Novel Full Chapter 1702 - 1702 What If I Say No?
1702 What If I Say No?
The Lu family had changed a lot.
She was no longer the eldest daughter of the Lu family who could do whatever she wanted.
Lu Yaolan leaned over to tease Gun Gun. “Gun Gun, can I bring you to the amusement park next time?”
Gun Gun smiled childishly. “That depends on whether Bei Bei agrees or not.”
Su Bei sensed that Lu Yaolan was deliberately getting close to her, but she did not know what her personality was like.
She smiled. “Sure, but Aunt, Gun Gun has a lot of extracurricular classes recently and can’t spare any time for now. We’ll ask you out when we have time, okay?”
She put it very tactfully.
There was indeed nothing wrong with it. Which child wasn’t being trained to become an elite now?
However, Lu Yaolan was still a little embarrassed and felt rejected.
Old Master Lu smiled and said, “Gun Gun loves to study. He wants to try all kinds of classes. Yaolan, if you want to ask Gun Gun out, you’ll have to wait in line for a long time. Da Bao, on the other hand, has time.”
Lu Yaolan glanced at Da Bao. Da Bao’s aura was very similar to Lu Heting’s. Although it was weaker than Lu Heting’s, he could not be underestimated.
Of course, she would not try to get close to Da Bao. Besides, bringing Da Bao out to play… She did not seem to know what to play with him.
“Da Bao, will you go?”
“I have class,” Da Bao replied. He didn’t need Bei Bei to reject the offer for him.
Lu Yaolan once again felt that this family was incompatible with her.
Actually, she was overthinking. Da Bao and Gun Gun had always been like this. They were just like Lu Heting and Lu Weijian when they were young. The entire family did not think that there was anything wrong with it, but she felt alienated.
In addition, Lu Weijian was not close to her. Instead, he sat beside Han Qingwan and acted like a spoiled child. Lu Yaolan’s fingers tightened slightly.
She recalled what she had heard previously. Han Qingwan almost hit Lu Weijian with her car once. However, just like that, Lu Weijian forgave her and was willing to be close to her again.
He had forgotten about his biological mother.
All of a sudden, she felt a little disheartened.
She had been back for so long, but only the Fu family sincerely welcomed her.
After the meal, Lu Weijian instructed the servants to pack Han Qingwan’s luggage. “This time, my mother will definitely stay for a few more days. Isn’t that right, Mom?”
Han Qingwan was about to nod when she saw Lu Yaolan’s gaze.
She smiled. “Weijian, you’ve gotten used to calling me that since you’ve been doing it when you were young. It’s better to change the way you address me in the future, lest Yaolan and I get confused.”
Lu Weijian didn’t say anything, so Old Madam Lu nodded. “That’s right. You should call her Aunt in the future. It’s more convenient that way.”
“Got it,” Lu Weijian replied.
Han Qingwan’s heart actually ached for Lu Weijian. Although she wasn’t the one who gave birth to the child, she was the one who raised him. How could she not know how badly he had suffered?
However, Lu Yaolan had also suffered a lot. She could empathize with her and could not blame a woman for not fulfilling her duty as a mother.
How could she snatch Lu Yaolan’s son away from her?
“Won’t you call out to your mom now?” Old Madam Lu pushed Lu Weijian.
Lu Weijian looked at Lu Yaolan and said, “Mom.”
Tears welled up in Lu Yaolan’s eyes as she said, “Dad, Mom, Sister-in-law, it’s been hard on you all these years. I really feel guilty toward you.”
Han Qingwan was a little lost. Gun Gun ran to her side and opened his arms. “Grandma, carry me!”
Han Qingwan immediately threw away all her emotions and picked Gun Gun up.
Lu Yaolan’s eyes flashed, but she did not show it.
After leaving the Lu family’s mansion, Lu Heting asked Su Bei, “Do you have a problem with Aunt?”
“No. After all, she hasn’t been back for more than 20 years. I’m just really uneasy about leaving Da Bao and Gun Gun with her,” she said truthfully.
Even if Lu Heting agreed, she would never agree.
No one knew Lu Yaolan well.
Lu Heting tilted his head and said, “Actually, I have the same concerns as you.”
Only then did Su Bei smile. “You think so too.”
“How can we casually hand our children over to someone we’re unfamiliar with? We can’ do that even if she’s my biological aunt.”
The couple was on the same side, so there was naturally no estrangement between them. Su Bei said naturally, “She’s been away for so long. Actually, apart from Grandpa and Grandma, no one knows her well. It’s fine for us to be a family, but when it comes to Da Bao and Gun Gun, we have to be careful.”
“Yes.” Lu Heting nodded. “The next time the two children come to the Lu family’s mansion, I’ll pay special attention to this problem.”
Since Lu Yaolan was a family member, the Lu family did not mind having another mouth to feed.
…
Lu Yaolan took some desserts to Lu Weijian’s room.
“Weijian, let’s have a good chat,” she said as she sat down.
“Go ahead.” Lu Weijian didn’t reject her. He pulled a chair and sat down in front of her.
Lu Yaolan said calmly, “Grandpa doesn’t want you to manage the Huo family, and neither do I. After all, we have nothing to do with the Huo family anymore.”
Lu Weijian remained silent.
“Weijian, think about it. If the Huo family hadn’t gone overboard back then, you could have lived a happy and healthy life. You wouldn’t have needed to leave your parents’ side, and you would’ve been able to grow up like other children,” Lu Yaolan advised earnestly.
“What if I say no?” Lu Weijian asked.
Lu Yaolan was very disappointed.
Her son was already so cold to her, but he could forgive the Huo family and help them manage their family business.
“Do you hate me, Weijian?”
“Not really,” Lu Weijian said indifferently. “Besides, it has nothing to do with whether I hate you or not. My feelings for you won’t affect my decisions.”
Lu Yaolan knew that she really did not understand her son.
More than 20 years had passed.
The whole house had changed.
It was no longer the Lu family she was familiar with.
Her words were no longer as influential as before.
“Son, what if I use my identity as your mother to ask you to stay away from the Huo family?” Lu Yaolan said.
Lu Weijian thought for a while. “Then I’ll tell you as your son that you don’t have to worry about me.”
The mother and son parted on bad terms.
Old Master Lu was also very disappointed when he heard the news.
“He takes after you. He’s arrogant and stubborn.” Old Master Lu sighed. “You should accompany him during this period of time. Anyway, I won’t let him leave the Lu family.”
…
It was the weekend again.
Lu Heting and Su Bei came over for dinner.
They did not bring Da Bao and Gun Gun along.
Lu Heting went upstairs to the study. When he stepped on the stairs, he saw Lu Yaolan coming down from the second floor.
The two of them stopped in their tracks.
“Heting.” Lu Yaolan was the first to greet him. She could recognize the situation and knew who had the final say in the Lu family now.
