Lu Shiyun seemed a little surprised. He reached out and touched the prickly beard at the corner of his mouth. "So, your father is sometimes clear-headed?"
Xin Yu nodded. "Yes, that's why … I quarreled with the people in the hospital that day. Dad, it's not that I don't trust you, but I think it's not good for my father to be locked up in the hospital. I'm his only family in this world. I was thinking … could you let me get my father out? I can take care of him by myself. I … "
"Xin Yu."
Lu Shiyun interrupted her. Seeing that her emotions were fluctuating, he reached out with a kind face and patted her shoulder. "Relax. You said that you trust me, right? So you have to believe that the doctors I arranged for your father are all very knowledgeable in mental health. They won't do anything reckless. And the tranquilizers you're worried about are different from the tranquilizers we use in normal hospitals. I asked someone to get them from abroad. They won't have any side effects on your father. "
"… Really?"
"Of course. Why would I lie to you?"
Lu Shiyun sighed softly. He squeezed Xin Yu's shoulder and slowly stood up. "Xin Yu, it's not that I don't want you and your father to be together, but in his current situation … he can't leave the hospital. If something happens to him outside, I won't be able to protect him. If he's sent to Green Mountain, he won't be able to come out for the rest of his life."
"…"
Xin Yu's heart trembled. Sending him to Green Mountain was a real mental hospital. Just as Lu Shiyun said, once he entered, he would never be able to come out …
She didn't dare to think about it anymore. "… Dad, I'm being rude."
"It's okay. I know how you feel. I can understand."
Lu Shiyun paused and said, "Don't worry about this. After the treatment, you can go and see him, but try not to mention the past to him." He changed the topic very naturally. "Previously, when I went to England, I met your tutor. He even specially asked about you and told me some things about your time in England. Dad has been too busy during this period of time. When you came back, I didn't have time to ask about your situation over there. I also heard you say that you met the Fan Gang in England. Is that right? "
"…"
Xin Yu didn't expect him to suddenly mention Qin Fangang. As soon as she heard this sensitive name, her whole body suddenly tensed up. "… Yes, I met him.."
"At that time, I didn't ask you in detail. where did you meet him?"
"…"
Xin Yu's heart started pounding. Where did they meet? Where did they meet …
Her mind went blank for a moment. She was really too flustered. Her tightly pursed lips trembled a little, but she knew that she couldn't expose herself in front of Lu Shiyun. Otherwise, everything would be messed up. But … where did they meet?
She remembered that at that time, Lu Yihan had also asked her the same question. How did she answer at that time?
"… Dad, I actually don't remember where I met Qin … Big Brother. When he came back to the Lu residence that day, I remembered that I seemed to have met him. My memory is a little blurry. Now that you're asking me, I can't remember at the moment."
"Is that so?"
Lu Shiyun looked thoughtful again. His deep voice had some unclear meaning. "I saw that he took good care of you. Moreover, in the Lu family, he was considered to be closer to you. So I thought that when you were in England … your relationship would be pretty good. Looks like I was overthinking."
Xin Yu's palms were covered in cold sweat, but she still maintained the most basic calmness on her face. She smiled weakly, only to feel that the corners of her mouth were about to stiffen.
"It's okay. Don't be nervous. Dad was just asking casually."
Lu Shiyun looked at Xin Yu and said, "You know that in our family, the relationships are complicated. As for Dad, I don't expect anything else. I just hope that you and Yihan will be well. You don't have to worry about anything. What should be given to you will be yours. What should belong to Yihan will also belong to him. Lan Ruoran won't be an obstacle to you. As for Fan Gang, I can tell that he trusts you more now, so it's not bad for you to learn from him. But … "
When Lu Shiyun said this, he deliberately paused. Xin Yu's heart was in her throat. She pursed her lips. "… Dad, what are you trying to say?"
"Haha, it's nothing. As a father, I'm worried about my child. Xin Yu, you know that Dad has always doted on you as if you were my own daughter, so there are some things that Dad won't hide from you. I'll tell you directly. This Fan Gang is Yihan's brother after all. Although you also call him Big Brother, there's still a pure difference between the two of you, a man and a woman, do you know? You can't get too close. Otherwise, when the time comes, people will gossip. Of course, it's not that Dad doesn't trust you and Fan Gang. I just want to tell you that this child, Yihan, can be stubborn sometimes. Like last night, when your phone was in Fan Gang's room, this kind of … more or less went a little overboard. "
Xin Yu's heart felt as if there was a huge rock stuck in her throat. It was neither moving up nor down. She felt uncomfortable and ashamed, but she had to pretend that nothing was wrong. It was really painful.
