Lu Hengchuan, the head of the Zhongjing Lu family, is also Lu Lingxi's grandfather in the previous life.
Wang Shuxiu didn't know much about the past. She only knew that Lu Yishui's mother was a maid in the Lu family, and later she didn't know how Lu Yishui was born. At that time, Lu Hengchuan had already married and had children. Wang Shuxiu's mother-in-law left the Lu family sadly and returned to Fengcheng alone. Xiao Feng and Yan Yue already knew what she said, so it was the first time Lu Lingxi heard it.
He looked at Wang Shuxiu in a daze. He thought he could get rid of his past life after a new one, but he didn't expect to be involved with the Lu family. Lu Lingxi couldn't tell what he felt, and he pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
His expression fell into Yan Yue's eyes. Yan Yue's heart skipped a beat. He didn't care what Wang Shuxiu would think. He stretched out his hand to embrace Lu Lingxi and whispered, "Xiaoxi, I'm with you."
Lu Lingxi came back to his senses and nodded slightly.
Wang Shuxiu noticed that Lu Lingxi's reaction was a little strange, and asked nervously: "Xiaoxi?"
Lu Lingxi forced a smile, "Mom, I'm fine. What happened next?"
"Later?" Wang Shuxiu became angry when she said this. She slammed the table hard and said, "Later, a child of the Lu family got leukemia. I don't know what your grandmother was thinking. Among so many people in the Lu family, no one was willing to come out for matching. Only your grandmother insisted on holding you to save people. That old bastard Lu Hengchuan..." Before she finished speaking, Xiao Feng poked her helplessly, reminding her to be careful with her tone.
Wang Shuxiu was a little unhappy, but she still paused and continued, "Lu Hengchuan usually doesn't care about your grandmother, but he actually agreed at this time with a thick face. I, your mother, chased you all the way to Zhongjing to snatch you back. Let me tell you, none of the Lu family is a good person, they are all a bunch of selfish ghosts. I, your mother, firmly disagree with the idea of recognizing your ancestors. As for Lu Hengchuan, that old Wang... Lu Hengchuan wants to be your grandfather, but it's impossible. Either he or I, or I or he!"
Xiao Feng: “…”
He knew that Xiaohua would definitely not be able to hold back her anger given her temper. When Xiaoxi was still in Kunnan, Xiaohua was so worried that she couldn't sleep at night, fearing that Lu Lingxi would be fooled back by the Zhongjing Lu family. After all, she had been an ordinary person for half her life, and the Lu family and them were really people from two different worlds. To put it bluntly, for any ordinary person, if a big consortium like the Lu family suddenly came out one day and said that you were your relative and wanted to take you back, and compensate you with money, fame and everything, there would be very few people who could not help but be tempted. Even if Xiaoxi was obedient and sensible, and didn't care much about money, there was no guarantee that Xiaoxi would soften her heart if the Lu family fooled her and played the emotional card.
Wang Shuxiu was worried about this, and she vowed to Xiao Feng that if the Lu family played the emotional card, she would do the same. It was not easy for her to raise Xiaoxi for so many years, and when the time came, she would hug Xiaoxi and cry, and Xiaoxi would definitely not want her to be sad. As a result, he did not see Xiaohua's tears, but saw her temper first.
Xiao Feng sneered in his heart, and Wang Shuxiu came to her senses and felt that she was a little too impulsive. But when she saw Lu Lingxi, she thought about the child she had worked so hard to give birth to and raise, and the Lu family shamelessly snatched her once and wanted to snatch her a second time, and she couldn't hold back her anger.
"It's either him or me, it's either me or him." She repeated it again hatefully, "You little bastard, do you remember it?"
Although Wang Shuxiu's words were simple and rough, Lu Lingxi was innocent but not stupid. He could imagine Wang Shuxiu's difficulties in the past and her anger now. He looked at Wang Shuxiu and nodded with pursed lips. After thinking for a while, he assured in a low voice: "Don't worry, mom, I won't go back to the Lu family. My family only has you and dad, big brother Yan, uncle, aunt, and Dahei and Xiaohei."
