Jiang Yining did indeed have such thoughts when she invited him to the beach.
She wanted Lu Zhi to reconcile with his mother.
This way, Shen Man would open up completely and tell her more about Lu Beicheng.
However...
More than anything else, she wanted to open Lu Zhi's heart so that he no longer held any resentment.
Jiang Yining knew better than anyone how tiring it was to live with resentment.
Lu Zhi looked at her without blinking and said, "Jiang Yining, the matter between my mother and me is not as simple as you say. You don't know the inside story, so don't interfere in my matters with her."
Today, at the old mansion, he did not embarrass his mother because of her.
But that was all.
It was impossible for him to reconcile with his mother in this lifetime.
