Song Ci smiled smugly. No wonder Lu Gan liked to tease her. It was so fun. She liked doing it now too. His reactions were so amusing. Song Ci bent down and whispered into Lu Gan’s ear, “I’m just kidding. After so many years, my secret love has finally borne fruit. Without a doubt, I cherish it. I’ll sleep with you tonight.”
Lu Gan instantly came to life.
“You’re not going to sleep with Yujin anymore?”
“Yu Jin is already 6 years old. He’s very mature. On the other hand, you’re only 26 years old. You still need someone to look after you!”
Song Ci said with a smile.
Lu Gan pressed the space between his brows. He did not utter another word and pushed his wheelchair toward the study room.
Song Ci followed from behind. Just as she was about to ask him what he wanted to eat for lunch, Lu Gan’s phone rang.
It was Lu Hongyong. He reminded Lu Gan about the trip to the Lu family’s residence for their family meeting this afternoon.
Lu Gan nodded and said, “Do you still remember what I said before?”
“I do.”
Lu Hongyong was displeased when he heard Song Ci’s name. That woman even had a child with her. How could she marry Lu Gan? Besides, Song Yujin had his own father.
Obviously, Lu Hongyong did not say these words in front of Lu Gan. Otherwise, their family meeting would be filled with quarrels. Moreover, Lu Gan was not lacking any support.
That day, the Lu family’s residence was very lively. Lu Hongyong had two younger brothers, Lu Hongju and Lu Hongchang. He also had a younger sister, Lu Suying. They brought their spouses and children with them. It was truly a big family.
When everyone had arrived, Lu Hongyong said, “The children can stay on the first floor to play. Lu Xu, keep an eye on them. As for the rest of you, go to the conference room.”
The conference room was on the third floor. Song Ci looked around the entire first floor. There was no elevator! The Lu family clearly did not lack money. This meant Lu Hongyong was not bothered with Lu Gan.
Song Ci frowned unhappily and asked around for assistance. She was very disappointed with the Lu family and felt sorry for Lu Gan. Despite that, she did not show it.
Only Lu Chunyue walked to Lu Gan’s side and said, “I can help”
Song Ci was pleased to hear her words. She thanked Lu Chunyue.
“You’re welcome.”
Lu Chunyue said as she supported Lu Gan.
When they reached a corner, Lu Chunyue saw Lu Xu sitting on the sofa. The latter was playing games on his phone. He did not care about the people surrounding him. Lu Chunyue raised her voice and shouted at him, “Lu Xu, stop playing. You’re the oldest so keep an eye on your little nephews and nieces!”
Lu Xu nodded reluctantly and put down his phone with a displeased expression.
Lu Chunyue pursed her lips. She was equally dissatisfied and complained to Lu Gan, “Lu Xu is already ten years old this year. Since he’s my father’s eldest grandson, he’s spoiled. He can’t differentiate between right and wrong. All he does is play games all day.”
Lu Gan chuckled.
“You have to be more strict with him.”
“Right? But my father disagrees. No matter what I said, he won’t listen.”
Lu Chunyue glanced at Lu Gan. Among the men in their family, he and his late brother were the most outstanding. Unfortunately, one died and the other was injured.
“Second brother…”
Lu Chunyue said softly.
“I know that you’re in pain, but I still think you should take over Lu Corporation. Lu Heng would have wanted you to replace him. It shouldn’t be Lu Jie.”
When Lu Hongyong said something like this, he had to face Lu Gan’s fury.
However, when Lu Chunyue said it, Lu Gan stayed silent. Finally, he said in a low voice, “I’m not in good health nor do I have the energy. Chunyue, do you understand? I just want to lead a peaceful life with my family. Nothing else matters.”
Lu Chunyue could hear the sadness in Lu Gan’s words. She sighed and stopped talking.
The conference room on the third floor was huge. Everyone took their seats, but there was no place for Song Ci.
Lu Hongyong said in an unemotional and practical manner, “This is Song Ci’s first time attending our family meeting. My memory is bad because I’m old. I forgot to tell the maid to prepare a chair for you. Just stand there for a while.”
Lu Gan sneered. He did not expect to be so angry right from the start. Lu Heng’s seat was reserved for him. It was the opposite of Lu Hongyong’s. Lu Gan looked at his father. Then, he reached out and pulled Song Ci into his arms, pressing her down onto his lap.
“There’s no need. Since we’re married, she can just sit in my arms.”
