A man trying to seduce the police captain: Captain Lu, you're doomed!

Just then, Lu Chenyuan's phone rang, and the words "Xu Yue" appeared on the screen.

He picked it up casually, and Xu Yue's usual lively and boisterous voice immediately came through the receiver, which even Su Wan next to him could vaguely hear.

"Brother, everyone's here! We've been waiting for you!"

"I was worried my sister-in-law would get bored by herself, so I let them bring all the female companions they could, and male companions they could too. The place is really lively right now!"

"Have you finished eating? Come over here as soon as you're done!"

Lu Chenyuan responded calmly, his tone steady.

"Just finished eating, let's set off now."

"I'll send you the location. Same place as always, Genting Club."

"Call me as soon as you arrive, and I'll meet you at the entrance."

"it is good."

Lu Chenyuan hung up the phone, turned to look at Shen Wanyu, and lowered his voice.

"Mom, we're going out now."

Shen Wanyu stood up with a smile, her eyes full of indulgence.

"Okay, be careful on the road and take good care of Wanwan."

She secretly decided that she wouldn't rush to give the red envelope now, but would wait until the family was sitting together peacefully the next morning before formally handing it to Su Wan, which would seem more solemn and like a family gathering.

To be honest, she and Lao Lu were indeed more indulgent towards their second son than towards their eldest son.

Back then, he was unwilling to take over the family business and unwilling to enter the business world, but they didn't force him.

He insisted on becoming a policeman, willing to work on the front lines in the wind and sun, and they let him have his way.

As long as he is safe, happy, and feels it's worthwhile, his family will always be his support.

Although Lao Lu always puts the burden of family responsibility and the future on his shoulders, and constantly reminds him of these things.

But it was just a pretense of concern that he might go astray; there was no real intention to restrain him.

Only this silly boy has been putting pressure on himself day after day for ten years.

He believed everything his father said was true.

I feel like I'm carrying a heavy responsibility.

But in reality, if Lao Lu really intended to do that, he wouldn't have let him go to Seoul to live a free life.

The so-called "work hard, there will be other arrangements after you come back from Jin" is just a way to fool this silly boy into being diligent.

This child has been honest and incredibly naive since he was little.

The eldest brother is more astute.

Now he's willing to choose any girl he likes, regardless of her background or family connections. As long as Lu Chenyuan truly likes her, it's not a big deal to them.

The Lu family has reached a point where it no longer needs to rely on marriage alliances to solidify its position or to curry favor with anyone.

Unlike some families that appear glamorous on the surface but are empty inside, they still have to rely on their children's weddings to maintain appearances.

Over the years, Lao Lu has also diligently cultivated many of the clan's younger members.

His relatives, cousins, close friends, and distant relatives were all successful and capable of handling things on their own.

Especially that guy named Lu Yuanfeng, he's quite good.

If the younger generation can stand firm, then the elders naturally have nothing to worry about.

Moreover, Shen Wanyu could see clearly that her usually aloof and reserved youngest son really liked Su Wan.

When he was with Su Wan, the light in his eyes never went out, and the smile on his lips was something he couldn't fake.

He is even much more amiable and patient with his family than before.

She only hoped that the two of them could live peacefully and happily ever after.

But then, her thoughts suddenly turned to her eldest son.

The smile on her face faded little by little, and a stone quietly weighed on her heart.

She paused unconsciously as she went upstairs, glancing towards the living room—where Shu Yue, who had left early after dinner, was now sitting alone on the sofa, lost in thought.

She had tried to communicate with this eldest daughter-in-law, but Shu Yue's heart was like a thick wall separating her from the Lu family. She appeared gentle and polite, and treated everyone with courtesy, but she had never truly opened her heart.

Even though she and Lu Chenzhou already have a child, there's no sign of much passionate affection between them.

Sometimes Shen Wanyu couldn't help but wonder if it was a mistake from the very beginning to have her eldest son go on blind dates and find someone of equal social standing.

They weren't after the Shu family's wealth back then; they just felt that with similar family backgrounds and upbringing, they would have more in common and their lives would be more stable.

