Fan Shenglun paced back and forth by the car with his hands behind his back, clearly impatient.
Seeing Lu Yi approach, he only glanced at him a few times without stopping. It wasn't until Lu Yi was only a step away from him that he squinted and smiled.
"Yi'er, you're finally back! Get in the car, I'll take you home!"
If we disregard that matter, Lu Yi would certainly be very happy.
But the thought of Gong Che getting involved made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
It was truly a family dinner; it was just the father and son.
Fan Shenglun kept putting food on Lu Yi's plate, muttering that he had lost weight again.
Lu Yi really wanted to ask the question that was on his mind, but seeing his kind face, he tried several times but couldn't get the words out.
In the dead of night, the moonlight cascaded down like a waterfall.
A warm breeze brushed against my face, making me feel refreshed and invigorated.
In the courtyard of the Fan family, Fan Shenglun and Lu Yi sat side by side, chatting casually.
What was said was unimportant, but neither of them let the other's words fall flat.
Fan Shenglun took a sip of weak tea. "Your mother is actually very kind-hearted, but she has changed in the last few years..."
Lu Yi picked up the teapot and filled it to about seven-tenths full. "People always change. Everyone is the same."
Fan Shenglun looked up and clicked his tongue, "You should thank her, otherwise you wouldn't exist."
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Yes, it's my duty. I've already thanked you in my heart."
Fan Shenglun wanted to say something, but when he turned his head and saw Lu Yi's scrutinizing gaze, he swallowed his words.
A few months later, Old Ma brought good news.
Lu Han confessed everything.
The Lu Group will face a full investigation.
Despite Lu Baofei's tireless efforts, she was powerless to reverse the situation.
That day, Huo Jingxi found Lu Baofei and said, "Go and confess."
Looking at the chaotic company, Lu Baofei threw the documents in her hand to the ground, "Why, how can his hatred run so deep!"
Huo Jingxi shook his head, "You should be glad he's not that kind of ruthless person, otherwise he wouldn't have preserved your achievements of so many years!"
"But the damage you've done to him is irreparable. Don't you want to admit the mistakes you've made?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Baofei burst out laughing. "He's really clever. He's completely clean-handed, yet he's driven us all to a dead end. He's truly... truly my good brother!"
There has been no news from the eldest sister so far, but the third sister was brave enough to take the initiative to admit her mistake.
The fourth sister became depressed because of these family matters, while the mother suffered from huge emotional ups and downs every day.
With her father imprisoned, Han'er also lost her freedom.
Even if the Lu family owes Lu Yi, they should have paid it back by now. Why extinguish even the last glimmer of hope for the Lu family?
Huo Jingxi picked up the documents from the ground and placed them heavily in her hand.
"I've already said what I wanted to say. It's up to you how you decide, Lu Baofei. It's important to have self-respect, but don't look down on others. What do you say?"
Lu Baofei held on until Huo Jingxi’s gaze left her. Hearing the door close, all her arrogance vanished in an instant.
She was wrong, terribly wrong!
But is Lu Yi completely without fault?
...
As the weather warms up, Fan Shenglun's spirits gradually decline.
Under Lu Yi's insistence, he finally agreed to be hospitalized for treatment.
He was still asleep when Fan Huijun came to visit him every day, so Lu Yi could only make video calls to Fan Huijun during the brief moments when he was awake.
"Dad, how could you do this? Didn't we agree to watch Yi'er get married?"
"You can't go back on your word and leave him all alone again, otherwise he'll be so pitiful!"
Fan Huijun kept talking, while Fan Shenglun just smiled and nodded.
That day, Lu Yi had just returned from the company. Seeing that Fan Shenglun was in good spirits and had even brought himself water and taken his medicine, he took out his phone to tell Fan Huijun.
Unexpectedly, Fan Shenglun snatched the phone away and put it aside.
"Yi'er, I want to talk to you, but don't let your sister know."
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper tactfully left the ward.
Lu Yi draped a coat over him and said, "Go ahead and speak, I'm listening."
Fan Shenglun's furrowed brows relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief. "Daniel... it was indeed my arrangement, because I was selfish."
Lu Yi stared at him in disbelief. "Why?"
Fan Shenglun smiled gently and said, "Yi'er, I can't do it anymore, but I don't want to put you in a difficult position. You've always wanted to ask this, haven't you?"
Lu Yi nodded and said honestly, "Yes, it's not just me. As for why, I can't think of a reason for you to do this."
In order to drive a wedge between him and Lu Han, and to add fuel to the fire in their already bad relationship?
Or was it so that Lu Yi could stay in the Fan family without any worries?
He couldn't think of any other reason besides these two.
Fan Shenglun patted his hand a few times. "I've said it before, it's my selfishness. I simply don't want someone like him to get involved with our Fan family."
"As you know, public opinion can be a powerful force. If Daniel comes back, the Fan family will become a replica of the Lu family, and then your and Junjun's lives will be in complete chaos."
Lu Yi asked, puzzled, "That doesn't warrant taking his life, does it?"
Fan Shenglun's breathing became rapid, and he held his breath uncomfortably. "As for it, you're still young and don't understand how terrible people can be. Yi'er, have you ever thought about why I was willing to hand over the Fan family business to you?"
Lu Yi was stunned.
Lu Zhengming kept saying he wanted to pass the Lu family business to Lu Han because Lu Han was the heir he had chosen.
Is Fan Shenglun's decision to choose him so decisively really because he pities him?
Just as Lu Yi was about to press for more information, Fan Shenglun suddenly began tearing at his neck with both hands, then lay stiffly on the hospital bed...
"What’s wrong with you?"
