Lu's father and Lu's mother sat side by side on the sofa in the small living room, looking at Lu Jianyan and Yao Wuzai on the opposite sofa, like a pair of latex-painted lovers preparing to meet their parents, anxious and sweet, nervous and indescribable Come excited.
"I knew this day would come sooner or later. I knew it from the moment Yanyan walked in together holding Wuhai's hand and carrying a small schoolbag." Lu's mother, who was wearing casual home clothes, held her hands together. He folded his palms together and put it on his knees, with a heavy face, but what he said made Lu Jianyan stumble, feeling a little baffled.
"He should have reached this age a long time ago," Lu's father patted the back of his wife's hand with one hand, no matter how well-maintained it is. Does mom know?"
"..." At first, he thought he knew what his parents were going to say, but at this moment, Lu Jianyan was not so sure.
Why does this matter involve Yao Wuzai's parents? Aren't they talking about his parents
Yao Wuzang was possessed of drama every minute, and when he got on the brain circuit channel of Lu's parents, he said excitedly: "They can know now." After finishing speaking, he even pretended that he would give it to his parents Call up.
"Please, don't make trouble." Sister Lu walked in with a cup of hot cocoa filled with marshmallows in her hand. The thing in her hand was so sweet that she was the only one who could stand it. Sister Lu wore a ball head that didn't match her age and status, and wore a shawl with dots of dots. She didn't treat Yao Wuzhao as an outsider at all, otherwise she wouldn't be dressed like this. After entering, Sister Lu didn't sit down, but just looked at Yao Wuhai and said, "Would you mind going to the flower hall to talk to me for a while?"
"We were just joking—" Lu's mother shook her fluffy curly hair that was cut short recently. She and Lu Jianyan are both self-curly. Compared with Lu Jianyan's curly hair, which is not obvious, Lu's mother is a bit curly. , after she cut her hair short.
"—Relax the awkward atmosphere." Lu's father and Lu's mother have been husband and wife for many years, and they have a tacit understanding.
There were still three big question marks flashing on the top of Lu Jianyan's head. He already understood that his parents were supposed to be joking just now, but what kind of joke were they making
Yao Wuzai also knew that the Lu family's parents were joking, but she still expressed her appropriate loss in a full-fledged manner, and lowered her listless white hair, as if even her eyes had lost their color. But Yao Wuzai still cooperated with Sister Lu's invitation very much, and took her to the next door, and along the way, he could still hear their harmonious conversations that were drifting away.
"Your health is getting better and better."
"Yes, it's possible to walk for hours on your own without mechanical prosthetics today."
"But you still have to pay attention to protection, don't be careless."
"Well, the prosthetic is in the trunk of the suspension vehicle, and it can be taken out at any time."
The Lu family's suspension car has not yet been launched, but Yao Wuzhao has the ability to drive it into a concept car, just like Pikes Peak back then.
Lu Jianyan carried Yao Wuzai with him, obviously not because they were already close enough to be inseparable, but because Lu Jianyan wanted to use the guest of Yao Yao Wuzai as an excuse to dissuade his parents from mentioning the latest incident that everyone knew. He knew the idea of what happened, even if it was already an elephant in the room, everyone knew about it, but Lu Jianyan still hoped that everyone could continue to maintain a tacit silence.
It's a pity that Jiang is still old and spicy, Lu Jianyan has medicine without trouble, Lu's father and mother have sister Lu, she easily helps parents to pay for medicine without trouble.
Today, only the Lu family's parents and their son who has grown up to look up to are left in the small living room.
There are five members of the Lu family, and Lu Jianyan is undoubtedly the tallest among them.
Mother Lu is a typical southern woman, petite and exquisite, although many times it is easy for everyone to forget the difference in body shape because of her strong personality and vigorous style; Father Lu is not such a typical northern man, he wears clothes better than Mother Lu She is still tall after high heels, but that's all. Mother Lu's base is not too high. Brother Lu is very much like his parents. He is neither tall nor low among his peers, and the seat in the school is always in the middle.
But Lu Jianyan and Sister Lu are two outliers in the Lu family. They have stood out from the crowd in terms of academic performance and other aspects since they were young. They are slender and tall, with a golden ratio.
