Lu Antai's appearance disrupted their sweet date.
Lu Yuzhi found it difficult to talk to Li Peiyu about the mess at home, but she would have to enter the family sooner or later. She had the right to know everything about him.
Lu Yuzhi pushed a bowl of peeled shrimp in front of her and said, "Eat first."
"Um."
Even if Lu Yuzhi didn't say the second half of his sentence, Li Peiyu knew that after the meal, he would most likely talk to her about family matters.
While eating shrimp, Li Peiyu didn't forget to put some food on Lu Yuzhi's plate.
"You eat too."
We had finally finished eating when the waiter came over and took some more vegetables.
Lu Yuzhi held Li Peiyu's small hand and sat on the lakeside corridor.
Lu Yuzhi sat upright, and Li Peiyu rested her head on his shoulder. A cool breeze was blowing, and the two held hands.
She waited patiently for him to speak.
"Qi Juechen has told you everything about me, hasn't he?"
Li Peiyu was startled at first, then nodded.
Qi Juechen begged her not to tell Lu Yuzhi about Yang Kai kidnapping her.
It seems that Lu Yuzhi knows now, but how did he find out?
Did Qi Juechen confess on his own?
Anyway, Lu Yuzhi is so shrewd, it's normal that he couldn't be fooled.
Li Peiyu was naive and had no idea that it was because Lu Yuzhi had been spying on her.
Lu Yuzhi said, "Yang Kai kidnapped you, why didn't you tell me?"
"Qi Juechen begged me not to tell you," Li Peiyu replied truthfully.
"You just agree to anything someone asks you to do? What if you get buried alive someday? I wouldn't even know where to dig you out." Lu Yuzhi's expression was unusually solemn.
Li Peiyu straightened up, moved his head off his shoulder, and said, "You've already buried me, why dig me up? To make wine?"
“You can argue with me without losing a single word.” Lu Yuzhi frowned slightly, his expression becoming increasingly serious. “You’re quite lenient with the kidnappers, though.”
"Weren't the people who kidnapped me yours?" Li Peiyu retorted.
“That’s no excuse for you to hide things from me. Such a big thing, and you didn’t say a word. I have to find out about my own woman’s affairs from other people.” Lu Yuzhi tightened his grip on her hand and continued, “From now on, you have to tell me everything. You’re not allowed to hide anything from me.”
"oh."
Lu Yu asked, "Do you know who kidnapped you?"
"Yang Kai," Li Peiyu answered crisply.
"Why would he kidnap you for no reason? It's Qiao An." Lu Yuzhi's tone was somewhat heavy.
"Her? She's the one who had Yang Kai kidnap me?" Li Peiyu's face was full of disbelief.
"Yes," Lu Yuzhi replied affirmatively.
"What grudge do I have against her that she would kidnap me? It must be because of you again." Li Peiyu was full of doubts.
"Um"
Lu Yuzhi's grandfather didn't approve of them being together, so they gave up.
Qin Mingyue disagreed, and it was reasonable for her to want to cause trouble.
Even her secretary disapproved of her being with Lu Yuzhi, and even kidnapped her. How ridiculous!
"Being with you has been fraught with obstacles. Anyone could stand up and oppose this marriage." Li Peiyu's words carried a hint of helplessness and self-deprecation.
Lu Yuzhi was amused and gently embraced Li Peiyu, saying, "I promise no one will object from now on."
"Then Qiao An, how did you handle it?" Li Peiyu lifted her head from his embrace and asked him.
“He was sent to a mental hospital,” Lu Yuzhi replied calmly.
"Huh?" Li Peiyu broke free from Lu Yuzhi's embrace and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"The test results came back a few days ago, and she does indeed have some mental issues." Lu Yuzhi's expression was slightly complicated.
"Huh?" Li Peiyu opened her mouth wide in surprise again.
“I’m planning to send her abroad for treatment. She’s been my secretary since I took over Lu’s Group, for over a decade. It was very difficult at the beginning; she witnessed too much ugliness and depravity in human nature and was assimilated herself, which led to her mental health issues.” Lu Yu sighed, a hint of regret in his eyes.
“She’s quite pitiful.” Li Peiyu’s tone was full of sympathy.
“Yes, so I let her off the hook. Are you angry that I didn’t punish her?” Lu Yuzhi looked at Li Peiyu with a questioning gaze.
Li Peiyu threw herself into Lu Yuzhi's arms, pressing tightly against his strong chest through his snow-white shirt, and said gently, "How could that be? I thank her, thank her for being there for you through so many difficult days. Let's go see her together another day."
"Mmm. Good girl." Lu Yuzhi gently stroked Li Peiyu's hair, a happy smile on his face.
"What do you want to know about me? I'll tell you everything."
Li Peiyu thought for a moment, "Lu Antai's mother killed your mother, so you and Lu Antai should be irreconcilable enemies. But I see that he is quite polite to you."
When Qi Juechen was telling her the story, she ran off to find Lu Yuzhi before he finished. So she didn't hear the whole story.
Lu Yuzhi said, "After I took over Lu's Group, I went to great lengths to finally find the nurse who injected my mother with the fake medicine. Under my interrogation, she admitted that she was instructed by Lu Antai's mother. Originally, I should have sent Lu Antai's mother to jail to face legal punishment. However, my grandfather disagreed. He was worried that this matter would affect Lu's Group's stock performance and the company's interests. Lu Antai also gave up most of his shares and begged me to let his mother go."
"You agreed?" Li Peiyu asked eagerly.
"Yes. I didn't send her to jail." Lu Yuzhi's tone was surprisingly calm.
Just as Li Peiyu was about to marvel at Lu Yu's kind heart, he heard him say coldly.
“I sent her to a mental hospital for life. No one is allowed to visit her for the rest of her life.” Lu Yuzhi’s eyes were filled with a ruthless glint, and his cold gaze seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
