After Losing My Memory, My Husband Begged Me to Love Him Again

Lu Yu and Old Master Lu had a very good relationship, but there was one point on which they could never reach an agreement.

It was precisely because of this one point that ultimately led to the complete breakdown of their relationship.

Old Master Lu probably felt that since Lu Yu was so successful, it was only natural to let him help Lu Guangcheng a bit. After all, he was his biological father. However, in Lu Yu's view, Lu Guangcheng had never taken care of him for a single day. What use was such a father? It was even more impossible to let him leech off of Lu Yu for the rest of his life.

Lu Yu had personally witnessed what it was like when Lu Guangcheng sucked Old Master Lu's blood.

When pure emotions are mixed with impure exploitation, everything changes flavor.

Old Master Lu's actions thoroughly broke Lu Yu's heart.

Lu Yu was only staying because of his remaining affection for Old Master Lu, but this precarious affection only supported Lu Yu for a little while longer. As soon as the New Year passed, on the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Yu was ready to leave.

However, just before leaving, to everyone's surprise, Lu Yu gave Lu Guangcheng a black card in front of everyone.

This was unprecedented. Not only were Lu Yu's stepmother and younger brother shocked, but even Lu Guangcheng himself was somewhat overwhelmed with this unexpected favor. He even forgot about his anger upon learning that his son had only stayed in the old house for one night before leaving.

After repeatedly confirming that the limit on this card could be used freely, Lu Guangcheng was beside himself with joy. His attitude towards Lu Yu did a complete 180-degree turn, with no trace of his previous hostility.

Lu Guangcheng thought that Old Master Lu must have said something to his son last night, and his son had finally learned how to write the word "filial piety."

However, Gu Wan, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but shake her head silently.

Perhaps because she didn't have deep feelings for Lu Yu, Gu Wan understood his personality quite well. She knew he wasn't the type to return evil with kindness.

His generosity and calmness were not signs of compromise or newfound filial piety. The more tolerant and calm he appeared, the more it proved he was acting against his nature. People almost never go against their nature unless they've made up their minds to do something.

If Lu Yu had previously just ignored Lu Guangcheng's family, Gu Wan was almost certain that from now on, he would definitely not show any mercy to his father's family.

The reality was indeed close to Gu Wan's guess. Over the years, Old Master Lu's investment in raising Lu Yu and investing in his company totaled about 175 million, not as much as the two or three hundred million his stepmother thought. But Lu Yu didn't mind returning double that amount, a total of 350 million. Since his grandfather was willing to risk destabilizing his company to consider his son's future life, he probably wouldn't mind this money being spent on his son. As for Lu Yu, he considered it as buying out this grandfather-grandson relationship.

Once Lu Guangcheng had spent this amount, everything would come to an end.

Of course, this so-called end wouldn't happen while Old Master Lu was still alive. Once the old man was gone, there would be no one to stop Lu Yu from doing what he wanted.

The faster Lu Guangcheng spent, the less he would cherish the money he had earned, and the less psychological burden Lu Yu would have.

When it came to squandering money, Lu Guangcheng was a professional. Three hundred million might be an astronomical figure for others, but for him, it was just a matter of a few years.

Just because Lu Guangcheng, who had been spoiled rotten after Old Madam Lu passed away, couldn't see through this, didn't mean that Old Master Lu, who had raised Lu Yu, couldn't.

Probably not expecting his reaction to be so intense, Old Master Lu couldn't help but widen his eyes: "You can't—"

"There's nothing that can't be done, Grandfather," Lu Yu calmly interrupted before the old man could finish.

At this moment, Gu Wan felt that Lu Yu hated the old man in front of him.

The more he had loved before, the more he hated now.

Since he had personally promised not to neglect his father, and his grandfather still didn't believe him, he might as well live up to this reputation.

Before Old Master Lu could say anything more, Lu Yu had already bowed slightly, ready to leave.

"Since there's nothing else here, I'll be going now."

If thirty years of grandfather-grandson affection could be so easily replaced, what else was there to say?

Lu Yu had nothing left to say.

Gu Wan silently sighed, also bowed to Old Master Lu, and then followed Lu Yu out.

As they turned the corner, Gu Wan seemed to catch a glimpse of the old man's body trembling slightly in her peripheral vision. However, it was only for a moment before the view was blocked by the sound of the door closing with a "thud."

Gu Wan turned her head and saw Lu Yu's unsteady eyes; his hands were also trembling slightly.

Gu Wan felt that he was in no condition to drive in his current state.

Seeing this, Lu Yu didn't object. Seeing Gu Wan standing beside him, he quickly let go of the steering wheel and moved to the passenger seat.

As the car slowly started, they could still see the enthusiastic send-off from Lu Yu's father, stepmother, younger brother, and sister-in-law.