What should come will always come. Lu's mother told herself in her heart that this time, she was not kidding or avoiding the problem. She had been doing psychological construction for several months, she could do it, she was a mother, and she needed to tell her son the truth. Whether the truth is good or bad, she has no right to decide for her son whether he should know about it or not, her son is the one who has the right to make the decision.
Mother Lu changed her sitting position, took a deep breath, and then let out the turbid air and the last bit of timidity in her heart, and made up her mind to say to her son: "You must have a premonition, or I heard some gossip recently, so I don't care about it." Going around in circles with you..."
Father Lu put his hand on his wife's fragile back, wanting to be her source of support and strength.
But Mother Lu was still very nervous, even though she was sitting beside her most trusted husband and facing her favorite child. This is very unlike her. She shouldn't be so hesitant and hesitant. She thought she could do better than what she was doing now, but she didn't realize that she couldn't do it until the end of the day. Her voice seemed to have been poured into cement, it had solidified, and she couldn't utter any syllables.
In the end, it was Lu's father who saw his wife's abnormality, and decided to disregard the previous agreement with his wife and speak for his wife: "We called you because your mother wanted to tell you something about your identity..."
"You are not your father's son, but my ex-husband's!" Lu's mother finally picked up the words, and blurted out the key information in one go, but her face was not relaxed. Because this is not the most difficult part of confessing to her son, she still needs to explain a lot, too much, so much that she can hardly breathe.
Lu's mother had prepared a lot of manuscripts before, about her past, her entanglement with her ex-husband, why she chose to hide it, how she would confess it a few years later, and most importantly, although Lu Jianyan was not in everyone's expectations Born, but he was her and her husband's favorite, there was no question about that. Mother Lu belongs to the type who either doesn't say anything, or if she does, she will definitely make it clear. She doesn't want to give Gou Xue any chance to disrupt her perfect life.
Just telling her son about the past is like reopening a wound that she has healed, it hurts too much. Her parents told her when they were alive that sooner or later she would treat the past as a joke and tell it with a smile like a joke.
But for now, today is not this "sooner or later", she is still very painful and fragile, and she has become what she hates the most.
Just before Mother Lu was still thinking about how to continue speaking, Lu Jianyan interrupted her: "I know."
He knew everything, and Mother Lu didn't need to say anything.
Mother Lu didn't seem to have heard what her son said clearly. After scratching her messy hair, she finally mustered up the courage to say what she wanted: "I understand, it must be hard for you to accept this news suddenly. Yes, I also have a hard time accepting it. If I could, I wish I could take out the other half of your blood, and then completely turn you into the son of me and your father. In fact, you know? You are! Blood does not mean anything Stuff... wait, what did you just say?"
Lu's father and Lu's mother looked at Lu Jianyan in astonishment, their expressions were so exaggerated that even the wrinkles on their faces seemed to be flattened. Does Lu Jianyan know? How much do you know? How long have you known
"It's been a long time, so long that no matter how complicated emotions you think I will have, don't worry, because I have been entangled and passed by myself." Lu Jianyan was not comforting his parents, but was calmly narrating As a matter of fact, he has already carried such a shocking secret about the tasker, and it is not surprising to add a few more, "I know our family is a reorganized family, my sister is my father's daughter, and I am my mother's son. It's the cheap that sheds your common blood."
"You, how could you know?" Lu's mother was completely panicked, and she started to stumble when she spoke. She never told Lu Jianyan about this, in fact, she never even thought about telling Lu Jianyan about this.
"First of all, you and Dad are actually quite obvious."
Lu's father is obedient to Lu Jianyan, and Lu's mother indulges Lu's sister even more. On the contrary, the couple can control the youngest Lu Jianjian ruthlessly. why? Because although their love for the three children is the same, they are not sure that the children's love for them can also be consistent. They are too afraid of losing their children, so they have no bottom line principles for those who are not related by blood. It is a kind of flattery in disguise, and they want to use money to buy love.
You don't have to be so polite to brother Lu, you should beat him, you should scold him, because they know very well in their hearts that he is a child connected by their blood, and they are strict with him, and he will not be misunderstood by him as that they don't love him.
But facing Lu Jianyan and Sister Lu was different. They were afraid that a wrong look would cause the child to rebel.
