Don't meet me in your next life.

Do Yi Yi and Lu Sichen know each other? Lin Lubai was a little puzzled.

Seeing Xiang Yi close the door behind her, he was even more puzzled. If there was nothing wrong, what was the point of closing the door?

"Yi Yi, what are you doing?" Lin Lubai pretended not to see Lu Sichen.

Still not quite in a daze, Xiang Yi was startled by Lin Lubai and stammered, "It's nothing, I just went into Grandpa's study to take a look."

Xiang Yi didn't dare to say that she had met Lu Sichen; Lu Sichen's words had made her somewhat uneasy.

Revenge against Lu Sichen? Probably not. She decided to figure this out first. Their relationship was so strained that Xiang Yi didn't dare to say anything, and Lu Sichen had also told her not to.

"Why are you going into Grandpa's study?" Lin Lubai couldn't help but ask.

"Um, um, I'd like to find a book to read, I'm really bored." Xiang Yi's voice trembled slightly with nervousness.

"Oh, did you find it?" Lin Lubai replied.

Lin Lubai had already noticed Xiang Yi's furrowed brows; this woman definitely knew Lu Sichen, and she was hiding something from him.

"I don't feel like there's anything I want to see, let's go." Remembering that Lu Sichen was still inside, she wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Let's go, Yi Yi. Do you need to use the restroom again?" Lin Lubai asked tentatively.

"Let's not go, let's go." Xiang Yi was still thinking about the problems between the brothers.

Hearing Lin Lubai's voice, Lu Sichen did not come out of the room. He knew that going out would only make things more difficult to explain, and he wanted to protect Xiang Yiyi.

After they left, Lu Sichen came out of the study. He was going to find Mu Xiaoxue; he planned to get engaged to her.

As Lin Lubai and Xiang Yi walked out, the dinner was almost over, and Grandpa also got up to leave.

Seeing that Grandpa had finished eating, Lin Lubai took Xiang Yiyi to say goodbye to Grandpa and make an excuse to leave. Before they had taken two steps, Lu Chengmin caught up with them.

"Xiao Bai, come to the study, let's talk." Lu Chengming's tone was somewhat urgent, but his words carried a commanding tone.

"What do you want to talk about?" Lin Lubai pulled Xiang Yiyi back to the study. With so many people around, he didn't confront him directly.

"Can you give me that piece of land in Jizhou? You can name your terms, and I'll agree to anything I can give you," Lu Chengmin said in a pleading tone.

"As you know, that's where I planned to build a cemetery. I intend to vigorously develop the funeral industry," Lin Lubai said provocatively.

“I know you’re deliberately going against me, but without the support of Jizhou’s funeral industry, the Lu family is finished.” Lu Chengmin said sadly.

"That's your problem, it has nothing to do with me," Lin Lubai retorted.

“No matter what, we are father and son. You have the blood of the Lu family flowing in your veins. Can’t you leave me, the Lu family, a way out?” Lu Chengmin gritted his teeth.

"The Lu family? Our Lu family? Please, I'm not surnamed Lu. If you want me to leave you a way out, fine, bring my mother back to life and I'll give you one," Lin Lubai sneered.

"Can we talk this over properly? Does it have to be like this between us, father and son?" Lu Chengmin frowned.

"Don't you know why I took that cemetery plot? Lu Chengmin, this is what you owe me and my mother." Lin Lubai said, pulling Yi Yi away.

"Xiao Bai, no matter what, I'm still your biological father!" Lu Chengmin shouted to Lin Lu Bai.

"You're not worthy!" Lin Lubai sneered.

Xiang Yi didn't dare to breathe loudly; in this situation, she dared not speak.

Lu Yaodong watched all this from the doorway, his brows furrowed, but he remained silent.

"Don't waste your time. Give that cemetery plot and the funeral industry to Xiaobai," Lu Yaodong said slowly.

"Dad, do you know that this will cause the Lu family to collapse? Do you know that this is the only way for us to turn things around?" Lu Chengmin gritted his teeth.

"So what? Is your son more important or your career?" Lu Yaodong asked.

Lu Chengmin supported his forehead.

"Alright, give it to him. If you hadn't done that back then, and hadn't treated him like that afterward, things wouldn't have come to this." Lu Yaodong once again urged Lu Chengmin to put it down.

Lu Chengmin didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

Watching Lin Lubai pull Xiang Yi away, Lu Sichen suppressed his heartache and went over to greet him: "Brother, will you stay at home tonight?"

"No, I'll take your sister-in-law home." Lin Lubai emphasized the word "sister-in-law." This younger brother had always been clinging to him whenever he saw him since he was little, and he couldn't get rid of him no matter what. Although he didn't like him, he couldn't bring himself to hate him either.

"Sister-in-law?" Lu Sichen was somewhat surprised, then nodded.

"Yes, we're married." Xiang Yi's tone was somewhat stiff as she recalled what Lu Sichen had done to her.

These words made Lu Sichen feel terrible. They had only been together for a few days. Was this directed at him? But he didn't dare to ask.

"I wish my brother and sister-in-law happiness," Lu Sichen managed to say, but his heart was bleeding.

"Hmm." He nodded, his face grim, and pulled Xiang Yi away.

He had seen everything about Gang Lu Sichen, and his possessiveness was particularly strong.

He was also aware of Xiang Yiyi's conflicted state. It seemed there was something fishy going on between the two; he needed to have Xiao Zhao investigate.

Along the way, Xiang Yi looked at Lin Lubai's gloomy face and dared not say many of the things she wanted to say, for fear of stepping on his sore spot. This man was imposing even without anger when he was angry.

"Lin Lubai, why do you hate the Lu family so much?" Xiang Yi had held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but ask.

Hearing her ask that, Lin Lubai tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

"Lu Chengmin and that woman killed my mother and abandoned me in Africa. It was my grandfather and maternal grandfather who brought me back." Lin Lubai's face darkened.

Xiang Yi waited for him to continue, but he didn't say anything more, and she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The air was deathly still the whole way, and Xiang Yi didn't dare to breathe too loudly. This must be his family feud.

"You go in first. I won't be staying here tonight. I'll be going to Jizhou first thing tomorrow morning. Call me if anything happens," Lin Lubai instructed.

"Okay, be careful." Xiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Lubai drove away and Xiang Yi entered the house.

When Xiang Yi got home, she poured herself a full glass of water and drank it down. The atmosphere tonight was too oppressive. So many things had come crashing down on her at once, and she couldn't quite process them all.

Lin Lubai is Lu Sichen's brother, and Lu Sichen suspects that he is with her to get revenge on him. However, the way she met Lin Lubai is too suspicious. They got married in less than a week. Does he really love her?

As Xiang Yi lay in bed, her mind was filled with thoughts of tonight's events, and she felt somewhat uneasy.

On his way back to the hotel, Lin Lubai received a call from Xiao Zhao.

"Boss, there's something I'm not sure if I should say," Xiao Zhao said somewhat uneasily.

"Speak," Lin Lubai said without wasting any words.

"Um, your wife, that is, our president's wife, is your brother's ex-girlfriend." After saying that, Xiao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he wasn't next to the president, otherwise he didn't know if he would have lost his life.

With a "squeak," came the sharp sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground.

Lin Lubai's heart raced, and he slammed on the brakes. He had guessed they knew each other, but he never imagined they had this kind of relationship.
