Chapter 13: Lu Yan, the Beaten One of the Lu Family

Lu Yunzheng lifted his eyes and gave him a faint glance.

For some reason, Lu Yan felt a chill in that gaze.

But under Lu Hongyu’s warning look, Lu Yan dared not disobey, so he obediently walked in front of Lu Yunzheng and awkwardly called out, “Little Uncle.”

“I am the third in the family.” Lu Yunzheng’s voice was cold, and he then picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Lu Yan was still a little confused, but Lu Hongyu, on the other side, heard the subtext and immediately had a gleam of joy in his eyes, “What are you still standing there for? Call him Third Uncle.”

Lu Hongyu knew very well that the reason his company had been able to develop rapidly in City A these past few years was because he was leaning on a big tree.

As a company supported by the Lu Family of the Capital to enter City A, Lu Hongyu had gone from an unfavored illegitimate child to where he is today, all thanks to his good fortune in saving Lu Yunzheng’s mother when she was giving birth.

To put it nicely, he could still be considered a distant relative of the Lu Family, after all, he was just an illegitimate child of the Lu Family’s branch, and his status was not presentable.

Now, Lu Yunzheng’s words had given him a glimpse of the future, perhaps his relationship with the Lu Family could be closer.

Although the Lu Family was currently in the hands of Lu Yunzheng’s elder brother, everyone in the Capital knew that Lu Yunzheng was the youngest son of the Lu Family, and he had been the apple of everyone’s eye since he was a child.

Not only the old couple, but even his elder brother and elder sister doted on him.

Initially, when he went to join the army, no one in the family supported him, only his elder brother stood up for him and managed to convince the old couple to let him do whatever he wanted.

“Third Uncle?” Lu Yan was even more confused.

Lu Hongyu was filled with regret, how could he have given birth to such a clueless son, who still hadn’t figured out who the other party was.

He could only take advantage of Lu Yunzheng’s inattention and use his mouth to gesture his identity.

Lu Yunzheng didn’t expose their little act, he just pretended to be casual and said, “I heard there was a funeral at the Luo Family today?”

Although he didn’t know why Lu Yunzheng was interested in the Luo Family’s affairs, Lu Hongyu still followed his lead and said, “It’s the little girl who grew up with our Ayan, she was so young, it’s a pity…”

“Not a boyfriend and girlfriend?” Lu Yunzheng asked.

Lu Hongyu was taken aback, “Third Young Master knows about that?”

“Heard a little.” Lu Yunzheng.

“The two kids did date for a few years, originally thought they would get married, but who would have thought… it’s a pity.” Lu Hongyu said with regret.

He didn’t notice, however, that Lu Yan’s face wasn’t looking good.

“Not a pity, cutting losses in time, it’s good.” Lu Yunzheng’s voice was calm.

But the meaning in his words made Lu Hongyu misunderstand, thinking he was talking about Lu Yan cutting his losses in time.

Although he felt it was a bit cold-blooded to say such things when the person was dead, Lu Hongyu wasn’t stupid enough to go against Lu Yunzheng over a Luo Qianyun.

He just smiled and said, “After all, they had been together for a few years, sending the girl off today, he must be feeling uncomfortable, he doesn’t like to talk.”

“But I heard he left the girl alone in the no man’s zone?” Lu Yunzheng asked in a seemingly puzzled tone.

“That doesn’t count, they encountered a pack of wolves, everyone was trying to escape.” Lu Hongyu explained.

“Wolf pack?” Lu Yunzheng chuckled, seeming to have a hint of mockery in his voice, “One or two?”

Meeting Lu Yunzheng’s gaze, Lu Yan clearly felt the mockery in his eyes.

At this moment, Lu Yan knew that Lu Yunzheng had probably seen the news that had gone viral online.

Lu Hongyu didn’t know, but he also felt that the atmosphere was a bit off, and he didn’t dare to speak casually.