But as it stands now, that's not the case at all.

The problem lies half with Lu Chenzhou and half with Shu Yue; no one can say for sure.

Especially recently.

After Lu Chenzhou returned to the army, his whereabouts became increasingly elusive. He was often unable to reach Lu by phone, and even when his youngest son brought his girlfriend home, he, as the eldest brother, could not get in touch with him. He was nowhere to be found.

Shen Wanyu's unease grew stronger and stronger, making her feel suffocated in her chest.

No, after Lao Lu finishes his chess game with Lao Li next door, she insists that Lao Lu make a phone call to his old leader in the army.

Find out exactly what mission Lu Chenzhou is carrying out, or if something else has happened.

With a heavy heart, she sighed softly and went upstairs step by step.

Shu Yue was the only one left in the living room.

The warm yellow light fell on her, but it couldn't penetrate the chill in her heart.

She sat blankly on the sofa, her mind replaying the phone call from her family a few days ago.

The Shu family members spoke sharply, telling her directly: Lu Chenzhou has cheated on her.

There was no deliberate attempt to hide it; many people in the industry already knew about it.

Her family scolded her for not being able to keep her man, for being useless, and for disgracing the Shu family.

He also said that if it really came to the point of divorce, she was not allowed to be weak and had to fight for the greatest benefit for the Shu family.

They told her not to be soft-hearted towards Lu Chenzhou, saying that a man who cheats should be severely punished.

Not only that, but they also forced her to take leave from work and find an excuse to send the child back to her parents' home.

As leverage in a future divorce.

Shu Yue felt waves of sharp pain in her chest.

She loves Lu Chenzhou.

But this love was never pure from the beginning.

From childhood to adulthood, she lived in her younger sister's shadow, harboring a deep-seated ambition to be more outstanding than her sister and to be valued more highly by her parents.

After marrying Lu Chenzhou, the Shu family's attitude towards her changed completely, and she finally became the most respected child in the family.

But no one knew that on the night of their blind date, she took advantage of Lu Chenzhou's drunkenness, took the initiative to approach him, and got into his bed naked.

She said nothing, did nothing, but just happened to appear when he was young and impulsive, and his mind was clouded.

Half of it was because she fell in love with him at first sight.

She wanted another partner because she didn't want to be outdone by her younger sister anymore; she wanted a marriage that would allow her to hold her head high.

Over the years, she has been silent, docile, and rarely caused trouble. To outsiders, she appears dignified and proper, a qualified eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family.

Only she herself knows how much darkness, resentment, and unspeakable thoughts are hidden in her heart.

Her marriage was never perfect, but she was prepared to make do for the rest of her life.

Why did Xia Ran have to appear out of nowhere?

She had someone investigate that girl.

He had nothing, came from a small mountain village, had no background or family connections, and only a good-looking appearance.

This is the kind of person who stole her outstanding and brilliant husband, a military commander.

Shu Yue clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She won't get a divorce.

So what if Lu Chenzhou is with that girl?

As long as she doesn't give up, the position of Mrs. Lu will always be hers.

It was at this moment that she first felt a strong sense of rebellion against the Shu family's arrangements.

Her family only wanted her to maximize the interests of the Shu family, so they advised her to get a divorce, ask for more compensation and more resources, and even asked her to pull strings and ask for a government position for her brother-in-law who worked in the Department of Agriculture.

How ridiculous.

She bit her lip, her body trembling slightly.

If from this moment on, she could let go of all her scheming and calculations, be honest with Lu Chenzhou about everything, and genuinely want to rekindle their relationship and rebuild their feelings...

Is it too late?

Lu Chenzhou is not a bad person at heart; he is a responsible and good man.

He was just temporarily blinded by greed.

As long as she lowers her stance, goes to great lengths to win him back, and begs for his return.

He will definitely soften his heart and break things off completely with that woman.

Will.

Shu Yue took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes.

She stood up, didn't greet anyone, and quietly went back to her room to change into some inconspicuous clothes.

He grabbed his bag and car keys, quietly left the mansion, and drove away into the night.
