Shen Kuo's hand fell on the back of Lu Yan's hand and patted it gently.

Lu Yan hugged him and shook her head desperately: "Don't go!"

"Xiaoyan, don't worry." He wouldn't give up on her just for a few words. That would be ridiculous.

"Let me talk to them, maybe there will be a change."

Lu Yan finally let go of Shen Kuo. After he followed Meng Zhining into the study, she immediately called Lu Zhen to complain.

On the phone, Lu Zhen heard his daughter's crying voice, and his scalp exploded.

"Don't cry, what's wrong? Tell dad, did Shen Kuo bully you?"

"No, no, my grandparents don't agree, they don't agree with Shen Kuo..."

Lu Zhen listened to Lu Yan's inconsistent description and reacted for a long time before he figured out what was going on. So a few minutes later, Lu Jian's phone number was also called off by Lu Zhen, and the father and son started arguing over the phone -

—

"You brat, you yelled at me! You're not big or small!"

"What about your daughter? You are still a half-grown child yourself!"

"I put my words here, Lu Yan's life-long events, what you say will not count."

…

Meng Zhining called Shen Kuo to the balcony and closed the sliding door.

"Don't mind, father and son are like this, they will quarrel if they don't agree with each other."

Shen Kuo shook his head and said calmly: "Lu Zhen has a very impulsive character."

Meng Zhining looked at him deeply: "He is careless, so he can easily be plotted."

Shen Kuo heard something behind Meng Zhining's words and admitted frankly: "I bullied him."

Meng Zhining's face turned cold. She knew Shen Kuo too well. If he wanted to deal with Lu Zhen, Lu Zhen would never be his opponent.

Meng Zhining was always a protector of shortcomings. If she had known about it earlier, she would definitely not let Shen Kuo go so easily, but now...he has become the person in Lu Yan's heart and helped find her little daughter back.

Gratitude and resentment, what is right and what is wrong, have long been unclear.

"It's okay for boys to suffer some hardships as they grow up." Meng Zhining folded his arms and stood side by side with Shen Kuo on the balcony, looking at the tall buildings in the distance: "But Xiaoyan is different. She is a girl. In our family, girls

Children are more valuable than boys."

"I understand, but I won't give up. I really like Lu Yan. I don't have any other factors involved. I just like her."

I just like her and give her my most passionate heart.

"I don't doubt your current feelings for Xiaoyan, but I can't take risks. This life is too long, and love is only a very small part."

The corners of Shen Kuo's eyes trembled. After a long moment, he said, "I insist."

"Shen Kuo, your career has just started. You don't want all your efforts to be ruined, right?"

Shen Kuo looked at Meng Zhining, and he saw a heavy threat in her eyes.

Whether it was Meng Zhining or Lu Jian, if they wanted to crush him to death now, it would be as easy as crushing an ant to death.

At this moment, Meng Zhining's phone also rang. A few seconds after she hung up the phone, it rang again. Meng Zhining answered the phone angrily and shouted: "Lu Zhen, if you don't stop, I'll have a hundred

A way to make you cry!"

Meng Zhining's "Hedong Lion's Roar" made Shen Kuo take two steps back unconsciously...

Lu Zhen’s mother is a bit fierce.

Meng Zhining hung up the phone, suppressed his anger, and turned back to Shen Kuo: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Shen Kuo nodded, but still said: "I stick to my choice."

"You are a smart boy. You don't need me to remind you how important career is to a man."

"I know, but I insist."

Meng Zhining frowned. She had dealt with Shen Kuo and she knew how stubborn this young man was.

"If you don't have a career, how can you persevere? What confidence do you have to persevere?"

Shen Kuo looked at her with dark eyes, making her feel a little guilty for no reason.

Didn't she know that she shouldn't bully others too much?

But she has no second choice. As an adult, she must seek a better life and future for her children, even if they hate her.

Later, when Shen Kuo left, Lu Jian asked Meng Zhining: "What did he say?"

Meng Zhining rubbed his eyebrows and shook his head.

