Male supporting character in a book: Aren’t we brothers?

Lu Zhi landed in Beijing late at night. As soon as he left the airport, the things he had asked someone to check were sent to his mobile phone.

He clicked on the files one by one, his face growing darker.

"Call the housekeeper and ask the lady to wait for me at home."

The co-pilot's assistant responded and immediately took out his phone to do so.

There was still a dark complexion under Lu Zhi's eyes, and the faint smile that usually appeared at the corner of his lips had disappeared, and his expression was cold.

He looked at the message on his phone and frowned slightly.

He will not let go of anyone who told Lu's mother about Tang Fei.

He would no longer be good-tempered and indulgent towards Mother Lu.

But how can he make Feifei believe him?

Feifei already knows that her mother doesn't want him to find a boyfriend. Even if she explains clearly that he has never had the intention of dating anyone else, will Feifei use the excuse that his mother doesn't want him to find a boyfriend to reject him?

Feifei is so sensitive and kind, the probability of this happening is too high, so he has to think of other ways.

After thinking for a long time without any clue, he changed his sitting position and looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside the window.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately opened his phone and sent a message to a contact.

It takes an hour and a half from the airport to the Lu family's house. It was already past twelve o'clock when Lu Zhi entered the house.

The lights in the Lu family's house were still on, and Lu's mother was waiting for him in the living room.

All the servants had gone down to rest, and now there were only the two of them in the entire luxurious and bright living room. Mother Lu stood up as soon as she saw Lu Zhi.

"Xiao Zhi, it's so late, is there anything else you want to tell your mother..."

Lu Zhi looked straight at her, without showing the gentle smile he usually gave her. His expression was even very serious. Mother Lu could not continue speaking.

Mother Lu couldn't even keep her smile. Her inner uneasiness became more and more obvious, and a sense of panic spread throughout her body.

Lu Zhi didn't want to beat around the bush with her, so he spoke directly in a cold voice:

"You went to see Tang Fei a few days ago? You asked him to leave me, right?"

The words were questions, but the tone was affirmative.

When she saw that her son didn't even call her mother and started asking about the man, Mother Lu's panic disappeared immediately.

She frowned and said in an unhappy tone: "You don't even call me mom just for that pretty boy?"

"I was the one who found him. Is there a problem with him leaving you? Don't play around with just anyone. Marrying a girl properly is what you should do."

Hearing that Lu's mother admitted it so quickly and so confidently, a trace of sadness flashed across Lu Zhi's eyes. He nodded and smiled sarcastically.

"Who told you that?"

Mother Lu was very displeased by his tone. Lu Zhi actually questioned her so harshly because of an outsider. She was the one who gave birth to him and raised him, so how could this be possible?

"Lu Zhi, I am your biological mother! What's with that tone of voice? Are you questioning me?" Mother Lu said angrily.

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me. Since you want to control me so much, then I will control you too. You don't have to ask me for your bills in the future."

Mother Lu's expression froze for a moment, gradually becoming one of disbelief. She stared at Lu Zhi's eyes, trying to see a joking look on his face.

Lu Zhi looked indifferent and calm, looking at her without any fear.

"You...you actually treated your own mother like this for a man, Lu Zhi, do you know what you said?"

Of course Lu Zhi knew that his mother and father had long been strangers, and the living expenses his father gave his mother every month was only enough for her to barely maintain a decent appearance in this circle.

But she also loved to show off in front of those noble ladies, and she wanted the best food, clothing, housing, transportation, shoes, bags and jewelry. Lu Zhi usually paid for all of these, and even paid her credit card bill every month.

Of course Lu Zhi didn't want to treat her like this, but if he didn't let her learn her lesson, she would continue to meddle in his affairs.

"You also said that you are my biological mother. Today I will tell you how important Tang Fei is to me."

He took a deep breath and spoke word by word in a hoarse and suppressed voice:

"Without the money I gave you, you can buy less things. Without him, I will die!"

