Teddy's Counterattack Guide [Rebirth]

At the same time, Xinyuan Road Windsor Plaza.

Lu Yan drove the car into the toll parking lot, found a corner and parked it, then took out the cap and mask from the storage compartment, put it on, opened the door and got out of the car with an umbrella.

This is one of the very famous business districts in the east of City B. It has gathered a large number of shopping centers and specialty nightclubs. It is crowded with tourists on weekends, and it is very lively.There are many embassies in China in a quiet place further away, and the clubhouse where Luo Shaoze booked a birthday party last time is also here.

Lu Yan seldom went out after returning to China, and even if he had the opportunity to come out, he would not be interested in such places. The reason why he came this time was because the restaurant Lu Yunhuan chose was in the embassy area, and the meeting place agreed by the two was also nearby. Yan drove the car in advance, so that he could save a lot of time when going back at night.

Before Lu Yunhuan arrived, Lu Yan walked into a high-end gift shop on the side of the road, and arranged a bouquet of flowers for the elder brother with a sprained cervical spine according to the specifications of Lu Chengrui's funeral last time.

When he was about to swipe his card to pay, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated, Lu Yan handed the credit card to the clerk, motioned her to continue, then took out the mobile phone, connected it to his ear, and called out very politely: "Second brother. "

"I'm here, on the side of the road opposite the Saudi embassy." After talking about the location, Lu Yunhuan noticed that the microphone was very quiet. Looking at the time, he guessed that Lu Yan was not on the road, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

Lu Yan glanced sideways towards the porch of the gift shop, and through the window covered with thick water vapor, he vaguely saw an SUV with double flashing lights parked on the side of the road. After a few seconds of silence, he said: "I am also here Opposite the Saudi embassy, ​​buy some things, I haven’t seen my eldest brother for so many years, so I can’t go there empty-handed.”

After he finished speaking, the SUV on the side of the road moved.

Lu Yan looked away, turned around and took the credit card handed back by the clerk, and signed on the machine-printed bill.

After a while, the copper bell hanging on the door frame of the gift shop rang, and Lu Yunhuan inserted the dripping black umbrella into the umbrella bucket, strolled over, and stopped behind Lu Yan.

"Buying flowers?" He looked up at the clerk behind the counter who was wrapping the bouquet with layers of craft paper, and his voice was faintly tinged with a meaningful smile.

"Yes." Lu Yan returned the signed bill, turned to face Lu Yunhuan, and said casually, "Brother doesn't need anything, that is, he has limited mobility and can't go out during the time of injury. He sees it as me, the third younger brother, who loves him dearly."

He had a mask on his face, and the brim of his peaked cap was pulled down very low. Only a pair of eyes under the shadows were exposed on his whole face, and he seemed to be smiling, but the smiling eyes looked particularly cunning.

Lu Yunhuan wore a pair of sunglasses, looked down at Lu Yan's eyes through the dark gray lenses, and smiled lightly after a while: "It seems that Yanyan still remembers Boyuan's pollen allergy?"

"Is there such a thing?" Lu Yanming asked knowingly, "What the second brother said just now, you can remind me after you go down the mountain. After all, I haven't seen you in 16 years, and I can't remember many things clearly."

Lu Yunhuan hooked the corner of his mouth without any surprise, but didn't answer.Lu Yan just assumed that he acquiesced, and waited for the clerk to deliver the packaged bouquet with peace of mind. He took the flowers, and Lu Yunhuan consciously took the umbrellas of the two, stood outside the door and waited for Lu Yan to come out, and then boarded the car together .

From here to return to the Lu Family Villa, it takes more than half of the urban area of ​​City B, and then it takes more than half an hour to reach the Xishan Villa Area. Considering the bad road conditions in rainy days, this time may be longer.

Lu Yan silently estimated the time it would take to go back and forth. He always felt that it would be very late when he arrived here, and the two of them still had to eat. When will they be able to return to the apartment?

Do you want to tell Gu Jinglin in advance?In order not to be jealous again, I have to coax him in a strange way...

