Chapter 33 Manta Rose is about to be killed by her tears.
Lu Yanzhou's heart sank instantly. What did it mean to be "uncertain of life or death"?
Lu Yanzhou looked at Zhang Quan, whose eyes were calm.
"President Lu, where are you going?" Chairman Hong called out to stop Lu Yanzhou as he got up and walked out.
Lu Yanzhou's sharp gaze pressed down, and the air seemed to thin instantly.
Lu Yanzhou ignored Chairman Hong and walked straight out of the conference room.
"He...he...he really doesn't respect us at all." Only after Lu Yanzhou had disappeared did Chairman Hong dare to curse loudly.
The people below exchanged glances. Lu Yanzhou really didn't need to take them seriously; he controlled 80% of the shares.
"Since Chairman Lu is absent from the meeting, notify the Human Resources Department to transfer Lu Jingchen from the subsidiary back to headquarters, effective today."
He leaned back with an air of superiority, completely at ease.
However, a minute later, the HR manager was still sitting in his seat.
"Lu Ye?" Chairman Hong called out loudly.
"I'm sorry, Chairman Hong, our HR department only follows General Manager Lu's personnel transfer orders."
Although everyone in the company calls Lu Yanzhou "President Lu" instead of "Chairman Lu," everyone knows perfectly well that it's just a training exercise given to Lu Yanzhou by the old man.
Everyone regarded Lu Yanzhou as Dong.
Chairman Hong kicked the table in anger, but Lu Ye remained unmoved.
In the end, it was Chairman Hong who angered himself and left.
Even though Lu Yanzhou is not physically present, his authority remains.
The elevated road was blocked off, and when Lu Yanzhou walked up, the police officers were conducting a clearance check.
"Mr. Lu, this is the lunchbox we found in the car."
Last night, Xia Weiwei went to his room and said that she wouldn't leave with him tomorrow; she would have her driver take her there at 11 pm.
To get him to agree, she kissed him several times.
Lu Yanzhou looked at the lunchbox, his heart sinking. No, she must be blessed with good fortune.
Lu Yanzhou calmly took a picture and asked the housekeeper if she had seen the lunchbox before.
"Sir, this is a special bento box that your wife made with love, saying she wanted you to try her cooking."
boom-
A crack appeared in Lu Yanzhou's world, and darkness quickly seeped in.
"Where's the surveillance footage?"
"We are already investigating and must find your wife's whereabouts within two hours."
Two hours later, the daylily buds were cold.
"Ten minutes."
"I need to know if my wife is safe within ten minutes."
The police officer looked troubled.
"Is there a problem?"
"No problem!" The officer saluted Lu Yanzhou.
"May I ask what the lady looks like...?"
Lu Yanzhou's gaze fell on the huge poster on the opposite side of the shopping mall.
"My wife's appearance is right there on the wall."
The officers looked over, but saw nothing but Xia Weiwei.
How could President Lu's wife be Xia Weiwei? The police officers were still searching when they heard a man's deep voice.
"Xia Weiwei, my wife."
Before they could even process what was happening, they heard Lu Yanzhou say something else.
"My wife is currently three months pregnant."
The police officers sped off on their motorcycles.
Lu Yanzhou stared at the smiling girl on the poster, his heart turning cold and almost numb.
Ah Yue, in this critical moment, please take good care of yourself. The baby is not important.
He has to hold on until he sees Ah Yue.
Lu Yanzhou took a deep breath and, with a clear mind, dialed Lu Qinghe's number.
Police officers across Hong Kong were immediately on high alert. Those unaware of the situation only knew that a car accident had occurred on the Central Elevated Road and it had been closed.
If a car accident happens, it's fine as long as it's handled properly. Is it really necessary to get it blocked?
Some people were grumbling to themselves when they saw ten police cars heading towards Tai Po District.
After ten, there are ten more...
Holy crap! This is going to be a huge change in Hong Kong!
In the old town of Tai Po, Xia Weiwei slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was a messy scene, with smelly socks and takeout boxes lying on the ground.
A foul stench wafted over, and I vomited up the morning sickness that I hadn't experienced during my pregnancy.
