Chapter 123: Regret Not Grinding Them into Mincemeat

Du Yang slowly opened the door, with Grandma Lu and the family driver standing at the entrance.

Du Yang's hair was a messy bird's nest, wearing a crumpled home outfit with dark brown bloodstains scattered across it, his face pale and eyes sunken, radiating a sense of deathly stillness.

Grandma Lu stared at Du Yang, speechless, tears instantly welling up in her eyes, rapidly gathering and streaming down her cheeks.

"Child," Grandma Lu's voice trembled, full of sorrow and pain, "Grandma came too late."

Du Yang hadn't expected Grandma Lu to find this place, and being seen by her in this state made him feel both embarrassed and heartbroken, hanging his head low, not daring to look at her.

"I'm sorry, Grandma Lu," Du Yang murmured softly.

Grandma Lu wiped her tears, took Du Yang's hand, now so skinny it was all bones, and stroked it with affection.

"Grandma was sick for a while and only learned about your situation a couple of days ago. It took a few more days to find you—Grandma came too late."

"Let my Yangyang suffer so much," Grandma Lu said, unable to stop the tears.

Du Yang looked bewildered, opened his mouth, and finally said, "Grandma Lu, you don't have to do this. We've only just..."

Lu Yang stood behind Du Yang, gazing at Grandma with tender eyes. "In the previous life, Grandma saw me less than five times and still knew I was Lu Yang."

"When you were little, Grandma always kept you by her side, even taking you to the company," Fu Yan embraced the youth from behind. "A child you raised yourself, you'd recognize them even when they grow up."

"Just like I temporarily forgot Yangyang, but meeting you again, I fell in love," Fu Yan gently kissed the corner of the youth's eye.

Back then, Lu Yang had come directly to the company building to find him. After the first refusal, he couldn't stop thinking about Lu Yang all afternoon.

With his status, countless people tried all sorts of ways to get close to him, but only Lu Yang gave him a special feeling.

When he returned to the company in the afternoon and saw Lu Yang still there, he felt a hidden joy.

At the time, he thought it was just sympathy that made him keep the person, not realizing his intuition had already made the choice for him, keeping him close.

Seeing the messy room with an unpleasant smell, Grandma Lu's heart ached so much that tears never stopped.

While Du Yang went to shower and change, she made a call and had a housekeeper come to clean up.

Du Yang showered, put on clean clothes, and looked more normal, with a hint of color returning to his face.

By then, the housekeeper also arrived.

"Come, Grandma will take you to eat something, then we'll go to the hospital for a check-up," Grandma Lu couldn't bear to see Du Yang this thin.

Because of Lu Yu and Lu Jin'an, Du Yang refused, "Grandma Lu, it's better not to. I'll come back after I eat."

Du Yang wanted to refuse again, but after hesitating, he agreed and followed Grandma Lu out.

Lu Yang watched Grandma supporting Du Yang's arm, feeling a pang of guilt.

"At this time, Grandma didn't know that Lu Yu was behind everything, or that Big Brother had told me to stay away from Grandma."

"At this moment, my feelings toward Grandma are complicated—because she's Lu Yu and Lu Jin'an's grandma, I should hate her, stay away from her."

"But maybe the blood tie is too strong; I couldn't hate Grandma at all in my heart, and in the end, I couldn't bear to refuse her. Grandma said she was taking me for a check-up, but she also took my blood sample for a paternity test."

Fu Yan gently rubbed the top of the youth's head and pulled him into his arms.

Grandma Lu said she came too late, but wasn't he the same? It was Grandma Lu who found Du Yang first.

Not long after Du Yang and Grandma Lu left, another Fu Yan arrived.

Seeing the room so chaotic that it looked uninhabited, the other Fu Yan, with red-rimmed eyes, asked the housekeeper, "Does Du Yang live here?"

The housekeeper opened the door and sized up Fu Yan—suit and leather shoes, a small black armband on his wrist, exhaustion unable to hide the innate elegance.

Fu Yan rarely visited the Lu family, and the housekeeper hadn't seen him before; she was only there to clean and didn't know Du Yang.

"I don't know. A handsome guy lives here, but I'm not sure if he's the person you're looking for."

