The next day, when Lu Yan got up, Lu Shumu had already gotten up, and with the help of his nanny aunt, he got dressed by himself.

The babysitter opened the curtains.

The sunlight shone in, creating a dazzling beam in the air, with undulating dust in the beam and obvious particles.

Lu Shumu sat quietly, his eyes staring at the beam of light there, as if he was curious and in a daze.

Then he stretched out his hand and gently put it together, as if he wanted to grasp the light there, but when he closed it, he was only empty-handed, and he didn't grasp anything.

There was some sunlight that shone over his face and hit his eyelashes.

His face was somewhat transparent and pale in the sunlight.

Lu Shumu pursed his lips, got off the bed, and put on his shoes.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lu Yan also coming out of the door, Lu Yan was long and jade, with crisp shoulders, and a black handmade suit, with a good texture, angular, which set off his tallness.

He lowered his eyes, and the small figure of Lu Shumu was reflected in his dark pupils.

Lu Yan said: "Have you collected your luggage?"

Lu Shumu shook his head.

Lu Yan said: "You go and clean up, I'll let Auntie help you, and you can see for yourself what you need." ”

The words of the father and son have always been pitiful, and they usually have something to say and quiet down when there is nothing.

Lu Yan sat in the restaurant downstairs for a while, waiting for Lu Shumu to come down to eat, after Lu Shumu finished packing up his things, he went downstairs, and the two finished breakfast in silence, and the atmosphere was so dull that the servants around him felt a little uncomfortable.

The plane was at 11 noon.

After the two of them finished breakfast, they were ready to go out.

Outside the door, a bodyguard opened the car door, Lu Yan didn't ask Lu Shumu, and directly picked him up, Lu Shumu's body stiffened for a moment, and he was not used to Lu Yan's closeness.

Lu Yan didn't react, his face was indifferent, his bony fingers helped Lu Shumu sort out his seat belt, the bodyguard carried the luggage into the car, and Lu Yan also followed into the car.

The window film is thick, and the light inside the car is a little dim.

Lu Shumu asked him, "Let's go back to China, right?"

"Hmm. The lines of Lu Yan's chin were smooth, and he turned his face sideways and looked out the window.

The car started and slowly drove away from the ancient, nearly 100-year-old manor, in the garden, the fountain sprayed, the sun fell, reflecting a shallow luster, the water beads were shiny, but in the blink of an eye, they dispersed in the air.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the castle, the car suddenly stopped.

Lu Yan's face was expressionless, his eyes were indifferent, and he raised his eyes to look at the driver in the front seat: "What's wrong?"

The driver furrowed his brows: "It's Uncle Cheng." ”

"Ignore him and just drive away. Lu Yan's voice did not have a trace of ups and downs.

The driver said: "Uncle Cheng is blocking the front and refusing to get out of the way, he seems to be shouting something." ”

The car has a good sealing performance, so almost no sound is heard, Lu Yan pursed his thin lips, his slender white fingers pressed the button, and the window slowly descended.

The cold wind blew in a little.

Took away some of the temperature in the compartment.

With the wind blowing in, there was also Cheng Sanshu's angry voice: "Let Lu Yan in the car let me down." ”

Lu Yan's eyebrows did not move, his thin lips looked a little cold, and after he heard Cheng Sanshu's voice, the darkness under his eyes became thicker and thicker, and it seemed that he could not see the bottom.

Third Uncle Cheng probably knew that Lu Yan had lowered the car window, and he strode over, his face was gloomy, his eyebrows were covered with frost, he clenched his teeth, and the wrinkles on his forehead were a little deep.

"Lu Yan, don't forget that you believe in Lu!"

Lu Yan's thin lips raised a little arc: "And then?"

"You are too young Lu Yan, you are too impatient, do you think that you can devour the entire Cheng family in just three years? You only gained a firm foothold this year, and now you actually want to move me and Steward Cheng? You don't want to think about it, if it weren't for Steward Cheng's support, you would have been killed by those uncles three years ago. ”

The bigger the family, the more endless selfishness there is.