She vomited until her stomach was full of bitter fluid before she could recover and immediately looked at her stomach.
Fortunately, she didn't feel anything unusual in her stomach.
Xia Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief.
She finished preparing lunch by 11 a.m. She knew Lu Yanzhou would prepare lunch for her, but that was Lu Yanzhou's preparation; this was hers.
Ever since Lu Yuanying told her that Lu Yanzhou was afraid of fire, she had carefully observed Lu Yanzhou's cooking habits, and Lu Yanzhou did not seem to be afraid of fire at all.
After observing Lu Yanzhou for a while, she decided to cook him a meal.
On her way to work, she was looking at the scenery outside when suddenly her car crashed into the car in front of her. She was wearing a seatbelt and was physically unharmed, but she was shaken.
While the driver went out to negotiate, two men forced their way into the car, knocked her unconscious, and took her away.
Before she closed her eyes, she saw the driver shout "kidnapping."
Who kidnapped her?!
Xia Weiwei moved her feet and realized that she was not tied up.
Kidnap her, but don't bind her.
As Xia Weiwei was deep in thought, two voices sounded outside.
“I’m taking Xia Weiwei with me, you should leave quickly too. Lu Yanzhou has contacted Lu Qinghe, and they’ll be able to find us soon.”
Why are you leaving?
"We've been suppressed by Lu Yanzhou for so many years. Now that we've finally found something to use against him, shouldn't we make good use of it?"
"And what's more, he actually dared to marry your idol! Isn't that just disgusting?"
"We should take this opportunity to squeeze a good amount out of Lu Yanzhou."
“We all have Lu Qingshi’s blood in our veins, so why is he the powerful and influential Third Young Master Lu, while we are just rats in the street, hiding in the gutter!”
The man grew angrier as he spoke, his teeth clenching.
Xia Weiwei listened intently, not missing a single word, and vaguely understood that they should all be Lu Qingshi's illegitimate sons, one of whom should be Lu Jingchen.
"Second brother, I'll go see if Xia Weiwei is awake yet. You know what, Xia Weiwei is really beautiful and real, no wonder she's an international superstar."
Lu Jingchen stopped him and told him to come in. Xia Weiwei calmly and quickly looked at the furnishings in the room and found that there was nowhere to hide.
She went back to where she was, covered her vomit with a noodle bag, and pretended to faint.
Please don't come over, please don't come over.
Xia Weiwei prayed silently in her heart. The footsteps beside her grew closer and closer. Xia Weiwei kept telling herself to pretend to faint. She really fainted and her mind went blank.
Lu Jingchen squatted down beside her, then picked her up, and her body slumped against him as if she were unconscious.
"Are you really going to take her away?"
"Second brother, do you like Xia Weiwei that much?"
The man grumbled, but his gaze lingered on Xia Weiwei.
"I'll take her to see a doctor first." Lu Jingchen stepped aside, blocking the man's view.
"Second brother, none of it is yours, why are you protecting it?" The man also saw through Lu Jingchen's intentions and mocked, "Or do you want to be Lu Yanzhou's sucker?"
Lu Jingchen gave him a cold look, and he blocked the doorway, preventing Lu Jingchen from leaving.
"Xia Weiwei is our bargaining chip in this deal."
"Once your bargaining chip is gone, let's see if Lu Yanzhou won't kill you."
The man's face grew even more serious, but he still did not intend to let Lu Jingchen take Xia Weiwei away.
The atmosphere froze, and the citywide search proceeded methodically, with police sirens blaring.
"Proceed as planned." Instantly, the two were of one mind. Lu Jingchen said, and the man nodded.
Xia Weiwei felt herself leave the room and enter the next room.
Lu Jingchen put her on the sofa. She peeked open one eye and saw Lu Jingchen go into the kitchen. She quickly got up, tiptoed to the door, and was about to open it when Lu Jingchen's voice came.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you away right away."
Xia Weiwei didn't believe it at all. She turned the doorknob, quickly reached the stairwell, and started climbing down. Strangely, Lu Jingchen didn't follow her. She went down three floors in one go, but then she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and stopped.