Upon hearing his name, Dahei, who had been squatting at Lu Lingxi's feet, immediately straightened up and rubbed against Lu Lingxi's legs dependently.
Lu Lingxi touched Dahei's head, and suddenly felt relieved. It seemed that after he said this, all the connections with the Lu family were severed. Not only physically, but more mentally, and with Lu Lingxi in the previous life.
It has been almost a year since Lu Lingxi woke up from July last year. Although he tried not to think about his previous life, he would occasionally see news about the Lu family on the Internet. Every time at this time, he would think of the life of the Lu family, his parents in his previous life, and...his brother. When he was alive, all he could feel was tiredness, not just physically, but also the boundless exhaustion of the soul. He knew that his life was not normal, but he acquiesced to this abnormality. His parents' education and his brother's expectations made him accustomed to that kind of life, and he never knew how to resist...until he died once.
Since his rebirth, his life is completely different from the past. He knows nothing and is groping for learning and living little by little. He is very fortunate to have Wang Shuxiu, Yan Yue, Dahei, and Xiao Feng by his side. They told him what family is, what parents are, and what it feels like to love someone. Although this body is once again related to the Lu family, which makes him feel a little complicated, this time he is not alone. He has his parents, Yan Yue, and Dahei by his side. He is Lu Lingxi, but he is no longer the Lu Lingxi of the past. He has learned and has the courage to say no to his past life and the Lu family.
These thoughts only lasted for a moment, and Wang Shuxiu smiled with satisfaction, "I know that I didn't raise you in vain."
"..." Xiao Feng, "Okay, Xiaoxi came back to clean up and eat, and didn't have time to rest. Now everything is fine, Xiaoxi, you and Yan Yue go back to sleep first, we can talk about it in the evening."
Wang Shuxiu had solved a problem, and she was more pleasing to Yan Yue. She took the initiative to say, "Yan Yue, take Xiaoxi to the next door to rest for a while, and remember to come over for dinner in the evening." She thought that Xiaoxi would be more willing to talk to Yan Yue about some things. Although Xiaoxi had expressed her opinion now, she must have had some thoughts of her own when she first heard such big news. Anyway, she had already informed Yan Yue, and it was a good opportunity to let Yan Yue help her, so that she could be completely relieved.
Wang Shuxiu and Xiao Feng had said so, and Yan Yue readily pulled Lu Lingxi up and said, "Then Xiaoxi and I will go back to the next door first."
"Go ahead." Wang Shuxiu said very cheerfully.
Yan Yue smiled, and Dahei had already run over and used his claws to pry open the balcony door.
Lu Lingxi said nothing more and followed Yan Yue back to the next room. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he was not sleepy for a moment, so he squeezed on the sofa with Dahei in his arms and read a book. After a while, Yan Yue came out of the bathroom and also tried to squeeze on the sofa.
Dahei and Yan Yue looked at each other for a while, then vacated their seats with grievance, lay down on the carpet under the sofa, and put their heads in front of Lu Lingxi.
Lu Lingxi smiled while holding the book, and stretched out his hand to scratch Dahei's chin in a soothing manner. Yan Yue stretched out his arms and hugged Lu Lingxi in his arms, kissed his wet hair, kissed his face, and said softly: "Xiaoxi, do you want to tell Brother Yan anything?"
Lu Lingxi subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but an impulse suddenly surged in his heart. He hesitated for a few seconds, looked at Yan Yue with clear eyes, and said hesitantly: "Brother Yan, I have a secret to tell you."
Yan Yue's heart moved, and he slowed down his tone even more, "What?"
Lu Lingxi took a deep breath and said seriously: "I am actually Lu Lingxi, Lu Lingxi from the Zhongjing Lu family."
