Chapter 394 Lu Mingzhong's Side Story 4

Lu Mingzhong is a low-key and homebody.

It was the first time he had been praised to his face, and besides being happy, he was also a little embarrassed.

What's more, this person didn't know that the person in front of her was her favorite author.

And she's so beautiful.

Lu Mingzhong instinctively wanted to say, "Thank you for liking me."

The words were on the tip of his tongue when he realized his mistake and quickly changed them back to, "I like it too!"

Sheng Youxia subtly curled her lips and said, "What impressed me most about this book is..."

"Yes, that's my favorite place too..."

"I just don't like Long Aotian's ending. I really like Long Aotian. I don't know why the author gave him such a domineering name, but the result was so tragic."

"Long Aotian's background and development are both extraordinary. Perhaps that's why the author named him Long Aotian!"

"I think so too, but who does the male lead really love the most? One is his childhood sweetheart, one is his soulmate, and one is someone who silently gives his all..."

"Uh, well..."

Lu Mingzhong didn't know how he ended up talking about his book with Sheng Youxia. One asked her about things she didn't understand, while the other, as the author, clearly understood the foreshadowing in the book.

The two of them continued their question-and-answer session.

This strange scene was interrupted when someone's phone rang.

Sheng Youxia took her phone out of her bag and hung up immediately.

Seeing this, Lu Mingzhong asked in confusion, "Why aren't you answering?"

Sheng Youxia smiled at him and said, "It's not an important call, I'll call her back later."

"I'm sorry to have kept you chatting for so long. I hope I didn't take up too much of your time!"

Lu Mingzhong shook his head slightly and said, "No. I didn't know you liked reading novels!"

Judging from her demeanor, she doesn't seem like someone who reads novels.

Sheng Youxia chuckled softly, "I've loved watching this since high school."

"Thank you for telling me so much, well then..."

Sheng Youxia tapped a few times on her phone and handed it to Lu Mingzhong, saying, "I think you have a very accurate understanding of the author's books. Let's exchange contact information!"

Lu Mingzhong stared at the screen on his phone for a moment, then took out his phone and scanned the QR code.

This was the first time someone had asked for his contact information, and he was both willing and unwilling to give it to them.

Okay, let's just consider it a treat for our fans!

Sheng Youxia's eyes widened with a smile that made Lu Mingzhong's eyes dazzle for a moment. She was truly beautiful!

"I have something to do, so I'll have to go now. If I have any questions later, I'll ask you, and I hope you can give me an answer. Also, thank you for this book!"

After saying that, Sheng Youxia smiled and turned to leave. When Lu Mingzhong couldn't see her, the smile on her face disappeared, and she instantly turned cold and aloof. At this moment, without the smile, her appearance was truly aggressive.

Of course, Lu Mingzhong didn't see any of this.

He just felt that he happened to run into a fan who liked his books while he was out buying books today, and she was also a very beautiful woman.

Therefore, considering that the other party was a fan of his book, he even paid for the book for them.

Other emotions, however, were not affected.

Lu Mingzhong chuckled and carried the books he had bought home.

During the journey, Lu Yuanqing called.

"Go back. I'm free this afternoon, so I can go early! Sister Xiaoxi is in Kyoto? Okay, I'll put the books at home and come over!"

……

As soon as Lu Mingzhong arrived at the three courtyards of the siheyuan, he heard Lu Mingxi's voice.

His voice was as strong as ever.

"Third Uncle, tell me, isn't that brat asking for a beating! He doesn't want to live a good life anymore, he insists on starting his own business. Is starting a business so easy? He even said he wants to be independent and will never listen to us again. It's infuriating! He was so well-behaved when he was little, how come he's so disobedient now that he's grown up?"

Lu Mingzhong could hear Lu Mingxi's complaints from a great distance.

As they approached, Lu Yuanbo was still comforting Lu Mingxi, "Xiaoxi, let Yangyang do whatever he likes! He's still young, there's plenty of time for everything. Besides, we're here for him! We won't let him suffer any injustice."

"Fourth Uncle, it's that brat who's making me suffer, not him. I'd rather he suffer. Change your mind. Why leave the perfectly good system and insist on starting your own business? Others want to get in but can't! It's infuriating..."

Lu Mingzhong smiled and said, "Sister, why did Yangyang suddenly decide to start her own business?"

“Xiao Zhong is back!” Lu Mingxi said, “Who knows what that rascal was thinking? He suddenly came back and said he quit his job and is planning to start his own business.”

Lu Yuanqing rubbed his temples. "You didn't even ask him why he resigned!"

Lu Mingxi said nonchalantly, "He was like a fool, giving up a perfectly good position in the system. I was so angry at the time that I didn't even have the mind to ask any questions!"

If it weren't for the business trip to Kyoto, she would still be at home confronting Wei Yangyang!

Both mother and son have bad tempers and neither is willing to give in to the other.

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

"Since he has already resigned, let's not think about this anymore. As for other things, whether Yangyang wants to start his own business or whatever, there's no need to rush. Let's figure out why he wants to start his own business first."

