Chapter 61: I Just Want to Hug You Like This

Song Ci sneered.

"Hehe. Is this how you treat your true love? You don't cherish something when it's in your palms, do you?"

Song Ci gave Lu Gan a fake smile, a sign that she was done with this conversation.

Lu Gan was about to say something when his phone rang again. Once again, it was Lu Hongyong. He answered the call and said expressionlessly, "Is there something else you'd like to talk about?"

Lu Hongyong adjusted to a calmer tone and said, "If you have time, can you come back? There are some matters that need to be discussed. Your presence is required."

"What matters?"

Lu Gan's tone was flat.

Lu Hongyong was silent for a moment.

"It's about the position of general manager in Lu Corporation. I wanted to appoint you, but you haven't shown up in the company for almost two months. Thus, I have no choice. It's time to choose another candidate for this position. I can't keep delaying."

Upon hearing this, Lu Gan's eyes instantly darkened.

"I understand."

Lu Hongyong added, "By the way, bring Little Suo along. I miss him."

Lu Gan hung up the phone and was silent for a long time.

...

"Do you want me to go with you?"

Song Ci was a little worried.

A calm expression appeared on Lu Gan's face again. He smiled gently.

"Are you going to be accompanying Little Suo?"

Song Ci nodded.

"I'll bring Yujin along too. Your father hasn't met him yet."

Lu Gan said honestly, "You already know the situation, right? I'll tell my father to be more careful with his words, but you still have to be prepared. My words might be inappropriate and Yujin may feel uncomfortable. Regardless, it's not a good idea to leave him alone at home…"

"Yes."

Song Ci nodded.

She did not expect Lu Gan to be so attentive. The latter was right. If Song Yujin was left alone, it would make him feel like he was not part of the family.

Song Ci looked at the time. Song Yujin was about to finish school. She said gently, "From tomorrow onwards, I will pick up Little Suo first, then Yujin."

Lu Gan was confused, but he did not respond.

Song Ci's tone was sweet.

"We are married and I am Little Suo's mother now. So, I can't just pick up Yujin. It would be unfair to Little Suo."

Lu Gan was so attentive to her. Naturally, she had to do the same.

On the other hand, Lu Gan did not expect Song Ci to take on the role of a mother so quickly. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Yujin is your only younger brother. It's normal for you to favor him."

"I admit that I do favor Yujin a little more, but I can't just blatantly side with him. Otherwise, there will be a gap between us and we can never be a real family. Both children should be loved. Since I'm married to you, I will do my best to take care of your child and vice versa. Yujin is my younger brother, but the difference in our age is too great. Therefore, I treat him as a child too."

Song Ci said calmly.

Before their marriage, Lu Gan was extremely worried about Song Ci's relationship with Lu Suo. He had to take care of the little boy and ensured he grew up safely. After all, Lu Suo was the closest and most precious person to him. He did not care that Song Ci had other issues. As long as she treated Lu Suo well, that was all that mattered. This was also one of the few prenuptial agreements he had with Song Ci.

After listening to her words, Lu Gan felt relieved. In the past, he had been thinking too much. Song Ci was a completely different person than he had expected. He was happy to meet her. Everything she did had benefited him. She really was like a gift from heaven.

Lu Gan adjusted the direction of his wheelchair and headed towards Song Ci. He suddenly looked happy.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Gan waved his hand, an indication for her to come closer.

Song Ci did not think much and leaned over.

Unexpectedly, Lu Gan reached out and hugged her.

Song Ci was surprised.

He said gently, "If I could stand up, I would definitely be the one to come over. I'm sorry that you have to accommodate me like this. It's the only way I can embrace you."

Chapter 62: Don't Be Angry

?

Song Ci's face immediately turned red. Her voice sounded gentle and shy as she asked, "Why did you hug me out of nowhere?"

Lu Gan let go and looked at Song Ci's crimson face. His eyes were filled with tenderness.

"I just felt that you're adorable."

For a moment, Song Ci did not know how to respond. Nonetheless, she was touched. She said in a low voice, "I'm going to pick up Yujin."

Lu Gan looked at her back as she left and smiled. His wife was really innocent. Her words were snarky but whenever he touched her, she would turn red. It was really cute.

Song Yujin was surprised to see Song Ci after school. Lu Gan's chauffeur was supposed to pick him up today. However, Song Yujin did not say anything and just walked toward Song Ci.

"I want to eat some cake. Yujin, you'll accompany me to buy one."

Song Ci said as he held her little brother's hand.

Song Yujin did not have any objections. He nodded.

In reality, Song Ci picked up Song Yujin today because there was something she wanted to discuss with him. It was nothing big. She just wanted Song Yujin to be informed.

"Uncle Lu and I are married. We're legally husband and wife."

...

"Oh."

As always, Song Yujin's expression was calm.

Song Ci observed him carefully. Since his emotions did not fluctuate, she continued, "Uncle Lu is now your brother-in-law. I am also Little Suo's mother. From now on, I will also be sending and picking him up from school. I'll treat him like how I treat you. Simultaneously, your brother-in-law will treat you like how he treats Little Suo. It's like having two parents protecting you. Are you alright with that?"

"Yea."

Song Yujin said calmly.

Song Ci reassured, "Of course, I still favor you the most."

Upon hearing that, Song Yujin's eyes appeared to be a little more emotional. He raised his head and looked at Song Ci.

"It's fine if you favor Little Suo more. Everyone likes a well-behaved child."

Besides, she did not even like him in the first place, right?

Song Ci did not expect to receive such an answer.

She said in a surprised tone, "You don't believe me?"

After everything they had been through in the past, it was true that Song Yujin did not trust Song Ci. Even though he was her younger brother, he was still an eyesore. Moreover, Lu Suo was very likable. He was cute and smart. It would not be weird for Song Ci to favor him.

Song Yujin said calmly, "Lu Suo is very cute. It's only natural for you to like him more."

Song Ci felt that Song Yujin was too heartless!

"Have you forgotten how kind I've been to you? Do you not care about me at all? I really favor you the most. Yet, you're trying to push me away!"

After saying that, Song Ci deliberately turned her head away and pretended to be angry.

Song Yujin had not seen her angry face for a long time because they had been getting along quite well recently. Past memories began to fill his head, such as Song Ci's bad temper and her insults. However, Song Yujin was not afraid of these things. As long as he suppressed his emotions, everything would be fine. Still, if they could get along, things would be better. It was not like he wanted to hate Song Ci every day.

Song Ci had really changed and he did not want her to revert back.

Song Yujin blinked. For the first time, he was worried. Now that he had made her angry, what should he do? Why was Song Ci even angry in the first place? He did not understand. Did he say something wrong? Lu Suo was really more likable than him.

His sister was still not looking at him. He hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "Mom said that everyone likes cute and obedient children."

Song Ci noticed that he was secretly observing her. She wanted to see what Song Yujin would do next, so she continued to ignore him.

"I'm not obedient or cute."

Song Yujin's voice was calm.

"That's why I said it's normal for you to favor Little Suo more. I'm just not likable. It has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, he looked at Song Ci and waved at her.

Song Ci never thought that she would receive such treatment. She slowly bent down.

Chapter 63: Laughable Person

?

Song Yujin tip-toed and raised his hand to touch her head. His voice was unusually gentle.

"Don't be angry, okay? Be good."

He looked at Song Ci with a sincere and soft gaze. Song Yujin did not want her to stay angry. So, he tried imitating Song Ci's way of coaxing him and used it against herself.

Song Ci looked at him. She never expected such a scenario to happen. Song Yujin was much gentler than she had imagined. It was great. This world was changing because of her. Even the cold male lead's voice had warmth.

Song Ci reached out and held Song Yujin's hand.

"Everyone is different in this world. We have our own characteristics and personalities. To me, you're very cute, obedient, and sensible. I'm also happy to have you as my younger brother."

Song Yujin was surprised.

"But mom said children like me are not very likable..."

"Mom was wrong. Just be yourself. That's enough."

Song Ci understood that Kong Chuyun's had no bad intentions. Song Yujin was naturally cold and indifferent. Kong Chuyun just wanted him to be like any other ordinary child. That way, he could make friends and become more outgoing.

Song Yujin was confused and surprised at the same time.

"There's nothing wrong with you. Mom's thoughts only speak for herself. She can't represent everyone, especially me. Lead your life the way you want. Sooner or later, you'll meet like-minded people. For example, I may like durian while others don't. On the other hand, I dislike coriander but others do. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"

Song Ci felt sorry for the little boy.

Song Yujin looked at her quietly. Finally, he nodded.

"I understand."

"Don't feel inclined to be more like Little Suo. Even though I'm fond of him, I still favor you the most. You can also state this fact loudly and proudly if anyone asks," said Song Ci seriously as she rubbed Song Yujin's little face.

Song Yujin could not help but smile. Although his smile was not obvious, Song Ci still noticed it. Originally, Song Yujin did not care about these things because he was already numb from being hurt. Nonetheless, at this moment, he was still very young. His heart could still change. He might not expect love, but having it was obviously better!

Song Ci bent down and carried Song Yujin. His expression had already returned to normal.

"What's wrong?"

The little boy asked in a puzzled tone.

"Nothing. I just wanted to hug you since I haven't done it for a long time. Once you grow up, I won't be able to do it anymore," said Song Ci.

Song Yujin's eyes were immediately filled with disdain.

"You just hugged me yesterday."

