Gu Yan was worried about Gu Keke's treatment plan, so while Fan Huijun was away, he specially invited a doctor friend to his home to ask for his advice.
Hearing from the servants that the Lu family had come to visit, Gu Yan asked in confusion, "What are the Lu family doing here?"
At this time, the Lu family was someone that everyone in Jiangzhou wanted to avoid at all costs.
Even the Lin family, which is on the same page as the Lu family, no longer tries to establish a high-profile relationship with the Lu family as before.
Madam Lin is shrewd and always thinking about the future of the Lin family.
Some time ago, she even sent a lobbyist to the Gu family to talk about their past relationship, implying that she wanted her precious daughter, Lin Mengmeng, to become Lu Yi's second wife.
Gu Yan kicked him out.
Later, she threw a family banquet and even had the audacity to send invitations to Gu Keke...
Oh!
People who lack boundaries are annoying!
"They can't really be considered members of the Lu family, but rather the Lu family's nanny and butler. They just said they wanted to say a few words to Young Master Yi!"
The butler leaned close to his ear and whispered an explanation.
Gu Yan's brow relaxed. "What spineless cowards! Now that the Lu family is about to fall, they've finally remembered their young master, Yi'er?"
The butler chuckled awkwardly, awaiting his instructions, "Then what about them..."
It would be inappropriate to invite important guests into the house.
But if we ignore them, it won't be right from a proper etiquette if Lu Yi asks about it later.
Coco still needs Lu Yi. They are family-oriented, so they can't be too ruthless.
"Alright, let's take them to the backyard... Where are the Others?"
Gu Huainan came out of Gu Keke's room and had just reached the top of the stairs when he heard the two of them talking quietly, so he stopped in his tracks.
Upon hearing this, he hurried downstairs.
"Dad, don't let them in. Lu Yi isn't here. What's the point of letting them in? I'm going to talk to them!"
Gu Yan looked him up and down, then pouted and waved her hand.
"Alright, alright, go ahead. The Lu family doesn't even respect you. Look at how eagerly you're trying to curry favor with them..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yan strode towards the main hall.
The butler, still worried, gave Gu Huainan some instructions.
"Second Young Master, the Lu family is in turmoil right now. It would be best to stay away from them."
Gu Huainan isn't blind.
Of course I know the principle of self-preservation.
But when he thought of Lu Baoyun's difficult situation, he couldn't bring himself to stand idly by.
Even if the two are not destined to be husband and wife, they can still be friends.
Does this mean he should turn a blind eye to the marginalized members of the Lu family as well?
Gu Huainan walked to the door and suddenly turned around.
“Strictly speaking, Lu Yi is also a member of the Lu family. Our family has always held him in high esteem… I’m just going through the motions on Lu Yi’s behalf, what’s wrong with that!”
The butler was speechless, then thought to himself that it made sense.
Gu Yan has always been cautious and meticulous, never allowing the Gu family or its members to cross the line, but has he gone too far this time?
Gu Huainan glared at him irritably, "Go over there, I can get out by myself!"
...
Aunt Wu and Butler Xu didn't have any particular impression of Gu Huainan.
Because of Lu Yi and Gu Keke's affair, Madam Lu often spoke ill of the Gu family at home.
But seeing his smiling eyes, the two still awkwardly let him sit in the car.
"Young Master Gu, we shouldn't have come to disturb you, but Miss Lu is suffering so much, we couldn't bear to see her like this."
Aunt Wu wiped her eyes.
Butler Xu shook his head and sighed.
Gu Huainan knew about Qin Fengying's hospitalization, but because of his relationship with Lu Yi, he did not take the initiative to visit her.
He glanced at the car's interior; every part was Lu Baoyun's touch. He raised his hand and stroked the doll on the car door.
"How's Baoyun doing lately? I heard she's hired several professional managers to run the stores, so she shouldn't be too busy, right?"
Butler Xu chimed in, "You can extricate yourself from the business, but you can't leave Madam Lu's side."
"The second young lady has to manage the company, so the madam can only rely on the fourth young lady. Alas, the madam has contracted that tormenting illness, and the fourth young lady has been suffering these past few days..."
The Lu family had changed so much overnight that even Butler Xu didn't know how to describe his feelings.
Although the two of them were doing odd jobs.
I still can't help but sigh.
If it weren't for Madam Lu treating them fairly well, they would have wanted to leave as well, to avoid living such a restless life.
When Aunt Wu saw Gu Huainan frowning, she stopped what she was doing.
He quickly replied, "After returning from the Lin family, Miss Si has been locking herself in her room and hasn't eaten anything. We only came here secretly while she was at the hospital."
"Young Master Gu, you are kind-hearted and good to Miss Si. Could you please persuade Young Master Yi to visit Miss Si when you have time and comfort her?"
She was afraid that Lu Baoyun might do something rash.
What if one day I quietly take my own life?
So, what should the lady do then?
When Fan Huijun drove to the Gu family's door, Butler Xu and Aunt Wu had already left.
Gu Huainan paced back and forth on the pebble path beside the garden, his hands in his pockets.
Hearing the door open, I quickly went to greet them.
"Sister-in-law, haven't you eaten yet? We have guests at home, and we might not feel comfortable eating. Why don't we find somewhere to eat together?"
Lu Yi had no appetite.
He unbuckled his seatbelt, pushed open the wrought iron gate, and walked inside.
Gu Huainan tilted his head and pointed to his own nose, "Sister-in-law, did he see me?"
After hearing what Lu Yi said on the way, Fan Huijun's mood wasn't much better.
"He's in a bad mood, and he was still worried about Coco's illness on the way... What would you like to eat? I'll make the reservation."
Considering Gu Huainan's relationship with Lu Yi, Fan Huijun's attitude towards Gu Huainan was similar to her attitude towards Lu Yi.
We naturally treated him as a younger brother.
“It’s normal for him to be in a bad mood, and I’m in a bad mood too, but we still have to eat. Sister-in-law, you decide what to do. I’ll go in and check on him.”
After saying that offhand, Gu Huainan slammed the car door shut.
Something occurred to Fan Huijun, and she rolled down the car window to ask, "Where are the Lu family members?"
Gu Huainan didn't even turn his head. "I sent them away. Don't worry, they won't come back!"
Fan Huijun loosened her hand from the safety buckle and left it in the car.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Lu Baoyun.
Lu Baoyun called back very quickly.
"Sister Junjun, I'm sorry, I just found out what Mom did to Lu Yi. How is his wound?"
Hearing her hoarse voice made Fan Huijun feel a little better.
"If you want to apologize, wouldn't it be better to do it in person? I've booked a place, I'll send you the address, you can come over in a bit!"
She didn't want to make this connection, but Lu Yi also needed to vent his emotions.
This was advice given by Fan Shenglun.
Lu Baoyun remained silent for a long time before finally giving a reluctant reply.
"Okay, thank you, Sister Junjun."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Baoyun glanced back at her mother, who was drinking soup in the ward, and her expression was momentarily dazed.
Some things are better faced sooner rather than later!
Regardless of whether the evidence is useful or not, it's better for her to hand it over to Lu Yi than to destroy it.
Perhaps this is precisely why Lin Xiaoya went to great lengths to meet her!
