The reception room on the third floor was converted into a medium-sized tea room.

Lu Jinnan drank a few glasses of the winery's newly opened wine in the evening. He was washing the tea set with hot water and wanted to make a cup of tea to relieve his hangover.

Lu Xiao went over and said, "I'll do it, grandpa."

He took the teapot from Lu Jinnan, poured the excess water into the tea wash, and put the tea leaves in.

Lu Jinnan let go and watched him work.

The Lu family are all restless, except for the old man. Everyone drinks tea and appreciates paintings. When Lu Xiao was young, Lu Jinnan still lived abroad, and would occasionally hold him in his study to drink tea.

, playing chess. Lu Xiao brewed a pot of Dahongpao based on his memory, poured a cup and put it in front of him.

Lu Jinnan seemed to be thinking about the past, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "The last time you made tea for me was when I was in second grade. Time flies so fast."

He became emotional, stretched out his hand with his palm down, and said, "Come to Grandpa."

Lu Xiao was originally sitting across from him, but after hearing this, she went to sit next to him.

Lu Jinnan touched his head, his palms were warm and soft, the kind of hands that only a person who has always been pampered would have.

When Lu Xiao came up to him just now, he was surrounded by Lu Yuelin and a group of cousins. Lu Jinnan did not act too enthusiastic. In fact, Lu Xiao could understand his purpose. As the head of the family and a highly respected senior citizen, this

‌For many years, he kept carrying water, trying not to let his sons think that he favored one thing over another.

It was not until late at night and everyone dispersed that he was able to show his tender moment in front of his beloved grandson.

Lu Jinnan then asked with concern: "Did you have a good time tonight?"

Lu Xiao nodded, "Very good, my friends also had a great time."

"Among the few friends I have, there is a kid who seems to be quite stable and worthy of close friendship," Lu Jinnan said.

Lu Xiao was stunned: "Which one?"

Lu Jinnan said: "A child who has been with ‌ all the time."

Lu Xiao realized that he was talking about Ye Cheng, and felt very happy inside.

He cleared his throat and said, "Grandpa's vision has always been very accurate."

Lu Jinnan took a sip from his teacup and sighed: "If our Lu family had a descendant like this, I wouldn't have to worry about it every day."

Lu Xiao remained silent, thinking that he would not be a member of our Lu family in the future.

Lu Jinnan said: "How are your grades now? Are you sure you can get into a domestic university? My mother said I don't want to go abroad."

"I will go to college, grandpa." Lu Xiao looked at him and said.

Lu Jinnan patted his shoulder, looking a little relieved.

"I don't know. I'm annoyed by these little brats." He shook his head and said, "Do you know why auntie came today?"

Lu Xiao asked in confusion: "Why?"

Lu Yuelin's wife is the daughter of a real estate tycoon. She has a fierce and overbearing personality. Whenever there is a family gathering, there will always be quarrels, so it's good to be there.

Lu Jinnan said sadly: "It's not because my uncle is having a romantic affair outside and actually got a one-year-old girl out, my aunt is so angry that she wants to divorce him. And my third uncle does things without thinking, ‌

If I believed what outsiders said, I owed more than 200 million yuan last year."

Lu Xiao understood now, no wonder the third uncle didn't even dare to come to visit Lu Jinnan.

It seems that there is indeed someone in their family who can save their worries.

Lu Jinnan said: "Unlike them, people of our generation must study more and never fall into the hands of women and enemies. These two bitches will never learn how to survive."

.”

Lu Xiao did not agree, but comforted him: "Grandpa, it is human nature to make mistakes. The uncle and the third uncle are both old and young, and they will correct it."

Lu Jinnan couldn't help but look at him one more time, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

If he had said this in front of the boss or the third child today, the two of them would have been too busy to take credit, and they would have trampled the second child's family. But Lu Xiao's character seemed to be born with the shadow of Lu Jinnan, and he was very

He knows how to behave in such a big family. Although he usually behaves unruly and unruly, he always makes people unable to catch him.

A long time ago, Lu Jinnan felt that Lu Xiao was very similar to him when he was young, but his words and deeds were too impetuous and needed to be settled and polished. However, this time when he returned to China, the feeling Lu Xiao gave him was very different from before, as if he had changed unknowingly.

You have to take responsibility.

Lu Jinnan retracted his thoughts and returned to the topic: "Having said that, the least troublesome person right now is definitely ‌'s father. I know that ‌ and ‌'s father have always had a bad relationship, but as ‌‌ grows,

You should also understand that many things cannot be measured by emotions."

His words made Lu Xiao feel wary.

Sure enough, he knew that Lu Jinnan would not come to him for no reason.

Lu Jinnan continued: "For example, regarding my parents, my mother has already told me everything. Yao Shan did something wrong indeed, and I also promised that I would punish him severely and let him get what he deserves.

He was punished. But my mother still felt that she could not forgive him, so she planned to divorce him."

He paused and said: "My father has several overseas companies, of which my mother's holdings are only 4% larger than his. Do you understand what this means?"

Lu Xiao's pupils shrank. He always thought that Meng Li was not involved in anything in the company.

Lu Jinnan said calmly: "This is what I called you here to talk about. Xiaoxiao, how do you view this matter?"

Lu Xiao's mind gradually became clearer, and he roughly understood Lu Jinnan's purpose.

He talked a lot in circles, but in fact he was reluctant to divorce Meng Li and Lu Yaoshan, which was of the same nature as the divorce of his uncle and aunt. It was no longer a matter of personal marriage, but involved both parties.

various interests.

Not to mention that this divorce will divide Lu Yaoshan's property. If Meng Li wants to take revenge on him, although it won't cause much trouble, it will be enough to worry him for a while.