Song Ci immediately dismissed him, "I don't remember."

Song Yujin sighed helplessly. His sister appeared to have a really bad memory. Nonetheless, he did not resist and just leaned into her arms.

The two of them bought some pastries and went home.

Lu Suo was leaning against Lu Gan's arms while watching cartoons. When he saw the siblings, he raised his little hand, indicating for them to come over.

"Try these pastries. They're very delicious."

Song Ci opened the package in her hand and handed it to Lu Suo.

Lu Suo ate one and handed another to Lu Gan.

After taking it, Lu Gan glanced at Song Ci. He did not ask why she refused the chauffeur today and only said, "Wash your hands. It's time to eat."

After their meal, Lu Jie arrived.

Song Ci instantly stood up and smiled. Then, she pushed Lu Gan's wheelchair so he could properly welcome his guest. Their wedding gifts had arrived.

Lu Jie had not visited Lu Gan's place often as their relationship was only average. In fact, he preferred interacting with Lu Heng. Unlike Lu Gan, Lu Heng was much more gentle and humble.

Whenever Lu Jie saw Lu Gan, he would feel unhappy. He was only happy to see him after the latter was crippled!

Chapter 64: Two Wedding Gifts

Lu Jie dusted off his clothes. Why would he be bothered by a disabled person? Lu Gan was already miserable enough. He had to be more magnanimous.

At this moment, Lu Gan was waiting for him on the balcony. Song Ci was beside him. She had a bright smile on her face. As she looked at the flowery courtyard outside the balcony, she said, "Maybe we should build a playground for Little Suo and Yu Jin."

Lu Gan had no objections at all.

"No problem."

"I'll ask them what they like later."

Just as Song Ci finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Lu Jie walked in.

The man had decent facial features and was wearing a pair of glasses. He looked somewhat similar to Lu Jingjing.

"Hello."

Song Ci said politely.

Lu Jie did not even bat an eyelid. Song Ci was quite good-looking and had a nice figure. Her smile was really lovely as well. No wonder Lu Gan was bewitched into marrying her. A crippled would think that she was a goddess as long as she spewed a few sweet words and used some techniques in bed.

"Hello," said Lu Jie with a smile,

"Please don't mind Jingjing's words. She's still young and didn't actually mean it."

Lu Gan sneered, "She's already 23. How could she still be so brainless at this age?"

Lu Jie looked embarrassed and lowered his head.

Lu Gan was lying lazily in his wheelchair. He had a contempt expression on his face. This was his usual attitude ever since the accident. The only difference was that he would usually look down on the other party but now that he was chairbound, he had to look up.

Thinking of this, Lu Jie immediately felt better. He did not care if Lu Gan mocked him. At the moment, there would be no difference if Lu Gan was dead or alive. So, why should he be concerned?

"Jingjing didn't know what to buy because you don't lack anything. Rather than guessing and buying random gifts that you may not like, I think it's better to give you cash. You can spend freely."

As Lu Jie said this, he took out two checks.

"This 99.99 (TN: 99 represents long-lasting in Chinese) million is Jingjing's wedding gift to you. The other 100 million is from me. May your marriage be loving and fulfilling."

Lu Gan raised his hand and calmly received the checks. Finally, a smile appeared on his face.

"You're better at talking than your sister. Thank you very much."

"You're welcome. We're family. It's natural for me to be concerned about you."

Lu Jie said with a smile.

Lu Gan looked at Lu Jie and said coldly, "I've already received your wedding gifts. Now get lost."

Lu Jie laughed softly and said helplessly, "Lu Gan, since you're married, you should act more mature. Otherwise, you'll hurt your wife's feelings."

Song Ci stroked her long hair slowly.

"Don't worry. Lu Gan treats me very well."

Lu Jie raised his head and looked at her like a considerate brother. He said gently, "Lu Gan's personality had been like this ever since he was young. He's arrogant and unbridled. I hope you can put up with him."

"Of course."

Song Ci said with a smile. Her red lips parted slightly.

"Besides, you're not me. How would you know what makes me happy?"

Lu Jie thought that Song Ci was only acting in front of Lu Gan. She was probably mocking him in her heart. Hence, he merely replied, "That's good."

When Lu Gan heard this, he just laughed lightly.

Originally, Lu Jie was trying to mock Lu Gan, but he noticed the latter was not even looking at was as if he did not even exist.

Lu Jie clenched his fists. His heart was filled with resentment. However, he still mustered up a gentle tone and said, "Then I'll be leaving now."

"Hurry up and scram."

Lu Gan said casually.

Lu Jie turned around and left. When he reached the end of the corridor, he saw Lu Suo.

The little boy was holding a glass of water. He was about to return to his room.

Lu Jie's expression immediately changed and he called out tenderly, "Little Suo."

Lu Suo turned around and said sweetly, "Third uncle."

Lu Jie bent down and patted his head.

"How are you doing recently?"

Lu Suo nodded.

"Did your father scold you?"

Lu Jie asked.

"No."

Lu Suo shook his head.

This was not the answer Lu Jie wanted. He was a little disappointed, so he continued to coax Lu Suo.

"Little Yang and the others went to an amusement park a few days ago. What about you? Would you like to go? I'll bring you there next time, okay?"

Chapter 65: So Impatient

Lu Suo shook his head.

"I need to do my homework."

"Don't be shy. I'll bring you there when you have time," said Lu Jie.

Lu Suo replied in a distressed tone, "I have no free time at all. There's so much homework. Being an adult is so nice. You guys have no homework."

Lu Jie smiled and said, "I'll find a teacher who will give you less homework. How about that?"

"No."

Lu Suo lowered his head and looked at his feet.

"If I don't do homework, I won't be considered an obedient child."

Lu Jie felt that Lu Suo was really just a kid.

"I understand. Regardless, if you ever want to go out and play, just call me. I'll take you wherever you want."

Lu Suo nodded.

"Okay."

Lu Jie touched his little face and said regretfully, "I wish you were my son. That way, I can bring you out and have fun at any time. After all, Lu Gan… He's unable to do much now…"

...

Upon hearing that, Lu Suo immediately raised his head and looked at Lu Jie. He stayed silent and only smiled gently.

"I'll be leaving first. See you next time."

"Okay,"

Lu Suo replied.

Once Lu Jie left, the smile on his face disappeared.

When Lu Suo found out that Lu Jie was visiting, he immediately went to Lu Gan's room and stood outside, hoping to eavesdrop. However, the adults were talking on the balcony. Hence, Lu Suo could only wander in the corridor while holding his glass of water. He wanted to know if Lu Jie spoke ill of his father. Whoever dared to hurt Lu Gan would suffer his wrath.

Lu Suo clenched the glass and returned to his room with a cold expression.

Meanwhile, Lu Gan handed the checks to Song Ci.

"Here."

"For me?"

Song Ci was surprised.

"Didn't you want the wedding gifts? They're all yours."

"Lu Jie and Lu Jingjing only forked these out because of you. Besides, it's too much. I can't accept them."

Song Ci pushed the checks away.

Lu Gan chuckled.

"It's only 200 million. How is that much?"

Song Ci was speechless. A regular person could never understand wealthy people's mindset!

Lu Gan placed the checks in her hand.

"I'm loaded, so I don't need them. Just treat it as your pocket money."

"Okay, I'll keep them for now. Let me know whenever you need it. By the way, I've made an appointment with Brother Yang to terminate my contract tomorrow."

Song Ci contemplated. To have this amount of money was quite exciting. After all, she had never led the life of a rich person.

Lu Gan nodded.

"Regarding the termination of your contract, do I need to come with you?"

"No."

Song Ci did not want to trouble him for anything.

"It'll only take a short time."

"Okay. Don't forget to tell Yujin about the upcoming trip. We'll be heading to my father's place the day after tomorrow."

"I will."

Song Ci replied.

Lu Gan continued with his work, so Song Ci did not disturb him. She went to find the two children and asked their opinions about the playground. Unexpectedly, they were completely indifferent! Song Ci did not understand them at all. Was she the only one who was excited to build a playground?

Song Ci went to the two children's room in high spirits but returned deflated. If she told Lu Gan what had happened, would he laugh at her? In the end, she just kept quiet!

Lu Gan went into the bathroom to take a shower and Song Ci picked up her phone. She began swiping it for a while. Suddenly, she thought of something and sat up abruptly. Yesterday, Lu Gan had said that he would grant her a wish, right?

Immediately after, Song Ci took her pajamas and went to shower in the guest room.

Before Lu Gan came out, she had already gone back to their room. Then, she sat on the bed to dry her hair.

Lu Gan changed into his pajamas and came out of the bathroom. Song Ci was wearing a white nightgown. She was drying her long hair while smiling at him. Her smile was very mischievous and her outfit was provocative.

"Why do you have that kind of expression on your face?"

Lu Gan asked suspiciously. He subconsciously covered his collarbone. It felt like Song Ci would pounce at him at any moment. She was like a fierce tigress!

Chapter 66: For My Skin

Song Ci blinked. Her tone was gentle and flirtatious.

"Darling, I've already showered and put on some fragrant body lotion."

"So?"

Lu Gan did not get any closer.

"Let's not waste any more time. It's time for you to give me what I want."

Song Ci winked at him and reached out.

"Just like we agreed yesterday morning..."

"..."

Was Song Ci that eager to have s*x with him?

Follow current novels on Freewebn(ov) .

Lu Gan smiled helplessly and pushed his wheelchair.

