Chapter 142 Arrogant Second-Generation Prodigy (Gong) VS Humble, Sensitive, and Invisible (Shou) [80
His first and only request was for his mother to pass on a message to his father.
Lu Xingye no longer wanted to see that father, and his mother knew this, so she agreed.
The two met at the place where they first met. Lu's father went alone, and Lu's mother, upon seeing this, simply mentioned Lu Xingye's terrible condition when he first returned home, and then said nothing more.
She did not tell Lu Zhengnian the exchange terms that Lu Xingye had prepared.
The condition was that Lu Xingye was willing to be a qualified heir. He chose to give up his freedom in exchange for his future with Jiang Xiyu.
Many years ago, she used her own life to tell Lu Zhengnian that freedom is important.
Now, her son is offering his freedom in exchange for saying that love is important.
Freedom and love are both things that Lu Zhengnian and she owe Xingye. This time, Xu Wu is still willing to fight for him again in her own way.
She no longer wanted to talk about the loves and hates of her youth, but felt that Lu Zhengnian's eventual fate of being separated from his wife and children was his own fault.
But in the end, you shouldn't sacrifice anything for your own child.
However, Lu Zhengnian was the kind of person who could investigate everything, so Xu Wu didn't say much.
Lu Zhengnian looked at her and calmly took a sip of tea.
The marks from when she broke into the Lu residence and slashed his neck with a knife were still there. Xu Wu remembered his blood clotting disorder, but she only glanced at them before looking away.
The tea on the table had gone cold, and it had started raining outside sometime during the day—a completely different weather from when we first met.
After struggling for a while, Xu Wu gripped the bag tightly in her hand as if she had made up her mind, and suddenly said to him, "Give me a ride."
Lu Zhengnian did not refuse: "Okay."
……
An hour later, the hashtag "Xu Wu's car accident" went viral on Weibo.
When Jiang Xiyu and Lu Xingye arrived at the hospital as quickly as possible after seeing the news, Lu's mother was unconscious, while Lu's father, who had also been in a car accident, was still being treated.
The doctor told them that Lu's mother's injuries were not very serious, but Lu's father was probably too badly injured and had lost too much blood. The doctor immediately issued a critical condition notice.
After signing the document, Lu Xingye's expression was somewhat complicated.
Jiang Xiyu stayed by his side, and the two of them, with red eyes, stayed until Lu's mother woke up and until Lu's father's surgery was over.
As Lu's mother lay in the hospital bed, her hand resting on the bed trembled almost imperceptibly when she heard the doctor say that Lu's father might never be able to stand up again.
She actually wanted to speak, but found that her throat was tightly closed and she couldn't make a sound, so she closed her eyes and hid all her emotions in her heart.
Even when Lu Xingye asked her later, Lu's mother never mentioned what happened in the car accident.
The following spring, Lu Xingye received the agreement delivered by his father.
The agreement was simple: Lu's father agreed to Lu Xingye's conditions, and Lu Xingye had to fulfill his promise that once he was qualified to inherit all of Lu's properties, he had to return.
Lu Xingye told Jiang Xiyu about his plan to study abroad one morning.
Jiang Xiyu was still asleep when Lu Xingye received the message that his plane ticket had been booked.
He looked at it for a while, then threw the phone away and hugged Jiang Xiyu tightly.
Jiang Xiyu was woken up by him. She opened her blurry eyes and mumbled that she was having trouble breathing.
Lu Xingye relaxed a little and asked, "Is there anything that's bothering you?"
Jiang Xiyu blushed and nodded honestly, saying that the area where she had her breast implants hurt a little.
Lu Xingye chuckled secretly and admitted his mistake in a low voice: "It's my fault, it's my fault, it's all my fault."
He has now mastered Jiang Xiyu's skill in apologizing.
Every time he went too far, Jiang Xiyu would soften her heart when he apologized, looking like a pitiful kitten.
So he opened his eyes for a moment and then closed them again, saying skillfully, "It's okay, I forgive you."
Lu Xingye watched him fall asleep before quietly getting out of bed.
When Jiang Xiyu woke up again, she found Lu Xingye packing his things.
Jiang Xiyu was completely stunned. She quickly sat up and asked him, "What are you doing? Are you leaving?"
Lu Xingye casually said that he was going abroad.
Jiang Xiyu was a little taken aback, and her eyes immediately turned red after she came to her senses.
He stood barefoot on the carpet, hugging Lu Xingye's back, and said sadly, "Why do you suddenly want to go abroad? Can't we not go abroad? I, I..."
He, I, I, I couldn't come up with a conclusion even after a long time.
Lu Xingye knew he had misunderstood, so he turned around and put his arm around his waist, amused, and said, "Why are you crying?"
