Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It had to be admitted that the scene of two beautiful women openly declaring war on each other on the stage was a visual feast.
The people below were all drawn to the spectacle.
Regardless of the ultimate truth, they could witness such a big commotion in the circle, especially about Master Si’s gossip. This trip was worth it!
For them, Lu Si had always been an unattainable figure. Now, he was about to be brought down from the pedestal by two women. Those watching eagerly awaited the spectacle.
At this moment, in the Lu family residence.
Lu Ting sat in the center of the sofa, keeping a firm gaze on Lu Si across from him.
“Today, you stay at home. Let your brother handle the company’s affairs!” Lu Si said sternly.
“Grandfather, 1 have a reason that compels me to go out today.” Lu Si twirled the ring on his finger, showing a hint of impatience between his eyebrows.
Considering the timing, Mei Shu’s coming-of-age ceremony had already begun.
If he didn’t show up soon, Shu’er would definitely be angry.
Hearing his words, Lu Ting’s nostrils flared, and he grumbled, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Tell me, what’s going on between you and that girl from the Mei family?”
Lu Si furrowed his brows, stopped twirling the ring, and emitted a cold aura. “Grandfather, you already know?”
Lu Ting’s face tightened, and he smashed a teacup with one hand while leaning on his cane. “Damn it! How can you compete with your own nephew for a woman?! If this matter gets out, where should we, the Lu family, put our face?” “Lu Yan is just acquainted with Shu’er. He has no qualifications to compete with me.” Lu Si said, glancing upstairs as he spoke.
Lu Ting was so angry that he exclaimed several “good” in a row and then pointed at Lu Si fiercely. “1 specifically asked Lu Li’s wife before coming here. She said that the little girl had some interest in Lu Yan before. The two grew up together, but Lu Li’s wife didn’t like her. She used some means to prevent them from confirming their relationship. Lu Yan is still in a cold war with his mother for this girl, but you directly made her your girlfriend!”
In the face of the old man’s reprimands, Lu Si said calmly, “Grandfather, Lu Yan and Mei Shu have no chance at all.”
“She also has no chance with you! I absolutely won’t allow such a woman, who has ruined the peace of our family before even marrying you, to become my granddaughter-in-law !” The old man was so angry that he took a few deep breaths.
Jiang He quickly came over to help pat his back, soothing him, “Grandfather, don’t be too anxious. You haven’t seen Miss Mei yet. It’s not good to make conclusions directly. In fact, Miss Mei is a very good person, and she and our Master Si are very well-matched!”
“It must be this useless thing meddling from the side so that the two of them have come this far!” Lu Ting said as he was about to lift his cane to hit Jiang He.
The solid wooden stick was about to hit Jiang He’s head, but he didn’t even dodge. Instead, he seemed to want to take this blow directly to let the old man vent his anger.
“Grandfather!”
At the last second before Jiang He was about to be injured, Lu Si raised his hand to grab the end of the cane. “This has nothing to do with Jiang He. Let him go outside. I want to talk to you alone.”
“Let him go out, so you can inform that little enchantress?!” Lu Ting angrily snatched back the cane and spat harshly. “Don’t think I don’t know what you two are up to. I’m telling you, with me here today, you won’t have a chance to contact that woman!”
“Grandfather.” Lu Si’s complexion also darkened. “If you don’t allow me to contact Mei Shu, then may I ask who gave you the information about me and Mei Shu?”
Lu Ting snorted, making it clear that he was going to lay the matter on the table.
Lu Si, as if knowing the answer, looked at the old man with a grim expression. “Was it Shen Yuan?”
Lu Ting immediately became anxious. “Yuanyuan is a good girl. You previously fooled me into believing you were engaged to her, and now you’re getting involved with that person surnamed Mei. Are you being fair to her?”
“I knew it was she who did this.” Lu Si understood the situation. In a flat tone, he continued, “She wants you to keep me at home so that she can do something to Mei Shu at the scene, right?”
Lu Ting’s eyes widened, and his momentum weakened a bit. “Are you questioning me? 1 tell you, Yuanyuan hasn’t told me anything! She has suffered so much injustice but hasn’t come to complain to me about you. But look at you, since you came to the capital, have you lost all respect for me, your elder?”
“I dare not.” Lu Si lowered his head, appearing obedient and willing to accept the reprimand.
Lu Ting’s anger dissipated somewhat, and his tone was not as harsh as before. “That’s right. You need to understand, everything I do is for your own good. Your illness has not been completely cured yet. 1 could let you come to the capital for recuperation, and 1 could also bring you back to the capital now. You, this child, have been ambitious since childhood. Now, you haven’t completely obtained what you want, so you’re really willing to give up everything for a woman?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Si suddenly raised his head to look at the old man across from him. A long silence lingered between the two..
