The phone was back in Lu Sijian's hands.

Lu Ting: "Honey, Daddy has a meeting and can't chat with you. If you're unhappy, have your older brothers keep you company these next few days..."

He gave a few more instructions, and only after his secretary came to urge him a third time did he get up to get busy.

Uncle Fu has gradually retired over the years, and now he only does some light work at the company, without having to attend meetings.

After Lu Ting left, Uncle Fu took the video and looked at Lu Sijian in the lens with deep emotion in his eyes.

"Miss, don't be sad that your husband didn't come to be with you. He still loves you just as much as before."

"Although he is not by your side, he pays attention to everything about you, no matter how small."

Lu Sijian: "Uncle Fu, I know everything."

[Happiness is indeed relative. Compared to me, it's the person who shouldn't even get a second glance from their father that should be sad and upset.]

She glanced at Lu Lingchen, who had been in a low mood ever since he handed her the phone.

[I never expected that such a grown man would still be such a daddy's boy, always wanting to be close to his father.]

[It's no wonder that people who lack fatherly love in dramas project their own experiences onto their real-life fathers.]

Lu Lingchen clenched his fist, his knuckles making a slight snapping sound.

Lu Lingbai lowered his head, somewhat incredulous. His aloof and highly intelligent third brother was actually a mama's boy. Was it really true?

He really didn't understand! What was so great about sticking with a tyrannical and autocratic father like his own, just because he was old and had a bad temper?

Meanwhile, Uncle Fu had a serious chat with each of the Lu family's children.

Lu Ting's personality has always been like this: self-centered, autocratic, and indifferent, revealing his patriarchal style.

Uncle Fu always acted as a mediator, and his relationship with the Lu family's children actually became closer.

In fact, Uncle Fu had suggested before that it might be better for the family to have a female head of the household when the children were still young.

However, Lu Ting had no intention of remarrying and was focused on his work. Uncle Fu knew he couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had no choice but to give up.

Later, after Lu Sijian's accident, the family gradually went their separate ways, and they lost touch with each other. They might not even have a phone call for a year or two.

Uncle Fu sometimes worried, how could they be considered a family like this?

Fortunately, it was the young lady who woke up, so the master was finally not preoccupied with work all the time.

“Miss, I will come back to China to visit you after I’m done with this busy period,” Uncle Fu said with a smile.

Lu Sijian: "...Okay."

If Uncle Fu is coming back, then Lu Ting will be back soon too, won't he?

Whether it was because of what Uncle Fu said or not, Lu Sijian did not sleep well that night.

The next morning, when they went downstairs, the three Lu brothers were all sitting at the dining table.

Lu Lingjun said, "A-Jian, you go out and play with Xiao Bai and Xiao Chen. Leave everything at home to me."

Last night, he took all the gifts sent by the Lou family and Lou Xiao's personal belongings to the Lou family in one car.

However, Lou Xiao was clearly not going to let it go, so it would be better for Lu Sijian to leave for a while.

Lu Sijian: "I'll listen to my older brother."

Lu Lingbai and Lu Lingchen had obviously received the notification long ago and had already made their preparations.

Lu Sijian's luggage was packed by Wang Ma and had already been taken downstairs. Wang Ma accompanied her this time.

As the group got into the car and drove out of the villa area, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side.

"Ah Jane!"

Lu Sijian looked up at the people outside the car window. Lou Xiao must have been waiting here all night, his eyes were dark and his face was extremely haggard.

The car was quiet for a moment.

Lu Lingbo hesitated for a moment, "Ah Jian, I know you don't want to see him right now, but..."

Lu Sijian had already rolled down the car window. Hearing this, she turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

Lu Lingbai: "..."

It's nothing, he's just overthinking it, thinking it's going to be a heart-wrenching drama.

Lu Sijian ignored him and turned to look at Lou Xiao.

"You're blocking this way, is there something you want to say? You have ten minutes."

[Any more won't do, there's not enough time.]

Lou Xiao's thoughts were in turmoil; the torment of the night had made him think about many things.

"Jane," he said, his voice slightly hoarse, his myriad thoughts condensed into just three words, "I'm sorry."

Lu Sijian nodded to indicate that she had heard. "Anything else?"

Lou Xiao: "Mu Liangyue once saved my life, it's true. Back then, the experts said there was a high chance you wouldn't wake up. That night, it was pouring rain, and in a moment of distraction, I drove my car into the river..."

"It was Mu Liangyue who secretly followed me and discovered that my car had fallen into the river. She immediately jumped into the water and rescued me."

He was briefly unconscious due to the impact, and when he woke up, there was only a stranger next to him.

Mu Liangyue saved the person, but quietly left.

She actually injured the tendons in her left arm during the hostage situation. Because it wasn't an obvious external injury, no one paid attention to it, and the injury never healed properly.

After that incident where I jumped into the river to save someone, I didn't receive timely medical treatment, and my left arm was almost completely useless.

Even when I'm just holding something like a cup, it shakes slightly.

The impact on daily life may not be particularly noticeable, but it can cause significant problems if you are engaged in professional work.

For example, doing scientific research or playing the erhu (a two-stringed bowed instrument) are things that cannot be done for a long time.

Her life should have had endless possibilities, but it seems she ruined them all herself.

Lu Sijian: "So that's why you had to go and save her after you learned she was in danger yesterday?"

She paused, her face cold, "But what does all this have to do with me?"

"Instead of wasting your time explaining these things to me, you should think about how to explain them to Mr. Ouyang of Hewei. Perhaps he will be interested in your story."

"Miss Lu, Mr. Lou abandoned everything to wait for you all night because you are the one he values ​​most!" the assistant said, quite displeased.

She's a model socialite, shouldn't she prioritize the bigger picture and stand with Mr. Lou to face this together?

Not only did they throw a tantrum, but they also kicked him when he was down.

"That's enough, stop talking." Lou Xiao said, somewhat embarrassed.

Hewei was furious, and the company's veteran shareholders also accused him of being muddle-headed.

He was overwhelmed with problems, but he still insisted on putting aside company matters to comfort Lu Sijian first.

"Ah Jian, I understand. I will take care of the company's affairs first, and then apologize to you again," Lou Xiao said.

He maintained his composure and stepped aside.

The assistant's phone rang. The assistant glanced at it, hesitated for a moment, and then hung up.

But then it rang again. Lou Xiao glanced at it, saw Zhao Ke's name, and his eyes turned cold. "Hang up."

The phone rang for the third time.

“Zhao Ke must really have something urgent to do. I suggest you answer the phone,” Lu Sijian said after thinking for a moment.

[According to the original plan, today should have been the day Mu Liangyue was truly kidnapped...]

The car drove away, and Lou Xiao came to his senses and answered the phone.

"Mu Liangyue is in trouble again, isn't she? Since you're so worried, why don't you die with her?"

After saying that, he hung up the phone and blocked the number.

On the other side, in the dimly lit warehouse, Zhao Ke, with a bruised and swollen face and her hands tied behind her back, was stunned when she heard those words.

Beside him, Mu Liangyue, who had just woken up, trembled slightly, and a tear rolled into the soil.
