Lu Mochuan was no better off than Han Yuxi. The girl in front of him was the one he loved, the heiress of the Han family in Country D. They were originally a perfect match, but now...
He felt inferior and backed down.
He was afraid he couldn't give her happiness.
Han Yuxi didn't know how to react. They really weren't together, so she didn't even have the right to cry or make a scene.
"I'm sorry, I was just being presumptuous."
After she finished speaking, she grabbed her bag and ran out. If she had been a second slower, she wouldn't have been able to leave so decisively.
Lu Mochuan remained motionless until he heard the car drive away, at which point he dropped all pretense.
He raised his forearm to shield his eyes, preventing the tears from falling and blocking out all the light, plunging himself into darkness.
...
Han Yuxi drove her red Ferrari at high speed down the road. She opened the car window, letting the cold wind lash her cheeks and dry her tear stains.
She kept repeating in her heart: Han Yuxi, don't cry, don't be sad.
But the more she read, the more upset she became. She felt the noodles she had just eaten churning in her stomach, and she couldn't tell whether it was her heart that was hurting or her stomach that was hurting.
Finally, she couldn't take it anymore, so she parked her car next to a trash can and squatted down to vomit.
Han Yuxi's eyes were filled with tears again. Smelling the mixture of vomit and garbage, she burst into tears, crying, "Han Yuxi, you...you're disgusting. It's just a breakup, why are you acting so pathetic?"

After Lu Zhengye settled Lu Jitong in, he received a message from Qin Yi.
Only two words: "Smoothly."
He's launching a crackdown on the black market tonight; it's been planned for a long time and should catch them off guard.
Lu Zhengye stared at those two words for a long time, and finally it was almost over.
When he got home, he found the lights were still on.
Lu Zhengye strode inside and saw Lin Yusheng asleep on the sofa, covered with a blanket.
His heart softened, and he unconsciously slowed his pace.
But as he was about to pick up Lin Yusheng, she opened her eyes.
Lin Yusheng naturally wrapped her arms around his neck, nuzzled his neck affectionately, and asked sleepily, "Aye, you're back?"
"Yeah, didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"
"I can't sleep without you, the bed is cold."
Lu Zhengye knew she was talking nonsense, but he enjoyed it.
Lin Yusheng was no longer sleepy and wiggled her feet. "Carry me upstairs, honey."
"Okay." Lu Zhengye's steps were faster than usual as he went upstairs.
...
After the two finished showering, Lin Yusheng was fully awake, but a little tired.
Lu Zhengye said, "Lu Jitong should cooperate with me."
"Is he an important member of your plan?" Lin Yusheng asked.
"No, why do you ask that?"
"Because I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable interacting with the Lu family."
Lu Zhengye was surprised by this reason and his lips curled into a smile.
His heart skipped a beat, and he leaned down to plant a kiss on the corner of her lips.
"Neither he nor Lu Mochuan ever hurt me or my mother, so I don't hate them."
Lin Yusheng hugged his waist tightly and said, "That's good."
"Also, I want Lu Jiwen to experience what it's like to be abandoned by his family."
Lin Yusheng nodded.
"Qin Yi's crackdown on organized crime is going very smoothly, and he will probably be able to find something to use against the Lu family soon."
"It's about to end."
"Yes, it's almost over."
Lin Yusheng closed her eyes and recalled, "Winter in Jiangnan isn't very cold, and the sun feels warm on your skin. Ah Ye, let's go back and make dumplings this year."
"Okay." Lu Zhengye smiled indulgently, even looking forward to this day.

The day the Lu family's businesses were investigated, the first snow of winter fell in Lucheng.
Although Lu Jiwen had already noticed something and moved most of the firearms to cover up the evidence, the more he did, the easier it was to expose his flaws.
Lu Zhengye and Qin Yi worked together to gather evidence and anonymously reported the case to the police.
Soon, the entire Lu family was taken away for investigation.
Taking advantage of this juncture, Lu Zhengye directly issued a lawyer's letter, accusing Lu Jiwen of imprisoning an unmarried woman and deceiving her into having a child; and accusing Xie Yuqiong of disregarding human life, concealing her husband's mistakes, and finally sending two living people to the Island of the Dead out of jealousy.
Lu Jiwen was already at his wit's end, so he remained relatively calm when he received the news.
But the next lawyer's letter struck him like a bolt from the blue.
Almost simultaneously, it went viral online.
#Lu Jitong accuses his younger brother of poisoning their father and framing him#
#Lu Zhengye and Lu Jitong actually joined forces#
#Summary of Lu Jiwen's Crimes#
#Lu family manufactures and illegally trades firearms#
For the first time in history, there wasn't a single celebrity gossip item on the trending topics; it was all dominated by the Lu family.
In the living room of the Lu residence.
Lu Jiwen's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at the words on his phone in disbelief, his whole body trembling.
"Lu Jitong, when did he come out?"
He seemed to be muttering to himself.
But Lu Mochuan responded to him, "Seven days ago."
Lu Jiwen suddenly looked up and demanded, "How did you know?"
"Grandpa told me." Lu Mochuan leaned back wearily on the sofa.
Lu Jiwen's anger flared up, and he stood up, pointing at him and shouting, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Lu Mochuan sneered, "Telling you means I'll let you silence me?"
"I am your father."
“But you’re not a good person,” Lu Mochuan said calmly.
Lu Ji felt a tightness in his chest and collapsed onto the sofa.
