Chapter 153
Just when Pan Yuan thought he had seen through the two Lu brothers, 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 brows, and his fingers kept tapping the armrest, clearly in a very irritable mood. Mrs. Lu sat opposite him, holding a cup of tea, her expression indifferent, as if she was not interested in the matter at hand.
Seeing his wife's calm expression, Mr. Lu finally sighed and decided to speak first.
"...Old Gu is really getting more and more out of line," Director Lu said, his chin in his hand, his tone full of disdain. "You actually want to threaten me with something like this? It's just a matter of the child's love life. While it may have some impact on the Lu family, it won't shake the foundation."
Mrs. Lu took a sip of tea, looked up at Mr. Lu, and said calmly, "The Gu family is desperate now. I guess they see that we have been suppressing them a bit harshly recently, so they want to find a way out."
Director Lu nodded, his brow still furrowed. "However, they did remind me of one thing—that brat Lu Yi actually dared to get involved with Ye Wangxing during such a crucial time in his senior year! It really pissed me off!"
"Maybe it's a misunderstanding. After all, it's possible that it could have been filmed using a different camera angle."
Mrs. Lu said.
"It's a borrowed shot once, but is it always a borrowed shot? Look at him hanging around his neck, or putting his hands on his face, how could he have done that? How superb must his photography skills be! If he had such means, why didn't he attack Lu Jiu? This is what hits us the most, isn't it!"
At this point, he slammed the armrest, his voice filled with suppressed anger. Seeing this, Mrs. Lu put down her teacup and sighed softly, "Old Lu, don't be so angry yet. It's not good for us to interfere too much in the children's affairs."
Director Lu glanced at Madam Lu, his tone filled with dissatisfaction: "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 in his third year of high school, which is the most critical time. Instead of studying hard, he is actually dating? And with a man so much older than him! How can this be justified?"
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, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Older people tend to love others."
Madam Lu continued, "Besides, we are not unfamiliar with Ye Wangxing. He is highly capable and has a calm personality. 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 his tone was filled with helplessness:
"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 possibly have a common language? Besides, the most important thing for Lu Yi right now is studying, not falling in love!"
Mrs. Lu shook her head slightly and teased, "Old Lu, have you forgotten how you pursued me back then? Weren't you also in your third year of high school back then? Why are you so nervous now that it's your son's turn?"
Mr. Lu was speechless after hearing what Mrs. Lu said. 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 university? Now I'm worried that Lu Yi has been deceived."
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."
Upon hearing this, Director Lu's brows relaxed slightly, but his tone was still filled with 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, her tone gentle, "Old Lu, if we interfere too much in the children's affairs, it will only backfire. Lu Yi is at his most stubborn right now. The more you object, the more he will oppose you. It's better to let nature take its course. Who knows, maybe they will break up on their own."
Director Lu was silent for a moment, then sighed, his tone filled with helplessness: "You do have a point. However, I still feel that this is not right. After all, Ye Wangxing is so much older than Lu Yi. How could there be a future between them?"
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Old Lu, are you worried that Lu Yi has been deceived by Ye Wangxing, or are you worried that Ye Wangxing has been entangled by Lu Yi?"
When Mr. Lu was asked this by Mrs. Lu, he was suddenly speechless. A flash of embarrassment flashed across his face, and then he waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, you are right, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. However, when Lu Yi comes back, I have to teach him a lesson and let him know the importance of it."
Mrs. Lu nodded. "Alright, 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'll definitely go against you."
Director Lu snorted: "I understand. I will be careful."
After saying that, Director Lu stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the scenery outside, still feeling a little irritated. He really couldn't accept that his youngest son actually fell in love with a man 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 always been people who don't need any care since they were young, especially when facing other business partners outside, they can 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 caused a commotion at home, there were many doubts when 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 eldest 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 were 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 Mr. Lu also immediately sat up straight, ready to give Lu Jiu and Lu Yi a thorough trial. However, what they didn't 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 simply said:
"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 against his forehead heavily, then fell to the ground with a bang.
The pen inside fell out again during its movement and hit Lu Yi who was standing beside him, leaving a mark on his forehead.
Lu Yi and Lu Jiu did not hide either, but just frowned slightly and stood there with a stubborn look on their faces, which made Director Lu's blood pressure rise.
"You...you two unfilial sons!"
Director Lu's voice was practically a roar, "Do you know what you're doing? Ye Wangxing is so much older than you, and you still dare to say such things! You...you're even brothers falling in love with 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 flicked back and forth between Lu Jiu and Lu Yi, her tone filled with helplessness and reproach: "How could you two be so foolish? It's okay to 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! You like such a big one, so forget it. I turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it, but the result... the result!"
Madam Lu looked at Lu Jiu and Lu Yi, her tone pleading: "You are still young, and the road ahead is 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. When I thought 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. 100% wrong.
Mrs. Lu looked at the stubborn expressions of Lu Jiu and Lu Yi, frowning and thinking.
Lu Jiu and Lu Yi have always been thoughtful children, and never act so impulsively. They could have chosen a calmer approach to handle this matter, so why did they have to do it now...
At this time, Mr. Lu, who had just finished his anger, regained his intelligence. Looking at Lu Jiu and Lu Yi who were still looking stubborn, his expression was filled with surprise and 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 up 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 get, the wiser you become. 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 knowing they have leverage over us, so they were less defensive. That's how the loopholes appeared. I'll talk to Senior about filing a labor arbitration with the Gu family later. It'll be much easier than trying to seize the market like we're 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 brows 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 we make a big noise will they think we are really having a family conflict, which will make it 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 a scene of us being kicked out of the house later."
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu finally understood. 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 save them a lot of trouble. Why wouldn't they agree?
"You two brats, tell us in advance before you act next time. Your parents' acting skills aren't that bad."
Mrs. Lu said this unhappily, but then 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 still 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 stimulation. Next time, tell us it's a lie 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 with Ye Wangxing is true?"
Then they heard the two brothers, one of them smiling like a modest gentleman, and the other one 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 breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
However, the next second they heard Lu Yi sigh and say:
"——The teacher still hasn't accepted either 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 an explosion sound.
"...If you two brats dare to walk out of this door today, you'll never get back in again!"
Then Director Lu saw the two brats make an OK gesture and rush out without any courtesy.
Mr. Lu is really serious: ...
Ahhhhhhhh!