"Secondly, my grandfather and grandmother told me this matter as a secret before they passed away." Obviously, this is the last wish of the two old people, and it is the most worrying thing in their hearts. The last thing they could do for their precious daughter their whole life.
They all expected what would happen today, so they decided to pave the way for the future for their daughter before they died, so that she could tear open her wounds without too much pain.
To love his son is to have far-reaching plans for him, nothing more than this.
Lu Jianyan's grandfather and grandmother told the story of Lu's mother from different angles, enough for Lu Jianyan to understand the whole picture, and he even felt that he might know many details better than his mother.
As we all know, Mother Lu once had a failed marriage, but what everyone doesn't know is how clichéd this marriage is.
As the only female heir of the Lu family in Wu County, mother Lu's marriage problem has become a top priority for all family members since she was very young.
The family members are afraid that the future son-in-law will turn against the guests and embezzle the Lu family of Wu County.
The grandfather and grandmother of the Lu family were afraid that their favorite girl would not get everything a normal little girl should get, such as happiness, family, marriage and so on.
So in the end, the grandparents listened to the fallacies of others and did something that sounded like nonsense—they adopted a boy from the orphanage who looked very good in everything, named him Liu En, and let him Became their daughter's foster-husband, inverting the door, or a spare tire, whatever others call this relationship.
Before adopting him, his grandparents made it very clear to Liu En that they adopted him and gave him a life like a little prince and a bright future. All of these were conditional, that is, Liu En must be unconditionally loyal and loving. their daughter.
If their daughter grows up to like Liu En, then they will get married and jointly own everything in the Lu family of Wu County; if their daughter doesn't like Liu En when they grow up, then Liu En will hand over their daughter to pursue their own happiness , but he can't just leave by himself, he will always wait for her in the same place, in case her future marriage is unlucky.
All in all, Lu Jianyan's grandparents naively wanted to create a perfect emotional future for their daughter.
But if people's emotions were so easy to control, then there wouldn't be so many tragedies in this world.
Lu Jianyan's grandparents did not force others to do so. Before adopting, they set all the conditions for the adopters. At that time, Liu En was not the only child candidate, and other children were equally good, both male and female, but some refused. Some people chose to accept this condition, and Liu En was the latter.
"This is the most stupid decision I've ever made in my life." Before his death, his grandfather said to Lu Jianyan in tears. The old man who has never cried in his life, and is speculated to straighten his spine even when he sleeps, is on the hospital bed, relying on a ventilator, crying to his grandson who is still in school like a child who is at a loss, " What I regret most is that my stupid decision did not harm me, but my only child."
This is also one of the reasons why Lu Jianyan understands how old man Du Shenyan regretted the death of his second son in the game. He had already experienced similar things many years ago.
On a certain afternoon when school was dismissed early and there was no self-study class, his grandfather revealed to him this secret that had been hidden for many years.
The most painful thing for a short-term protector is probably to make him realize that it is because of his self-righteousness that he has harmed the person he loves the most.
"Don't look at your mother now, in fact she used to be the most obedient, gentle and quiet, just like a restrained water lily, the most beautiful appearance in the world you can see." Grandma said before her death Recalling with Lu Jianyan, "It's not because she is my daughter, so I added a filter to her, but she is really so well-behaved, and she has never rebelled once."
Mother Lu's obedience is not only reflected in her studies, making friends, and filial piety to her parents, but also in that she is different from most ancient romantic routines. She grew up in a regular manner, and she was not dissatisfied with her parents' overly careful love for her, nor deviant She fell in love with some domineering president, but just like her parents expected, she hoped to fall in love with Liu En, who was her childhood sweetheart and knew everything.
At least, Mother Lu thought she knew Liu En well.
Liu En came to their house when she was very young, and has always treated her very well, just like treating a princess. She likes to be treated so preciously and seriously.
Who would have known that Liu En was a treacherous villain, who had harbored evil intentions for many years, had already secretly hooked up with others, not to mention, and wanted to evacuate the already declining Wujun Lu family. He even justified his arguments, thinking that he is the victim, he is also a human being with his own feelings, why should he be tied to a delicate young lady for the rest of his life, and become a dog who comes and goes when she wants
However, Liu En completely forgot that he was the one who chose to take this path back then, and no one forced him. got this spot.
