Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 533: The Mind Of The Intellectuals

Lu Yi went to work almost immediately after reaching home. After staying out for about 10 days, his work at the Procuratorate would have undoubtedly been piling up. Needless to say, there was a mountainous amount of work waiting for him, regardless of insignificant or huge matters. This was troubling enough to give his secretary a headache. However, Lu Yi was calm in the face of the storm. He sat down at his seat and promptly began to tackle the colossal amount of work one by one. It took him three days of endless work to finally finish everything that needed to be done. He fetched a glass of milk from the door and entered his room. He no longer wanted to move an inch of his muscle, slaving away for three whole days was enough to render him lifeless.

He could finally take a break. He warmed the milk, took it out, and sat down for a well-deserved rest. A sudden ring of his phone however interrupted him.

“Hey Mum, it’s me.”

“Yes, I know, I’ll be there soon,” he said. He hung up and put his phone back in his bag. He reached for his milk and gave it a little shake. It was just the right temperature and not too warm. He raised the glass and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls.

Yan Huan had been religiously ordering the milk for him. If he did not drink the milk, the helper in his house would store it well. A fresh order would arrive the next day as usual.

He grabbed his car keys, went down and drove to his parents’ house.

He was not sure why his parents asked him over. Well, he did stay for about 10 days at Yan Huan’s place and headed straight to the procuratorate after working non-stop for three days there. He had not been back for almost half a month now, and did not contact them during then too. He wondered what his mother was going to say when he arrived.

He parked in front of the gate. Currently, the whole Lu house had been divided into two. One east, one west, with a wall and metal railings in between.

For Lu Yi, he was naturally optimistic about this change.

After all, both Lu Qin and his mother were simply detestable.

The family had never been outwardly discourteous to both of them, but it was obvious that some people were too greedy and ungrateful.

He opened the door and walked in, only to realize that there were guests.

Oh, it was them.

“Mum, I’m back,” Lu Yi said. He changed his shoes and entered.

“You’re back, come have a seat,” Ye Shuyun called upon seeing her son. Just as he sat down, a chubby cat trotted toward him. Lu Yi bent down and embraced it, finding that this feline had gained a bit of weight.

“Mum, you fed it too much food,” Lu Yi exclaimed as he put it back down. The cat used to be a very fit kitten, coming from a royal breed. Now, it had grown well and burly under their care.

Ye Shuyun was slightly embarrassed at her son’s comment, but she could not help herself. Little Bean had a huge appetite and everyone showered it with limitless love. It was a good thing to let him eat, they thought, and thus it had now evolved into this stocky creature.

Lu Yi walked over, with Little Bean naturally strolling by his side. It crawled down, letting out a yawn, then curled up into a ball as it went to sleep.

The people sitting across him were none other than Fang Zhu’s family.

Fang Zhu had finally recovered after half a month of rehabilitation and healing. Other than her paleness and having to move around in a wheelchair, she was no different than herself before the incident. Most importantly, she did not lose any limbs from it.

She was alive and well, all four limbs attached, and all organs in place.

Fang Zhu stood up, dressed the same as always, but this accident had aged her tremendously. Wrinkles had formed in the corner of her eyes, even though she barely reached 30 years old, making her look almost a decade older.

You could never know why some people looked like they aged backwards, while some grew old and declined at a much faster pace.

“Lu Yi, I would like to thank you,” she said as she gave him a bow. “And...” she bowed again. “This is my apology on behalf of my parents,” she stated as she sat. She took out something and placed it in front of him, “My mother did not know about the truth so she destroyed your phone. I’m hoping to compensate for her mistake, even though I know you lack nothing.”

Fang Zhu nudged the phone forward toward him. She knew all about the Lu family, they were all very wealthy, especially Lu Yi. However, a mistake was a mistake. She would do whatever needed to be done, whether it was an apology or compensation. Even though she can be quite overbearing in character, she is not unreasonable.

After all, Lu Yi saved her life.

Of course, the driver who ran over her was caught, and a hefty punishment awaited him.

However, the thought of Lu Yi being no longer single shattered her heart. She should have been his wife, she had chosen to marry him in the future. Now, he was to be someone else’s husband, and not hers. She could not accept this reality, she could not let it go.

The Fang parents sitting beside her were shuffling anxiously, as though sitting on a bed of cacti. It was natural for them to be awkward or restless, as initially they were highly opposed to the idea of coming today to apologize. After all, they were well-educated professionals and could not humble themselves for this. However, there was no one else to be blamed but themselves for committing a grave mistake of wrongly accusing someone and slapping him.

“I will be taking this,” Lu Yi said as he took it away and put it aside.

“As for your apology, I do not need it. It did not bother me.” Lu Yi was not a petty person. He accepted it since they personally came to his house to apologize.

As for their wrongdoing, he had already erased it from his memory.

“Yes, yes,” Ye Shuyun agreed. She was equally embarrassed as she had spouted many indecent words at that time. She had never been a calm and collected lady.

“I would like to apologize too,” Ye Shuyun said. Seeing that everyone else had admitted to their mistake, of course, she would do the same.

“Oh no, please don’t apologize to us,” Fang Zhu’s father replied awkwardly. It was undeniably uncomfortable for both families to be there. It was only after they left that Ye Shuyun could finally let out a sigh of relief.

“They really gave me quite a scare.”

She patted her chest, “I thought they were coming for revenge, but instead they came for an apology. You can never tell what these intellectuals are thinking.”
