Chapter 280 is a troublesome person
Lu Mingdong didn't stand on ceremony; in fact, he asked very astutely, "How long have you been seeing Cheng Ruolan? How many bamboo handicrafts have you given her?"
Upon hearing this, even Lu Yuanbo, who was still cursing, fell silent, and several pairs of eyes stared intently at Lu Mingnan.
Lu Mingnan shrank his neck and swallowed hard.
Now Lu Yuanqing understood everything. His eyes sharpened, and he said coldly, "How much!"
It's okay to be stupid, but being fooled is something Lu Yuanqing won't allow.
Lu Mingnan didn't dare to speak, but instead stretched out one hand and clearly showed them three fingers.
"Three?" Lu Yuanbo shouted. "Do you know how much they're worth? You just gave them to her like that?"
"What did she give you? Just to agree to date you?"
Lu Yuanbo was completely baffled. How could Lu Mingnan be so easily fooled!
“No,” Lu Mingnan tried to explain, “At first she wanted to give money as a birthday gift for her younger brother, and it just so happened to be this zodiac animal!”
"After we started dating, I wanted to give her a gift. Uncle, you said that when you're pursuing someone, you should give them a tangible gift. Just saying nice things doesn't seem sincere."
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
Xie Qianyu: "..." So when Lu Yuanbo pursued her, it was all about actions, all because of what Lu Yuanqing said? That makes some sense!
Cheng Xia: "..." I knew my third uncle was no ordinary person, but now it seems that the one in Class Two is no ordinary person either.
Lu Yuanbo laughed angrily, "That's all you heard? Third Brother also said that if the other person doesn't like you and is only with you for benefits, then why would you be a fool and give them everything? Why don't you just give her your whole family!"
That's just sophistry!
Lu Mingnan glared at him angrily.
"How could that be? Ruolan wouldn't do that. When I gave it to her later, she said it was too precious and she didn't want to accept it."
"So, were we finally done with it?" Lu Mingdong asked calmly.
For some reason, Lu Mingnan seemed a little guilty every time Lu Mingdong asked him a question.
"Take it!"
"Heh!" Lu Mingdong sneered, expressing his attitude.
Lu Mingnan: "Brother Xiaodong, she's not what you think."
It's heartbreaking for Lu Mingnan to have the person he likes misunderstood by his beloved family.
Lu Yuanqing sighed and said, "Isn't it supposed to be three things? She also has a younger brother?"
"Third Uncle, how did you know!" Although Lu Mingnan didn't understand why Lu Yuanqing suddenly changed the subject, he was even more surprised that Lu Yuanqing knew such a thing.
The others also looked at Lu Yuanqing with curiosity.
Lu Yuanqing shrugged. He could say that although he didn't know anything about Cheng Ruolan, the fact that this educated youth who suddenly started dating Lu Mingnan reminded him of some gossip he had heard before.
"Cheng Ruolan has two younger brothers. Does she often talk about her brothers in front of you, saying things like she hopes they can have a good life?"
Lu Mingnan could no longer shut his mouth.
He still couldn't understand, but the others, unlike him, had already grasped the meaning behind Lu Yuanqing's words.
Lu Yuanbo immediately said, "No, this female educated youth won't do. Lu Mingnan, you assign her to me right now."
Although the others didn't say anything, they clearly expressed their support for Lu Yuanbo's decision.
"Why?!" Lu Mingnan was on the verge of tears.
He's just dating, why is it like he's broken a cardinal rule?
"Third Uncle, are you going to force me to break up with Ruolan like this too?" Lu Mingnan looked at Lu Yuanqing with a mix of sadness and expectation.
He didn't believe that Lu Yuanqing would be like Lu Yuanbo.
Lu Yuanqing always supports any decision made by anyone in the family, rather than decisively rejecting it.
Uncle San is so understanding; he wouldn't make him break up with Cheng Ruolan for no reason.
Lu Yuanqing remained silent.
A hint of anxiety flashed in Lu Mingnan's eyes. "Third Uncle, if it's just because I gave Cheng Zhiqing a zodiac bamboo weaving, it's nothing. I wove it in my spare time; it's just a token of my affection. Don't think that Cheng Zhiqing is with me for some benefit just because of this."
“She’s not that kind of person. She’s a good person, and she’s very good to me.”
"Third Uncle, please don't misunderstand her!"
Lu Mingnan looked at Lu Yuanqing pleadingly.
Lu Yuanqing didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment.
The guy who used to think about quitting school every day because he wasn't good at it, even when he was scolded, beaten, and made to study, never showed such a vulnerable expression.
Is this how emotions are expressed?
Lu Yuanqing remained silent, and neither did the others.
Because Lu Yuanqing is the recognized patriarch of the Lu family.
Lu Yuanbo knew that even if they tried to stop him, their opposition would be meaningless if Lu Yuanqing supported him.
Lu Mingnan also deeply understood that if the whole family opposed him and Cheng Ruolan...
They can only continue with Lu Yuanqing's support.
But Lu Yuanqing refused. Even though Lu Mingnan was heartbroken, he knew that he and Cheng Ruolan had no hope.
On one side is the person you like, and on the other side is an elder you can never refute.
Lu Mingnan was caught in the middle, and his thoughts at that moment were easy to imagine.
Lu Yuanqing sighed and said, "You know, someone like Cheng Zhiqing is greatly influenced by her family. In her heart, her family will always come first, and then you. Are you willing to accept that?"
"Brother!" Lu Yuanbo shouted in dissatisfaction.
It seems like Third Brother is about to agree.
He disagreed.
Cheng Ruolan is the kind of woman Third Brother always talks about, the one who's obsessed with her brother. If someone like that really gets together with Lu Mingnan, will Lu Mingnan have any good days ahead? Will he spend his whole life sacrificing for someone else?
How could Lu Yuanbo possibly want to see this situation?
Lu Yuanqing ignored Lu Yuanbo and just stared at Lu Mingnan, wanting an answer from him.
Lu Mingnan's eyes widened in confusion for a moment, then he replied in a somewhat naive tone, "But isn't it normal to value family the most? Me too! Family is very important to me, and I can't expect others not to value their own families!"
He truly didn't understand.
Between family and the person he loves, Lu Mingnan can say without hesitation that he would choose Lu Yuanqing.
Family is family; you can never give up on them.
He never even considered his family when making a choice.
Because there's no need to choose, family is the most important.
Lu Yuanqing didn't know whether he should be happy or give a bitter smile.
"Xiao Nan, sometimes things aren't just black and white, nor are they so absolute."
"What is that!" Lu Mingnan looked up at him.
Lu Yuanqing said, "To give an example, when it's not a serious choice involving life or death, but just money and feelings, if Cheng Zhiqing always chooses to protect her younger brother and puts you last when making a choice between these two things, would you be willing?"
Lu Mingnan was stunned.
