Photos of Lu Yi's coming-of-age ceremony were carefully selected by the Fan family and then posted online.
As expected, this caused a huge stir.
Lu Yi, this newly minted "second-generation rich kid," has once again become the focus of netizens' attention.
In the comment section, where envy and mockery were the dominant sentiments, another voice emerged.
That is gratitude.
The residential area where Lu Yi lives is finally going to be demolished!
Many of the elderly people who had lived there for most of their lives have either passed away or moved into nursing homes.
A very small number are forced to live with their children, but because their houses are worthless and they don't have much savings, they mostly have to depend on their children's whims.
As the number of young people in the area decreases, various resources also become scarcer.
Not many newlywed couples are willing to live in such a dilapidated house.
The gift Lu Yi received at his coming-of-age ceremony was undoubtedly a "gift" to these elderly people.
It also loosens the restrictions on some young people who are short of money.
Demolition and relocation mean making a fortune!
It means saying "goodbye" to the past and starting a new life.
"Thank you, Lu Yi!"
"No, we should thank the Huo family."
“I think if Lu Yi hadn’t lived here, the Huo family would never have pushed this project forward.”
"No matter what, we must remember Lu Yi's kindness, and of course, we must not let the Huo family..."
"Those people who smeared Lu Yi online should expose themselves! It's a loss for the Lu family to let go of such a good son!"
"Haha, I heard from a friend that Mrs. Lu made a fool of herself at her coming-of-age ceremony in an attempt to gain sympathy from the crowd, but thankfully everyone was quite clear-headed."
"I've heard about it too. Miss Lu was too ashamed to go in. Our company has a partnership with Lu Baofei's company. We had a two-hour meeting, and she had a gloomy face all day."
"What an odd family! Shouldn't they send a gift for the younger brother's birthday?"
"You might not know this, but Lu Yi broke his arm because he was hit by Miss Lu Si's car. That family is really ruthless!"
"Now that Lu Yi has made it big, he must be kicking himself!"
Seeing the overwhelming ridicule online, Lu Zhengming was so angry that his face turned black, and he smashed the tablet to pieces.
In the huge living room, no one dared to utter a sound.
Only Qin Fengying covered her head and let out a short scream.
"I told you to go and make the Lu family proud, and this is how you did it?"
"Baofei, no matter how important your company's affairs are, are they more important than Yi'er's birthday? This is the first birthday he's celebrated since we found him!"
Lu Baofei did indeed go to discuss business.
This collaboration is crucial to her company's domestic business strategy; she has no choice but to participate.
However, it cannot be denied that she also had the intention of escaping, because it was she who moved the original time forward by one day.
Seeing that she was silent with her head down, Lu Zhengming pressed his hand on the teapot, took a few deep breaths, and forced down his anger.
He turned to look at Lu Baoqi, who was engrossed in playing on her phone.
With a gritted back tooth, he said, "All you do is play around, never doing anything productive!"
Lu Baoqi was arranging her schedule with her agent. She put down her phone, her eyes reddening with grievance.
"Dad, I finally got a decent role, I can't just give it up like this!"
Seeing that she still dared to talk back, Lu Zhengming's anger surged again.
"Role, role, you've been in the industry for so many years and you're still just a nobody. If you're not cut out for it, you should change careers..."
Hearing this, Lu Baoqi felt so sad she wanted to cry.
"What do you mean by not being cut out for it? My classmates come from far worse-off families than me, but their families are helping them behind the scenes."
"But you wouldn't even help me invest in a movie, and now you're blaming me for not having talent!"
“Who in our family has talent? Lu Han? You’ve spent so much time and money on him, when has he ever protected this family?”
"No one invited me yesterday. I sneaked into Yi'er's birthday party on my own. Don't forget, that's our Lu family's child!"
"What is Lu Han? He was adopted. Isn't it all his fault that the Lu family has become like this?"
Lu Baoqi was indignant; she wasn't saying this because she had received any benefits.
It was only after hearing Su Yu talk about his past that he realized how pitiful Lu Yi had been.
Unfortunately, she was still foolish enough to speak up for Lu Han.
Now, Lu Yi has really been taken away!
He will never step into the Lu family's door again!
Lu Zhengming's eyes were deep, and a rare look of regret appeared on his face.
I only wanted to curb Lu Yi's stubbornness, but who would have thought he would turn the tables so quickly.
If I had known this would happen, I should have coaxed him to go back to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors first, and then talked about other things.
It's too late to say anything now.
The Lu family is facing the biggest crisis in its history.
If not handled properly, the Lu family may never be able to hold their heads high again in Jiangzhou.
"Baoqi, you're not allowed to talk about Han'er like that!"
Qin Fengying grabbed Lu Baoqi's arm and slapped her hand hard several times.
"It's Yi'er's fault, why push it onto Han'er? No matter what, I am his biological mother, and you saw it for yourself!"
"Does he even see me as his mother? Birthday presents... Ha, you make it sound so easy. What kind of presents does Yi'er want from our family?"
“Every time I give him something, he either refuses it or returns it untouched. Why should I humiliate myself in that situation!”
She was still furious when she thought about what happened yesterday.
However, she was still very grateful to Fan Shenglun; otherwise, if Lu Zhengming had seen her lose her composure, he probably would have blown the roof off.
Lu Baoyun sat to the side, her eyelids half-closed, like an old monk in deep meditation.