No matter how she coerces and induces him, he only has two words: "Persevere."

And Meng Zhining also knew that it was too much to threaten Shen Kuo with his career. It was not easy for a child from a poor family to get to where he is today step by step. Ruining Shen Kuo's career would be equivalent to destroying half of this young man's life, and he

I would rather give up half my life than persist...

Lu Yan is the other half of his life. If he loses it, he will have nothing.

Meng Zhining closed her eyes helplessly: "We can't go too far."

"So you gave up?" Lu Jian looked at Meng Zhining in disbelief: "His father worked in our factory, and this disease has nothing to do with us..."

"I know."

Meng Zhining opened his eyes, looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "But this boy is not simple. Even if we break his knees now, as long as he is still alive, he will stand up sooner or later. It is terrible for such a man to be a son-in-law."

, being an enemy is more terrifying..."

"For Yanyan, I don't care." Lu Jian obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem: "Besides, we haven't seen any trouble in these years. It's ridiculous that you would be afraid of a kid whose career has just started to improve."

Meng Zhining shook his head: "Lu Jian, maybe you should get to know your son again, get to know their generation of young people again, and change your arrogant temper."

…

On the way to send Shen Kuo home, Lu Yan looked at him worriedly several times. The young man remained silent, which made her feel anxious.

Finally, Lu Yan asked him cautiously: "My grandma... how much money did she slap on your face to make you leave me?"

It was good that she didn't speak, but her opening made Shen Kuo laugh.

"you guess?"

"A blind guess of five million?"

Shen Kuo rubbed her head: "You underestimate your own value too much. You are the Lu family's treasure, and they are willing to give everything for you."

Lu Yan was a little worried: "So, are you excited?"

Shen Kuo smiled lightly: "So instead of giving me a penny, he threatened me that if I didn't let go, I would lose everything."

This is more powerful and effective than buying him with money.

Lu Yan's heart went cold, and her hands couldn't help but tighten their grip, tightening their grip on Shen Kuo's clothes.

"and you..."

"I don't want to lose everything."

Lu Yanran suddenly stopped and looked at him in disbelief. He smiled faintly and rubbed her head: "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Yan's eyes were red and she whispered: "If you don't want to lose everything, you can lose me, right?"

Shen Kuo held her hand tightly and placed it on her heart——

"Lu Yan, don't you understand now? You are everything to me. You are my hope and my light. Without you, even if I get the whole world, it means nothing to me."

Lu Yan felt warm in her heart. In fact, at this time, she should believe Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo took her hand and quickened his pace. Seeing that he was not walking towards home, Lu Yan asked, "Where are you going? Aren't you going home?"

"Take you to an interesting place."

Lu Yan wiped away her tears and followed Shen Kuo to the commercial street. She then went downstairs to the first floor below ground. There were also many store stalls on the first floor, but the things sold here were better than those in the stores in the commercial street.

Much cheaper.

Therefore, there are many people shopping on the first floor, and there are exquisite jewelry and cheap clothes.

Shen Kuo led Lu Yan through the crowded streets and came to the door of a small tattoo shop at the end.

Lu Yan saw a familiar figure busy in the tattoo shop at a glance. It was Zhong Kai!

He was wearing a mask and had just finished his work, tattooing the Dragon King of the East China Sea all over his back for Brother Shamate.

"Okay! Look, this courage is to control the wind and rain. I guarantee that your life will be smooth in the future."

Brother Shamate didn't care about good weather. He was very satisfied with this evil dragon. He turned around and saw Lu Yan, a little girl staring blankly at his back, and asked casually: "Are you afraid?"

Lu Yan nodded repeatedly and said cooperatively: "I'm afraid."

Brother Shamate put on a fancy shirt, took out his wallet, paid the bill, and left the tattoo shop with satisfaction.

"Xiao Yanyan, long time no see!" Zhong Kai washed his hands and walked out, looking at Lu Yan: "Oh my, my, I'm so lost, I didn't recognize it at first, Shen Kuo, what the hell are you lucky for?
