At the same time, Lu Lin was bombarded with a barrage of calls from Lu Han and forced to return to the Lu Family's old residence.
For some unknown reason, Lu Muchi ran back to the banquet that evening to refuse the marriage proposal, Qi Family left on the spot.
Lu Changcheng was so angry that his blood pressure soared. He gave Lu Muchi a solid beating with his cane, confiscated his phone, and locked him in his room for several days.
Lu Han tried to persuade him from both sides, but no one paid any attention to him.
Everything in Lu Muchi's room was smashed, and his bodyguard was beaten black and blue.
The bodyguards dared not fight back, nor did they dare let him go; they took turns guarding the door.
Lu Han paced anxiously back and forth at the door. It was almost midnight when Lu Lin's car finally arrived.
Lu Lin let the driver go home and drove back himself.
He wasn't planning to stay overnight, so he parked his car outside.
As soon as he got out of the car, Lu Han rushed up and complained, " A-Lin, I really don't know what to do. They're both so stubborn, one No. 1 Primary School. Please go in and try to talk them out!"
Lu Lin was unaware of the specifics; he only received a call from the doctor saying that Lu Changcheng's blood pressure was over 200.
Now that he knew the whole story, he stopped. "Since my blood pressure has gone down, I'm going back."
Lu Han's face instantly turned grim. He knew Lu Lin looked down on him, his own brother. For so many years, Lu Lin had never attended his birthday parties, making him lose face completely. Lu Han secretly clenched his fists, forcing a smile, "Dad hasn't eaten or drunk anything right now, and his blood pressure is dangerous if it drops. He won't listen to me anyway. If you're going to abandon him, I had no choice but to call Mom over."
Lu Han and Lu Ruchan's feelings had long faded. They had spent some time together when they were young, but Lu Ruchan Lu Ruchan fell ill and moved away, so they rarely saw each other anymore. When he divorced Xu Qiaoyin, Lu Ruchan even came over and slapped him several times in public. Lu Han then held a grudge against Lu Ruchan and never visited Lu Ruchan again.
Her father wasn't wrong. They were the same Lu, but it mattered which Lu they were talking about. In Lu Ruchan's heart, the one she cherished most was Lu Lin, who shared her surname.
Lu Lin's only weakness is Lu Ruchan.
Lu Han pretended to take out his phone.
Lu Lin didn't stop him.
His hand, gripping the phone, froze for a few seconds, then Lu Han sighed and shoved the phone back in. "It's too late, I won't bother Mom. You should go. All I can do is try to persuade Dad again. If he still doesn't eat, then we'll just have to leave it to fate."
Bang!
At that moment, a loud bang came from the villa.
Then came Lu Changcheng's furious roar, "Grab him!"
Amidst the hurried and chaotic footsteps, Lu Han rushed in, only to be met by Lu Muchi, who was running at breakneck speed. Seeing that Lu Lin didn't react at all, he continued to rush forward, with bodyguards in hot pursuit behind him.
Lu Han shouted angrily, "You little brat, stop right there!"
Lu Muchi ignored him, a victorious smile spreading across his face as he looked at the gate. Just as he reached the door, he saw the figure outside. He felt a chill and stopped abruptly. The bodyguards who had caught up also stopped and lowered their heads when they saw Lu Lin, not daring to pursue him any further.
Lu Muchi obediently called out, "Uncle."
Lu Lin's gaze fell on Lu Muchi's right hand, where blood was dripping down the back of his hand. He was barefoot and not wearing shoes.
Supported by a servant, Lu Changcheng caught up. His eyesight was failing, especially at night, and he didn't notice Lu Lin. He pointed his cane at Lu Muchi and roared, "Run! Run to the ends of the earth, but don't even think about being with that brat Lin Fengzhi!"
The marriage alliance was a minor matter; Lu Muchi's refusal to marry in front of everyone was a blow to his authority, which was something Lu Changcheng could not tolerate. He couldn't bear to blame his precious grandson, so he Lin Fengzhi entirely.
Lu Muchi refused the marriage proposal only because Lin Fengzhi was present!
What a fine young master of the Lu Family! He's been completely corrupted by those lowlifes!
Lu Muchi was somewhat surprised to hear Lin Fengzhi.
However, he reacted quickly and guessed the reason. He originally thought that Lin Fengzhi's refusal to marry him.
Lu Muchi did not refute.
It's good that it's a misunderstanding; it'll save his grandfather from going to Yan Heqing's place. Yan Heqing must have been very moved that night when he witnessed him rejecting the marriage proposal.
Lu Muchi longed for Yan Heqing.
If Lu Changcheng hadn't locked him up that night, he wouldn't have been so desperate. The more he was hindered, the stronger his longing for Yan Heqing became, like wild grass growing ever more luxuriantly each day.
He desperately wanted to see Yan Heqing!
Lu Changcheng noticed the bloodstains on the ground and trembled all over. "You idiots! Get the young master inside and treat his wounds!"
The bodyguards exchanged glances, then looked at Lu Lin.
Lu Changcheng then noticed Lu Lin, whose blood pressure spiked again, and he was lining up to annoy him!
Lu Lin didn't say anything, simply bowed to Lu Changcheng, and turned to leave.
Lu Changcheng's eyes twitched, and he stomped his cane with a deafening roar, venting his anger on his bodyguards, "Are you all deaf?! What are you standing there for?!"
The bodyguards then stepped forward to restrain Lu Muchi.
On the way back, the car was quiet. After a while, Lu Lin turned on some music.

Yan Heqing has been sleeping soundly through the night lately, and he gets up promptly at six o'clock.
As usual, I first washed up, reviewed my textbooks, and then cooked breakfast.
After finishing everything at seven o'clock, he prepared to leave. He went to the door to change his shoes, paused, then went back to the kitchen and steamed twenty more dumplings, packing them into a lunchbox.
I arrived at the school gate half an hour early.
School starts tomorrow, and many students have returned to campus one after another. However, it is still early, and the campus is still quiet as if asleep. Only a small side gate is open at the main gate, and Yan Heqing is waiting in front of the side gate.
The temperature rose, and it wasn't too cold today, so Yan Heqing wore an orange puffer jacket.
It's the color of a ripe persimmon, not bright, but a low-key and understated orange that really complements her skin tone. Yan Heqing has a cool-toned fair complexion, and with the nutrition she's received over the past few months, her small face is fair and radiant, as if her whole face is glowing.
In the distance, a bicycle approaches.
Except for the few days of Chinese New Year, Gu Xingye would come to school to do experiments during holidays. He was going to apply for a project next semester. As he was about to enter the school gate, he suddenly glanced ahead in surprise.
A slender young man appeared to be waiting for someone.
From Gu Xingye's perspective, he could barely see half of her face.
For a moment, he was momentarily confused; it looked somewhat like Lin Fengzhi. But when he stopped, bracing himself on one foot, and looked again, he realized it wasn't him.
The boy was a few centimeters taller and thinner than Lin Fengzhi, but their overall demeanor was completely different.