Lu Yan was tangled in his heart, and was just about to take out his phone.Lu Yunhuan next to him suddenly reached out and took an envelope from the co-pilot's storage compartment and handed it to Lu Yan.

"It was just done two days ago." Lu Yunhuan explained while starting the car, "You know the situation at home, and I'm basically handling your affairs now."

Lu Yan opened the envelope and found his ID card and a bank card inside.

Lu Yunhuan said: "After I restored your identity, I checked it out and found out that you still have an account in China. The bank information was created for you by your father. Li Shujun probably doesn't even know it. There is a certain amount in the account. It’s not a small deposit, I haven’t touched it, you can collect it yourself.”

Lu Yan gave a soft "hmm" and didn't say much. Regarding the money from Lu Chengrui, his attitude has not changed from the beginning to the end - he doesn't ask for it, but he doesn't refuse it.

In his opinion, these are Lu Chengrui's compensation methods for his role as a father. Those who have made mistakes will always do something to make up for it, and of course it is to fill up the anxiety deep in their hearts.

Lu Yan is a person who understands current affairs, and he will not be willful enough to overthrow the kindness of that blood father. After all, Li Shujun cut off his living expenses a long time ago, and the reason why Lu Yan never told Lu Chengrui about this is because Out of the self-consciousness of an illegitimate child who is not seen by the royal family.

It's a pity that he silently made up for it for 16 years, but that woman gave him a terrible gift on the first day he returned to China.Lu Yan originally planned to be a passer-by with the people in that house for the rest of his life, but now he had to fight to the death.

"correct--"

Lu Yunhuan spoke suddenly, and Lu Yan came back to his senses in an instant, and looked at him sideways in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Lu Yunhuan said: "You remember to take the time to apply for the visa. I don't know about your studies and bank savings in the United States. These can only be handled by you."

"Oh, it's okay, it's already very troublesome to the second brother." Lu Yan smiled so much that his eyes rolled up, and he was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Speaking of which, Li Shujun will probably be very upset if she knows that I was taken back by you. ?”

Lu Yunhuan laughed immediately when he heard the words, and said indifferently: "That's for sure, but it's okay, she is not happy that we can leave early, do you want to be stayed for dinner?"

Lu Yan was taken aback, always feeling that he was being used by Lu Yunhuan, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.

According to the way Li Shujun treated Lu Yunhuan when he was a child, it was obvious that he did not know that he was not his own. Even if Lu Yunhuan was later told of his real identity by someone, he was still loved and raised by Li Shujun as his own son.Even if Li Shujun participated in the inheritance later, no matter how obvious Li Shujun favored Lu Boyuan, it was impossible for the other two children to really suffer.

In this way, Lu Yunhuan's attitude towards Li Shujun was too delicate.

Could there be something else he didn't know about?

The suspicion in Lu Yan's heart was serious, and he didn't know whether to ask directly.He could sense that this incident would most likely involve the person behind Lu Yunhuan. The related issue was actually mentioned when they met at the charity party that night, but he evaded it.

Are you unwilling to say?Or is it not convenient to tell him for the time being?

The current situation is indeed that the two have not yet reached the point of mutual trust, just like if Lu Yunhuan asked Lu Yan who helped him, Lu Yan would definitely not be able to tell the truth.But at the same time, the problem is also here. It is impossible to have trust if you are not honest. However, the other party is Lu Yunhuan. Lu Yan has concerns, and it is impossible to force people on the table like Sun Wanjun.

It's really troublesome...

Along the way, the two people with their own thoughts stopped chatting and fell silent in a tacit understanding.

When the car arrived at the foot of the West Mountain, it was close to six o'clock in the evening. It was raining and cloudy, and the suburbs were as dark as night.

Lu Yan stared quietly at the security guard box at the main entrance of the villa area for a while, and then looked at the bouquet in his arms. After a while, he involuntarily reached out and touched the petals with water drops on them, and then smiled lightly: "It's okay to think about it." It's a coincidence that every time I go back to Lu's house, I don't have good weather."

