Chapter 1783 Strength Gap (1/2)
"Madam, you seem to have overestimated yourself. Lu Lin is not only capable on his own, he is also very powerful in M State, right? Although the Torrance family has been very prominent in recent years and their strength is also aggressive, but with For an underground alliance with a century-old organization, it’s still not worth mentioning, right?”
Wei Shu spoke without giving any face.
"Really? I didn't expect you to say such things, Wei Shu. I can see that you know the Underground Covenant and Lu Lin very well? In this case, then I should let you stay by my side, right? After all, like There are not many people who dare to tell the truth like you." Mrs. Torrance smiled and seemed to find Wei Shu's words very interesting.
"Isn't that necessary? Madam, you rescued me just to let me do things for you. I will meet your requirements and do things for you, but I hope you can understand my feelings. I will not do Duan Zhizhi right. The bad thing is that your subordinates used her to threaten me before. I hate being threatened," Wei Shu said.
Mrs. Torrance: "So, you really like that girl, right? Do you still like her even if she is married? I didn't expect that the capital is full of infatuated people."
"How can there be so much true love in this world? It's just other people's imagination. Is there any difference between the people I hate and the people I like? I won't give up my original plans for them." Wei Shu's words were light and cold.
Perhaps it was because of his condition that Mrs. Torrance valued him particularly, and even felt that his condition was the best candidate for her plan.
"I like your frankness," said Mrs. Torrance.
"My frankness? I'm just telling the truth. If you think this is frankness, then I will accept it happily. Madam, should I finish saying the polite words? What do you want me to do? You can say it's okay." Wei Shu said .
Mrs. Torrance nodded: "I just like chatting with smart people, it makes me feel less burdened. But Wei Shu, can you promise to listen to me now?"
Wei Shu shook his head: "Sorry, I can't."
"Um?"
"I am also a normal person. Even if I am rescued by you, I don't have to be a puppet. I can still have my own opinions, right?" he asked.
Mrs. Torrance nodded: "Yes, you should have your own opinion, but the prerequisite is that you have to help me do my things, so that you can have a life that belongs to you. I can guarantee that as long as you help me do it, After I finish my business, I will let you leave the capital and go to a place where no one knows you."
"Thank you, madam." Wei Shu said.
…
"Why are you back today?" Lu Chuyao looked at his son.
Lu Lin said, "Can't I come over to stay with you?"
"I'm not old enough to need this, am I?"
"Indeed." Lu Lin nodded.
Every time I chatted with my father, he was the one who got choked up. I didn't know what to say better, so I just chose to shut up and wait for him to finish his venomous remarks.
"So why are you back?" Lu Chuyao asked.
Lu Lin said: "I would like to ask you about the Torrance family. You have dealt with them before, so you should be very clear about it. What kind of character are Count and Lady Torrance like."
"I know." Lu Chuyao said.
"Um?"
Lu Chuyao continued: "But why should I tell you?"
Lu Lin: "..."
The only character who could make him so humiliated was his father.
"Don't you know a lot about the Torrance family? Why are you asking me? I thought you would know it very well." Lu Chuyao smiled, "You should know more about the character of your own investigation than I do, right? Why? Want to ask me?"
"Count Torrance has been out of the public eye for a long time. I don't know who is active in the capital now. I am very curious, so I want to ask what the specific situation is." Lu Lin said. This point cannot be found, so I am very curious, and the clue was lost here.
"The Torrance family is headed by Madam. Their family has fallen into decline in Europe. They are just ordinary earls who can't stand on the stage at all. That's why Madam does this. They are not aristocratic family, they are nouveau riche at best. That one can't stand on the stage. We don’t know whether the count is dead or alive." Lu Chuyao spoke calmly, as if these things had nothing to do with him, and he was just speaking from the perspective of a bystander.
"Mrs. Torrance can actually develop in Europe. Since she is a nouveau riche, there are very few things that cannot be solved with money. Why would she come to the capital?" Lu Lin subconsciously touched his chin and thought.
I always feel that motivation cannot be that simple.
At first, he asked himself to come here on a side trip, and now he comes here in person, and he doesn't hesitate to go against the first district. No matter how you think about it, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary purpose.
"This is something you need to investigate. There's no point in asking me. I don't know anything. Even if I know it, it may not be the true answer. You'd better think carefully about how to get the most truthful answer from the Torrance family. Answer." Lu Chuyao said.
"I know."
Lu Chuyao asked: "Are you very busy recently?"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm just curious. If you've been very busy recently, you don't have to come back. Your mother and I don't really need a filial son. It's much better for you to spend more time with your wife than with us." Lu Chuyao waved his hand. , before he finished speaking, he had already issued an eviction order.
Lu Lin thought of Duan Zhizhi and asked, "I have something, can I tell you?"
"Tell me." Lu Chuyao said, "Looking at you, you must have been hesitating for a long time, right? I want to see what could make you hesitate for so long."
"If the other two of us don't plan to have children, would I be considered unfilial to you and my mother?" Lu Lin asked.
He really asked after probing for a long time. He could tell Duan Zhizhi straightforwardly that he did not want children, but there was no way he could be so calm with his parents.
"You can choose not to have children. This is your business. What objections can your mother and I have? Shouldn't this be your decision?" Lu Chuyao said.
"I'm just afraid that you will think that I..."
"No, don't worry. You are an adult, so there are naturally things you need to decide. We have nothing to say. Besides, we are not unenlightened parents. You can do whatever you want. If your wife If you agree, then there is no big problem." Lu Chuyao looked at Lu Lin and said, "Although you are my son, we will not force you to do anything."