The Cheng family is like a pool of stagnant water that has long been stagnant, the surface is covered with a layer of lotus flowers, which looks brilliant, but I don't know that the bottom has already rotted. Fortunately, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, which still attracts the attention of most people in the family, after all, they all want to rely on the Cheng family to eat for a lifetime.

Lu Yan's eyes were a little cold, and the Cheng family was emptied little by little by these moths.

When he first arrived at the Cheng family, whether it was a side branch or a distant relative, they all gathered together, just to carve up the big cake of the Cheng family, the head of the Cheng family died, but several of his brothers were still alive, they were already ready to move when the head of the Cheng family was seriously ill, and as soon as the head of the Cheng family died, they were even more arrogant, and they didn't take Lu Yan, an abandoned son who had already been given up by the Cheng family, in their eyes, but they still designed one accident after another just in case to prevent Lu Yan from returning to the Cheng family to inherit the position of the head of the family. At that time, he was in a deep crisis, full of crises, walking on thin ice, frightening every step, food to be tested for poison, cars to repeatedly check brakes and parts, whether going out or at home, he had to carry more than 4 bodyguards, death passed him again and again, before the succession ceremony began, when he was about to get into the car, the black car suddenly exploded, and the heat wave of debris carriers rushed to his face; when he changed to a new car, a forklift suddenly went out of control and loaded towards him; during the succession ceremony, there were snipers who did not know where to shoot the bodyguards in front of him。

If he hadn't gotten into the car a few minutes late, if it hadn't been for the driver's emergency turn, if it hadn't been for the bodyguard who blocked a shot for him, his life would have been gone a long time ago.

At that time, he was extremely glad that he left Yu and Little Star in China. No matter how powerful the methods of the Cheng family's uncles were, it was difficult to create an accident at the foot of the Chinese Imperial City, which had strict security management, but he was still not at ease, so he trapped Yan Yu in the Lu family villa.

He did his best to set up the security level to ensure the safety of the Lu family's villa.

But I didn't expect that the biggest danger did not come from the Cheng family, but from himself.

Lu Yan came back to his senses and stared coldly at Uncle Cheng outside the car, Third Uncle Cheng had the least power among the brothers and was the least competitive, so three years ago, he did not choose to stand with the brothers against Lu Yan, but took refuge in Steward Cheng.

In the past three years, he has also eaten fragrant and spicy food, and his life has been beautiful.

But he didn't expect that Lu Yan would suddenly attack Steward Cheng, he and Steward Cheng were grasshoppers on the same rope, so they were naturally implicated, and in a blink of an eye, they were brutally beaten into the cold palace by Lu Yan.

Third Uncle Cheng gritted his teeth: "Lu Yan, you have to stay a line in life, Steward Cheng was the one who supported you back then, if it weren't for him, you would have died I don't know how many times, you can't be a man without conscience, think about it yourself, how much kindness does Steward Cheng have to you?"

Lu Yan tightened his lips, and his dark eyes were deep.

Third Uncle Cheng: "You are not as good as a brute, cross the river and tear down the bridge, and in a blink of an eye, you will trample Steward Cheng who gave you infinite kindness under your feet! Lu Yan, be careful not to anger me, and don't provoke Steward Cheng!" He sneered, "You should know that your short-lived father not only died early, but his body died very early! Back then, things in the family were basically dominated by Steward Cheng." So his ability is by no means limited to what you see on the surface, I chose to stand on your side back then, not because I was afraid of you Lu Yan, but because I was afraid of Steward Cheng, do you understand?"

Lu Yan's silhouette looked cold and hard, his eyebrows were cold, and the air pressure on his body couldn't be lower.

Of course he knew, Steward Cheng was actually the adopted son of the Cheng family, and the big family always liked to raise a lot of children for their own use, and Steward Cheng was only one of dozens of adopted sons, but he was the best, so he became the right-hand man of the head of the Cheng family.

Lu Yan's thin lips pursed into sharp blades, and the fingers on his knees curled up, and his joints were faintly pale.

