Chapter 173 Lu Yuan and Lu Ziyu were taken away by mistake
"Lu Yuan, what did he mean? What do you mean he will enjoy the Lu family's life on your behalf? What do you mean he was brought back by mistake? What's going on between you and him?" Gu Qingshi asked directly.
Lu Yuan was about to get off the car, but he pulled back his hand after hearing this, "It's just what he said."
Without letting Gu Qingshi guess, Lu Yuan gave the answer directly, "He was taken to the Lu family by mistake and lived in the Lu family for fifteen years instead of me. And I didn't know I was a member of the Lu family until I was fifteen, so I returned to the Lu family..."
Gu Qingshi’s eyes suddenly widened. She had seen such a plot on TV, but she never expected it to happen to Lu Yuan.
Gu Qingshi was shocked. "Since they already knew that he was taken away by mistake, why is Lu Ziyu still in the Lu family, still calling mom and dad?" Lu Ziyu drove a small car, and his clothes were not cheap, looking like a rich young man. Gu Qingshi asked, "Or maybe the family he was taken back to is also very well-off?"
"No." Lu Yuan shook his head. "He is still in the Lu family because the Lu couple said they had raised him for fifteen years and were reluctant to send him away. Lu Ziyu also didn't want to make them sad, so they kept him as well. They said that since I was born a few hours earlier, I would be the older brother and he would be the younger brother."
Gu Qingshi frowned. This was really outrageous. Lu Yuan said that the Lu family couple didn't even call each other mom and dad, and it seemed that their relationship wasn't particularly good. She thought of a lot of things, but what she was most concerned about was, "What about you before? Were you doing well before?"
Lu Yuan was prepared for Gu Qingshi to ask many questions, but he didn't expect her to ask this one.
Someone had asked this question before, but not many people asked it, and many people asked it only after knowing the other answers. After all, he was nothing before returning to the Lu family, and no one cared about his previous life. Only Gu Qingshi asked it so quickly.
What she cared about most was not the issue of the Lu family's heir, nor who was more favored and valued between Lu Ziyu and him, but whether he had lived a good life before.
In the past, Lu Yuan was too lazy to answer such questions, but this time, looking at the concern in Gu Qingshi's eyes, Lu Yuan answered very seriously, "Not good, I almost starved to death."
Looking at Gu Qing, his brows slightly furrowed. Lu Yuan was in a rare mood to talk. After many years, he told his story, "I told you that I didn't want to starve to death so I cooked. Do you remember?"
"Yes, I remember." Gu Qingshi nodded.
"So you can imagine what kind of life I lived in the past. Qing Shi, I was so pitiful."
If anyone heard Lu Yuan's words, especially those who suffered at Lu Yuan's hands, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood. Although Lu Yuan's situation was indeed bad at that time, he was not pitiful at all. He was a school bully and a student bully. Just imagine what he was pitiful for? It was the others who were crushed by him in terms of both strength and intelligence!
However, Lu Yuan did not talk to Gu Qingshi about his campus life as a top student and a school bully, nor did he mention the passionate past of how he made Fang Wen his younger brother. He mainly talked about his life experience.
"As far as I can remember, Shi Shulan has been scolding me. Oh, Shi Shulan is my adoptive mother. She doesn't work. She plays cards and mahjong every day. She never cares about me. She scolds me whenever she sees me. I almost died of hunger, cold or disease in her hands. Fortunately, she later sent me to my grandfather's house in the countryside."
Lu Yuan didn't tell Gu Qingshi that Shi Shulan would invite her male poker friends to her house to hang out, causing people around them to call her shameless and even beat her.
Shi Shulan was beaten and scolded, and then Lu Yuan also got beaten and scolded by Shi Shulan. She scolded Lu Yuan, saying that she found other men just to make him eat, and she scolded him every time he ate, which was why he always hated eating.
He said that he would rather starve to death than have Shi Shulan feed him like this, but he refused to eat and Shi Shulan never changed.
He had a sensitive sense of taste and hated the perfume and powder on Shi Shulan and the smell of those men. He hated their teasing and dirty talk even more. His childhood experiences had an impact on his later years.
Regardless of whether they were men or women, he had seen their most miserable side long ago, which led to the later rumors that he did not like women.
The calculations in those women's eyes were exactly the same as Shi Shulan's.
But after meeting Gu Qingshi, all these seemed to be much better, so Lu Yuan didn't mention it for fear of dirtying Gu Qingshi's ears.
He had a very difficult childhood, but he also had some happiness, because Shi Shulan was unreliable, but his grandfather was very good and reliable. Although he had lived in the countryside all his life, was honest and could not say a single nice word, he really loved his grandson.
Like many people, he thought that teacher and doctor were the best professions and he hoped Lu Yuan would become a doctor. Lu Yuan did not disappoint his expectations. When his health was deteriorating, he skipped a grade and was admitted to the best medical school in the country at the age of fifteen.
But before Lu Yuan could go to school to become a doctor, he fell ill and his health deteriorated. In addition, the transplant surgery was too difficult for them at that time, so he passed away.
From that time on, Lu Yuan became very interested in organ transplantation, and did not stop his medical career even after returning to the Lu family.
After seeing his grandfather off, Lu Yuan went to the imperial capital. Because of his outstanding academic performance and special family situation, he was selected as a sponsor. The person who sponsored him at that time was Grandpa Lu.
That was the first time Mr. Lu saw Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan was fifteen years old, his eyebrows and eyes had grown, and he looked completely like a member of the Lu family, especially his eyes, which looked much more like Lu Ziyu at home.
The investigation revealed Lu Yuan's identity, and the incident of the wrong child was exposed. The news that the heir of the Lu family was taken away by mistake became big news at the time, and all kinds of rumors were spread. From the perspective of Mr. Lu and Lu Yuan, they would kick Lu Ziyu out without hesitation.
But his biological mother was heartbroken after seeing Lu Ziyu being ridiculed once. After Lu Ziyu cried a few more times, she cried and shouted that Lu Ziyu was her life and if they wanted to drive her away, they would drive her away as well. Later, Lu Ziyu took root in the Lu family completely.
Lu Yuan was taken back to the Lu family, but unfortunately there was another Lu Ziyu at home.
The Lu couple said that they felt guilty and loved him, and would definitely compensate him, but their feelings for him were not as strong as those for Lu Ziyu, who they had raised. They unconsciously favored Lu Ziyu and always sided with him.
If it weren't for the Lu family having Old Master Lu as the mainstay, who has the final say in the family, it would be unknown whether Lu Yuan would still be in the Lu family.
Lu Yuan didn't talk about the past in detail, but after just a few words, Gu Qingshi almost understood that his biological parents were partial and loved Lu Ziyu more.
"I didn't expect you to have such a background." Gu Qingshi was really surprised. "I saw that you were well-educated and noble, and I thought you were a child of destiny who was born with a silver spoon in your mouth."