"Alright. Since you're so relentless, I'll definitely satisfy you. Just don't say that you're tired..."

Song Ci did not believe that Lu Gan would do anything drastic. She hooked the towel she was holding around his neck and moved closer. The breath she exhaled could be felt on his lips. Her voice sounded bewitching.

"Come..."

Song Ci sat on Lu Gan's lap in the bright room. Her hands moved around Lu Gan's shoulders. She also looked at him from top to bottom.

Lu Gan leaned against the bed.

"With that amount of strength, are you trying to strangle me to death?"

"How do you feel now, Master Lu?"

Song Ci asked after adjusting her strength.

"You're tickling me."

Lu Gan commented.

Song Ci gritted her teeth. She had no choice but to adjust her strength again.

"Is this better?"

"Not bad."

Master Lu was finally satisfied.

Song Ci had thought carefully about how to lead the process from start to end. She was already prepared. After all, this man could not move intensely.

Somehow, it only turned out to be a massage.

"This is not what we talked about yesterday, right?"

Song Ci said unhappily.

Lu Gan rested his arms on his back and raised his eyebrows.

"What do you mean?"

"You said that I'll get what I want!"

Song Ci was speechless.

"So what do you want?"

Lu Gan continued to ask.

"What else?"

Song Ci tried to maintain her composure.

"Tonight is our wedding night... You can be a beast… Temporarily"

"Giving me a massage for an hour isn't considered beastly? Then you can continue doing it for the entire night."

Song Ci did not want to say anything.

Lu Gan laughed.

"Believe me, this will turn out to be an unforgettable wedding night!"

Song Ci just pouted. She silently massaged his shoulders.

Lu Gan pinched her face and continued to enjoy himself.

Song Ci massaged his upper body and naturally moved towards the lower part. After pressing his legs, she subconsciously looked at Lu Gan. His eyes were still closed and it seemed like he was really enjoying himself. Song Ci hesitated for a moment before asking softly and cautiously, "Do you feel anything?"

Lu Gan immediately opened his eyes.

"No, I don't."

Song Ci expected him to react more dejectedly. His emotions barely fluctuated. Hence, she increased her strength.

"How about now?"

"You don't have to overdo it. I can't feel anything."

Lu Gan said in a low voice.

Song Ci lowered her eyes and did not utter another word.

Lu Gan could not bear to see such a sight. This woman could have found a healthy lover that would be able to please her. Yet, she was stuck with a disabled person like him. It was rare for Lu Gan to blame himself for anything. He said in a deep voice, "It's getting late. Let's go to sleep."

Song Ci shook her head.

"Let me keep massaging you. Just sit still and don't move your legs. Otherwise, your muscles will be damaged."

Song Ci tried to speak as little as possible. She was worried that Lu Gan would feel uncomfortable. She pressed on him for a while, but there was no response. So, she tried to console him.

"Medical technology is very advanced nowadays. You'll be cured sooner or later. Besides, sitting in a wheelchair is not that bad. You don't have to waste any energy on walking. I'll push you wherever."

Lu Gan stayed quiet for a moment before saying, "I'll be fine."

"Really?"

Song Ci was pleasantly surprised. However, she quickly realized that her reaction might not be appropriate. She immediately added, "I'm serious. It doesn't matter what happens. I'll still like you. Of course, I'll be overjoyed if you recover. Even if you don't, it's okay."

Lu Gan smiled.

"Is that so? Didn't you fall in love with me at first sight because of my outstanding skin?"

Chapter 67: He Actually Fell Asleep

"Of course not!"

Song Ci refused to admit it.

"Really?"

Lu Gan nodded.

"Anyway, you don't have to worry too much about your body. All that matters is your happiness. I'll always like you."

Song Ci looked at Lu Gan as she continued to confess.

Lu Gan was softened by her words. He would forever be grateful for meeting Song Ci.

"It'll be fine."

This was the truth.

When Lu Gan woke up from his coma, the doctors told him that things were not looking good. At that time, Lu Suo was present. He did not want to worry the child, so he showed no emotions. Still, how could he not care? After all, it was his body. Hence, he asked Huang Hao to hire private doctors for him.

After the third examination, Lu Gan received a relatively pleasant answer. Nonetheless, his legs would take at least three to five years to recover. It could even be more than ten years. At that time, he asked Huang Hao and the others to keep this matter a secret. Then, Lu Gan announced to the public that he would never recover. This was the only way for him to find the mastermind behind his brother's death. He could not afford to be careless.

Lu Gan looked at Song Ci and silently shifted his gaze. He had never thought of telling her the truth. No one else knew besides Huang Hao and his two other friends.

"Go to sleep,"

...

Lu Gan said in a low voice.

Song Ci was still pressing his legs.

"It's only been a few minutes. Don't you want to continue being a beast?"

Lu Gan was instantly amused by Song Ci's words. Whenever they were together, he would feel at ease. He did not reject her anymore.

"You can continue if you think you're capable."

For Song Ci, her wedding night was indeed unforgettable. Her arms were sore after the massage was done. She laid down to sleep.

Lu Gan looked at Song Ci and felt a little awkward. At this moment, was it even possible for her to act for him? If she did not, how was he supposed to sleep?

Song Ci turned her head.

"Is there something wrong?"

Lu Gan did not know how to respond. In the end, he just turned off the lights.

"Go to sleep!"

It was their wedding night. His poor wife deserved a good rest.

"Okay."

Song Ci looked at the pitch-black room. She could feel the warmth underneath the blanket. After a long while, she said, "Are we really going to spend our wedding night like this?"

Lu Gan did not answer

Song Ci was dissatisfied.

"We're no different from before. Are we really newlyweds?"

Lu Gan thought to himself, 'What changes do you want? Do you really think that we married for love?'

Song Ci kicked the blanket in frustration. Shel felt that something was missing.

Lu Gan sensed her movements and turned around. He reached out and pulled her into his embrace.

"Will this be enough for now?"

Immediately, Song Ci felt her face burn. Even though she had hugged Lu Gan the past couple of days, those actions were unintentional.

Lu Gan had completely caught Song Ci off guard and made her heart restless.

"So I'm not the one who's impatient this time, right?"

Lu Gan laughed.

"Yes, it's me."

His answer made Song Ci happy. As she reached out to hug him back, she suddenly thought of something.

Song Ci began touching Lu Gan's waist.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Gan quickly grabbed her restless hands.

"Didn't you ask me if your waist is easy to hug? I'm evaluating it now."

Song Ci said in a serious tone.

Lu Gan took a deep breath.

"Go to sleep. It's already late."

It would not be good if he got excited.

Song Ci was restrained by Lu Gan and had to give up. She leaned into his arms, got comfortable, and closed her eyes.

Lu Gan could hear Song Ci's breath. He lowered his head and admired her in the dark for a while. Then, he slowly closed his eyes.

Even though it was late at night, Lu Gan still had a lot of time to kill. He really hoped the sun would rise soon. As he thought about it, he gradually fell asleep.

When Lu Gan woke up the next morning, he was totally shocked!

Song Ci yawned lazily and said sleepily, "I'll send Little Suo and Yu Jin to school. You can continue sleeping."

Lu Gan stared at her for a long time before saying, "Okay."

Chapter 68: Biased Contract

The chauffeur in charge of sending and picking up Lu Suo was named Zhang Huan. In the past, Zhang Huan was not a driver. However, Lu Gan had specifically hired him.

"Hello, Uncle Zhang."

Lu Suo greeted him politely.

"This is Auntie Song, my father's wife. The boy next to her is Song Yujin. He's my little uncle."

Zhang Huan had already received a call from Lu Gan last night. He did not know why Lu Gan got married so quickly, but he was sure the latter had his reasons. Song Ci was also an adult. They were responsible for their own actions. Hence, Zhang Huan only smiled at her. He opened the car door and introduced himself, "I'm Zhang Huan, Little Suo's driver."

Song Ci looked at Zhang Huan. He was ridiculously tall and had wheat-colored skin. Even if he was smiling, it was hard to hide his oppressive aura. He was definitely not an ordinary driver. Regardless, this had nothing to do with her. She got into the car and replied politely, "Thank you."

Meanwhile, Lu Gan was in the study room on the second floor. He watched as they got into the car and left. Finally, he returned to his bedroom and laid down. The man was still in shock. Did he actually fall asleep naturally? Lu Gan decided to test things out again tonight.

After Song Yujin was dropped off, Zhang Huan headed for Lu Suo's school. Song Ci looked at Lu Suo who was yawning. She was very fond of the little boy and reached out to pull him into her arms.

"Are you still sleepy? Go ahead and sleep for a while. I'll call you when we arrive at your destination."

Those words caught Lu Suo off guard. For a moment, he was stunned. It was as if another voice echoed in his ears. The voice sounded gentle and was filled with love.

"Are you still sleepy? You lazy little worm. Don't worry, mommy will wake you up later."

His mother would look at him just like Song Ci.

Suddenly, Lu Suo felt very comfortable. He leaned on Song Ci's body and closed his eyes. She was really gentle.

Song Ci hugged and patted him softly.

Shortly after, the car stopped. Song Ci shook Lu Suo lightly and said, "Little Suo, wake up. We've arrived at your school."

Lu Suo opened and rubbed his eyes. He was in a daze and almost said, "Goodbye, mommy."

However, when he saw Song Ci's face, it was clear that she was not his mother. Regrettably, his mother was gone. She would never send him to school again. He raised his hand and waved at Song Ci.