Why didn't he remember the kindness? If he didn't remember the kindness, would the current Steward Cheng still have that kind of power and freedom?

No matter what Steward Cheng's purpose was in the beginning, he did save Lu Yan during the most dangerous period when Lu Yan just returned to the Cheng family, and he also blocked the gun on his shoulder.

But Lu Yan did it to Steward Cheng this time, not only because Steward Cheng had done those disgusting things in China, but also because Steward Cheng should not have raised Lu Shumu as the adopted son of the Cheng family for two whole years!

Steward Cheng is also like the previous housekeeper, adopted dozens of children and a few babies from all over the world, collective training, chaotic education, he even let the children fight, fight, scheming, and even unscrupulous, he follows the law of the jungle, favors natural selection, he only wants to leave the best and most scheming children among these children, so as to take his place.

Lu Yan's nails sank into the palm of his hand, and the pain made him have a brief lucidity.

The green tendons on his forehead floated and disappeared, back then, he had obviously seen that group of children, but he didn't notice it at all, the babies he thought had been induced were also mixed in those babies, and he and Shumu missed two full years because of this.

Steward Cheng should be glad that he has not lost his conscience, he is quite considerate to several babies, including Shumu, and has ordered people to take care of them carefully, and he himself takes care of Xiao Shumu himself from time to time. Later, Xiao Shumu was accidentally discovered by Shi Jiaran, Steward Cheng knew that Shi Jiaran liked Lu Yan, and he did not hesitate to make up lies in order to catch the line of the Shi family, and he said to Shi Jiaran——" Young Master Yan doesn't like the child's mother, and he doesn't like this child, and he doesn't even want it, in fact, Young Master Yan is also to take into account your feelings, after all, he and you are on a blind date, Miss Shi, if you care about this child, I will send this child away, you will treat it as if you haven't seen anything today, I will not let the existence of this child affect the relationship between you and Young Master Yan; 。 ”

Shi Jiaran's heart was soft, her heart was surging when she saw Lu Shumu's small appearance, how could she be disgusted with Lu Shumu? What's more, she already knew that Lu Yan was married when she was on a blind date, this child was Lu Yan had before she met her, that is, Lu Yan's past, she was a mature adult, naturally she wouldn't mind those pasts, what she could try her best to grasp was Lu Yan's future.

It is precisely because of this that Shi Jiaran played the role of Lu Shumu's mother for more than a year, taking care of Lu Shumu seriously, until more than half a year ago, Lu Shumu had a high fever, she couldn't hold back, and rushed into the castle angrily and cryingly to scold Lu Yan for having no conscience, and his own son was gone, if something happened to Lu Shumu, Lu Yan would be condemned by his conscience for a lifetime.

Lu Yan thought of this, and no longer wanted to listen to what Uncle Cheng said outside the window, he slowly raised the window, blocked Uncle Cheng, and coldly commanded the driver: "Let's drive, I will catch a plane later." ”

Third Uncle Cheng was so angry that his teeth itched: "Lu Yan, you will fall into my hands sooner or later! I will let you taste the feeling that life is better than death!"

The car restarted, and Cheng Sanshu's figure was no longer visible.

Lu Yan looked sideways, lowered his eyelids, and glanced at Lu Shumu in the safety seat.

He clearly remembered his mood when he knew that Lu Shumu was his son, and he had never doubted the possibility that Yan Yu was not his child in his belly, nor did he believe the rumors that Yan Yu made him like to be a father, so when he rushed back and learned that he had undergone labor induction surgery and the baby died, his heart hurt so much that it was about to explode, as if there were countless hands, tearing his heart fiercely.

The pain almost overshadowed his sanity.

The flames of anger burned in his chest, devouring everything, and the pain ran through his limbs, from his scalp to the tips of his toes.

When he learned that Lu Shumu was his and Yanyu's child, the pain hit again, almost making him faint in pain.

At that time, he tensed his teeth and lost his mind, turned his head and pulled Steward Cheng up, smashed his fist on Steward Cheng's abdomen, kicked him to the ground, grabbed his head and slammed it against the wall.

