Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Lu Ruiming’s Matter
Chapter 213 -213 Lu Ruiming’s Matter
Lu Jianguo held Lu Ruisheng in his arms and couldn’t stop crying.
Gu Pan was really worried that Lu Jianguo’s body wouldn’t be able to take it. She hurried forward to comfort him, “Dad, if you keep getting this agitated, I’ll have to call the doctor.”
Since her husband had changed his tone, she had to follow suit.
Lu Jianguo struggled to control his emotions, “I won’t cry, I won’t get excited, no need to call a doctor, I’m fine.”
Gu Pan quickly poured a cup of warm water, “Dad, drink some water.”
Water aids in metabolism. When people are agitated, they tend to get thirsty. Drinking water can help calm someone down quickly and make them feel comfortable.
Lu Jianguo drank half a cup of water, and after a while, his emotions gradually settled. Holding Lu Ruisheng’s hand, he asked him to sit beside him, “I’m sorry, dad is sorry for you.”
Lu Ruisheng shook his head, “You can’t blame yourself; you shouldn’t feel so guilty.”
Lu Jianguo said, “No, it’s really my fault. If I hadn’t let you go to grandfather’s house… Your Second Uncle and I always believed it wasn’t an accident. Your Second Uncle is still investigating around them, trying to find some clue about you.”
Lu Ruisheng had a good impression of his Second Uncle, “How is Second Uncle’s family doing?” because he heard from Lu Jianguo that Lu Ruiming was the only grandson of the old man. Did the Second Uncle have any children?
Lu Jianguo sighed, “Your Second Uncle’s family doesn’t have children, so after all these years, he has been unable to let go of your disappearance. When you were little, your Second Uncle was even more attentive than an old nanny; he wasn’t married back then and spent every day in our house. I even joked that he was ruining the relationship between your mother and me.”
Lu Jianguo couldn’t help but laugh as he talked about this; his brother really was a funny person.
Gu Pan didn’t know whether Second Uncle was infertile or something else; these weren’t questions she could ask, but she also wondered – Lu Ruisheng had disappeared, was there someone who didn’t want Second Uncle’s family to have children?

At that moment, Lu Jianguo spoke, “Your Second Aunt had a car accident when she was pregnant. They lost the child, and she was left unable to conceive. But their marriage is strong; they are doing quite well.”
Gu Pan couldn’t help but ask, “Such a coincidence?”
“It’s not a coincidence. We found that the driver had taken bribes, but he was in the late stages of cancer and committed suicide. There’s definitely something fishy, and we even think that the old lady did it, but she’s clever, covering her tracks well so we really can’t prosecute her. So your Second Uncle and I decided to set up a trap for the old lady’s biological son, Lu Jiancheng. We caused him problems at work, forcing him to move to a city far from Beijing, making the old lady upset as well. Unexpectedly, not long after moving to the new city, Lu Jiancheng had an accident and died by falling. Of course, we didn’t lay a finger; it truly was an accident.” Lu Jianguo, fearing the children might get scared, quickly added, “You guys rest assured, Second Uncle and I abide by the law.”
At this point, Gu Pan was genuinely shocked. Before, she thought her father-in-law and Second Uncle were being victimized by their stepmother, unable to resist. She had never imagined they were so ruthless, but she liked it; not seeking revenge when wronged is absurd.
But their struggle wasn’t just ordinary family intrigue – were they really out to destroy? Did the grandfather not know or did he just enjoy the thrill?
Lu Ruisheng reassured Lu Jianguo, “Dad, don’t worry, Panpan and I can protect ourselves, and if anything happens, we will definitely help you and Second Uncle.”
Lu Jianguo nodded happily, “Good, good, but Dad only hopes you guys are safe and doesn’t want you to risk yourselves. Oh, the base can send telegrams; I have to share this good news with Second Uncle.”
Lu Ruisheng said, “Do it once you’ve fully recovered.”
