"The Yun family is quite something to be treated like this by Lord Lu, it's truly astonishing," Lin Haitao stated directly.
"I heard you've been outside, using Lu Fan's name to swindle quite a few people recently?" Lin Aotian said coldly. "Aren't you afraid of Xiao Fan finding out?"
"I..." Lin Haitao chuckled awkwardly. "I just told them that Lord Lu of Jiangnan is my brother-in-law, but I haven't actually lied!"
"Shut your mouth!" Lin Guoli said sternly. "Who is Lord Lu, that you can compare yourself to him? If there's a next time, I'll break your legs!"
Lin Haitao looked helpless and didn't know how to respond.
Actually, before this, he didn't think much of Lin Ke, and even sent people to deal with her. But now, he could only acknowledge Lin Ke's identity.
"Can I get out of bed now!"
After drinking the medicine, Lin Ke asked.
"Of course not, you've been through a fright and need to rest for a few days. You can't get out of bed casually," Lu Fan said directly. "And you don't need to go to work these few days. Leave the company matters to your dad!"
"How can that be!" Lin Ke said with a wronged expression. "My company still has many contracts to sign. If they are delayed, they might become void."
"Dad will handle these matters," Lu Fan said directly. "Since I'm here in Jiangbei, why don't you accompany me to Chuzhou!"
"To Chuzhou?" Lin Ke was a little surprised. "Why go there?"
"I want to take you to play in Chuzhou," Lu Fan said seriously. "Do you want to go!"
"Is that true? Are you sure you're not lying to me?" Lin Ke's eyes lit up with surprise. "Xiao Fan, you're usually very busy. Why do you have time to accompany me now?"
"Perhaps my conscience has been pricked!" Lu Fan gave a helpless wry smile.
Actually, the main reason for going to Chuzhou this time was to have Lin Ke meet Yang Shiwen. After all, he was her mother's elder brother, and the most basic courtesy had to be observed.
Moreover, he had left without saying goodbye this time. He didn't know if Yang Shiwen would mind, which made Lu Fan a little worried.
Outside the gates of Jiangdong City, the members of the Yun family gradually departed, their eyes filled with reluctance. This was where their Yun family had grown up, and now they had to leave their homeland. Their hearts were filled with a sense of melancholy.
Yun Yiyi held the portrait, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts, accompanied by a trace of anger. If it weren't for Yun Bei's reckless actions, the Yun family wouldn't be in such a predicament. Now, being forced to leave their homeland, their situation was even more tragic.
Among the Yun family, those with strong martial arts skills had already left. What remained were only the old, the weak, women, and children, which made him feel deeply saddened.
"Yiyi!"
Li Qing stood at the city gate, looking at Yun Yiyi. "Are you alright?"
"Senior Brother, why are you here?" Yun Yiyi frowned. "Did Lord Lu send you! Do you want to exterminate the Yun family?"
"Lord Lu is definitely not that kind of person!" Li Qing said directly. "I'm here this time just to see you, after all, the deceased are gone!"
"I didn't even get to see my father for the last time, and you're here feigning sympathy," Yun Yiyi said coldly. "Lord Lu of Jiangnan will always be an enemy of my Yun family. You stand with the enemy, so why comfort me!"
"Lord Lu is definitely not what you think. If the Yun family hadn't gone too far, Lord Lu would never have taken action," Li Qing said directly. "I just hope you understand that hatred will only lead you into trouble. I hope you can move on soon!"
Yun Yiyi did not reply, leading the Yun family members away. Her sole goal in this life was to reach the Grandmaster realm and become a powerful being. Only then could she seek revenge on Lu Fan.
She knew that this matter was not Lu Fan's fault, but the murder of her father was an irreconcilable hatred. As a daughter, she would not leave any room for mercy.
A few days later, Lu Fan arrived in Chuzhou with Lin Ke, looking travel-worn. Han Yunhai also followed behind.
As soon as they arrived at Jiangjing Bieyuan, Gu Wen hurried out. "Master, you're finally back!"
"What, are you worried about me?" Lu Fan chuckled and walked inside.
"Lord Lu of Jiangnan killing the Yun family head has caused quite a stir," Gu Wen said with a smile. "Even my Gu family is blaming me for not informing them of this matter, otherwise they would have definitely lent you a hand!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, not paying much attention.
"My lord, you're back!"
Lin Xiaojia walked out of the room. Upon seeing Lu Fan, her eyes showed relief. She had been worried these past few days, and Lu Fan's safe return had relieved her heart.
"Who is he?" Lin Ke asked in surprise.
"I am Lord Lu's servant," Lin Xiaojia said quickly. "Miss Lin, please don't misunderstand."
Lin Xiaojia knew very well that Lu Fan already had a family and that Lu Fan and Lin Ke were already married.
"Cough cough... Gu Wen, why are you still standing there?" Han Yunhai shot him a glance. "Hurry up and take the luggage inside!"
Gu Wen received the signal, nodded quickly, and carried the luggage towards the room.
After putting down the luggage, Lu Fan took Lin Ke to the room. Lin Ke said indignantly, "I really didn't expect you to keep a mistress in Chuzhou!"
"It's a huge misunderstanding!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "I am extremely devoted to my Xiao Ke. How could I keep a mistress? Her grandmother died tragically and she was pursued by countless experts. Her background is quite pitiful. If I didn't step in to save her, she probably wouldn't have survived!"
"Is that true?" Lin Ke asked in surprise. "Is she really that pitiful?"
"She is from a tribe in the Ten Thousand Mountains. Unfortunately, she is the only one left from her tribe, and other tribesmen are pursuing her," Lu Fan said directly. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken her in."
Lin Ke nodded solemnly. She felt a touch of sympathy for Lin Xiaojia's background.
"By the way, aren't you here in Chuzhou to find your relatives?" Lin Ke suddenly asked. "You've been here for so long, and you still haven't found any news about them?"
"I've already found my second uncle. He's in Chuzhou Apartment," Lu Fan said directly. "I'll take you there tomorrow!"
"Is it appropriate for me to meet your second uncle like this?" Lin Ke said awkwardly. "Should I buy some clothes?"
"I think it's best not to!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "I think this outfit of yours is quite nice. Wear this tomorrow!"
Lin Ke nodded slightly. Although she was a little apprehensive, she was, after all, someone who had seen the world. Her heart gradually calmed down.
When night fell, Lin Ke had already fallen asleep. Lu Fan, however, couldn't sleep and went to the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Lin Xiaojia was sitting in a daze, lost in thought.
"Thinking about your tribe again?" Lu Fan walked over.
"Brother Lu!" Lin Xiaojia shook her head. "I just want to go out and forge my own path. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay by Brother Lu's side in the future!"
"Go out and forge your own path?" Lu Fan frowned. "With your strength, if people from the Arctic tribe discover you, how will you cope!"
