No one can truly understand the suffocating feeling brought about by the Lu family.
After leaving the riverbank, Lu Yi quickly walked behind a building and held his chest to calm himself down for a long time.
On the subway home, he took out his phone and sent Lin Xiaoya an apology voice message.
"I'm sorry I startled you. Don't worry, it won't happen again."
That company was the culmination of Lu Baofei's hard work.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this is proof that she actually lived in this world.
Even if she wanted to appease Lu Yi, she couldn't possibly hand over the company to someone else.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have broken up with her boyfriend of several years!
The reason is that the man's family hopes that after their marriage, Lu Baofei will allocate funds so that they can take full control.
Lu Baofei was incredibly shrewd; she immediately turned hostile, completely extinguishing the family's hopes.
Of course, Lu Yi hadn't returned to the Lu family when this happened; he heard about it from Lu Baoyun's grumbling and idle chatter.
The reason why Lu Yi dared to ask for such an exorbitant amount was...
They also found Lu Baofei's weakness.
Now that things have come to this, if Lu Baofei still can't understand what Lu Yi is asking for, then there's nothing anyone can do.
After all, under the influence of the Lu family, their way of thinking has become rigid. Whenever they see someone poorer than them, they assume that the other person has ulterior motives towards them.
...
Dragging his heavy steps, Lu Yi finally arrived at the entrance of the building.
Just as he was about to go inside, a hurried figure suddenly flashed out, startling him.
"Lu Yi, why are you only just getting back!"
Lu Baoyun still had that maroon bag slung over her shoulder, looking at him with a worried expression.
Seeing his arm in a sling, a hint of guilt appeared in his expression.
"Wasn't I clear enough during the day?"
Isn't she the one who wishes she could run herself over with her car?
What? She's still chasing after me wherever I go!
Lu Yi leaned against the wall of the corridor, sighed softly, and even his mouth became lazy.
"I just want to see you."
Lu Baoyun wanted to ask how his injury was recovering, but no matter how she opened her mouth, she couldn't get the words out.
Lu Yi really couldn't understand what she wanted to do.
He frowned. "Lu Baoyun, you drove here, right?"
Lu Baoyun nodded blankly.
It's so far from home, how can I get here without a car?
"very good!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Lu Yi grabbed her arm and started walking downstairs.
Lu Baoyun panicked terribly, "What are you going to do? Let me go!"
She forcefully pulled at Lu Yi's arm, dragged her body backward, and braced her feet against the corner wall, refusing to go downstairs with him no matter what.
Lu Yi stopped and spoke, word by word.
"I know you were disappointed that you didn't kill me last time. Now I can grant your wish. Come on, I'm standing right in front of the car. Go ahead and hit me!"
"If you run me over and kill me, that's my fate. I deserve to die at your hands!"
"If you don't kill me, we're even. From now on, don't bother me again, okay?"
It turns out he was hurt so deeply.
They actually think I want him dead!
Lu Baoyun burst into tears, shaking her head desperately, "No, you're my brother! I've never thought of you that way, I just..."
“But you did it!” Lu Yi interrupted her decisively.
"When you hit me, did you ever think of me as your brother?"
"Afraid of taking responsibility, he kept saying that he was your brother and that he hit me for my own good!"
Lu Baoyun vehemently denied it, "No, that's not true!"
But faced with the facts Lu Yi presented, she couldn't find any reason to refute them; she realized she was terribly wrong, terribly wrong.
"sorry……"
She came today simply to calmly and clearly explain things.
Looking at the dark red scars on his arm, Lu Baoyun felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"Lu Yi, look how badly you're injured. There's no one here to take care of you. Go home; at least you'll have a hot meal there..."
hehe!
A hot meal?
“Lu Baoyun, have you forgotten that I can’t pick up food myself while eating? I have to leave the table whenever someone finishes eating first.”
Lu Yi gazed bitterly at the night sky, as if thinking of distant memories.
"this……"
Lu Baoyun took it for granted at the time and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Although they were supposed to eat together, in reality, the nanny would serve him a separate meal each time, and he would leave the table after finishing his meal.
Lu Baoyun never considered whether Lu Yi had eaten enough.
Looking back now, it seems that many of the Lu family's rules were specifically designed to restrain Lu Yi, because before him, the Lu family did not have such or such requirements for their children.
"Lu Baozhi said I spied on her while she was taking a bath; Lu Baofei said I slashed her bag and that she couldn't enter the main building until I got your approval; Lu Baoqi said I took photos of her privately and posted them online, and deliberately broke her perfume bottle. What do you say..."
Lu Baoyun was speechless.
She scolded Lu Yi the most.
The excuses are always varied.
More than half of them were because they were protecting Lu Han.
Upon closer reflection, it seems that Lu Han had been a witness to all the wrongdoings Lu Yi had committed.
Whenever Lu Han complains to her, she immediately assumes that Lu Yi is in trouble and never listens to his explanations.
Is that all there is to her experience in the Lu family?
no!
That day, Lu Yi was a quarter of an hour late coming home from evening self-study, and the back gate, which was never locked, was now locked with a new lock.
He ran to the front door and rang the doorbell, but no one answered. He dialed all the numbers saved in his phone, but no one answered.
He only found out the next day that the whole family had gone out for dinner on a whim, and because they had so much fun, it was already past midnight when dinner ended, so they all stayed at a hotel.
Coincidentally, both the nanny, Aunt Wu, and the housekeeper, Mr. Xu, took leave at the same time, and the driver, Uncle Wang, went along with them.
Back then, who would have thought that the Lu family had someone like him?
Even if you have a dog or a cat, you'd leave food and water for them before you leave!
Lu Baoyun was heartbroken to hear this, and in the end, she was almost speechless with grievances.
Suddenly remembering his purpose, he hurriedly pulled things out of his bag like a precious treasure.
"Look, I washed the white shirt by hand."
"And this black card, even if you don't use it yourself, you can use it to get your uncle and aunt a better burial plot, right?"
"And these paintings, I repainted them all. If you also like cats, I'll help you convince your parents to let you keep one, no, two, as many as you want!"
"As long as you come back with me, we'll still be family..."
A family?
Who has ever seen a family that bullies one person relentlessly?
"Lu Baoyun, aren't you ashamed to say such a thing? Don't push me to the edge, or you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Lu Yi turned and went upstairs. Seeing that Lu Baoyun hadn't followed, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down weakly on the steps.
After a while, I got up and went home.
Pushing open the door, I found a letter lying on the floor.
"Who slipped it in?"
Lu Yi glanced around, closed the door, and then bent down to pick up the letter.
Calling it a letter isn't quite accurate; it was really just a piece of cardboard folded twice.
The cardstock had a familiar scent.