If it hadn't been for Shi Jiaran to stop him, he was afraid that he would have really disabled Steward Cheng.

That is, from that day on, he brought Lu Shumu to his side to take care of it.

But Lu Shumu, the child is precocious, not very close to people, quiet, and doesn't like to talk, Lu Yan is a little at a loss for him, and he doesn't know how to get along with him. The relationship between the two has not been very close.

So far, the only person who can make Lu Shumu a little happy is Shi Jiaran, and Lu Shumu will only be by Shi Jiaran's side, and he will show a little joy that belongs to a child.

*

After a long flight of ten hours, the plane finally landed in China.

An hour later, Lu Yan and Lu Shumu arrived at Lu's house.

Lu Shumu has never been to China, let alone the Lu family, but he does not squint, does not have the slightest curiosity about the changes in the surrounding environment, and has a small face.

Lu Yan led him into the villa.

Lu Chengguo and Zhou Yun have heard of Lu Shumu's existence, the older Lu Chengguo gets, the more he likes his grandchildren, his body is still tough, he has also fallen in love with fitness in the past three years, and he looks younger and younger, but occasionally he misses the little star, and he also wants to hug his grandson.

He looked at Lu Shumu kindly and said with a smile: "This is Shumu, come, grandpa hug you." ”

Lu Yan touched Lu Shumu's head and motioned for him to come over.

Lu Shumu was expressionless and motionless.

Zhou Yun's feelings for Lu Shumu were very complicated, she simply didn't take the initiative to show favor to Lu Shumu, didn't say anything, just sat quietly and looked at Lu Yan with a smile.

But gradually, there were tears in her eyes.

She hadn't seen Lu Yan for three years, Lu Yan had only met Chengguo in the past few years, but she had never met her, she complained, got angry, and said where is such a son in the world?! But this time, her complaints are useless, and even Chengguo, who has always doted on her, refuses to speak for her.

Zhou Yun was really aggrieved, and now that she suddenly saw Lu Yan, her nose was sour, and she couldn't control it.

Lu Yan saw that Lu Shumu was unwilling, and he did not force Lu Shumu.

After dinner, Lu Chengguo asked Lu Yan to go to the study to talk about things, Lu Yan glanced at Lu Shumu who was watching TV, but Lu Shumu rarely spoke: "You go." ”

Lu Yanfei's thin lips raised a thin arc, her eyebrows moved slightly, and she walked to the second floor.

In the living room, only Zhou Yun and Lu Shumu were left, Zhou Yun was a little awkward, but she still poured a glass of milk for Lu Shumu, and Lu Shumu ignored her.

Zhou Yun was displeased, she was quiet for a while, and suddenly asked, "...... you Where's Mom?"

Lu Shumu's gaze when he watched TV paused slightly, and he actually ignored Zhou Yun: "In the UK." ”

"Britain?" Zhou Yun's eyebrows jumped heavily, her heart hung up, and the speed of beating was a little fast, she hadn't heard that Lu Yan and Yan Yu had reconciled! What's more, when it was like that, she didn't believe that she could get back together!

“…… Who's your mother?"

Lu Shumu pursed his lower lip, and his thick and slender eyelashes had a small shadow under his eye sockets: "Shi Jiaran." ”

"Shi Jiaran ......"

Zhou Yun subconsciously repeated it, and found that she didn't know her at all, but she was subconsciously relieved.

It's not just words.

After Lu Yan and Lu Chengguo finished talking about things, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, he asked Lu Shumu to rest first and adjust the jet lag, he went out of Lu Shumu's bedroom and saw Zhou Yun, Lu Yan called out to her: "Mom." ”

Zhou Yun was wearing a mask, her two white hands kept rubbing, she was taking care of her hands, she didn't answer, she just raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Lu Yan.

Lu Yan pursed his lips: "Mom, I hope you don't doubt Shumu's background anymore, he is my child." ”

Zhou Yun took off the mask and tightened the corners of his lips: "Do you blame me for being suspicious?" She softened her tone and clasped her hands tightly, "I told you, I don't like words, I still have those words, she loves Cheng Ci, so why should she marry you? She is simply ill-intentioned! What other good girl, good wife, will be so ambiguous as other men, do you really believe that she has no close relationship with that lawyer Qin?"

