Lu Xixin originally had a job to do, but she turned it down in order to date a handsome young man.
It was rare to get up so early, and the servants downstairs were surprised to see her.
The maid who specializes in serving Lu Xixin is called Gao Jing, a very capable woman in her 30s.
When Gao Jing led her directly to the restaurant, Lu Chengcheng happened to be there.
Lu Chengji frowned, seeming to be thinking about something, but Lu Xixin's expression instantly softened, and her peach-blossom eyes smiled crookedly, like a pool of spring water.
"Xin Xin." He called her.
This big brother really makes people feel good about him, and Lu Xixin couldn't help but feel close to him.
He nodded and smiled: "Brother."
Hearing this big brother, the smile on Lu Chengji's face deepened.
Sitting down to have breakfast together, Lu Chengji said two things. The first thing was the share issue announced by his grandfather last night. He would meet with a lawyer later and sign a few documents.
Lu Xixin nodded, indicating that she knew.
Another thing is about Tian Zhi's dereliction of duty last night. Lu Chengji explained the whole story, including Cheng Zishan's design.
"They have been dismissed. Don't worry, Xin Xin, I won't let anyone bully you." Lu Chengji's voice was gentle and sweet, but there was a murderous aura in his tone.
Lu Xixin was holding a fried dough stick in her hand.
Such a homely breakfast is rarely seen on the Lu family's dining table. It was Gao Jing who ordered the kitchen after Lu Xixin came back.
Gao Jing was arranged by Lu Chengji for Lu Xixin. The search for Lu Xixin, including her room in the Lu family, and Gao Jing, who was dedicated to serving her, were all arranged by Lu Chengji in advance.
It was only because of urgent matters abroad that Lu Chengji had to go abroad, otherwise he should have personally brought Lu Xixin back.
When he comes back this time, he will solve everything.
Lu Xixin is his sister.
No one can bully his sister, Lu Chengji.
After a long while, Lu Xixin said: "Isn't she Lu Yaqing's assistant?"
The implication is that if you deal with her assistant like this, wouldn’t Lu Yaqing have any objections?
Lu Chengji did not make a direct promise, but only said one thing: "In the second half of the year, Chengyuan will go to the UK to be an exchange student for a year."
Lu Xixin raised her eyes and looked at Lu Chengji in shock.
Lu Chengji smiled gently back at her and said in an understated tone: "He is an adult, not a child anymore. Since he dares to attack his sister, he should bear the consequences."
"Xin Xin, you are my sister, and this is your home. If you encounter anything unhappy, just say it directly, don't worry, I am here and I will support you."
"Remember, no one can make you suffer."
Lu Xixin lowered her head, and a tear fell on the hot porridge bowl.
It turns out this is what it feels like to have an older brother.
It turns out that she is not so useless after returning to the Lu family. There is a grandfather and an older brother here. They truly accept her and love her.
All the servants in the restaurant went out, and Lu Chengji told Lu Xixin what happened when she was lost when she was five years old.
"After you were lost, the entire Lu family was in chaos. My mother almost went crazy and became insane. When she saw a little girl about your age, she rushed up to call her. Chengyuan, who was less than one year old at the time, was still there.
I was almost suffocated to death by my mother once when I was eating milk."
"Grandpa tried all his methods, but he couldn't find you."
"A few months later, my mother's condition became worse and worse. She no longer recognized people. There was no other way, so my father took Yaqing back."
"Mom treats Yaqing as you and won't let go for even a second."
"After having Yaqing, my mother's condition gradually improved, and it was not until three years later that she slowly returned to normal."
"..."
Lu Chengji talked for a long time and said a lot.
Lu Xixin could feel the chaos of that year and her mother Lu's sadness.
After knowing everything, she suddenly didn't know how to face Mother Lu.
Since she missed 18 years, she can't imagine that everything can go back to the beginning.
"Xinxin." Lu Chengji suddenly spoke and looked at her seriously, "I'm not telling you this for my mother, but for you."
"Me?" Lu Xixin's eyes were filled with surprise.
"Yes." Lu Chengji suddenly smiled, his gentle eyes like the warm spring breeze,
"I'm not asking you to forgive your mother, nor am I asking you to tolerate her. I just want to tell you the whole story and hope that you can relieve your knot."
Lu Xixin fiddled with the chain in her hand. There was a small sign hanging in the middle of the chain with the word "Lu" engraved on it.
Because of this sign, she did not change her last name after her grandfather picked it up.
Because of this sign, it was later recovered by the Lu family.
Lu Chengji said that he hoped she would not have any knots in her heart, but in fact he was overly worried. Lu Xixin had no knots at all.
It has been so many years, and the 18 years she has lost are indeed real and cannot be changed at all. Since it is a foregone conclusion, what is the point of having a knot in her heart? It is just adding to her worries.
Lu Xixin never blamed Lu's father and mother, but was a little disappointed with them.
Lu Xixin's requirements are not high. She doesn't need them to love her. Just being a little fair and polite is enough.
After meeting the lawyer, Lu Xixin went to see Shen Nianxi.
