With tears welling up in his daughter's eyes, Li Yuan felt bad too. "Huanhuan, you are our family's precious child. Dad doesn't want you to suffer in the future."
“If Lu Shen is not capable of giving you happiness, Dad will absolutely not let you be with him.”
Yesterday, Li Yuan had Han Chen investigate Lu Shen's background and learned that he had relied on his mother since childhood. His mother was in poor health, so he started working in the black market at a young age. He was quick-witted and quite good at making money.
Even now that he knows he has a wealthy father, he doesn't intend to rely on his family.
Li Yuehuan's heart tightened. Did her father really want to oppose her being with Lu Shen?
Her face changed instantly, her lips pursed, and she was about to loudly protest against her father when she suddenly felt a slight itch on her palm.
It turned out that Lu Shen, who was beside her, gently scratched her hand, as if signaling her to calm down. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and at the same time conveyed trust and support to Lu Shen with her eyes.
Lu Shen met Li Yuan's eyes without flinching, his voice firm and resolute: "Uncle, I fully understand your concerns. But please rest assured, I am fully capable of giving Huanhuan happiness. I will cherish her like a precious jewel, dedicating my life to protecting and caring for her. Moreover, I assure you that every penny I earn in the future will be entrusted to Huanhuan for safekeeping, ensuring her a sense of security." As he spoke, Lu Shen's eyes were filled with sincerity and determination, as if he were making an eternal vow to Li Yuan.
It would be a lie to say that this long speech wasn't shocking, but the Li family did not compromise because of it.
Li Hanting looked at Lu Shen across from him, "Huanhuan has been spoiled by us since she was little, so she can't cook, can't do housework, and can't take care of people. Are you sure you won't look down on her in the future?"
Li Yuehuan bit her lip and argued, "Second brother, who said I can't do it? I can learn."
"Huanhuan, don't interrupt."
Chen Shufang pulled her back, not wanting her to get involved.
Lu Shen calmly replied to Li Hanting, "Second Brother Li, to be honest, I can do all these jobs. Huanhuan just needs to happily do what she likes."
Having said all that, Lu Shen's answer did indeed satisfy them.
The living room fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.
Chen Shufang tugged at Li Yuan's sleeve, "Old Li, say something."
Li Yuan's expression softened considerably. "I agree to your relationship."
Li Yuehuan was so happy she almost screamed, and rushed over to take his arm. "Dad, you're the best, thank you!"
Waaah... She will never talk back to her dad again.
Li Yuan was not swayed by his daughter's sweet talk. He changed the subject, "However, I also have conditions. There are still three years until you graduate. If you are still loving and affectionate in these three years, then I will completely agree."
Lu Shen smiled slightly, "Uncle, I won't let you down."
The conversation went fairly well, and Lu Shen stayed at the Li family's house for dinner before leaving.
When Zheng Lanxin learned that the Li family had agreed to their relationship, she was overjoyed.
"Lan'er, are you really that happy?"
Lu Zhenhao held his wife in his arms, and after twenty years, he heard her joyful laughter again.
That's good. Xiao Shen has married a daughter-in-law she's satisfied with, so there won't be any mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts in the future.
"Huanhuan is such a lovable child. You'll definitely be satisfied when you meet her." Zheng Lanxin looked at Lu Zhenhao with tender eyes, her tone exceptionally gentle.
Lu Zhenhao gently kissed Zheng Lanxin's forehead and comforted her, "Lan'er, you don't need to worry too much. In any case, as long as our son truly likes it, I will definitely find a way to get the Li family to agree."
Zheng Lanxin's heart tightened. "You can't say this in front of our son, and you can't interfere in this matter. Let the two of them fall in love freely."
She knew Lu Zhenhao's methods well; he was never a kind person, and he used all his patience and gentleness on her.
"Okay, okay, I won't get involved in this. I'll listen to you."
After the Li family agreed, Lu Shen visited the Li family even more frequently, especially during winter and summer vacations.
Chen Shufang treated him like a son and became increasingly satisfied with him.
Every time he came over, Li Yuan's expression was very serious, but judging from his willingness to play chess with Lu Shen, he was satisfied.
Lu Zhenhao brought Zheng Lanxin back to Beijing. It was a detached villa in European style, decorated entirely according to her preferences.
"Lan'er, this is our home. Do you see anything that needs to be changed? Just let me know and I'll take care of it."
Zheng Lanxin gently shook her head and looked up at the man above her.
"That's already very good, Zhenhao, thank you."
"By the way, don't your parents live here?"
After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked.
Lu Zhenhao said without changing his expression, "I moved out twenty years ago. I will only go back if there is a reason."
Zheng Lanxin's fingers lightly caressed the man's chest. "Are you still resentful towards them?"
She never imagined that her departure would leave him all alone for twenty years.
"They forced you to leave, and I will never forgive them for the rest of my life."
Zheng Lanxin quickly covered his mouth, "Zhenhao, please don't blame them. Actually, they didn't say anything hurtful back then. It was my lack of trust in you that led to us being separated for twenty years."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take you up there to have a look."
