Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Lu Yang felt he had overlooked something, and only after he realized it did he remember: "Isn't Lan Siqi pregnant? She should be at least five or six months along, her belly is quite big. When I saw her, she didn't look pregnant."

Cheng Lin said nonchalantly, "I had a miscarriage two months ago."

"I heard that she had a fight with Qu Hongyang. She said that Qu Hongyang pushed her down and caused her miscarriage, but Qu Hongyang said that she fell on her own. They each had their own version of events, but in any case, the baby is gone."

"It was because of this that Qu Hongyang couldn't stand Lan Siqi's nagging, which allowed Lu Qing to take advantage of the situation."

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised; he really didn't know that Lan Siqi had miscarried.

No wonder she went crazy and killed people; this marriage must have been extremely difficult for her.

The former sycophant has now become her husband, but life hasn't been easy for him. He's become increasingly cold towards her, and she naturally can't tolerate this change in his behavior.

Lu Yang sighed and lay back down on the bed. For Qu Hongyang, it would be better if Lan Siqi disappeared.

He rubbed his stomach and said, "It's my treat, let's go out for a drink."

Cheng Lin put down the magazine and said helplessly, "I have something important to tell you. I've expanded my food and beverage bar business southward and opened seven more stores."

"Business is alright. I've brought the ledgers with me so you can take a look."

Lu Liang took the ledger and casually put it aside: "I haven't eaten anything all day, I'm starving, let's eat first."

Cheng Lin nodded and went out with Lu Yang.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "I've set up the headquarters of the catering company in Guangzhou and reserved the position of general manager for you. I'm currently the chairman of the board, but I'll temporarily serve as the general manager."

"Once business here is stable, you can come with me to the south."

"The entire food and beverage bar is now under your management."

"This way I can also free up Ge San and Zheng Yuntao to do some other business."

"Food is the most important thing for people. As long as the catering industry does not encounter major turmoil, it should be able to stabilize."

"If you have the time, you could also start a food business, process some of our experimental class's signature dishes, and sell them all over the country."

Cheng Lin's eyes lit up. He hadn't said anything, but since the restaurant originated in the north, he had his objections to Lu Yang still opening the catering company in the south.

Unfortunately, he wasn't a major shareholder; to put it bluntly, he was just a high-level employee working for Lu Yang.

Hearing Lu Yang say this now, he breathed a sigh of relief. At least in Lu Yang's eyes, he was still a founding member of the company.

As long as he doesn't make any major mistakes in the future, he and Lu Yang can become incredibly wealthy and live a life of luxury.

The two went downstairs while talking and had a meal at a restaurant near the community.

While they were eating, a woman wearing a red strapless bodycon dress walked over.

The woman was very fair-skinned, with long, flowing black hair that cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall. While sexy, she was also overly revealing.

Lu Yang glanced at her once, then frowned and quickly turned away, not wanting the woman to see him.

But the woman was coming for him. She walked straight up to him, almost kneeling down: "Brother, please help me!"

Lu Yang glanced at Lu Qing speechlessly, pointed to a clothing store not far away, and said, "Go change into some normal clothes before you come back and talk to me."

Lu Qing said helplessly, "I don't want to dress like this either, but Qu Hongyang likes it. I saw it in a magazine and he forced me to dress like this every day."

Lu Yang said speechlessly, "He's got his eyes glued to you. When he's not around, just change into normal clothes. When he is, just change into those other clothes, okay?"

Lu Qing didn't say a word, and knelt down before Lu Yang with a thud.

Lu Yang quickly got up and hid to the side: "What are you doing?"

He glanced around and thankfully there were security cameras in the restaurant.

Cheng Lin pursed her lips, unable to bear looking at him any longer, so she pretended to be dead and continued eating in silence.

Lu Qing cried with snot and tears streaming down her face: "Big brother, I'm really having a hard time. Qu Hongyang is a monster. His mind is abnormal. Being with him is almost torture for me."

"Please help me, I don't want to be with him anymore."

Lu Yang stared coldly at her, and Lu Qing continued, "I was wrong before. I always caused you trouble when we were at home. I know I was wrong. I was young and ignorant back then."

Lu Yang stared at her coldly: "You don't know you're wrong, you're just desperate and clinging to me as a lifeline."

Lu Qing immediately broke down and continued crying: "Big brother, I really regret it. I regret bullying you, I regret not studying hard, I regret meeting Shen Xuwen."

Cheng Lin looked at him, frowned, and a complicated expression appeared in his eyes.

He still remembered how arrogant Lu Qing was when she picked fights with them back then.

Lu Yang sat back down in his chair and said in a deep voice, "I can't help you. I don't get along with Qu Hongyang."

Lu Qing stared at Lu Yang with red eyes: "You must have a way, you're so rich."

I beg you, I beg you!

Lu Yang lost his appetite and paid the bill, then had his bodyguards stop Lu Qing and Cheng Lin from leaving together.

It wasn't until they got in the car that Lu Yang asked, quite puzzled, "Why is she reacting so strongly? She's been a mistress to quite a few men over the years; she should be very familiar with being a mistress."

Cheng Lin stroked his chin and said, "It's said that Qu Hongyang has a few quirks."

Lu Yang frowned and asked, "You like domestic violence?"

Cheng Lin gave him a complicated look: "It's not exactly domestic violence, but it's pretty much like it. I've heard they like to tie people up."

Lu Yang thought about it carefully and realized that Lu Qing did have marks on her arms and legs, indicating that she had been tortured quite a bit and there was really no other way.

However, he didn't intend to care about Lu Qing. Whether in his past life or this life, Lu Qing had never left him with a good impression.

She has only herself to blame for her current predicament. She had many choices, but each time she chose the worst path.

Cheng Lin stroked his chin and said, "She still wants to leave Qu Hongyang. Although Qu Hongyang is a bit crazy and a bit stupid, at least she has a certain status."

"She's famous now. The family of the kid whose foot she broke before is still looking for her."

“Without Qu Hongyang protecting her, that family could kill her.”

Lu Yang was taken aback. So much time had passed that he had even forgotten what Lu Qing had done at Chuncheng University.

He couldn't help but shake his head, silently reminding himself not to get involved in this mess.

After the two returned to their rented apartment complex, Lu Yang got out of the car and walked inside by himself.

He hadn't walked far when he noticed Yao Lili.

Standing next to Yao Lili was a woman dressed in a youthful and beautiful style.

The two chatted happily, but Lu Yang couldn't remember who the woman was even after trying for a long time.
