When Yan Yue received the call from Wang Shuxiu, he was really surprised for a while. Excluding the possibility that Wang Shuxiu had called the wrong number, it could only be that the other party wanted to talk to him about something.
As expected, Wang Shuxiu's first question was to ask whether Lu Lingxi was with Yan Yue. She had something to say and hoped that Yan Yue could avoid Lu Lingxi.
Yan Yue glanced in the direction of the bathroom, then stood on the balcony with his phone in hand and said, "Xiao Xi isn't here right now."
Wang Shuxiu breathed a sigh of relief and briefly explained Lu Lingxi's life story. She didn't have anything to hide from Yan Yue. Although she didn't want to admit it, Yan Yue could be considered half of Xiaoxi's family. "The Lu family is not a good family. Who knows what they are plotting behind the scenes. They will definitely come after Xiaoxi. I will stop them in Fengcheng. You take Xiaoxi to play in Kunnan for a few more days. Don't rush back. If the Lu family finds their way to Kunnan, you help stop them and don't let them find Xiaoxi."
Across half of China, Wang Shuxiu solemnly warned Yan Yue. She had discussed with Xiao Feng that this matter must be told to Lu Lingxi, but not now. Lu Lingxi had never been out of the house, and it was rare for her to go out to play. Wang Shuxiu really didn't want to bother Lu Lingxi with these troublesome things. She thought that she should let Lu Lingxi have a good time for a few days, and she would talk about it after returning to Fengcheng. But she was worried that the Lu family would be shameless and chase them to Kunnan, so she talked to Yan Yue first. Didn't Xiao Feng say that Yan Yue was capable? He entrusted the matter of stopping the Lu family to Yan Yue.
After Wang Shuxiu finished speaking, Yan Yue's eyes darkened, and the gentleness in his eyes was completely suppressed, like a deep pool without waves, calm but full of coldness. "I know." His voice was steady, and all his emotions were suppressed in his heart.
Wang Shuxiu gave a few more instructions, nothing more than asking Yan Yue to take good care of Lu Lingxi. When Wang Shuxiu hung up the phone, Yan Yue looked quietly in the courtyard, his eyes as sharp as a knife. He didn't expect Xiaoxi to be involved with the Zhongjing Lu family again. Wang Shuxiu was worried that the Lu family would get involved with Xiaoxi, but he was worried about how Xiaoxi would accept this. From the last time Xiaoxi was drunk until now, Yan Yue saw clearly that Xiaoxi was unwilling to have any intersection with the Lu family. He never mentioned the Lu family in front of Xiaoxi, and he didn't want to irritate Xiaoxi. But this matter...
Yan Yue clenched his phone tightly. Wang Shuxiu didn't know why the Lu family suddenly wanted Xiaoxi to return to her ancestral home, but he guessed that it was Zhu Gang who caused the trouble. He thought that Zhu Gang's childbirth would make the Lu family notice Xiaoxi's existence, but he never thought that the subsequent development would be like this. If I had known earlier... Yan Yue sighed. There is no such thing as knowing earlier in this world.
While he was deep in thought, the bathroom door behind him opened and Lu Lingxi ran out wearing a baggy T-shirt and with wet hair.
"Brother Yan?" Lu Lingxi leaned out and looked outside the balcony. "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I came out for some fresh air." Yan Yue turned around and looked at Lu Lingxi with a smile. His expression was doting and gentle, without any trace of the sinisterness just now.
Lu Lingxi blinked and immediately believed Yan Yue's words. He found out as soon as he got off the plane today that compared with Fengcheng, Kunnan was a bit hot and stuffy. Chen Jian said it was because it was cloudy and it might rain, and it would be fine when the sky cleared up. Thinking of this, Lu Lingxi also wanted to go outside to get some fresh air, but just as he was about to go out, Yan Yue stopped him.
"Let your hair dry before you go out." Yan Yue said as he went to find the hair dryer provided by the hotel. Lu Lingxi followed Yan Yue obediently, sitting cross-legged on the big bed in the hotel, waiting for Yan Yue to blow dry his hair.
Xiao Hei swam down from the pillow and wrapped around Lu Lingxi's fingers. Lu Lingxi picked up Xiao Hei in a good mood and asked with a smile, "Are you awake?"
Xiao Hei nodded stupidly and wagged his tail as if to answer Lu Lingxi's question.
Lu Lingxi didn't bring Big Black and Little Black with him this time when he came to Kunnan, but who knew that Little Black actually hid in his luggage and got on the plane with him. Lu Lingxi didn't find Little Black until he was sorting his luggage at the hotel. It was a rare opportunity that he didn't get caught by security and made it to Kunnan smoothly. "Little rascal." Lu Lingxi poked Little Black's tail and tied it into a knot out of habit.
Xiao Hei hissed twice and tried hard to get out of the knot. Lu Lingxi looked at Xiao Hei with evil intentions and couldn't help but think of Da Hei. "It would be nice if Da Hei was this small too, so that I could just put him anywhere and take him with me."
Yan Yue walked back and heard this and laughed: "Next time we drive out by ourselves, we can bring Dahei with us."
Lu Lingxi nodded, looking up at Yan Yue with trust. He had just taken a shower, and his eyes were clear and bright, like a gem that had been moistened by water, without a trace of haze in them. Yan Yue's heart trembled, and he raised his hand and ran it through Lu Lingxi's soft and wet hair, pressing him into his arms.
The light-colored shirt was soon stained with water stains. Lu Lingxi leaned against Yan Yue's chest and heard the strong heartbeat inside.
"Brother Yan." He called vaguely.
Yan Yue hummed softly, hugged Lu Lingxi quietly and said nothing more.