She nodded and didn't dare to look into Lu Shiyun's eyes again. She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "… Dad, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future."
Lu Shiyun looked at her reserved and awkward expression and frowned slightly. After giving her a gentle slap, he hurriedly offered her a sweet date. "Xin Yu, do you feel wronged? Don't be sad. Dad doesn't mean that he doesn't trust you. Dad will never misunderstand this kind of thing, but there are many people in the Lu family. You know that your mother-in-law … I'm just worried for nothing. Don't think too much. Don't be sad, child. "
When he said this, Xin Yu naturally felt even worse.
But this feeling of shame lingered in her heart for a long time. As time passed, it became a "natural" feeling.
She even smiled at Lu Shiyun, even though she clearly knew that at a time like this, her smile must be uglier than her crying. "… Dad, I understand. Thank you."
Lu Shiyun understood Xin Yu's personality. At a time like this, he ran over to say these words to her. It didn't sound light or heavy. After he said these words, he even sounded a little comforting. Naturally, he knew what he was doing.
He knew Xin Yu's personality very well. She wasn't too soft and had no personality. On the contrary, she had a stubbornness that others couldn't control. This was also part of the reason why he admired her.
Right now, he couldn't be sure if she and Fan Gang really had an ambiguous relationship. But after what happened last night, he thought about it carefully. Even if they didn't have an ambiguous relationship right now, in the long run, something would definitely happen.
Young people were hot-blooded. He was also once young. This kind of taboo relationship would stimulate a man's possessiveness. Lu Shiyun had been in the business world for so many years. How could he not know about romance?
So last night, he already thought that since he couldn't completely control his son now, he would start with Xin Yu.
This child had always been very grateful to him. His words would definitely play a decisive role in her heart.
Lu Shiyun didn't "bet on the wrong treasure." The impact of what he just said on Xin Yu was indeed not small.
However, what he didn't expect was that her relationship with Qin Fangang had already developed to a deeper level than he expected. As for Xin Yu, she was nervous, afraid, and ashamed. She was spurred by morality countless times every day. When it came to him, although this feeling was strong, it wasn't like when he first experienced it — the feeling of panic and loss, as if the whole world was about to collapse.
Perhaps people were like this. Whether it was things, people, or feelings, after so many times, it was like they were numb.
When Qin Fangang returned to the Lu Clan, he happened to see Lu Shiyun coming down from the 28th floor.
The father and son met at the elevator door. Lu Shiyun asked his chauffeur to start the car first. "Why did you go out?"
"Yeah, I had something to deal with." Qin Fangang knew that he came to look for Xin Yu, but to avoid suspicion, he asked casually, "Why are you here today?"
Lu Shiyun's eyes flickered. "I came to take a look."
He didn't mention Xin Yu, so of course, Qin Fangang pretended not to know anything. He nodded and lifted his wrist to check the time. His deep voice sounded a little cold and distant. "I have a meeting in a bit. If there's nothing else, I'll go up first."
His son's attitude towards him was so distant that Lu Shiyun couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
However, he knew deep down that Qin Fangang wasn't close to him, so he couldn't blame him entirely. He sighed softly and said, "Fan Gang, I got someone to take a look at the project that Yihan took on previously. He stopped it midway, so the Lu Clan was at a disadvantage. But this child … I don't think he'll take the initiative to look for you. When he was looking for a partner, he didn't have enough foresight.
Qin Fangang reached out to tug at his collar and curled his lips emotionlessly. He didn't seem to want to give Lu Shiyun any face, so he said bluntly, "I do want to help him, but he has to be willing to let me."
"…"
Just then, the elevator opposite them came down. As soon as the double doors opened, two female voices were heard from inside.
"… Yeah, you have no idea. I was shocked just now. Since when did Young Master Han care so much about his wife? He actually told us to walk out of the elevator. He even hugged Leng Xinyu and told us not to be third wheels. I wonder if the two of them were making out in the elevator … "
"No way? Didn't Young Master Han and that Lan Ruoran … "
"Ah … Chairman Lu, Boss Qin …"
…
There were three women standing in the elevator. Two of them were the ones who were chased out of the elevator by Lu Yihan. The two of them were spittle flying as they talked about what happened in the elevator. Someone who didn't know what was going on clearly didn't believe them. Halfway through her sentence, she saw the two people standing in front of the elevator.
