Chapter 220 The target of the mission forced the host to love 22
When he suddenly saw this familiar face, Chu Linyan was distracted for a rare moment.
But the other person looked up to meet his gaze and spoke first.
"I'm not saying anything, Chu Xiaoyan, look at what you look like now. What's going on? Did you steal last night?"
As the man spoke, a faint smile appeared on his face, and there was a clear hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Chu Linyan was speechless and couldn't help but glare at him.
He ignored the other party's teasing and sat next to Lu Huaiyuan.
Chu Linyan: "Brother Yuan, good morning."
"Yeah." Lu Huaiyuan nodded: "Let's have breakfast first."
After he finished speaking, he saw that the person beside him looked a little listless, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "What's wrong? You don't look well, but did you not get enough rest last night?"
Chu Linyan smiled shyly: "No."
"I just woke up this morning and haven't reacted yet."
Hearing this, Lu Huaiyuan withdrew his gaze and said nothing more. It was unclear whether he believed it or not.
Chu Linyan wasn't sure what he meant, but he didn't plan to say anything else.
However, seeing the two of them talking as if they were not the only one around caused dissatisfaction among the people sitting nearby.
"Chu Xiaoyan, why are you so partial to one and unfair to the other?"
He curled his lips and said, "I'm such a grown man sitting here, can't you see?"
"Or are you unwilling to even say hello to me now?"
Hearing this, Chu Linyan glanced at him and said with a forced smile, "Lu Zeyuan, are you childish?"
He felt speechless and rolled his eyes silently.
The person sitting opposite him was Lu Zeyuan, who had not returned home for a long time.
The other party is Lu Huaiyuan's biological brother from the same father and mother, and also the so-called male protagonist.
Last night, 2237 briefly explained the content of the novel to Chu Linyan.
Although he was very skeptical about the original plot described by the system, he still felt a little awkward facing Lu Huaiyuan and Lu Zeyuan suddenly in the early morning.
When he thought about what 2237 said, that Lu Zeyuan would like him in the plot, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
How should I put it? Given his current status, he feels awkward and embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Chu Linyan glanced sideways and secretly glanced at Lu Huaiyuan out of the corner of his eye.
The other party ignored the two people who had just spoken, and just ate breakfast very elegantly.
There was the same gentle look between his eyebrows and eyes over the years, just like when we first met.
Although Chu Linyan's surname is Chu, he has been living in the Lu family since he was nine years old and grew up with Lu Huaiyuan.
The Haicheng Lu family can be said to be a wealthy family among wealthy families, and it is an existence that ordinary people cannot reach in several lifetimes.
In comparison, the Chu family, to which Chu Linyan belongs, has a property that seems so "insignificant".
The Lu family and the Chu family, Lu Huaiyuan and Chu Linyan, are indeed completely different from each other and should not have had any intersection.
But an accident completely changed their fate.
Lu Huaiyuan is the eldest son of the Lu family and grew up with Grandpa Lu.
He is gifted and far surpasses his peers in every aspect.
Lu Huaiyuan has always been regarded as the "other people's" child by others, and is also a true child of destiny.
However, although the Lu family is wealthy and powerful, it is inevitable that they will make enemies and be targeted by others.
When Lu Huaiyuan was thirteen years old, he was kidnapped.
The kidnappers originally just wanted money, but unexpectedly they happened to encounter something happening at the Lu family.
There was a problem with Lu's capital chain, and his family was busy and overwhelmed.
But after all, Lu Huaiyuan is not the only child in the Lu family, and they can't just watch the Lu family go bankrupt.
So after weighing the pros and cons, the family simply called the police and left everything to them.
In fact, this is equivalent to them strategically giving up Lu Huaiyuan.
-----------------
The Lu family was unwilling to pay the ransom and chose to leave everything to fate, leaving Lu Huaiyuan to fend for himself.
However, Mr. Lu, the only person who really cared about Lu Huaiyuan, was rushed to the hospital due to a heart attack after the incident.
Mr. Lu fell into a coma and was in a situation where he could not protect himself, so naturally he could not take care of Lu Huaiyuan who was kidnapped.
