ed Wen Man to fare better.Their conversations made her feel like she was already part of the family, and they even invited her to Huo Mingzhu's birthday party. Wen Man couldn't refuse their warm invit...Zhang Baiyan stood at the entrance of Lu Garden.

He recalled past events, remembering his pitiful and wretched state as a child, finding it only pathetic.

A cold wind blew through.

The sudden gust of wind jolted him awake. His fleeting impulse dissipated like smoke in the breeze, leaving nothing behind.

Zhang Baiyan, what are you doing

He took a step back, slumping against the black Range Rover. His hands trembled as he reached for his cigarette case, wanting to light one up and calm his nerves. Just then, the gate to Lu Yuan opened, and a white Maserati drove out. There was no need to guess – it must be Lu You.

Last night Lu You arrived in City C. Today is the 26th day of the lunar month, and she plans to buy some gifts for her elderly family members.

So I went out early.

As the car drove out of Lu Garden, she saw Zhang Baiyan.

Black off-road vehicle,

He stood in black, leaning against the car, smoking quietly.

Lu You's eyes were stinging. Before reason returned, the white Maserati screeched to a halt... She gripped the steering wheel, staring ahead for a long time. Finally, her body seemed to regain its function, unbuckling her seatbelt and getting out of the car.

Walking up to Zhang Baiyan, Lu You tilted her head and softly asked, "How did you get here"

Zhang Baiyan pinched the cigarette, lowering his head to finish the last puff.

Looking at her again, a coldness flashed in his black eyes. He gazed deeply into the Lu's mansion courtyard, "I've been here before. It wasn't a pleasant memory when I was very young... Lu You, you said you wanted to break up and leave back then. Now that you're getting married, it makes sense! But..."

Zhang Baiyan's gaze was deep.

He meant, if he had known the truth back then, she would never have known he wouldn't choose to be with her.

What gives her the right to decide for him

But he didn't say any more.

Because there's no "if," life is the result of countless choices... Lu You had already made her choice, and he should have too.

Lu You wore a white, loose overcoat and stood in the morning mist.

He stood for a long time, with small dewdrops clinging to his eyelashes.

It took her a long time to digest the meaning of his words. It turned out... Zhang Baiyan had known her identity all along, and he had known all along why she was going to break up with him.

< >I roughly know what she's thinking, Zhang Baiyan smiled faintly: "That's it!" < >

"Zhang Baiyan."

Lu You suddenly called him out, she looked directly into his eyes without any retreat. She said very softly, "You came here just to blame me for my weakness, right Then Zhang Baiyan, I ask you, do you dare Do you dare now to say that you can let go of everything, defy your mother and be with me Can you face the accusing eyes of the entire Zhang family calmly, can you bear the shame of being unfilial If you can, then you can blame me, otherwise you have no right."

As she said these words, she couldn't help but reminisce about the past, remembering the pain of that time.

Ignorant in youth, oblivious to consequences.

She has paid the price.

Under the scorching sun, two figures stood facing each other in a tense standoff. After an extended silence, he finally looked at her and softly asked, "Before we broke up, why did you sleep with me"

The atmosphere was tense.

The cold wind blew Lu You's hair around, covering half her face.

Also confused her eyes.

She lowered her eyes, hiding the moisture within them and softly said, "Perhaps it's unwillingness. After all, I chased after you for so long, Zhang Baiyan... You were really aloof back then."

She let out a self-deprecating laugh, and he stared at her before ultimately choosing to leave.

The black Range Rover door slammed shut.

Keep driving.

Maybe he had started the car too quickly, the tires screeching against the ground... Zhang Baiyan drove, in his rearview mirror, he saw Lu You, her figure slowly shrinking, fading into the distance.

Just like back then, she got into Ye Bai's car and left him behind.

It turns out that love really does come in cycles.

Zhang Baiyan thought he should feel relieved. At the entrance of Lu Yuan, he had left behind Lu Qian's beloved daughter... He should be relieved, shouldn't he But why were his hands trembling on the steering wheel

He fumbled in his pocket for his cigarette case, but it was empty.

The car horn blared suddenly.

Lu You stood there for a long time, probably the gatekeeper acted as a megaphone, and a person slowly walked out of Lu's garden, none other than Lu Qian.

Lu Qian only saw a taillight, then turned his attention to his young daughter.

Lu You stood there, a few teardrops the size of beans sliding down from the corner of her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away.

"New boyfriend Fighting"

Lu Qian walked over and wiped the tears from his daughter's face, "Your mother said you went to buy New Year's goods, I was wondering why, so you came over for a date early Did you have an argument"

Lu You shook her head, and for a moment she choked back tears: "No! People I knew before."

Lu Qian's gaze was profound, he drawled, "It's someone I knew before. Then it must be that he wasn't good enough, Xiaolu You didn't choose him."

Lu You still shook her head. She threw herself into her father's arms, putting her little face on his shoulder.

Lu Qian patted her shoulder: "If it's Dad who isn't good enough, Dad is willing to apologize to them for you...Don't cry anymore, your mother will be heartbroken if she knows."

Lu You cried even harder.

Her father was a bachelor for many years when he was young because of his career. He and her mother also spent many years together before they truly got together. Back then, there was nothing wrong with the way he handled things; he should have handled it fairly.

She cannot let her own personal feelings make her father apologize to someone against his will.

It's been so many years, she and Zhang Baiyan are no longer the same.

She shook her head in Lu Qian's arms, then gently hugged her father's body for a while, looking like a well-behaved baby... Lu Qian loved her very much and couldn't bear to let her drive out alone. So he called a driver and went out with her himself.

In two days' time, Lu Suo will be back with Lu Xun.

A whole family, all together.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, Huo Mingzhu took Lu Xun through their household expenses. These kinds of things were not something the women in the family enjoyed doing, but Mingzhu figured it was important for Lu Xun to learn how to manage them.

After everything was tidied up, Mingzhu called a maid over and had two bowls of bird's nest soup brought. She said softly, "It's freshly cooked, try it."

Lu Xun immediately knew she had something to say.

Indeed, after eating bird's nest, Huo Mingzhu took out several photos of men for her to see and told her about their general situations. Finally, she asked: "Xiao Xun, which one do you think has the best fate with your sister"

Lu Xun is innocent and usually doesn't like to get involved in things, but Lu You is the treasure of the family.

Even in the bedroom, her husband Lu Shuo would also say a few words to her, so she knew about Zhang Baiyan.

When Grandma asked, Lu Xun still respectfully took a look.

Lastly, she whispered, "None of them are as handsome as Mr. Zhang."

...

Looking at her daughter-in-law for a long time, she finally let out a sigh: "Yes! That one is really good-looking. Otherwise, your sister wouldn't have been so infatuated back then! But after all, they were destined not to be together, and I can't bear to see her go into such a family."

Huo Mingzhu, allowing Lu Xun to get closer, voiced her concerns.s a little deep.In the evening, Lao Zhao called him. He knew that Wen Man had met with Gu Changqing, and coupled with Gu Changqing's provocative words earlier, he was actually a little bit annoyed.He...
