Chapter 584 Turns Out It’s a Plan
Lu Yichen saw that their objective had been achieved and didn’t care whether the Cui family mother and sons stayed or left. Lu Yixuan went upstairs to call his wife and child down, and also brought Lu Yiting with them.
Before leaving, he made sure to remind his sister to take the jewelry box as well. After such an incident, he wasn’t confident in leaving their belongings in this house anymore.
Stepmother Geng Mingli entered the Lu family when Lu Yiting was ten, introduced by Luo Ziming, who at that time was especially close to Lu Xinyi.
Luo Ziming persuaded Lu Xinyi to remarry, arguing it was to find someone to take care of Yiting. Later, Luo Ziming introduced Geng Mingli, who was downtrodden at the time with a son and a daughter in tow.
Back then, Lu Xinyi was busy with work all day, with no time to take care of the kids, leaving most of the responsibilities on his sister-in-law, Gu Qianru. But in those years, after losing his daughter, his father-in-law’s health worsened, and Qianru alone couldn’t keep up with everything.
After Geng Mingli joined the Lu family, she was indeed good to the three stepchildren, never harsh, but she didn’t invest much effort in managing them either; she simply let the three children be.
However, with the Gu family overseeing things, the children turned out alright and all had good academic achievements. The two older ones joined the military when they came of age, and Lu Yiting continued schooling, just as the country had reinstated the Gaokao.
After Lu Yixuan and his siblings left, Lu Xinyi also changed clothes in preparation to leave, which panicked Geng Mingli. She grabbed Lu Xinyi and said, "Old Lu, can’t we sit down and talk this through? If you leave like this, what am I supposed to do?"
Lu Xinyi said, "Ask your daughter how she got those things."
