Chapter 224: Chapter 224: The Whole Family Deals with the Worthless Dad Together
The person currently waiting at the Lu Family’s home is Fu Chen.
When Lu Sheng fell off the horse, Fu Chen was not far away. He subconsciously wanted to have a look, but pride prevented him from doing so.
After all, he had just sent flowers and gifts to Lu Sheng in the classroom that very morning.
As a result, not only did Lu Sheng have him remove all the flowers because they were in the way, but she also threw the necklace he had carefully chosen into the trash can in front of the whole class.
She didn’t leave him any dignity.
Even though he later tried to save face by saying that he was just thanking her on behalf of his grandfather, numerous commenters on the forum said that the young master of the Fu Family had been publicly rejected and had lost face.
Public rejection and humiliation??
Fu Chen was furious when he saw those mocking comments.
It’s always been girls running after him, fawning over him, yet it’s this Lu Sheng who hasn’t given him the time of day since their first meeting, and now she’s made him lose all face.
However, after returning to the classroom from the horse field, Fu Chen suddenly had a realization.
His previous cold treatment towards Lu Sheng, and the sudden gifting of flowers and presents, would naturally make Lu Sheng resist and refuse to accept them.
But isn’t that just the way it is when chasing girls?
Caring and protecting on an emotional level, pampering them every day, and on a material level, as long as you’re willing to spend, you can buy anything they want; few girls can resist that.
Even more so for girls who grew up in the countryside, who have never seen the bright lights and luxuries of a big city, they’re even easier to win over.
And he’s so handsome, the sole heir of the Fu Family; if she ends up with him, she’ll be the young madam of the Fu Family.
He doesn’t believe that if he changes and is willing to patiently pursue her, Lu Sheng will continue being so cold. Once he gets her and Lu Sheng falls for him, wouldn’t everything be up to his whims?
If he’s still interested, he’ll date her; if not, he’ll just dump her, regardless of whether she’s heartbroken or not, making her pay for today’s behavior.
Thinking this way, Fu Chen quickly came to his senses.
Then, thinking of Lu Sheng’s injury, he saw it as an excellent opportunity to show kindness and care to touch Lu Sheng’s heart. So he immediately inquired about which hospital Lu Youming had taken Lu Sheng to.
But he didn’t have contact numbers for Lu Sheng and Lu Youming, only for Lu Chengye.
Back when he was dating Lu Qianrou, Lu Chengye was quite supportive.
Every time Lu Chengye saw him he was extremely enthusiastic, and once, when it rained during a dinner at the Lu’s, Lu Chengye even invited him to stay overnight at their home, suggesting the guest room next to Lu Qianrou’s was empty.
Next door.
Fu Chen knew perfectly well that this was Lu Chengye’s tacit permission for him and Lu Qianrou to get intimate.
Seeing Lu Chengye so friendly, Fu Chen actually looked down on him, knowing that all Lu Chengye wanted was for Lu Qianrou to date and marry him so that the Lu Family could cling to the Fu Family.
But at the time, Fu Chen had not agreed because he had already been intimate with Lu Qianrou, and they’d even go to hotels on weekends. It was uncomfortable and awkward to do it at a home like this, and he wasn’t interested.
Fu Chen called Lu Chengye to ask which hospital Lu Sheng was in.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chengye, the father, didn’t even know his daughter had been injured.
After a while, Lu Chengye called back to say that after asking around, Lu Sheng had finished seeing the doctor and was preparing to go home. He even took the initiative to invite Fu Chen, saying if he wanted to see Lu Sheng, he could come over and wait at their home.
So Fu Chen came with some high-quality medicinal ingredients for body nourishment.
Right now, on the living room couch at the Lu Family’s house.
Lu Chengye said with enthusiasm, "Chenchen, you rushed over to see our injured Lu Sheng so urgently, it looks like you two get along quite well."
Lu Chengye was thrilled that Fu Chen was inquiring about Lu Sheng.
Originally, he thought that since Lu Qianrou had left, the marriage plan between the Lu and Fu families would be over. However, Lu Sheng was so capable that she had caught the attention of the young master of the Fu Family.
Lu Chengye thought that he should use this opportunity to let Lu Sheng and Fu Chen improve their relationship.
If Lu Sheng could marry into the Fu Family, it would be worth it despite the humiliation he suffered in Jiang City, bringing this illegitimate daughter raised in the country back home.
"We didn’t get along well," Fu Chen said in response to Lu Chengye’s question, "I wanted to get along with Lu Sheng, especially since grandfather likes her so much, but Lu Sheng’s attitude towards me in class was very poor."
"Uncle Lu, you don’t know, this morning I sent Lu Sheng flowers, along with a ruby necklace that cost hundreds of thousands, specially brought from abroad."
"But not only did Lu Sheng not even look at the flowers, but the necklace also went directly into the trash can. I’ve never been treated like this by any girl."
While saying this, Fu Chen appeared as though he had been wronged.
"What??" Lu Chengye’s eyes widened upon hearing this, "It’s one thing not to want the flowers, but she threw out the necklace you gave her? Is that girl crazy?"
Lu Chengye was furious.
To throw away a necklace worth hundreds of thousands just like that was pure capricious waste, plus she had offended Fu Chen.
Indeed, she was raised in the countryside with no manners.
Seeing Lu Chengye’s anger, Fu Chen continued, pouring oil on the fire, "Now everyone at school is saying that I was publicly rejected by Lu Sheng during my confession, making me lose a lot of face."
"Uncle Lu, as you know, with my looks and our family’s status, it’s always other girls chasing me at school, yet only Lu Sheng..."
"You don’t need to say more, Chenchen, this issue is entirely Lu Sheng’s fault; she really doesn’t know what’s good for her!" Before Fu Chen could finish, Lu Chengye immediately spoke out indignantly, looking even more enraged than Fu Chen.
"If you like Lu Sheng and she doesn’t cherish your feelings, that’s one thing, but for her to treat you like this—"
"I thought she showed her face a few times in Jiang City and started floating, not knowing who she is anymore."
"Don’t worry, Chenchen, Uncle Lu will make a decision for you on this matter. When Lu Sheng comes back, I will teach her a good lesson on your behalf!"
—"Dad, who did you say you’re going to discipline?"
The moment Lu Chengye finished speaking, an angry voice came from behind.
Lu Chengye subconsciously turned his head, only to see a girl with a cast on her leg sitting quietly in a wheelchair, accompanied by his wife and five sons.
What was frightening was that among all these people, only the girl’s expression could be considered calm.
His wife was glaring fiercely, the eldest son’s face was an unhappy blue, the second son’s eyes were icy cold, and the third son was expressionless.
The youngest set of twin sons, one was sullen and silent, while the other was glaring at Fu Chen, sitting on the couch, clenching his teeth, looking like he was ready to roll up his sleeves and fight at any second.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chengye quickly stood up.
He nervously said, "Wife...you all went to pick up Lu Sheng together? Wasn’t it just Youming who took her to the hospital?"