Looking out the stairwell window, she saw Lu Yanzhou's figure. Just as she was about to call out, Lu Jingchen actually came up from the next floor.
She immediately changed direction, and Lu Jingchen caught up.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I know you're with Lu Yanzhou because of the baby in your belly."
Lu Jingchen stared at her stomach as if possessed.
"He's just like his father, all he does is use children to threaten women into being with him."
“Weiwei, I’ll take you away to a place where Lu Yanzhou isn’t around, and he won’t come looking for you.”
Xia Weiwei noticed that he was not in a good mental state, so she didn't say anything harsh to provoke him.
Lu Jingchen walked over so gently.
Why doesn't Lu Yanzhou come looking for us?
Lu Jingchen glanced at her warily, as if wondering what her purpose was in asking that question.
Xia Weiwei smiled and said, "You're right. It was Lu Yanzhou who forced me. I tried to run away many times but failed. So tell me why Lu Yanzhou hasn't come looking for me, so I can feel at ease."
Lu Jingchen revealed an expression of realization.
"Of course, he would die with him."
"How could Lu Yanzhou be dead?"
“Lu Yanzhou is afraid of fire. If we wait another minute, there will be a loud bang and the fire will rage inside the house. Even if he can beat Lu Jingmu, he will die in the fire.”
As Lu Jingchen spoke, a small flame was already burning in his eyes.
No!
Can't!
"Weiwei, let's go quickly, the fire is about to start."
Lu Jingchen kept pressing forward, but Xia Weiwei, standing on higher ground, used her advantage to push him hard. He missed a step, twisted his ankle, and rolled straight backward.
Xia Weiwei quickly changed direction and started climbing.
Lu Yanzhou, you mustn't come! You absolutely mustn't!
boom-
The scorching heat dissipated, and everyone heard a loud bang. Xia Weiwei stopped in her tracks, then ran uphill without stopping.
Why is everything all red? Lu Yanzhou froze, and a solid punch came flying toward his face.
Others collapsed with a bang, it was fire, but there was no light in Peach Blossom's eyes.
Five-year-old Lu Yanzhou returned home and saw a little boy about his age sitting on his sofa.
"Who are you, and why are you in my house?"
Lu Yanzhou called for people to drive the little boy out.
Coincidentally, even the housekeeper wasn't home.
The little boy stood up, his expression as proud as his father's: "This is my home."
“My dad brought me here.”
Five-year-old Lu Yanzhou vaguely knew that Lu Qingshi was having affairs outside. He usually didn't want to hear those rumors, but he would hear them anyway.
He knew instantly who the little boy was.
"No, that's my dad."
Lu Jingchen emphasized: "My dad!"
"My dad!"
The two argued back and forth, and Lu Jingchen got angry and pushed him to the ground. He got up and started fighting with Lu Jingchen.
Both men were fighting each other to the death. Lu Yanzhou had a slight advantage because he was familiar with his own home, but he was burned by a lighter.
Lu Jingchen kept lighting the lighter, forcing Lu Yanzhou to retreat. Then, he was surrounded by fire, and his skin cracked and shrank from the heat.
It hurts so much.
He covered his face, but there was nowhere to hide.
It was Lu Jingchen who set the fire.
He remembered.
He was still afraid of fire.
After learning that Xia Weiwei had severe anorexia, he turned on the gas in the kitchen. The moment the gas started to ignite, he flinched.
Lu Yanzhou, you can't even cook for Xia Weiwei, how can you take care of her?
You promised Xia Weiwei you would take good care of her.
His eyes were fixed on the flame, and his hand kept turning the button to turn the gas up to the maximum.
He raised his hand, intending to reach over the flames, but then withdrew it.
You're such a coward, Lu Yanzhou!
Lu Yanzhou slapped himself in anger and stood in front of the stove again.
For three nights, he forced himself to overcome his fear of fire and went to learn cooking from a master chef.
He will definitely be able to take good care of Xia Weiwei; he will be a qualified husband and a qualified father.
