Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Scumbag Dad, Get Lost!
Seeing the figure that appeared in the living room, Lu Chengye couldn’t help but gape.
No way, was he seeing things, or was he face-blind?
The man before him—isn’t he the top of Jiang City’s financial and influential elite, the sole ruler of Li Group, Li Muchen??
Lu Chengye’s face showed utter disbelief.
How could a person of Li Muchen’s status suddenly come to their Lu Family? What happened?
"Ahem, Muchen, you’ve arrived."
Seeing that Li Muchen had come to their home, Jiang Ting, who had been cursing vehemently just now, had no choice but to put away her furious facade and resume her usual elegance and grace.
It didn’t matter with outsiders like Fu Chen, but she still needed to maintain her image in front of her son-in-law.
"Sorry, Aunt Jiang, I was delayed by some traffic while picking up a gift, it took some time," Li Muchen started by apologizing to Jiang Ting.
Then he turned his gaze to Lu Chengye, who was still stunned, and addressed him respectfully, "Uncle Lu, hello, I am Li Muchen, Shengsheng’s boyfriend."
Oh, so Li Muchen is Shengsheng’s boyfriend.
Lu Chengye, whose brain had short-circuited, nodded subconsciously and then suddenly realized what was said, immediately looking up in astonishment.
What, Li Muchen said he’s Shengsheng’s boyfriend??
Jiang Ting just said that Lu Sheng was dating someone, so her boyfriend is President Li??
Like being struck by lightning, Lu Chengye stood frozen on the spot, staring blankly.
Looking around again, apart from himself, his wife and their five sons present all seemed very calm, obviously in the know about this.
No, Li Muchen must have been invited by them.
So, the whole family knew about Li Muchen’s relationship with his daughter, and only he, the father, was oblivious??
"What, what’s this all about?" Lu Chengye swallowed hard, "President Li means, you and our Shengsheng..."
"Can’t you see what’s going on?" Jiang Ting glanced at Lu Chengye with impatience.
"You never pay attention to Shengsheng, you weren’t even aware she’s found someone she likes, and you persist in trying to pair her up with others."
Jiang Ting’s tone was quite impatient, but at this moment, Lu Chengye couldn’t care less.
My God, what stroke of incredible luck has befallen the Lu Family, to encounter such pie falling from the sky!
This is Li Muchen! The immensely wealthy and powerful Li Muchen, whose word is law in Jiang City! He actually took a liking to their Shengsheng!
Now they’re dating, and later, it will naturally lead to engagement and marriage.
Doesn’t that mean their Shengsheng will eventually become the matriarch of Li Group, the sole mistress of the Li Family?
Such a huge surprise nearly knocked Lu Chengye senseless.
"This, this is really..."
Lu Chengye took a deep breath, unable to contain his joy, and looked at Lu Sheng reproachfully.
"Shengsheng, you’ve actually been dating President Li? Such a significant matter, why didn’t you tell dad sooner?"
Just a while ago, he was scolding Lu Sheng for her lack of upbringing, complaining her mother hadn’t raised her well.
Now that he learned about Lu Sheng and Li Muchen’s relationship, Lu Chengye turned around like a face-changing artist, doing a complete 180, now referring to himself as dad.
But this so-called dad, from the moment Lu Sheng entered the home up to now, hasn’t even asked how his daughter was injured, but started with various accusations.
Lu Sheng really couldn’t be bothered with Lu Chengye.
Or rather, she never had any expectations for her so-called "father".
On the other hand, listening to what Li Muchen said, Fu Chen was also shockingly wide-eyed, unable to speak.
The status and position of Li Muchen in the Jiang City circles were well known to him. The Fu Family’s wealth and power simply couldn’t compare with the Li Family.
Such a man, what kind of woman could he not have? With just a glance, many daughters from prominent families would be eager to throw themselves at him.
How could Li Muchen take a fancy to Lu Sheng, a girl who grew up in the countryside and is an illegitimate daughter?
Doesn’t he disdain her background that can’t be taken to the limelight, unworthy to match him?
Suddenly, Fu Chen understood.
Heh, no wonder Lu Sheng had been so indifferent to him, her attitude so cold.
He thought Lu Sheng was different from other girls, not moved by money and power, but it turned out she had long hooked a wealthier and more influential Li Muchen.
No wonder she could toss aside a necklace worth tens of thousands; now that she’s with the Li Family, why would she even consider the Fu Family important?
Thinking this, Fu Chen couldn’t help but feel a surge of jealousy and anger.
It turns out, after all this time, Lu Sheng is the most gold-digging woman.
She’s caught the biggest fish in Jiang City.
She appears pure but is actually full of schemes.
"So, President Li is coming to dine with us today? You should’ve told us early, Aunt Jiang, so I could have had the servants prepare,"
Lu Chengye spoke eagerly, then glimpsed Fu Chen on the sofa, his eyes rolling as he opened his mouth, "By the way, Chenchen, weren’t you here to visit Shengsheng?"
"Shengsheng has seen you now, look, it’s getting dark, and we have a guest at home. How about, I’ll have the driver take you back now?"
Just ten minutes ago, Lu Chengye was furious, saying that Fu Chen was a guest he invited because Lu Sheng told him to leave. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
But now, without needing Lu Sheng to speak, Lu Chengye, fearing that Li Muchen might misunderstand any relationship between Lu Sheng and Fu Chen, couldn’t wait to send Fu Chen away.
The speed of his face-changing act left Fu Chen unprepared.
Fu Chen looked at Lu Chengye incredulously, "Uncle Lu, you..."
"President Li, please don’t misunderstand," Lu Chengye didn’t even look at Fu Chen but kept explaining to Li Muchen, "When I mentioned that Shengsheng and Fu Chen had a marriage agreement, it was something that the older generation mentioned in passing."
"Moreover, Old Mr. Fu himself told me that the matter of love should be left to the children themselves, to just let nature take its course, so it’s as if it doesn’t exist."
"I didn’t know about Shengsheng dating before, but now that I do, and she’s with you, I definitely support your relationship wholeheartedly."
"Speaking of Shengsheng, what was the injury she sustained today, how did she end up with a cast?"
Lu Chengye pretended to be very concerned, and as he spoke, he moved closer to Lu Sheng, who was in a wheelchair, "Is it serious? Let dad take a look."