"Goodbye, Auntie Song."

"Goodbye."

Song Ci said with a smile.

Lu Suo entered the classroom and sat on his seat. He looked really gloomy. Then, he used his fingers to write a "Mommy" on his desk. The little boy truly missed his mother.

When Song Ci returned home, Yang Haoran had already arrived. He appeared to be about thirty years old and was a very normal-looking man with a medium build.

Song Ci politely greeted Yang Haoran and sat down beside Lu Gan.

"I've already looked at your contract. There's nothing wrong. Feel free to double-check it."

Lu Gan handed some documents to Song Ci.

Naturally, Song Ci trusted Lu Gan. She took the contract from him and was ready to sign it. Before she did, she subconsciously took a glance.

[ Note: If Party B is dissatisfied with Party A's actions, Party B has the right to terminate the contract at any time. Party B does not bear any responsibility for breaching the contract. All rights are reserved for Party B. ]

Song Ci looked at the column where she should sign. She was Party B and Sunlight Media was Party A! She touched Lu Gan's hand and pointed at the texts.

"Did you mix up Party A and Party B?"

Lu Gan replied calmly, "You're the second party, right?"

Song Ci held the pen and stayed still for a long time.

"This contract was written by you, right?"

"Is there a problem?"

Song Ci was a little embarrassed.

"This contract is not very good. You're being a little too biased... If people knew about this, they would definitely say that you're blind!"

Lu Gan did not care about such matters. He did not think there were any problems at all.

"Sunlight Media is my company. You're my wife and the lady boss. Even if I'm biased, it's only normal."

Song Ci could feel her face turning red. She did not say anything else and signed the contract.

Once that was done, Yang Haoran followed Song Ci to her former management company. He had already discussed this issue with them. Lu Gan had also prepared the penalty money for breaching a contract in advance. Besides, Song Ci was not particularly well-known. It was easy to terminate the contract. Song Ci just needed to head over and sign the contract to finalize things.

Chapter 69: I'm Only Mediocre

?

David, the manager, was alerted. He waited for Song Ci to come over. Even though she had been under him for a few years, his feelings toward her were neutral. Nonetheless, he wished her all the best.

"I hope that you'll change for the better. You may disagree with me but without power, things are going to be hard."

Song Ci merely smiled. She did not say much. Just as she exited the elevator, a loud female voice could be heard.

"Is it really you, Sister Song Ci?"

Song Ci did not want to respond and pulled down her sunglasses. She pretended not to hear anything.

However, the other party was relentless. Since there was no one around, she spoke freely.

"Why are you not answering me? Did you quarrel with your manager? Why did you do that? Don't you know your own position? Other than your face, you have no other merits. If I were you, I would have left the company long ago. It's so hard being disliked by the production team."

Song Ci glanced at the other party through her sunglasses. The woman was wearing a long orange dress and had exquisite makeup on. Her eyes were sharp and there was a hint of pride in them. She had probably just finished shooting something and was trying to show off in front of her. Song Ci thought to herself, 'This person's name is Yan Han. She had signed a contract with this company around the same time as the original Song Ci. They were basically rivals. The original Song Ci had a bad temper and would explode whenever she was aggravated. Since Yan Han was a scheming type of person, she would often provoke her. The two of them had fought in private several times.'

At the same time, Yan Han knew how to put on a mask. She would act kind and respectful towards others. Hence, she received more gigs than "Song Ci". Her position in the company was also much better.

Song Ci could not be bothered with her and said coldly, "I'm here to terminate my contract."

Upon hearing this, Yan Han immediately laughed.

"Terminate your contract? After so many years, did the management finally come to their senses? They finally fired you?"

Song Ci took off her sunglasses and turned her head.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but it was I who decided to change companies."

Yan Han laughed mockingly.

"Is that so? Congratulations. Still, I'm really curious. What company is blind enough to take you in?"

Song Ci replied nonchalantly, "Sunlight Media."

Yan Han was instantly shocked. Sunlight Media was considered top-notch. The company was only two years old but had achieved impressive feats. Furthermore, it was under the Lu Corporation. Sunlight Media's financial power and influence were nothing less than extraordinary!

Yan Han's expression became ferocious. Both of them had entered this company at the same time and in terms of looks, they were on par. Additionally, she was more hardworking.

How did Song Ci manage to end up in Sunlight Media? Why did she have such good luck?

Yan Han was unwilling to give up.

"Hehe, do you really think that you deserve it?"

"Who knows. Maybe someone in Sunlight Media fancies me."

Song Ci looked at Yang Haoran innocently.

"Brother Yang, did you make a mistake?"

Yang Haoran dared not say anything.

'Isn't she the lady boss? How could she say such things so shamelessly? The entire company is her and CEO Lu's property!'

In the end, he could only reply helplessly, "We took an interest in you."

"Really?"

Song Ci deliberately asked exaggeratedly.

"Why didn't you choose someone like Miss Yan? She's very good. Is she not worth it?"

Yan Han was so angry that she roared, "Song Ci! You think you can mock me now?"

Song Ci was shocked.

"Why are you saying such things? I asked that question because I was trying to be kind and considerate. You really can't differentiate what's right or wrong."

Yan Han became even more furious.

Song Ci was acting really differently. In the past, she would already lash out at her. Now, she was acting like a victim. Moreover, she even mocked her!

"Don't flatter yourself. Even if you're in Sunlight Media, you won't be recognized in this lifetime!"

"Sure, sure."

Song Ci nodded in agreement.

"I only have better resources and will earn more money. It's nothing. You don't have to concern yourself with me. Since I'm the only person under my manager, my schedule will be so packed that I won't have the time to rest. My life is not as happy as yours. Brother David has so many people under him. I wonder when they'll notice you. After all, you're so free."

Chapter 70: Strange Feeling

"Song Ci, you b*tch!"

Yan Han gritted her teeth.

Song Ci had an innocent look on her face.

"I was praising you. Why are you scolding me?"

Yan Han glared at her hatefully.

"Song Ci, this is not the end."

After saying that, Yan Han stomped away in her high heels.

Song Ci sneered and put on her sunglasses again. She turned to Yang Haoran and said, "Let's go, Brother Yang."

Yang Haoran looked at her and had mixed feelings. After thinking for a while, he asked politely, "Song Ci, what's your plan now?"

Follow current novels on Freewebn(ov) .

Song Ci's answer was very simple.

"If there's a suitable role, I'll take it. If not, I'll wait."

Yang Haoran asked meaningfully, "What is considered suitable?"

Lu Gan said that Song Ci was a beautiful and gentle actress with unparalleled skills. Any role would suit her. However, if that was true, why did she not explode in popularity yet? His boss probably left out some details. If he could not make Song Ci successful, he would lose his position as a manager!

Yang Haoran had also spoken with David in private. He wanted to know Song Ci , David's words were, "Other than being beautiful, she's useless! She can't act and has a horrible attitude. All she does is argue and fight with others!"

When Yang Haoran heard this, he was completely dumbfounded. Were David and his boss describing a completely different person? Hence, Yang Haoran could not plan anything in advance for Song Ci. He was afraid that if she was dissatisfied with anything, Lu Gan would fire him. After thinking about this matter several times, he finally asked, "Will you only act in big productions with famous directors? You won't consider a small budget film, right?"

"As long as the script is good, I'm even willing to be a supporting character."

Song Ci did not have any power or influence in the previous world. So, she was not picky.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

"But..."

Yang Haoran looked at her and his heart quivered.

"But what?"

Song Ci was silent for a moment.

"I don't want the filming location to be too far away from home."

Yang Haoran was shocked.

"That's it?"

Song Ci nodded.

"The rest is in your hands, Brother Yang. There's no need for me to be involved."

Yang Haoran nodded and looked at her in disbelief. This person was completely different from what David had described. Since there were no other objections, the two of them split up.

Song Ci went to pick up Lu Suo before Song Yujin. Lu Suo was actually two years younger than Song Yujin. The former would be in first grade next year.

Lu Suo looked at Song Yujin's primary school curiously.

"Can I attend this school next year?"

"Yes, you can go to the same school as Yujin."

Song Ci said as she patted his head.

"Will I be in the same class as him?"

"Of course not. You'll only be a first grader while Yujin will be in second grade."

Song Ci said with a helpless smile.

"Oh."

Lu Suo did not say anything else. When Song Ci opened the door and got out of the car, he followed suit.

Song Yujin walked out of the school gate. Out of habit, he looked at the spot where Song Ci would usually wait for him. He saw that Lu Suo was standing next to her.

When Lu Suo saw Song Yujin, he imitated Song Ci's action and waved at him.

Song Yujin recalled Song Ci saying that she would also be picking up Lu Suo from today onwards. He blinked and looked at the two of them. There was a strange feeling in his heart.

Nevertheless, he calmly walked toward Song Ci and got into the car. He sat by the window while holding his schoolbag.

Song Ci sat between Song Yujin and Lu Suo.

Not long after, Lu Suo poked his head out and asked, "Little uncle, do you study arithmetic and literacy?"

"Yes."

Song Yujin nodded.

"Then we're learning the same things."

Lu Suo concluded.

Song Yujin thought for a moment before saying, "It's different. In kindergarten, things are much simpler."

Lu Suo did not believe his words.

"Is that so?"

Since the two of them were chatting, Song Ci picked up Lu Suo and placed him beside Song Yujin. Then, she moved and sat near the window.