Every time he saw Xia Weiwei's smile as she ate the food he cooked, a little warmth would fill his heart.
As he ate each meal, he forgot his fear of fire.
Now, the fire dragged him back to reality. He was trembling so badly he couldn't move. Was he going to die in the fire again?
After his death, will Xia Weiwei remarry with her baby?
I really hate to part with it.
No one could take better care of Xia Weiwei than him.
Will his wife go hungry from now on, or will she develop anorexia again?
No, he can't continue to be so dejected; he has to stand up.
Lu Yanzhou braced himself on the chair and tried to stand up, but a whoosh of flames rushed over and he fell back to the ground. The fire spread to his feet, and a chill crept over his body, plunging him into panic once more.
It was at this moment that he heard Xia Weiwei's voice.
"Lu Yanzhou!"
"Lu Yanzhou!"
Ah Yue?
Lu Yanzhou looked over vaguely and saw Xia Weiwei's wet clothes dripping down to his feet. A slight coolness, along with the girl's apple scent, seeped into his body.
"Lu Yanzhou, are you still burning up?" Xia Weiwei quickly checked his body and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his clothes were all fine.
She gripped Lu Yanzhou's hand tightly, her eyes bright: "Can you still walk?"
Even if we can't leave, we have to leave.
"Lu Yanzhou, let's go out together."
She was so small in front of him, yet she tried to support him with her meager strength; she was pregnant.
Lu Yanzhou suddenly regained his strength. When Xia Weiwei was struggling, he used both hands to support the wet blanket on Xia Weiwei's body and took it from her. Xia Weiwei glanced to the side and saw Lu Yanzhou's determined face.
When husband and wife work together, their strength can break even metal.
The two walked in sync.
Sparks crackled and danced all around. Xia Weiwei was completely focused when suddenly, she felt a chill on her back. She turned around and saw Lu Jingmu leaping up with an iron rod, charging towards her.
She panicked for a moment, but Lu Yanzhou immediately pulled her close and held her in his arms.
The iron rod struck Lu Yanzhou's head and back like a muffled thunderclap.
Even in Lu Yanzhou's arms, Xia Weiwei could feel him tremble slightly.
"Lu Yanzhou, even if I die, I will make you die."
Lu Yanzhou braced himself, turned around, punched the man to the ground, and then kicked him hard. Only when he was sure the man would not wake up again did he collapse from the force of gravity.
"Lu Yanzhou!"
Lu Yanzhou knelt on one knee, looking into Xia Weiwei's eyes with tenderness and reluctance.
The fire spread completely.
"I……"
"I won't allow you to talk nonsense. My child only has one father, you."
Lu Yanzhou felt the softness of the girl's palm. Okay, he couldn't give in.
He was clearly struggling to hold up the quilt, but Xia Weiwei helped him by supporting the other part, which made things easier for him.
"Walk!"
The girl's gaze was firm, and she radiated light, which continuously seeped into his body, even penetrating his bones and blood, and finally took root in his heart, allowing him to grow new bones and blood.
So this is what love is.
An explosion occurred inside the house, and a strong pressure surged in. Lu Yanzhou grabbed Xia Weiwei, shielded her in his arms, and carried her out.
After that, he completely lost consciousness.
...
"Lu Yanzhou, you've been sleeping all day. If you dare to keep sleeping, I'm really going to marry someone else with the baby in my arms."
"Well, it's perfect since the baby hasn't met its dad yet and doesn't know that its dad has been feeding it for three months. It's a perfect opportunity to seamlessly call someone else 'Dad'."
What a heartless woman! She didn't say that before.
“Baby, how about we start practicing now, or Mommy can pick some handsome guys. If you’re satisfied, kick Mommy’s belly and Mommy will go after that handsome guy.”
She never even pursued him, yet she went after other men.
Which man would dare to receive this treatment?
"Baby……"
Lu Yanzhou opened his eyes in anger, still teaching the baby all sorts of nonsense.
"Gu..." His throat was so dry, it felt like it was blocked by a stone.
"Ah, honey, you're awake!"
Xia Weiwei threw herself at him, a soft, floating ball of flesh landing in his arms, and Lu Yanzhou instantly lost his breath.
