"Is it really that someone relentlessly held on without letting go? I think you are the one being unreasonable! Lin Xia went through so much pain to have the child; what’s wrong with Xiaozheng taking good care of her?"

When Lu Guangqi said this and saw that Fang Youlan still had that unsatisfied yet dare-not-speak-up demeanor, he truly felt exhausted, as if he were preaching to deaf ears.

Finally, he coldly warned, "Fang Youlan, if you still want your great-grandsons and great-granddaughters to recognize you in the future, you’d better correct your attitude and adjust your mindset;

otherwise, the day they disown you, I won’t be able to help you..."

Fang Youlan stared fixedly at Lu Guangqi’s receding back as he leaned on his cane, feeling both hatred and anger in her heart.

Now this old man had completely changed his temperament, always speaking favorably about Lin Xia and her family, no longer the person he used to be...

Lu Pengcheng found some time later to visit his father’s house.

He wanted to inform them about the matter of naming the children, to avoid futile efforts at the end.

When he arrived, the nanny opened the door for him. His mother, Fang Youlan, was sitting on the living room sofa watching television.

As Lu Pengcheng was changing his shoes, he asked, "Where’s dad?"

Fang Youlan replied irritably, "Snoring like a pig!" Seeing her eldest son only intensified her annoyance, "You still remember we exist! You don’t look like you just got back, do you?"

Lu Pengcheng didn’t want to argue with her. The old lady was getting senile with age, and if she wanted to prick at him a bit, so be it; it’s not like he would lose a piece of flesh.

"I’ve been back for two days! Lin Xia’s family came over, and I just managed to find time to visit you!"

Fang Youlan curled her lips, "Those relatives from the poor mountainous area? Lu Zheng and your father-in-law taking care of the reception is enough, why do you need to be involved?"

Lu Pengcheng frowned, "Mom! What’s gotten into you, old lady? Can you not speak kindly? They are my in-laws; how can I not be involved in welcoming them?"

"What do you mean by not speaking kindly? Even if you are retired, you are not the same as them!"

"Enough! Just stop talking!" Lu Pengcheng got so angry that he didn’t even stay in the living room but went straight to the room to find Lu Guangqi.

Lu Guangqi had been staying up late these past few days, trying to come up with names for the children, often forgetting to sleep.

He was utterly exhausted and had fallen asleep, but he woke up when he heard his eldest son talking in the house.

As Lu Pengcheng pushed the door open, he saw his father sitting on the bed, rubbing his face as if he had just awoken and wasn’t fully alert, "Dad! You’re awake? I hope I didn’t wake you up?"

"No! I’m awake! Eldest! When did you get back? Did you see the two kids!" The mention of those two treasures brought a kindly smile to Lu Guangqi’s lips.

"I saw them right after I got back! Lin Xia’s family arrived, so I finally got a chance to come and see!"

Father and son sat on the bed, one sitting, one standing by the side, and began to chat.

As Lu Pengcheng spoke endlessly about the children, his brows lit up with joy. He summoned his courage several times but couldn’t open his mouth to say it.

Lu Guangqi leaned over, took a stack of papers from the bedside table, and said with a cheerful smile, "Eldest! You came at just the right time!

I’ve been losing sleep over naming the kids! Look at these names I’ve come up with; which one sounds good, easy on the tongue?"

Lu Pengcheng felt particularly sorry for his father’s painstaking efforts, but given the situation, he could only reluctantly speak up, "Dad! About the children’s names, you don’t need to trouble yourself anymore! Xiaozheng and his wife have asked my father-in-law to name the children!"

Lu Guangqi’s eyes widened in surprise, his voice raising a few notches, "What? You let your father-in-law name the children?"

He had never imagined such a thing would happen.

"Yes! I only found out after I got back, my father-in-law..." Lu Pengcheng understood why his son and daughter-in-law wanted Shao Chengzhi to name the children.