"It's easier for you guys to talk this way. If I sit in the middle, I'll only be in the way."

Song Yujin looked at Song Ci and the strange feeling from before returned.

Chapter 71: I Don't Need Any Compensation

Lu Suo smiled sweetly at Song Ci.

"Thank you, Au

"I'll miss you."

Song Yujin did not have much of a choice.

"Really?"

Song Ci looked at him.

Follow current novels on Freewebn(ov) .

"Really."

Song Yujin was indulging her more than usual.

"You have to keep your word. Let's pinky promise."

Song Ci said excitedly.

Song Yujin raised his hand feebly and the two hooked their little fingers together.

Song Ci was satisfied. She carried her little brother into the bathtub and quickly helped him wash up. Before she carried him out, she dried him using a towel. After that, she pinched his little face and said, "I'll sleep with you tonight."

"I can sleep by myself."

Song Yujin's tone was as calm as ever.

Song Ci patted his head and pretended not to hear him.

"I've been giving a lot of attention to Little Suo today, so I want to make it up to you."

Hearing this, the strange feeling in Song Yujin's heart disappeared.

Despite that, he looked at Song Ci and said indifferently, "You don't have to make up for it."

Chapter 72: Sleeping Soundly

"I want to!"

Song Ci pinched Song Yujin's face.

"Can't you entertain your sister? You know how much I like you!"

Song Yujin's ears turned red and he lowered his head.

"Oh."

"Good boy. I'll go talk to your brother-in-law and return shortly."

Song Ci patted his head.

Song Yujin nodded.

"Okay."

Follow current novels on Freewebn(ov) .

Lu Gan had just come out of the bathroom. He saw that his wife was eagerly picking up her pillow.

'Does she really have to take the initiative every day? If this keeps up, I won't be able to control myself!'

"I'm going to sleep with Yujin tonight,"

Song Ci said with a smile.

Lu Gan thought that she was lusting over his body, but things did not turn out the way he expected.

"Are you going to accompany him?"

"Yes. I've been giving a lot of attention to Little Suo today, so I want to make it up to Yujin. He might not care, but I still want him to know that he means a lot to me. This won't change just because I'm married into this family."

Lu Gan felt that Song Ci's words were reasonable and he had no reason to refuse.

"I'm going now, okay?"

Song Ci's sentence was a question, but she had already made up her mind.

Lu Gan said tactfully, "Maybe we can sleep with him together. Wouldn't it be better?"

"Of course not. Little Suo will be jealous. You're not allowed to go."

Song Ci replied without any hesitation.

They were still a new family. Some things had to be done slowly.

Lu Gan continued to insist, "Could you perform for me before leaving?"

Song Ci thought to herself, 'This man really likes my hypnotic performance, doesn't he?'

It was really too much!

She snorted angrily, "You're treating me like a sleeping pill. Just turn on the TV!"

Lu Gan did not give up.

"Please reconsider."

Song Ci snorted coldly and left.

Lu Gan felt like he was experiencing agonizing pain! He had finally found a way to sleep, but she abandoned him! Moreover, there was no way he could tell her the truth!

Regardless, there was no point in being conflicted as Song Ci was already gone.

Song Yujin waited in his room for a while. When Song Ci finally returned, she placed her pillow next to his. Then, she laid down and said, "Alright, let's go to sleep."

"Oh."

Song Yujin laid down as well.

Song Ci hugged him and said gently, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Song Yujin replied softly.

Song Ci smiled and kissed him on the forehead before closing her eyes.

Song Yujin lay in Song Ci's embrace. Suddenly, he felt a little nervous. At the same time, he also felt at ease. After that, he slowly closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, Lu Gan kept opening and closing his eyes. Two hours had passed, but he was still unable to sleep. He tried to recall Song Ci's previous performances but no matter how hard he tried, there was no effect. Was he only able to fall asleep with Song Ci by his side? Lu Gan sighed helplessly and closed his eyes until dawn.

Song Ci got up early so she could send Song Yujin and Lu Suo to school.

When she returned home, Lu Gan was looking at her resentfully. Song Ci could not help but laugh out loud.

Lu Gan, who was unable to sleep all night, said bitterly, "What are you laughing at?"

He roared in his heart, 'Can't you see the dissatisfaction in your husband's eyes? Do you know how he spent the night? He did not sleep at all!

Song Ci smiled and said, "You didn't sleep well last night after I left, did you?"

Lu Gan snorted coldly.

"As if. Since you were not around, I slept exceptionally well. I even had a wonderful dream!"

Song Ci said deliberately, "Is that so? Then I'm going to sleep with Yujin again tonight. After all, my little brother misses me."

Lu Gan was silent. He wanted to take back his words.

Song Ci giggled.

"So it's settled then?"

"Hehe, I disagree."

After saying that, Lu Gan pushed his wheelchair toward the study room.

Song Ci held back her laughter and acted innocent.

"What's wrong? You had a wonderful dream when I'm not around, right? Did you lie? Are you pretending even though you missed me?"

"Hehe."

Lu Gan looked at Song Ci.

Chapter 73: Just Sit In My Arms

Song Ci smiled smugly. No wonder Lu Gan liked to tease her. It was so fun. She liked doing it now too. His reactions were so amusing. Song Ci bent down and whispered into Lu Gan's ear, "I'm just kidding. After so many years, my secret love has finally borne fruit. Without a doubt, I cherish it. I'll sleep with you tonight."

Lu Gan instantly came to life.

"You're not going to sleep with Yujin anymore?"

"Yu Jin is already 6 years old. He's very mature. On the other hand, you're only 26 years old. You still need someone to look after you!"

Song Ci said with a smile.

Lu Gan pressed the space between his brows. He did not utter another word and pushed his wheelchair toward the study room.

Song Ci followed from behind. Just as she was about to ask him what he wanted to eat for lunch, Lu Gan's phone rang.

Follow current novels on Freewebn(ov) .

It was Lu Hongyong. He reminded Lu Gan about the trip to the Lu family's residence for their family meeting this afternoon.

Lu Gan nodded and said, "Do you still remember what I said before?"

"I do."

Lu Hongyong was displeased when he heard Song Ci's name. That woman even had a child with her. How could she marry Lu Gan? Besides, Song Yujin had his own father.

Obviously, Lu Hongyong did not say these words in front of Lu Gan. Otherwise, their family meeting would be filled with quarrels. Moreover, Lu Gan was not lacking any support.

That day, the Lu family's residence was very lively. Lu Hongyong had two younger brothers, Lu Hongju and Lu Hongchang. He also had a younger sister, Lu Suying. They brought their spouses and children with them. It was truly a big family.

...

When everyone had arrived, Lu Hongyong said, "The children can stay on the first floor to play. Lu Xu, keep an eye on them. As for the rest of you, go to the conference room."

The conference room was on the third floor. Song Ci looked around the entire first floor. There was no elevator! The Lu family clearly did not lack money. This meant Lu Hongyong was not bothered with Lu Gan.

Song Ci frowned unhappily and asked around for assistance. She was very disappointed with the Lu family and felt sorry for Lu Gan. Despite that, she did not show it.

Only Lu Chunyue walked to Lu Gan's side and said, "I can help"

Song Ci was pleased to hear her words. She thanked Lu Chunyue.

"You're welcome."

Lu Chunyue said as she supported Lu Gan.

When they reached a corner, Lu Chunyue saw Lu Xu sitting on the sofa. The latter was playing games on his phone. He did not care about the people surrounding him. Lu Chunyue raised her voice and shouted at him, "Lu Xu, stop playing. You're the oldest so keep an eye on your little nephews and nieces!"

Lu Xu nodded reluctantly and put down his phone with a displeased expression.

Lu Chunyue pursed her lips. She was equally dissatisfied and complained to Lu Gan, "Lu Xu is already ten years old this year. Since he's my father's eldest grandson, he's spoiled. He can't differentiate between right and wrong. All he does is play games all day."

Lu Gan chuckled.

"You have to be more strict with him."

"Right? But my father disagrees. No matter what I said, he won't listen."

Lu Chunyue glanced at Lu Gan. Among the men in their family, he and his late brother were the most outstanding. Unfortunately, one died and the other was injured.

"Second brother..."

Lu Chunyue said softly.

"I know that you're in pain, but I still think you should take over Lu Corporation. Lu Heng would have wanted you to replace him. It shouldn't be Lu Jie."

When Lu Hongyong said something like this, he had to face Lu Gan's fury.

However, when Lu Chunyue said it, Lu Gan stayed silent. Finally, he said in a low voice, "I'm not in good health nor do I have the energy. Chunyue, do you understand? I just want to lead a peaceful life with my family. Nothing else matters."

Lu Chunyue could hear the sadness in Lu Gan's words. She sighed and stopped talking.

The conference room on the third floor was huge. Everyone took their seats, but there was no place for Song Ci.

Lu Hongyong said in an unemotional and practical manner, "This is Song Ci's first time attending our family meeting. My memory is bad because I'm old. I forgot to tell the maid to prepare a chair for you. Just stand there for a while."

Lu Gan sneered. He did not expect to be so angry right from the start. Lu Heng's seat was reserved for him. It was the opposite of Lu Hongyong's. Lu Gan looked at his father. Then, he reached out and pulled Song Ci into his arms, pressing her down onto his lap.

"There's no need. Since we're married, she can just sit in my arms."

Chapter 74: The Undercurrent of Family Meetings

Everyone looked at Lu Hongyong silently.