"Lu Zhi!"

When Mother Lu heard her son say the word "he will die", her heart trembled and her eyes instantly filled with tears.

"He is a man..."

"Haha, I thought you should have anticipated my liking for men. After all, you'd already investigated it when you first discovered your father was having an affair, right? This thing... is hereditary."

Lu Zhi interrupted the second half of Lu's mother's sentence. He really didn't want to hear anyone say anything bad about Tang Fei.

When he said this, Mother Lu collapsed instantly.

She knew, she did understand, but that didn't mean she could accept that her son was like this.

Mother Lu took two steps back and fell onto the sofa, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. She shook her head as if she couldn't face the situation.

The refined lady she had just looked like was gone, her face filled with helplessness and disbelief.

The last time he saw Lu's mother like this was when she was very young. Lu Zhi turned his head away and didn't look at her.

He walked over, bent down, took out a few tissues and handed them to Lu's mother.

He sighed softly: "I have decided on him for my whole life, and it's useless for you to stop me."

Mother Lu seemed to have suddenly thought of something and grabbed his wrist, her tone excited and anxious.

"Your dad likes girls too, so you can too! Didn't you also meet those girls before..."

"Impossible, I will never like women in my life."

Lu Zhi interrupted Mother Lu's fantasy and said seriously:

"I was injured before, so I'm not good at that. So I will never date a woman in my life."

When Mother Lu heard her son state the reason seriously, her first reaction was that Lu Zhi had lied to her.

"Impossible. Your childhood physical examinations were all fine. You lied to me for a man."

But Lu Zhi's next words directly broke her defense.

"You haven't seen my physical examinations since I became an adult, right? I went to Yangcheng quite often in the past few years for treatment. My diagnostic data is all at Renwang Hospital. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to check."

"As for those women from before, you can ask them and find out if I have met them."

Lu Zhi's words were well-reasoned. After hearing them, Mother Lu felt a strong sense of despair surge in her heart. Her head felt dizzy and the world was spinning before her eyes.

Lu Zhi quickly rubbed her back.

After Lu's mother recovered, she looked at her son with complicated eyes. Guilt, heartache, sadness, and despair were all over her mind, and Lu Zhi couldn't distinguish them all.

He just sighed lightly and looked directly at Mother Lu again, his eyes serious and firm:

"So, mother, please stop doing things you think are good for me. The day you went to see Tang Fei... was the day I wanted to confess my feelings to him. Now he's rejected me, just as you wished, and I... am about to collapse."

His eyes were red, and the pain and despair in his eyes directly hurt Mother Lu.

The tears that I had just suppressed burst out again.

"Xiao Zhi, my mother's Xiao Zhi..."

Mother Lu hugged him immediately, buried her head in his shoulder and began to sob, her tone full of heartache.

After a while, Mother Lu closed her eyes as if in compromise. A tear fell from her eye sockets, and she spoke in a choked voice:

"Since you can't let him go, go get him back."

Lu Zhi paused. Could his mother compromise so quickly? But this was not enough.

He lowered his eyes and slowly pushed Mother Lu away. His voice was choked with sobs, filled with despair and death:

"It's too late. He, he doesn't want me anymore... I can't live anymore..."

Mother Lu's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Lu Zhi in front of her. Her son's eyes were bloodshot, his eye sockets were sunken, and there was a thick dark circle around them.

His face was haggard, his skin was sallow and loose, without any luster, and he exuded an aura of despair, looking decadent and pitiful.

how so!

Is this her son who never takes anything to heart?

In just two days, his son became like this. Is it all because of her?

Because she asked Tang Fei to leave.

The panic of losing her child instantly swept over her body. She didn't dare to think about the consequences of losing Lu Zhi. A strong thought arose.

Her eyes changed from panic and despair to hope and determination. She stood up and said firmly:

"I'll go apologize to him and ask for his forgiveness. It'll be fine, Xiaozhi. Don't be like this. Don't scare Mom."
