After severing ties, the cold-blooded family regretted it

Chapter 57 Emotional Value!
"Actually, you can't blame mom for doting on her. You've all seen how distraught she was when Gu Chi got lost." Lu Ning said in a light voice.

"If Gu Chi hadn't been lost, he would be the one being favored right now. Maybe this is fate."

At the beginning, Zhao Rui almost lost half her life because of Gu Chi getting lost.

Until the adopted son Lu Tianci was brought back, unlike Gu Chi who grew up in love, Lu Tianci was more sensitive and fragile than Gu Chi.

At that time, he was more like Gu Chi after he came back.

He would stick to Zhao Rui all day long, and when he saw her crying, Lu Tianci would wipe her tears with his little hands.

It's so pink and looks like a little baby.

Having such a person around quickly helped Zhao Rui get out of the haze and cheer up again.

Lu Ning whispered, "She poured all the love she lacked for Gu Chi into Lu Tianci, and Lu Tianci also used his favor for her in return."

Her voice was soft, with a hint of sadness that was hard to conceal.

"Perhaps it is for this reason that Mom feels a strong sense of guilt and compensation towards Lu Tianci."

Zhao Rui always kept Lu Tianci by her side and never let him leave her side.

She was afraid of losing him and afraid that something might happen to him.

She didn't dare to imagine what she would do if something happened to Lu Tianci.
So, she always kept him by her side, and she would give him whatever he wanted, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Lu Liu sighed softly, "After what you said, I really remember that it is indeed the case. I can probably understand why I prefer Tianci."

"Mom... has a strong desire to make up for him. This kind of compensation makes her become..."

"It's a bit twisted. She doesn't think it's wrong. She just thinks it's natural and must be given to Lu Tianci."

When Lu Meng said this, her tone was very light and indifferent, as if she was talking about someone else.

However, when she said this, her eyes were already red.

Lu Meng wanted to improve the relationship between the Lu family and Gu Chi, but now she felt like she was standing in the middle of the scale.

On one side is his biological brother, and on the other side is the younger brother who has grown up with him.

Lu Tianci was in the room, lowering his head and not daring to look at Zhao Rui.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Rui felt distressed: "What's wrong?"

Lu Tianci raised his head slowly: "Mom, do my sisters think I'm in the way because of Brother Gu Chi?"

"Perhaps in their eyes, only Brother Gu Chi is your biological son, their biological brother, and I am just an orphan that no one wants."

"I can go, but I really can't bear to leave you, Mom."

As Lu Tianci said this, he actually burst into tears, which made Zhao Rui feel even more distressed.

He hugged Lu Tianci and said, "How could that be! How could I possibly think like that? My son is so outstanding."

Lu Tianci sobbed, "Mom, I just want to ask, am I really that much of a hindrance? I...I want to leave here. If I continue to stay, it will only embarrass you."

"I want to leave and go to a place where no one knows me, then study hard and make a lot of money in the future to repay you."

Lu Tianci's words made Zhao Rui feel mixed emotions.

"Don't go! Mom won't let you leave." Zhao Rui hugged Lu Tianci tightly and said crying.

Lu Tianci: "But..."

Zhao Rui interrupted him directly: "Don't say but! Tianci, Mom knows what you want to say."

"You are my son. I will not let them hurt you, even if it costs my life."

After hearing these words, Lu Tianci threw himself into Zhao Rui's arms, but a meaningful smile appeared on his lips. "Woof woof..." Two dog barks were heard outside the door, and at the same time, there was the sound of a dog scratching the door.

"What happened to Kaka? Get up quickly and take a look." Zhao Rui wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and Lu Tianci helped her up.

Lu Meng and the others also came out of the room, looked at Lu Tianci and asked softly: "Tianci, what happened to Kaka?"

Although Kaka used to make noises, he never scratched the door with his claws or destroyed the house.

"I don't know. I'll go upstairs and check." Lu Tianci walked upstairs following the voice.

The further they walked, the louder Kaka's whimpering became. Lu Tianci was very familiar with this sound. He must have found something.

They followed the sound to the door of Gu Chi's room. Kaka was scratching the door with his claws, and several deep scratches appeared on the white solid wooden door.

While grabbing, his nose was still sniffing through the crack in the door below.

Aunt Wu also heard the sound and trotted over.

"Aunt Wu, open the door." Zhao Rui spoke with a gloomy face.

Aunt Wu finally reacted and quickly took out the key to open the door.

Kaka immediately rushed out and kept shouting towards the single bed beside the bed.

Aunt Wu lowered her head and looked under the bed. There was only a little dust and nothing else.

"Madam, there is nothing in here." Aunt Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Impossible, Kaka can't go crazy for no reason." Lu Tianci said anxiously.

Kaka is a relatively well-trained dog. He was originally raised to protect Lu Tianci.

It has been sent to pet school since it was young, so it is usually very well-behaved and smart.

As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. The dog, which is usually so well-behaved, suddenly went crazy. It must have discovered something.

"Auntie Wu, please check carefully, otherwise Kaka would not have barged in for no reason." Zhao Rui spoke.

Aunt Wu naturally did not dare to be negligent. Fortunately, there was a large gap under the single bed, so Aunt Wu put her hand into the gap.

He kept rubbing on the bed, and suddenly, he seemed to touch something with his hand. He applied a little force and with a "hiss", he tore something off.

After taking it out, it turned out to be a small glass bottle.

There is also some light gray powder in it, which looks almost like dust.

"Woof woof" Kaka saw the bottle in Aunt Wu's hand and barked at her twice.

"Auntie Wu, let me see that bottle." Zhao Rui took the bottle and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Aunt Wu put the small glass bottle in Zhao Rui's hand. Zhao Rui turned it over and saw a small label on it that said "palladium".

Zhao Rui was startled and her hands began to tremble, and she almost threw the bottle out.

His face was terribly pale.

The three girls came over to see what it was, and when they saw it, their faces changed instantly.

"How, how could it be?"

Lu Tianci took the small transparent bottle and murmured in disbelief: "Why is this thing here?"

Then he turned to look at Zhao Rui: "Mom, even though this thing is in Brother Gu Chi's room, it may have been put there by someone to frame him. Please don't think too much about it."
