Chapter 395 Lu Mingzhong's Side Story 5
Lu Mingxi, someone who set his goals early on, would he be someone who thinks so simply?
Lu Mingzhong understood some of it.
So he chuckled and said, "They say that three times of poverty and three times of wealth don't last a lifetime. Sister Xiaoxi is getting more and more insightful."
Lu Yuanqing smiled as well, "So, you know why she's so insistent?"
There's a saying in my hometown: "Poverty shouldn't last three generations, nor should wealth."
But the reality is that poverty lasts for three generations, and then it's over.
They can remain rich forever.
Lu Mingxi has been opinionated since childhood.
Perhaps initially limited by her limited perspective, her own opinions were determined by her desire to live a good life, to eat delicious food, and to wear beautiful clothes—basically, to enjoy herself however she wanted.
But after so many years, people who have been in the system for a long time have a much broader perspective than she did when she was a child.
The prosperity of a family is not the result of the efforts of one person, but the efforts of generations.
“Actually, I can understand Sister Xiaoxi quite well,” Lu Mingzhong said in a deep voice.
“Our Lu family is financially secure thanks to you, Uncle Three, and Uncle Four. We also have a decent position in the business world. But the Wei family has always been part of the system. Under these circumstances, Yangyang, as the child of Sister Xiaoxi and Brother Wei, definitely needs to continue to maintain the family's honor.”
Whether in the business world or within the system, wherever there are people, there will be struggle.
Lu Yuanqing saw that he understood everything, but felt somewhat helpless.
“We were all born in the countryside, and we were fortunate to be born in a good era, where we could change our lives through our own efforts.”
In the future, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven for children from poor families to achieve success.
Being born in a good era can indeed save you from taking many detours.
“Children in rural areas should know from birth that their grandparents’ generation did everything they could to ensure their starting point was in a town, their parents could ensure their starting point was in a county, and if they themselves worked hard, they could live in a big city, and then their next generation could start in a big city.”
"This is the significance of generations of hard work."
“If…” Lu Yuanqing pondered for a moment before saying, “If our family hadn’t ended up like this, even if I wanted to be understanding of Yangyang, I probably wouldn’t be able to let it go, just like your sister Xiaoxi.”
That's just how cruel the truth is.
He worked so hard before so that they could have their own choices and that he could help them when they were helpless.
Lu Mingzhong nodded in complete understanding.
He and Lu Mingbei never felt any difficulty when faced with choices.
It's all because of Lu Yuanqing.
“I understand Xiaoxi very well. She has always been a very goal-oriented person who works tirelessly to achieve it. I can understand why she can’t accept Yangyang’s choice.”
“But Uncle, you’re right. No matter how unwilling or confused we are, since it’s already been decided, we shouldn’t dwell on it anymore, lest we suffer for nothing.”
Lu Mingzhong felt that he should be a carefree person who didn't take things to heart.
But he knew that the most carefree person in the family was Lu Yuanqing.
It seems that no matter how big the matter is, it's nothing special in his eyes.
“Third Uncle, even if I lived another twenty years, I probably wouldn’t be as open-minded as you,” Lu Mingzhong said sincerely.
Lu Yuanqing picked up the teacup, and just as he brought it to his lips, he was amused by what he said.
"Because I have always firmly believed that since it has happened, it must be fate. How can people change fate? As long as people live in this world, they will encounter all kinds of problems. Some people are afraid, but what is there to be afraid of? There are many difficulties, but there are even more ways to solve them. We will always find a way."
Is he able to accept it?
I guess so!
We've lived to such an old age, what's there to be upset about?
Lu Mingzhong smiled but didn't say anything.
……
Wei Yangyang arrived that afternoon.
Given that Lu Mingxi had been counseled by Lu Yuanqing before Wei Yangyang arrived, Lu Mingxi did not get angry or lose his temper after Wei Yangyang arrived. Instead, he pulled Wei Yangyang aside and had a good talk with him.
The final result wasn't good for anyone, but it was at least a solution.
Lu Mingzhong stayed in the courtyard house until after 10 p.m. before returning to his own home.
Looking at the stack of books laid out on the tea table, he had no interest in reading them. After washing up, he went to bed.
