In the most stable relationships between people, interests are undoubtedly the strongest bond.
As for blood relations, that's just something to confuse those who haven't figured out life.
Moreover, most of the time, the closer the blood ties between people, the more intense the competition for resources.
Gu Huainan was originally confused.
He believed that he, his older brother, and Coco would always be a family.
It didn't matter who managed the family business, but as he turned to leave, his elder brother's words flashed through his mind like a white light.
I instantly regained my senses.
"Dad, if you're planning to give up on Coco, then you should divide up the family business as soon as possible, to avoid trouble later..."
Once Coco passes away, the Gu family will have to fulfill their promise to Lu Yi.
At that time, Coco's share of the property will belong to Lu Yi.
When did you start caring about this, brother?
Gu Huainan lay on Butler Hua's bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The screen next to my pillow suddenly lit up, displaying a message from Lu Baoyun.
[Huainan, are you home yet? Thank you for today. I was so upset and didn't get a chance to talk to you, please don't worry about it.]
This was the first time Lu Baoyun had stayed overnight at someone else's house.
And this home is none other than Lu Yi's new home.
When she heard Lu Yi return, she had just finished showering and changed into her pajamas. She was about to go downstairs to explain things to Lu Yi when Fan Huijun pulled her back.
"It's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Fan Huijun clearly felt sorry for Lu Yi.
Troubles came from all directions, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
Lu Baoyun had no choice but to agree, "Sister Junjun, you'd better be there tomorrow too. Don't you also want to know what Lin Xiaoya said to me that day?"
Fan Huijun paused for a moment, then patted her hand to reassure her.
"Alright, after breakfast, Father will talk to Yi'er in the study. We'll talk to him when he comes out."
Lu Baoyun listened intently, becoming more and more engrossed in the conversation.
I picked up my phone but didn't know who to talk to.
The third sister's reply was still from her mother's birthday; after that, she never responded to any of her messages.
The older sister changed her phone number again and again.
Lu Baoyun had no idea what her eldest sister had gone through.
Her eyes reddened, and she typed a message, sending it to all those numbers: "Big sister, when are you coming back?"
After posting, she could no longer hold back and buried her head in the pillow, sobbing.
After calming down a bit, she thought of Gu Huainan.
He seemed preoccupied today, and I felt really bad about just leaving him there.
After sending the message, she stared at the screen for a while, pondering how to bring it up with Lu Yi tomorrow.
Lu Han disguised himself so well, repeatedly hurting Lu Yi and those around him.
What has she, as the older sister, done for Lu Yi besides getting his forgiveness?
He didn't even say a single word of reprimand to Lu Han.
Thinking about all this, she angrily pounded her head.
It's no wonder Lu Yi doesn't forgive them; they did nothing wrong, just talked, and then they felt justified in waiting for Lu Yi to change his mind.
The phone beeped, and Lu Baoyun immediately snapped back to reality.
Gu Huainan replied to the message: "It's okay, you should go to sleep early."
Standing in the corner of this small courtyard, you can vaguely see the windows of the main building.
The other rooms were pitch black, except for one room where a faint light shone through the curtains that weren't fully drawn. It was obvious that Lu Baoyun was still awake.
I can't sleep.
Lu Baoyun answered honestly.
She not only couldn't sleep, but also wanted to go out for a walk.
However, since she was staying at someone else's house, she couldn't be too casual. So she got up, swung her arms, and paced back and forth in the room.
Sleep when you should, leave everything else for tomorrow!
Gu Huainan was well aware of the feeling of not being able to fall asleep.
If Lu Yi finds out that the Gu family is delaying Coco's surgery because they all have ulterior motives, he will be very disappointed!
[Huainan, if I have secrets about someone, is it better to tell them, or to keep the secret to myself?]
Lu Baoyun mustered her courage, edited the message several times, and then closed her eyes and pressed the send button.
Let's take a gamble!
Gu Huainan was at least a cobbler.
Listening to his opinion will always give me some confidence.
Gu Huainan stared at the words on the screen, unable to recover for a long time.
He suddenly looked up and saw a shadow reflected on the curtains. He gripped his phone tightly and tiptoed back to his room.
Have I been seen through?
Did she overhear something while visiting the Gu family?
Lu Baoyun cares so much about Lu Yi; once she finds out that the Gu family is like this, she probably won't talk to her anymore.
Yes, should he tell Lu Yi about his father's concerns, or pretend he knows nothing?
Putting all other relationships aside, he is Lu Yi's good brother.
Shouldn't good brothers be honest with each other?
After thinking it over, he quickly unlocked his phone and his fingers busied themselves on the screen.
Lu Baoyun assumed Gu Huainan was asleep or unable to reply to her messages, so she lay on the bed, muttering to herself listlessly.
Hearing her phone notification, she sat bolt upright.
"Should we just tell him?"
"That's a huge secret. What should I do if Lu Yi turns hostile on the spot?"
Lu Baoyun, clutching her phone, drifted off to sleep.
The rising sun, like an egg about to take shape, spreads the light of hope and vitality throughout the world.
When Lu Baoyun finished washing up and came downstairs with dark circles under her eyes, she stared wide-eyed at Gu Huainan, who was yawning as he walked into the restaurant.
"You, how did you get here?"
Before Gu Huainan could answer, Lu Yi leisurely entered the room in the morning light.
He was covered in sweat; it looked like he had gone for his morning exercise.
Her arms, seemingly slender but actually strong, gleamed in the light.
Lu Baoyun blinked, "Yi'er, I...I last night..."
Lu Yi glanced at her and touched Gu Huainan's arm. "Come on, let's have breakfast. Didn't you have something to say to me? Let's talk while we eat."
When Fan Shenglun saw so many young people in his home, his bewildered eyes cleared up like fog, and he became bright and alert.
"Jingxi, Huainan, and... the fourth son of the Lu family... Good, seeing you all makes me feel young again!"
Fan Huijun brought out a plate of sandwiches and placed it on the long table that was full of food.
"Dad, didn't you always complain that the house wasn't lively enough? Now it's lively enough, isn't it?"
"You guys eat first. There's still plain noodles in the kitchen, Yi'er loves them... Bao Yun, would you like a bowl too?"
Lu Baoyun was already reserved, and upon hearing this, she nodded hurriedly and followed.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Fan Huijun skillfully picked up the boiling noodles, laughing softly.
Lu Baoyun was at a loss. "Sister Junjun, did I disturb you?"
Fan Huijun shook her head.
"No, I slept very well. I just noticed someone staring at your room... Ha, I thought a thief had broken in. Turns out it was Gu Er."
Lu Baoyun choked.
If she had known Gu Huainan would stay overnight, she wouldn't have joined in the fun.
