Logically speaking, although Lu Xiuyuan is not a particularly qualified brother, he has fulfilled his responsibilities as an older brother when it comes to Lu Wensheng.
Especially compared with Mrs. Lu and Father Lu, it can be said that it has reached the extreme.
But Lu Wensheng didn't like him.
According to common sense, a child who has been living away from home since childhood and has suffered all kinds of grievances would be moved when he sees the only relative who cares about him.
Even if I can't be dependent on you, I won't be so cold either.
This is human nature.
Even Lu Youyou, before Lu Wensheng died, still felt a little concerned about the blood relationship when facing Lu Xiuyuan.
But Lu Wensheng had none of that.
Lu Xiuyuan turned his head and looked at his childhood friend beside him, "What do you want to say?"
Since Tan Zhou asked this question, the answer to this question definitely cannot be that Lu Wensheng suffers from an affective disorder.
Tan Zhou looked at Lu Xiuyuan and said with some pity, "Because you made the same fatal mistake as Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu."
"The pain and tragedy in her life were all caused by you, the Lu family."
"But no one has apologized to her for this mistake."
"You even doubled the pain that should have been borne by your Lu family and inflicted it on her."
"Lu Xiuyuan, you understand your mother's kindness in raising Lu Erya, understand the eighteen years of brotherly love you and Lu Erya have shared, understand the mother-son bond between you and Madam Lu, and understand the family honor of your Lu family... But have you ever understood the grievances and pain that Lu Wensheng is experiencing?"
Lu Xiuyuan's whole body suddenly shook and his face suddenly turned pale.
Tan Zhou looked him straight in the eyes, "You didn't."
"Because Lu Wensheng was silent, because Lu Wensheng didn't speak, because Lu Wensheng didn't seem to care at all, you subconsciously and naturally ignored her pain and hatred, thinking that she didn't need to be understood."
Tan Zhou looked up at the distant sky, thinking of the girl whose life was forever frozen at the age of eighteen. "Lu Xiuyuan, do you think there was ever a moment when Lu Wensheng also held out hope that her brother, a researcher who was rumored to be smart and powerful, would say to her when he learned of the hurt and grievances she had suffered..."
"Brother will protect you well from now on. Brother will help you take back everything that belongs to you from Lu Erya..."
"Tell her... welcome home."
A look of pain suddenly appeared in Lu Xiuyuan's eyes.
"Lu Youyou must have often said things like this to her," Tan Zhou said softly. "Lu Youyou will help her teach Lu Erya a lesson, Lu Youyou will help her seize the Lu family's property and inheritance rights, Lu Youyou will stand up to protect her when she is in danger, and Lu Youyou will avenge her at all costs after her death..."
"And you, Lu Xiuyuan, haven't done any of these."
"For Lu Youyou, wrong is wrong and right is right. She won't be as emotional and indecisive as you."
"Lu Xiuyuan, believe it or not, if Lu Youyou were in your position, the choice she would make would absolutely be the opposite of yours."
"The moment Lu Youyou learns the truth, she will resolutely kill Lu Erya, regardless of everyone's opposition. Even if she can't kill her for the time being, she will do everything she can to return everything that belongs to Lu Wensheng to her."
"She will still stand by Lu Wensheng without hesitation, stand by her, protect her, and go against the Lu family for her."
"Because Lu Youyou is such a strong and decisive person, who hates evil and will not cover up evil or ignore injustice for personal reasons."
"So, there's no other reason why Lu Wensheng doesn't like you."
"It's just because you, my brother... aren't worth it."
Lu Xiuyuan suddenly closed his eyes.
Tan Zhou looked at the sky and said with some pity, "She is just sick, not without human emotions."
"Lu Xiuyuan, you are such a...completely unsuccessful brother."
The scene fell into silence.
After a long moment, Tan Zhou spoke again. He walked towards Lu Erya's body and said, "Lu Erya has a special medical condition. To prevent any accidents, the Procuratorate will be responsible for the follow-up matters regarding her body."
Lu Xiuyuan stood there, watching Tan Zhou and his men methodically clean up Lu Erya's body, and did not speak for a long time.

In the black sports car, Ning Yan tilted his head slightly and looked at the girl who was leaning on his shoulder and falling asleep.
After Lu Qingtang got in the car, she leaned on his shoulder without saying a word, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
After Ning Yan waited until she fell asleep, he gently raised his hand and held Lu Qingtang in his arms, allowing her to sleep more comfortably.
In the dim light, he lowered his head and looked at the little girl who was sleeping defenselessly in his arms. After days of running around and being tired, her once pretty face was now filled with deep fatigue, and between her once beautiful eyebrows and eyes, there was a hint of sadness.
Ning Yan's slender fingers lightly brushed across the wrinkles between Lu Qingtang's eyebrows, trying to smooth out the extra negative emotions.
The little girl in his arms should be strong, bright, lively, cute, and indestructible...
Such a sad mood does not suit her.
The car drove all the way to Lushan Jinwan and finally stopped in front of the villa gate.
The driver raised his hand from outside to open the car door, and Ning Yan got out of the car holding Lu Qingtang.
Outside the door of the villa next door, Xingxing smelled a familiar scent and ran out barking.
Butler Qin quickly stepped forward, picked up Xingxing, gently touched its head, and signaled it not to disturb Lu Qingtang's sleep.
Xingxing seemed to have sensed something, and she kept screaming, struggling in Butler Qin's arms with some anxiety.
In the end, Jiaojiao came out and rubbed Xingxing gently for a long time before she calmed down.
Ning Yan carried Lu Qingtang back to the bedroom on the second floor, personally helped her take a bath, and put her back to bed before walking out.
Butler Qin stepped forward and said respectfully, "Young Master, there's new news from the capital..."
