Quick Wear: The Cold Beauty's Sickly Husband is Super Clingy
Chapter 321: The Unruly Young Marshal x the Beautiful Stepmother 01
The fifteenth year of the Republic of China.
Known as the 'Pearl of the Far East', the Magic City became a popular destination at that time.
Chinese and foreigners coexist, and the population is complex.
This has created a scene of fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, where different cultures collide with each other and products from both China and the West converge.
Traditional opera and Western movies...
Chinese gowns and suits...
Rickshaws and four-wheelers, trams...
But the Magic City is not all bright and beautiful, there is also countless darkness and cruelty.
Some are dressed in fine clothes, while others are naked.
Behind this prosperous city lies a dark side that is the opposite of the light, half prosperous and half defeated.
Bai Yu's family in this life is one of the remaining forces of the old-style aristocracy.
The Lu family used to be a family of officials in the late Qing Dynasty, but they gradually declined with the passage of history.
But the Lu family's assets were still there, so Mr. Lu moved from the city of Beiping to the Magic City in the south and never returned to the former dynasty's capital.
People often say: The foreign concessions are a land of fireworks, and Shanghai is where the storms come.
There are many opportunities in Shanghai and the development prospects are good.
Mr. Lu gradually established himself here and accumulated a huge fortune, transforming himself from a third-rank court official into a well-known wealthy businessman in the local area.
Mr. Lu has only one son, and this is the identity that Bai Yu is using this time.
The eldest son of the Lu family——Lu Mingxiao.
As the only son of the Lu family, Lu Mingxiao received a civil servant education of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism before the age of ten. It was his responsibility to protect the peace of the people of the world. However, when he was ten years old, he was suddenly faced with the situation of the destruction of his country.
The old dynasty fell, and the country he was loyal to was gone.
He fell into unprecedented confusion. The boy, who had been taught to be loyal to the emperor and defend his country since childhood, had lost his direction.
He followed his father in a daze, leaving his hometown and settling in the unfamiliar south.
He once asked his father if he wanted to start over again.
But Mr. Lu said, "The building has collapsed. In troubled times, saving your life is the most important thing."
Lu Mingxiao, who was only ten years old, immediately understood that his father had completely lost his former fighting spirit and only wanted to live the rest of his life as a rich man.
He didn't want to blame his father, but he was unwilling to bury his future in money.
Lu Mingxiao grows up while observing the current situation.
The feudal empire of the past could never rise again, and he completely gave up the idea of restoring his country.
But the new government still failed to revitalize the country and get it out of its dark and difficult situation.
He watched various revolutions emerge, but none of them brought the distressed China into light, and the young man became more and more desperate.
The older Lu Mingxiao gets, the sadder he becomes.
He didn't know what he could do, nor did he know what the future of the country would be.
He could only learn business according to his father's arrangement and develop in the direction of a businessman.
But when he was eighteen years old, he saw the dawn, which was the future of the entire China.
A new political party came into being.
The "sleeping lion" of the Chinese nation has finally been awakened by the times and the people.
Young people with ambition began to follow the light, reconstructing grand historical dreams, striving to break free from historical misfortunes and catch up with the trend of the times in great strides.
Countless people began to struggle and sacrifice...
Lu Mingxiao was gradually attracted by them, and the questions that had been confusing him for a long time were answered.
He also wanted to contribute to the revolution.
When Lu Mingxiao, who was only eighteen years old, ran away after leaving a letter, he was kidnapped and brought back by his father before he could devote himself to the revolutionary cause.
Lu Mingxiao was thrown into the ancestral hall and kneeled for three days, but he still refused to give up his ambition to serve his country, which made Old Master Lu so angry that he punished him with family rules for the first time.
He almost had his legs broken by Mr. Lu.
Even so, as stubborn as he was, he refused to give in. Lu Mingxiao kept clamoring to leave home and his wealthy hometown to realize his ambitions.
"I will never regret dedicating my life to my country even if I die."
Mr. Lu naturally didn't want the only son left to him by his late wife to commit suicide, so he sent someone to send Lu Mingxiao to study in Ying Country.
His original intention was to let his son go abroad to calm down.
But Lu Mingxiao always wanted to return to China, and even changed the business school he had arranged for him to attend to a polytechnic college, just to go against him.
Although Mr. Lu was helpless, he just wanted his son to be safe.
Because of his son's troubles, he specially assigned someone to look after Lu Mingxiao to prevent his son from sneaking back to the country and doing something risky again.
Lu Mingxiao could only study hard.