For a moment, the dark interior of the car seemed to be muted by someone, and the only sound was the crackling noise of rain water hitting the windshield.

Lu Yunhuan focused on looking at the road ahead, but the bottom of his eyes dimmed slightly because of Lu Yan's unreasonable emotion. He turned the steering wheel, drove the car steadily to the Panshan apartment, and drove towards the Lu family mansion on the mountainside in the dark gray rainstorm go.

"Who said that?" After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yunhuan opened his mouth and recalled, "The day your father brought you home for the first time, the weather was obviously fine."

"Really?" Lu Yan turned over his palm absently, and lowered his eyes to check if the gloves were dirty, "I don't even remember."

"I remember." Lu Yunhuan said without hesitation, "At that time, I was happy for having a younger brother for a long time, but it's a pity that you stayed in the Lu family for too short a time, and I didn't leave a good impression on you as an older brother. Looking back now, I feel very sorry.”

Hearing what he said, Lu Yan couldn't help laughing: "Second brother was so crying at that time, I didn't expect that he would change so much when he became an adult. To be honest, I was very surprised."

What Lu Yan said meant something, and Lu Yunhuan could hear it, so he said: "When Yan Yan was young, he didn't like to cry, how did he do that?"

"I--" Lu Yan's voice stopped abruptly when the words came to his lips, and his smile froze instantly.

——He cried a lot in the children's welfare home, and gradually realized that tears not only could not solve the problem, but would make the perpetrator even crazier, so he closed himself up and became a child who could endure pain and bullying but would not respond .

So... Lu Yunhuan is...?

Lu Yan was a little confused, feeling that this assumption was not true at all.

——He grew up under the care of his parents, how could he have the opportunity to experience the despair of crying until he can do nothing?

A few minutes later, Lu Yunhuan parked the car in the private parking lot behind the Lu residence, then handed an umbrella to Lu Yan, propped up another umbrella, and opened the door first to get out of the car.

Lu Yan followed, the two of them were silent all the way.Because of the heavy rain, they didn't deliberately go around the front yard, but walked directly to the back door of the Lu residence.Lu Yunhuan rang the doorbell, and after a while, the backyard door was opened from the inside.

The person who came was a maid in a work uniform, who looked about 30 years old. Seeing Lu Yunhuan, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, and said respectfully: "The second young master is back. The mountain road is not easy to walk in this rainy day. Madam is worried. It's not safe for you to drive, and you even asked Brother Du to pick you up."

Lu Yunhuan smiled and said nothing, obviously not taking this kind of compliment.

The maid touched her nose, and the smile on her face became a little awkward. She was about to draw people in, and she changed the topic to ease the atmosphere.At this moment, she turned her head and glanced, and her eyes barely fell on the stranger who came to the door with her second young master.

The other party was wearing a mask, so he couldn't see his face, but it stands to reason that the person who came with Lu Yunhuan must be a very good acquaintance, but that guy is holding a bouquet of white flowers in his hand to pay homage to the dead!

There have been too many incidents in the Lu family recently, and young master Lu was injured in a car accident, so he was forcibly ordered to come back to recuperate.These servants who work under the nose of their master every day have seen a lot of faces, so they naturally know how much trouble this thing will cause if it is brought in.

The maid was a little hesitant. After a while, she looked at Lu Yunhuan tentatively, and asked cautiously, "Second Young Master, is this your friend?"

Lu Yunhuan was not obliged to stand at the door to introduce Lu Yan to a servant, his face immediately became serious, but before he could speak, Lu Yan raised his hand to block him.

"Let me introduce myself," Lu Yan took off his mask, smiled politely at the maid, and said politely, "My name is Lu Yan, and I'm not Yunhuan's friend, but his half-brother."

The maid froze.

Lu Yan thought for a while, and then said: "Speaking of which, you seem to have to call me Third Young Master?"

maid:"……"

Lu Yunhuan smiled.

"Without prior notice, I just came back with my second brother to see brother Boyuan," Lu Yan said with a gentle voice, and smiled innocently, "Can you come in?"

