As soon as Qin Fengying saw her son, her eyes immediately filled with tears.
"Han'er, you're finally back! Your mother was so worried she couldn't sit still or stand up... Baozhi, is Han'er alright now?"
She hugged Lu Han tightly, looking him up and down.
On the way back, no matter what Lu Han said, Lu Baozhi didn't respond to him.
Seeing her ashen face, Lu Han lowered his stance and took the initiative to make amends.
"Mom, don't ask anymore. The fact that I'm back means nothing's wrong!"
"Your older sister is tired too, let her go back to her room to rest!"
"Is my third sister alone in the hospital? Should I go and keep her company now?"
The more Qin Fengying looked at her son, the more heartbroken she felt.
Touching his cheek, she said, "You're already overwhelmed with your own problems, yet you're still thinking about your third sister. I called Baoyun and asked her to come over... Are you hungry?"
"Mom, you two chat, I'm going upstairs to take a shower!"
Lu Baozhi wasn't unable to accept the close bond between mother and son, but rather couldn't understand why her mother was so stubbornly clinging to this idea.
"Alright, alright, you go ahead... Aunt Wu, quickly bring out the dishes you've prepared!"
Qin Fengying didn't care what time it was; she absolutely couldn't miss the first meal her son had when he got home.
Wu Ma rubbed her heavy eyelids and slowly walked out of the kitchen carrying the dishes.
"Madam, the food is all here. Can I pack it up tomorrow?"
She's getting on in years and shouldn't be able to stay up all night.
I've been out and about all day, and my body is starting to feel the strain.
"Aunt Wu, you've been running around all day looking for Third Sister, you must be tired. Go to sleep, I'll take care of myself."
Lu Han turned Wu Ma's shoulder and pushed her into the room.
Although Wu Ma knew his personality, she still felt very pleased. "Thank you, young master. I'll get up early tomorrow to make your favorite snacks."
Lu Han didn't genuinely care for this old woman.
Instead, he thought she was in his way.
Qin Fengying set out the bowls and chopsticks, her eyes full of smiles as she stroked her son's head.
“My son has grown up and knows how to be considerate of his elders. I’m so happy for you.”
Lu Han obediently sat down.
He paused as soon as he picked up his chopsticks, his lips curving downwards.
"Mom, I found out about my older sister being fired by accident. No wonder she's been so down these past few days. Don't blame her."
"Anyone would feel bad if they encountered something like this."
"My brother's uncle was already on his deathbed, but he insisted on making a big fuss about my older sister's misdiagnosis, which caused my older sister to be investigated by higher authorities..."
He wanted to say that Lu Yi was narrow-minded and ruthless in his actions.
But after a moment's thought, he realized that a straightforward comment wouldn't be as profound as letting Qin Fengying experience it for herself, so he took a different approach.
“Your eldest sister has always been very competitive since she was a child. This time, being criticized by the whole college must have been a big blow to her self-esteem.”
Qin Fengying never expected that even the most reliable Lu Baozhi would end up in this predicament because of her biological son, Lu Yi.
After sighing and groaning, his eyes quickly welled up with tears.
"Son, I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for your sister too!"
"When Lu Yi wasn't home, you two were very loving and inseparable, and you never had any conflicts. But ever since..."
The thought of her family falling apart made Qin Fengying choke up and unable to continue speaking.
Lu Han sighed at the opportune moment.
"My fourth sister is all alone out there. I wonder if she's doing well!"
“My eldest sister is unemployed again, and my third sister is in poor health. If this continues, our Lu family will soon become a laughing stock in Jiangzhou.”
"Mom, how about I go with you to talk to my brother tomorrow and see what he wants, so we can agree to everything first?"
"I've thought it all through. Even if my brother wants me to leave the Lu family, I'll do it... Mom, the Lu family's reputation is more important than me!"
By retreating in order to advance, Qin Fengying is not worried.
"Han'er, don't say such silly things. In your mother's heart, you are the most important."
"Eat your food first and go to bed early. Tomorrow, I'll go talk to your brother and get to the bottom of things. I'll see just how much more he wants to harm the Lu family before he's satisfied!"
Qin Fengying was indeed angered.
A pair of tear-filled eyes blazed with fury, and her face flushed slightly.
"Mom, you should eat too..."
Lu Han achieved her goal. After eating a few bites, she said she was full and took the initiative to get up and clear the dishes.
Seeing how sensible he was, Qin Fengying pursed her lips, feeling increasingly uneasy.
After he came out of the kitchen, he asked in a low voice, "Han'er, tell Mom honestly, when you went to see the lawyer that day, did you think this day would come?"
Old Wang isn't very good at lying.
He confessed everything as soon as Qin Fengying threw a tantrum.
She didn't pay attention at the time.
It suddenly occurred to me today that Lu Han might have really gotten into trouble, which is why she deliberately didn't contact the Lu Group's lawyers.
Hearing her ask such a serious question, Lu Han lowered her head in "shame".
"Mom, you're the one who has to pay off my debts, and you're the one who has to clean up my messes after I got into trouble. I really don't know how to thank you enough!"
He understood Qin Fengying's thoughts better than the worms in her stomach.
She is only sensitive to kind words; she won't listen to a single harsh word.
The more pitiful you appear, the softer she will be.
"You don't need to worry about the money. Even if it's just a few hundred thousand, Mom can still make the decision about a few million."
"Tell Mom, why exactly did you go to see an outside lawyer?"
Lu Han saw that the opportunity was right in front of him.
He snuggled into Qin Fengying's arms and cuddled for a while.
"Mom, it wasn't me who caused the trouble. It was a friend of mine, or more precisely, a friend I met online."
“The police had called me before and asked what my relationship was with him. That’s when I found out he had committed a crime.”
"Today it's because the police found out I changed my number and they think I'm in cahoots with him... Mom, all my numbers are in your name, you know that."
"After canceling the previous one, I just used a new one. I didn't know they would suspect me because of this."
Qin Fengying was completely confused.
She did indeed get several parent-child cards so that her son could have easier access to the internet.
Qin Fengying didn't care at all which cards he was using.
"Oh, so the day you asked me to authorize this was to cancel the SIM card?"
Qin Fengying realized too late that she had been following the master's advice and was praying for Lu Han in her room upstairs.
She listened casually to what Lu Han said on the phone and then let it go.
Qin Fengying rubbed her temples. "Where is your friend now?"
"He's been locked up in the police station, and I doubt he'll be out anytime soon... Mom, he's so pitiful, I just wanted to help him."
Lu Han sniffed, once again putting on a convincing act.
"Okay, son, don't cry. I'll call the lawyer tomorrow and have him handle this."
"No matter what he did wrong, help him if you can. Mom knows you are a loyal and righteous person and won't let you lose face in front of your friends."
Qin Fengying's suspicions about this adopted son completely disappeared.
I tossed and turned all night, only managing to close my eyes as dawn approached.
Early in the morning, just as dawn was breaking, she knocked on Lu Yi's door.
"Yi'er, Mom is very worried about you. Can I come in and talk to you...?"
