After hearing Mu Qian's words, Lu Yujiang's expression turned extremely ugly.
Mu Qian looked at his expression, laughed again, and said: "As a girl grows up, it is normal to have a sweetheart. She will fall in love and get married sooner or later. Mr. Lu, you should also learn to accept it.
You can't just keep her by your side for the rest of your life, right?"
Lu Yujiang still maintained his composure on the surface, but his eyes were extremely cold.
He glanced at Mu Qian seriously, then passed her and went straight upstairs.
Mu Qian did not stop him, but just turned around and followed him, and continued: "This is indeed a very real problem. Most fathers will be reluctant to let their daughters leave. Although you are not Lu Ran's biological father
, but the love you have given her for so many years in raising her must be very deep, and the relationship between father and daughter must be very deep. I can understand your feelings, but it’s just that women are not allowed to stay in college——"
Lu Yujiang suddenly turned around, looked at her, and gritted his teeth and uttered two words: "Shut up."
When Mu Qian heard this, she actually pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Further forward was the door leading to the terrace. Lu Yujiang took a few steps forward and suddenly heard Lu Ran's voice——
"I like you, then will you like me?"
Her voice was innocent and charming, and her tone was clearly ignorant, but it contained expectations.
Lu Yujiang suddenly stopped.
Mu Qian vaguely saw that his hands slowly clenched into fists.
A moment later, Huo Jinbei's calm voice came from outside again: "Sorry, I have someone I like."
It suddenly became quiet outside, and at this moment, Lu Yujiang walked out quickly and shouted softly: "Ranran!"
Lu Ran was still holding Huo Jinbei's hand. She was probably stimulated by Huo Jinbei's answer. Her face was slightly startled. She obviously hadn't recovered yet, but she suddenly heard Lu Yujiang's voice and was startled.
, stood up in an instant, and shouted a little dullly: "Uncle."
Lu Yujiang glanced at Huo Jinbei with a heavy gaze, and then said to Lu Ran: "Come here."
Lu Ran took two steps toward him stiffly, then he seemed to react again, and turned to look at Huo Jinbei, who was still sitting where he was. For a moment, his eyes became a little sad.
"Ranran!" Lu Yujiang shouted again.
Mu Qian walked out from behind him at the right time, stepped forward and grabbed Lu Ran's hand, and then said to him: "Mr. Lu, now Lu Ran is broken up in love. In this case, I think if you are so strict, you will make things worse."
The worse it is, let me talk to her!"
Mu Qian pulled Lu Ran and was about to leave the terrace. Lu Yujiang suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Ran's other hand. However, when Lu Ran raised his eyes, his eyes were red.
Lu and Jiang's hands involuntarily let go, and Mu Qian took the opportunity to pull Lu Ran away.
Suddenly there were only two men left on the terrace. Huo Jinbei stood up slowly. After looking at Lu Yujiang for a while, he stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Lu Yujiang? Hello, I am Huo Jinbei.
.”
Lu Yujiang just glanced at him, curled his lips slightly, turned around and walked away.
Huo Jinbei retracted his hand without much reaction. He raised his eyes and watched Lu Yujiang leave quietly, always looking cool and calm.
…
Mu Qian took Lu Ran back to her room. Lu Ran still hadn't come back to his senses. He was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, his eyes straight.
Mu Qian asked her aunt to bring up a cup of hot chocolate and handed it to Lu Ran's hand, "If you are in a bad mood, drink something sweet and you will feel better."
Lu Ran held the cup she handed over and raised his head with some panic, "He said...he has someone he likes."
"That's so normal." Mu Qian said, "If you like someone, he will also like someone."
"But, but..." Lu Ran wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything for a long time. His eyes were getting redder and redder, and finally he just said, "Is this lovelorn?"
Mu Qian nodded and said, "This is the feeling of falling out of love. Every girl may experience this feeling."
Lu Ran raised his head to look at her again.
Mu Qian continued: "Your cousin has tasted it, all the girls you know who like him have tasted it, and now you have tasted it too. Isn't this normal?"
"Then have you ever been lovelorn?"
Mu Qian paused for a moment, then nodded, "Of course I made a mistake. It happened more than once."
Lu Ran looked at her blankly, "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts a lot." Mu Qian said, "It hurts beyond belief. It must be more painful than you are now."
Lu Ran suddenly stood up and took two steps closer to Mu Qian, as if observing her, "Then how did you get better?"