After he returned from studying abroad, the young master began to sneak out again.
But the people arranged by his father followed him every day, greatly limiting his ability to move.
But he still didn't give up.
However, Mr. Lu knew his son too well, and Lu Mingxiao's attempts to escape always ended in failure, which made him fall into new confusion.
He is like the Monkey King who can't get out of the Five Finger Mountain of Buddha. No matter how much he jumps, he can't escape the clutches of his father.
Lu Mingxiao became more depressed by the failure.
He gradually began to take extreme measures, trying to get his old father to let him go through his absurd and extravagant behavior, but unfortunately Mr. Lu didn't buy it.
He tried for two years but it didn't work.
So Lu Mingxiao, the eldest son of the Lu family, began to squander money like crazy, idled around every day, did not work, and even started to stay away from home. He either stayed in hotels or other properties all day long.
Lu Mingxiao often gets himself in the newspapers.
He had countless romantic affairs and wasteful behaviors, but Mr. Lu didn't bother to care about him.
Mr. Lu is not afraid that his son will ruin the family business, he just doesn’t want his son to get involved with those dangerous elements. Haven’t you seen how many people have died over the years!
He is the only child of his generation, and he cannot sacrifice his life for a group of people who are not sure whether the reform can be successful. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of his deceased wife?
After all, his son was a bit naughty, but no major scandal was reported.
The father and son were in a stalemate.
After accepting the original owner's memories, Bai Yu sighed silently, feeling deeply helpless for the current era and the countless fathers and sons in this era.
The elders no longer have the passion of their youth, but their sons are still as enthusiastic as they were when they were young, unwilling to admit defeat and not afraid of hardship.
Mr. Lu wanted his son to avoid disaster and live a peaceful life.
He didn't want Lu Mingxiao to be in danger.
But Lu Mingxiao, like Grandpa Lu when he was young, has a pure heart and is obsessed with changing the land under his feet.
Bai Yu recalled the ridiculous things the original owner had done, and couldn't help but sigh that the original owner was too upright.
Lu Mingxiao seemed to be a playboy and flirtatious, and had lots of romantic debts all over the Magic City, but he had never really been with anyone. At most, he would just invite people out for drinks.
Mainly focusing on the behavior of a prodigal son.
He was just protesting to his father and wanted his father to support his decision.
But he didn't really want to ruin other people's future.
No matter who he has a scandal with, Lu Mingxiao will take the responsibility on himself.
There were even some real playboys who dumped their own romantic debts on Lu Mingxiao to let him take the blame, and Lu Mingxiao accepted them all.
He was obviously trying to ruin his own reputation in order to force Mr. Lu to compromise, but unfortunately his father had already seen through his actions.
Lu Mingxiao seems unruly, but he still does things with the character of a scholar and the demeanor of a gentleman. This is a trait engraved in his bones.
After all, the education he received since childhood prevented this young man from doing anything that goes against his conscience and principles.
Bai Yu twisted his fingertips and said, "Humans are really self-contradictory~"
System 8023: [Host, your mission in this world is to go to Moyu Theater in two days and complete the role that belonged to the original owner.]
Bai Yu continued to accept the world's plot.
To put it simply, it is the legendary love story between Boss Wen, the most popular actor in Moyu Theater, and the second young master of the Zheng family in Shanghai.
The two met because of a play and gradually got to know each other.
Wen Qian guarded Liyuan opera in troubled times and revitalized Peking opera which had been hit by the war.
He developed opera culture in Shanghai and trained a group of outstanding opera talents.
Zheng Yanli was originally just a kid from a wealthy family, but later when the domestic situation changed dramatically, he resolutely joined the revolutionary ranks.
One inherits art, the other sacrifices his life to save the country.
In the end, the two understood and respected each other and joined hands to fight against the invaders.
They are companions and lovers.
Lu Mingxiao plays the role of a tool that facilitates the acquaintance of the two male protagonists.
Because of Lu Mingxiao's intervention, these two originally unrelated people were able to meet each other, and later on, they fell in love with each other.
However, Lu Mingxiao disappeared before Bai Yu came over, his self-consciousness turned into nothingness, leaving only an empty shell, and was unable to advance the plot at all.
This also caused bugs in this world.
Bai Yu nodded slightly, "I understand. I will show up when the time comes."
It's just a plot, and that's it.
He should first think about how to resolve his current romantic situation!
Otherwise, when the jealous person in his family shows up, he’ll poke a hole in the sky.

PS: Starting from the next chapter, Bai Yu will call Lu Mingxiao.
