Chapter 3243: Chapter 3235: Bygone Days
Shen Shuyi nodded quietly, agreeing with what Lin Yi said.
Sometimes, she simply couldn’t fathom Lin Yi’s thoughts.
Coincidentally, Lin Yi felt the same about Shen Shuyi.
Otherwise, such a sentiment wouldn’t exist.
The matter concerning Qi Xianzhao didn’t attract much attention, and after they left, everyone began eating happily.
Since the children were sent to Liang Xianghe’s place, the meal was unusually quiet.
Otherwise, it would have been chaotic, and they wouldn’t have been able to eat properly.
During the meal, Lin Yi and Liang Cunxiao were mainly chatting.
The conversation was about Lin Yi’s views on training and combat.
Many of Lin Yi’s ideas made Liang Cunxiao think deeply, and he nodded frequently in appreciation.
After the meal, the family split into two groups to leave.
Liang Ruoxu took Lin Yi to Liang Xianghe’s place.
Because Liang Xianghe took the children there.
At Liang Xianghe’s house, the two were drinking, and their spouses were playing with the children.
Seeing this, Lin Yi’s mouth twitched because, besides fruits, there were also two guns on the floor.
And they were real!
Lin Yi had seen those two guns before; they were Liang Xianghe’s personal belongings and were already out of production, no longer available in the market.
Back then, he wanted them, but he wouldn’t give them to him.
Now he’s actually letting his own son play with them; it’s hard not to be surprised.
And one of them was even disassembled into several pieces.
In Yan Country, not everyone gets treated like this.
Lin Yi smacked his lips, thinking his son was really ahead of everyone else!
"How’s the recovery going?"
Seeing Lin Yi come over, Liang Xianghe called him over.
"It’s all good, another week, and it should be completely healed."
Liang Xianghe nodded satisfactorily, "How’s Luo Qi?"
"She’s doing well too," Lin Yi said:
"Her injuries were more severe, probably another month."
"That girl did well, didn’t falter at the crucial moment. If it weren’t for her blocking a few stabs for Lin Yi, he wouldn’t have made it back alive," Liang Xianghe said.
"Her First-class Merit will be awarded soon; we can’t let her efforts be in vain."
"Although it’s an honor, you can’t just give her a certificate," Lin Yi laughed and said:
"Her family is developing an overseas project recently, and it seems to be going poorly. As the team leader, I can’t help at all; it’s quite embarrassing."
"Don’t give me that sarcastic tone, just stay out of it," Liang Xianghe scolded.
"How is it sarcastic? We’ve been risking our lives on the front line, there should be some tangible benefits," Lin Yi chuckled and said:
"And you’re not stingy, I know you’ve set things up, you just don’t say it out loud. Come on, let me toast you on behalf of Luo Qi."
"You’re really trying to bluff me here."
Liang Xianghe wasn’t stingy either and drank the toast from Lin Yi.
As time went by, the evening drink neared its end.
Before leaving, Liang Xianghe held Lin Cheng, kissed him on the cheek several times, and reluctantly handed the child over to Liang Ruoxu.
And he kept urging Liang Ruoxu to bring the child over in a few days, or to send him alone if possible.
Through his words, one could deeply feel Liang Xianghe’s affection for the child.
Leaving the Lu family, Liang Ruoxu drove, ready to take Liang Xianghe and Song Yuzhen back, while sighing:
"I really didn’t expect Elder Lu to be so fond of Cheng Cheng."
"I’m a bit surprised too," Lin Yi said:
"But come to think of it, if the old man had lived a few more years, our three generations would’ve all been taken care of by him."
"Seems like that’s really the case."
"Cheng Cheng is a lucky break for you guys, if that kid were still around, it probably wouldn’t be like this," Liang Xianghe mumbled.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu were stunned.
The words sounded a bit odd, as if there was more to them.
"If you’ve had too much, just sleep, why so much nonsense,"
Song Yuzhen chided, and Liang Xianghe stopped talking, seemingly realizing he’d misspoken.
He closed his eyes, leaning back in the seat, seemingly falling asleep.
But before they got home, Song Yuzhen kept poking him now and then to keep him from actually falling asleep.
About twenty minutes later, they dropped Liang Xianghe and Song Yuzhen at their doorstep before getting back into the car.
"Who was the old man referring to earlier?" Lin Yi curiously asked.
"I guess it’s Elder Lu’s other son."
"Huh? Isn’t Uncle Lu doing well now?"
"Not Uncle Lu, maybe another one."
"Huh?"
Lin Yi made a face of a curious bystander, "Does this have some historical baggage?"
"Don’t get the wrong idea, the old man’s a righteous guy, unlike you."
"Hey, hey, hey, I’m righteous too, don’t say that," Lin Yi said:
"Don’t change the subject, tell me, what’s the deal?"
"Actually, the old man had three kids; I suppose you didn’t know that."
"Huh? Three?" Lin Yi was shocked.
Liang Ruoxu nodded, "Uncle Lu was the eldest, so the old man wanted a daughter, you know, a complete set. Eventually, he got lucky enough to have twins."
"Even in those times, with Elder Lu’s status, supporting three kids shouldn’t have been a problem."
"Of course, they might not have eaten delicacies all the time, but being well-fed wasn’t an issue."
"Why is only Uncle Lu left now?"
"Aunt Lu was sacrificed."
As soon as this was said, Lin Yi instantly understood.
"The other Uncle Lu, was he also sacrificed?"
"Seems like it, but there hasn’t been any clear news released, so I don’t know," Liang Ruoxu said:
"But not many people know about this, and in our family, it’s kind of a taboo topic."
"It even affected your family?"
"Yes, it really did," Liang Ruoxu said:
"I remember one New Year, my mom took me to the old man’s house to pay respects. I saw a black and white photo of Uncle Lu and them, and I pointed to the other Uncle Lu, asking who he was; then my mom scolded me."
Whew~~~
Liang Ruoxu took a deep breath.
"And when we got home, she even gave me a beating, telling me never to mention or ask about it again."
"And you just obediently listened and never asked a word?" Lin Yi teased:
"Our grand Miss of Jing City just chickened out like that?"
"I had no choice," Liang Ruoxu said helplessly:
"When my mom was beating me, my grandparents and dad were there, and no one stopped her. I realized it was a big deal, and I didn’t dare ask again. Besides, as I grew up, I naturally forgot about it."
