Since they moved abroad, he has always been present, accompanied her to shopping, and accompanied her to any place she wanted to be; he recalled all the important days in her life and celebrated them all; from Lu Zhi Hao, he has learned what it was to love someone wholeheartedly. He could feel the warmth of this family compared to that home they had abandoned, which was cold and looked deserted. This was the best decision he ever made in his life.
He can recall how she secretly cried every single day back at the Li mansion but here at the Lu mansion, not even a single day had she cried or found a reason to be angry. She was a dutiful wife and a loving mother any child would wish to have, and that was the reason they wished she had a safe delivery and had such a beautiful moment with her biological kids.
"That would be awesome, I don't want to see her sad and soulless. She is priceless to be stressed." Yes, he didn't want to see that kind of a woman he had seen at the airport for their first meeting. He loved the woman she had become now. She was happy and fulfilled.
"Don't worry, if anyone dared to hurt her, I will hunt them down personally no matter who it was. I don't care but they would have to pay double." Yes, anyone who dared to make their momma angry, they would skin them alive and feed them to the sharks.
"How are the projects coming along? Do we need to purchase more shares?" Secretly, they had bought the Li Cooperation shares, and they were at 30%. If it weren't for their mother's contribution, how could the Li Cooperation rise up like that? For her birthday, they needed to return her investment to her. This was her hard work, and they weren't going to watch them snatch it all away and enjoy all the benefits themselves.
"Fixing the loose ends... Actually, I didn't spend much." Lu Zi Zhen giggled, but those eyes were cold and calculative; there was a side of him that his mother, Lu Wan Ruyi, didn't know existed. If Lu Zhi Hao was a cruel man then he was no match for Lu Zi Zhen when it came to cruelty and cold-blooded. He calculated everything with interest. It's just that, he looked quite innocent with that baby face and those eyes that were charming and smiling all the time.
"All right, just be careful and don't expose yourself." Lu Ting Cheng knew what he was up to. This was his biological father he was going up against, didn't he feel any heartache? Didn't he have any attachments? Didn't his heart ache even a little bit? Will he have a change of heart?
"You don't have to overthink! I only have my dear momma." Yes, it was her who had accompanied him whenever he had nightmares, it was her who knew how his health condition was. It was she who would take him to the hospital, worried in the middle of the night, and accompany him in the hospital on those cold nights. It was she who accompanied him every single time he was admitted to the hospital or for checkups. It was she who had struggled with him; he would never have a change of heart, no matter what. His life belonged to her. She was the only person in his heart.
Even his brothers termed him as a weakling and bullied and insulted him all the time whenever he couldn't match up to them. They always tried to disassociate themselves from him because of how weak and sickly he was. His father could always feel angry towards him whenever he caught a slight cold. Apart from having to spend a lot of time in the hospital and bills that had to be paid, his father had always called him 'some expensive garbage'.
"A man shouldn't be this weak! Look at your brothers!"
"Can't you be a healthy kid? How come your brothers are so healthy and you were born with them from the same person and day?"
"Apart from paying bills after bills, what else are you contributing? Look at your brothers; they are already recognized in society, and look at you! You are nothing."
How could a boy like him stand up for himself in front of them knowing he was sickly and hadn't wished to be this weak? How could he defend himself when he actually couldn't speak his heart out since he was frightened?