So at that time, everyone in the Lu family had tacitly accepted the result of abandoning Lu Huaiyuan.
The police on the other side searched for a long time but found nothing.
Just when everyone thought that Lu Huaiyuan was in great danger, he came back alone.
Although the kidnappers did not get the ransom, Lu Huaiyuan was able to return safely in the end.
No one knows what happened to him during the three months he was kidnapped.
No one knew how he, a thirteen-year-old boy, escaped.
However, during the time Lu Huaiyuan was kidnapped, he only had some minor scratches on his body and was completely fine.
This situation inevitably made everyone feel very confused.
But the group of people who kidnapped him have never been caught, even to this day.
No one knew the inside story, and after Lu Huaiyuan came back, he had some mental problems.
He became cold, quiet, and had a tendency towards violence and cruelty.
Whenever he looked at people, he always revealed a terrifying expression.
Although the Lu family had abandoned Lu Huaiyuan before, now that he has returned, they naturally cannot sit idly by.
They sent the person to the hospital, and the doctor's examination results said that he had a stress disorder caused by being kidnapped.
The Lu family did not expect this result, but they had no choice but to keep the patient in the hospital for treatment.
Lu Huaiyuan stayed in the hospital for more than half a year.
During this period, the Lu family hired specialized doctors who also used a variety of treatments.
Drug treatment, psychological intervention, etc., but unfortunately, they have little effect, and there is even a trend of getting worse.
Faced with this situation, they really had no choice.
After all, Lu Huaiyuan was both vicious and cruel, and he treated them like dogs, let alone any treatment.
The Lu family didn't say anything about this.
But that attitude clearly showed that he had given up on Lu Huaiyuan as the heir.
On the other hand, after waking up, Mr. Lu learned about Lu Huaiyuan's experience and couldn't help but feel sorry for his grandson.
So the old man took the initiative and brought Lu Huaiyuan back home.
But Lu Huaiyuan's parents were afraid that he would hurt Lu Zeyuan, so they were unwilling to live with him.
They originally wanted to find a random property to accommodate the person, but Mr. Lu felt sorry for his grandson, so he ignored other people's obstruction and resolutely took the person in.
The old man insisted, and the Lu family didn't say much, but they were secretly displeased with Lu Huaiyuan.
After Lu Huaiyuan returned home, the situation did not improve.
What's worse, he also has a habit of locking himself in the house.
Mr. Lu saw everything, but he could do nothing about it.
However, because so many unexpected events happened during that period, the old man asked someone to tell his fortune.
At that time, the master said that the evil spirit in Lu Huaiyuan was too heavy to be completely resolved, and someone had to suppress it.
For the sake of his grandson's safety, Mr. Lu naturally followed the master's advice and prepared to arrange a marriage for Lu Huaiyuan.
But after a few rounds of discussion, the fate of the family was finally decided.
The horoscope of the son of the Chu family just matched the one calculated by the master.
Although Mr. Lu was skeptical about this, for Lu Huaiyuan's sake, he still sent someone to the Chu family to discuss the matter.
The Chu family was originally a "small family", so when they suddenly had the opportunity to get close to the Lu family, they naturally agreed.
Although there were some twists and turns later, the Lu family only cared about the results and did not care about the trivial matters within the Chu family.
So in the end, due to a written agreement, Chu Linyan and Lu Huaiyuan got engaged.
Mr. Lu originally held the attitude of "try everything possible", but no one expected that since Chu Linyan came to the Lu family, Lu Huaiyuan really recovered miraculously.
After shedding his gloomy and fierce look, he turned back into his original gentle and modest gentleman.
Mr. Lu was extremely happy about this.
Even Chu Linyan was regarded by him as the lucky star of the Lu family, and he really wanted to worship him.
Because of this reason, Chu Linyan's status in the Lu family seems to be on the verge of surpassing Lu Huaiyuan.
When Chu Linyan came to the Lu family, he was only nine years old, and over the years, the old man and Lu Huaiyuan treated him sincerely.
What's more, despite the engagement, they still respected Chu Linyan's wishes and had no intention of forcing him.
Lu Huaiyuan also said that if Chu Linyan really found someone he liked in the future, he could cancel the engagement.