Liu En used to cherish this opportunity so much, he liked the huge and ancient Lu family, and liked the sweet and pleasant Miss Lu family, but people's hearts are changeable, and so is Liu En. He is no longer grateful for everything he has received, and feels that these are all taken for granted, that the Lu family owes him. He not only wants to get everything, but also takes revenge on the Lu family.
The target of revenge was Mother Lu who was naive and innocent at the time.
No one is born with a strong, cold and unreasonable appearance. Most of the time they are like this, just because they have to. The past suffering has made them understand that they can only rely on themselves.
After discovering Liu En's conspiracy, Lu's mother grew up instantly in just one night.
Liu En thought that Lu's mother would always be a controllable little daughter, even if she found out the truth, it was not enough to prove it. They were already married, and Lu's mother didn't care much about the company's management. What could she do
Facts have proved that there are many things Lu's mother can do, and she does not have the so-called ignorant idea that she is the other person when she gets married.
Never underestimate the vengeance of a Scorpio.
Lu's mother quickly took photos of Liu En's cheating, filed a petition for divorce, and secretly collected evidence of Liu En's financial dealings, preparing to go to court with Liu En, which made Liu En extremely embarrassed.
If Liu En's foreign lover hadn't helped him in the end and took him out of the country overnight, Liu En's fate would have been even worse.
But even if Liu En is punished, it will not make any sense to the Lu family in Wu County, who are in a worse situation. Mother Lu wakes up too late. But she still did not give up, and has been actively contacting, trying to save the family from danger.
It was at this time that Mother Lu met Father Lu who was divorced. Father Lu's ex-wife abused his own daughter so much that Father Lu was terrified of women, and he dared not find someone to make do with. But it's impossible not to find someone. His parents don't dote on their children like Lu's mother's parents.
At a certain banquet, Lu's father and Lu's mother hit it off just like that.
At that time, mother Lu decided not to believe any nonsense about marrying love, and father Lu needed a perfect marriage partner with a good brain. At that time, they had no feelings for each other at all. They were more like two partners who were satisfied with each other. They wanted to revive the already decayed Erlu. They even wanted to hide the parents of both parties after the wedding so that they could continue. Each has its own future planned.
As a result, when everything was going in a good direction, Mother Lu's life was once again made a huge joke by God, and she found out that she was pregnant.
The pregnancy was obviously from her ex-husband, probably because everything happened too fast before, which exhausted Mother Lu, and at the same time she lost a lot of weight, and she didn't realize the changes that happened to her at all.
This made Lu's mother's hard-earned confidence almost collapse. She didn't know whether she should keep the child, or kill him, and pretend nothing happened to marry Lu's father. She hated her ex-husband so much that she didn't want to have any more relationship with him.
Lu's mother found so many reasons for herself that she should kill this child and not let him ruin her life.
But in the end, when the first ray of dawn shone into the room, Mother Lu, who had thought about it all night, still decided to keep the baby in her belly.
Even if her future will become more difficult because of this, even if she hates the other half of the child's blood provider so much, he is her child and it is her responsibility.
As long as she thinks that the life of a little angel like Lu Jianci is in her hands, she will not be able to harden her heart no matter what. She has always, always remembered that Lu Jianci, who was still young, cried and asked her, why my mother doesn't love me, are you willing to be a new mother who loves me
Lu's mother didn't know how to answer Lu Jianci at that time, why your mother could be so cruel to you.
But now she can answer, at least she will not become another cruel mother.
So, in the terrible situation that was already besieged on all sides, Mother Lu made a decision that seemed crazy to others—she wanted to break off the engagement and leave the child behind.
But after Lu's father knew the truth, he admired Lu's mother even more. He felt that Lu's mother was in sharp contrast with his ex-wife who gave his child sleeping pills just because the child was noisy. Therefore, Lu's father said to Lu's mother: "I don't see at all that this child who is about to be born has nothing to do with whether we are married or not."
Lu's mother is a lunatic, and Lu's father will only be crazier than her, even if Lu's father looks so rational and refined.
"Do you want to be a father so much?" Lu's mother was still trying to persuade Lu's father to give up this idea. He is a good person, so she can't cheat him.
