Chapter 149 The Gentle Man of the Romantic Young Master 05
Although Lu Zhinian has been influenced by new ideas, he is still somewhat conservative at heart.
He firmly disagreed with his youngest son's approach, but he was unable to stop Lu Huaiyuan from leaving.
Thinking of these two "wrongly raised" sons, Lu Zhinian often sighed.
He thought that he had a well-behaved daughter who could comfort him as an old father, but he did not expect that the other party's marriage would be full of twists and turns.
She published a divorce notice in the newspaper, broke off relations with her husband's family, and even experienced a drastic change in her personality after the divorce...
And his gentle and well-behaved little daughter also became the confident and outspoken Mr. Mu.
This really had a huge impact on Lu Zhinian's heart as an old father.
However, although he is somewhat conservative in his thinking, he will not impose any obstacles on his children as long as it does not involve bottom line issues.
But when he woke up in the middle of the night, Lu Zhinian always couldn't help feeling melancholy.
He has been honest and upright all his life, but he raised three such clever and cunning children. How can one not sigh?
Whenever Lu Zhinian thought of this, he felt bad.
What’s even more unfortunate is that the Lu family’s hundreds of years of business may have no one to inherit.
-----------------
After dinner, Lu Huaiyuan didn't rush back to his room.
He sat in the living room, flipped through the newspaper, and got a brief understanding of current affairs.
In troubled times, warlords are fighting for power and power is alternating. No one knows who will be the real winner in the end.
Amidst the flames of war, the people were struggling to survive in the cracks, living a life of uncertainty from today to tomorrow.
They long for a peaceful life, but they don't know when this peace will come.
Lu Huaiyuan lowered his eyes slightly and couldn't help but sigh.
When Lu Xiangyi came over with a glass of milk, she saw that he had a slightly frowned brow and looked a little melancholy.
"Why did you think of reading the newspaper? Are you bored?"
She sat down next to Lu Huaiyuan and handed him the cup.
Lu Huaiyuan put down the newspaper and reached out to take it: "Nothing, just taking a look."
Lu Xiangyi thought he was embarrassed to say it, so she said, "If you really feel bored, I have a few books that I can give you to help you pass the time."
"However, it's best for you to stay home during this period. You look so thin now, just skin and bones. Let Sister Liu cook you something delicious at home to nourish your body."
Lu Huaiyuan: "Yes, I understand, big sister."
Hearing this, Lu Xiangyi looked at him suspiciously: "Why are you so obedient today? Are you up to something again?"
Lu Huaiyuan was helpless: "Sister, how can you say that? Isn't it good enough for me to be obedient?"
Lu Xiangyi looked at him but didn't say anything.
But the look clearly meant: I'll just watch you perform quietly!
Lu Huaiyuan pulled a fake smile at the corner of his mouth and was about to say something else when he heard Lu Xiangyi say again: "By the way, there will be a lecture in our school in a while. I have reserved a seat for you. Come with me to listen."
Lu Huaiyuan was stunned for a moment, then declined, "Sister, forget about this lecture. You just said I'm not in good health and it's not suitable for me to go out."
Lu Xiangyi: "It's okay. There's still some time before the lecture. Eat more and get more sleep. I believe you can get better."
Lu Huaiyuan: “…”
No, I can not!
He did not want!
Lu Xiangyi glanced at him and added, "The speaker this time is Mr. Liu Shang. Many people come here to hear his reputation. Would you mind going and listening?"
Lu Huaiyuan was puzzled: "Mr. Liushang?"
Lu Xiangyi: "Yes! Let me tell you, Mr. Liushang is a great writer, his works..."
In the following time, Lu Huaiyuan regretted deeply that he had asked such a question.
Because Lu Xiangyi pulled him aside and talked for more than half an hour about how great Mr. Liushang was, what his works were, what they contained, etc.
In the end, Lu Huaiyuan only summed it up in one sentence.
Mr. Liushang was a truly remarkable man, a great literary figure in the literary world. He didn't produce many works, but he was always highly sought after. Among them, Lu Xiangyi was a particular admirer of him!
Lu Huaiyuan had a wooden face, drank two sips of milk silently, and listened to Lu Xiangyi talking.
"Xiao Yuan, don't you think he is very powerful?" There were little stars in her eyes and a hint of pride on her face.
Lu Huaiyuan didn't quite understand, but he still agreed: "Yeah, yes, I think so too."
"He's truly remarkable for what he's achieved." To prevent Lu Xiangyi from continuing to recount his story, he changed the subject, "I heard he's a professor at your school?"
"Yes." Lu Xiangyi smiled shyly, a rare moment. "After returning from his overseas studies, he was invited to become a professor at our university. I'm excited to be able to work with him now."
Lu Huaiyuan curled his lips slightly and was about to speak when he heard her say again: "By the way, this 'Liushang' is just his pen name. In real life, Mr. Rong Jingyan."
"He was the one who saved you and sent you back to the Lu family. He also said that you were the editor assigned to him by the newspaper, so Xiao Yuan, how come you don't know his pen name?"
She looked at the person next to her with a slightly confused expression.
Lu Huaiyuan didn't expect this to happen, and he was stunned.
Ah this!
Wait for me to edit it for you!
Ah, no, let me explain it to you!
He was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "If I say that I didn't pay attention to his pen name and forgot it after hearing it, would you believe it?"
He blinked his eyes, and his face showed, I'm innocent!
Lu Xiangyi: "..."
Although this reason sounds far-fetched, it seems quite reasonable when applied to her brother.
Lu Xiangyi rolled her eyes silently and reached out to flick Lu Huaiyuan's scalp.
"When will you be able to change your lazy habit?" She said, and wanted to pull Lu Huaiyuan's ear again.
But considering the other party's current situation, she finally couldn't bear to do it.
Lu Xiangyi: "When you were in school, you were always absent-minded. Later, you followed your group of friends and stayed away from home all day, but we didn't say anything."
She actually wanted to say "bad company", but seeing Lu Huaiyuan's expression, she finally changed her words.
Lu Xiangyi looked at him and continued, "But you begged Big Brother to get you a job at the newspaper, and you didn't do your job well! Lu Xiaoyuan, do you really want to be beaten again?"
Hearing this, Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help but shrink his neck: "No, I don't want to."
Seeing him acting like a quail, Lu Xiangyi felt both angry and amused.
She reached out and poked him on the forehead: "You always pretend to be good and stupid, but you never change. It's really infuriating!"
Lu Huaiyuan touched his forehead and said, "Sister, please believe me, I really won't do it again."
"You'd better keep your word." Lu Xiangyi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Lu Xiaoyuan, if you make a mistake again next time, I'll go complain to my father and see if he punishes you!"
Lu Huaiyuan sighed: "Sister, you have such a cruel heart!"
Lu Xiangyi snorted lightly and turned her head away with a bit of arrogance.
Lu Huaiyuan smiled and drank the milk in the cup in one gulp.
The two of them didn't say anything else, got up and went back to their rooms.
