Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Jiang Ting Curses Lu Chengye into a Daze
"That sentence ’Dad, who did you say you want to teach a lesson to?’ was said by Lu Jingyan."
At this moment, Lu Jingyan’s complexion was ashen, and he looked at Lu Chengye with visible irritation, the oppressive feeling almost reaching its peak.
It was from Fu Chen that Lu Chengye heard, after Lu Sheng got injured, Lu Youming directly carried her off from the horse field.
So he made a phone call and heard from Lu Youming on the other end, saying that Lu Sheng’s injury had been taken care of and she was ready to come home.
He naturally assumed that only Lu Youming and Lu Sheng would be returning home.
Lu Chengye couldn’t have imagined that not only the fourth son accompanied Lu Sheng to the hospital, but all his five sons went to the hospital, even his wife made the trip.
"Such a serious matter as Shengsheng’s injury, of course, we all dropped what we were doing and rushed to the hospital as soon as we heard the news."
"But Dad, what exactly are you doing at home?" Lu Jingyan first gave Lu Chengye a cold look, then turned to Fu Chen.
Without expression, he said, "This must be Young Master Fu from the Fu Family, may I ask what brings Young Master Fu to our Lu Family?"
They heard the entire conversation between Lu Chengye and Fu Chen the moment they walked in.
If it weren’t for Fu Chen coming here, they as brothers wouldn’t even know that their own sister was being harassed by boys in class.
Yes, harassed.
Only Lu Chengye would think it’s something to be happy about that Fu Chen is ostentatiously delivering flowers and necklaces to Lu Sheng in class.
In the eyes of Lu Jingyan and Lu Siyan, the classroom is a place for studies, with many other students around, and teachers coming in at any time.
Of course, they are aware of Shengsheng’s virtues. It’s only natural for boys who don’t know she’s already together with Li Muchen to be moved and want to pursue her.
But what Fu Chen did this morning in class was a clear demonstration of not considering Lu Sheng’s feelings at all, nor did he care if his actions would cause her to be gossiped about at school.
This kind of arrogant and conceited male, who does not know how to respect a girl, even if he is Young Master Fu, they wouldn’t even give him a second look.
And then there’s their dad, not siding with Shengsheng is one thing, but actually saying Shengsheng is ignorant for refusing harassment, wanting to teach her a lesson on behalf of Fu Chen.
It’s maddening just to think about it.
"Uh, I came to see how Lu Sheng’s injury is..."
Seeing Lu Jingyan looking at him, Fu Chen immediately responded, then turned to look at Lu Sheng.
Just as he was about to ask about Lu Sheng’s condition, he heard the girl in the wheelchair speak coldly.
"My injury is nothing serious, Young Master Fu need not concern himself," Lu Sheng raised her eyes to look at Fu Chen, "Since you’ve already seen me, you can leave now."
???
When Lu Chengye saw that Lu Sheng had such an attitude toward Fu Chen right in front of him, he was absolutely infuriated.
"Lu Sheng! When you were in the countryside, is this how your mother taught you to speak to others?!"
"Chenchen is a guest that I invited over, and also someone you are engaged to, and yet you chase him away as soon as he arrives, do you have any manners at all?!"
Fu Chen is the sole heir of the Fu Family, and Lu Chengye naturally spared no effort to curry favor, fearful that Fu Chen might ignore Lu Sheng from now on due to her poor attitude.
But what he said was too much.
Lu Sheng’s mother has already passed away, and her five older brothers always deliberately avoided mentioning their mother in front of Lu Sheng, fearing that their sister would be saddened by the memories.
And now, Lu Chengye just casually brings it up without any consideration, not only that, but he also suggests that Lu Sheng has no manners, implying that her mother did not raise her properly in the countryside.
It truly showed disregard for Lu Sheng’s feelings.
As soon as these words were said, everyone’s expression changed.