Seriously? He's so spineless.
"husband."
He was still angry when he glanced at the girl and saw her crying, tears streaming down her face.
I'm going to be killed by her tears.
His heart softened instantly; he must have scared her, which made her want to remarry.
Gradually, his voice regained some strength.
When he spoke again, although his voice was hoarse, he was able to utter a complete sentence.
"Xia Weiwei, I'm awake. Don't even think about marrying someone else. I don't agree to a divorce."
"I didn't say I wanted to marry someone else."
Oh!
And there he was again, looking utterly innocent.
Xia Weiwei pressed the button on the bed, and within two minutes, the doctor arrived to examine her.
Taking advantage of this break, Xia Weiwei informed everyone that Lu Yanzhou had woken up.
The Lu family suppressed the news of Lu Yanzhou's coma, and the doctors in charge of his treatment at the hospital also signed a confidentiality agreement.
"The smoke residue in Mr. Lu's body has been drawn out. He has a mild concussion, which will not interfere with his normal life. However, just to be on the safe side, he still needs to be hospitalized for observation for three more days."
When Bai Ying and Grandpa Lu arrived, they happened to hear the doctor's instructions.
The two relaxed.
"How are you?" When the doctor was about to leave, Lu Yanzhou stopped him and asked the doctor to examine Xia Weiwei.
Xia Weiwei smiled and said, "I've already been checked by the doctor, and the baby in my belly is fine."
Lu Yanzhou looked directly at her and said, "I'm talking about you."
Xia Weiwei couldn't follow Lu Yanzhou's train of thought and looked a little confused, so she repeated, "Baby is fine."
Yes, his wife is in trouble; he's 100% sure.
"I booked a T-shirt for my wife; she seems to be suffering from the smoke."
What nonsense is he spouting...
"Alright, Yue is fine. When the firefighters rescued you two, Yue was protected by you and didn't get hurt at all."
"Afterwards, A-Yue underwent a comprehensive examination, and all the results were good."
“Good?” Lu Yanzhou pondered the two words. Clearly, he was not satisfied with just “good.” “Good means it still needs careful nurturing.”
“Yes, she needs to be well cared for. You have to take care of your own wife.” Bai Ying teased him.
The one who is most seriously injured right now is Lu Yanzhou, so the focus should be on her.
Xia Weiwei quickly steered the conversation back on track.
"Grandpa, Mom, right now A-Zhou can only drink some light porridge. I want to go and make some for A-Zhou."
Xia Weiwei tried to leave, but Lu Yanzhou grabbed her arm.
Lu Yanzhou didn't say anything, but stared straight at her.
Don't let her leave.
"You don't need to do it. You're pregnant now, so Mom will bring the food when she comes."
That night, Bai Ying said she wanted to stay and keep her company at the bedside, and Xia Weiwei volunteered. At this point, Lu Yanzhou actually told her to go back and rest.
Xia Weiwei: "No way, he's my husband, so naturally I have to stay with him in bed."
The girl smiled sweetly, and Lu Yanzhou glanced at her before quickly looking away.
Xia Weiwei's long eyelashes fluttered, and with a soft "Eh," Bai Ying tactfully stood up, then stopped.
"Lu Yanzhou, you'd better bear with it for the first three months."
Here we go again.
He's already like this, and he can still do this? What do you take him for?
Bai Ying had warned her several times during this period, and Xia Weiwei had gotten used to it, and her face was no longer as flushed as before.
After Bai Ying left, Xia Weiwei thought for a moment and then climbed into Lu Yanzhou's bed.
Lu Yanzhou's single room had a bed that was as big as a double bed.
"Why aren't you looking at me?" Xia Weiwei glanced sideways; the man was staring straight at the ceiling.
"Honey, you're so amazing! You protected me and the baby."
Lu Yanzhou didn't look at her, so she took the initiative and kissed Lu Yanzhou's lips.
It's like a chick pecking at rice, one peck after another.
Lu Yanzhou showed no reaction on his face, but his body temperature was rising uncontrollably.
