The carved door of the private room was closed.

The lighting was very good, the large oil paintings hanging on the walls were vivid, and the thick soft carpet cleanly absorbed all the sounds of their footsteps.

When Lu Shi put down his bag and sat across from him, Lu Shaochu adjusted his cuffs. "I've already ordered the kitchen to cook some dishes that you like. Have you been eating properly while being out for so long? You're thin."

Lu Shi raised his eyes to look at him. "Stop playing the tender card, what do you want to say?"

With a 'ke', the teacup was put down. Lu Shaochu started, "For your grandfather's birthday banquet, you must come back. The only grandson isn't there, what would outsiders say if they saw?"

He lowered his voice before continuing, "I know, you're angry that we've lied to you for more than ten years, but feel your conscience and think about it, who doesn't know your mother-"

Seeing Lu Shi's expression turn cold, Lu Shaochu changed his words. "Weiyun has treated you well since you were a child and all while taking care of you, she really raised you as her son. Even if you have no blood relationship, after more than ten years of raising you to this age, no matter what, there ought to be affection."

Lu Shi was noncommittal. "Is that so?"

Lu Shaochu was once proud that Lu Shi was resolute and extremely smart since a young age. He was an excellent candidate for a successor.

Now, he finally felt what it was like for a son to be too stubborn.

"Lu Shi, we'll talk and reason. I, as your father, can understand that you suddenly learned that the mother who has been shouting for more than ten years isn't your birth parent, and the stimulation caused by this, alongside the feeling of being internally unable to calm down in a short period of time, is all something I try to comprehend as much as possible.

"So you saying you were leaving home, not seeing Weiyun or even me, and running to Qingchuan Road to live alone, I also understand and approve. But everything should have a limit, right?"

He assumed a gentle expression. "Your rebellious stage is over and your frame of mind is calm, so it's time to return home. Your grandfather misses you very much and frequently talks about you. Weiyun also mentioned you a few days ago, saying that the temperature has cooled down, and she's wondering if you've caught a cold or fell ill. We're all very worried about you living outside alone."

Lu Shi didn't answer, but instead turned to the paper bag Lu Shaochu was holding. "What's inside?"

"For your moth- a gift for Weiyun."

Lu Shaochu smiled and said, "Would you like to take a look? You've known Weiyun's preferences the most since you were a child, and you've never been mistaken. Can you help Dad appraise it, is this gift bought just fine?"

"Mn."

Hearing Lu Shi's response, Lu Shao said in his heart that sure enough, his son was merely twisted and not bent, the affection between mother and child was still there.

He passed the gift box over.

Lu Shi opened it and saw there was a set of jadeite jewelry with excellent quality.

"The shape of the necklace is incorrect, she'll like the rest."

"You've always understood her preferences best, so Dad is relieved."

Lu Shaochu was intending to ease the relationship between the two so he mentioned, "Weiyun often wears the diamond necklace you gave her before. When attending those tea parties and going to salons, she'd tell everyone she came across that this was a gift you gave her. There must be many people who envy you for your sensibility and filial piety."
