Part Two Chapter 48

ewed them, she was now reiterating the evidence and defense arguments, demanding that the court acquit Xu Wei.Just as she had argued at the conference, she put forward the presumption of innocence.Fir...Ruan Ruan suffered from severe morning sickness. She would vomit for half a day every morning, until her bile came out and she felt bitter in her mouth before feeling slightly better. She also had a dizzy head every day. The hospital leaders saw that she was too serious and advised her to rest at home for a few days. However, due to her personality, she felt embarrassed to trouble other teachers to take her classes, so she thought about holding on for another few weeks. Anyway, she was alone at home.

Just got out of class and stepped out of the school gate. I didn't see the driver, so I was about to call him when suddenly Lu Kuo came down from the car and strode towards me. He still looked the same as always, as if his appearance could automatically bathe the surroundings in sunshine. Even the gloomiest heart would be lifted by his presence.

Ruan Ruan looked at him, her eyes instantly reddened, but a smile spread across her face: "How did you come back"

"Come back and see me."

Lu Kuai hugged her and then looked her up and down, frowning: “Why have you lost so much weight”

"Morning sickness, it's normal, nothing to worry about." Ruanruan said, then felt a little nauseous again, but not intensely. She held it back.

Lu Kuo put his arms around her shoulders. "Let's go home."

He rushed over directly from the airport. Seeing her like this, he was even more worried. "You look a little pale and thin. Go back and change your nanny and nutritionist."

"You're too tense, it's normal. The doctor said this phase will pass."

Lu Kuo didn't believe her, she always reported good news but not bad. Now he wished he could take her to the hospital for another check-up.

"You don't believe me Ask Tinglan, she accompanied me to the last prenatal checkup."

Tinglan would always come over after work every evening to chat with her, or accompany her for dinner before heading home. Living in the same residential complex allowed them to look out for each other, which was also why Lu Kuo didn't allow her to live on campus.

Knowing he was coming back, Zhu Yu'an and his wife came to see him in the evening. Ting Lan and Ruan Ruan chatted beside them, while Zhu Yu'an and Lu Kuò drank at the bar.

Needless to say, Zhuo Yunan understands the situation of the Lu family. Lu Kuo's father, Lu Shaocheng, did indeed use his position to give Tingjing Finance the green light and invested in several major projects back then. Those were also the first pot of gold and foundation for Tingjing Finance. But Lu Shaocheng is a low-key and cautious person. Over the years, the only "stain" he has is Tingjing Finance.

He was caught this time because it was a period of transition, and he was a strong contender for the highest position in the ministry. So, it's not really about his personal issues, but more about a power struggle between two factions.

This man, Zhuo Hong, valued his career more than anyone else. He was willing to help with Lu Shaochin's matter because the Lu and Zhuo families were allies. If the Lu family fell into ruin, the Zhuo family would naturally be affected as well.

So, in this case of Lu Shaocheng's problem, both publicly and privately, he worked hard to run around to all parties. In the end, the result was that Lu Shaocheng could avoid going to jail, but his position couldn't be saved.

Lu Kuo, like Zhu Yu'an, was naturally free-spirited since childhood and had no interest in officialdom.

"Just think of it as the old man retiring early. Sooner or later, someone will be left to drink tea alone."

He spoke with an air of nonchalance, but deep down he knew that with his father out of power, Jing Whale Finance had suffered a heavy blow. His grandfather was about to turn eighty and had just gotten sick; the Lu family was truly finished. The good life he'd enjoyed before was gone for good.

When Zhuo Yu and An raised their glasses, he suddenly said cheekily, “From now on, I’ll have to rely on you for support.”

Just some thoughts, a joke.

To my surprise, Zhuo Yu'an, despite his look of disdain, actually answered seriously, “Sure.”

Lu Ku instantly felt touched and wanted to cry. If it had been in the past, he would have happily let Zhuo Yu'an take care of everything. But now that he has a wife and children, asking Zhuo Yu'an to raise his family wouldn't make sense. He still had to be self-reliant. He had to get back up from where he fell. Even though Jing Finance was on the verge of collapse, there must be a way out.

Zuo Yu'an was afraid he would be emotionally moved, so after drinking the glass of wine in his hand, he got up and shouted towards the living room: "Tinglan, come home."

While calling for her, he had already prepared her coat and bag, as considerate and thoughtful as always.

When it came to pregnancy, Tinglan had experience, so she gave Ruannuan a few more pieces of advice before leaving with Zhuo Yu'an's arm in hers.

Zhuo Yu'an had only had a little bit of alcohol, but seeing Ting Lan talking to Ruan Ruan with such tenderness made him feel a bit giddy. He couldn't resist kissing her in the elevator.

He didn't know if it was the alcohol talking, or if he truly thought about it, but suddenly he said in her ear, "Tinglan, let's have another child."

I'm a little envious of Lu Kuò, who can participate in the whole pregnancy and look forward to the arrival of a new life together.

"No." Tinglan refused without hesitation. One shouldn't be too greedy, a little regret in life is good.

After they left, Ruannuan also felt a bit tired. She took a shower and went to bed. Strangely, she hadn't wanted to vomit all day before Lu Kuo came back.

Lu Kuò smugly said: "Because I am your panacea."

Ruan Ruan...

"Are you back Is Yaoyao traveling in Beijing alone"

"In a few days, there will be an aunt and a nurse at home." Lu Kuo gently stroked her belly. Just like before, it was soft and flat. He felt so amazing. Was a life really growing inside

Ruan Ruan leaned against him, feeling very safe and content: "You don't have to come back specially to accompany me. You go about your business, I can take care of myself."

He may appear carefree and fearless on the surface, but he's human too. He must be terrified and helpless when his family faces such a huge crisis. He just gets used to masking his negative emotions.

They are a couple. She can't help him in his career, but she hopes to give him a psychological safe haven.

Lu Kuai's trip back to Senzhou this time was primarily about seeing her and spending time with her. Secondly, he needed to return to the company to get a clear picture of the current situation. He used to joke about wanting to be a carefree second-generation rich kid, but that was only possible because his elders had been supporting him. Now that they were gone, he had to rely on himself.

Lu Yao was alone in Beijing. She wasn't exhausted, but she felt a bit panicked. Her uncle was also at home, but because his career had suffered a major setback and he suddenly had nothing to do, he was depressed. He spent most of his time indoors and didn't show himself much. The maid couldn't get him to eat, so she had to call him. Lu Yao wasn't particularly close to her uncle, so seeing him with a sullen face every day made her a little nervous.

My grandpa is undergoing rehabilitation training, but no matter how he trains, it's impossible to return to his former strength. Every time she sees his limbs crooked, she has to hide and cry for a while. It's heartbreaking and pitiful, making her feel incredibly helpless.

After wiping away her tears, she continued to greet everyone with a smile.

The old man could walk a few steps without help, and she clapped beside him: "Grandpa is so amazing."

The old man's limbs were a little more coordinated than usual, and she cheered beside him: "Grandpa, how did you progress so quickly!"

Chapter 1u Yaoyao."Sit down." It was considerate and chivalrous.He glanced at Lu Kuò, who hadn't sat down yet, and asked, "Do you want me to pull a chair for you too"Lu Kuo said, "Then thank you, Gu Shao." He...
