Song Shaohua's actions, which caused such a stir, were due to his long-standing presence in Beijing, which made him arrogant.
In fact, I regretted it the very next day.
But the deed was done, and his superiors had their eyes on him. He had originally planned to go south and make a name for himself, but unexpectedly, his plans collapsed.
He then received a secret letter from Han Xiu, reminding him not to be confused and to cut his losses and save his life.
Song Shaohua was somewhat unwilling, but money was important, but life was more important.
In the end, he lost a large sum of money to settle the black market issue, and then left the south in disgrace, heading to the southwest to settle down for a while.
Han Xiu and the others were unaware of what happened next.
At this moment, he was still having dinner with Qin Yushen and Lin Xiaoxiao. While they were eating, Han Xiu suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, your stepmother's younger brother is engaged to Lu Xue'er from the Lu family, right?"
Lin Xiaoxiao and Qin Yushen looked up at the same time, exchanged a glance, and then looked at Han Xiu. "They're engaged. What happened?"
Han Xiu's face revealed a meaningful expression, "That kid is really bold. He's already engaged and still keeping a woman outside. Although the Lu family has fallen on hard times, Lu Xue'er's older brother, Lu Yunzhang, is not someone to be trifled with. He's really not afraid of crashing and burning."
Keeping women as lovers?
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. "Where's the address?"
Seeing her excited expression, Qin Yushen affectionately patted her head.
Sigh, my wife's love of watching the drama hasn't changed at all.
Han Xiu quickly gave the address.
It was quite a coincidence. When he went to investigate a contact of an enemy agent, he happened to see Qin Huaijun sneaking into a courtyard. He looked suspicious and there was something wrong with him.
They thought it was a secret rendezvous, but when they climbed over the wall, they found out he was secretly keeping a woman on the side.
Han Xiu had a very bad impression of Qin Huaijun.
When he was a child, he often saw Qin Huaijun bullying Qin Yushen. He was two-faced, and he had been good at pretending since he was a child.
They become even more vicious as adults than when they were children, and their underhanded schemes are endless.
Even if someone is very good at studying, if they don't have much ability, their limited skills will make it difficult for them to climb the corporate ladder.
Lin Xiaoxiao was very curious about Lu Xue'er's attitude if she knew that Qin Huaijun was keeping a woman outside.
She had previously thought that with the Lu family's facade torn off, Qin Huaijun would also be implicated by the Lu family due to their marriage ties. However, she never expected that Qin Huaijun was also quite capable and had actually caught the eye of an old man.
Putting everything else aside, even just for the sake of the Lu family's connections, Qin Huaijun had no choice but to let the marriage continue.
After Lu Yunzhang returned the key, he clarified to the public that Wen Mo had set the fire, and that the culprit was Lu Ze, who had already been stabbed to death by Wang Jingxiang.
Wang Jingxiang has been abused and beaten by Lu Ze for so many years. She is nearly 1.7 meters tall but weighs less than 80 kilograms and has never had a full meal.
They also have to bear the pain of their child dying in the fire because of their own negligence.
Upon learning that Lu Ze was the arsonist, and that Lu Ze had been the one smearing Wen Mo from beginning to end, and that Lu Ze was the one who killed her child, and that the old master Lu had actually bailed Lu Ze out to prevent the Lu family's scandal from being discussed again, without clarifying the situation, allowing outsiders to subconsciously continue to regard Wen Mo as the murderer.
Wang Jingxiang was filled with resentment and pain. On the night Lu Ze returned, she took advantage of him being asleep and slit his throat with a knife.
He then committed suicide.
Old Master Lu fainted on the spot and was sent to the hospital. Outsiders had many speculations about the couple's deaths. After Lu Yunzhang dealt with everything, he revealed the truth to the public.
Twenty years later, discussions about the Lu family have once again erupted in Beijing.
Brothers fighting, brothers killing each other, wives killing husbands, severing ties, dividing the family property, being cuckolded...
It's even more exciting than a traditional storybook.
The Lu Cheng and Lu Xian families have taken Lu Yunyi back to the Northwest and publicly declared that they have no further connection with the Lu family.
People in the circle gradually distanced themselves from the Lu family, and even old comrades who were close to Old Master Lu stopped contacting him much.
But since Grandpa Lu was hospitalized, they still went to visit him.
Lu Yunzhang was the most affected. He was summoned for talks by Han Ming and Chu Xiaonian several times, and he knew that it was impossible for him to be promoted in the short term.
After all, the Lu family has a really bad reputation.
At a time when this bad trend is being cracked down on, if the Lu family were an ordinary family, they would have been forced to step down long ago.
"Commander, Political Commissar, I volunteer to be transferred to guard the border," Lu Yunzhang said.
Han Ming sighed, "Things haven't gotten that serious yet. Old Chu and I will take the pressure, so don't overthink it."
Lu Yunzhang hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Chu Xiaonian said, "Your father is still in the hospital, and he won't recover anytime soon. If you're not in Beijing to oversee things, what will happen to the family?"
Lu Yunzhang turned off the engine.
Yes, no matter what, he can't abandon his grandfather.
"Understood, Commander, Political Commissar, thank you." He saluted and left the office.
Han Ming shook his head. "This child... sigh, what a pity."
Chu Xiaonian thought it was alright, "With his abilities, he could have climbed up without relying on the Lu family. The Lu family is actually a burden to him."
There's nothing we can do about having such a family.
In the end, it was Old Master Lu who was confused. He schemed and plotted, but gained nothing and instead harmed his descendants. If it weren't for Lu Yunzhang, his later years would have been miserable.
Han Ming's brows relaxed slightly. "He's a smart kid."
Everyone said he was stupid for revealing his family's shameful secrets and making himself a laughingstock.
