Mrs. Xu chided affectionately, "What's there that can't be said? You used to quarrel with your brother all the time, but neither of you ever held a grudge."
Xu Qingqing stamped her foot for emphasis. "This is different from quarreling with my brother."
She and Xu Yan loved and fought each other. They always felt guilty after a quarrel.
But Lu Chuanbai and Lu Fenglin were different. They truly wished the other didn't exist in this world.
Especially after Lu Fenglin had suffered such a blow. He would surely never have anything to do with Lu Chuanbai from then on.
Mrs. Xu continued, "Just talk things out face - to - face. They're blood brothers. I don't believe Lu Chuanbai has never thought about Lu Fenglin."
Suddenly called out, Lu Chuanbai choked on his drink and coughed violently. Even while coughing, he still refused to back down. "I've never thought about him."
Gao Bo, who hadn't left yet, mercilessly exposed Lu Chuanbai's true feelings. "Mr. Lu, have you forgotten that at the last shareholders' meeting, you stood up for Manager Lu and said that no one but you could touch him?"
Lu Chuanbai glared at Gao Bo with raised eyebrows, threatening him with his eyes to leave quickly.
This guy Gao Bo was becoming more and more talkative and insolent.
He was just protecting the Lu family's face, not because Lu Fenglin was his younger brother!
Hearing Gao Bo's words, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but laugh. Then she shifted the topic to Lu Chuanbai's wound.
Hearing everyone talking about Lu Chuanbai's wound, Xu Yiyi's face became even more gloomy. His little face was all wrinkled, clearly showing his unhappiness.
Xu Qingqing noticed Xu Yiyi's unhappiness. Thinking he was still blaming himself, she gently squatted in front of him and whispered, "Yiyi, this is not your fault. You should only blame those ruthless kidnappers. Don't blame yourself anymore."
As she said this, Xu Qingqing reached out and gently stroked Xu Yiyi's forehead, pinching his little cheek in the hope that he would cheer up.
But Xu Yiyi pouted, looking like he was about to cry. He jumped off the edge of the bed and threw himself into Xu Qingqing's arms, hugging her tightly with both hands.
"Mummy, I think I might have misunderstood Uncle Lu..."
Hearing Xu Yiyi's words, Xu Qingqing bit her lip. Although she didn't agree with his view, she still encouraged him to continue.
Xu Yiyi told them about the conversation he had heard between Lu Fenglin and Xiao Gu while hiding in the cement pipe that day. Finally, he sniffled and said, "Uncle Lu just asked that bad woman to teach Daddy a lesson. He emphasized many times that she wasn't allowed to hurt Mummy, me, or An'an. But that bad woman made her own decision..."
"I clearly heard all this, but I disliked Uncle Lu so much that day. Uncle Lu must be very sad..."
Xu Qingqing never expected the truth to be like this.
It turned out that Lu Fenglin never intended to harm the two children. He did all this just because of a misunderstanding and wanted to take revenge.
He was a pitiful man with his reasons.
Hearing Xu Yiyi's words, Xu An'an also jumped off the bed. Her little face was full of distress, and even the twin ponytails on both sides of her head lost their liveliness.
"I said Uncle Lu wasn't a bad guy. He wouldn't hurt us."
Xu Yiyi frowned and turned around, looking at Lu Chuanbai on the hospital bed. His eyebrows were full of worry and entanglement.
If he apologized to Uncle Lu, it would be like betraying Daddy.
But if he didn't apologize, he might never have the chance to say it again.
Lu Chuanbai naturally understood Xu Yiyi's entanglement. He was a good father and couldn't bear to see Xu Yiyi troubled by this.
Lu Chuanbai pretended to be relaxed and said, "Anyway, I've taken my revenge. There's no need to argue with him anymore."
"Yiyi, An'an, if you want to recognize Uncle Lu again, Daddy won't stop you."
"Really, Daddy!"
Xu Yiyi's eyes lit up immediately. But being a thoughtful boy, he also considered Lu Chuanbai's feelings. He solemnly promised Lu Chuanbai like a little adult, "Daddy, I'll make Uncle Lu apologize to you too."
"That's right!"
Xu An'an's twin ponytails bounced up again. She jumped up and down like a little rabbit and rushed to speak, "The teacher in kindergarten said that if you do something wrong, you should say sorry, and then everyone can make up."
"Daddy and Uncle Lu know so much. They must understand this truth."
"You little smarty." Lu Chuanbai helplessly ruffled Xu An'an's hair, messing up her bangs before he was satisfied.
Based on his understanding of Lu Fenglin, Lu Fenglin was extremely stubborn. How could he ever open his mouth to apologize?
He didn't believe it.
Even if he did apologize, it would still depend on whether Lu Chuanbai accepted it or not.
After Lu Fenglin left the hospital, he went straight to the bar. His mind was in a complete mess, with all kinds of things jumbled together, making him restless.
Only by drinking and letting the alcohol numb his brain could he catch a brief breath.
The DJ music in the bar was explosive, and the colorful lights were spinning, creating a gaudy and decadent atmosphere.
Young men and women were dancing wildly in the dance floor, releasing their youthful energy.
The waiters passing by had trays full of glasses. Alcohol was the biggest pass in the bar.
Lu Fenglin, dressed in a suit and tie, wearing a famous - brand watch, with his hair neatly groomed, was sitting alone, drinking his sorrows away. He quickly caught the attention of the gold - diggers in the bar.
This was already the fourth heavily - made - up woman who came to talk to him. The strong perfume on her almost choked Lu Fenglin.
"Handsome guy, you're drinking alone. Let me keep you company. It's so boring to drink alone."
Without waiting for Lu Fenglin's consent, the beauty sat down beside him. She even deliberately pushed her chest out and stared directly at Lu Fenglin's handsome face.
Lu Fenglin's face had an abnormal pallor, and his features were as sharp and well - defined as if carved by a knife.
In the dimness of the bar, he was like a vampire prince just waking up from his coffin, exuding a gloomy, decadent, and mysterious aura.
This aura attracted women like moths to a flame. Even though they knew it was dangerous, they still couldn't help but throw themselves at him.
Because Lu Fenglin drank too fast, the liquor trickled down his lips, sexily flowing past his chin and dripping onto his collar.
"Oh, your clothes are wet. Let me wipe it for you."
The heavily - made - up woman stared blankly. She reached out and grabbed a tissue from the bar counter, trying to wipe Lu Fenglin's face.
But Lu Fenglin mercilessly pushed her hand away and growled, "Get out! Don't touch me!"
The woman who was scolded didn't expect Lu Fenglin to be so cold - hearted. Her outstretched hand froze in mid - air. She didn't know whether to continue or withdraw it.
"Why are you so fierce? I just wanted to help you wipe it..."
The heavily - made - up woman leaned closer to Lu Fenglin, blinking her big eyes and showing off her charming figure, hoping to arouse Lu Fenglin's pity.
But Lu Fenglin was completely uninterested. He simply raised his hand and splashed the liquor in his glass on the woman's face.