He had heard Ye Kang and Yan Yue talk about the Lu family in the past, and knew that Yan Yue knew about the Lu family. He had been hesitating whether to tell Yan Yue about his origins. He used to avoid it, but now he has the courage to face it calmly. He thought Yan Yue would find it strange and ask him what he meant by this sentence? Who knew that Yan Yue lowered her head and kissed him, and said in the same serious tone: "I know."
Lu Lingxi suddenly opened his eyes wide. Was Yan Yue’s understanding what he meant?
Seeing Lu Lingxi's reaction, Yan Yue felt soft in his heart and chuckled, "Xiaoxi, do you remember that you were drunk once?"
"At mom's wedding?"
Yan Yue hummed, "That time you told me you wanted to tell me a secret, and I already know it all." Of course, private investigations do not count.
Lu Lingxi blinked, unable to react for a long time. He was originally going to tell Yan Yue a secret, but now it seemed like the opposite. "Brother Yan, don't you think it's strange? He died and came back to life..." Lu Lingxi asked slowly.
Before he could finish, Yan Yue interrupted him, "If you hadn't survived, Xiaoxi, how could Brother Yan have met you? No matter what the reason is, Brother Yan will only be happy."
"Then I don't want to recognize the Lu family again, I..."
"I know." Yan Yue kissed Lu Lingxi's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Even if you want to go back to the Lu family, Brother Yan will stop you. Don't think too much, Xiaoxi. You have nothing to do with the Lu family now. You have your own new life. Everything about the Lu family is over. Do you understand?"
"Yeah." Lu Lingxi nodded vigorously and completely put his worries to rest.
Lu Hengchuan didn't know Lu Lingxi's attitude yet. He was busy dealing with the aftermath of Sun Li's bribery that was exposed at the beginning of the month. Although the Lu family sacrificed Lu Weian without hesitation and pinned the blame on Lu Weian for Hepu's bribery of Sun Li, the people were not fools after all, and the reputation of the Lu family was still affected. With the help of several forces in the dark, the matter became more and more serious, directly leading to the suspension of the qualifications of several new drugs developed by the Lu family in the past one or two years, and waiting for the drug administration to re-investigate. For this item alone, the loss of the Lu family is incalculable, not to mention that the Lu family's stock has plummeted for a month, and the market value of the Lu family has evaporated by nearly 20% in the short term.
"What did Yan Shihui say?"
In the chairman's office of Lu Group, Lu Hengchuan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and asked his eldest son Lu Chengwen behind him.
Lawrence Lu frowned and said, “Yan Shihui said he knew about it, and he will deal with it.”
"Deal with him?" Lu Hengchuan sneered. "Yan Shihui had been smooth sailing for half his life, but he suffered a big setback because of Yan Yue. He thought he had everything under control, but he didn't even know what Yan Yue had been doing for the past year. Now that Yan Yue has bitten back, our Lu family has been implicated. He wants to just brush it off with a word of "deal with him". He is dreaming."
The news of Sun Li's bribery was too bizarre, and the news could not be suppressed afterwards. Lu Hengchuan suspected that someone was behind it. He followed the clues for nearly a month and found many black hands behind it. There were competitors of the Lu family and the hand of old man Ye from the Ye family. What surprised him most was that Yan Yue was also involved, and the first one to take action was Yan Yue.
Lu Hengchuan was shocked and immediately thought of Yan Shihui. Everyone in the circle could see Yan Shihui's thoughts clearly. He was simply being won over by the woman around him. He wanted to leave all his property to Yan Yue and feel sorry for his future children, so he tried to balance them. Didn't he even consider whether Yan Hai was the right material? He just kept suppressing Yan Yue and forcing Yan Yue to give way to Yan Hai. Now, Yan Yue dared to do this, which meant that he was going to break up with Yan Shihui. Did Yan Shihui still think he could control Yan Yue? He wanted to see how Yan Shihui would deal with it.
Lu Hengchuan didn't take Yan Shihui's words to heart. All the losses of his Lu family were caused by Hepu, and Yan Shihui would give him an explanation. He was thinking about another thing now, how did Yan Yue get involved with Lu Lingxi?
