Shen Lingshuang knew her husband best—she could tell that he liked this daughter-in-law quite a bit. Even though he was always on Yang Sitong’s side and was always polite to her, she could tell that he clearly did not have much of a wish for Lu Yanchen to marry Yang Sitong.

However, she was curious as to what was in that information folder her son had given her hubby back then such that he spoke nothing more of the marriage agreement with the Yangs after reading it.

After Shi Guang and Lu Yanchen headed upstairs, she smiled at Chief Lu. “I heard that you said something about never ever letting her into our family when I wasn’t around?”

“I don’t wish for her to enter the family either. But, if I don’t allow it, your son would definitely go and marry into HER family,” Chief Lu snorted coldly. Toward this smelly brat that he had raised, how could he not tell what that lad was thinking?

Shen Lingshuang was clear about her son’s personality as well. Not only was he not weak, but he was also extremely stubborn, and would never ever escape from any troubles he were to come to face with. If Chief Lu had been absolutely adamant about refusing Shi Guang into the family, her Yanchen would definitely sever all ties with them and marry into her family.

And of course, something as vulgar as that was not his final objective—it was only a method.

This youngest son of hers was the only one who would dare to oppose the great Chief Lu in the family openly.

...

Lu Yanchen brought Shi Guang and returned to the bedroom. Before they even sat down, the maid came knocking to inform them that Chief Lu was waiting for Lu Yanchen in the study. Unsurprised by it, he asked Shi Guang to sleep first if she was tired before heading out.

In the quiet study...

Chief Lu sat upright behind the table with a stern expression. “Why are you unwilling to return?”

Even though he had agreed for Lu Yanchen to switch careers, Father Lu was still a little uncomfortable about it in his heart and wanted to clarify things with his son.

Lu Yanchen said with a dark face, “Being a general would not make you outstanding either. Look at First, he’s so alike you and yet he would never surpass you. Neither of us would become someone who could stand over everything like you...”

Chief Lu’s face was filled with irritation as he cut Lu Yanchen in his words, “Enough, enough! Don’t come here and suck up to your old man here. At the very least, that lass can claim that she was telling the truth. But you? You’re clearly lying to Your Father here!”

“You want to hear the truth?”

“Does Your Father look like he’s crapping with you?”

Lu Yanchen went silent for a moment. “Chief Lu, I suppose you should know how fearless of death I was in the military for the past two years. The more dangerous a mission was, the higher the stakes and more likely one would die, the more I insisted on doing them. That was the reason why I managed to catch up with First in just two years. But, do you know the reason why?”

It was also precisely because of how he had managed to catch up with First in just the span of two years that Chief Lu would insist on his son returning to the military.

When he knew that his son would opt for the most dangerous missions during his time in the military, he was rather worried as well. However, at that time, he merely thought that his son was trying hard to prove himself and tell the rest of the world that his strength was all on him, and not that famous father of his.

Chief Lu asked coldly, “Why?”

Lu Yanchen replied in a serious tone still, “That’s because when I was together with her in the past, by chance, she read ‘A Farewell Letter For My Wife’ with me. After that, she insisted that I promise her to die after her no matter what. She said that the pains and sufferings were always left for those that were alive.”

‘A Farewell Letter For My Wife’ was written by Lin Juemin, one of the 72 brave revolutionaries of the Yellow Flower Post for his wife Chen Yiying. It was a text that was so heart wrenching that it would induce one’s tears after reading.

Chief Lu could not believe his ears at all.

So, the reason why that son of his was so reckless back then was all out of spite to take revenge on that lass!

He barked out, “So now, in order to fulfill that single promise, you’re afraid that you might die young!”
