The morning rush hour traffic in Jingzhou was a bit too heavy. Lu Yanjin sat in the car and looked out the window impatiently.

There were new developments about the extortion letter, and he was eager to get a new investigation report.

Looking at his watch again, he asked the driver, “Is there any other way?"

Before the driver opened his mouth, the road ahead began to loosen up slowly.

But when they passed a traffic light, they realized that someone was evacuating traffic for him. Lu Yanjin frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, a car guided them in front of them without any explanation, taking them in another direction.

Grandpa is here.

The driver was a little nervous and followed him without saying a word. Lu Yanjin didn't say anything either.

Except for Uncle Mute, probably most of the people around him were arranged by his grandfather, and he knew it very well.

The driver took him to Junyou Qushe, a pear garden with a century-old history in Jingzhou. Although it is too niche, it has been well preserved.

The Junyou Music Club was closed today. There were security personnel dressed in black standing inside and outside, and "The Number One Scholar Matchmaker" was being sung on the stage.

"Young Master," a tall, thin, handsome man wearing a crisp suit and gold-rimmed glasses greeted him with a smile, “I, Yao Anyi, this is the first time we meet, please give me some advice from Master Lu in the future."

Lu Yanjin glanced at him suspiciously, “Where is my grandpa?"

"The boss is upstairs."

With that said, Lu Yanjin made a gesture of invitation and climbed up the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor.

In the quaint old-school box, the head of the Lu family, Lu Maolin, was listening to the play carefully.

Wearing a comfortable and loose Tang suit, he turned his back to Lu Yanjin and shook his head, leisurely and leisurely like a retired old man.

But Lu Yanjin knew that his grandfather was definitely not as carefree and harmless as the retired old man seemed.

"Grandpa..."

When Lu Maolin heard the voice, he turned around happily. His face was full of energy and rosy, not at all like he was in his eighties.

"Well, not bad, you are stronger than the last time I saw you, and you have grown taller too!"

Lu Yanjin smiled and sat down on the chair brought by Yao Anyi.

"Why did grandpa come here in person? Are you feeling well?"

Lu Maolin laughed while watching the show, “Everything is fine with me, I just don't trust you because I'm afraid you will be deceived!"

"I'm not a child, who can lie to me."

"Hahaha, I felt more at ease when you were a child!"

The waiter came to pour tea for the two of them. Lu Yanjin took the teapot and filled it up for grandpa herself.

The old man was still concentrating on watching the show and seemed to have no intention of chatting with him.

Lu Yanjin was pretending to be worried and couldn't sit still. After the play ended, she said, "Grandpa, I still have work to deal with over there, so I may not be able to accompany you. I'll pick you up to take you home for dinner in the evening."

"What kind of job? You have done all the work of the police and let the police have free food?"

Lu Yanjin's heart trembled. Hearing this, grandpa knew that he was investigating the blackmailer.

He almost thought that Xu Yunhe's nude photos were leaked by someone sent by his grandfather, but it didn't make sense. Grandpa really wanted to have a more direct way to deal with Xu Yunhe, not to beat around the bush like this.

"Grandpa, this matter is very important to me, Xu Yunhe is also very important to me..."

Lu Maolin changed his posture and paused the performance of the new play.

"Grandpa has told you many times that no one in this world is as important as yourself. If you put a woman in such a high position, you will make yourself very passive."

"She is my wife, carrying my children, and they are more important than me."

Lu Maolin's eyes instantly turned cold, and he thought for a moment before looking at his grandson again.

"I always thought you were a sober person, a person who would work hard to climb up if he could seize a chance. But what you say to me now will make me feel that you have been transferred to Jingzhou since you came to Jingzhou. Same thing..."

Lu Yanjin looked directly at him, and his expression turned cold, “You still don't understand me."

"How come I don't know you? When you were twelve years old, I sent someone to take you back to the Lu family. You first used my name to borrow money from the Meng family to speculate in stocks, and then invested your profits everywhere. At the age of fifteen, you bought a house in the Pacific Ocean Next island! What are you doing for this? Isn’t it just to attract my attention?"

"Yes."

Lu Yanjin admitted that he did not want to repeat the mistakes of his previous life and be the one with the least presence in the Lu family. On the contrary, he wanted everyone to see him. He wanted to become an existence that they could not ignore. He even wanted to make the Lu family look up to him. breath!

"Then what are you doing now?" Lu Maolin asked back, “You are going against my ideas now without thinking about the consequences? You have already walked in front of me with your strength and become my heir. Do you know how many people are waiting for me to change? idea, and then tear you apart? Just like those deposed princes in history!"

To prevent him from making a comeback one day, it would be safest to die.

"Why can't it be Xu Yunhe?" Lu Yanjin asked calmly, “Just for those invisible, fictional bloodlines and status that you have created? And the hierarchical system created to make it easier to control others? With just one word from you, I can be... An ant that is crushed under everyone's feet can still be aloof and honored as a 'prince', so who is not worthy of whom?"

Lu Maolin smiled bitterly, and even felt helpless, “Young people are still young people, and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!"

"I'm sorry, grandpa. I just feel that there is no conflict at all between me inheriting the Lu family and me marrying Xu Yunhe. If I have to choose between the two, I will choose Xu Yunhe."

"Hahahaha!" Lu Maolin laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears. He raised his hand and patted his grandson on the shoulder, “I'm not the kind of old guy who clings to the past and will be annoying! Look at you, you are coming to Beijing. Zhou, I agree, and I agree to deal with the He family! And before, in order to refuse the marriage, you wanted to be with Meng Tian, didn’t I also agree? It turned out that it was good for you, you met Xu Yunhe, and rejected the Meng family. Who knows if you will fall in love with someone else in the future! You young people have not yet decided on your character. You can’t tell if you will fall in love with someone you see!"

But Lu Yanjin couldn't laugh, “Grandpa, I have no intention of hiding it from you. I have never loved Meng Tian."

The old man nodded, as if I knew it!

Lu Yanjin continued, “But I love Xu Yunhe. In the past, present and future, I will only go through fire and water to fight against you for her."

"What's wrong? Didn't I say, I won't interfere with you!"

Lu Yanjin looked at him confused.

Lu Maolin continued, “It's just that you are still young. Although you have achieved some results, you are still too naive when it comes to relationships!"

Lu Yanjin was dissatisfied, “I am already married and will be a father soon. I know what I am doing."

"Yes, you are married and have children, but maybe a few years later when you look back on everything today, you will feel that this was a small mistake you made when you were young."

"Even if it is a mistake, I admit it! I admit this wife and I admit the child! Even if I regret it in the future, I will only hate myself. But if you want to stop it, I will not only hate you in the future, but also now !”
