lu Yi who was standing nearby, leaving a mark on his forehead.
Lu Yi and Lu Jiu did not hide either, but just frowned slightly and remained standing where they were, with a look of stubbornness that made Director Lu's blood pressure rise.
"You...you two unfilial sons!"
Director Lu’s voice was almost a roar, “Do you know what you are doing? Ye Wangxing is so much older than you, and you dare to say such things! You…you are even brothers who like the same person! Are you crazy?!”
Mrs. Lu was also shocked by the sudden news. She stood up, walked to Mr. Lu, patted him on the back gently, trying to calm him down.
Her eyes flickered between Lu Jiu and Lu Yi, her tone filled with helplessness and reproach: "How could you two be so foolish? It's fine if you like someone older than you, but how could you...how could you..."
She didn't finish her words, but her meaning was clear. Although Mrs. Lu was usually tolerant of children's affairs, this incident was obviously beyond her acceptance.
Director Lu also said in a voice that was almost shouting: "Your mother is right! It's fine if you like such a big one, I just turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it, but the result... the result!"
Madam Lu looked at Lu Jiu and Lu Yi, with a hint of pleading in her tone: "You are still young, and the road ahead is still long, why do you have to force it... Just listen to your mother and break up, okay?"
Lu Jiu and Lu Yi still had that stubborn expression, as if neither Mr. Lu's anger nor Mrs. Lu's pleading had any effect on them.
Lu Jiu looked down at his mother, his tone pleading: "Mom, I know it's hard for you to accept, but Lu Yi and I really feel for Ye Wangxing."
Lu Yi also nodded, and nodded along with his brother's words, his tone also firm.
"Mom and Dad, my brother is right."
Mr. Lu was now even more furious, and Mrs. Lu was also a little annoyed.
Especially since this was the first time that Director Lu got so angry, and the noise he made was probably heard by people outside the villa. Thinking about the subsequent public relations processing and appeasing shareholders, although it was not a big deal, it was indeed extra work.
However, the two boys didn't care and only wanted them to agree to their relationship with Ye Wangxing...
…Wait, something is wrong. It's 100% wrong.
Mrs. Lu looked at the stubborn looks of Lu Jiu and Lu Yi, frowned and thought.
Lu Jiu and Lu Yi have always been thoughtful children since they were young, and they never act so impulsively. They could have chosen a calmer way to deal with this matter, why did they have to do it at this time...
At this time, Mr. Lu, who had just finished his anger, regained his IQ. Looking at Lu Jiu and Lu Yi who were still looking stubborn in front of him, his expression was filled with doubt.
"...What are you two up to?"
Mrs. Lu's voice suddenly became stern. When Mr. Lu heard this, he shuddered all over and quickly stood up to give his seat to Mrs. Lu, who sat behind the desk.
When Lu Jiu and Lu Yi heard what Madam Lu said, they maintained a stubborn expression on their faces for a while, and then they seemed to realize that Madam Lu was not deceiving them, so they dropped their expressions and returned to their usual smiles.
"As expected, the older you are, the wiser you are. Mom finally found out."
Lu Yixian said with a bright and cheerful smile - but with the blood on his forehead, he looked a little creepy.
"It's actually the Gu family's fault. They think they can rest easy with the leverage they have over us, so they were less defensive against us. That's how the loophole came about. Then we can talk to the senior and ask him to file a labor arbitration with the Gu family. It will be much easier than grabbing the market like we are doing now."
Lu Jiu also explained, his forehead was blue and black, but fortunately it was not swollen, instead it added a touch of battle damage to his gentle face.
It sounded like it was all for the sake of the family, so Mr. Lu's frown relaxed and Mrs. Lu's complexion also looked much better.
"So you quarreled with me before and deliberately provoked me to hit you..." Director Lu said a little incredulously.
"It's fake. After talking to you, the Gu family will definitely keep an eye on our family. Only if the noise is too loud will they think we are really having a family conflict, and it will be easier for us to take action."
Lu Jiu said this with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"I'll have to trouble my parents to stage an expulsion scene for us later."
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu understood now. They looked at the two little ones with a bit of a dilemma, but still nodded in cooperation. After all, it was rare for their two sons to participate in such a business war, and it would also save them trouble, so why wouldn't they agree?
"You two brats, tell us in advance before you act next time. Your parents' acting skills are not that bad."
Mrs. Lu said this unhappily, but then she turned around and looked at the wounds on her two sons' heads with heartache.
"Does the wound on your forehead hurt? I'll call the butler to bandage it."
"It's okay, Mom. This will make the Gu family trust you more." Lu Yi said with a smile. He looked completely fine, which made Mrs. Lu feel relieved.
"Hehe, you guys are using this kind of thing to provoke us. I really thought that you two fell in love with a 34-year-old beta at the same time. Your father's heart can't stand this kind of stimulation. Next time, tell us it's fake in advance." Director Lu said helplessly.
However, Lu Jiu and Lu Yi, who were about to run out of the house, paused strangely after hearing this.
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu suddenly had a bad feeling.
“… Could it be that what happened to Ye Wangxing is true?”
Then they heard one of the brothers smiling like a modest gentleman, while the other was as sunny and cheerful as a clear and stupid college student.
"How could it be true?" Lu Jiu said with a smile.
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu both breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next second they heard Lu Yi sigh and say:
"——The teacher still hasn't accepted one of us."
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu: "..."
Mrs. Lu slowly glanced at the wounds on the two men's heads, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
——Could it be that these two brats are planning to play the victim in front of Ye Wangxing?
At this time, Mr. Lu on the side had already made a loud bang.
"...If you two brats dare to walk out of this door today, you will never come back in again!"
Then Director Lu saw the two brats making an OK gesture and rushed out without any courtesy.
Mr. Lu is really serious: ...
Ahhhhhhh!