Lu Xiao knew what kind of answer Lu Jinnan wanted, and he also knew that as long as he got this answer, he could go to Meng Li to negotiate. No wonder Meng Li looked so ugly just now, and even asked him when he came here.

She said such words. After all, she still felt that she owed Lu Xiao too much. In order to prevent him from being involved in the embarrassment, she was even willing to trade her own happiness for it.

Lu Xiao frowned and looked at the half cup of tea thoughtfully.

Lu Jinnan did not rush him, but just looked at him quietly.

The clock on the wall ticked, and the tea room fell into silence.

Finally, Lu Xiao slowly loosened her clenched fists and said in a deep voice: "I support their divorce."

When he finished speaking, he clearly saw the flash of coldness in Lu Jinnan's eyes.

Lu Xiao did not avoid his gaze, looked directly into his eyes and said, "But, I also know that my surname is Lu."

Lu Jinnan's eyes flickered, and he narrowed his eyes to examine him.

Lu Xiao said calmly: "Grandpa, you haven't lived with my parents for too long. Maybe you don't know my mother very well. She lived a very depressed life in the past few years. Now she has no choice but to find someone.

Apart from relief, I have nothing else to seek, let alone any impact on the Lu family. As long as the news about the divorce is not made public, the stock price will not fluctuate much, and it will naturally be difficult for shareholders to have anything to say.

objection."

"Does this mean that you are willing to follow your mother?" Lu Jinnan's expression softened a little and he snorted from his nose.

Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "I told you, I know what my last name is. If you can give me a chance, I will be like my father and never let you down."

The last sentence made Lu Jinnan look at him carefully for the first time. Lu Xiao allowed his oppressive eyes to stare at him without giving in or being timid at all.

The two stared at each other for a few minutes, and Lu Jinnan suddenly smiled.

It was a slight smile at first, then it became louder and louder, and even the shoulders were shaking.

"‌He is really from my Lu family," Lu Jinnan looked at him with a complicated face, "‌Do you know, more than ten years ago, ‌father‌ said exactly the same thing to me. Then, I said California

The company was handed over to him."

Most of Lu's overseas properties are in California. How much Lu Yaoshan was not favored in the past, he will be envied ten years later.

The face of the young man in front of him was full of determination to move forward, just like Lu Yaoshan at that time.

He took a step forward and stepped into the vortex that he should have entered only after many years. But even though he knew the consequences, he didn't show any signs of flinching.

For the first time, Lu Jinnan thought that maybe he had underestimated the child's mother's feelings and his intelligence, which was far superior to that of his peers. Underneath his impetuous appearance, there was a calm and calm heart.

Lu Jinnan rubbed his brows and said, "Okay, let's go back and rest first. I will consider this matter."

Lu Xiao didn't test too much, so she said good night to him, opened the door and went out.

The wall lamp on the corridor was dimly lit with dim light. He took two steps and looked at Meng Li standing at the corner.

Meng Li gave him any time, hugged him, and let out a small cry.

Lu Xiao realized that she must have noticed their conversation outside the door.

He glanced at the camera above, but still didn't push Meng Li away, silently letting her vent her feelings.

This reminded him of many years ago, when Meng Li came to the cinema to pick him up. At that time, she hugged herself and cried like this, but now he is much taller than her, enough to hold her in his arms to prevent her from letting go.

‌I feel wronged.

A little boy who only knew how to fight and cause trouble became a big tree that he could rely on.

At the end of the dim corridor, Lu Xiao looked at Ye Cheng standing in the light and shadow.

Ten minutes later, the two were sitting side by side by the swimming pool.

It was late at night, and the laughter and laughter of a few hours ago had completely disappeared, leaving only sporadic meows of cats and the chirping of insects.

The night sky is like a black velvet blanket dotted with bright stars.

One, two, three...

It's as if you can reach out and pick it up.

After Ye Cheng finished Lu Xiao's words, he was quiet for a while.

He vaguely felt that his rebirth was like touching the butterfly effect, and unknowingly changed the direction of many things. As a result, Lu Xiao was exposed to these things five or six years in advance, and had to endure what he had never expected.

It's a burden he should bear at his age.

He said aloud: "I think Grandpa ‌ is right. According to ‌'s idea of ​​taking over the company, it is indeed more suitable for ‌ to study abroad."

When he said this, he thought he should be very reasonable. Because with Lu Xiao's grades, studying for an undergraduate degree in China is not as good as studying management abroad, or studying 3+2. But when he really said it

‌Afterwards, I couldn't help but feel a wave of reluctance.

If you really want to go abroad, how many times can they meet each other in a year?

Just imagining being without him for a week made Ye Cheng feel like he was about to suffocate.

Lu Xiao suddenly became unhappy, twisted his arm, and said angrily: "You want to make me angry to death? Do you know how hard I have worked to study with you? I won't go abroad.

.”

After he finished speaking, he turned his head away and touched Ye Cheng with the back of his head like a child.

Ye Cheng unexpectedly breathed a sigh of relief, tugged on his sleeve and said, "Okay, I understand."

"I don't know," Lu Xiao turned back, with a hint of grievance in his dark eyes, "I don't know how much I like ‌."

He held Ye Cheng's hand with his backhand, lowered his head carefully and pressed a kiss on the back of the hand.

"Ah Cheng, I think I already fell in love with ‌ when I first saw her."

There was a gentle breeze blowing in the Baize Lake in 1999, and the little boy was so tanned that he couldn't tell the difference between human and animal. He was as black as a piece of charcoal.

"Why are you sitting here all the time?"

"Hey, I'm talking to you."

"Stop crying, little sister, you won't look beautiful if you cry. Here, let me eat this."

This summer is the beginning of all love.