Xia Weiwei pecked at it several times, then got tired and obediently lay back down.
"husband!"
Her tone was both spoiled and tender, and Lu Yanzhou felt a warmth in his heart that he had never experienced before.
He glanced sideways and met Xia Weiwei's bright gaze.
I really want to fuck her to death.
I want her to never be able to get out of bed again.
Something inside her body started to stir, wanting to burrow into her body.
"What's wrong?" Xia Weiwei asked, leaning closer after being stared at for a while.
"It's nothing," Lu Yanzhou said coldly, but his eyes never left her.
Lu Yanzhou was looking at her strangely now, as if he were looking at prey.
Xia Weiwei tried to avoid Lu Yanzhou's gaze, but she couldn't.
As the atmosphere grew more intense, Xia Weiwei felt that Lu Yanzhou was like a male enchantress exuding a deadly allure, a broken version of that enchantress.
But the more damaged it was, the more she couldn't help but want to cherish it.
Xia Weiwei pressed her heart together, preparing to make her move, when Lu Yanzhou's phone rang.
The ringing of the bell broke her impulse, and she was able to restrain herself again.
Neither of them spoke, and the bell continued to ring.
"Aren't you going to answer?" Xia Weiwei asked.
Aren't you going to continue?
Xia Weiwei: "!"
He knew what she was going to do!
He's still waiting for her!
ah!
How could this man be like this!
Xia Weiwei turned her head away from him, and Lu Yanzhou let out a soft laugh from deep in his throat.
"President Lu, I don't know how the news of your accident got out. Chairman Hong, using your inability to work as a reason, has joined forces with several directors to forcibly take over your position."
Xia Weiwei was worried for Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou said "I understand" and hung up the phone.
"What story would you like to hear tonight?" Lu Yanzhou asked.
What time is it? You're still in the mood to tell stories.
"Then let's talk about the three little dwarfs in the forest."
Did he memorize the fairy tales?
Xia Weiwei turned around: "Aren't you worried about the company?"
"What's there to worry about? If I can't even handle this little thing, how am I supposed to manage the Lu Group?"
He was groomed by Grandpa Lu to be his successor from a young age. Although he developed a spoiled and dissolute personality along the way, he still acquired all the necessary skills.
Strangely, Lu Yanzhou spoke so calmly, yet she suddenly felt a sense of security.
If he says that, then he must be fine.
Xia Weiwei muttered, "Last night, I couldn't sleep without your fairy tales."
Lu Yanzhou had a smile on his face.
For the next three days, Lu Yanzhou rested in the hospital. His grandfather and Bai Ying came to visit him, but they didn't mention anything about the company.
On the fourth day, after the doctor's follow-up examination, he said I could be discharged.
Xia Weiwei happily packed her things, and on the way back to the mansion, he suddenly said he had to go to the company.
Xia Weiwei, knowing they were still secretly married, wore a mask.
As soon as Lu Yanzhou entered the company, the staff stopped one after another to greet him.
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
One sound after another, Xia Weiwei looked at the man's calm and expressionless face, and was amazed. Perhaps this was the true way Lu Yanzhou worked.
Lu Yanzhou arrived at conference room 802.
"I choose Chairman Hung."
"I also choose Chairman Hung."
"Gentlemen, once Chairman Hong takes office, he will certainly live up to your expectations."
"Is that so?" Lu Yanzhou's calm voice came from outside. Everyone looked over in the direction of the voice and saw Lu Yanzhou at the door. Some people gasped in fear.
"Mr. Lu, you're not..."
"Shouldn't I be in the hospital, lying there paralyzed?"
Lu Yanzhou pulled her forward and threw the documents in his other hand onto the table.
The list includes Hong Tianji's crimes of embezzlement, tax evasion, [illegal activities], contract fraud, and tax evasion.
"If Chairman Hong hadn't pulled this stunt on me, I probably wouldn't have had time to investigate."
Hong Tianji denied it, so the police officer knocked on the glass door.
"Whether you admit it or not is none of my business. I've already called the police. Go talk to the police."