"To be honest, yes, Jian Ci will like this child. She needs a little partner to accompany her out of the shadow of the past."
Therefore, a supplementary agreement was added to the marriage contract between Lu's father and Lu's mother. If Lu's mother could guarantee that she would treat Lu Jian as her own, then Lu's father would also love Lu Jianyan to the bottom of his heart.
Lu's mother held a wedding with Lu's father in such a hurry.
Everyone knew that they were married with a child, but they didn't know that the child was not actually Lu's father. Only Lu's father's parents and Lu's mother's parents knew about this, so the rigid parents of Lu's father would rather leave the Lu family in Hanoi to Sister Lu as a girl, and did not mention Lu Jianyan, the eldest grandson.
Although the grandparents later thought about amending the will and letting younger brother Lu inherit the Lu family in Hanoi, at that time the Lu family was no longer something they could talk to.
Sister Lu witnessed Lu Jianyan's birth all the way. In order to cover up the child's monthly issue, Lu's mother was Lu Jianyan who went abroad to give birth, and blurred the information for several months. Sister Lu knew that this brother was not her real brother, but so what? At that time, it was that kind of family again. Lu Jianyan, who was not related by blood, gave Sister Lu, who was already a little cautious, a sense of security. She is her father's only heir.
Lu's father and Lu's mother treated each other's children well at the beginning, it was just an exchange condition, just like their marriage.
But people's hearts are really difficult to grasp something. When habits become natural, the more they pay for their children, the more they will sincerely like that child who has nothing to do with them. They finally love each other and become A truly happy couple.
"I won't forgive that scumbag who abandoned our mother and son," Lu Jianyan firmly assured his mother of his position. He knew exactly who was calling him during this time, and it was because he knew, so It will be even more disgusting, "He is not my father, at most he is a sperm provider. My parents are you, and you will always be the only ones. No matter what he wants to do or what excuses he has, I will not listen."
"Thank God." Lu's mother finally smiled. She also meant that she didn't want her son to see that scumbag. out of rhythm.
Lu Jianyan was taken aback: "I thought you were going to persuade me..."
"I'm not such a virgin." Mother Lu will never forgive Liu En in her life.
Lu Jianyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, if he had known his mother's attitude earlier, then why would he have been hiding before. He could harden his heart to anyone, he could kill Liu En and deny Liu En. The only thing he was afraid of was that his parents would be softhearted and beg him to forgive Liu En.
Fortunately, his mother was always so unconventional.
Lu's mother would not pretend to be generous and say to Lu Jianyan, that man is your father after all, you should recognize him or something, she would just put everything in the past in front of Lu Jianyan, and then tell him , I hate Liu En, this hatred is mortal, and it is impossible to unravel it in this life. If you want to see him, I won't stop you, you have the right, but I have to say, I don't want you to see him, never will.
The misunderstanding was resolved, and Lu Jianyan happily took Yao Wuzai to stay at home for a night. Lu's mother was undoubtedly the happiest one at the dinner table, and her whole body exuded a sense of relief.
Father Lu kept pushing his glasses, trying to hide something.
In the evening, after everyone went to rest, Father Lu rang the holographic pod where Lu Jianyan was playing. Lu's father and Lu's mother also have holographic cabins, but Lu Jianyan feels that they don't use them often, and when people get old, they are always slower to accept new things. Now these two holographic cabins happen to be used by Lu Jianyan and Yao Wuzhe to play in the world.
"Father?" Lu Jianyan started from the holographic cabin, and the ice-blue nutrient solution covering his body was instantly wiped off, as if it had never existed.
"Do you mind if we just chat like this for a while?" Father Lu moved a chair and sat next to the holographic cabin, looking at Lu Jianyan who was sitting up.
"Okay." Lu Jianyan nodded, completely unprepared for what his father was going to say to him, because he thought that Lu's father would definitely not be involved in this matter. He meant that, after all, in this matter, Lu's father's identity is quite embarrassing, and it's not appropriate to say anything, so it's better not to say anything. Just like Lu's mother would never interrupt when others talked about Lu's father's ex-wife, she would never say anything about Lu's biological mother in front of Lu's sister, because she was afraid that Lu's sister would be sad.