Because he had an appointment with Mr. Zhang to go to the botanical garden early the next day, and because he was tired after running all day, Lu Lingxi fell asleep before 10 o'clock in the evening. Yan Yue held him all the time, and when he saw him sleeping soundly, she bent down and kissed his lips, then carefully stood up and walked to the balcony with her phone.
Ye Kang was a little surprised when he received Yan Yue's call, and joked: "You are not holding Xiaoxi at this time, but calling me!"
Yan Yue ignored Ye Kang's joke and said directly: "The Lu family of Zhongjing has found Xiaoxi."
"What? Did the Lu family cause trouble for Xiaoxi?" Ye Kang immediately became serious. Although he was not very interested in business, it did not mean that he did not understand the twists and turns involved. How great the prospects of Zhugang were could be seen from the fact that the old man in the family made the investment decision without hesitation. It was normal for the Lu family to want to participate. Compared with the three investors of Zhugang, the Ye family was powerful and the Lu family did not dare to move; Zheng Xinhe was famous and mastered the technology of Zhugang, so the Lu family must have mainly tried to win him over; the only soft persimmon that was easy to squeeze was Weiyuan Gardening, which had no background or support.
His reasoning was reasonable, and Yan Yue also thought so at first. However, Yan Yue said in a deep voice, "Xiaoxi's father, Lu Yishui, is Lu Hengchuan's illegitimate son. The Lu family came to ask Xiaoxi to recognize his ancestry."
"What?" Ye Kang suddenly raised his voice, looking completely shocked. "Ah Yue, are you serious?" He immediately realized that the Lu family forced Lu Lingxi to recognize his ancestry, in the final analysis, it was for Zhu Gang, and it was only natural for the Lu family to get involved.
"What did Xiaoxi say?" What Ye Kang was most concerned about now was Lu Lingxi's attitude.
Yan Yue's eyes were sinister, and he said calmly: "Xiaoxi doesn't know yet. It was Xiaoxi's family who said it. They don't want Xiaoxi to recognize her ancestry."
"That's good." Ye Kang breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as Xiaoxi doesn't want to, the Lu family can't force Xiaoxi to recognize the Lu family no matter what."
That's what they said, but the Lu family's behavior angered Yan Yue. Just like what Wang Shuxiu scolded, what kind of life did their family live before, and the Lu family didn't even mention their existence. Now that they see that there is profit, they immediately come up and say something about recognizing their ancestors. Lu Hengchuan has been so high and mighty for too long, thinking that the whole world revolves around him.
Yan Yue knocked lightly on the balcony fence and said in a cold voice, "Akang, go find An Jie tomorrow and ask him to expose the fact that the winter ling grass formula in Yin Ya's hands is a semi-finished product according to the plan. Then report Sun Li from the Food and Drug Administration for taking bribes and make this matter a big deal."
Just before Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi came to Kunnan, Yin Ya finally applied for the approval of the new drug of winter ling grass with the help of the Lu family. The person in charge was Sun Li from the Drug Administration, who was also a long-time friend of the Lu family. Yan Yue originally planned to postpone this matter for a while and expose it when Hepu invested more in new drugs, but now Yan Yue decided to plan ahead. The main target of the attack also changed from Hepu to the Lu family.
The Lu family has cooperated with Sun Li a lot in recent years, and basically all the new drugs developed were handled by Sun Li. Once Sun Li's violation of regulations in the release of semi-finished new drugs is exposed, coupled with appropriate public opinion guidance, even if the drugs launched by the Lu family in recent years are fine, they will become problematic in the eyes of the public. When the Lu family is in chaos, let's see if Lu Hengchuan will still be in the mood to run to Fengcheng to recognize his relatives.
After Yan Yue finished speaking, Ye Kang was slightly stunned. He felt that Yan Yue's anger seemed to be beyond his expectations. To be honest, the Lu family's recognition of the family was indeed disgusting, but in fact, the Lu family was poaching the Ye family, so the Ye family should be the most angry. But compared to his reaction, Yan Yue's hostility towards the Lu family was simply not concealed.
Ye Kang immediately said, "Ayue, calm down. Now is not the best time to reveal that there is a problem with the formula of Hepu's wintergreen grass. Although this incident can hit the Lu family, the impact on Hepu may not be as great as expected." Of course he was willing to disgust the Lu family, but more from Yan Yue's perspective, he felt that there was no need to go so far.
Yan Yue lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the cold light in his eyes, and said calmly: "It's okay, I know what's going on."
Since he insisted so much, Ye Kang didn't say anything else and simply agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Yue quietly returned to the room. Lu Lingxi had been sleeping, and under the warm yellow bedside lamp, his sleeping face was peaceful and serene. Yan Yue carefully lay down on the bed. Lu Lingxi noticed the movement on the bed, and he automatically leaned over and got into Yan Yue's arms. Yan Yue looked at him and smiled slightly, then lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead. Lu Lingxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, like the wings of a butterfly. Yan Yue thought he would wake up, but Lu Lingxi just leaned into his arms and continued to sleep.
The smile in Yan Yue's eyes deepened. Just watching and doing nothing, his heart was filled with indescribable sweetness and satisfaction. He thought he was willing to do anything, just for Lu Lingxi to live a safe and smooth life. Whether it was Lu Hengchuan or Lu Yishui, no matter who it was, he would not let them affect Lu Lingxi's life.
"Xiaoxi, I love you." Yan Yue hugged Lu Lingxi tightly, lowered his head and said softly.
Lu Lingxi heard his words in a daze and responded instinctively: "Brother Yan, I love you too."
Yan Yue's eyes lit up and he smiled silently.