Although they didn't understand, such a large sum of money falling from the sky was probably something no one would dislike.

At least at this moment, Lu Guangcheng's family had won.

But could Lu Guangcheng's family win for a moment and win for a lifetime?

As the car slowly drove away from the estate, Lu Yu's cold, mechanical voice soon sounded inside the car—

"My grandfather and grandmother were deeply in love. They only had one son in their lifetime, my father. After my grandmother passed away, my grandfather never remarried, which led to my father being spoiled from a young age. Even after my grandfather's business was gradually phased out by the times, my father never showed any restraint."

"My father is extravagant and short-sighted. He's never suffered in his life and has always felt that everyone in the world, even his own son, should accommodate him. If it weren't for my grandfather always covering for him, he wouldn't possibly be living so well now. Anyone could easily deceive him."

"My stepmother is shrewd and calculating. She takes advantage of my father's stupidity to amass wealth frantically, but similarly, she can't get anything without my father's approval."

"As for my younger brother, there's no need to mention him."

As if remembering something amusing, Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"When he first came to our family, he always liked to imitate me to please my grandfather. That cautious yet greedy look was really quite interesting."

If it weren't for his stepmother later discovering this and forcing him to at least pretend to be generous, Lu Cong would probably still be a joke even now.

However, it's easier to move a mountain than to change one's nature. Lu Cong's intelligence took after his father, and even with his stepmother's shrewdness to balance it out, it was still quite limited.

Among everyone, even Lu Yu admitted that his stepmother was the smartest, but unfortunately, this kind of intelligence that relies on others is useless, especially when relying on two fools, one big and one small.

"So you see, they're not actually a united front. When they no longer have a common goal and start to indulge themselves completely, it's easy for them to fall apart."

In the end, Gu Wan learned that if it hadn't been for Lu Yu's father insisting on withdrawing his investment, not allowing the old man to put more money in, thinking that Lu Yu would fall this time just like the old man did back then and never be able to get up again, Lu Yu wouldn't have needed her eight million later on.

However, even so, the old man still gave in to him in the end.

Even when Lu Guangcheng later used this money to buy a yacht and a small island abroad, the old man only scolded him a few times, and then, just like the previous decades, quickly forgave him.

Old Master Lu didn't raise his son well, Lu Yu was unfortunate not to have a good father, and so the whole family couldn't live well.

Besides these matters, Lu Yu's father frequently set up obstacles for Lu Yu, and each time Lu Yu would actively back down.

Perhaps no one has ever heard the phrase "a son should yield to his father," but Lu Yu had heard it, and more than once.

Gradually, he grew to dislike returning to the family home.

Until this time, when the long-accumulated conflicts finally erupted, leaving no room for reconciliation.

Gu Wan could only sigh, not knowing what else to say.

Seeing Lu Yu's extremely foul mood, Gu Wan hesitated, wondering if she should drive him around to help clear his mind. However, at that moment, Lu Yu's phone rang.

It was a relative from Lu Yu's mother's side.

...Wasn't it said that his mother had abandoned him shortly after his birth?

Noticing Gu Wan's confusion, Lu Yu pressed his lips together and said, "When my company was just starting, my grandmother and grandfather also offered me an investment of over ten million."

Although Lu Yu hadn't accepted it, because of this, he had reconnected with that side of the family.

Judging from his expression, Gu Wan felt it probably wasn't because of the ten million.

But Gu Wan didn't say anything, nor did she continue to ask. She simply turned the car around quietly.

Soon after, Gu Wan met Lu Yu's two uncles and aunts, cousins, grandparents, Lu Yu's birth mother, and... Lu Yu's stepfather and Lu Yu's other younger brother.

This younger brother of Lu Yu was completely different from Lu Cong, appearing to be only eight or nine years old, still a child.

Gu Wan instinctively turned to look at Lu Yu's expression.

She saw that his expression seemed even colder than before. Noticing her gaze, Lu Yu's lips curled into a small arc. Looking at the crowd coming out to greet them, he said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "Don't worry, and there's no need to be too polite. Recently, my uncle's company has run into some problems. You can do whatever you want here."

Gu Wan: "..."

For a moment, Gu Wan couldn't even tell whose family situation was more miserable, hers or Lu Yu's.

Well, there's no point in comparing such things anyway.

Just as Lu Yu's gaze grew increasingly mocking, though it wasn't clear what exactly he was mocking, he suddenly felt a faint warmth near his ear.

It turned out Gu Wan had given him a light kiss.

Though it lasted only for a brief moment.

Gu Wan quickly sat back in the driver's seat, turned her head to look at him, and asked, "Do you feel a bit better now?"

At that moment, even though the cold wind was still biting outside, Lu Yu felt as if his entire being was about to melt because of her.
