A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

The Lü and Yu families received invitations one after another, especially the Lü family. Now the Chi family's position is unshakeable, and the Lü family is at the very bottom.

Lü Haotian drove his car into his villa, located in a luxury seaside area of ​​Xijing. The night sky was dotted with stars, adding a touch of romance to the villa.

"Mom." Lu Haotian walked with light steps, his back straight, exuding an elegant aura.

"Isn't Shiya with you?" Lu Haotian's mother, Lu He, was holding her grandson and shaking a toy in her hand.

The Lü family was unlike any other. Lü He had two older brothers who died young, so Old Master Lü had no choice but to find a son-in-law to join the family. After much deliberation, he chose Zhou Guangzhen, the second son of the Zhou family. The couple had their eldest son, Lü Haoyi, and a few years later, Lü Haotian was born. Old Master Lü doted on his eldest grandson, Haoyi, and even before his death, he designated Haoyi as the heir to the Lü family business in his will. No matter how outstanding Lü Haotian was, he could never compare to his elder brother.

“She’s been busy with new product launches lately.” Lu Haotian politely presented his nephew with a small gift.

The baby was amused and grinned, reaching for his gift with his chubby little hands. His plump cheeks made you want to pinch them.

"Go away, don't pinch the baby's face, it'll make him drool." Lü He slapped Lü Haotian's hand away and pretended to hit him angrily.

Zhou Guangzhen and Lü Haoyi also came in from the door. When the baby saw his father, he waved his arms, his little legs restless in Lü He's hands. Seeing his father's unhurried appearance, he cried pitifully.

"Haoyi, baby still loves you the most." Guo Anyue walked over with the baby bottle and took the baby from Lü He's hands.

After washing his hands, Lü Haoyi kissed his child. The child's innocent smile instantly dispelled all the fatigue of the day. He held the little foot and kissed it.

"Let's eat."

“My older brother has completely become a slave to his child.” Lu Haotian noticed that his older brother’s eyes never left the child for a moment.

Lu Haoyi's face was filled with a happy smile. "You should hurry up too, then you'll understand how I feel right now."

Zhou Guangzhen remained silent. Lü He nudged his hand in confusion, signaling him not to always look so serious.

"Do you and your girlfriend have any plans to get married?" Zhou Guangzhen took a sip of baijiu, the alcohol making him frown.

Lu Haotian swallowed his food, wiped his hands, and politely replied, "Not yet."

“Starting tomorrow, you will go back to the head office to help your elder brother. The situation in Xijing is tense right now. You are close to the Chi family. Make good use of this relationship, which will benefit all of us.” Zhou Guangzhen poured himself a drink. Since the passing of Old Master Lü, Zhou Guangzhen has been managing the company, with Lü Haoyi assisting him. Lü Haotian is in charge of some projects in the subsidiary, but he has not been given important responsibilities.

Lu Haotian maintained his smile, as if listening to something ordinary: "My collaboration with the Chi family on new energy has just achieved good results."

"Well done." Zhou Guangzhen rarely praised Lü Haotian. "The Chi family's charity gala invited many daughters of prominent families. Getting to know more of them will benefit your future."

"Guangzhen, you don't need to interfere in the lives of young people." Lü He was increasingly unable to understand her husband.

"Now that things have come to this, one man can't hold the fort alone." Zhou Guangzhen glanced at Lü Haoyi and Guo Anyue. Originally, he had arranged a marriage with the Guo family to strengthen his own power, but the Guo family had fallen. Lü Haoyi was unwilling to divorce, so he had no choice but to start planning again.

“Dad, nowadays, the ladies of prominent families in Xijing will only marry Chi Ruiche.” Lu Haotian paused, a hint of calculation lurking in his gentle gaze.

Lü Haoyi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Lü Haotian with a probing gaze, his eyes clearly showing cunning and suspicion. He continued to subtly hold and coax his son.

"Go to the head office first, I'll have a plan." Zhou Guangzhen sipped his drink and patted his stomach with satisfaction. "How are things between you and the Jiang family? If you can be with Jiang Yi, what do we have to fear from the Chi family?"

"I see."

"Alright, let's eat, Chairman Zhou. I always have to scold my son when he comes home." Lü He called to Lü Haotian and urged Lü Haoyi to eat quickly.

"Haotian has a gentle personality and always acts polite and courteous to everyone, so I always have to give him some pointers."

After receiving the call and expressing his apologies, Lü Haotian left the villa. The moment he stepped outside, his gentle gaze turned icy as he scanned the area, his eyes filled with disgust and impatience.

"Dad, are you really going to let Haotian join the head office?" Lu Haoyi was no pushover; his true nature was revealed after Lu Haotian left.

“If you can’t do it, I don’t mind replacing you.” Zhou Guangzhen wasn’t communicating with his son; he was talking to an employee, a pawn. He had endured so much for so many years; he wanted to possess everything the Lü family owned.

The three members of the Lü family, father and sons, each harbor their own secrets, and their seemingly simple relationship is actually the most complex. Everyone lives behind a mask, and when their own interests are threatened, there is no room for kinship.

"Haoyi, are you alright?" After putting her son to sleep, Guo Anyue straddled Lü Haoyi's lap, her eyes sparkling with alluring charm.

"The Lü family is mine." Lü Haoyi smiled again, enjoying Guo Anyue's tenderness, and wrapped his arms around her waist. He liked that Guo Anyue was infatuated with him, enjoyed her submissiveness, and enjoyed that everything was under his control.
