Jinting Hotel Apartment is An Jie's place of residence in Fengcheng. He has lived here for half a year. Considering the possibility of Yan Yue settling in Fengcheng, An Jie has already made plans to buy a house in Fengcheng.
Early that morning, An Jie received a message from Ye Kang that Lu Weian and Yin Ya had been meeting frequently and were very close in the past few days. If things continued like this, their engagement would be finalized soon. However, what An Jie did not expect was that the person who opposed this most fiercely was Lu Weian's mother, Li Caiying. It was said that Li Caiying had a big fight with Yin Qinglan, and she accused Yin Qinglan of deliberately letting Yin Ya seduce Lu Weian.
"What's going on?" An Jie was a little puzzled, "Aren't the two of them on good terms?"
"It's good to have a good relationship, but it depends on what the matter is." Ye Kang has been paying attention to the Lu family recently and has analyzed everyone in the Lu family from a psychologist's perspective. He explained: "Li Caiying treats Lu Weian as her own apple and puts all her thoughts on Lu Weian. In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Weian is in poor health and has nothing good except the name of a Lu family member, but in Li Caiying's heart, Lu Weian is perfect, how could she be willing to have an illegitimate daughter as her daughter-in-law."
"What does Lu Weian mean? I heard that he has a very good relationship with Li Caiying and her son. He shouldn't go against Li Caiying's wishes, right?" An Jie deduced based on common sense and immediately thought about what Yan Yue should do behind the scenes to help Yin Ya if she couldn't get past Li Caiying.
Before An Jie could think about it, Ye Kang had already started gossiping. "This is the interesting part. Lu Weian was determined to marry Yin Ya, and even had a conflict with Li Caiying."
"real?"
An Jie didn't quite believe what Ye Kang said. Yan Yue had previously asked someone to investigate the Lu family, with the focus on Lu Weian's family of three. As Yan Yue's assistant, An Jie had also read the investigation materials. The materials showed that Lu Weian had a good relationship with his parents, especially he was very filial to Li Caiying. He didn't think that Lu Weian and Yin Ya's relationship would be so good that Lu Weian would go against Li Caiying's wishes.
Ye Kang did not answer his question, but said in a mocking tone: "If Lu Weian wants to get rid of his status as a transparent person in the Lu family, marrying Yin Ya is the fastest way."
An Jie frowned slightly, and in his heart he already agreed with Ye Kang's words to a certain extent.
Different people have different opinions on what kind of person Lu Weian is. Some people think he is pitiful, some think he is innocent, some think he is cold-blooded, and Ye Kang's evaluation is selfish. No matter how gentle and helpless Lu Weian pretends to be on the outside, he is an extremely selfish person in his bones.
When Ye Kang and An Jie talked about Lu Weian, Lu Weian had just hung up the phone with Yin Ya. Just as Ye Kang said, the relationship between Lu Weian and Yin Ya has been heating up rapidly these days. Yin Ya wants to be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and Lu Weian wants to get involved in Hepu's industry through Yin Ya. The two of them hit it off immediately, just like a couple in love. On the phone, Yin Ya's tone was a little excited. After she and her mother had been talking for a few days, her grandfather finally agreed to meet Lu Weian. Yin Ya was afraid that the night would be too long and she hurried to make an appointment with Lu Weian. Lu Weian wrote down what Yin Ya said about Yin Yongde's preferences, and wondered what he should say to impress Yin Yongde when he met him.
While Lu Weian was thinking, Lu Guangjing knocked on his door. "Weian."
Lu Weian put away the calculation in his eyes and looked at his father calmly. More than 20 years ago, Lu Guangjing was the most famous playboy in Zhongjing. He was handsome, humorous, and very popular with women, otherwise Li Caiying would not have liked Lu Guangjing. But the Lu Guangjing in front of him was in a depressed state, as if he was shrouded in a layer of death, and looked even older than Lu Weian's grandfather. Lu Weian remembered that his father was not like this a year ago. Because of Lu Lingxi's death, Lu Guangjing was completely collapsed.
Lu Weian looked concerned, but in his heart he was extremely mocking. Lu Lingxi was already dead, but his father had to act like this. What was he trying to prove? His regret? Guilt? Self-blame? Or did he want to show how cold-blooded he was in front of outsiders?
Lu Weian heard his own voice, "Father doesn't look very well. Did he not get enough rest? If I knew, I would definitely not want to see him ruining his health like this."