Lu Jianguo agreed, “Yes, once I’m discharged, I’ll have to kick that mother and son out first. We agreed they would stay a few days until they found an apartment, but then the acid rain came, and I’ve been so busy. If it weren’t for you guys bringing back the Breeding Eggs, I wouldn’t even have had time to get sick, so I really didn’t make time to expel them.”
He paused, then continued, “The initial reason I went to receive them was because the old man was pushing me to death, refusing to eat, and was hospitalized. He sent me telegrams daily, threatening that if I didn’t get them, he would die. I know his character; he could really pull off such a stunt, and I didn’t want to bear the responsibility of causing my father’s death. Of course, that wasn’t the main reason; I thought they might know something about your disappearance, so I wanted to see if we could get some clues through them. Without Lu Jiancheng, they should be easier to break.”
Lu Jianguo urgently explained all of this, needing to make everything clear to his son so there wouldn’t be any misunderstandings. Heaven had helped him find his son again, and he couldn’t afford to let his son misunderstand him – his son was his treasure, his own flesh and blood.
Gu Pan’s previous misgivings had vanished. Initially, she had wondered if Lu Jianguo harbored any affection towards them by letting them stay at home, but evidently, there was none. Everything seemed easier now.
Lu Ruisheng had now fully accepted Lu Jianguo. If Lu Jianguo felt any compassionate concern for that mother and son, he wouldn’t mind reverting to calling him Base Chief Lu. But as it stood, continuing to call him “dad” seemed appropriate.
Everything was clear now, no more misunderstandings. Both Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng felt relieved.
Gu Pan said to Lu Jianguo, “We live close by, Dad. If you ever feel like having something, just come over to our house.”
Lu Jianguo laughed in agreement, “Good, good. Panpan’s cooking is excellent. It’s been so long since I had such delicious food. I’m truly fortunate.”
After speaking, Lu Jianguo took out a bankbook from his wallet and handed it to Gu Pan. “Panpan, just buy whatever you need.” Since he was alone, all his assets were in his wallet.
Gu Pan quickly pushed it back, “We’re not short of money.”
Lu Jianguo insisted on giving it to Gu Pan. “I don’t care whether you’re short of money or not, but from now on, Dad’s belongings are for both of you.”
Lu Ruisheng spoke to Gu Pan, “Just accept what Dad is offering.”
Gu Pan thought about it and realized it made sense, as she could buy more items from the Space than at the base. Anything needed, she could just personally deliver to Lu Jianguo, which would be even better than buying.
This time, Lu Jianguo was delighted. “You two have such foresight, discuss it with me too. I feel like I, the Base Chief, don’t have as visionary an outlook as you do.”
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng sat down and shared some of their thoughts and predictions for the future with Lu Jianguo. Honestly, Gu Pan could only foresee up to three years into the apocalypse, beyond that she had no knowledge, but still had more ideas than most.
They continued talking until late into the afternoon, around 3 PM. Gu Pan checked the time and said to Lu Jianguo, “Dad, let Ruisheng stay here and keep you company; I’ll go back and cook.”
Lu Jianguo replied, “No need to stay, no need, both of you go back together. Just bring me some dinner later.”
Gu Pan said, “It’s alright, it’s not far. Have a good talk between father and son, I’ll come back after making dinner.”
After all, they needed to allow them some private space. Now that they had started calling him “dad,” the relationship was different, with new things to discuss.
Lu Ruisheng felt he had spent less time with his wife that day, so he suggested, “Or maybe I could walk you back.”
Lu Jianguo looked at his son with a smile, “You both go back together. I need to sleep for a bit; I’m really tired today. Just bring me some tasty food tonight.”
Honestly, Lu Jianguo was genuinely tired, given today’s draining events.
Lu Ruisheng also felt Lu Jianguo truly needed rest, so he asked, “What would you like to eat? We’ll cook it when we get back.”
Lu Jianguo replied, “Whatever you cook, I’ll love. I’m not picky.”
Gu Pan smiled, “Okay, then we’ll make a few different dishes when we get back.”
Lu Jianguo agreed and waved them off, “Go on, go on.”
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng filled Lu Jianguo’s water glass, grabbed the food containers, and left together.