Lu Hongyong clenched his fists, took out his cell phone, and made a call.

"Butler, bring a chair to the meeting room."

Lu Gan said calmly, "I thought my idea was pretty good."

Lu Hongyong looked at his son. After a long while, he turned to Song Ci.

"Do you think so too?"

Song Ci was unhappy that Lu Hongyong had held the meeting upstairs. The Lu family did not care about Lu Gan. So, she smiled and said, "I agree. Don't trouble yourself because of me. As your daughter-in-law, I should respect you. We're all family. There's no need to be courteous. Regardless, just do as you please."

After saying that, she even deliberately looked at Lu Gan and added, "Look, father-in-law is so polite."

Lu Hongyong gave her a fake smile. This woman made him speechless.

Follow current novels on Freewebn(ov) .

Lu Gan chuckled and held Song Ci's hand. Then, he looked at his father and said, "Didn't you say that we have something to discuss? We should hop on to the main topic. Don't waste my time."

Lu Hongyong could not help but grit his teeth.

Lu Jie's father, Lu Hongchang, urged him impatiently, "Big brother, let's get down to business."

Lu Jingjing chimed in, "That's right. Uncle, let's not get distracted."

...

Lu Hongyong took a few deep breaths and said, "I've received Lu Gan's resignation letter. At present, the position of general manager in our family's company is vacant. This meeting is to discuss who should take over."

Lu Suying, who had previously discussed with Lu Hongchang, immediately said, "Lu Jie has worked hard in the company for many years. I think he's a suitable candidate."

Lu Suying's son, daughter, and son-in-law agreed.

"Besides, Lu Jie is the oldest. We're not qualified in terms of seniority."

Lu Hongju twirled the sandalwood bracelet in his hand and said with a sullen face, "I think it's better to hire a professional manager."

"Lu Hongju, are you saying that Lu Jie is not qualified?"

Lu Hongchang asked as he turned to look at him.

Lu Hongju smiled and said, "I'm just thinking in the company's best interest."

"Who isn't? That's why our family members should be the general manager, not some outsider. In the future, are we replacing everyone with foreigners?"

Lu Hongchang and Lu Hongju started quarreling. Lu Jingjing and Lu Suying's voices were also mixed in.

Song Ci was amused. Suddenly, Lu Gan pinched her hand.

He smiled and said, "Are you enjoying yourself?"

"It's not bad,"

Song Ci commented.

In Lu Gan's eyes, this was all just a farce.

Out of nowhere, Lu Hongju asked, "Lu Gan, what's your opinion? Do you think Lu Jie is suitable?"

Lu Gan looked at his third uncle, then at Lu Jie. He was very nervous, but he pretended to be calm.

"I don't care."

"Pa!"

Lu Hongju put down the bracelet in his hand. He was very disappointed in Lu Gan. "How can you say that? Lu Heng had always wanted you to take over! You're only crippled physically, not mentally!"

Lu Gan sneered, "Third uncle, maybe you should ask someone to break your legs. After that, come back and tell me about your mentality!"

Lu Hongju's face turned gloomy. He did not say anything else.

Lu Gan looked at everyone mockingly.

"Talk is cheap. None of you will understand my feelings. In your eyes, I'm just a cripple. So why are you guys so bothered with me?"

Everyone silently lowered their heads.

It seemed like Lu Gan had really lost his fighting spirit.

Lu Jie pretended to be a good person and said, "Second brother is right. Some people talk as if they understand others' struggles."

Lu Hongju chuckled and crossed his fingers.

"Lu Jie, why don't you be direct? What do you mean by some people?"

Lu Hongyong knocked on the table and said coldly, "Alright, let's take a vote. Raise your hand if you think Lu Jie should be the general manager."

More than half of the people raised their hands.

Lu Hongyong nodded.

"Then it's decided."

Lu Jie smiled and said, "I'll do my best for the Lu family."

Lu Hongju sneered and got up. He was about to leave, but Lu Hongyong stopped him.

"Sit."

Lu Hongju reluctantly sat back down.

Chapter 75: Truth

?

"I still have one more thing to say."

Lu Hongyong looked at Lu Gan. Suddenly, his tone became gentle.

"Lu Gan, since you don't care about the company anymore, you must return Lu Heng's portion of shares to me. You have too much and it's inappropriate."

Lu Gan was instantly stunned. He never expected his biological father to utter such words.

Song Ci could sense the change in Lu Gan's emotions. She turned around and looked at him. Then, she held his hand tightly and said softly, "Lu Gan…"

Lu Gan regained his senses after hearing Song Ci's voice. He appeared to be slightly better. After composing himself, he leaned against the wheelchair and said in an ice-cold tone, "Never!"

Lu Hongyong's face immediately darkened.

"Lu Gan, you... Those were originally..."

Follow current novels on Freewebn(ov) .

All of a sudden, the door opened and Lu Hongyong was interrupted.

"Get out!"

Lu Hongyong yelled without thinking.

This frightened Zhu Yi, who was already crying. He cried even louder and called for his father. That would be Zhu Mingzhan, Lu Suying's son.

Lu Xu, Lu Suo, Song Yujin, and the other children also came over.

Upon seeing Lu Suo and Song Yujin, Song Ci quickly stood up. She looked worried. Were they bullied?

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Reading on Mybo xno vel. com ,Please!

Zhu Mingzhan asked. His heart ached upon seeing Zhu Yi cry.

Zhu Yi turned his head and pointed at Lu Suo. He shouted, "Lu Suo bullied me. He's the devil. He pushed me into the water and tried to drown me."

Zhu Mingzhan then noticed that Zhu Yi's clothes were dripping wet.

Song Ci was shocked. She looked at Lu Suo who was standing at the door. His clothes were also wet. Without wasting any time, she quickly walked over. Lu Suo's eyes were full of grievance and his lips were tightly pursed.

"I didn't! He fell into the water and I pulled him out. Otherwise, he would have drowned. He's lying because he doesn't want to be scolded!"

As Lu Suo spoke, tears began flowing down his eyes. It was a heartbreaking sight and Song Ci was greatly affected.

Zhu Yi was Lu Suying's grandson. He was completely spoiled and would usually cause a lot of trouble.

When Lu Hongyong heard this, he scolded Zhu Yi angrily, "You made a mistake, yet, you blame others? Little Suo is only five years old while you're ten. How could he push you?"

Lu Hongyong looked at his sister's family and added, "Zhu Mingzhan, take your son away. This is the Lu family, not your Zhu family! Don't bring him here if he doesn't know how to behave."

Zhu Yi did not expect to be scolded. He cried even harder!

Zhu Mingzhan glanced at his mother. Since Lu Suying was a girl, she had no rights in the Lu family. Hence, she dared not openly oppose Lu Hongyong. In the end, Zhu Mingzhan could only get up and leave with Zhu Yi.

Lu Jie looked at their departing figures. After thinking for a while, he said, "Wait, wasn't Lu Xu downstairs as well? Why don't we ask him?"

"Are you saying that Lu Suo pushed Zhu Yi?"

Lu Gan asked coldly.

Lu Jie quickly answered, "No… I just..."

"You better be careful with your words."

Lu Gan interrupted.

"Otherwise, I'll vote for a professional manager to take over."

Lu Jie kept quiet right away.

"Lu Gan, he's just..."

Lu Hongchang wanted to mediate, but Lu Gan would have none of it.

"Second uncle, hiring a professional manager is good, right? Third uncle also agrees. If that's the majority vote, I have no objections."

Lu Gan laughed.

Lu Hongju crossed his arms and laughed loudly.

Lu Hongchang turned his head and also kept his mouth shut.

Lu Gan's anger had just subsided when he heard his father ask, "Lu Xu, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Lu Gan gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Hongyong.

"You don't believe Lu Suo?"

Lu Hongyong looked up.

"I do. However, Lu Xu was there at the time. He's the oldest and was responsible for taking care of them. He definitely knew what happened!"

Lu Gan sneered. In a contemptuous tone, he said, "You think Lu Suo would push Zhu Yi? Lu Suo is your biological grandson. You watched him grow up. Don't you know his personality? How could you trust Zhu Yi's words over Lu Suo's? Has Lu Suo done this kind of thing before?"

Lu Hongyong was a little shaken, but he replied in a deep voice, "I'm not doubting Lu Suo. Since you trust him so much, you shouldn't have to worry about what Lu Xu would say, right?"

Chapter 76: Not Letting Go

Lu Gan laughed sarcastically.

"Why should I ask? I trust Lu Suo. He would never do something like this!"

He looked at Lu Hongyong, not understanding what the latter was thinking. How could a child that Lu Heng raised do such a thing? Why was Lu Hongyong unwilling to let go of this matter?

Suddenly, Lu Gan realized something. His father was not suspecting Lu Suo. Instead, he was just trying to find an excuse to take the little boy away from him! After all, Lu Suo inherited all of Lu Heng's shares.

Lu Hongyong did not care if he upset Lu Suo or anyone else! Zhu Yi's matter was just a coincidence, but it could contribute to his purpose. If Lu Xu said Lu Suo was the one who pushed Zhu Yi, he could take Lu Suo away with the excuse of educating him. Lu Jie also thought of the same thing.

It was ridiculous. No one was treating Lu Suo like a living person. He was just a password to wealth. Whoever adopted him would also gain his shares.