The maid gestured for a swallowing movement, and the sweat came off, thinking that Lu Sanshao came back to see the young master with a bouquet of flowers in honor of the dead, what's the situation?But Lu Yunhuan didn't question it at all, which meant that this person was not joking. As a servant working for the Lu family, he dared not let the third young master in no matter what.

"Yes..." She had no other choice, so she obediently stood aside, made way for the two young masters, and then reported truthfully, "The eldest young master is resting in the bedroom and may be asleep. It is not convenient to see people for the time being. Madam is drinking in the living room Tea, I'm waiting for you—" She looked at Lu Yunhuan, then at Lu Yan, and said, "I've been waiting for you for a while."

"Siqi didn't come back?" Lu Yunhuan asked.

The maid closed the door and locked it, quickly followed the two people who had gone far away, and replied: "Miss Si has an appointment with a friend tonight, and she won't be coming back today. Madam is getting angry about it. When you see her later, you can't speak well." have to--"

"Mom is angry?" Lu Yan said suddenly, and turned to cast a sideways glance at her, "Just in time, I'm here to calm her down."

Lu Yunhuan said: "There are too many second brothers, so don't talk too much, you have a sense of proportion, don't go too far."

maid:"???"

Lu Yan said with a smile: "When you enter the house, close the door. You don't need to act for outsiders. If you don't pass the fire, it's not up to me to decide. It depends on your mother's acceptance?"

"It's quite easy to say," Lu Yunhuan teased, "I don't know who you learned to be a good boy from?"

"I didn't learn it." Lu Yan corrected, "It's because someone likes it, so I am willing to sell it. If there are more, I will become proficient."

Lu Yunhuan looked at him fixedly, and felt that Lu Yan had indeed been abroad for too long, and his expression in some aspects was very straightforward. For example, he didn't even know who the other party was now, but he made insinuations every time. Can be shown by this little guy.

While talking, the three of them walked to the main entrance of the villa.

The maid was about to go forward to open the door, but suddenly heard Lu Yunhuan say: "Wait a minute."

"Second Young Master, what's the matter?" She hurried back and waited for orders.

"Yanyan has just returned to China, I'm afraid I have a lot to say to my mother, I don't want to be disturbed." Lu Yunhuan said, "This is none of your business, go down first, we can go in by ourselves."

The maid breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I'm going to help prepare dinner, please, young masters." After finishing speaking, she walked quickly through the promenade outside the villa and disappeared around the corner.

When she walked away, the smile in Lu Yan's eyes gradually receded completely, leaving only a slight curve on his lips.He stepped forward, reached out and knocked on the door of Lu's house lightly, then hugged the bouquet in his arms in an orderly manner, and waited patiently.

After a while, footsteps came from the other side of the door, followed by a "click" of the door lock, and someone opened it from the inside.

The moment their eyes met, the face of Du Hui who came to open the door changed immediately.

Lu Yan maintained that appropriate but hypocritical smile, and said softly: "Long time no see, Mr. Du—" He stepped forward to hold the doorknob, suddenly exerting force, but his voice was as gentle and polite as ever, " Get out of the way, okay?"

Du Hui didn't react at all, he just froze in place.

At the same time, perhaps because she hadn't waited for someone to come in, Li Shujun who was sitting on the sofa put down her teacup, looked up, looked towards the foyer, raised her volume slightly, and asked with concern, "Is it Yunhuan who is back?"

In the large living room on the first floor, the woman's elegant voice echoed slowly, mixed with the sound of rain, but no one responded for a long time.

But after a while, the sound of footsteps approaching from far away, Lu Yan walked through the corner of the hall, and saw Li Shujun's exquisite face distorted from beautiful to deformed...

"I'm the one who came back." Lu Yan said.

He came over, bowed and placed the bouquet of snow-white flowers at Li Shujun's feet, as if completing a pious but ironic sacrificial ceremony.

Li Shujun's face was ashen, and her eyes were fixed on Lu Yan: "What are you doing back?"

"Mom asked the wrong question." Lu Yan stood up straight again and looked at her calmly. "Is there a reason for me to go back to my own home?"