Lu Guangqi immediately realized the essence of the situation.

Shao Chengzhi had always been especially good to Lu Zheng and him, even being the first to agree and support when the two were dating.

Even during their breakup, it was Shao Chengzhi who did a lot of work to help them reconcile."

And looking at their own family, Fang Youlan had done so many disheartening things that Xiaozheng and his wife must have definitely felt completely disheartened.

He laughed mockingly at himself, "Fine, whoever named it! It’s all the Lu surname anyway!"

Lu Pengcheng watched as his father’s bright eyes dimmed, and he too felt a deep pang of sadness.

At that moment, Fang Youlan rushed in from outside, yelling sharply at Lu Pengcheng, "How can that be okay? Why should descendants of the Lu Family have their names chosen by someone surnamed Shao?"

She had been eavesdropping at the door for a while. When she heard that the child’s name wasn’t being chosen by their own family but by Shao Chengzhi, she was absolutely furious.

Lu Guangqi found an outlet for his wrath in an instant and pointed at Fang Youlan, yelling, "You ask why? Isn’t it because you, this damned old hag, always do unforgivable things?"

Fang Youlan immediately concluded that the whole affair was orchestrated by Lin Xia from behind the scenes!

Otherwise, her grandson would never do such a thing!

"I was the one behind it; why shouldn’t you name him? I’m sure this was all Lin Xia’s idea, feeling that we aren’t as capable as Shao Chengzhi, sucking up and causing trouble!"

"Mom! What kind of things are you saying!" Lu Pengcheng had asked Shao Meirou, and he said that all this was initiated by his son.

Fang Youlan spoke without filter, "I’m speaking nothing but the harsh truth! If Lin Xia dares to manipulate Lu Zheng behind the scenes to pull off something like this, who says we can’t talk about it!"

"You’re totally unreasonable!" Lu Pengcheng turned and walked away, realizing there was no reasoning with his mother!

"You stop right there! Lu Pengcheng! How can you speak to your mom like that?" Fang Youlan made as if to chase after Lu Pengcheng.

Lu Guangqi was really enraged; he moved to the side of the bed, and hopping on one leg, he went at Fang Youlan.

When Fang Youlan sensed the danger, it was already too late to run; her short hair was grabbed from behind by Lu Guangqi, and she was directly pushed to the ground.

"Ah!" Fang Youlan screamed in fright.

Lu Guangqi gave her a fierce slap on the face.

Lu Pengcheng, hearing the commotion, rushed in and was utterly shocked by the scene before him!

This was the first time in his life he had seen his father hit his mother.

The last time his mother was hit, he didn’t witness it and only heard about it from his sister, Lu Shuhui.

"Dad! Calm down..."

Lu Guangqi’s forehead throbbed with protruding veins, his whole face red as if blood-filled, as he hit someone frantically.

Lu Pengcheng held him from behind, struggling to pull him up from the ground.

Fang Youlan, regardless of the pain on her face and body, got up from the ground and shouting at Lu Guangqi held firmly by Lu Pengcheng, "You old fool! You’re addicted to hitting me! I refuse to stay with you any longer!

Eldest son! I want to go live with your family! I can’t stay here anymore!"

Lu Guangqi fiercely struggled and cursed, "If you can’t stand it, then just leave!" He’d had enough!

Fang Youlan turned to Lu Pengcheng and said, "Eldest son! Did you hear that? He told me to leave! You better take me to your family’s house right away!"

Lu Pengcheng was still living at his father-in-law’s place, his daughter-in-law was still in confinement, and her family was also there; how could he dare to take Fang Youlan back with him?

That would be like dropping water into boiling oil, causing relentless and unbearable chaos!

"I can’t take you! Mom, why don’t you call Pengfei’s wife or Shuhui instead!"

Fang Youlan was so angry she almost spat blood, thinking this is the good son she raised!

At the crucial moment, he wouldn’t even let her enter his door...
