In Lu's living room.

Mrs. Lu brought the freshly brewed tea to the old man and said in a gentle tone, "Don't be angry when Chengze comes back later. If you have anything to say, talk to him."

"After all, the child grew up in an orphanage. We are not close, and it would be bad if we got separated from each other."

Lu Chengze at the door paused when he heard Mrs. Lu's words, and then stepped in firmly.

Hearing the footsteps, several people in the room looked up.

The smile on Mrs. Lu's face remained unchanged, her eyes were cold.

Mr. Lu's face was expressionless, showing no emotion.

Only the youngest Lu Jingyi put down the mobile phone in her hand and raised her eyes to look at Lu Chengze.

The clothes on his body were scratched by Mother Liu, and before he had time to change, the wounds on his face were red and swollen, making him look particularly embarrassed.

Although I have watched the recording of the live broadcast countless times, it is still a bit refreshing to see Lu Chengze in such an embarrassing state face to face.

Lu Jingyi's delicately traced eyebrows were raised, her voice rose, and she was full of sarcasm, "Hey, brother, has a new look?"

Her eyes scanned up and down wantonly, "Is this, the beggar costume is back in fashion?"

After she finished speaking, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Look at me, after a trip abroad, I don't even know what's popular in Beijing when I come back, but my brother's taste is really special."

The daughter of the Jian family doesn't like it, but she likes things like Liu Yiyi.

Why doesn't it taste special?

Her words of "special taste" mean a lot.

In the past, even if Mr. Lu was partial to Lu Chengyuan and Lu Jingyi, he would not allow Lu Jingyi to be so presumptuous in front of Lu Chengze.

Today, I just sat aside and watched coldly.

Mrs. Lu glared at her daughter angrily, "Jingyi, don't talk nonsense."

Lu Jingyi boredly arranged the ends of her delicate hair, smiling innocently, but she kept saying things that made Lu Chengze die.

"Mom, what are you afraid of?"

"My eldest brother's fiancée ran away, his project failed, and he was bitten by the adopted canary. It's okay. These few words of mine are nothing more than drizzle to others."

After she finished speaking, she even He blinked at Lu Chengze provocatively, the silver glitter eyeshadow at the end of his eyes shining brilliantly.

Playful and cute.

Lu Chengze glanced at her coldly, looked past her at the unmoving old man, and finally lowered his noble head.

"Father."

Mr. Lu raised his eyes and fixed his scrutinizing gaze on his scratched face. He made sure that the wound was not deep and would not leave scars before he looked away and said in a calm voice.

"Kneel down."

Mr. Lu actually made his fortune halfway through Mrs. Lu, and his family's background is not deep.

But precisely because of this, he is extremely respectable, and his family has very strict rules. It is common for children at home to be punished by kneeling down when they make mistakes.

But as adults, in order to protect the face of the children, they would dismiss the servants in the room in advance when they were punished by kneeling.

Today, the old man seems to have forgotten. The kind Mrs. Lu only focused on massaging the old man and didn't seem to notice.

As for Lu Jingyi, it is already taboo for her not to take a cell phone to take a picture and watch it again and again, let alone speak for Lu Chengze.

Lu Chengze stood alone in the center of the living room, like a prisoner being interrogated by three courts.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his hands tightly at his sides, and his rounded nails left red marks on his palms.

Lu Chengze took a deep breath, feeling unwilling to do so, but he could only kneel down obediently.

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

Mr. Lu said with a sneer, "Wrong question."

"I should ask you if you can still count how many mistakes you have made!"

Lu Chengze lowered his head and trembled.

Mr. Lu sneered, "Chengze, you should know why I value you. You have always been steady. Why did you get confused at the most critical moment?"

Everyone secretly said that he was a softie, but he was a softie. Is the rice really that delicious?

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Mr. Lu's eyes.

"If you had just endured it and endured it until you married Jian Yao, how could you have ended up like this? You would have also brought trouble to the company!"

Lu Chengze had a hangover last night, and he has been struggling until now. Feeling dizzy, he still raised his head and looked directly into Mr. Lu's eyes.

"Then what does father think I should do?"

"Kowtow to Jian Yao? Coax her to marry me, annex the Jian family, and contribute to the Lu family's career?"

Lu Chengze smiled and said every word, "I It's not that despicable!"

He didn't know what other people thought of the relationship between him and Jian Yao, but he could swear to heaven that he and Jian Yao were never together because of the Jian family's property.

He admitted that he had taken the wrong path when dealing with Jian Yao, and he deserved to be in this situation because of his unclear understanding of people.

But he really likes Jian Yao and uses Liu Yiyi to stimulate her. He does have an inferiority complex and wants Jian Yao to be more submissive to satisfy his own pride.

But in his feelings for Jian Yao, he had never asked her to help because of personal interests. He just felt that the two of them would be a family sooner or later, regardless of each other.

Mr. Lu was so stung by his words that he almost lost his breath. He raised his hand and picked up the cup on the table and threw it at Lu Chengze.

"You traitor!"

The yin and yang has come to bear on my father!

The porcelain cup hit Lu Chengze's head, then fell to the ground and shattered. Tea leaves mixed with tea flowed down his face.

The hot water eroded the wounds on his face, causing bursts of burning pain.

However, Lu Chengze did not blink, his eyes swept across the faces of the people present, and continued, "I know, I have never been welcome in this family."

He held the title of eldest young master, and in fact he was not even the butler. Dare to show his face.

Rather than saying that he is the eldest young master of the Lu family, it is better to say that he is the tool used by Mr. Lu to embezzle the Jian family's property.

Lu Chengze took a deep breath, "Li's side, I have already obtained the loan contract, and I will repay the money myself. What happened in the company is that I hired the wrong person. You can put all the blame on me." Come on, I have nothing to say."

He raised his hand to wipe the tea leaves from his face and stood up with his hands on the ground. "You can do whatever you want. I only have one request."

"Leave the Lu family."

He said with a sullen face. His expression was serious and his tone was firm.

The words fell to the ground.

Mrs. Lu, who had been serving as the background, suddenly raised her head and narrowed her eyes to carefully observe Lu Chengze's expression, as if to confirm whether he was serious or whether to retreat in order to advance.

Lu Jingyi, who was busy applying lipstick, raised her head in surprise and looked at Lu Chengze with a more pensive look.

Only Mr. Lu narrowed his eyes, and a fierce look flashed through his eyes, "You want to leave the Lu family?"

"Who do you think you are? Without the Lu family, you are nothing!"

Will he repay the loan?

That's easy to say.

What to give in return? Take his scratched-up face?

Do you think there will be a second Jian Yao who is so determined to help him without hesitation?

Lu Chengze opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Lu Chengyuan hurriedly came in from outside, his expression extremely grim.

"Dad, something happened to the company!"