Fu Yan gripped the doorframe tightly and pressed, "Where did he go?"

The housekeeper shook her head, saying she didn't know.

Fu Yan had added Du Yang on WeChat but got no reply, and his phone was off.

Unable to find him, he waited outside until the housekeeper finished cleaning and locked up, but no one returned.

So Fu Yan sat outside and waited.

Lu Yang and Fu Yan sat next to that other Fu Yan, accompanying him as he waited for Du Yang.

Fu Yan looked at the exhausted version of himself. "I finished Grandpa's funeral and came back half a month later. After I returned and learned about your troubles, I dealt with your negative online information while searching for you."

Fu Yan gave a bitter smile, his calm eyes showing a sense of helplessness. "In the previous life, if I had just been forceful and taken you from the start, we wouldn't have always been one step behind."

Lu Yang didn't argue. In the previous life, he and Fu Yan were always one step late. By the time he returned from seeing Grandma, it was completely dark, and Fu Yan had already left.

By the time he came back and remembered to charge his phone, it was already midnight.

Fu Yan used the identity F, and after they got in touch, they planned to meet the next day.

On the way to meet F, Grandma called him over. He told F to wait and went to the Lu family.

Then the fire broke out, and he never got to see Fu Yan.

"Brother, I'm so sad, wuwuwu..." Lu Yang couldn't help feeling bitter about all the missed opportunities. "I don't want to stay here anymore. Let's leave, okay?"

Fu Yan held him lovingly and whispered soothingly, "We won't go anywhere. We'll just wait quietly here until the incense burns out. Then we'll wake up."

No sooner had he spoken than they found themselves in a hospital.

Lu Yang looked at Fu Yan in shock, blinking his tearful eyes, clutching Fu Yan's clothes tightly, afraid to be separated from him.

"We're not really trapped here forever, are we?"

Fu Yan looked around; this was a hospital under the Fu family. He wasn't sure how they ended up here.

Even now, Fu Yan firmly believed they would return.

He gave Lu Yang a reassuring look. "Don't be afraid, Yangyang. We'll definitely go back. Trust Grandpa."

Just then, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind: "Look, isn't that that little bastard Du Yang?"

It was Du Debao's voice. Lu Yang's body instinctively tensed. They both turned around and saw Du Debao and Qin Yue hiding furtively in a corner, looking in the other direction.

"Why is the old lady with Du Yang?!" Qin Yue's face changed dramatically, staring in disbelief at Du Yang, who was supporting Grandma Lu as they walked.

The old lady must have discovered that Du Yang is Lu Yang.

Qin Yue's fingertips turned white as she clutched the medical report, staring at the distant figures of Du Yang and Grandma Lu with eyes like daggers.

We can't let that bastard Lu Yang ruin our plans! After all this, he still refuses to die!

Du Debao cast a sinister glance at Du Yang, then coaxed Qin Yue, “Yueyue, we can't afford any mistakes now. Let's get rid of that bastard Du Yang together!”

Then Xiao Yu will be the legitimate young master of the Lu family.

Du Debao's crippled hand touched Qin Yue's belly, his eyes were filled with undisguised greed, “Once our youngest son is born, we'll find a way to kill Lu Jin'an, and the Lu family will belong to the four of us!”

Qin Yue was startled at first, then, as if she had made a great decision, she grasped Du Debao's hand, “Do you have a plan?”

Du Debao chuckled darkly, “I actually do have a way! But we'll need our son's help!”

Even though he knew about these things, Lu Yang couldn't suppress the anger in his heart when he heard Qin Yue plotting to harm him again.

This wicked woman was actually pregnant with Du Debao's child in her past life.

Fu Yan looked at the adulterous couple with an even colder gaze, “They deserved to die in their previous life; I regret not grinding them into a pulp.”

Over here, after Du Yang's checkup revealed severe malnutrition, Grandma Lu was heartbroken. She had the doctor prescribe many nutritional supplements and also took Du Yang to buy a lot of nutritious foods.

Just then, Grandma Lu's phone rang. Seeing the caller, she answered. The caller said something, and Grandma Lu suddenly turned pale.
