At 7:30 pm, it was still very bright at the Lu Residence. The lights at the porch and in the living room were on.

The two of them were still at the door, but they could already hear a middle-aged woman’s voice coming from inside. She was talking about the dishes today that did not suit her appetite at all.

Lu Xiu sighed. “I could hear my mother’s voice. She will definitely say some unpleasant words to you again. Just like previously, just pretend that you didn’t hear it.”

Lu Qi just nodded.

He was already used to it.

The two of them walked into the living room side by side. The middle-aged woman sitting on the sofa in the living room immediately raised her head.

“Lu Xiu, you’re back. Why are you so late? Have you eaten? Do you want me to get the hotel to send over some takeout?”

The person who spoke was Lu Xiu’s mother, Qian Xin.

Old Master Lu had three sons. The eldest son was called Lu Jiang and he was Lu Qi’s father. The second son was called Lu Hai and he was Lu Xiu’s father. Lu Hai’s wife was Qian Xin.

The third son was called Lu Liu. He had been doing business overseas and rarely returned to the country. Lu Liu and his wife had tried for many years but were unable to give birth to a child. Thus they adopted a daughter who was now living overseas with them.

Lu Qi’s father, Lu Jiang, and his mother, Nan Jia, had a car accident when Lu Qi was 13 years old. The entire car crashed down the cliff. The search and rescue team searched for a month at the foot of the mountain, but they were unable to find their bodies. From then on, lu Qi became an orphan.

Without his parents’ love, Lu Qi lost his protection in the Lu family and was bullied all the time.

When Lu Jiang and Nan Jia were still alive, Old Master Lu loved Lu Qi very much. Qian Xin had always been jealous of Lu Qi.

When Lu Jiang and his wife passed away and Old Master Lu became demented, she had been mocking Lu Qi in public as well as behind him.

“Mom, I’ve eaten in the office. Don’t make yourself busy.”

Lu Xiu comforted his mother.

There was no one else in the living room. The Lu Residence, which used to be bustling with people, was now desolated.

It was not easy for his son to come home. Qian Xin pulled Lu Xiu aside and wanted to talk to him.

Lu Qi politely greeted Qian Xin and was about to go upstairs.

The Lu Residence had three floors. Lu Qi’s room was moved to the guest room when he was 13 years old. Of course, this was not agreed by Lu Qi. After Lu Qi attended his parents’ funeral, he came back to find that his room had been moved from the second floor to the third floor.

“Why are you eating in the office again? You’re too busy. It’s been hard on you. The entire Lu Enterprise needs you to support on your own!”

Qian Xin’s voice was not soft, or perhaps she was deliberately speaking so loudly for Lu Qi to hear.