However, they were unaware of one thing. Lu Heng did not actually pass down his shares to Lu Suo! He knew Lu Suo would face unnecessary troubles if something happened to him. Hence, he tried to protect him to the best of his abilities. Otherwise, Lu Suo would never be happy.

Lu Gan said coldly, "Lu Xu, you don't have to say anything. Everyone already believed Lu Suo. Unless… They were lying in plain sight!"

For a moment, everyone stayed quiet.

Lu Suo had never expected things to turn out like this. He raised his head and looked at Lu Hongyong. His grandfather always said that he favored him the most. So, why was he suspecting him? Lu Jie had also said some weird things a few days ago. Originally, Lu Suo thought everyone would trust him. Additionally, they all knew Zhu Yi's personality. This incident made Lu Suo discover something else. People were more complicated than he had imagined. As expected, only his uncle was the most dependable.

"I just want to know what happened. My son almost died! Lu Xu, tell me!"

At first, Zhu Mingzhan wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, the tables had turned. Lu Hongyong was clearly on his side so naturally, he had to pursue this matter.

Lu Gan looked at him. There was nothing he could do.

...

On the other hand, Lu Xu was flustered and at a loss due to the adults' words. He shouted, "I was playing with my game when Zhu Yi started crying. He decided to tell his dad, so we just followed. I don't know anything, so stop asking me! Ask Song Yujin. The three of them were together at that time."

Upon hearing that, Zhu Yi nodded.

"Yes, Song Yujin saw it. It was Lu Suo who pushed me!"

Everyone's attention shifted to Song Yujin.

Song Yujin's expression remained calm. When everyone saw this, they became more inclined to believe Lu Suo. After all, how could a child remain so calm after witnessing such a harrowing event? He should have been shocked or scared.

Song Ci looked at Song Yujin and then at Lu Suo. Obviously, she and Lu Gan trusted Lu Suo unconditionally, but that could not be said for the others. Besides, she knew what Lu Suo's personality would be like when he grew up. Hence, there was no guarantee that his words were true. Moreover, Song Yujin was always calm. He may be present, but he might not want to put her and Lu Gan in a difficult position.

"Yujin, what happened?"

Lu Hongyong looked at Song Yujin and smiled gently.

Lu Gan had introduced Song Yujin to the Lu family earlier, but they did not even look at him. They even treated him like some kind of virus. Now, things were completely different. Lu Hongyong even put on a loving look.

"I'm Lu Suo's grandfather. Tell me, what did you see?"

Lu Gan felt that Lu Hongyong's attitude was both pathetic and laughable.

Song Ci could see the sadness and anguish that was filling up Lu Gan's eyes.

Despite that, Lu Gan shook his head at her, indicating that he was fine.

Song Ci thought to herself, 'There's no way he's fine. All his family members are opposing him. Even though he had given up his position and power, these people still want to squeeze him dry.'

Chapter 77: You're Lying

"Does Little Suo have a set of spare clothes here? I'll help him get changed."

Song Ci said as she touched Lu Suo's cold face.

When Lu Gan heard her words, he snapped back into reality.

Song Ci smiled at the group of people. Her tone was gentle, but also extremely sarcastic, "Everyone says they're worried about their children, that the truth must be spoken. Yet, these two kids are still wet. No one even asked how they felt. It's understandable that Lu Gan did not pay attention because his hands were already full. Other than him, none of you in this house cares. Your priorities are clear. The Lu family has really opened my eyes!"

Lu Hongyong slammed the table angrily.

"Shut your mouth. You're just an outsider. You have no right to speak."

Song Ci's smile grew even wider.

"I'm more than happy to be an outsider. If I had a family like yours, I would die from vomiting blood."

"You…!"

Follow current novels on Freewebn(ov) .

Lu Hongyong stared at her with a fierce gaze.

Lu Suo was surprised. He did not expect Song Ci to speak up for him. She even supported his uncle. At this moment, Lu Suo's feelings toward Song Ci changed.

Lu Gan looked at his father coldly and said angrily, "You're the one who should shut up. Song Ci is my wife. We're legally married. We're Lu Suo's parents. She is more qualified to speak than anyone else. You don't care about your grandson at all. What right do you have to criticize others?"

After saying that, Lu Gan turned around and looked at Lu Suo with a gentle expression.

...

"Go and get changed."

Then, he said to Song Ci, "Please go with him."

"Okay."

Song Ci nodded.

Zhu Mingzhan was not willing to let Lu Suo leave. He immediately shouted, "We haven't solved this issue yet. How can we leave?"

Song Ci retorted, "Your son is also soaked. Aren't you worried about him? If he doesn't get changed, he'll fall sick."

"Then hurry up and tell the truth!"

Zhu Mingzhan looked at Song Yujin.

"Yujin, tell us the truth. Your mother is here, so you shouldn't lie. Otherwise, she'll hate you."

Song Ci was appalled.

"First of all, I'm his sister. The two of us have the same mother. Secondly, I'll never hate him. How you educate your child is none of my business, but don't you spout nonsense in front of my little brother."

Song Ci was about to ask Song Yujin to ignore Zhu Mingzhan. However, before she could, Song Yujin said calmly, "Will you believe my words?"

Upon seeing this, Song Ci decided to let Song Yujin speak for himself.

Lu Gan and Lu Suo also looked at Song Yujin.

Subconsciously, Lu Suo pursed his lips.

"Of course."

Zhu Mingzhan smiled.

"Uncle believes you. Your nose will grow longer if you lie. You don't want that to happen, right?"

Lu Suo could not help but say, "Little uncle, tell them."

His voice was soft and gentle. He tried to remind Song Yujin that he was closer to him than Zhu Yi.

After saying that, he lowered his eyes and added, "If I knew this was the outcome, I wouldn't have meddled in other's business. Nobody believes me even though I was wronged."

Unfortunately, adults and children's thinking worked differently.

Lu Gan's heart ached for Lu Suo. He held the little boy in his arms and attempted to comfort him.

The look in Song Ci's eyes changed. Lu Suo was trying to get Song Yujin to testify for him. She sighed in her heart. If Lu Suo was really the real perpetrator, then his performance was nothing short of amazing. He was indeed the villain.

Based on the original plot, Lu Suo grew up in a safe environment without any family ties. His uncles passed away one after another. Eventually, he took control of the Lu Corporation and exact his revenge on everyone who had wronged him. His methods were straightforward but ruthless. This child was destined to be exceptional.

Lu Suo seemed to have sensed the change in Song Ci. He raised his head and looked at her.

Song Ci smiled at him gently and Lu Suo smiled back adorably.

Song Yujin did not like this place at all. Without any hesitation, he said calmly, "Little Suo did not push Zhu Yi. In fact, he saved him. He used an inner tube to ensure neither of them drowned. Then, he dragged him up."

"You're lying!"

Zhu Yi cried.

"You're his uncle, so you're lying for him!"

Song Yujin said plainly, "Nothing happened to my nose, so I'm not lying."

Chapter 78: Hope Is Lost

?

Zhu Mingzhan did not think Song Yujin was lying, but he was unwilling to accept it. So, he continued to coax, "Why was Lu Suo the only person who went to save Zhu Yi? No one else noticed?"

"When Lu Suo went to the bathroom, he heard the sound. That's how he found out," said Song Yujin.

Zhu Mingzhan quickly asked, "How did you know? Did Lu Suo teach you to say these words?"

"I saw it."

Song Yujin's voice was cold.

"When you guys left, the other children bullied Little Suo. After that, Little Suo went to the bathroom. I was worried he might be bullied again, so I followed him. That's how I saw everything."

Lu Gan looked at Song Yujin.

"Who bullied him? What did they do?"

Follow current novels on Freewebn(ov) .

Song Yujin replied, "They said a lot of unpleasant things to Little Suo,"

"Like what?"

Lu Gan pressed.

Lu Suo quickly shouted, "Song Yujin, don't say it!"

Lu Gan turned back and glanced at Lu Suo. The latter's expression had changed from shock to grievance.

"I don't want you to hear it."

Song Yujin kept quiet.

Reading on Mybo xn o vel. com ,Please!

Lu Gan did not press further. He told Song Ci to cover Lu Suo's eyes.

"Yujin, turn around as well."

Lu Gan suppressed his anger and tried his best to be gentle.

Song Yujin obediently turned around.

"Bang!"

Following that sound, screams and cries could be heard.

Since Lu Suo's eyes were covered, he did not witness Lu Gan's anger or the injury on Zhu Mingzhan's shoulder.

"Lu Gan! What are you doing?!"

Lu Suying stood up and roared.

Lu Gan glared at Lu Suying. His eyes were filled with hostility.

"My big brother may be dead, but I'm not! I won't discipline your grandkids, but I will punish you and your son! You better make sure they never slander Lu Suo again!"

Lu Suying dared not speak anymore.

Lu Gan looked at everyone else who was present in the room.

He said in a cold voice, "All of you are strong and healthy. Your desires are endless. You want to take everything and that's fine. It doesn't matter. However, I'm different. My legs are crippled. All I have is my family. If anyone wronged them, I'll make sure they end up like me. Challenge me if you think you're capable!"

Lu Gan had always been a petty person. He would say and do whatever he pleased. After the accident, his temperament became worse. If someone offended him, they would have to withstand the counterattack of a madman.

After seeing that everyone remained silent, Lu Gan was finally satisfied. He continued in a deep voice, "Now, apologize to Little Suo."