The lines of Lu Yan's cheeks became more and more cold and hard, and his heart was like a piece of flesh that had been gnawed away by something.

"Ah Yan, it was an accident that the child survived back then, who would have thought that he would survive and be taken away by Steward Cheng! Three years ago, there was chaos, I always thought that the child was gone!"

"Do you think I forced Yan Yu to induce labor?" Zhou Yun bit her lower lip, her eyes turned a little red, "I said it, Yan Yu didn't want this child at all, she wanted to hurt the child in her belly several times, you put away all the tools that could hurt the child, but that time, she deliberately rolled down the stairs, just to not have a child, she shed a lot of blood, she was ruthless, so the child in her belly couldn't be saved at all, and it would endanger Yanyu's life, so I chose to induce labor!"

"Ah Yan, do you understand? Yan is really not a good match! Her heart is too big, and she doesn't want that child at all, isn't it beautiful that you are separated like you are now? I heard that you have found a new girlfriend, her name is Shi Jiaran, is she? When will you bring it back to your mother?"

Hearing what Zhou Yun said, the unfathomable cold whirlpool under Lu Yan's eyes blew a cold wind little by little, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped by a few degrees, and he stared at Zhou Yun a little coldly.

Until Zhou Yun's face turned pale.

Without saying a word, he left and returned to his bedroom.

Zhou Yun's palms were wet, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth, her nose was sore, and she was almost so angry that she cried again, how did she raise such a strange son? Lu Yan was not like this before, it was only after marrying Yan Yu that he became like this.

*

After celebrating Qin Nanfeng's birthday, he returned to Leeds to continue working.

A lawyer specializing in international economic law suddenly needed another lawyer to join, and he had an urgent case in his hands.

He searched around, and finally found the metaphor.

Yan Yu wanted to refuse politely, but this lawyer Mike helped Yan Yu a lot, and Yan Yu hesitated for a while but agreed.

The reason for her hesitation was that Mike's case required a business trip to China.

Mike said: "Yan, you are Chinese, you must know Chinese, please." ”

This case is about the infringement of intellectual property rights involved in the sale of international contracts, and it is said that as the party sued for infringement, and the party suing for infringement is ...... Lu's Group.

Yan Yu pursed her red lips, her eyes deepened a little, her breathing subconsciously stagnated, and she squeezed the thin paper: "...... Who is the current head of the Lu Group?"

Mike furrowed his brows, flipped through the file, and slowly read out the homonym: "Chengguo...... Lu?"

Hearing this, Yan Yu's fingers slowly loosened a little.

That's right, Lu Yan should be in the Cheng family, in the past few years, she has not taken the initiative to care about Lu Yan, but it is still inevitable to hear news related to Lu Yan, the new head of the Cheng family is resolute, and the family head and the daughter of the Shi family are about to ......

She curled her lips, leaving superfluous distractions behind, and since she had agreed, she would do the job well.

*

Most of the business of Chinese is inseparable from the wine table, and it is also inseparable from the clubhouse to play.

The Lu Group's infringement lawsuit this time is not simply to seek compensation, but more importantly, to set up a target, so that others can see the importance that the Lu Group attaches to patent rights, so they directly rejected the lawyer's settlement request and wanted to see them in court, but for the defendant, of course, the settlement is the first.

Mike and Yan Yu sent several invitations to the Lu Group, but they did not respond.

On this day, Mike gave Yan Yu an invitation letter: "The Lu Group will send the person in charge to attend this banquet, and we will also go to see it, maybe we can make a breakthrough." ”

This banquet is a charity dinner held by a fashionable female demon king in the circle, and it can be regarded as a large-scale banquet in the circle.

Yu Yu went for work, but she wore a black wrap skirt with shaved shoulders, which was simple, but perfectly set off her figure.

It's just that she didn't expect to meet Lu Yan here.