Sometimes Mother Lu would rather let Sister Lu believe that Sister Lu's biological mother actually loved Sister Lu. Because this is her spoiled princess, how can anyone in the world not like her? nonexistent! She is so smart, so capable, so perfect, everyone will like her, without exception!
Father Lu thinks the same about Lu Jianyan. This is the best son in the world, and everyone should like his son.
Even a scumbag like Liu En.
"I have to let you know that when Liu En left, he didn't know that your mother was pregnant." Strictly speaking, it was Lu's mother who Liu En abandoned, not mother and child. If he knew of Lu Jianyan's existence, no one knew how he would choose. It was only recently that Liu En found out that Lu Jianyan was his son, so Liu En chose to return to China, desperate to see his son.
"... This doesn't sound like something you would say." Lu Jianyan was stunned for a long time, he thought the topic was over, and he never thought that Father Lu would suddenly continue.
"It's really not like that," Lu's father sighed, "If possible, I don't want you to know your identity more than your mother, and I even hate Liu En more than your mother. I'm afraid he will come and snatch you away from me. "He has poured countless efforts into raising his son, why should he let him be handed over to others
"I'm not an item, I have my own judgment, and I won't be snatched away." Lu Jianyan couldn't laugh or cry, but was still happy because of his father's straightforward family love.
They are so lucky that there is no barrier between father and son because of this Liu En who jumped out suddenly.
"I know. That's why I'm going to tell you these things that my character would never say under normal circumstances. I don't want you to regret later that I didn't say these things today."
Lu's mother can take it for granted that Lu Jianyan said, I hate your biological father, he is a despicable person, but Lu's father can't.
"Why should I regret it?" Lu Jianyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Liu En is about to die." It seems that evil people will eventually have evil rewards. Lu's father and Lu's mother, who are of Liu En's generation, are still alive and well, at most they are middle-aged, but Liu En has already suffered from a terminal illness. He didn't even have the strength to sit up, and he had to pant five times to say three sentences. There was no exaggeration, and it wasn't acting. Father Lu deliberately changed several channels to inquire about the same thing, just to verify the truth.
Lu Jianyan smiled: "There are so many people dying of terminal illness every day in the world, why should I regret because a stranger is about to die? I sympathize with terminally ill people, but that's all, I'm not a god Lamp, you don’t need to be responsible for other people’s wishes.”
Lu's father was also amused by Lu Jianyan's metaphor, but he continued to say what he had written: "He threatened me that if you don't let you know the truth and don't go to see him, he will desperately reveal who you are son."
"I don't care!" Lu Jianyan said without thinking. With his current status, how could he care about the little gossip about blood relationship.
"But I care!" Dad Lu abandoned his handsome side for the first time, and his palms were about to be scratched by himself, "I care, I hope that in the eyes of others, you are my son, just me and your mother. Son." Even though he knew it was just a false name, it was precisely because of the complicated relationship between them that Father Lu cared more about this false name.
"He's disgusting!" Lu Jianyan finally got angry. He didn't care about Liu En, but he cared about Father Lu.
"I know." But it was precisely because of Liu En's almost desperate disregard that Lu's father realized that maybe Liu En also cared about Lu Jianyan's son very much. In order to see Lu Jianyan, Liu En would do whatever it took. If Liu En only threatened Lu's father, he would not compromise easily, because Lu's father was afraid that Lu Jianyan would be hurt, but if Liu En had no ill intentions towards Lu Jianyan, then... "If it were me, I would probably make the same choice. "
Lu Jianyan didn't understand his father very well.
"Because you are so good. Even if you are called mean or disgusting, who would want to lose such a wonderful son like you?" At least Father Lu didn't want to.
Lu Jianyan stared at Father Lu helplessly. He already knew that Father Lu was the softer one of his parents. When he was young, Father Lu was more verbose than his mother. Mom is better at conquering. There is a grassland above his head, and he can still persuade his son to meet his biological father. You are such a holy father, does my mother know
"She knows." Father Lu saw what Lu Jianyan was thinking at a glance. But if it weren't for Father Lu's personality, he wouldn't have married Mother Lu back then, and they would have the happy family they have today.
In the end, Lu Jianyan could only compromise, just like what he was afraid of before, his parents were his weakness: "Okay, I will go to see him, but it's only for this side, this is not an example."