Lu Suying was the first to apologize. Lu Gan had hit her son's shoulder with an ashtray. Even so, she held her breath and dragged Zhu Mingzhan out.

Lu Jie and Lu Hongchang also apologized unwillingly.

Lu Gan then stared at his father.

Lu Hongyong hesitated for a long time. In the end, he said to Lu Suo, "Little Suo, I wasn't suspecting you. I just want to know the truth. Don't think too much about it. I'm sorry."

Lu Suo sneered in his heart but acted innocent externally.

"It's okay. I don't blame you, grandpa. It's Zhu Yi's fault."

Since Lu Hongyong only treated Lu Suo as a child, he was not really bothered by this matter.

Lu Gan did not waste any more time and said, "Let's go."

The family of four turned around.

Before leaving, he went to Lu Heng's room so Lu Suo could get changed. The owner of this room was once regarded as the most outstanding person in the Lu family. However, in just less than a year, those who praised him had almost completely forgotten him. They even worked together to bully his son. Clearly, these people had no regard for the dead.

After returning to his villa, Lu Gan comforted Lu Suo for a while before returning to his room. Song Ci was worried, so she followed him.

As for Lu Suo, he went to Song Yujin's room.

"Little uncle..."

Song Yujin was reading.

He looked at Lu Suo but as usual, his expression did not change.

"I won't tell my sister and your father. Don't worry."

Song Yujin did not beat around the bush. He knew why Lu Suo was here.

Lu Suo's eyes widened in an instant. Song Yujin had indeed seen everything! Before this, he had his hopes up. Now, everything was shattered.

Chapter 79: Hiding Underwater

What actually happened was that Lu Suying's eight-year-old granddaughter, Zhu Minmin, asked Lu Suo to play hide-and-seek with her. She was also Zhu Yi's sister.

Since there were no adults around, Lu Suo did not have to act and rejected her coldly.

Zhu Minmin had been pampered since she was young. This made her unhappy.

Zhu Yi came over and thought she had been bullied.

"What's going on?"

"Brother Lu Suo doesn't want to play with me."

Zhu Yi replied in disdain, "That's good. He's a monster who caused his parents' death! Let's just stay away."

When Lu Suo heard this, his gaze turned malicious.

However, Zhu Yi was not afraid at all. He said proudly, "I'm just stating the truth. You're a little monster. Uncle Lu Gan was also crippled because of you. Whoever gets close to you will suffer!"

Lu Suo clenched his fists. This was not the first time he had heard such words. After the car accident, he overheard Lu Suying and her daughter-in-law's conversation.

"There are four people in the car. Only Lu Suo escaped unscathed. Isn't it a little weird?"

"Nobody believed me when I said there's something wrong with Lu Suo. When he was born, the Lu family encountered hardships. Even the feng shui master had mentioned the year was going to be rough. I think Lu Heng hid that piece of news from everyone. That child brings misfortune and is destined to live alone. Whoever gets close to him will suffer!"

"His parents are dead and Lu Gan is still in a coma... Mom, we need to stay away from him. He's too dangerous..."

When Lu Suo heard this, he was shaken for a long time. Was this incident his fault? He could not accept it at all. In the end, he just squatted on the ground and cried silently.

Lu Suo returned to Lu Gan's side, filled with malice and agony. He held the latter's hand and prayed for him to wake up. His uncle was all he had left.

Reading on Mybo xn o v el. com ,Please!

After Lu Gan woke up, he did not say anything and only blamed himself. For a long time, he really thought everything was his fault.

Now, Zhu Yi had opened those wounds again.

Lu Suo stayed quiet.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Yi became even bolder. He pointed at Lu Suo and continued to say horrible things.

"Little monster! I'll call you that from now on!"

Then, Zhu Yi told Zhu Minmin, "You're fortunate that I came early. If you played with him, you might not even know that you've died."

Zhu Minmin was frightened and stayed away from Lu Suo. She did not want to end up like him.

Song Yujin saw this scene when he came out of the bathroom. He thought Lu Suo was being bullied and quickly ran over.

When Lu Suo saw Song Yujin, he quickly lowered his head and put on an aggrieved expression.

Song Yujin's expression was cold and his eyes were sharp. Hence, Zhu Yi dared not provoke him.

"Your name is Song Yujin, right? You better stay away from Lu Suo. He's a little monster. He can kill people."

Lu Suo lowered his gaze. He wished that Zhu Yi would die on the spot. Despite that, he held himself back. If Song Yujin found out, he might blabber to Song Ci and Lu Gan. So, he just called out softly, "Little uncle…"

Song Yujin really thought that Lu Suo was being bullied. In his eyes, Lu Suo was a very cute and obedient boy. Naturally, he had to protect him. He stood in front of Lu Suo and said, "Then why aren't you guys leaving? You're so close to each other."

Once he said this, everyone that was present ran away.

Song Yujin sat down beside Lu Suo and said, "You'll be okay."

Lu Suo nodded and looked at him meekly.

"Thank you, little uncle."

Song Yujin patted Lu Suo's head.

"Good boy."

Zhu Jin and the others went to play hide-and-seek. Lu Suo looked at him without batting an eyelid. After that, he said to Song Yujin, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Song Yujin nodded without saying another word.

Lu Suo walked slowly. No one could tell what he was thinking. He hid behind a corner and peeked at Song Yujin. The latter was watching a video, so he turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, Song Yujin got up. He was worried that Lu Suo would be bullied again, so he decided to go and check on him.

When Song Yujin entered the bathroom, he could not find Lu Suo. Thus, he went looking for him.

At this time, Zhu Yi was hiding behind the swimming pool. Since Zhu Minmin was afraid of the water, he thought that his sister would not come over. Suddenly, he heard a cold voice.

"If you hide underwater, no one will find you."

Chapter 80: You Shouldn't Push People

Zhu Yi was startled. He turned around and saw Lu Suo standing behind him. Just as he was about to say something, he was pushed into the pool.

Song Yujin witnessed this scene and was in utter disbelief.

Lu Suo stood by the pool indifferently as Zhu Yi struggled in the water and shouted for help.

Song Yujin no longer recognized the person standing in front of him.

'This is probably his true nature.'

Before Song Yujin could do anything, Lu Suo made a move. He threw an inner tube into the pool and calmly jumped in, saving Zhu Yi.

Lu Suo asked, "Was that fun?"

Zhu Yi was petrified and could not speak.

Follow current novels on Freewebn(ov) .

Lu Suo laughed and said in a soft tone, "If you ever call me a little monster again, I'll kill you! Drowning is only one of many options."

Zhu Yi immediately burst into tears and tried to run away.

This sight made Lu Suo even happier. He got up and turned around. At this moment, the smile on his face froze. Song Yujin was right there!

Lu Suo panicked. If Lu Gan found out, he would definitely be disappointed in him. However, before he could do anything, Zhu Yi hugged Song Yujin and cried, "He tried to drown me… He's crazy!"

Lu Suo did not know how much Song Yujin had seen. Thus, he concocted his own plan. He looked at Zhu Yi with a shocked expression and said, "What? I saved you. You're the one who fell into the water by accident."

As long as Song Yujin did not see the whole thing, he could definitely find a way to hide the truth. His usual act was not for nothing.

Unfortunately, Song Yujin did see the whole thing.

Reading on Mybo xn o v el. com ,Please!

Song Yujin looked at Lu Suo with mixed feelings. Supposedly, Lu Suo was just a cute and innocent child. However, that was not the case at all. Lu Suo was superb at deceiving others. In fact, he was more complicated and terrifying than any other child. His true nature was cunning, vicious, and cruel. Song Yujin thought only adults had these traits, but they also existed in Lu Suo.

Anyway, Lu Suo did not expect Song Ci to speak up for him and Song Yujin to see everything.

Lu Suo felt very uneasy. There was no fake smile on his face. He simply did not know what to say.

Song Yujin flipped through a page of his book. It seemed like he did not care about Lu Suo's true nature. He said calmly, "You can leave now."

Lu Suo smiled.

"Do you hate me?"

"No."

"Then why are you kicking me out?"

Lu Suo felt wronged.

Song Yujin was puzzled.

"You just want to know if I'll tell my sister and your father, right? I already said I won't."

Lu Suo could not understand Song Yujin at all.

Zhu Yi was almost scared to death by him. Yet, Song Yujin could read nonchalantly.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Song Yujin thought for a moment before saying, "You shouldn't have pushed him into the pool. Scolding and beating are fine, but killing is off limits!"

"He won't die. I was just trying to scare him."

Lu Suo said calmly.

Song Yujin put down his book and looked at Lu Suo.

"You can't control water, so you shouldn't scare him this way. He could have actually died."

"I'll save him before anything happens. I won't let him die."

Lu Suo kept being stubborn.

"Not everything will go according to your plans."

Song Yujin replied calmly.

"But he didn't die!"

Lu Suo retorted.

Song Yujin laughed. His eyes were filled with contempt.

"He may not die today, but what about next time? You didn't expect me to see everything, right? If he died, what would you do? Lu Suo, I'm only telling you this because you asked me if I had anything to say. Yet, you're not listening to me. If this is the case, you don't have to ask me next time."

What was the point of talking if the other party was unwilling to listen? Song Yujin knew that it was pointless trying to persuade someone like Lu Suo. He did not want to waste his time either. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him.

Song Yujin did not speak again and continued to read his book.

On the other hand, Lu Suo was more baffled than ever. They had just argued, but Song Yujin went back to reading as if nothing had happened.
