After she died, Mr. Bo knelt in front of the tombstone and cried like a dog.

Half past nine in the evening.

In a high-end retro building apartment in the 6th arrondissement of Paris.

Lu Zhilu was pestered by his three-year-old nephew to build a small house with building blocks. Although he was impatient, Xiao Jinyan held his thighs with both hands and begged him for a long time.

Those pair of black and clear pupils like black glass just stared at him, and kept shouting "uncle" with a stern face and a sweet voice. They looked like a miniature version of Lu Zhifang.

Thinking of his eldest brother, even though he no longer wanted to take care of the child, he bent down and picked up little Jinyan, and asked warmly: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, does Jinyan miss uncle?"

Xiao Jinyan frowned and asked, "Think! Why doesn't aunt come?"

Xia Xun just took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and said to Lu Zhilu: "The dry red wine made by Chateau Petrus last year was made specially for you because I know you like it. Jin Yan, take uncle there quickly." Wash your hands and get ready to eat.”

Xiao Jinyan took Lu Zhilu's big hand and happily took Lu Zhilu to the bathroom to wash his hands.

During the meal, Xiao Jinyan asked Xia Xun: "Mommy, will Uncle stay at our house tonight?"

Xia Xun peeled the shrimp for the child and said with a smile: "Don't stop, uncle will have to go back to work later."

Xiao Jinyan grabbed the rice spoon and felt unhappy.

Lu Zhilu comforted him, "I'll wait until you fall asleep before uncle leaves."

Xia Xun glanced at him and sighed softly: "You don't have to spoil him. You are here on a business trip. If you are really busy or have work to do, it doesn't matter if you come to see him next time. But you yourself are not too young to say that you are young. You are so patient with Jin Yan, why don’t you have any patience with your own marriage?”

She knew this brother-in-law a lot, so she knew him well.

Lu Zhifang and Lu Zhilu had opposite names, and their personalities were completely different.

Except for the word "chasing power" engraved in the bones and blood of the Lu family, in other aspects, they are not the same at all.

The eldest brother is affectionate, reserved and focused.

This younger brother has an outgoing yet cold personality, and his feelings are mostly warm, like a gust of wind that blows away.

Xiao Jinyan knocked on the rice spoon and shouted to Lu Zhilu: "uncle, fish!"

Xia Xun glared at the child, "What did mommy tell you before? Don't knock the bowl when eating. Sit tight!"

Lu Zhilu doted on his nephew, "You will naturally understand the rules when you grow up. Xiao Jinyan is only three years old. Sister-in-law, please don't be too strict."

"He's not strict or naughty. He only behaves when he sees you coming."

Lu Zhilu disagreed and was extremely gentle to Xiao Jinyan, "You want to eat fish, right? Uncle will pick on you."

He picked up a large piece of fish meat with serving chopsticks and picked up the fish bones patiently and carefully.

Xiao Jinyan looked at the fish longingly and complained to Lu Zhilu in a low voice: "Mommy won't find fault with Jin Yan, so she won't let Jin Yan eat the fish."

Xia Xun: "...I'm afraid that the fishbone won't be picked out cleanly and it will get stuck in it."

Lu Zhilu was amused, and while making fish bones, he joked: "Jin Yan is a member of the Lu family after all, and it is difficult to maintain normalcy."

Xia Xun saw that he got along so well with the child. Every time he came to see Jin Yan, he always took Jin Yan in a safe manner. In the past, he would change Jin Yan's diaper.

She said amusedly: "I don't see that you hate children at all. You are so good to Jin Yan, why don't you have one just for fun? The old man just keeps urging you, so there is no need for you to go against him and deliberately be a dick. You got divorced because you never had children and the old man was angry? "

Lu Zhilu's eyes darkened slightly, "The divorce is what I want. This time it has nothing to do with grandpa."

Xia Xun asked tentatively: "You don't like her? If you don't like her, can you still stay together for three years? Or are you tired of it again? If you are tired of her again, my sister-in-law will have to show her identity as an elder and talk to you more. , you are not young anymore, and you are always tired, then it is not the fault of other girls, you have to find your own reasons. If you are tired of being married for three years, you should not get married. Who will you marry in your current state? We can’t even go together.”

He frowned slightly: "Sister-in-law, I finally came to see Jin Yan. Why are you lecturing me like grandpa again?"

"I don't dare to scold you. If your elder brother were here, he would dare to scold you, and he might even dare to beat you."

Thinking of his elder brother, Lu Zhilu's eyes flashed with sadness: "I would rather let my elder brother train me and beat me."

A trace of loneliness flashed through Xia Xun's eyes, "Are you and the old man still fighting over your elder brother's death?"

"Sister-in-law, you haven't returned to the imperial capital, and you haven't let the old man know about Jin Yan's existence. You must also hate him in your heart."

Xia Xun raised his lips and smiled, his eyes slightly moist, "I don't hate the old man, but I really... can't reconcile with him. Zhilu, you are different from me, don't be angry with him because of your elder brother. , use your own marriage as a bargaining chip to resist him. No matter what the old man is, maybe his method is wrong. In his position, he has always been used to power, but in the end, he is still for your own good. He can't stand you because of your elder brother's death. It is human nature to be unable to recover after a setback.”

Lu Zhilu took a big gulp of red wine down his throat, slid his Adam's apple a few times, and swallowed all the red wine.

He looked down at Xiao Jinyan and leaned back in the chair, his voice hoarse and tired: "When I face the old man, I always think of my elder brother and Xiao Jinyan. He is old and has underlying diseases. , In fact, I don’t want to anger him, but I always mean what I say.”

"You and your eldest brother are not the same. You are quite similar in terms of Keke not caring about you. You obviously care about the old man, but you have to quarrel every time. It seems that only by quarreling with him can your grandfather-grandson relationship continue. He is older. , it is impossible to change yourself, Zhilu, you don’t need to be tough with him, hurt others and hurt yourself, why bother? "

Xia Xun didn't drink much of the bottle of dry red. Lu Zhilu drank most of it.

He didn't mention the divorce much, but he was obviously in a bad mood.

After putting Xiao Jinyan to sleep, Xia Xun handed him a cigarette case with only half of the cigarettes left in it.

This is a mint flavored women's cigarette.

After Lu Zhifang passed away, Xia Xun also smoked heavily.

Lu Zhilu lit a fire and smoked one, but he was not used to smoking women's cigarettes, so he stopped smoking after half the smoke. He kept it between his fingers and let it burn quietly.

Probably because he was distracted, the cigarette burned a lot of ash, fell down, and burned his fingers. He frowned and put the cigarette out in the ashtray.

Xia Xun guessed: "You mentioned divorce, you wanted divorce, and now you are unhappy? I remember that you didn't mention your lovelorn relationship when you broke up before, and you completely forgot about the girl the next day. Why this time? It’s like losing your soul?”

"This time is different. In the past, I was tired of being beaten. This time, I was brave enough to kill me directly."

Lu Zhilu's face was expressionless, but his voice was as cold as ice.

Xia Xun thought he was telling a cold joke, and was stunned for a few seconds. Then he suddenly couldn't help but laugh: "How capable, is there anyone who dares to cheat on you?"
