It was an instinctive "feeling."

His build, his presence—make bold assumptions, then verify them carefully.

In short, Lu Lu had not let that sudden flash of insight slip away—if even Lu Rudi had started wondering why Lu Yuan, who had clearly never fooled around all these years, had accepted the filthy reputation they had dumped on him, then Lu Lu, being a girl and more meticulous than him, would naturally notice it too.

"Lu Yuan slept with men, and he was the one on the bottom." It did sound shocking, but what if... it was true?

Possibility one: that thing of Lu Yuan's did not work, so he had no choice but to bend over and be the receiver, experiencing a different kind of pleasure.

Possibility two: despite Lu Yuan's tall, imposing figure and overwhelming presence, he had been born a shameless bottom. He had suppressed it for years, but finally could no longer endure his inner urges and revealed his true self.

Had heaven finally opened its eyes? Hahahaha.

Their chance to turn things around had come!

◎Young Master Lu's Difficult Moment~◎

"What? Impossible!" Lu Mingyu kicked the coffee table, his face dark with displeasure. "There's a limit to the nonsense you can spout. If Lu Yuan finds out you've been making up stories about him behind his back, just wait to be dealt with. And don't come crying to me afterward. It'll be useless."

"How are we making things up about him?! Yes, we did make things up about him before, and looking back, that was because we were stupid enough to fall into his trap! You know perfectly well whether your precious eldest son is a playboy. If he didn't have that problem, would he have failed to get even one woman all these years?" The woman opposite him had arched brows and a breathtakingly beautiful face. She looked very much like someone not to be trifled with.

Lu Yuan's biological father, Lu Mingyu, was quite the character himself. In modern society, even men who kept harems usually hid them away, but not him. He kept his harem openly and proudly, like a reincarnated Prince of Southern Peace from a Jin Yong novel. He was genuinely affectionate toward every woman. Not only had he fathered a whole string of illegitimate sons and daughters, but he was also an unusually clear-headed man—

His philosophy was that the whole "virtuous wife, beautiful concubines" thing was complete bullshit, nothing but self-deception. Whether women wanted money or affection from you, expecting them to live together peacefully when their interests were entangled was nothing more than a fool's dream. So they should not put on a loving act in front of him either; it was too fake. If they wanted to compete, they should do so openly. Whoever won had earned it.

This glamorous young married woman was Lu Rudi's mother. She had once been a barely known actress, but Lu Mingyu had taken a liking to her as soon as she debuted. From then on, her main occupation had become acting cute and fighting for his favor. She had been determined to take down Lu Yuan and put her own son in the position of heir to the Lu family, so that once Lu Mingyu died, she could become a wealthy widow worth billions and reach the pinnacle of life.

After receiving classified information from Lu Rudi, the group analyzed it at their meeting. Hey, there might actually be something to it!

Then she eagerly came to poison Lu Mingyu's ears.

She said, "Hahaha, tell me, isn't it hilarious? You always thought your precious eldest son was the most like you—capable and beloved by everyone. But look at him now. Never mind whether he's capable or not; his body is truly finished! He's been holding it in for so long that he's gone perverted. He even brought you home a son-in-law. Old Lu, you've spent your whole life keeping up appearances, only to choose this kind of heir. If your old friends and rivals find out, won't they laugh themselves to death? Even we'll lose face."

Lu Mingyu's expression turned as colorful as a neon sign.

On the surface, he angrily rebuked his mistress for her nonsense and told her to shut up. But after mulling over her words, he grew more uncertain the more he thought about them. Leaving aside anything else, did he not know whether Lu Yuan had ever been with a woman? He had once thought the boy was strong-willed, like a wolf cub, even stubbornly competing with his father by saying, "I'm not going to be as much of a scumbag as you." Hahaha, it had been kind of cute.

Lu Mingyu had treated it as a little bit of fun between father and son, maliciously waiting for his son to "break his vow." Sigh, silly boy, of all things to compete over, why choose this? You were bound to lose! Right now, you were still a virgin who did not understand the pleasures of women. Once you tasted it, he refused to believe you could keep playing the saint! His blood ran in your veins. Your mother filled your head with nonsense every day, but father and son were on the same side, understand?

That was also why Lu Mingyu knew perfectly well that rumors like "Young Master Lu carries on the family scumbag tradition, changing women like clothes and knocking up several women at a young age" were all mud his mistresses had thrown at Lu Yuan. Not only did he ignore them, he even subtly encouraged them.

He wanted to tell Lu Yuan, you fool, keeping yourself pure is useless. Look, even if you did nothing, you still ended up covered in filth. Wasn't it humiliating? Didn't it feel awful? He might as well make the fake rumors real. His father would not mind raising grandchildren while still young.

Now that the "truth" had been exposed, all that sulking and pretending to be obedient had been his own wishful thinking. Lu Yuan most likely had a physical or psychological problem.

Lu Mingyu could no longer sit still.

He had to investigate it thoroughly—actually, he did not mind if Lu Yuan slept with men. Lu Mingyu had done it too, though after all was said and done, he still preferred women. What he minded was Lu Yuan sleeping only with men, or worse, only being slept with by men...

Lu Mingyu was an extremely controlling man. He never fully trusted information obtained through any channel unless he investigated it himself.

Very soon, every detail of Lu Yuan's interactions with Li Zhikong, including written records, photographs, surveillance footage, and more, was compiled by his trusted subordinates into a thick dossier and placed on his desk.

After reading it...

For the first time, Lu Mingyu and Ms. Wang were on the same wavelength.

What kind of cursed fate was this?! The little boyfriend Lu Yuan had found was actually Bai Jinxiao's posthumous son?!

No wonder... Lu Mingyu stroked his chin and thought with great interest. No wonder that awkward child Lu Yuan had fallen at first sight. The boy had merely danced a simple dance, and had not even been willing to take off his mask. Back when so many beautiful girls had tried to seduce Lu Yuan, where had all that restraint of his gone? Straight to nowhere, probably.

If it had been someone else, he would have found it suspicious. But Bai Jinxiao's son... as long as he possessed even a tenth of his father's charm, winning over a little virgin would be no problem at all.

How nostalgic! When he was young, he had had several female confidantes around him. If he had not met Bai Jinxiao, he would never have realized he could be interested in a stinking man with the same physical structure as himself. What a pity that beauty was short-lived. Bai Jinxiao had died so young, and Lu Mingyu had never gotten to have him. His luck was not even as good as that silly boy's.

Forget all that for now. The most urgent matter was confirming whether there was actually something wrong with Lu Yuan's body—
