Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Zheng’s first wife, Sun Wei, was from a prestigious family like the Lu Family. However, her health had never been good, and she had never had a child. Lu Zheng quickly lost interest in her and never settled down outside. Sun Wei’s accumulation of sadness turned into illness and she died before she was 30 years old.
Although Old Master Lu blamed Lu Zheng and brought him to apologize to the Sun Family, Sun Wei was weak to begin with. The Sun Family could not make things too difficult for Lu Zheng, but their relationship with the Lu Family gradually became distant.
The second year after Sun Wei died, Lu Zheng brought Meng Shu back to the Lu Family. Although Old Master was dissatisfied, Meng Shu was already pregnant with Lu Zheng’s biological child, a pair of twins.
Even if Old Master was unwilling, he would not go against the Lu Family’s bloodline. Meng Shu naturally married into the Lu Family.
However, Lu Ming had never liked this sister-in-law who obviously had impure motives. The entire Lu Family was a little dissatisfied with Meng Shu because of Lu Ming’s attitude.
Meng Shu’s life was a little better after the Lu Family split up, but she did not dare to offend Lu Ming. She even wanted her sister to marry Lu Ming. After all, the Lu Family’s business was still in Lu Ming’s hands.
Lu Ming ignored Meng Shu and glanced coldly at Meng Wan and Lu Zheng before walking to Old Master Lu’s side.
“Grandpa, why did you ask me to come back?”
Old Master Lu was originally happy to see Lu Ming, but he was still a little angry when he heard Lu Ming’s words. “Why? Can’t I call you back for nothing?”
“Grandpa, I’m usually very busy with work.” Lu Ming was a little helpless. Ever since his grandfather got older, he had become much more willful.
“Busy?” Old Master Lu slammed the teacup on the table and reprimanded Lu Ming, “What are you busy with? You raised a woman in Shenglin Bay and let her bully Little Wan? That child’s face has been swollen for more than half a month. You actually let your family suffer so much for that shady girl. Lu Ming, I think you’re crazy!”
Hearing Old Master’s words, Lu Ming looked at Meng Wan coldly. This woman was really like her sister, willing to stir up trouble.
Meng Wan trembled under Lu Ming’s gaze. She held her sister’s arm tightly, wishing she could hide.
“Who are you scaring?” The Old Master noticed Lu Ming’s gaze and was even angrier at him. “I’ve never seen you have any feelings for women. What kind of cunning girl can make you like this?”
Lu Ming took a deep breath and tried to look calm. After all, he was his grandfather. It was impossible for Lu Ming to argue with him.
“Grandpa, first of all, there’s no shady woman beside me. Moreover, Meng Wan has nothing to do with our Lu Family. If you insist on standing up for her, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.”
Although Lu Ming’s tone was calm, no one present dared to refute him. Even the Old Master did not dare to really fall out with Lu Ming.
He was unwilling to go home now. If he fell out with him, with Lu Ming’s personality, no one would be able to persuade him.
When Meng Wan heard Lu Ming’s words, her face turned pale. Meng Shu felt very uncomfortable. She knew that in Lu Ming’s heart, not to mention Meng Wan, even she was not considered a member of the Lu Family.
Lu Ming had always cared for Lu Yan, but he never cared about Lu Yue and Lu Xiao. Meng Shu felt aggrieved, but she could not do anything to Lu Ming.
“Ah Ming, sit down quickly. It’s rare for us to be home. It’s rare for our family to be together. Don’t hurt the harmony.”
Lu Zheng stood up to smooth things over, but Lu Ming had no intention of accepting it.
“Where’s Second Brother? Why don’t I see him return?” Lu Ming and Lu Jin had a better relationship, but he knew that Lu Zheng had been secretly dealing with Lu Jin. He could not find anything on his eldest brother, so it was not easy for him to resolve it. He could only provide some help to Second Brother in private.
When Old Master heard Lu Ming’s words, he snorted. “Second Brother is useless. He surrounds that crazy girl Ren Xue every day and doesn’t care about his career. I think he doesn’t care about me at all.”
When Lu Ming heard Old Master’s words, he understood that Lu Zheng did not play a good role in this.
“Grandpa, with your words, Second Brother won’t dare to come back even if he wants to.”
Lu Ming knew that Old Master had never liked Ren Xue. Back then, Second Brother had quarreled with his family for a long time for Ren Xue and almost cut ties with them. It was Lu Jin’s mother who was soft-hearted and could not bear to see her son suffer, so she tacitly allowed Ren Xue to enter the family..
