    Qin Shuang was about to offer some cunning defense, but Lu Qin stopped her, “We were confused at the time. After all, we had raised Siyu for so many years, so we naturally had stronger feelings for her. But hearts are made up of flesh and blood, and Miao is our flesh and blood. How could we have no feelings for her at all?”


    Lu Qin knew his son too well. If he denied their words outright, Lu Yinan would stubbornly hold on until the end, just likest time. It would not only fail to repair the rtionship with Lu Miao but also push Lu Yinan further away. So it was better to admit their mistakes and win him over with sincerity.


    Although Qin Shuang still disliked Lu Miao, she thought about the analysis Lu Qin had given her earlier and how influential Lu Miao had be. She had to agree, “Yes, back then when Lu Miao was taken away by that surname Song to the countryside, we, as her parents, didn’t want that either. It’s just that after more than ten years without seeing her, it’s difficult to feel affection for her all of a sudden. Your father and I have reflected on our actions during this period and realized that we were indeed in the wrong. We feel guilty and sorry for her. ”


    Lu Yinan chuckled, “So, what do you want me to do then?”


    He wanted to see how shameless these two could get.


    Thinking that Lu Yinan was moved by their words, Lu Qin continued with the emotional appeal, “Ah nan, we don’t have any other intentions. We just want to see Miao, apologize to her, have a family dinner together, connect with her,


    and make for  past mistakes Resides. she’s still young and has help


    living at the Gu family’s ce. It’s only been a short while, and she was forced to move out from there. We don’t know how she might be bullied in the future. With us around, if the Gu family dares to bully her, at least she’ll have someone to rely on, and we can stand up for her.”


    “Yes, even if you don’t think for us, you should consider Miao’s future,” Qin Shuang added.


    Lu Yinan casually took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket, lit one, took a deep drag, and listened to their seamless arguments, each sounding better than thest. To an outsider, it would seem like they were genuinely concerned parents.


    With a sneer, Lu Yinan replied without any mercy, “Have you both developed amnesia? Have you forgotten how my hand got injured? Just ten days ago, you wanted to ruin me because I defended Lu Miao. Now you suddenly im to have found your conscience. Do you really expect me to believe that?”


    “What about apologizing and making amends? Isn’t it because you saw Mr. Fu personally sending her on a private ne at the airport yesterday and wanted to use her to befriend the Fu family? I can’t believe you have the audacity to say such things,” he said.


    Lu Qin’s face turned grim, and Qin Shuang interjected, “Ah nan, how could you say such things? We really just want to apologize to her. Besides, we have no connections with the Fu family. Ourpany will still develop well. Without the Lu family backing her up, if she gets bullied at the Gu family, there will be no one to stand up for her. All in all, this is more beneficial for her.”


    Lu Yinan’s smile vanished, and he said coldly, “Not all injuries can be repaired. Miao doesn’t need your shameless and insincere pretenses. With me around, even if I have to risk my life, I will protect her. So, please have some self-respect and stop bothering her. Don’t do anything to her, or don’t me me for turning my back on you.”


    Lu Qin eximed, “Lu Yinan, don’t forget, you are still part of the Lu family!”


    Lu Yinan coldly sneered and raised his injured hand, “I’ve already paid back what I owed. Since that day, I have nothing to do with the Lu family anymore.” With that, he stood up and walked towards the exit.


    Lu Qin, filled with anger, grabbed a ss from the table and hurled it at Lu


    Yinan, “You scoundrel!”


    The ss hit Lu Yinan’s back, but he didn’t even turn around. He simply opened the private room’s door and left.


    The results of the knowledge contest were out, and Lu Miao unsurprisingly ranked first in the country.


    After checking her scores, Su MO numbly closed the webpage showing a perfect score of 300.


    What’s the point of checking? It was just an unnecessary action!


    In the afternoon after school, Lu Miao returned to Lingyue Manor and heard some noise in the kitchen. She immediately rushed in, alert and cautious.


    To her surprise, Lu Yinan had put on an apron and was busy with a wok, skillfully flipping a spat.


    He looked quite professional.


    Lu Miao quickly scanned the kitchen to ensure there was nothing unusual before heaving a sigh of relief.


    “You can cook?” she asked.


    “I can’t,” Lu Yinan replied, tilting his chin to indicate the phone screen ced on the stove.


    There, a video was ying, demonstrating cooking steps.


    No wonder Lu Yinan looked so professional. He was following the instructions of the video blogger, performing each move perfectly.


    She even suspected that he was counting the number of times he wielded the spat.


    A corner of Lu Miao’s lips twitched, “Are you sure it’s edible?”


    “Don’t worry, little sister. I’ll definitely satisfy you tonight,” Lu Yinan reassured her, patting his chest.


    “There’s smoke in the kitchen, and it’s not good for your skin. Go out and I’ll call you when dinner is ready,” he said.


    After observing Lu Yinan for a while and confirming that he wouldn’t cause any kitchen disasters like before, Lu Miao left the kitchen.


    In the living room, she bumped into Gu Jinxi, who had just returned from school.


    However, the person who usually wagged his tail like a puppy seemed somewhat listless today.


    “What’s wrong?” she asked.


    Gu Jinxi struggled for a moment and finally looked up at Lu Miao, asking the question that had been troubling him all day, “Sister-inw, if you see any injured puppy on the road, would you save it?”


    “Probably,” Lu Miao replied casually.


    Half of Gu Jinxi’s heart sank instantly.


    If she would save any injured puppy, then it meant that she would also help any student with poor grades in front of her, just like how she tutored him.


    It turned out that what Lu Yinan said in the morning was true.


    All the kindness Lu Miao showed him was simply because she was kind-hearted.


    She still preferred Lu Yinan.


    Gritting his teeth, Gu Jinxi summoned his courage and asked, “Do you want me to move out?”


    Lu Miao thought he was referring to her being too strict and wanting him to move back to the Gu family, so she asked, “Do you want to return to the Gu family?”


    “No, I don’t,” Gu Jinxi immediately denied, fearing that Lu Miao would ask him to leave.


    “I’ll go upstairs to do my homework.”


    After saying that, he turned around and dashed upstairs.


    Watching his dejected back, Lu Miao touched her nose in confusion. What was going on? The more she cared, the more disheartened Gu Jinxi seemed?


    Just as she was about to follow him upstairs to find out, the doorbell suddenly rang.


    Turning around, Lu Miao walked to the door and opened it, only to be stunned by the person outside..
