Jiang Mian was stunned when she heard the conversation between Lu Bozhou and Song Xun.

Although I guessed that Lu Bozhou was suspicious and might know about these things.

But I never expected that he would know so much and in such detail.

He knows everything.

After listening to Lu Bozhou give instructions to Song Xun on the other end of the phone.

Jiang Mian pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "President Lu, you don't really need to be so wary of me."

Lu Bozhou glanced at her indifferently, "I just don't like Qin Yanhuai always staring at me."

Whether in the past or now.

Jiang Mian opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a word.

In the end, all he said was, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

She prepared to leave the study.

Before leaving, she paused, then asked, "Mr. Lu, is there anything you'd like to eat for dinner?"

Lu Bozhou shook his head slightly. "No need, I'll go out."

Jiang Mian didn't ask any more questions and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner ingredients.

It's unclear when Lu Bozhou went out.

When Lu Chaochi woke up, Lu Bozhou was no longer at home.

Lu Chaochi ran barefoot from the room to the kitchen.

Seeing Jiang Mian busy at the stove, Lu Chaochi happily rushed over.

"Mianmian! I thought you were gone..."

Jiang Mian's heart softened, and she squatted down to hug him. "No, I heard you cried for a long time."

Lu Chaochi was a little embarrassed and gently rubbed his nose. "N-no, I didn't."

Have you eaten fried chicken?

"I ate it!" Lu Chaochi was very happy.

"Is it good? Which flavor do you like?"

"I like honey mustard, and Dad likes Thai spicy and sour."

Jiang Mian was taken aback. "He ate it too?"

"Hmm." Lu Chaochi pouted. "He eats more than me. He said he was afraid I'd get diarrhea from eating too much, so he helped me eat some. I think he's just greedy."

Hearing this, Jiang Mian felt both helpless and amused.

Lu Chaochi felt that Jiang Mian was someone he had lost and then found again, so he didn't want to go out to wait for her and stayed in the kitchen to watch over her.

He kept talking to her, his little mouth chattering away.

Jiang Mian then learned the details of what had happened.

Yan Ke came to the house and took Lu Chaochi for a follow-up examination, telling him that he could have fried chicken when he got back.

He agreed.

But after the follow-up examination, Yan Ke told her that she couldn't do it anymore.

Lu Chaochi immediately exploded and burst into tears.

"I heard from Uncle Song that Aunt Lu deliberately tricked you into going up to the third floor to frame you."

Lu Chaochi frowned slightly. "It must be Grandpa and Grandma's idea. They don't like you. And..."

Lu Chaochi's voice lowered somewhat.

"...It seems like they've always wanted my dad to find a new wife. Before you were here, they could use the excuse of finding someone to take care of me to put pressure on my dad."

“But now you’re taking care of me, and you also…” Lu Chaochi bit his lip gently and said softly, “You look a lot like my mother. So they must be getting anxious.”

Listening to Lu Chaochi's words.

Jiang Mian's eyes widened slightly. She knew this child was perceptive, but she hadn't expected her to be this perceptive.

"I'm sorry, Mianmian," Lu Chaochi said softly, his head bowed. "You were wronged and suffered injustice for no reason, and it must be because of this."

"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Mian gently patted his head. "Let's not talk about this anymore. What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Anything is fine, Mianmian makes everything delicious. Much better than that asparagus." Lu Chaochi pursed his lips.

"You didn't let her come over?" Jiang Mian thought to herself, no wonder she hadn't seen Aunt Lu.

Looks like this little guy has shown his power.

But to his surprise, Lu Chaochi shook his head. "It wasn't me, it was Dad. He wouldn't let Aunt Lu come over, and Grandpa and Grandma were very unhappy. They offered him a lot of conditions."

"Conditions?" Jiang Mian paused in her act of peeling the cucumber.

"Hmm, it's probably another banquet or event that Dad hates."

Lu Chaochi shrugged lightly. "He's annoyed by those places."

I've been married to him for three years.

Jiang Mian certainly knew what kind of family Lu Bozhou came from.

Lu Hong and Yan Ke had high expectations of him; to put it bluntly, they had a strong desire to control him.

From childhood to adulthood, it seems he never had any choice.

Because of the complex situation within the Lu family.

Lu Hong's mother was the second wife of Old Master Lu, and Lu Hong was never valued by Old Master Lu.

No matter how outstanding he is, it's useless.

This situation only eased after Lu Bolin and Lu Bozhou's generation were born.

Because Lu Bolin and his group are all incompetent fools.

Lu Bozhou's excellence is therefore all the more precious.

The old man is probably getting old, and he feels more and more that he should be fairer to his descendants.

So from a young age, the old man treated Lu Bozhou quite well.

Therefore, Lu Hong was determined to make Lu Bozhou more outstanding, even more outstanding.

Perhaps it was originally just a simple wish for the child to live a happy life and grow up healthily.

After gaining his father's attention, it gradually began to change its nature.

A happy life? That's not enough.

They must be outstanding, exceptionally outstanding, and superior to all other descendants of the Lu family.

Therefore, many of Lu Bozhou's routes were planned by Lu Hong and Yan Ke.

He simply left.

Boring, routine.

After starting a family and establishing a career, Lu Bozhou gradually slipped out of control.

But this is largely because they know their parents' inherent desire for control.

On some matters, he was too lazy to argue with them.

Lu Bozhou was well-versed in how to get along with his parents; a few small concessions could calm them down considerably.

For example, telling Aunt Lu to get out of the house.

The condition is that he must attend the banquets that Yan Ke arranges for him afterwards.

"You need to get to know other people, right? Are you really planning to spend the rest of your life alone?"

"I'm afraid if you continue like this, are you really planning to live with that nanny?"

Did I tell you to just marry someone? Shouldn't you at least get to know them a little better?

Yan Ke's words.

Actually, it's not that you can't refuse.

However, if she refused, given Yan Ke's personality...

Aunt Lu isn't going to the mansion anymore; Yan Ke might come and keep an eye on things personally.

That would be incredibly annoying.

Lu Bozhou picked up the cup beside him, his expression indifferent.

A soft laugh came from above, and the moment Lu Bozhou heard it, his brows furrowed.

Lu Bolin chuckled, "What? Bozhou, is your aunt putting pressure on you again? If you ask me, why don't you just find some woman to shut your aunt up first? It's not like you can't sell, why are you acting like you're unsellable?"

Lu Bozhou glanced sideways at Lu Bolin beside him and scoffed, "Don't bother with my business. You should mind your own business. Has your youngest son been born yet? Is your wife's severed hand healed?"

Lu Bolin originally wanted to put on a show of brotherly affection with him in front of everyone.

But to his surprise, Lu Bozhou had no intention of cooperating at all.

Lu Bolin sneered, "You really are...getting worse and worse. If only you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? Where were you when your wife died? Now you're here, wasting your energy on a substitute, trying to avenge a substitute? What's the point?" [Qiqi is asking for votes and favorites!