The situation reversed instantly, and Xia Weiwei understood. He had been trying to make things escalate over the past three days so that he could catch them all in one fell swoop.
"By the way, Chairman Hong, I have already bought back the 5% of shares you held."
When Hong Tianji was led to the door, he suddenly heard this and stared at Lu Yanzhou in astonishment.
"From today onwards, you are kicked out of the Lu Group."
"Does anyone else have any questions?"
The crowd cheered and applauded, expressing their gratitude to President Lu for eliminating a scourge from the company.
On the way back, Xia Weiwei glanced at the evidence Lu Yanzhou had presented. It turned out that Hong Tianji, together with Lu Jingchen and Lu Qingshi's fourth son Lu Jingmu, were trying to bring Lu Yanzhou down.
The purpose of kidnapping her was to blackmail Lu Yanzhou and to lure him into a trap they had set.
She dragged Lu Yanzhou down with her.
"Don't overthink it. If it weren't for you, I'd still be afraid of fire."
"Ah Yue, I'm not afraid of fire anymore, not at all."
His sweetheart personally pulled him out of his childhood trauma.
Upon arriving home, the two were surprised to see Lu Qingshi.
“Ah Zhou, I know Ah Chen and Ah Mu made mistakes, but you, as the eldest brother…”
As soon as Lu Qingshi opened his mouth, Xia Weiwei knew what he wanted to say.
"Should the eldest brother give in?!" Before Lu Yanzhou could say anything, Xia Weiwei stood alone in front of him, her powerful aura intimidating. "Lu Yanzhou almost lost his life, and his arm was injured. He didn't have to suffer like this."
"Besides, is it Lu Yanzhou's fault?"
"Instead of guarding their own little piece of land, they insist on coveting things that don't belong to them!"
"Did you visit A-Zhou when he was sick?"
Not even once!
"Now, you want Lu Yanzhou to forgive them? On what grounds?!"
"The biggest culprit in this matter is you. If you hadn't been so promiscuous and had so many illegitimate children, none of this would have happened!"
Xia Weiwei finished speaking in one breath, leaving Lu Qingshi speechless and utterly humiliated.
At that moment, Xia Weiwei saw Grandpa Lu and Bai Ying standing at the door, smiling at her.
She was so angry just now that she snapped at Lu Qingshi.
Did she overstep her bounds?
Xia Weiwei was somewhat at a loss, but Lu Yanzhou held her hand and gave her a continuous source of strength.
"Wife, you're right."
“Yes, what Yue said is so true!” Old Master Lu stepped forward. “We will not acknowledge any of those illegitimate children. With such a big incident involving A-Zhou, those people should be punished as they deserve.”
"As for you, your own son is in the hospital, and you didn't even come. You even tried to morally blackmail him. Get out of here and never step into my house again without my permission."
Lu Qingshi was utterly humiliated. Realizing what he had done, he felt deeply guilty towards Lu Yanzhou and finally managed to say "I'm sorry" before slinking away.
"From now on, our A-Zhou will have someone to protect him," Bai Ying said with relief.
"Of course, A-Yue is amazing." Grandpa Lu praised.
"What's going on?" Xia Weiwei was a little embarrassed by the praise, but then she laughed along with everyone else.
As the days passed, everyone was busy preparing for the upcoming engagement party.
That day, Xia Weiwei finally made Lu Yanzhou eat the lovingly prepared bento box she made.
"It wasn't delivered that day, but it was finally delivered today."
Lu Yanzhou hummed in agreement. Although the presentation wasn't good and the food didn't taste good, he was an understanding husband. He would say it was delicious and finish it all.
"You've been smiling ever since you saw me today, what good thing happened?"
Xia Weiwei shook her head, and the next second, she hugged his arm with both hands: "Lu Yanzhou, tomorrow is our engagement banquet, I'm so happy and excited!"
A smile appeared on his face; he was also looking forward to it.

Author's Note: VV, upon seeing Lu Qingshi's move, exclaimed: "I'm all too familiar with it! I've experienced it before, so my attack power is incredibly high!" [Exaggerated praise][Exaggerated praise][Exaggerated praise]