He mentioned Lu Lingxi, and Lu Guangjing sighed and waved at him, "I know my body, Wei'an, are you planning to go out?"
Lu Lingxi nodded.
"With the little girl from the Yin family?"
Lu Weian smiled slightly and said sincerely: "Father, I like Xiaoya very much. I hope you and mother will agree that Xiaoya and I can be together."
Lu Guangjing looked at Lu Weian without saying anything, and after a while he whispered, "Weian, tell me the truth, do you really like Yin Ya or did your grandfather tell you something?"
"Why would father say that?" Lu Weian asked in surprise.
Lu Guangjing didn't care about his reaction and said to himself: "Your grandfather has three sons, and I, your father, am the least ambitious one. When I was young, I didn't want to compete for anything, anyway, the Lu family would not lack my money. Later, you were in poor health, and I didn't have the heart to work on the family business. Your grandfather took back the shares that were allocated to me and set up a fund for our family. This fund will guarantee all your medical expenses, and also ensure that you and Xiaoxi will have no worries for the rest of your life, but in return, our branch will give up getting involved in the family business."
He sighed again when he said this, "You have been smart since you were a child, and your grandfather used to like you the most. If it weren't for your poor health, I believe you, Wei'an, would have become the pride of the Lu family. You are my son, and I know what you think. I know you are unwilling to stay at home in mediocrity and want to make some achievements to show your grandfather. But Wei'an, you must know that marriage is a lifelong event. I hope you want to marry Yin Ya because you like her, not because marrying her can bring you any benefits."
Lu Guangjing spoke sincerely, thinking that these words would impress Lu Weian. When the news of the marriage between the Yin and Lu families came out, he guessed what Mr. Lu was planning. Who would have thought that Yan Yue would not follow their arrangement, but Yin Ya jumped out. Lu Guangjing really didn't want Lu Weian to get involved in the power struggle of the Yan family, and wanted to dissuade Lu Weian.
Lu Weian smiled to cover up, "I know my father's worries. Grandpa didn't tell me anything. It's me who likes Xiaoya and wants to marry her."
Lu Guangjing looked at Lu Weian with great disappointment, and bitterness rose in his heart. He tried to make a final effort, "Your mother doesn't like Yin Ya."
Lu Weian was silent for a few seconds, and then said in a cold tone: "Besides Yin Ya, who else do you think will marry me, mother?"
"Weian." Lu Guangjing emphasized his tone.
There was a hint of mockery in Lu Weian's eyes, and the father and son fell into silence, and no one spoke again.
In the living room, Li Caiying had been waiting for Lu Guangjing. When she saw Lu Guangjing coming out, she immediately went to greet him. "How is it? Is Wei'an obedient?"
Lu Guangjing shook his head silently and turned to leave. Since Lu Lingxi's death, he and Li Caiying had talked less and less, until they were speechless. In the past, they could still talk about Lu Weian, but Lu Weian had become more and more unfamiliar, no longer the eldest son in his memory. Now he didn't know what to say to Li Caiying.
Li Caiying saw his expression and immediately took out her anger on Lu Guangjing for Lu Weian's disobedience and asked in a sharp voice, "Lu Guangjing, what do you mean?"
Lu Guangjing didn't say anything, so Li Caiying grabbed the vase beside her and threw it at him. She hated Lu Guangjing's look the most, with a sad expression on his face. In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that everything was her fault. Wasn't it Lu Lingxi who died? Did she force Lu Lingxi to death? Lu Guangjing also agreed to the operation. What was the result? Once the operation went wrong, everything became her responsibility.
The vase broke into pieces at Lu Guangjing's feet, but Lu Guangjing remained indifferent.
Li Caiying's anger was completely ignited. She sneered at him and said in a sharp voice, "Lu Guangjing, do you think you can redeem your sins by acting like this? I tell you, don't even think about it. Why did Wei'an give birth prematurely, why did she get sick, why did Xiaoxi die, it's all because of you, this is all your karma."
Her voice was sharp, and Lu Guangjing looked at her sadly, and in an instant he seemed to have aged ten years.
Li Caiying was right. This was his karma. If he hadn't done something wrong when he was young, Wei'an wouldn't have given birth prematurely, wouldn't have gotten leukemia due to poor health, and Xiaoxi wouldn't have had to suffer for so many years, dying on the operating table at the age of 18.
Over the years, in order to make up for Wei'an's sacrifice of Xiaoxi, he exchanged one son for another, but what was the result?
This is retribution.
