Upon seeing Lu Yi, Huang Xiaoqiang's knees buckled, and he knelt down with a thud.
"I didn't do anything. I know that Young Master Lu Han wants me to take the blame, so I've been trying to stall for time..."
"Please forgive me, I didn't want this to happen, but I had no choice."
He sincerely repented, feeling sad and wronged.
She clung tightly to Lu Yi's clothes, as if grasping at the last straw.
Huo Jingxi agreed to give him the money because he had confessed honestly; he wanted him to disappear from Jiangzhou and get out of there with the money.
But he can't leave the Lu family like this.
Qin Fengying promised him not only the withheld portion of his salary, but also his year-end bonus, various benefits, including a car worth 100,000 yuan.
He has a good-for-nothing older brother who is getting married soon and really needs this car.
Before leaving Jiangzhou, he had already called his parents and said he would drive back in a few days to help his brother set a wedding date.
If he only gets a sum of money and leaves in a huff, who knows how the Lu family will cause him trouble in the future!
He has no one to turn to now except Lu Yi!
Because he had heard people say that Lu Yi was the real young master of the Lu family.
Not only does he have exceptional business acumen, but he also has such enviable interpersonal skills.
The two aloof young masters of the Gu family help him manage his business, the eldest daughter of the Gu family shields him from both open and hidden attacks, and the only daughter of the Fan family gradually pulls him into the Fan family clan...
The executives of the Lu Group were all eager to make a move.
If Lu Yi were to start his own business one day, they would resign without hesitation.
There was no other reason than that I was drawn to Lu Yi's character.
Where is Xiaoyue?
Lu Yi glanced at him a few times, then raised his eyelids to look at the burly man standing by the window with his hands behind his back.
He has changed.
At that time, Huo Jingxi and Gu Huaibei were similar in build, tall and slender, and wherever they went, they would become the focus of attention.
His noble air was innate; when Lu Yi first saw him in the cemetery, he was stunned for a long time.
He couldn't believe that there really was a man from an ancient story.
But now, he was tall and strong, but one of his legs seemed to be not very convenient, and he limped noticeably when he turned around.
When he turned his face, Lu Yi and Du Guanglong both gasped in shock.
What's wrong with his eyes...?
Seeing their surprise, Huo Jingxi opened his arms wide, "Big brother, you've gained weight, third brother, you've grown taller and more handsome... and me..."
"A complete transformation, you wouldn't recognize me, would you?"
He spoke casually.
Like long-lost friends, they naturally talked about how they had changed.
Du Guanglong's throat tightened, and he choked up, unable to speak.
Lu Yi's impression of Huo Jingxi was still stuck on that stunning first glance, and for a moment, he couldn't match the image of the man at all.
"The girl is fine. Her coat was just taken off, but there was nothing wrong with her body."
"Third brother, you have good taste! Such a wonderful girl, you should cherish her!"
Actually, that's just a polite remark.
He didn't know if Liang Shiyue was good or not, but he knew that a girl who could make a young man from a wealthy family willing to ruin her rather than get close to her must have something extraordinary about her.
I just got off the plane and heard some rumors about Lu Yi.
That kid, back then, a naive joke made me decide to leave.
Huo Jingxi wouldn't be surprised no matter what remarkable achievements he makes now.
"Second brother, you...you've suffered!"
Lu Yi glanced at Liang Shiyue on the bed through the open doorway.
She buried her face in Huo Jingxi's arms, "My uncle is gone..."
The three men became sworn brothers because of a kind act by Lu Gengsheng.
Time has passed, and the three men, whose fates had diverged so drastically, have reunited. However, Lu Gengsheng has turned to dust and lies buried in the very place where the three swore brotherhood.
“I know, I knew it a long time ago, that’s why I rushed back.”
Du Guanglong hugged the two of them. "It's good that you're back. Now that you're back, don't leave again. With me here, I won't let that kind of thing happen again!"
Huang Xiaoqiang was left standing to the side, and he crawled a few steps on his knees, feeling helpless, but he didn't dare to get too close to Lu Yi.
Seeing the three men addressing each other as brothers, he suddenly felt somewhat fortunate.
If Huo Jingxi had arrived any later, it would have been too late to say anything now. His arrival was just in time!
"Judging from his words, the Lu family is now wary of you?"
Huo Jingxi didn't show much emotion. He patted Lu Yi's arm and looked at the dazed Huang Xiaoqiang.
Du Guanglong chuckled when he heard the awkwardness in the question.
"Second brother, you just got back, so you probably don't know about the third brother's situation yet."
"Back then, we all thought he was a poor boy living in the cemetery, but in fact, he was the real eldest son of the Lu family. What a pity..."
This news greatly surprised Huo Jingxi.
"You're the young master of the Lu family, so what about the other one..."
Huang Xiaoqiang finally found a chance to interject, "Lu Han is a fake young master. He was worried that if Young Master Yi returned to the Lu family, his own position would be in jeopardy, so he made me do this."
Huo Jingxi frowned, glanced at Du Guanglong, and after receiving an affirmative answer, slowly looked at Lu Yi, "You..."
Lu Yi's heart has always been with Liang Shiyue. Regardless of whether she has suffered any real harm, this incident has truly happened to her.
Perhaps Liang's mother's concerns are valid.
Before she has the ability to protect herself, Liang Shiyue will only become a target for those people.
Lu Han's scheme was so naive, and she only escaped disaster because Huo Jingxi stepped in.
If it were Lu Baofei and her group, or Lu Zhengming and his wife, would he still be able to protect her?
"The Lu family has never publicly acknowledged my identity, and I have never considered myself a young master of the Lu family. Second brother, just take this as a joke!"
After Lu Yi finished speaking, he nodded to him, walked straight into the room, and closed the door.
Liang Shiyue had already woken up.
She opened her eyes when Huo Jingxi questioned Huang Xiaoqiang, but she was too weak to move much.
Seeing Lu Yi appear by the bedside, Liang Shiyue's tears slid down her cheeks.
"Did I...did I cause you any trouble?"
Lu Yi felt a lump in his throat, turned his face away, and bent down to hug her tightly.
While wiping away her tears, he said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, it was my oversight."
"Xiaoyue, if you get hurt, I will never be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life..."
Liang Shiyue's heart skipped a beat. She hugged Lu Yi's head and gently stroked it, saying, "I should have listened to you and stayed away from Lin Xiaoya."
"I never imagined she would resort to such unscrupulous means to harm me in order to get you."
Just then, Lu Yi's phone rang.
As soon as he answered the call, Old Wang's angry voice came from the other end.
"Young Master Yi, there's something wrong with President Lin. Both Young Master Gu and I suspect he's protecting that illegitimate daughter!"
