“Mom! Do you know what Lu Chengzhou did?!” Second Old Master Lu’s face was livid with anger as he stepped into the hall.
Old Madam turned to look at him with a smile on her face. She looked amiable. “What did he do?”
Second Old Master Lu’s eyes met Old Madam’s light brown pupils and he felt a cold chill for some reason. But it passed as quickly as it had come.
He strode to the old lady and said with outrage, “Last night, he mobilized Red Scorpion privately and let Gu Mang barge into the Sang family’s villa to beat people up. Everyone out there is talking about it. Is Gu Mang going to cause trouble and do evil as she pleases in the future using the Leu family’s power? Is no one going to stop her?!”
“Cause trouble and do evil?” Old Madam repeated his words meaningfully.
“Sang Xue was hospitalized by Gu Mang. She still hasn’t woken up!”
Second Old Master Lu sat on the sofa and his anger would not subside. “Simply unruly! Does she think that she is still that young hooligan from before? She’s smearing the reputation of the Lu family! She might even take Red Scorpion down with her!”
The butler took another cup and poured a glass of water for Second Old Master Lu before stepping to the side.
“When you went to the police station last night, did you set a good impression for our family?” Old Madam’s voice still sounded unhurried and her emotions couldn’t be discerned.
Second Old Master Lu was slightly stunned for a moment. He did not expect Old Madam to ask about his visit to the police station instead of questioning Lu Chengzhou not separating his private life from work and letting Gu Mang beat up others.
Memory of being verbally attacked by Gu Mang yesterday and being threatened by Lu Chengzhou made his blood boil even more.
“Gu Mang led Lu Wu and the others to cause such a huge ruckus and I have to clean up the mess for them! Lu Chengzhou hasn’t even taken command of Red Scorpion yet and he is already so unscrupulous. When he really becomes the boss of Red Scorpion, what will be left of our reputation?!”
With that, Second Old Master Lu picked up his teacup.
He finished everything in one go. Bottom of the cup hit the mahogany coffee table with a thud.
“I told her that if she apologizes to Sang Xue and pays the medical costs, the matter will be over. But Gu Mang actually said that I disgust her! She has no regard for her elders at all!”
Second Old Master Lu grabbed the armrest of the couch tightly as if he had gone crazy.
“You told Gu Mang to apologize to Sang Xue?” Old Madam laughed. “Then she isn’t wrong for saying that you are disgusting.”
Second Old Master Lu was totally stunned. He stared at Old Madam, startled. “Mom, you…”
Old Madam’s expression turned sullen instantly. “If Sang Xue didn’t beat up Gu Mang’s friend first, would the Sang family be worthy of a personal visit from Gu Mang and Red Scorpion?”
From the look of it, she was clearly on Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang’s side.
Second Old Master Lu clenched his teeth. “Even if Sang Xue started it first, is that a valid reason for Gu Mang to lead Red Scorpion in and embarrass the Lu family like that?!”
“Embarrass?” Old Madam scoffed and pointed at him. “Giving birth to someone like you who sides with others instead of your own family is what I call embarrassing!”
Second Old Master Lu’s face turned black instantly.
“Do you think I have no idea what Lu Xiwei almost caused back then? If it weren’t for Gu Mang, would I have lived to this day?” Old Madam did not show off her bad temper very often, but her tone was enough to send chills down Second Old Master Lu’s spine.
Old Madam’s force response made the atmosphere in the living room tense. When Second Old Master Lu heard this, he sat stiffened on the sofa and he did not dare to look at Old Madam out of guilt.
“I did not expect you to go to the police station to help Gu Mang but instead you went and made things worse. How dare you talk about order right in front of my face?”
…
Second Old Master Lu quickly left Old Madam’s quarters miserably.
His once domineering look was gone. He did not even dare to lift his head.
Old Madam watched him from behind. She was so mad that she seemed to be in a fury filled daze.
The butler advised her, “Old Madam, don’t stay angry any longer. Ms. Gu advised you to maintain your peace of mind, remember?”
“The second family is getting worse.” Old Madam looked away. Her expression was not good.
After sitting for a while, her phone vibrated suddenly. Old Madam picked up her phone immediately. Indeed, it was a reply from Gu Mang.
[Good morning, Grandma.]
Old Madam could not wait to type, so she sent her a voice call right away. Gu Mang picked up very quickly.
She said hurriedly “Gu Mang!”
“Grandma, what’s the matter?” Grandma’s voice sounded low and hoarse.
She had been woken up by Jiang Shenyuan’s call. Meng Jinyang had regained consciousness.
Gu Mang held her phone in one hand and pulled her blanket away. She stepped onto the carpet and walked into the bathroom.
