Chen Lanying’s mother immediately knelt at the entrance when she saw Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu. She hugged Mrs. Lu’s legs and said, “Teacher Li, I beg you; please let my daughter go! My daughter can’t go to jail. If she goes to jail, her life will be over!”
Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu also stood up. Then, they called out to Lu Weihua, who stood outside and refused to come in, and said, “Why aren’t you coming in? Why are you standing outside?”
Only then did the Lu family know that both the Lu and Chen families were there. Even Lu Weihua’s mistress was; she stood there with a big belly. At first glance, Jiang Yao was a little surprised. How could those two families, which should have been torn apart, stand together so harmoniously?
“What are you doing?”
Mrs. Lu moved aside and looked around the compound. She went forward and pulled Chen Lanying’s mother.
One of them was a farmer, and the other was a teacher who had never done hard work. Mrs. Lu was not as strong as Chen Lanying’s mother, so she could not move the woman even after he pulled her a few times.
Lu Xingzhi saw that Mrs. Lu struggled to pull the other woman; Chen Lanying’s mother even pushed him. He almost lost his balance and fell. He immediately put down the glass of milk that Jiang Yao had drunk and placed it on the coffee table. He got up and walked toward the group of people at the door.
“What a bad temper!”
Lu Yuqing Glanced at Lu Xingzhi, then pressed Jiang Yao and Lu Xiaoxiao to continue watching TV; she did not let them join the fun.
“My brother has always been patient with others, but for only a few seconds.” Lu Xiaoxiao was used to it. Even she was often scolded by Lu Xingzhi, let alone those irrelevant outsiders.
After she said that, Lu Xiaoxiao pointed at the milk cup on the coffee table and said, “In this world, only my sister-in-law has the fortune to let my brother feed her the milk.”
“He is afraid that it will go to waste if I don’t finish it, right?”
Jiang Yao rubbed the tip of her nose and continued to look at the door.
Jiang Yao had guessed the reason for Chen Lanying’s appearance at that time. They must have wanted to jail her for abandoning her baby, so she rushed back to beg Lu Xingzhi. Chen Lanying was not stupid; she knew Lu Xingzhi’s words had a lot of weight. One could say that it was right to ask him for help, but one could also say it was wrong.
If Lu Xingzhi did not want her to go to jail, then it was right for her to ask for his help. However, Lu Xingzhi wanted her imprisoned, and based on his personality, he would never take back what was already done. Her effort that night was in vain.
Lu Xingzhi walked toward the door. The first thing he did was to pick up Mrs. Chen and carry her out of the door. His voice was cold and stiff when he said, “If you want to kneel, then kneel on the main road. We are not your ancestors. You don’t have the right to kneel in our home.”
Perhaps Lu Xingzhi’s action was too rough, so the people there were scared. When they saw Lu Xingzhi, they retreated into the courtyard subconsciously.
Lu Xingzhi stood at the main entrance like a fierce god. He looked coldly at the group of people in the courtyard and said, “I know why you are here, but I advise you not to waste your energy. I was the one who did that. My parents don’t know anything about it, and I would never take it back.”
Lu Xingzhi had not only allowed Chen Lanying to make a choice and serve her sentence within three days, but he had also wanted Lu Weihua’s job.