"Hmph!" Lu Yuanbo said, "I think it's because you guys, Xiao Xi and Yangyang, have been too strict with him, arranging everything for him. Now look what's happened, the child is older, has his own opinions, doesn't like your arrangements anymore, and his rebellious phase has finally arrived!"

Lu Mingzhong nodded in agreement: "Sister, Yangyang has always been very sensible, but that doesn't mean he will always be this sensible."

To put it bluntly, the reason Wei Yangyang was so sensible before was because Lu Mingxi was too strong-willed. Even if Wei Yangyang wanted to resist, the sparks of resistance were suppressed as soon as they were ignited.

Therefore, Lu Yuanbo is right; Wei Yangyang's rebellious phase came late.

Lu Mingxi: "..."

Something's not right!

Shouldn't they all stand in front of her after she explains the reason and then help her persuade Yangyang?

How did it turn into a denunciation meeting for her?

"No, Fourth Uncle, Xiao Zhong, why are you all siding with that brat? What do you mean by rebellious? He's so old. What's there for him to rebel against? We had such a hard time before, trying to get him into such a good department. It wasn't easy. We went through so much trouble to get him in, and now he's giving up such a good job."

"What we gave up was not just his hard work, but also ours. We put in a lot of effort for his job."

Upon hearing this, the other three rolled their eyes in unison.

It's as if finding a job for Wei Yangyang would be difficult for the Wei family.

Lu Yuanqing waved his hand, "Alright, we've got the gist of it. They've all resigned now, so let's not dwell on it anymore. Xiao west, call Yangyang and ask him if he's coming to Kyoto for a while!"

"Once he comes to Kyoto, ask him why he suddenly wants to start a business. Don't keep arguing with him about this every day."

“I’ve told all of you before that raising children isn’t about controlling them for life. Once they grow up, you should learn to let go and let them make their own decisions, instead of trying to arrange things for them.”

"The only thing you should do is stand behind them and wait for them to create their own success. When they need you, just support them."

Lu Mingxi: "..." I got too angry and forgot how Uncle Three treated the children.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Yuanbo glared at her and said, "Did you hear what your third uncle said? Stop pressuring Yangyang all the time. He's a good boy, and he's at the age where he should be getting married. It's time for him to make his own decisions. Why are you arranging this and that for him all the time? Why are you worrying so much?"

Lu Mingxi: "...I understand. I'll call him later."

She was still unwilling to accept that Wei Yangyang had left the system just like that.

But Lu Yuanqing is right. Since Wei Yangyang resigned without informing her first, it's because he was afraid she wouldn't agree.

There must be a reason for such a resolute decision.

Seeing that the situation had eased considerably, Lu Mingzhong lowered his head and played on his phone.

Lu Mingxi's decision to shut down was exactly what he had predicted.

He honestly sent this result to someone who was anxious.

Not long after receiving Lu Yuanqing's call, just as he got home, put down his book, and was about to come over, he received a call from Wei Yangyang.

Therefore, he already knew that Wei Yangyang had resigned, and after Lu Mingxi came to Kyoto, the place he would most like to visit was his third uncle's place.

Wei Yangyang asked him to relay the message, and he readily agreed.

[I need you to come to Kyoto to discuss the specifics. Depending on the situation, your third and fourth uncles are on your side.]

[Okay! Got it, thanks Uncle!]

Lu Mingzhong smiled and didn't press him for the reason for his resignation. He twirled his phone in his hand for a moment, and just as he was about to put it back in his pocket, it lit up.

Lu Mingzhong picked it up and saw that it was Sheng Youxia's message.

Lu Mingzhong's emotions were unclear for a moment, then he clicked on the question and his fingers moved quickly after seeing it.

Suddenly, Lu Mingzhong felt a tap on his shoulder and tensed up.

Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow: "What are you posting! You seem so nervous."

There's something going on.

Lu Mingzhong turned off his phone, chuckled, and his mind raced as he said, "Reporting my achievements to Yangyang!"

Lu Yuanqing smiled.

"That kid!!"

"Your sister Xiaoxi is just being sarcastic and unwilling to accept things, but she has already accepted reality."

Lu Mingzhong raised an eyebrow, "I didn't realize!"

He was just complaining a moment ago.

Lu Yuanqing crossed his arms and looked at Lu Mingxi, who had calmed down and was now smiling as he went with Lu Yuanbo to see what to have for lunch.

"She's ambitious and has her own ideas, and she hopes that Yangyang can follow the path they've planned."

“But that only works if Yangyang likes it,” Lu Mingzhong said.

Under Lu Yuanqing's influence, the Lu family is quite respectful of the wishes of the next generation.

But there are always exceptions.

One is Lu Yuanbo, and the other is Lu Mingxi.

Lu Yuanbo is alright; he doesn't overly enjoy controlling the lives of the younger generation.

But Lu Mingxi is different.

From a young age, everything Yangyang and her brother learned and did was arranged by Lu Mingxi.

Lu Yuanqing shrugged: "Her thoughts are not as simple as you think!"
