Chapter 272: Second Brother Goes Missing
Lu Yannan glanced outside and said, "If you don't want me to, I'll order him and his family to be kicked out."
Lu Shiman followed his gaze and looked outside.
As if sensing something, Xie Yi stopped and turned to look in their direction.
In the sunshine, Xie Yi grinned, his smile bright and dazzling, like an ostrich egg that had not seen the sun for many days.
"No need, big brother, it's just an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks." Lu Shiman waved his hand and continued, "If each of us eats a little less, it will be enough for Brother Yu Mao and Jiangang."
Lu Chixu waited for the game to load, then turned his head and glanced at Lu Shiman: "You're just feeding chickens."
Lu Shiman met Lu Chixu's gaze and suddenly leaned closer to Lu Yannan: "Brother, did my second brother ever participate in the Metamorphosis Program or something like that?"
"Why does he spend his days either collecting manure or feeding chickens?"
Lu Yannan put down his teacup, looked at Lu Chixu, and said leisurely: "He was lost when he was a child. When we found him..."
"Second brother has been lost before?" Lu Shiman heard this for the first time.
Lu Jianheng had sharp ears and was quick to hear the word "lost". He lost interest in the game and threw down the controller: "Play by yourself. I'm too bad and I'm holding you back."
After asking the servant to fetch a plate of melon seeds, Lu Jianheng sat down next to Lu Yannan and said, "Brother, tell me in detail."
Seeing the third brother coming with melon seeds, Lu Shiman also became greedy: "Brother, wait for me."
I stood up to get some snacks and fruit, but as soon as I stood up, Ji Linshen pressed my shoulders.
"Sit tight, I'll go."
"Do you know what I'm going to do?" Lu Shiman looked up.
Ji Linshen put his slender fingers against her forehead: "If you blink, I will know what kind of sleep you want."
Lu Shiman's expression froze. He glanced at his eldest and third brothers opposite him, and kicked his calves silently with his feet placed under the coffee table.
Lu Yannan saw everything the two did.
After Ji Linshen asked the servants to cut the fruit plate, he went to choose some of her favorite snacks.
Lu Jianheng glanced at the variety of snacks on the coffee table, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Ji Linshen became a little strange.
This Ji Linshen must have secretly investigated the preferences of all of them.
The snack flavors chosen are exactly what each of them likes.
As expected of Ji Linshen, a shrewd man, he even pays attention to such small details as choosing snacks.
I can’t imagine how terrible this person is in private.
Some images have already emerged in Lu Jianheng's mind.
For example, Ji Linshen was in a dark basement, with the walls covered with photos of his entire family, and under each photo was a detailed record of how many times he went to the toilet each day.
Shivering, Lu Jianheng looked at Ji Linshen with a complicated and somewhat fearful look.
His sister is like a magnet, she can attract even this kind of character.
When Lu Shiman saw Ji Linshen sitting down, she immediately put her foot on his leg and tilted her head to urge him: "Brother, tell me about the second brother's disappearance."
Lu Yannan's eyes swept over her unruly sitting posture, his brows furrowed, and his bony fingers stroked the teacup.
His lips moved, and the quick words circled his mouth twice before being swallowed back.
Forget it, my sister has knee pain, and sitting like this should make her more comfortable.
When Lu Chixu heard what Lu Shiman said, he wanted to stop them, but seeing his younger brother and sister's curious looks, he let them go.
"When your second brother was three years old..." Lu Yannan's low voice spread with the fragrance of tea.
Lu Jianheng stopped cracking melon seeds, and even Ji Linshen slowed down his massage of Lu Shiman's ankles.
That year, Lu's mother took Lu Chixu to a charity dinner, accompanied by eight bodyguards.
But when the crystal chandelier swayed in the champagne bubbles, the young master in overalls suddenly disappeared among the elegant clothes and beautiful women.
The first person to discover that Lu Chixu was missing was the bodyguard. When he asked Lu's mother, she knew nothing about anything.
The bodyguards searched the entire seven-star hotel, but Lu's mother was leaning on the chaise longue in the lounge, touching up her lipstick in front of the makeup mirror: "The child is just playing around."
It was also at that time that Lu Yannan vaguely realized that his parents did not love them.
While Mr. Lu mobilized all his forces to cooperate with the police in the search, Lu's father was holding up a placard for a rare gemstone at the auction.
While everyone was anxious about Lu Chixu's disappearance, Lu's mother was trying on an emerald necklace at a high-end fashion show abroad.
In their minds, what was lost was not a living child, but an insignificant item.
Seven days later, the police found Lu Chixu curled up in a cowshed 800 kilometers away.
"When we followed the police car into the mountains, the dew soaked through grandpa's suit." Lu Yannan's Adam's apple trembled. When Ji Linshen brought water to Lu Shiman, he found that his fingertips were trembling.
"My second brother was..."
"All I remember is that the village was hidden in a valley. By the time I arrived with the police and bodyguards, it was already the next morning."
"I was tied up next to the cattle pen." Lu Chixu suddenly added, a sarcastic smile on his face. "The family said they were afraid I would run away, so they tied me up with hemp rope for seven days."
An unnatural blush appeared on his neck, and he gulped down a mouthful of cold water: "Go on, I can't remember clearly."
Lu Yannan stared at Lu Chixu, his voice suddenly becoming softer: "You were chewing on straw stained with cow dung, and when you saw Grandpa reaching out, you thought you were going to be beaten, so you held on to the cow's leg and refused to let go."
Hearing his elder brother's detailed description, Lu Chixu's ears turned red: "Brother! You don't have to be so detailed."
"Emm...he probably didn't eat cow dung." Lu Yannan tried to save face for his brother and added.
Deathly silence spread across the hall, with only the chiming clock on the antique display case ticking.
Lu Chixu felt a lump in his chest. He was 100% sure that his elder brother said that on purpose.
Lu Shiman suddenly withdrew her foot from Ji Linshen's leg, pursed her lips and wanted to ask something, but didn't know where to start.
After listening to this, Lu Jianheng looked at his second brother and suddenly thought of what his second brother said on the day when the villa was smashed.
Lu Chixu met Lu Jianheng's gaze, and in anger, he grabbed the mangosteen from the fruit bowl and threw it at him: "What the hell are you looking at! I'll listen to you."
The peel drew a parabola in the air, revealing the snow-white flesh inside.
"We found out, how did it get lost?" Lu Qiyun suddenly spoke.
Lu Yannan shook his head and tapped the tea table with his fingertips. Lu Jianheng was very considerate and stood up to pour tea for his elder brother.
Just have hands, faster than him.
When Lu Yannan put his hand on the coffee table, Ji Linshen stood up and took the teapot.
"Brother, have some tea." Ji Lin poured the tea carefully and sat down again to peel melon seeds for Lu Shiman.
Lu Jianheng stared at Ji Linshen, secretly cursing this attentive green tea man in his heart!
Lu Yannan picked up the teacup and took a sip, glancing at Lu Jianheng.
Although the eldest brother didn't say anything, Lu Jianheng could still tell from the look his eldest brother gave him.
The eldest brother felt that he had no tact and was scolding himself for being slow.
Ji Linshen's expression remained calm as he handed a small plate of peeled melon seeds to Lu Shiman.
Lu Jianheng was going crazy. Not only could he not compete with her superiors in attentions, but he couldn't even snatch the love and pampering from her subordinates.
Is this guy here to cause trouble?
