As they entered the airport, Lu Zhengming reluctantly reminded Lu Han to be careful while she was away.
Lu Han listened attentively. After completing the check-in procedures, he sobbed a few times and hugged Lu Zhengming, tears streaming down his face.
"Dad, I will complete my credits as soon as possible and strive to graduate and go back home in two years. With me here, let's see who dares to bully you and Mom again!"
He spoke with great emotion, as if the Lu family couldn't do without him.
But the reality now is that without Lu Han's introduction, Lu Zhengming truly has no way out.
"Good child, Dad knows that the hardships and grievances you've endured are all for the future of the Lu family. Take good care of yourself!"
Unlike Qin Fengying, Lu Zhengming was not as adept at handling such emotional appeals.
Aside from patting Lu Han's arm a few times, he appeared somewhat reserved in public.
"Dad, there's something else I'd like to ask you to do me a favor after you return to China!"
Lu Han raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears, the same action she took when she was a child. Lu Zhengming's heart softened, and he even lowered his voice.
"You child, don't be so formal with your father!"
With red eyes, Lu Han pulled him aside and stammered, "Dad, you know Lin Xiaoya, right?"
Lu Zhengming nodded, puzzled.
"I asked her to help me find some study materials before, but I haven't been able to contact her lately. Could you..."
"No problem!"
Lu Zhengming agreed before he finished listening.
"Perfect timing. I need to talk to Lin Hongtao about something when I get back. I'll ask him for you then."
At this time, he was unaware that the internal conflict within the Lin family had reached a stalemate.
Lin Hongtao was trying to find out what Lin Xiaoya had done wrong!
After passing through security, Lu Zhengming couldn't help but look back.
The spot where Lu Han was standing was now occupied by several tall, burly men hurrying by.
He picked up his luggage, walked through the security gate, and vaguely saw Lu Han sandwiched among the group. Feeling uneasy, he quickly called Lu Han.
Strangely, Lu Han answered the call very quickly.
There was nothing unusual about the sound.
“Dad, text me when you land. I’m afraid I’ll fall asleep and miss your call, and you and Mom will worry.”
Lu Zhengming stood there stunned. By the time he came to his senses, the phone had already been hung up.
The airport announcement for boarding began, and he looked at the bustling crowd as he walked toward the boarding gate.
...
"Young Master Lu, you have finally proven your identity!"
"Congratulations! You've passed Master Hong's final test. Get in the car. Master Hong is treating you today to calm your nerves!"
After saying this with a mocking expression, Hong Ye's man shoved Lu Han.
Lu Han gritted her teeth, her cold, sharp eyes sweeping across their faces, memorizing their features.
"What, you want to get revenge on us now?"
"Young Master Lu, don't be in such a hurry. We brothers have been working under Master Hong for three years before we got to where we are today!"
"Once you've eaten this meal with Master Hong, you're one of his men, Young Master Lu. Don't forget us when you rise to prominence!"
They laughed and joked nonchalantly, completely disregarding Lu Han.
Even though Lu Zhengming's appearance made Master Hong completely trust him, it doesn't mean anything.
Unless Lu Han's background can bring Hong Ye a continuous stream of benefits.
In this line of work, everyone only cares about "making money." Whoever has the most connections and works for Master Hong can rise to the top in one step!
Otherwise, they will be replaced sooner or later.
You guys don't know yet, do you?
Once the car door closed, Lu Han could no longer bear it.
“My Lu Group may be insignificant, but with Master Hong’s investment, the Lu Group is no longer the simple Lu Group of Jiangzhou.”
"What I am to Master Hong is not important. What matters is that you are nothing to me!"
Those rough, unruly men all relied on their fists to gain face in front of Master Hong.
Upon hearing this, they looked at each other and fell silent.
With Master Hong now a shareholder in the Lu Group, Lu Han, this seemingly insignificant nobody, is no longer to be underestimated.
"Young Master Lu, don't be angry. We were just joking with you."
"Come on, please invite Young Master Lu to the passenger seat. Hey you, are you blind or deaf? Don't you know that our Young Master Lu likes to sit in the passenger seat?"
...
Ruan Jiaojiao woke up and immediately started clamoring to see Lu Yi.
Huo Jingxi's eyes were filled with jealousy.
"Why would I see him? He's at school!"
"However, there is someone who can replace him. Would you like to meet him?"
The Fan family had other plans for Lu Yi, so Huo Jingxi naturally couldn't treat Ruan Jiaojiao as an object and shamelessly try to force her into his life.
Su Yu walked over carrying pastries. Upon hearing the word "substitute," a slight smile appeared on his lips, revealing a small sense of happiness.
"Young Master Huo, I've learned a few tricks from Brother Du. They should be fine to keep Miss Jiao Jiao company."
He watched as Lu Yi, without expending a single penny or a single sword or spear, extricated himself from the quagmire of the Lu family and effortlessly gained the support of three powerful families.
It would be a lie to say I'm not envious.
With the rise of the Huo family in Fengcheng, the Su family has become a force that all other families fear and cannot hope to rival.
Su Yu did not want to be buried with the Su family.
Regardless, he had to seize this opportunity, learn from Lu Yi, and see if he could turn the tide.
He did this not for anyone else, but for himself.
"Who are you?"
Ruan Jiaojiao raised her sallow face slightly, and for a moment she seemed to see Lu Yi.
Whether it's height, hairstyle, or temperament, Su Yu bears a resemblance to Lu Yi.
"Jiaojiao, you should have met him before, Su Yu, who once represented the Su family at Lu Yi's coming-of-age ceremony!"
Ruan Jiaojiao rubbed her hands together inside the blanket, showing no sign of joy.