The day after the garden party gathering, as soon as Lu Jingyan and Lu Siyan walked through the door, they heard Lu Chengye say something like "Now that Qianrou is unable to get married, marrying off Lu Sheng to the Fu Family would do just the same, the Fu Family would still have a marriage alliance with our Lu Family."
Lu Jingyan was so furious that he went straight over to scold Lu Chengye, almost disowning him on the spot.
But now, Lu Chengye dared to say such hurtful things again, and right in front of Lu Sheng.
Lu Jingyan couldn’t tolerate it anymore, of course, neither could the other four, each with a more unsightly expression on their face.
However, just as they were about to speak up for Lu Sheng, Jiang Ting surprisingly burst out angrily, "Lu Chengye, is your brain shrunken or are you having a stroke? Is this how you act as a father?"
"To say Lu Sheng is ill-bred, I see it’s you who’s lacking manners! You should go back into your mother’s womb and be remade, fixing up that dog mouth of yours that can’t spit out anything but trash!"
...
The moment the words fell, the room went silent.
Even Fu Chen was taken aback.
Lu Jingyan wanted to assert himself, but he didn’t expect his own mother to be more domineering than he was.
Lu Siyan and Lu Ziye had also planned to step forward and speak, but exchanged glances and retreated to their original places instead.
Jiang Ting was, after all, the young lady of the Jiang Family.
Old Mr. Jiang spoiled her to the skies since she was his only daughter, willing to fetch stars but not the moon, and that’s why she was raised to be so arrogant and domineering.
When Jiang Ting married Lu Chengye over twenty years ago, it was a real step-down for her. Had it not been for Old Mr. Jiang supporting his only son-in-law back then, the Lu Family wouldn’t have its current wealth and prestige.
So in the marriage between Jiang Ting and Lu Chengye, Jiang Ting has always been dominant, and when they argue, Lu Chengye only has the option to appease her.
"Wife, what is this..." Lu Chengye was suddenly being cursed at by Jiang Ting, he too was flabbergasted.
What is going on?
Did he not just say Lu Sheng lacked manners? It wasn’t a severe accusation, so why was Jiang Ting so angry?
And didn’t Jiang Ting always hate Lu Sheng ever since she entered their door? So why was she now standing up for Lu Sheng?
"Lu Chengye, I’m asking you, whose fault is it that Lu Sheng grew up alone in the countryside? Isn’t it because of the conscienceless things you’ve done, and then simply walking away without taking responsibility?"
"Du Ran, a woman who has painstakingly raised her child all by herself for more than a decade, without even someone to rely on, what right do you have to criticize her for not raising Lu Sheng well?"
"And as for Lu Sheng, you better open those eyes of yours that are buried in money and see clearly how excellent, kind, and capable this child is."
"You’re blind, which would be fine, but you talk too much. And you, Fu Chen, Young Master Fu, my daughter already has a boyfriend now, so please stop harassing her at school from now on."
"If you continue to do such things, I, as her mother, will have to have a good talk with Old Mr. Fu!"
... Daughter.
This was the first time Jiang Ting referred to Lu Sheng as her daughter.
Upon hearing this sudden address from Jiang Ting, Lu Sheng’s eyes flickered involuntarily.
Both Lu Chengye and Fu Chen were shocked by Jiang Ting’s words.
Fu Chen’s eyes widened in astonishment, "... Huh? Lu Sheng already has a boyfriend?"
Lu Chengye’s eyes were even wider, "... Wife, what are you talking about? Are you saying Lu Sheng is already dating someone? How could such a big matter not be discussed with me?"
Lu Chengye became anxious on the spot.
The Lu Family has only one daughter now, and he was still hoping to use Lu Sheng to climb up the social ladder, how could he let Lu Sheng just date anyone casually?
Who in Jiang City could offer better conditions than the Fu Family?
The next second, a tall and imposing man, who was late to the Lu Family because he went to retrieve the Jade ring, suddenly appeared in the living room.
His presence was noble and profound, dressed in a black bespoke suit, with every inch of the fabric sharp and crisp, and the watch on his wrist reflecting a modest yet brilliant light.
