Lu Ze did not return until the weekend. Wu Huaiqing came twice during that time to deliver messages to Lu Ze.
This time, Lu Guoliang's matter was used by Lu's family's rivals, who wanted to take this opportunity to attack Lu's family's old residence, and even went so far as to have people coerce and entice Lu Guoliang.
Fortunately, with the help of Commander Wang, and the assistance of my father's old friends and subordinates, including my elder brother and sister-in-law's connections, plus the fact that the Lu family had previously published a notice in the newspaper severing ties, things finally took a turn for the better, minimizing the impact.
My parents, older brother, and sister-in-law were not implicated.
However, in this matter, Lu Guoliang's family had a very close relationship with the Su family. Although he was unaware of many of the things the Su family did, he still benefited from them.
The person was saved, but it's unlikely they'll be able to stay in their original position.
According to the information brought back by Wu Huaiqing, they may be sent down to the countryside.
This is already the best result they could get after Lu Ze and his team helped.
Otherwise, given what Lu Guoliang did for the Su family, their fate would be hard to predict.
Wu Huaiqing said that Lu Ze would be back today, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Knowing that Lu Ze and the others were alright, Yu Yao finally relaxed.
She was pushing her bicycle toward her own yard when she ran into Sister-in-law Meihua.
"Yu Yao, you have guests. They've been waiting at the gate all afternoon. Go back and check on them!"
"A guest?" Yu Yao was puzzled, unable to figure out who it could be.
Su Meihua said, "He's a young man, about your age, and this tall. Oh, by the way, he said he's Commander Lu's nephew. His name is Lu something-Qi."
"Lu Yunqi?" Why is he here at this time?
"Yes, let's call him Lu Yunqi."
"Thank you, Sister-in-law Meihua, I'll head back now."
Yu Yao thanked Su Meihua and rode her bicycle home.
At this time, Lu Yunqi's visit to their house definitely wasn't to see her. If I'm not mistaken, he must have come about Lu Guoliang and his wife's matter.
From afar, Yu Yao saw a person standing at her door, dressed in military uniform and carrying a military satchel. It was none other than Lu Yunqi.
Lu Yunqi also saw her, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
It's been so long since I've seen Yu Yao, she's gotten even more beautiful! The sun on the island is so strong, yet it didn't tan her or make her look ugly; her skin is still fair, rosy, and radiant.
Her uncle really dotes on her like a treasure, but I wonder if she will regret this happiness of living like a widow in the future.
Lu Yunqi's gaze fell on Yu Yao's little golden deer bicycle, and he felt a pang of sadness.
As expected, women are all superficial, and Yu Yao is no exception. She pretended to be so aloof at first, but in the end, she still coveted her uncle's status and money.
A country girl, now even rides a Golden Deer bicycle.
Yu Yao rode to her front door, stopped, took out her key, and opened the gate. "Come in."
Lu Yunqi followed him into the courtyard. Before he could even take in the view, he saw a black and white shadow rushing towards him like lightning, barking as it went.
"Where did this stinking dog come from!" Lu Yunqi retreated in a panic, kicking Sixteen. "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Just as the big dog was about to catch up with Lu Yunqi, Yu Yao called out to Sixteen in time.
"Sixteen, stop."
Sixteen obediently stopped, barked twice at Lu Yunqi as a warning, then turned around and followed Yu Yao, wagging its tail like a windmill.
Occasionally, when he sees Lu Yunqi, he will bare his teeth and growl.
Lu Yunqi dodged the dog while looking around.
A private plot of land has been set up in the yard, filled with various vegetables and fruits, which are now blooming thrivingly.
The passion fruit trellis is lush and verdant, with green fruits hanging among the branches and leaves. In a corner, a few chicks are pecking at the fruit.
A scene of tranquility and warmth.
Lu Yunqi couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness again. "You were so determined to choose your uncle back then, but now you're still stuck in the countryside, working in the fields and growing vegetables."
Yu Yao rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay him any attention.
Seeing that she ignored him, Lu Yunqi became somewhat embarrassed and angry. "Yu Yao, so what if you seem glamorous on the surface? Who knows how much you're crying behind the scenes? What are you so proud of?"
"Shut up!" Yu Yao was already annoyed, and he still had to rush up to make things worse. Her patience was completely exhausted. "What are you yelling about? Can't you see I don't want to talk to you?"
Yu Yao's attitude angered Lu Yunqi. "Aren't you just like everyone else? You look down on me because you know my parents are in trouble. Let me tell you, our family won't just fall apart like this. My uncle is a very sentimental person. We're family, and he will definitely not stand idly by. Don't even think about interfering!"
Yu Yao turned around, crossed her arms, and looked at him: "Lu Yunqi, do you know what kind of person you are right now?"
Lu Yunqi pursed his lips, looking at her with a gloomy expression.
Yu Yao sneered: "It's just like a cornered dog jumping over a wall."
Lu Yunqi's expression changed; his sensitive, fragile, and insecure heart felt deeply insulted. "Yu Yao, you..."
"Don't speak." Yu Yao interrupted him, her tone carrying a hint of warning: "If you want your uncle to help you, you'd better not let me hear anything from you that would upset me."
"Are you threatening me?" Lu Yunqi said with a gloomy face. "Do you think your uncle would listen to an outsider like you? Don't forget, we are the ones with blood ties. You are just a woman your uncle married as a temporary measure."
Yu Yao smiled, but her eyes held a hint of coldness. "You said it yourself, we're husband and wife, so naturally your uncle will listen to me. If you don't believe me, what are you afraid of?"
Lu Yunqi gripped his military satchel tightly, his face dark as he remained silent.
Yu Yao ignored him, went to the bedroom to change into work clothes, fed the chicks with broken brown rice, and then went to weed the private plot, acting as if Lu Yunqi didn't exist the whole time.
Lu Yun didn't say a word the whole time, afraid that Yu Yao might cause trouble at any moment and really interfere.
Yes, he was scared.
In the past, relying on his memories of the future, he was completely arrogant and conceited.
But now, Lu Guoliang and his wife have been arrested, and the Su family has also fallen.
Everything is different from the previous life. His grandparents and uncle are barely able to take care of themselves, and his uncle is his only hope.
His parents couldn't be harmed; if they were sent to the countryside, the opportunity he had painstakingly earned through feigning compliance and actively trying to gain a recommendation to attend university as a worker, peasant, or soldier would be lost.
Therefore, he must endure the show of force that Yu Yao gave him today.
Once we get through this hurdle, things will definitely get better and better. Only then will we have the chance to see Yu Yao regret how she treated him today.
"When exactly is my uncle coming back?" Lu Yunqi glanced at his watch, growing more and more anxious.
Yu Yao said, "I don't know."
Lu Yunqi sat up abruptly, burning with anger. "Yu Yao, I know you still have feelings for me and want to take revenge on me, but I really have something to do today. Don't push your luck!"
Before he could finish speaking, and before Yu Yao could say anything, Lu Ze's icy voice rang out from behind, "Who are you saying still has feelings for you?"