The next day, after waking up, he began to read books in seclusion, working on the outline and saving drafts.
Knowing that he was in seclusion again, Lu Yuanqing did not disturb him, but instead sent someone to his door to prepare meals for him.
On the contrary, Sheng Youxia, a fan of his books, often asked him questions online.
Lu Mingzhong wasn't an idiot.
Seeing that the other person initially asked about the contents of the book, but later started talking about life, hobbies and so on.
Is there anything else he doesn't understand?
Lu Mingzhong was somewhat surprised, but thinking about the other person's appearance, he felt a little flutter in his heart.
Heart of beauty in everyone.
Lu Mingzhong silently cursed himself for being 'superficial'.
No matter how much he tried to convince himself, when a message came in, his hands would obediently reply to it.
Lu Mingzhong belatedly realized that he probably had some feelings for Sheng Youxia.
So, without much thought, he started to get to know Sheng Youxia.
The more he got to know the other person, the more he realized that they were really to his liking.
They like the same things, love to eat the same things, and even have many similar ideas.
Lu Mingzhong was secretly delighted, and then turned the tables and took the initiative.
Both of them are the kind of people who, once they've made up their minds, will take great initiative.
This caused their relationship to progress by leaps and bounds.
When Lu Yuanqing found out, it was already half a year later. He went to visit Lu Mingzhong and found Sheng Youxia in his room.
Lu Yuanqing carried various kinds of food, entered the door by entering the password, changed his shoes, and then stared at Sheng Youxia in the room.
Sheng Youxia was startled, but then guessed Lu Yuanqing's identity. She immediately pointed to a room and said, "Uh, Lu Mingzhong is taking a shower."
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
When Sheng Youxia saw the twitching on his face, she immediately realized what was happening, blushed slightly, and quickly added, "He just finished exercising and went to take a shower."
After she finished speaking, she was stunned.
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
"No, he was running!!!"
Seeing that the girl's face was flushed all the way to her neck, Lu Yuanqing didn't make things difficult for her and kindly changed the subject, "I know. You're from the Sheng family, aren't you!"
As Lu Yuanqing spoke, he put down the things he was carrying.
“Ah! Yes! Uncle Lu!” Sheng Youxia stood up straight obediently.
Lu Yuanqing smiled kindly and said, "Don't be so nervous, sit down!"
"Thank you, Uncle Lu!" How could Sheng Youxia not be nervous?
This is Lu Yuanqing, the legendary Lu Yuanqing, a great figure whom even her father rarely gets to meet.
Lu Yuanqing wanted to have a polite chat, but he was also very curious about the relationship between this girl and his Lu Mingzhong.
But, they've already entered the house, what kind of relationship could they possibly have!
Sure! Lu Mingzhong.
"Uh, your name is Sheng Youxia, right?" Lu Yuanqing said with a smile.
Sheng Youxia smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Lu!"
Lu Yuanqing smiled with satisfaction.
I thought Lu Mingzhong was going to be single forever, but I never expected him to have found a girlfriend and even bring her home.
Lu Mingzhong is a person who values his private life very much. Apart from his own family, no other outsiders have ever been allowed to come into his home.
He is someone who values privacy very much.
But now that Sheng Youxia is able to come in, Lu Yuanqing no longer needs to guess Lu Mingzhong's intentions.
The girl has already come to our door, so there's no need to guess her intentions.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to leave the girl standing there, Lu Yuanqing would have taken out his phone and announced the good news in the family group chat.
As an elder, they naturally wouldn't let the topic fall into a low-brow state.
So, when Lu Mingzhong came out after taking a shower, he saw Lu Yuanqing and Sheng Youxia talking harmoniously.
Lu Mingzhong paused in drying his hair, a smirk playing on his lips, and walked over.
"Third Uncle, you're here!"
Lu Yuanqing turned his head, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Kid, you're pretty good!"
Lu Mingzhong smiled at him, "That's right!"
Sheng Youxia: "..." Finally out, she was so nervous.
Lu Yuanqing patted Lu Mingzhong on the shoulder, "You brat, aren't you going to introduce him to your third uncle?"
He decided to give a formal introduction so he could tell the eagerly awaiting people in the group.
