Although the Lu family is considered a wealthy family, it is still somewhat different from a multinational wealthy family like the Rong family. Rumors outside say that he is cunning and has many tricks up his sleeve, and Lu Mingyuan also admires him to some extent.
However, their businesses are completely unrelated, so there's no need for them to fawn over each other.
Lu Mingyuan asked with some curiosity, "Why did you decide to run away in the first place?"
“Brother Lu, I can’t just live like that, mindlessly serving them like a slave for the rest of my life. At first, I thought I could go anywhere as long as I got out of there. Later, I also thought about going to the place where you are to find you. But the outside world is so big, I don’t even know where to look for you. That’s how I ended up in Beicheng by some twist of fate.”
Lu Mingyuan put down the book in his hand and looked at the graceful woman in front of him with a complicated expression.
"How did you get through that time?" he asked, his throat dry.
Knowing that Lu Qingyan was adopted at that time, we know she couldn't have been very old. What kind of life would a young child, all alone, stumble and fall into this place lead?
“At first, I thought that as long as I helped them with chores like I did at home, they would give me food and a place to sleep. But later they told me that I was too young and didn’t have an ID card, so they wouldn’t let me stay there. Sometimes I would wash dishes for the old lady in exchange for food, and sometimes I would beg for charity like those people wandering the city. Until I met Rong Xu, who adopted me.” Lu Qingyan calmly recounted these seemingly difficult days, but now, thinking back, it didn’t seem so painful. She had already gritted her teeth and made it through, so those hardships didn’t seem so bad anymore.
Lu Qingyan had never told Rong Xu about these past events; she didn't want that person to know about her shameful past. But with Lu Mingyuan, Lu Qingyan had nothing to hide.
"Qingyan, it's alright, those things are all in the past." Lu Mingyuan said from the side, and Lu Qingyan noticed that his eyes were a little red.
Lu Qingyan nodded: "Yes, that's all in the past."
"Then tell me how you ended up here?" Lu Mingyuan hadn't forgotten such an important matter. He looked at the faint handprint on Lu Qingyan's face and felt somewhat displeased.
Lu Qingyan knew that Rong Xu had a strong grip, and the handprint on her face was probably not completely gone yet. Lu Mingyuan could definitely tell what had happened. When asked by him, she only vaguely replied, "I had a fight with Uncle Rong."
Lu Mingyuan could tell that Lu Qingyan didn't want to talk about this topic, so he didn't press the matter. He simply asked, "Since you've already had a fight, are you still going back to live here?"
Lu Qingyan shook her head.
"Do you have a place to stay now?" Lu Mingyuan then asked.
Lu Qingyan shook her head again.
Lu Mingyuan was both annoyed and amused: "You don't even have a place to stay, and you still dare to run away from home with Rong Xu?"
Lu Qingyan looked up at Lu Mingyuan. Lu Mingyuan didn't refuse her, so he could only say, "Stay at my house for now. If you need anything, just tell your sister-in-law."
Hearing this, Lu Qingyan was a little surprised: "Brother Lu, are you already married?"
Lu Mingyuan nodded, a deep smile in his eyes, and said, "We got married at the end of last year."