He looked at Lu Yan with a questioning look, and Lu Yan could only sigh and tell him what happened today, “Qianyun didn’t die, she came back…”

“Came back?” Lu Hongyu was surprised, then he said strangely, “That’s good news, why do you look like that?”

Lu Yan didn’t want to talk about today’s events in front of Lu Yunzheng, but Lu Hongyu kept asking, and Lu Yunzheng didn’t leave, so he could only grit his teeth and break the dam.

When he finished listening to the story of Luo Qianyun asking him to apologize, Lu Hongyu’s face turned black, “You really are… you’re stupid enough to do this kind of thing, how have I been teaching you all this time? You’re really going to make me mad, I…”

Seeing Lu Hongyu looking for something to hit him with, Lu Yunzheng didn’t get involved, after all, it looked like a show, he had seen it many times when he was a child.

Seeing that he couldn’t find a suitable tool to hit him with, Lu Yunzheng kindly provided one: a steel pipe freshly removed from the furniture.

Looking at the freshly made tool in his hand, Lu Hongyu couldn’t even pretend anymore, he could only grit his teeth and hit him.

Lu Yan didn’t expect his father to really hit him, and he hit him so hard.

Seeing that Lu Hongyu had hit him twice as a show and wanted to stop, Lu Yunzheng said in a timely manner, “If Lu Yan had done this kind of thing in our family, my father would have broken his legs. After all, it’s a matter of life and death, we can’t report it to the police, if we let him off lightly, who knows what kind of stupid things he might do in the future.”

Good heavens, Lu Yan felt the force of the blow even harder.

After watching the play for a while, Lu Yunzheng found it boring, “Lu Yan’s actions are indeed not decent, if it’s not handled properly, it might affect his future.”

“Third Young Master, rest assured, we will definitely handle it properly.” Lu Hongyu assured him.

When Lu Yunzheng finally left, Lu Yan, whose legs were trembling from being beaten, couldn’t help but say, “Dad, why did you really hit me? I almost got beaten to death by you.”

“Who told you to be as stupid as a pig and tell Lu Yunzheng about this, I had to give him an explanation.” Lu Hongyu said coldly.

Lu Yan was also wronged, “It’s not my fault, you insisted on asking me.”

“I asked you, you didn’t know to say less, or say something else, why did you have to confess everything so honestly?” Lu Hongyu was even more speechless.

“…” Lu Yan was also sulking, “Dad, what exactly is Lu Yunzheng here for? Didn’t he say he joined the army, and he doesn’t even have time to go home, how can he still have time to hang around our house?”

“It seems like his comrade-in-arms had something happen, I didn’t dare to ask too much, anyway, the main family called, we just have to entertain him well. Our company will depend on Lu’s big project next quarter, we can’t offend this big Buddha.” Lu Hongyu said solemnly.

Thinking of Lu Yunzheng, he had been beaten for half a day, Lu Yan was even more unhappy…

On the other side, Luo Qianyun and Song Yunjing were enjoying a gourmet feast made by Song Ningyu himself.

As expected, the unexpected happened unexpectedly…

“Brother, I told you, you’re not suitable for cooking, you have this leisure time, you might as well go make more money, and then you can buy more food.” Song Yunjing said, looking at Luo Qianyun, “Qianqian, don’t you think so?”

“Yunjing’s suggestion is actually quite reasonable.” Luo Qianyun nodded in agreement.

It’s not that Song Ningyu’s cooking was some kind of dark cuisine, but it was indeed… not delicious.

It was edible, it wouldn’t kill you, but it just wasn’t delicious.

When the takeout arrived, even Song Ningyu gave up struggling, the three of them ate takeout together.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed…

As Lu Yan and Pei Xianxian hadn’t taken any action, more and more people were discussing it online, and the endless conspiracy theories made the matter even more mysterious.

This day, because Song Yunjing’s best friend was getting married, she had to go be a bridesmaid.

Luo Qianyun, who was left alone at Song’s house, received a call from her brother, Luo Qi…
