Chapter 21 Spring Equinox

"I'm Lu Yuan, tell me what's on your mind."

Lu Yuan wiped his mouth, stood up, and stared at the man in front of him with a meaningful look.

But Shang Yan didn't respond.

Because his purpose was not to have a direct conversation with Lu Yuan at all.

He wanted to cause trouble at the station.

"Your site has really nurtured a remarkable talent."

Shang Yan continued talking to himself.

In fact, this was a prepared speech he had prepared in advance. From his state of mind upon entering the room to what he was going to say, he had already foreseen it all.

This is a rogue's professional course.

His sarcastic tone clearly indicated a direct escalation of the situation.

In order to make the station manager realize that Lu Yuan's existence is a disgrace to the station.

But no one understood what he meant.

Upon hearing his praise, she immediately echoed, "Brother Lu is capable too."

Upon hearing this, Shang Yan clearly sensed something was amiss.

That's not right.

Shouldn't they be pushing Lu Yuan out to demand an explanation?

Why are you all fawning over this stinky thing?

"He is indeed capable, otherwise, would he have been able to abduct my daughter?" he said sarcastically.

"A perfect couple, Uncle is going to enjoy a life of luxury from now on."

Among so many people, there must be some with high emotional intelligence and good communication skills, especially Su Ming.

Since he couldn't become the station manager through competition, he figured he should just try to curry favor with someone powerful and integrate himself.

If you don't flatter now, when will you?

"I'll enjoy my own happiness!" Shang Yan sneered, then said to Shang Qingya, "Come home with me!"

Only after these words were spoken did everyone belatedly realize that something was wrong.

Wait, it seems like this father-in-law has come to interrogate me!

Everyone fell silent.

If things aren't going well, then shut up and wait for the person in charge to speak.

But when everyone shut up, Shang Yan interpreted it in a completely different way.

Everything went exactly as he expected.

Today's society is one where everyone sweeps the snow from their own doorstep; if everyone were to be harmonious, they could all just put on a show.

If things really escalate, who will bother getting involved?

Shang Yan stood imposingly to one side, then instructed Old Zhao beside him:

"Pretend to be vandalizing things, move the batteries, fidget with the wires or something, but don't actually cause any damage."

"understood."

At this moment, Shang Qingya quickly came over from behind and pushed Shang Yan to stop talking.

So embarrassing.

Especially in situations like this where everyone is gathered together, I just want her to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Dad, let's go quickly."

"Now you realize how shameful you are? Too late!" Shang Yan was still full of momentum, and shouted, "I'll let the whole station know what kind of person Lu Yuan is. If I can't do it in one day, I'll come every day. I'll make him lose his job!"

The person sitting at the table stared at Shang Yan with a strange look in their eyes.

The stationmaster went even further, nudging Lu Yuan's arm and asking bluntly, "Is your father-in-law a little out of his mind?"

"Don't spoil everyone's fun, I'm getting him out of here." Lu Yuan got up to leave.

"You want to resolve this peacefully?" The stationmaster raised an eyebrow.

"Do you think he'll make peace with me?" Lu Yuan pursed his lips.

"If there's no peace, then it's simple." The station chief didn't act immediately, but instead looked at Lu Yuan with a testing gaze: "What do you think we should do?"

"Is the surveillance camera broken?" Lu Yuan pointed to the surveillance camera above, which was still clearly lit up.

"So what if the surveillance cameras are broken?" The old stationmaster crossed his arms, and Lian Shan revealed a sly smile.

"I don't know." Lu Yuan shook his head honestly.

"If the surveillance camera is broken, we need eyewitnesses to reconstruct the truth of the scene. I think they committed a home invasion robbery." The station manager pointed to Old Zhao, who was fiddling with the battery, raised his eyebrows, and said to the people at the table, "What do you all think?"

As someone with high emotional intelligence, Su Ming keenly sensed the site administrator's meaning and decided to make a final confirmation.

"Station admin, does burglary constitute self-defense?"

"Defend the site's assets to the best of your ability."

The stationmaster waved his hand.

The dozen or so burly men at the table instantly stood up and rolled up their sleeves...

"What do you mean?"

This was the last sound Shang Yan uttered.

The last words Lu Yuan heard before leaving came from the stationmaster:

"Finally, here's a gift for you. Whether your father-in-law fails in his robbery or comes in to wish the newlyweds a long and happy marriage is entirely up to you."

The stationmaster stood at the door, smiling and waving.

...

The moon hangs high in the sky.

The electric vehicle was driven by Shang Qingya, and she didn't make a sound the whole time.

Only a faint sobbing could be heard.

"To be honest, from a danger perspective, it's not necessarily more dangerous to ride while crying or to drive under the influence of alcohol."

"sorry."

"I really should apologize for my life safety."

"I was talking about my father," Shang Qingya said softly, her voice choked with sobs as it drifted away on the wind.

"Didn't you all righteously cut ties? Why are you still calling me Dad!" Lu Yuan's cheerful voice came from behind.

Although Lu Yuan didn't blame her.

But Shang Qingya still couldn't let go of this matter.

She knew how much Lu Yuan loved his job, and she knew that everything Lu Yuan did was for today.

This is a chance for promotion!

If her father ruins her life, then Shang Qingya will truly become a sinner.

Although it didn't turn out the worst, she...

"Are you complaining about the unfairness of fate?" Lu Yuan casually pointed out her inner thoughts.

Then he immediately signaled for her to pull over.

They got out of the car side by side and sat under a street lamp by the roadside.

"I don't understand why this is happening."

She buried her head between her legs, her slender waist bent like a sharp knife, her frail body trembling with the shadows of the light.

When she no longer needed to look where she was going, her tears finally welled up and flowed.

In that short period of time, she experienced so much.

She has always been quite strong, although strong isn't necessarily a good adjective.

After all, her resilience was her survival strategy. From a young age, she was used to facing all sorts of big and small things in life, from minor issues like a clogged toilet, water or power outages, and being afraid to walk home alone at night, to major issues like going to the hospital or not being able to pay tuition fees...

Life's troubles require someone to shoulder the burden.

If your parents don't shoulder the burden, then you will be the one to do so.

She used to cry when faced with these troubles, but she would eventually stop crying.

Because crying won't help.

So when her dad wouldn't let her go to school, kept her at home, and confiscated her phone, she didn't cry at all.

Instead, she resolutely severed ties and stepped forward with a do-or-die mentality.

She succeeded, and she thought she had pulled through again, just like before.

But she didn't understand why she was trying so hard to persevere.

Not only did Shang Yan not help, he also jumped in to make things worse.

Why is life so full of troubles?

Shang Qingya's words sounded like she was questioning God, because when people are at their wits' end, they believe most in the existence of a god, so at least they have someone to blame.

"This isn't a problem of life; this is the content of life."

Lu Yuan neither comforted her nor tried to stop her from crying.

People should cry when they're sad, why can't others cry?

This age is for crying. If a person can live to eighty, then twenty is just the beginning of spring.

A spring rain brings warmth, and a tear makes the weather a little warmer.

After you've cried enough, the lush summer will arrive.

"I'm not crying anymore."

"If you don't cry, the crops won't grow tall."

"What crops?"

"fine."

Lu Yuan shook his head, indicating that he would leave once he was done crying.

He needs to go home and sleep so he can go to work tomorrow.