After more than ten years of getting along, Mr. Lu started to treat Chu Linyan as his own grandson.
Although he remembered what the master had said, if he forced the two children together without their consent, he was afraid that they would end up becoming a couple of enemies.
Therefore, they have always taken a natural approach to the matter of marriage.
So, this is why Chu Linyan always felt that the plot described by 2237 was deceiving him.
However, precisely because of this, he is now somewhat undecided about these matters.
But when he thought of what 2237 said, about Lu Huaiyuan's favorability of 91, he was still a little concerned.
Thinking of this, Chu Linyan slightly side-glanced, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on Lu Huaiyuan.
As if noticing his gaze, Lu Huaiyuan raised his eyes and looked at the person beside him.
"Ayan, what are you thinking about?"
He glanced at the breakfast in front of Chu Linyan, smiled gently, and asked, "But these foods are not to your liking?"
Chu Linyan shook his head: "No."
"I was just thinking about something, so I was a little distracted."
As he spoke, he looked up and gave Lu Huaiyuan a bright smile: "However, I still want to thank Brother Yuan for his concern."
While the two were talking, Lu Huaiyuan's eyes were always on Chu Linyan's face.
At this moment, he was distracted for a moment.
However, before he could say anything, he heard Lu Zeyuan's dissatisfied voice from the other side.
"Hey, you two, I'm a grown man sitting here, can you two stop ignoring me like this?"
Lu Zeyuan: "We're all eating at the same table, why are you treating us differently?"
"You guys are embarrassing me, okay."
Before the other two people at the table could react after he finished speaking, they saw Lu Zeyuan's gaze fall on Chu Linyan.
He changed the subject and said, "And you, Chu Xiaoyan."
Lu Zeyuan gritted his teeth and said with a forced smile, "You said you called him brother, but why haven't you called me brother in all these years?"
"After all, we grew up together! Chu Xiaoyan, don't be so hypocritical."
.........
Lu Zeyuan looked at the two people in front of him and started to attack them.
In response, Chu Linyan rolled his eyes silently, lowered his head and continued to eat his breakfast, with no intention of paying attention to him.
After all, after all these years of getting along, he thought he knew Lu Zeyuan's personality quite well.
This guy is talkative and erratic. Not only is he like a fool, but he is also very good at climbing up the ladder.
If he dared to respond now, the other party would talk to him about this topic for the whole morning.
When Chu Linyan thought of this scene, he couldn't help but tremble his body.
Unlike his silence, Lu Huaiyuan, who was standing beside him, raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Zeyuan after hearing those words.
"Didn't you go traveling abroad with your friends? Why are you back?"
He spoke slowly, changing the subject.
Lu Zeyuan: "Then in a few days, isn't it Big Brother's birthday?"
He paused for a moment and emphasized, "I gave up my travel plans, left behind all my friends, and rushed back to celebrate your birthday."
"If you ask me, you should be happy to have a brother like me."
As he said this, Lu Zeyuan looked at the person in front of him with a smile, his eyes sparkling, like a big puppy asking for praise.
Hearing him say this, Lu Huaiyuan nodded in agreement.
He curled his lips and smiled, saying, "Well, you're right."
"But I think that since I have a brother as amazing, smart, and thoughtful as you, I should be able to be 'happy openly'."
Lu Zeyuan: “…”
I suspect you are playing dirty tricks on me, but I have no evidence.
Thinking of this, he curled his lips and made a sad expression.
"Brother, you have changed."
He said, sighing helplessly, "Don't you like me anymore? Am I no longer your most important brother?"
Lu Huaiyuan put his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and said, "It has never been like that."
When Lu Zeyuan heard this, the smile on his face paused for a moment.
But he always knew his elder brother's temperament, so he just regarded Lu Huaiyuan's words as a joke between them.
But when Lu Zeyuan looked at the person in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but turn slightly.
He sighed softly, pretending to be hurt.
Lu Zeyuan: "Ah..."
"Brother, what you said is really sad!"
Lu Huaiyuan: "Are you sad?"
He raised his eyes slightly and said slowly: "If you could just put away that smile on your face, I might actually believe it."
