Lu Baoqi didn't understand why her mother and Lin Xiaoya were making such a fuss.
Lin Xiaoya's repeated antics are understandable.
But his mother came to celebrate Lu Yi's birthday, so why did she make his coming-of-age ceremony so embarrassing?
Although those people spoke up for Qin Fengying, how many of them genuinely praised her and the Lu family?
Everyone felt fortunate for Lu Yi.
Fortunately, he had a discerning eye and saw through the Lu family's depravity early on, thus escaping from that unfathomable quagmire.
Seeing her downcast expression, leaning against the big oak tree, Su Yu sat down next to Lu Baoqi and sighed.
"Don't blame Madam Lu, I can understand why she went crazy."
“When my mother was still alive, my father often took me out to play, and the woman who accompanied us on these trips was a young and beautiful aunt.”
"Back then I was naive and just thought that aunt was gentle and lovely, especially since she liked to buy me sweets that my mother wouldn't let me eat."
"Later, my mother fell ill, and she moved into my house openly. At that time, I felt it was wonderful to have her around, until my mother passed away not long after, and she brought back a son who was about my age..."
Lu Baoqi's attention was drawn, and she looked up at him with teary eyes, "You have a younger brother?"
Su Yu picked up a dry branch at his feet, snapped it into small pieces, and casually tossed it far away.
"More than one... Heh, now the Su family belongs to her. My dad listens to everything she says. I often think, if my mom were still here, would she go crazy seeing things like this!"
His voice was flat, as if he were talking about someone else's business.
Lu Baoqi sniffed and lowered her eyelids. "I'm sorry, I reminded you of something unpleasant."
Su Yu planted the last section of the plant in the ground, picked up clumps of soil, shook his head, and laughed self-deprecatingly a few times.
“My mom has never gone crazy or made a scene... I’ve imagined that scenario more than once: her fighting with my aunt, whose side would I take?”
"Miss Lu, you probably wouldn't guess this, would you?"
He raised his chin and gazed sadly at the azure night sky.
"I might actually help my aunt instead of my mom, because my mom's health has always been poor, she can't sit in a car for too long, she can't..."
Su Yu couldn't continue speaking.
Even at a young age, he knew how to choose what he wanted.
And Lu Yi...
He's an adult now, and it's his right to choose whoever he wants.
Moreover, in Su Yu's opinion, the Fan family was being far too good to Lu Yi. He figured that tonight, very few people in the entire Jiangzhou circle would be able to sleep.
Perhaps some families will secretly "clean house" again.
Lu Baoqi stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "Thank you, Su Yu. I've got your number. I'll contact you when I have the chance."
The outdoor screen lost power, and the surrounding area suddenly fell into darkness.
She walked around to the front of the tree.
Lin Xiaoya had already left sometime earlier, and it was unknown whether she went to the banquet hall or left.
Qin Fengying lay on the grass, talking incoherently. Several servants pulled her up, but she mumbled something, shook off their hands, and continued to lie there.
Lu Baoqi's eyes welled up with tears.
Mom must feel very wronged and regretful, right?
Her son is so outstanding, why couldn't she have loved him properly sooner?
She walked over step by step and waved to the servants who looked worried.
"You all go ahead with your work. By the way, tell Miss Fan that I brought my mother home, and to let her..."
Lu Baoqi's throat tightened, but she changed the subject and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
The servants looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard her call out to Qin Fengying's mother. They watched as she helped Qin Fengying up from the ground and walked towards the parking lot.
"Mom, why are you doing this?"
Qin Fengying reeked of alcohol, and Lu Baoqi's petite shoulders couldn't support her weight at all.
The two finally reached the parking lot. Lu Baoqi was panting heavily. As soon as she loosened her grip, Qin Fengying tilted and looked like she was about to fall.
"careful!"
Su Yu, feeling uneasy, followed along and deftly took Qin Fengying's other arm.
"Where did you park your car? Should I carry Auntie over there?"
Lu Baoqi looked around, her mind a complete mess.
She arrived early and parked her car at the very back. Now the parking lot is full of cars, and she doesn't know where her car is.
Su Yu bent down and carried Qin Fengying on his back. "Come on, you find a car, I'll follow behind you!"
They finally found it in a corner. Lu Baoqi opened the car door and helped Qin Fengying put her in the back seat.
"Thank you, Su Yu. I really don't know what I would have done without you!"
Lu Baoqi took out two tissues and handed them to him.
Then he drew a few more bills and used them to wipe the dirt off Qin Fengying's face.
"No need to thank me, just remember to introduce me to Lu Yi another day!"
Su Yu knew he might not get to eat Lu Yi's birthday cake tonight, but getting to know a big star wouldn't be a complete waste.
He shrugged with relief, took off his coat, covered Qin Fengying's curled-up legs, and gently closed the car door.
"Drive carefully, Auntie has been drinking and can't handle a bumpy ride..."
"Wow, who would have thought that such a warm-hearted man could be raised in a garbage dump like the Su family!"
Before Su Yu could finish speaking, two figures emerged from the darkness.
Du Guanglong spat out the wiggling blade of grass from his mouth, hooked his arm around Huo Jingxi's shoulder, and said, "This young man has a good presence!"
Huo Jingxi didn't have a deep impression of Su Yu.
Because the Su family of Fengcheng has so many branches that it's terrifying.
Moreover, they were not a unified force; the leading branch of the Su family suffered losses at the hands of their own clansmen.
