After hanging up the phone, Lu Yi felt very uneasy.
After a moment's thought, I sent Fan Huijun a voice message, "Sis, wanna have dinner together tonight?"
Fan Huijun returned quickly.
"I'm afraid I won't have time tonight. My husband and I are having a candlelight dinner. Of course, it's not impossible for you to come and be a third wheel."
Hearing the horns of other vehicles, Lu Yi knew that she was not home either.
He frowned and edited a few words.
"Then I won't bother you any longer. I'll take my eldest and second eldest brothers home for a meal!"
Fan Huijun was a step too slow in replying this time.
"Let's not go to that trouble. I'll have your brother-in-law book a private room, and we can go together."
Lu Yi replied simply, "No rush, let's talk about it later!"
It seems that Fan Shenglun has sent his family out.
He doesn't sound sick. Could it be that we have some special guest at home?
Thinking of this, Lu Yi suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Lu Yi, come in already! What are you dawdling about? Are you on the phone with your girlfriend?"
Wen Jialiang appeared at the door and joked.
Lu Yi shook his head in denial, "No. It's President Fan..."
Upon hearing this, Wen Jialiang's eyes flashed. "Oh, it seems that he is quite concerned about this case as well!"
Lu Yi glanced at him in surprise, remaining noncommittal.
This question sounds like a complaint.
It would be abnormal not to care if your own son died a violent death!
"Come, come in and sit down. I've always been curious about how you got involved with the Fan family. What a wonderful coincidence!"
Wen Jialiang asked casually, as if it were nothing.
“Mr. Wen, my third brother doesn’t have a specific purpose in his actions. He usually just goes with his gut feeling, right, third brother?”
Huo Jingxi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he interjected.
She secretly observed Lu Yi's expression.
But in his heart he was thinking that this kid never made choices without a purpose. If Du Guanglong hadn't held him down by the neck, they wouldn't have been able to become sworn brothers.
Lu Yi said calmly, "There's no reason. If you want to admit it, then admit it!"
Wen Jialiang noticed that Lu Yi's psychological defenses were higher than Huo Jingxi's, so he stopped asking irrelevant questions.
...
Qin Fengying stood outside the door and received a phone call from her husband.
"Aunt Wu said you rushed out. Where did you go again?"
Seeing the online public opinion escalating wildly and threatening to pin the blame on the Lu family, Lu Zhengming hurriedly called the public relations department to discuss countermeasures.
The answer we received was to remain inactive!
After much deliberation, he still felt he should do something.
So he called home. When Wu Ma heard that he was looking for his wife, she hesitated for a long time before finally saying that Qin Fengying had gone out.
Without saying a word, Lu Zhengming hung up the phone.
Wu Ma thought she had said something wrong, and after pondering for a while, she remembered to inform the madam. However, when she called, she was met with a busy signal.
As soon as Butler Xu entered the room, he saw her standing in the living room in a daze, holding a mop, so he asked her a few more questions.
Wu Ma asked abruptly, "Old Xu, will Young Master Yi return to the Lu family?"
Steward Xu had a very close relationship with the Huo family.
I've also heard a bit about Lu Yi's current abilities and connections.
He shook his head and sighed, "The master and madam do hope he will come back, but Young Master Yi now has his own circle of friends. Why should he come back?"
"Hey Wu Ma, stop worrying about the master so much. Look at the mess you've made of the garden. Be careful, or Madam will nag you when she gets back!"
Wu Ma glanced outside, frowned, and exclaimed in surprise, "Madam is really... how could she have taken out her most beloved embroidered ball and then forgotten to go back!"
She hurriedly finished mopping the floor and put the mop back in the tool room.
He muttered something as he went to tidy up.
...
Upon seeing Qin Fengying, whose leather shoes were covered in mud but who seemed oblivious to it, Fan Shenglun's tense expression suddenly relaxed.
"Mrs. Lu, we meet again!"
"The children are all busy. If you want to see them, you'll probably have to wait until tomorrow... or the day after."
The housekeeper brought up tea and snacks.
She said politely, "Madam Lu, this is Young Master Yi's favorite tea and snacks. Please enjoy!"
Qin Fengying looked bewildered.
He reached out and picked up the teacup, lifted the lid, smelled it, and took a small sip.
"So, Yi'er likes white tea. I'm such a bad mother. I thought she liked sugary drinks!"
Her eyes were downcast, filled with guilt and remorse.
Fan Shenglun pulled a red metal can out from under the coffee table.
"This tea suits his temperament quite well."
"At first glance, it doesn't seem like anything special, but after getting to know him, you'll find that he values life more than his peers."
Cherishing life?
This was the first time Qin Fengying had heard this word used to "praise someone".
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she stared at Fan Shenglun's face, unsure how to respond.
"What? Do you find it strange?"
"Logically speaking, a twenty-year-old boy should be fearless, and the more dangerous the situation, the more excited he should be; he loves a good show. But he..."
Fan Shenglun sighed softly, picked up a tea ball from the tea canister, and examined it carefully.
"These tea balls can be steeped, boiled, or simmered. No matter how you use them, they will always give you a different taste."
"Yi'er and this tea... Haven't you noticed that no matter what terrible situation he faces, he can always show a different kind of wisdom?"
"I often wonder if Lu Yi was subjected to inhuman abuse when he was in the Lu family, which is why he puts survival first."
Qin Fengying's open mouth looked like it was being hooked by a fishhook, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"President Fan, how could this be... Yi'er has been wandering outside for so many years, we feel sorry for him!"
