Lu Yichen saw that their objective had been achieved and didn't care whether the Cui family mother and sons stayed or left. Lu Yixuan went upstairs to call his wife and child down, and also brought Lu Yiting with them.
Before leaving, he made sure to remind his sister to take the jewelry box as well. After such an incident, he wasn't confident in leaving their belongings in this house anymore.
Stepmother Geng Mingli entered the Lu family when Lu Yiting was ten, introduced by Luo Ziming, who at that time was especially close to Lu Xinyi.
Luo Ziming persuaded Lu Xinyi to remarry, arguing it was to find someone to take care of Yiting. Later, Luo Ziming introduced Geng Mingli, who was downtrodden at the time with a son and a daughter in tow.
