Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

The news that Liu Guangtian had left the Liu family quickly spread throughout the courtyard, causing a lot of discussion.

"Second Uncle is going too far. He's his own son!" someone whispered.

"Yeah, the child was injured like that, but he still didn't care about his life and beat him up like that. No wonder Guangtian wanted to leave." Another person echoed.

"If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to stand it either, and I would have cut off all ties with him a long time ago."

When Liu Haizhong heard these words, his face turned pale, but he said nothing.

Since Liu Guangtian left home that day, he never came back.

Liu Haizhong originally thought that his son was just angry and wouldn't go far, but he didn't expect that this time he would really never come back.

Not only that, the second aunt also left home with her things out of resentment, and Liu Guangfu hid outside and didn't dare to come back, for fear of getting into trouble.

Once a happy family, Liu Haizhong is now left alone, guarding the house that he values ​​most.

One day, when Liu Haizhong passed by the middle courtyard, he saw Lu Qing playing with the children.

The next day, the two little guys were chasing after him, laughing non-stop, and the whole scene was warm and happy.

Looking at this scene, Liu Haizhong suddenly thought of his son when he was a child. They were also so carefree back then.

A trace of regret flashed across his eyes, but when his gaze met Lu Qing's, the softness in his heart instantly turned cold.

"Lu Qing!" Liu Haizhong's heart was boiling with anger. He walked forward with gritted teeth and stared at him angrily: "This is all your fault! You planned it all from the beginning, right?"

After hearing this, Lu Qing smiled and said, "Second Master, where did you get this from?"

"You have been harming me from the beginning to the end just for my house! You have harmed my son and made us father and son fall out!" Liu Haizhong was furious.

Lu Qing smiled slightly: "Second Master, you really flatter me. How can I be so capable?"

Liu Haizhong was filled with anger and said coldly: "Don't even think about succeeding! I won't be fooled by you!"

Lu Qing shook his head and sighed, "What a pity, Second Master, you really didn't fall for it, but your son is gone."

"He is my son! As long as I expose your true face one day, he will come back!" Liu Haizhong said gritting his teeth, with unwillingness in his tone.

"You are hoping that he will change his mind," Lu Qing shrugged and smiled faintly, "But I'm curious, can you wait until that day?"

"Just wait! You've done so many bad things, you'll get your retribution sooner or later." After Liu Haizhong said this, he glared at Lu Qing fiercely, turned around and walked into the backyard with a sullen face.

Lu Qing looked at Liu Haizhong's departing back with a hint of sneer on his lips.

He lowered his head and found that the two children were looking at him in surprise and some worry.

He patted their heads, smiled and continued to play with them.

In the evening, Chen Wenhui came out of the house and called them in with a smile to eat.

Since Chen Wenhui went home to visit her parents, she brought her children back.

She felt that it was inappropriate to use Lu Qing's money and then live in her mother's house.

Her parents and brothers also advised her to come back early to take care of Lu Qing. Her mother, in particular, whispered in her ear: "You must take good care of Lu Qing and don't let other women take advantage of you."

Chen Wenhui thought of the women around Lu Qing who were eyeing him covetously and smiled slightly.

She walked into the house and sat around the dining table with Lu Qing and the children. The family was having a great time.

At the other end of the yard, Qin Huairu stood at the window, looking at the happy Lu Qing family, her heart filled with jealousy and resentment.

She had planned to plan another action to completely bring Lu Qing down.

However, before she could implement her plan, Jia Zhang returned the next day.

She said it was inconvenient for her to live in her sister's house as it was too crowded, so she simply brought her children back with her.

Jia Zhang stayed at home every day and had no intention of going out. Even if she wanted to find an opportunity, she had no idea where to start.

Now that Chen Wenhui is back, even if Lu Qing takes the initiative to come to him, he probably won't dare to act rashly.

Qin Huairu felt that she needed to find another way.

She quickly found out Lu Qing's whereabouts and discovered a potential good opportunity.

Lu Qing would go into the mountains to collect herbs every once in a while. It was said that there was a place deep in the mountains where he often went to collect herbs.

He had no medical appointments scheduled today, so he rode his bike out.

Chen Wenhui looked at the bright sunny day outside and said, "It's so hot today, why don't we wait until it's cloudy before going?"

Lu Qing shook his head: "It's okay, it's cool in the mountains."

"Be careful outside. I heard there are a lot of snakes in the mountains. If you get bitten, it can be fatal." Chen Wenhui warned.

"Got it." He nodded, but didn't agree in his heart - it was just a poisonous snake, not worth worrying about at all.

Lu Qing rode his bicycle and left the courtyard. He turned into an alley skillfully.

Just as he was riding through the alley, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side. He braked hurriedly and almost hit the other person.

"Is it you?" He frowned and looked at Qin Huairu who was standing in front of him.

"Lu Qing, are you going to pick herbs?" Qin Huairu asked in a low voice.

"Yeah." He responded.

"My mother-in-law has been in poor health recently, and I also want to go pick some herbs. Can you take me with you?" Qin Huairu asked cautiously.

Lu Qing looked at her absent-minded look and couldn't help but smile: "Get in the car."

"...Okay." Qin Huairu originally thought that she would be rejected, but she didn't expect that he would agree so readily.

In fact, she was supposed to go to work today, but when she heard Lu Qing mention last night that he was going into the mountains to collect herbs today, she asked He Yuzhu to ask for leave for her on the grounds of feeling unwell, and then she waited in this deserted alley early in the morning, and finally waited for Lu Qing.

She sat on Lu Qing's bicycle, at a loss for a moment, until the bike started suddenly, and she subconsciously hugged his waist.

The two walked through several unfamiliar alleys and soon arrived at the fields outside the city.

Qin Huairu looked at the farmlands around her and recalled the days when she worked in the countryside. Those days were harder and more hopeless than they are now.

She made up her mind that no matter what, she would never leave the city again.

Soon, Lu Qing parked the car at the edge of a jungle at the foot of a mountain.

Qin Huairu looked around and found that the place was deserted.

She turned to look at Lu Qing, knowing that bringing her here meant his tacit consent.

She mustered up the courage to step forward and tried to get close to Lu Qing, but he held her head down and said, "Don't move."

"I...I just want to..."

"Want to kiss me?" Lu Qing's eyes were filled with contempt.

"……Yes."

"You are not qualified yet." He said coldly.

"You..." Qin Huairu didn't expect him to say that, and her face changed slightly.

Lu Qing suddenly hugged her waist and said in a cold tone: "I know what you want, but you'd better think it through. I won't give you anything except money. In my eyes, you are no different from those prostitutes."

"Lu Qing, you..." Qin Huairu looked at him in shock. She didn't expect him to be so mean and mercilessly belittle her as worthless.

Lu Qing smiled faintly: "Why? Do you expect me to marry you? Or did you get so close to the old man in the past just to get some benefits? What's the difference between you and those people who betrayed themselves?"
