Gu Keke had never thought that far ahead. When she heard her say the words "fire pit," the smile on her face vanished instantly.
Gu Huainan, who had rushed over, heard these words through the car window and couldn't help but feel worried for Lu Yi.
It turns out that this is why their father strictly disciplined the three siblings and instructed them not to air their dirty laundry in public, thus always maintaining a strict family tradition.
Looking back now, the reason why the head of the Fan family kept protecting his daughter was probably to test whether the Gu family was true to their word.
The Lu family has really ruined Lu Yi this time.
Who would have thought that when ordinary families marry off their daughters, they don't value wealth or status, but instead prioritize family traditions!
"Cough cough!"
Gu Huainan looked at his sister, who was staring blankly, and reached out to pinch her soft cheek.
"Why aren't you going up? What are you waiting here for... Auntie, hello, hello, I heard that Xiaoyue has been found. Now you can rest assured!"
Upon hearing this, Liang's mother felt awkward for a moment.
Seeing that he was covered in sweat and seemed to have just arrived, and probably hadn't heard what she had just said to Gu Keke, Liang's mother nodded to him.
"I'm relieved. It's all thanks to you all! I'm so glad that Xiaoyue has friends like you."
Gu Huainan withdrew his hand from Gu Keke's face and said casually, "She's Lu Yi's girlfriend, so naturally we'd be worried if something happened to her!"
He is not good at winning people's hearts.
I racked my brains to come up with such a subtle way of saying it.
I just hope that Liang's mother can change her attitude towards Lu Yi.
After hearing what he said, Liang's mother's face suddenly darkened, and she opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
...
The Huo family.
The lights were on full display.
Huo Jingxi's unexpected appearance caused an uproar throughout the Huo family.
From the moment he heard the news, Huo Xiao locked himself in his study.
It wasn't until Du Guanglong returned that Dongzi said tremblingly, "Brother Long, why are you only coming back now? Something happened at home. I heard that some rebellious son came back to life..."
Snap!
Du Guanglong slapped him on the head, "Watch your words, what kind of unfilial son are you!"
Dongzi held his head and rubbed it.
"It's true. I heard he was a prominent figure back then... The old man was so angry that he didn't eat dinner and even beat up all the people who brought him food."
Seeing Lu Yi following behind him, Dongzi grinned.
"Third Brother, you're here! Have you found the person? I was so touched when Grandpa called to call for help!"
Upon hearing this, Du Guanglong instinctively looked back.
Good heavens!
I knew it! Lu Yi has become like a fortune teller.
Moreover, the second brother happened to find the place and rescued the person in time.
It turns out that all of this was a setup by Old Master Huo!
"Dongzi, you've worked hard! How is President Huo?"
The secretary saw Dongzi get beaten up and hid in a corner of the corridor, too scared to come out.
Seeing Lu Yi ask about it, he hurriedly ran over.
“Young Master Yi, President Huo hasn’t eaten anything since he came back, not even his medicine. Just now, the housekeeper brought him food, but he threw it all out.”
"We don't know what's wrong with Mr. Huo either. Would you mind going in and taking a look?"
He certainly knew why Huo Xiao was so furious.
However, within the Huo family, none of them dared to casually discuss the family affairs of their master.
Even if the rumors about Huo Jingxi are rampant outside, they still have to make sure that not a single word comes out of their mouths.
Lu Yi glanced at Du Guanglong, "He's outside."
Du Guanglong's eyes widened in surprise. "You're back just like that?"
Dongzi craned his neck and peered curiously toward the doorway.
The servants blinked, all eager to see who this legendary Young Master Huo was!
"You go ahead, I'll keep watch at the door and make sure he doesn't do anything reckless."
Du Guanglong turned his head towards Dongzi, glaring fiercely at his servants, "Go do what you're supposed to do, what are you doing standing around here!"
The secretary led the way, bypassing the remaining debris on the ground that hadn't been cleaned up yet.
"Watch your step. The servants were afraid of making noise and upsetting Mr. Huo, so they left after cleaning only halfway..."
Lu Yi stopped in front of the door.
"Have someone bring me the food and medicine, and give them to me!"
He couldn't guarantee that Huo Xiao would give him face.
But Liang Shiyue was found so quickly thanks to Huo Xiao.
I'm here to express my gratitude.
Huo Xiao had no reason to speak ill of him.
Of course, even if he were to be scolded a few times, Lu Yi didn't think it was a big deal.
In the entire city of Fengcheng, it seems that apart from him and Du Guanglong, no one knows the truth about why Huo Jingxi was forced to leave back then.
The secretary seemed to have grasped at a straw and nodded repeatedly.
He ran out quickly, grabbed the peeking butler, and gave him a few instructions.
A moment later, the butler came over carrying a tray.
“Young Master Yi, this bowl is a low-sodium vegetarian soup, and this box contains the master’s daily medication. He doesn’t eat carbohydrates at this time of day…”
The butler, his face full of worry, explained everything in great detail.
"Alright! You all go ahead and get busy. If I get kicked out, you'll definitely hear the noise!"
Lu Yi took it and said something both reasonable and witty.
The butler and secretary exchanged glances, both wearing awkward smiles, and dared not do anything else.
Lu Yi smiled helplessly.
He then pushed the door open and entered.
A sharp shout rang out from the large room, "Get out!"
"Mr. Huo, if I go out like this, there are some things you may never find the answers to!"
Lu Yi didn't stop walking. He closed the door and went straight to his desk.
Huo Xiao suddenly looked up, his face filled with surprise, completely stunned.
He knew that Lu Yi's girlfriend had been successfully rescued, but he didn't expect that Lu Yi would leave his frightened girlfriend behind and come to see him.
Huo Xiao took off his glasses, pushed the wheelchair with both hands, and asked with concern.
"Is he alright?"
Lu Yi picked up the soup bowl and nodded.
"She's alright and has already gone back to the hotel to rest. Thanks to Mr. Huo's help, I'll bring her here to thank you another day!"
Huo Xiao waved his hand, "It was nothing, don't worry about it. Nothing is more important than people. I've only come to understand this in the last few years!"
"By the way, you said you knew a secret I wanted to know, tell me!"
Hearing his hoarse voice and tired face, Lu Yi suddenly remembered Lu Gengsheng's haggard appearance in his last few days. His nose tingled and his eyes began to redden.
“Mr. Huo, you know this principle, so you shouldn’t refuse to eat… Drink the soup first, then take the medicine, and I will tell you everything about my second brother.”
Huo Xiao hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the corner of the table.
His deep eyes narrowed. "Second Brother?"
Lu Yi handed the spoon to him, her expression calm and composed.
"Yes, Du Guanglong, Huo Jingxi, and I are sworn brothers. Huo Jingxi is the second oldest."
“My cousin Lu Gengsheng was a witness, but unfortunately he can’t tell you what happened back then in person.”
Huo Xiao stared at him intently, as if he had seen something unbelievable, and after a long while, he finally put the spoon into the bowl...
