Lu Jiwen stopped in his tracks.
He seemed to have guessed something in a daze, and slowly walked over.
He doesn't love Xie Yuqiong, but they've been husband and wife for decades, so his feelings are complicated.
Upon seeing the state of the room, he staggered a few steps.
"Should we call an ambulance?"
Lu Mochuan slowly turned his head upon hearing his voice. His face was streaked with tears, and he shook his head.
It's beyond saving.
Lu Jiwen stood frozen at the door, not daring to take a step.
On the day of Xie Yuqiong's funeral, very few guests came to pay their respects; only a few of her close friends from the past.
Lu Mochuan absentmindedly memorized their names when suddenly a black skirt came into view. He hadn't seen the face yet, but his whole body tensed up.
He didn't even dare to lift his head.
Han Yuxi stood in front of him and asked softly, "As your classmate, may I come and pay my respects to Auntie?"
Lu Mochuan's eyes instantly reddened. "You haven't gone back yet?"
"There are so many fun and beautiful places in Lucheng. Since I'm here, of course I want to have a good time and explore them."
"Um."
Lu Mochuan wrote Han Yuxi's name down in his notebook, then led her inside to burn a few sticks of incense.
As they came out, Han Yuxi said, "Please accept my condolences."
"I'm fine."
"I will stay in Lucheng. Call me if you need anything."
Lu Mochuan was silent for a while before saying, "You've been here for a long time. You should go back as soon as possible, or your aunt and uncle will worry."
Han Yuxi looked at him like this, feeling both disappointed and heartbroken.
She said, "I talk to them on the phone every day, so you don't need to worry about me."
"good."
With tears in her eyes, and fearing she might lose control, Han Yuxi said she would go back first.
Lu Mochuan didn't try to stop her, but his eyes welled up with tears after she had walked away.
Han Yuxi didn't even have the courage to look back; she was afraid she would be disappointed.

Lu Jiwen's verdict was announced. Originally, he was sentenced to death, but at Lu Jitong's request, Lu Zhengye commuted the death sentence to life imprisonment.
Lu Jitong's original words were, "Death is too easy. I can guarantee that he will suffer a lot in there. The monotonous and boring life day after day will destroy his soul."
When Lu Ji heard the verdict, he went completely insane.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted nothing more than to rush over and kill Lu Zhengye and the others, while he was cursing filthy words.
“You unfilial son, I should have strangled you when you were born. You shouldn’t have come here alive. You and your mother are both dead.”
The security personnel at the court held him tightly, preventing him from wandering off.
Lu Zhengye had already reached the door, but stopped in his tracks after hearing those words.
He didn't bring Fanfan today. Lin Yusheng stood beside him, her face full of worry. "Aye, let's not worry about him."
Lu Jitong originally wanted to say a few words of advice, but Lu Zhengye had already started walking back.
Seeing that he walked steadily and looked relatively calm, no one stopped him.
Lu Mochuan stood up worriedly, walked to Lu Zhengye's side, and said, "Brother, don't listen to Dad."
Lin Yusheng: "He's just your dad."
Lu Mochuan was speechless. His family members were on both sides, and he felt suffocated as he was caught in the middle.
Lu Zhengye walked around him and stood in front of Lu Jiwen.
Lu Jiwen spat at him without any regard for his image.
Lu Zhengye put his arm around Lin Yusheng's waist and took a big step back so that he wouldn't get his saliva on her.
He looked coldly at Lu Jiwen, then sneered, "What a coward. Xie Yuqiong dared to die, but you don't even dare to die."
Lu Jiwen's pupils dilated in shock; he was startled.
He opened his mouth wide, but had no words to refute it, and could only stare at Lu Zhengye.
Lu Zhengye was unwilling to waste any more time, so he turned around and left with Lin Yusheng in his hand.
...
After Lu Jiwen goes to prison, the once glorious Lu family of Lucheng will cease to exist.
All of Lu's businesses were merged into state-owned enterprises, resulting in a dramatic change overnight, and the internet was abuzz with the news.
At this point, another trending topic appeared.
#Young Master Lu Donates 1 Billion Yuan to Impoverished Areas#
This incident has sparked heated discussions among netizens.
Some people sympathize, while others mock; this is the norm in the world.
Lin Yusheng was with Lu Zhengye when she saw this incident.
"1 billion yuan, that should be the largest amount Lu Jingneng could leave to Lu Mochuan, right? If he donates it all, won't he be left with nothing?"
Lu Zhengye was also surprised, and he replied, "It should be."
"I can tell you still care about him. Why don't you meet him?"
Lu Zhengye thought it was a good idea, so he wanted to call Wei Qing and ask him to check Lu Mochuan's phone number.
The call was answered very quickly after it went through.
At first, neither of them spoke. Lu Zhengye didn't know how to start the conversation, while Lu Mochuan was afraid that he had guessed wrong and that the person on the other side might not be his second brother.
But seeing that the person on the other end remained silent for a long time, he realized that there was only one person in his circle with this kind of awkward personality.
"elder brother?"
Lu Zhengye: "It's me."
Lu Mochuan, who was at the airport, smiled knowingly.
Lu Zhengye said, "You've donated all the money, what are you planning to do with it now?"
"I am an adult, I can earn my own money and spend it myself."
"You..." Lu Zhengye wanted to say something, but Lu Mochuan interrupted him with a smile.
"Brother, you'll always be my brother, right?"
“Yes.” Lu Zhengye replied almost without hesitation.
Lu Mochuan smiled and said, "That's good. Don't worry about me. I've always been alone abroad. I just want to go out and clear my head. I'll come back to find you."
Lu Zhengye knew that he already had his own plans, so he stopped trying to dissuade him.
"Okay, then be careful. Call me if anything happens, and remember to tell me if you run out of money."
"Hmm, will you invite me to your wedding with your sister-in-law?" Lu Mochuan asked this question with some trepidation.
"meeting."
Lu Mochuan felt relieved and said, "Then I'll board the plane."
...

Everything is over, and finally everything has settled down.
Lin Yusheng invited her and Lu Zhengye's friends to her home.
The group includes Yan Wuyong's family, Wen Shengyao, Yi Jinchen, Qin Yi, Wen Nian and Shen Yishu, as well as Gao Yu and Pei Shushu.
When Wen Nian and Shen Yishu appeared together, Lin Yusheng's expression became meaningful.
Shen Yishu pretended not to see and went straight to her godson.
"The more suspicious it is, the more sinister it seems," Lin Yusheng thought to herself.
When Qin Yi appeared, Lu Zhengye kept staring at him, especially when he went to greet Lin Yusheng.
Seeing this, Yi Jinchen mocked him, "President Lu, you already have a child, why do you have to act like you're protecting a baby every day?"
Lu Zhengye glared at him.
Yan Wuyong said, "Someone like you who has a constant stream of girlfriends wouldn't understand his deep affection."
Yi Jinchen: "Why do I suspect you're indirectly praising yourself?"
Yan Wuyong took a sip of tea and did not deny it.
Yi Jinchen rolled his eyes; it seemed he had been put on the spot.
