Chapter 88 There is love, but not much...
Lu Huanchu did not return to his residence, nor did he go to find Mu Chaosheng, but went straight back to the Lu family.
Unlike the Mu family’s modern manor, the Lu family’s is a Chinese-style manor.
The vermilion gate is majestic and imposing, and every scene and object in the garden indicates the status and financial strength of the manor owner.
This Chinese-style manor is a masterpiece that integrates ancient culture and was once featured in Time Architecture magazine.
But in Lu Huanchu's eyes, the owner of this manor - his father Lu Lu Fengshi, is a man who embodies all the evils of feudalism!
The coexistence of essence and dregs is enough to foresee the "absurd" stories that have happened in this manor.
As the head of the Lu family, all the Lu brothers and sisters were bound by his despotism, tyranny and stubbornness in this narrow yet vast Lu family mansion.
Here, he would never allow anyone to challenge his authority.
Even if there had been such signs before, they were nipped in the bud by his strong means.
There are many children in the Lu family, and except for his sister who lives far away abroad, no one has been able to escape his control so far.
Of course, her sister also lost the opportunity to return here.
However, Lu Huanchu felt that his sister would not feel any regret, but would be glad that she had lost the "Lu family admission ticket" that made his father so proud.
If one must evaluate his father from a positive perspective, it is that he plans a life path for everyone here so that they have a way to go.
The gratifying and sad thing is that everyone here is indeed walking on the path he carefully planned for them, and no one has deviated, including himself.
When he was studying, he often had a feeling that he was not his father's son, but a perfect work of his father's hands.
Now he no longer has such tangled emotions, and is clearly aware of a fact:
He is not qualified to be a perfect work in his father's hands, but he can be infinitely close to his ideal perfect work.
When he realized this fact, he felt even more pathetic.
Fortunately, he was encouraged by his good friend Xing Jian and strengthened his determination to study medicine.
Practicing medicine made him feel that being a puppet was not so pathetic. At least it added many unexpected surprises and meanings to his life.
In the past, he always felt very depressed when facing this vermilion door, but now when facing this vermilion door, he no longer felt anything.
The vermilion door slowly opened, and he pulled the suitcase and walked in with firm steps.
Uncle Fang, the housekeeper, took over Lu Huanchu's luggage and was about to ask him if he had any instructions, but Lu Huanchu asked first:
"Uncle Fang, is he here?"
Except on important occasions that required formality, Lu Huanchu always referred to his father as "he", and Uncle Fang immediately understood that he was asking about the old gentleman.
"The old gentleman is in the drawing-room."
"Are there any guests today?"
His father rarely invited guests to his home because this home was his territory.
Anyone who can come in here is someone he accepts and recognizes from the bottom of his heart, otherwise it would be an invasion of his territory.
If he invited a guest here, it means that this is an extremely important guest.
Besides that, there is another possibility that he is in the living room right now...
Uncle Fang shook his head and said, "There are no guests today. The old man is discussing matters with Miss Tianqing in the living room."
Sure enough...
Lu Huanchu showed a knowing smile on his face.
In fact, the reception room here receives very few guests. Its main function is to be the place where the head of the Lu family gives lectures to the children of the Lu family.
"Uncle Fang, please leave my luggage at the guard post. I will be leaving soon."
"Master, it's rare for you to come back, why don't you stay for a day?"
According to Uncle Fang's identity, he shouldn't ask this question, but in this family, he can say this to Lu Huanchu, and he can only say it to him and only to him.
"Uncle Fang, it's not that I don't want to, but someone doesn't want to."
Lu Huanchu's tone was meaningful, and the smile on his face was even more subtle.
Based on Uncle Fang's understanding of Lu Huanchu's character, he had a vague premonition that the garden would become restless again.
When Lu Huanchu walked into the reception room, Lu Fengshi's attitude was condescending, but his words were full of earnest instructions and sincere suggestions.
In Lu Huanchu's eyes, this scene was very funny.
But it was different for Lu Tianqing.
I saw that her little head, which usually held high, was now almost drooping to the ground.
If there was a crack in the floor, she would squeeze in without hesitation.
When Lu Fengshi saw Lu Huanchu, he was not surprised at all, because he knew that Lu Huanchu would come back today when he chatted with Ye Chengci.
No matter what, he would definitely have to deal with work, and his son would definitely go home after he returned.
This time he was quite well behaved and went straight home.
Although Lu Fengshi saw Lu Huanchu, he did not say a word. He just gave him a look, indicating that Lu Huanchu should sit aside for the time being.
Like father, like son. Lu Huanchu not only didn't say a word, he didn't even nod, and just sat down.
When Lu Tianqing saw Lu Huanchu, he was like a drowning man grabbing a straw!
No, not straw, Lu Huanchu can definitely be called a piece of driftwood!
Her eyes were filled with: Brother, save me! !
Lu Huanchu deliberately smiled, glanced at Lu Tianqing, and then looked away.
Lu Tianqing made faces and small movements all the time. If she wasn't afraid to be too presumptuous, she would have fallen to her knees and begged her brother to save her.
Lu Fengshi's words gradually changed from the initial calm suggestions to sharp criticism, with a blunt and strong tone.
Seeing that Lu Tianqing was about to be unable to hold on, Lu Huanchu said:
"Normally, I make all of Xiaoqing's decisions and she carries them out. All her mistakes are my fault as the decision-maker. Your approach of neglecting the main point and pursuing the minor is neither wise nor sensible."
Lu Fengshi was very dissatisfied with Lu Huanchu's indiscriminate protection of his shortcomings.
"She blindly trusts others and doesn't even have the most basic judgment. That's even more problematic for her!"
"What kind of judgment does a puppet need, do you think?"
Lu Tianqing widened his eyes in horror when he heard this. After taking a look at his uncle's gloomy face, he signaled Lu Huanchu to shut up.
She knew that her brother wanted to divert his uncle's anger to himself to free her, but this approach was really too much!
This is tantamount to pointing at one's uncle and blaming him for something else!
Lu Fengshi's face turned blue, white, and red, and his deep eyes looked a little bloody.
Lu Tianqing lowered his head and trembled.
"Tianqing, you go out first."
When Lu Tianqing heard this, he was as excited as a death row prisoner who had been pardoned.
But after a brief moment of relief, her heart was filled with worry about Lu Huanchu.
Because the tone her uncle used when speaking to her just now was so cold and terrifying.
It seemed that as soon as she went out, her uncle would close the door and beat her brother up the next second.
If she had known her brother was talking so crazy, she wouldn't have asked for help!
Her brother was not like this before, why is he so impulsive today?
Lu Tianqing was extremely worried and scared. When his uncle got angry, he was extremely scary and could even kill people!
She hesitated and refused to leave.
Seeing that Lu Tianqing was hesitant, Lu Fengshi became even more dissatisfied. He just made a light grunt and frightened Lu Tianqing so much that he trembled.
Lu Huanchu felt a little warm in his heart when he saw Lu Tianqing, who was extremely scared but still stubbornly refused to move.
He smiled at her and waved his hand casually, signaling her not to worry and go out quickly.
Lu Tianqing felt relieved when he saw that his brother was in control of the situation and was able to handle it with ease.
He cautiously retreated a few steps, turned around and walked a few steps, then suddenly rushed out like a fleeing rabbit.
The smile on Lu Huanchu's face froze: Brothers and sisters have love, but not much...