"Time, or a new love."
Lu Ran hesitated again, "I won't like others."
"No one can stop you from liking him." Mu Qian said, "You can continue to like him. Maybe one day, he will be moved by you, or you will gradually give up on him and forget about him."
"I won't!" Lu Ran said decisively.
"Well, I believe it." Mu Qian said, "But these are things for the future. The most important thing right now is that you can't just be knocked down, right? You still have to rely on yourself to choose which method to stand up."
Lu Ran nodded suddenly.
Mu Qian looked at her and couldn't help but laugh.
…
That night at the Huo family dining table, there was indeed a lively atmosphere rarely seen on weekdays.
As soon as Mr. Huo sat down, he started chatting with Lu Yuchuan and Lu Yujiang.
Huo Jinbei had just walked out of the bathroom when he bumped into Mu Qian and Lu Ran coming down from upstairs.
As soon as he saw him, Lu Ran seemed to pause slightly, but the next moment he quickly stepped forward, grabbed his hand with force, and said like an oath, "Although you don't like me now, I will always like you!"
Huo Jinbei suddenly turned to look at Mu Qian.
Mu Qian quickly raised her hands, "I didn't teach you."
Huo Jinbei turned his head and sat down at the dining table without saying a word.
Lu Ran was about to sit down against him when he suddenly heard Lu Yujiang's deep and cold voice: "Ran Ran, sit over here."
Lu Ran paused, looked at Huo Jinbei, then at Lu Yu Jiang, obviously unable to choose.
"The third child." Lu Yuchuan said, "If you rarely go out, don't discipline Lu Ran so tightly. Let her sit where she likes to sit, and let them young people chat more. If you are interested in Lu Ran,
benefit."
Lu Yujiang listened and said: "Lu Ran has a simple temper. Second brother, it's okay if you don't discipline your daughter. But if Lu Ran sets something on fire and robs others of learning, then whose fault is it?"
"Set fires and rob people?" Mu Qian immediately answered, "Are you talking about me? How could I do such a thing!"
Lu Yujiang sneered.
The next moment, Mu Qian seemed to remember something, "Oh, when I went to Lu's house today, I saw a tree behind a house that was very annoying. I got very angry when I saw it, so I couldn't help but burn it. Lu San
Sir, your house didn't burn down because of this tree, did it? Then I didn't mean it. As for Lu Ran, she is an adult. I took her out as one of my own, so how could it be a robbery?
People? If you go to the police station to report the case, the police won’t open the case!"
Hearing this, Lu Yujiang said slowly: "You can burn the trees of my Lu family if you want, and you can take away the people of my Lu family if you want to take them away?"
Mu Qian suddenly raised her eyes, her eyes wandered back and forth between Lu Yuchuan and Lu Yujiang for a moment, and then said: "Oh, I forgot, it turns out that I am an outsider in the Lu family. Then I will surrender to the police station immediately and commit criminal damage."
Adding kidnapping, are these two crimes enough?"
As Mu Qian spoke, he stood up.
"Nonsense!" Lu Yuchuan suddenly said, "I said, the Lu family is your home, who dares to say that you are an outsider."
Mu Qian suddenly pointed at Lu Yujiang.
"Your third uncle has no sense of humor. Don't joke with him." Lu Yuchuan said, "Burning a tree in your own home and taking someone out with you is nothing."
After Lu Yujiang heard this, he sneered again.
"Then next time I'm in a bad mood, I'll just burn the house down." Mu Qian said.
"If you burn down your own land and house, I will rebuild it for you." Lu Yuchuan replied.
When Mu Qian heard this, she burst out laughing. When she raised her eyes to look at Lu Yuchuan, the smile in her eyes had not faded.
Lu Yuchuan seemed to be in a good mood instantly. After personally adding a glass of wine to Mr. Lu, he looked at Lu Yujiang and said, "You are a guest. Please relax and offer a glass of wine to Mr. Lu."
Even though Lu Yujiang's eyes were cold at the moment, after hearing Lu Yuchuan's words, he still picked up his wine glass and toasted to Mr. Huo.
When he put down the wine glass, he saw Lu Ran sitting next to Huo Jinbei, looking at Huo Jinbei from time to time, his eyes clearly still full of shyness and joy.
Lu Yujiang slowly sat down, his eyes swept over Huo Jinbei's cold face, and he calmly became a little darker.
