After comforting the old man, Lu Yunzhang, exhausted, walked to the living room sofa and sat down. Lin Wanwan sat opposite him, and the two remained silent.
Before long, Lu Hua, Li Yuan, and Lu Xue'er all came out.
"That Lu Yunyi is really outrageous." After being tormented for so long, Li Yuan had nowhere to vent her anger.
Lu Xue'er said arrogantly, "Grandpa is confused. If he wants to divide the family, then so be it. He'll still have to rely on our second branch of the family in the future."
Lu Yunzhang glanced around. "Where's Yunyi?"
"I...I've gone out," Lin Wanwan said timidly.
Seeing that she was still in shock, Li Yuan assumed that she was frightened by the scene of the argument. She cursed inwardly for being petty and uncouth, but considering that she was pregnant with her grandson, she didn't say anything too harsh.
"Go and rest, don't tire out my grandson."
Lin Wanwan was indeed still shaken, but not because of Old Master Lu, but because of the words Lu Yunyi had whispered in her ear before he left.
She did not refuse Li Yuan's suggestion and got up to slowly go back to her room.
Now she needs to calm down and think carefully about how to deal with the policy. In any case, her secret must not be exposed.
On her way back to her room, she could still faintly hear Li Yuan and the others talking in the living room.
"Mom, how can you be so sure that woman is carrying a boy? What if she isn't?" Lu Xue'er asked.
Li Yuan snorted, "She'd better have a baby, otherwise..."
Lu Xue'er immediately understood what her mother meant and said disdainfully, "Even if it's a son, having a mother like this is truly the worst luck imaginable."
Lin Wanwan clenched her fists, her teeth almost drawing blood from her lips.
After a while, she pushed open the door and went in, sat on the bed, and stroked her slightly protruding belly.
She endured it.
Once she gives birth to a son, she will then take good care of Li Yuan and Lu Xue'er.
snort.
A shadow crossed Lin Wanwan's eyes. No one could stand in her way; if anyone dared to, they would die.
In the living room, Lu Yunzhang listened to his mother and sister's words, feeling irritated.
"I'm going back to my unit." He stood up abruptly, grabbed the car keys from the coffee table, and was about to leave.
Lu Hua quickly asked, "Next week is your grandfather's birthday, do you have time off to come back?"
Lu Yunzhang nodded, a hint of fatigue on his handsome face. "I can come back."
Having received an affirmative answer, Lu Hua didn't say much more, just told him to drive carefully that night. Lu Yunzhang nodded perfunctorily and drove towards the military base.
By the time we were halfway there, it was completely dark, and only the car headlights were illuminating the road.
Lu Yunzhang parked his car on the side of the road, rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, took a puff now and then, stared at the night sky, and replayed the events of the day in his mind, becoming more and more agitated.
Finally, open the storage box on the center console and take out a key.
“Property…” he murmured, “Why covet what belongs to others?”
As he looked at it, a ruthless look appeared on his face. He flicked his wrist and threw the key out the window.
Listening to the clinking sound of the keys hitting the ground, Lu Yunzhang thought about many things, and the image of Old Master Lu in his mind gradually began to crumble.
He was both amused and exasperated.
"How ironic."
Two minutes later, the cigarette burned out, but he still opened the car door, picked up the key, and casually tossed it into the glove compartment.
He glanced at you twice and said helplessly, "If I have the chance, I will return you to your true owner."
I just don't know if there will be another chance.

Today is the day Uncle is discharged from the hospital. Wen Mo and Wen Shiyu went to pick him up, while Lin Xiaoxiao stayed at home.
The courtyard of Wen Mo and Wen Shiyu next door has been renovated and looks brand new. They will move next door from the day their uncle is discharged from the hospital.
"This yard is nice, and there's even some space on the side to grow vegetables." Grandpa Chu also came over with Lin Xiaoxiao to join in the fun.
Lin Xiaoxiao surveyed the yard and smiled, "It's indeed suitable for growing vegetables."
But she felt that Wen Shiyu might prefer planting flowers.
As for growing vegetables, she has plenty of land there. Qin Yushen likes to tinker with these things when he's free. The vegetables he planted after the New Year have already been harvested once.
"They're back." Hearing the car turn off outside, Lin Xiaoxiao knew it was Wen Mo and the others.
Just then, Wen Mo pushed his uncle in.
The uncle sat in a wheelchair, his face slightly pale, but he looked to be in good spirits overall.
"Grandpa, are you feeling better?" Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't been to the hospital for two days. It wasn't that she didn't want to go, but her uncle wouldn't let her.
She was told that she was pregnant and couldn't go to the hospital too often.
I was afraid of hurting the child.
The uncle smiled kindly, "You're much better now, don't worry."
Grandpa Chu stepped forward, looked him over a few times, and nodded with satisfaction, "You look much better than before."
After chatting for a while, seeing that Uncle was starting to look tired, Grandpa Chu quickly said, "Go and rest. Once you've recovered, we'll have plenty of time to chat."
"Excuse me." The uncle did not refuse, and Wen Mo and the bodyguard escorted him back to his house.
Lin Xiaoxiao asked Grandpa Chu to stay for lunch, but he suddenly had a whim to go to the military region to see Chu Wuyi, so he had his guard drive him away.
At this moment, Chu Wuyi, who was just getting by in the cultural troupe, was unaware that he was about to be ambushed.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Wen Shiyu strolled hand in hand around the yard, discussing what to plant and what facilities to add.
We had lunch in the new courtyard.
Uncle can't eat greasy or spicy food for the time being, he can only drink some porridge or light side dishes.
"Dad, these are pills to strengthen the body's foundation. Give Uncle one every two days." After finishing her meal, Lin Xiaoxiao took out a box from her bag. Inside the box were ten pills, a month's supply.
With Wen Shiyu's healed eyes as an example, Wen Mo did not question the efficacy of the medicine his daughter offered and accepted it without hesitation.
"I'll keep an eye on what Uncle eats, don't worry."
The uncle said, "I don't need you to watch me; I'll eat on time."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and took out a small box containing only one pill.
Wen Mo took it, looked up at his daughter, and asked, "Is this for me?"
"Mmm." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded obediently.
Wen Mo smiled, raised his hand and rubbed her head, "Good girl, Daddy didn't spoil you for nothing."
Lin Xiaoxiao: "......"
She messed up her hair.
Wen Shiyu noticed her daughter's resentment, pulled Wen Mo's hand away, and said irritably, "Your hands are so strong, look what you've done to her little head."
Wen Mo glanced at her and met his daughter's deep gaze.
He coughed awkwardly.
Lin Xiaoxiao, with her hair in a mess, went back to take a nap. Wen Mo escorted her back to the courtyard and watched her go inside before going back himself.
Although Wen Mo and Wen Shiyu did not live in the same house as Lin Xiaoxiao, they still ate together.
