"It's nothing!" Lu Ronghui denied subconsciously. Lu Yang didn't respond, but just picked up the vegetables that she had messed up and started washing them.
"Focus on your exams; the Bai family's affairs won't affect you."
Lu Yang assumed she was still worried about the Bai family's affairs and gently comforted his sister.
When the incident occurred, he was taken away for investigation for several days and later suspended from his job. His wife was also affected, and even Lu Ronghui was taken away for questioning. All his family members were affected to some extent.
Adding to the rumors circulating in recent years, Lu Yang worried that these things would leave Rong Hui with a lasting trauma.
He beat the eggs and added warm water, intending to put them into the pot.
Looking at her brother's focused back, Lu Ronghui felt a pang of heartache.
Life is so good now, I wish it could stay like this forever.
After her rebirth, her brother and sister-in-law's relationship improved, which made Lu Ronghui both secretly happy and worried, subconsciously feeling that this happiness was not secure.
She could only console herself that she was overthinking it.
After Zhou Han's case was adjudicated, the conditions at the Northwest Farm where he was to go were extremely harsh, and Li Mei had spent almost all of her money on taking care of him recently.
Going to such a far place definitely requires preparing luggage and bedding. The farm couldn't possibly prepare these for prisoners, so she could only go back to the educated youth settlement to pack Zhou Han's old bedding for him to take with him.
And so, Lu Ronghui met Li Mei.
In her previous life, Li Mei's son was successful in his career, and Bai Rongjun had given birth to her grandson very early on, so she had long been enjoying her grandchildren at home.
Lu Ronghui had seen her once before from afar; she was wealthy, kind-looking, and a good mother-in-law with whom Bai Rongjun had a harmonious relationship.
There were no conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; she liked her daughter-in-law very much.
Bai Rongjun's child has always been kept in the Lu family, cared for by Lu Weiguo and his wife. His mother also visits the Lu family regularly. As for Li Mei, she prepares all sorts of delicious food every day to visit her grandson.
The family lived a very happy life, and Bai Rongjun's children were raised in a sweet and loving environment.
Bai Rongjun and Zhou Han were childhood sweethearts. Li Mei liked her daughter-in-law but had no memory of her daughter-in-law's sister-in-law, who was not very noticeable.
After discovering that Bai Rongjun had changed her college application, Lu Ronghui was devastated and returned to the Lu family to demand an explanation.
At that time, Lu Weiguo and He Shuyue were playing outside with Bai Rongjun's child, leaving Li Mei at home.
"What are you doing in here?!"
Li Mei's first reaction was to treat the haggard woman as a stranger, and she was very cautious when she saw her barging into her home.
Lu Ronghui looked around and realized she had no recollection of this home. It was filled with children's toys, and the room she used to share with Bai Rongjun had long since become their room.
There was almost no trace of the siblings in the house; even the older brother's room was filled with children's things.
Where is Bai Rongjun?
Lu Ronghui was already seething with anger, and seeing the situation at home only intensified her hatred for Bai Rongjun and the Lu family.
Li Mei looked at the trembling woman in front of her with some strangeness. She took a few steps back and dared not go forward. This woman looked like she was about to tear people apart at any moment.
But how did she know her daughter-in-law's name?
It took her a long time to realize that the person in front of her was actually another daughter of the Lu family.
Lu Weiguo and He Shuyue returned carrying the child, their faces filled with loving and doting smiles. Upon seeing Lu Ronghui, their first reaction was to frown.
"Why are you back?"
He Shuyue's face showed a hint of disgust. This daughter had never been close to her since childhood, and now she had turned out like this, truly a disgrace to her.
Lu Weiguo put down the child and looked at his travel-worn daughter, feeling a pang of sadness.
Lu Ronghui rushed back with a belly full of anger, not even bothering to wash up, looking extremely haggard and exhausted.
Lu Weiguo thought something had happened to her. Although his daughter wasn't close to him, she was still his own flesh and blood.
"What happened?"
"You'll have to ask your good daughter!"
Lu Weiguo had just felt a pang of heartache, but as soon as Lu Ronghui spoke, the atmosphere between the father and daughter immediately returned to normal.
This child has been like a powder keg since he was little, ready to explode at any moment in this family.
Adding to the hatred in Lu Ronghui's words, the child who had just been standing next to Lu Weiguo turned around and hid behind him.
"After all these years, can't you even speak properly anymore?"
He quickly picked up the child and comforted him. Lu Ronghui found it somewhat ridiculous. She knew her parents wouldn't stand up for her, but she still clung to a last glimmer of hope.
The child was crying in Lu Weiguo's arms. He patted his back with heartache, and He Shuyue was also comforting her. He turned around and glared at Lu Ronghui.
What's the point of her coming back? What good is she besides causing trouble for everyone?
Lu Ronghui found the scene of the family enjoying themselves quite amusing.
"You care so much about this stranger's child? You've never treated your own granddaughter like this."
Lu Weiguo paused for a moment, but He Shuyue immediately jumped up, probably because the words "outsider" had touched a nerve.
“They’re already divorced, and they even want to change An’an’s surname. She’s no longer a child of the Lu family!”
In this era, few people get divorced, and even fewer change their children's surnames after a divorce. He Shuyue felt that this matter had brought shame to the Lu family.
The couple had always liked An'an, after all, she was their son's daughter.
But the daughter-in-law didn't want to live with her son and took him to another city, which wasn't her fault.
"Isn't it because you don't care about An'an? Otherwise, why would your sister-in-law change her surname?"
Lu Ronghui has always kept in touch with Ancheng and often sends things to her sister-in-law and her family. She also knows that Lu Weiguo and his wife don't contact An'an much.