As he spoke, his gaze wandered around a bit, then he looked at the messy suitcase and said with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, "I don't know what clothes you want to bring... I don't seem to be very good at folding clothes either, could you help me fold them?"
"If we're any later, we might miss our flight."
Jiang Xiyu's eyes widened, then she blinked, feeling a stinging sensation. She was genuinely terrified by the news. After a long pause, she hesitantly pointed to herself and said, "Me, can I go too?"
Lu Xingye frowned: "Otherwise what?"
“You’ll be studying abroad for four years, and you’ll have to too, but I can’t keep up without you.” He deliberately drew out his words, mimicking Jiang Xiyu’s coaxing tone, “Besides, what will I do if I get married without a groom?”
In an instant, Jiang Xiyu's face turned red.
As if stunned by the surprise, he stammered, "Really, really, are we getting married?"
Lu Xingye leaned closer and nibbled on his ear, then feigned anger and snorted, "What, you're not going to take responsibility after proposing?"
Jiang Xiyu turned her head away, pleading, "No, no, that's not what I meant. I'll take responsibility, I'll take responsibility."
Lu Xingye held his hand and stroked it gently, then chuckled softly, "Then let's hurry up and pack, let's elope."
Jiang Xiyu smiled and nodded, "Mhm."
Let's become better together, and then head towards happiness.
……
At the end of their fourth year abroad, they completed their studies.
Lu Xingye also married Jiang Xiyu.
They flew back from abroad as soon as they got their marriage certificate on their wedding day.
Lu's mother was at the airport early in the morning to pick him up. She was bundled up tightly, and the butler stood respectfully to the side with several bodyguards.
The two individuals, despite their good physiques and wearing masks, remained the focus of attention in the crowd.
They walked out hand in hand. Lu Xingye pushed two suitcases, his black hair pulled back, the youthful innocence between his brows fading, replaced by a deeper and more composed demeanor.
Jiang Xiyu hasn't changed much; she's still clean and tidy, but she looks much more cheerful and bright.
When he saw Lu's mother, he smiled happily and his eyes crinkled. He then waved to greet her.
Lu's mother also smiled and waved.
Seeing that he was about to leave him and run to his mother, Lu Xingye casually put his arm around his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Don't walk too fast. It will be hard for me to push two suitcases and follow you."
He emphasized the word "laborious".
Jiang Xiyu smiled and pretended to help him push one.
Lu Xingye refused again.
With no other option, Jiang Xiyu slowed down, muttering to herself: Although 23-year-old Lu Xingye has matured a lot, he still retains a bit of a childish temper. He's really quite jealous.
When Jiang Xiyu reached Lu's mother, he gave her a big hug and called her "Auntie" with a smile.
Lu's mother hugged him too, teasingly saying, "Are you still calling me 'Auntie'? Shouldn't you change how you address me?"
Jiang Xiyu was stunned for a moment, his ears turning completely red. Under the smiling gazes of Lu's mother, the housekeeper, and Lu Xingye, he gently and with a smile changed his address, calling out a name he hadn't used in a long time, his tone solemn yet gentle: "Mom."
Mother Lu responded emphatically, "Yes."
Then he took out a large red envelope and stuffed it into his arms.
After getting into the car, Lu Xingye sat next to him, helped him get a scarf and mask, and then carefully smoothed his sticking-out hair.
As he stroked it, he asked, "Are you tired?"
Jiang Xiyu replied, "Not tired."
At first, he wasn't used to Lu Xingye taking care of him like this, but when they were abroad, Lu Xingye took care of him most of the time, and gradually, Jiang Xiyu got used to it.
He also enjoys his lover's care.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Lu family's house.
The villa has been decorated beautifully because today is not only Christmas, but also Lu Xingye and his mother's birthday.
After they finished eating, they stood at the door looking at the beautiful Christmas trees.
The moment their eyes met, neither of them spoke first.
Lu's mother and the housekeeper were secretly watching from behind the door. They were moved by what they saw, and Lu's mother immediately took out her phone to capture the scene.
A long time has passed, and it seems that they only have each other in their eyes.
No one and nothing can get involved.
They faced each other silently, their heartbeats heavy.
Jiang Xiyu was tense all day, and even now she still can't calm down.
He stared intently at the handsome and noble man, the image overlapping and separating with the past. After a long, long time, Jiang Xiyu took a deep breath and said softly to him, "Happy birthday, Xingye-ge."
Lu Xingye raised an eyebrow and smiled as he replied, "You too, happy wedding."
Jiang Xiyu smiled shyly, but her eyes welled up with a mist of happiness.
He has a family now, and he truly has a lover.
On this special day, it was their fifth Christmas together.
Happiness just happened to all come together.
Happy Birthday, Lu Xingye! Merry Christmas, Lu Xingye!
Finally, congratulations to Lu Xingye and Jiang Xiyu on their marriage!
