Chapter 368 Grievance
When Lu Yi returned to the room, Ye Ran and Yan Xiu'er were changing the clothes of the two children who had just finished bathing.
Upon seeing Lu Yi return, Ye Ran immediately asked, "What did he say?"
Lu Yi stepped forward and helped them take their clothes. "It's nothing. Wu Cheng plans to return the relevant investment rights of the research lab to me."
Ye Ran opened her eyes wide with curiosity, "Really? But wasn't that something he finally managed to get his hands on? Why did he give it up so easily?"
Lu Yi casually remarked, "Because he can no longer afford the research fees for the research lab. Without sufficient research funding, their research lab will be in a stalemate."
By then, the teachers will all be completely lost, which would be a huge waste given the current situation.
Yan Xiu'er couldn't help but interject, "How could there be no research funding? Let's not even talk about Wu Cheng, his father is still alive, isn't he? Didn't his father offer to contribute anything?"
Lu Yi sighed, "Half of those rumors are true; Wu Cheng's parents are indeed getting a divorce."
Yan Xiu'er covered her mouth in surprise, "Really? That's so sudden! They always seemed to have a very good relationship!"
A hint of disdain flashed in Lu Yi's eyes. "How can you believe that? Isn't Wu Cheng's father the one who loves to spout those 'harmony in the family brings prosperity' rhetoric?"
Maybe he was faking it all. The fact that things have suddenly turned out like this can't possibly be solely related to Wu Cheng.
I think a large part of the reason lies with Wu Cheng's father.
Yan Xiuer sighed, "Now that you mention it, I remember that your dad, Wu Yue, and I used to be classmates!"
Back then, he was a bit concerned about his image and had a strong sense of self-esteem.
But after that, we didn't keep in touch for many years. Occasionally, we'd run into each other at banquets, and he and his wife seemed like a loving couple. I never expected this..."
Lu Yi scoffed, "He has nothing to sympathize with. When a family has problems, it's often because the man hasn't done a good job."
"That time I visited the Wu family when I was a child, I clearly felt that Wu Cheng's father was truly an inscrutable person."
Yan Xiuer nodded with a sigh, "That's true! But at our age, to still end up like this, I can only imagine how wronged Xu Fang must feel."
Lu Yi chuckled, "Mom, what are you saying? Where are you old? Aren't you going to watch Jiaojiao and Zhengzheng grow up, get married, and have children?"
Yan Xiu'er chuckled, "Yes!"
Wu Cheng returned to his current residence, a small house belonging to his maternal grandfather, which was definitely not comparable to the large courtyard where they used to live.
But under the current circumstances, having a place to stay like this is already a very comforting thing.
Wu Cheng gently pushed open the door and saw his wife hurrying towards him, "You're back! Come and eat!"
Seeing that Li Min was in even better spirits than before, Wu Cheng paused before following her inside.
"You haven't eaten yet? What time is it? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"
Xu Fang came out carrying a bowl of soup. "How could I not wait for you! Come on, Minmin taught me how to make this soup today. I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've ever cooked! I wonder if it'll taste good!"
Wu Cheng sat down at the table, looking at the clear, warm chicken soup, and felt a warmth spread through his heart.
"It looks delicious! Mom, Minmin, you should sit down and eat too!"