Lu Chuyao rarely said such sensational words.
Because of these words, Lu Lin was stunned. He thought that his father would be less polite to him like before, but he didn't expect that he would tell him his attitude towards this matter so carefully.
"What's wrong?" Lu Chuyao asked.
Lu Lin said, "I just didn't expect you to say that."
"Then what should I say?" Lu Chuyao smiled lazily, looking at Lu Lin just like he did before, and said, "Even if you are my son, I can't let you do anything, right? You have your own ideas. , isn’t it?”
As a father, the only thing he can do is to let him be good, do what he wants to do, and be relaxed. Don’t think too much about the rest. Lu Lin didn't need to think too much, especially the future.
"I just think this is not good for you and my mother." Lu Lin said. His parents gave birth to him, but he did not think about having children in the future. Instead, he thought about the two-person world with Duan Zhizhi. .
"If I said that having you was just an accident, would you feel much better? Everyone has their own life. If you two parties have no feelings, then there is nothing else to say, just feel free to do it."
Lu Lin: "..."
It was the first time he heard this kind of comfort, and he thought it was good.
How interesting.
"Lin, when you grow up, you can make decisions for yourself most of the time. You don't need to think too much, and you don't need to think about me and your mother." They are not the kind of family that has to take care of each other's life. As long as they are good to each other, then Just the best.
"I know, Dad." Lu Lin said.
The two of them rarely talked to each other, and they never thought that this would be the case. Should he say it or not, he was actually a little moved, because his father's words narrowed the distance between the two.
"Are you feeling more comfortable now? Since you feel more comfortable, don't bother me anymore. Can you go? I've asked you what you want to ask and done everything you want to do. Is there anything else?" Lu Chuyao asked again. Eviction orders have begun.
Sure enough, I was moved for only a second.
The relationship between the two of them should still be like this.
"I have nothing more to ask." Lu Lin said.
Lu Chuyao: "Wait for me to see you off, right?"
"No, please sit down, I'll leave first."
"Okay." Lu Chuyao nodded.
Lu Lin left here. Every time he came back, he was driven away without sitting for too long. He even had an absurd feeling. Was it his problem or something else? Why do his parents not want him to stay at home and issue an eviction order every time he comes home?
Lu Lin thought that his conversation with his father was not very relaxing, but his father's attitude made him understand that certain things should be like this.
This is how they communicate.
Lu Lin called Duan Zhizhi, but there was no answer.
He put the phone in his pocket and didn't continue.
After arriving at his apartment, Duan Zhizhi's video call came over. He picked up the call and saw Duan Zhizhi's face. She was still wearing costume. She seemed to be taking a break after filming. He asked: "Teacher Duan, is it time to call it a day?"
"Yes, it's time to get off work. When I saw you calling, I immediately woke up. What's wrong? I just finished work." Duan Zhizhi's voice was so grand that Lu Lin wanted to hold her in his arms.
"There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Duan Zhizhi: "Good news."
She used to be an extremely pessimistic person, but since meeting Lu Lin, she has become a very confident person, and bad news doesn't matter. First, consider whether the good news is acceptable to people.
"The good news is that I told my father today that the two of us may not have children," Lu Lin said.
Duan Zhizhi: "Then, what did dad say?"
"I thought he would think I was unfilial, but I didn't expect that he didn't bother to care about my affairs at all. For him, giving birth to me and letting me grow up was the greatest care for me. Other things, He didn't care at all, he said this is my life and I should make the decision myself." Lu Lindao.
Duan Zhizhi was silent for a while and said, "I think what Dad said is right. This is your life, and you should make the decision. But have you really thought it through? Are we sure we don't want children? I'm ready to be a mother."
"Let it be. We shouldn't have too much pressure."
Duan Zhizhi: "Lu Lin, I don't think you need to think too much about me. I also want to do something for you within my ability. If you need me to work harder, I can also work hard. So don't take on anything alone, okay? I also have a sense of participation in this matter. In the end, you told me after you finished this matter."
She was thinking, does Lu Lin not like children?
"I don't really want children." Lu Lin said, "This is the bad news I want to tell you. I don't seem to have the energy to raise a child, so I think it's unfair for him to be born into this world."
He wants to be a DINK.
"It's okay, I respect your opinion. Since you don't want it, then don't. Isn't it good for the two of us to live in a world of two people?" Duan Zhizhi said.
She doesn't have many hypocritical ideas.
This is also good.
There are only the two of them.
"Zhizhi, is my decision a bit selfish for you?" Lu Lin asked. At this moment, he was the only one in the apartment, and it was quiet.
"No. I said, I respect your opinion. In fact, I don't like children that much. It's just because you are the only child of the Lu family that I have this idea. If the family has no objection, we can do whatever we want." Duan Zhizhi's tone was very light, as if this matter was not a problem at all.
"Thank you."
"What is there to thank me for."
Lu Lin: "Thank you for appearing in my life, allowing me to make my own decisions without restraint. That's good."
"Really? Then it would be good to have only the two of us. I also like it, a world with only the two of us. Lu Lin, thank you for giving me so much freedom."
They both thanked each other.
Little did they know that they were each other's salvation.
"Zhizhi, stop saying hypocritical words."
Lu Lin said.
Duan Zhizhi: "What? Will you cry if I say hypocritical words?"
Lu Lin: "I think I shouldn't be that fragile."
"I don't think so either."
