"I don't have a big head, but I think a lot." Lu Jiyuan gave her a disgusted look.
Where did she get so many useless arguments?
Seeing that Sheng Wantang was still glaring at him unconvinced, with a childishness that she didn't realize she had.
Lu Jiyuan tapped the woman's forehead with his fingers.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Only then did Lu Jiyuan realize what he had done. He paused for a short second and then naturally put down his hand.
Sheng Wantang rubbed his forehead in frustration.
It wasn't painful, but his action just now was too intimate. Even though she knew he was feeling disgusted, it still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
The Lu family's old house is located on the Third Ring Road. It is a large house with five entrances and five exits. It was built a hundred years ago. It has been continuously repaired in recent years and is still strong and magnificent.
As soon as I got off the car, the solemn feeling of a century-old house hit my face.
"Fourth Master, Fourth Madam."
After the servants greeted him respectfully, one of them led the way, while another pushed Lu Jiyuan's wheelchair.
In order to facilitate the entry and exit of Lu Jiyuan's wheelchair, the threshold of the house was removed, and every place has a wheelchair-accessible path.
Mr. Lu, Lu Jie, has a very good face. It is precisely because of his good face that even if he doesn't want to see Lu Jiyuan, he will act like he is kind to his son.
Lively chatter came from the hall.
The hall is several hundred square meters, and there are thirty or forty people in it, all close relatives of the head of the family. Most of the women live on the left side playing cards and chatting, while the men gather on the right side drinking tea and chatting. In the center is a famous ancient painting and legend.
Below the imperial plaque, there are two square huanghuali wood seats.
When the people inside saw Lu Jiyuan and Sheng Wantang, they were all quiet for a moment.
"Fourth Master is back," someone said.
"That's outrageous! We've all been waiting for you!" The old man in the men's area, who was over sixty years old, slammed the table, his cloudy eyes showing sharpness and reproach.
Lu Jiyuan sat in the wheelchair calmly and said: "Disabled people have difficulty walking."
His reason was completely impeccable, and no one could say anything more about his late arrival.
Sheng Wantang almost stopped laughing.
Lu Qi's eyes couldn't help but roll around Sheng Wantang several times.
It was the first time he saw her wearing a cheongsam. Her gentle and elegant temperament paired with that face was so beautiful that it was hard to take away her eyes!
"It's okay, dad, my fourth brother is used to having no rules, and we are all used to it." The well-maintained middle-aged man on the side handed Lu Jie a cup of tea, looked at Lu Jiyuan with a smile, and said meaningfully, "This is not
The fourth brother didn’t even say hello when he saw me as the eldest brother.”
The speaker was Lu Qi's father, Lu Tianhua. He was the illegitimate son of Lu Jie and Chu Nian, and he had always been favored by Lu Jie.
Lu Jiyuan glanced over with cold eyes. He was obviously sitting in a wheelchair but his aura was frightening. "My mother only gave me one brother, but it wasn't you."
Lu Tianhua is not worthy of being his brother!
The air instantly became tense.
Bu Jinghan had two sons, one was Lu Jiyuan, and the other was the deceased Mr. Lu.
In addition, Lu Jie also has a son and a daughter, the eldest son Lu Tianhua and an illegitimate daughter who has married outside and has not returned.
"you--"
Lu Qi was about to defend his father when a graceful middle-aged woman heard the sound and came over, signaling her son not to be impulsive.
Dou Yaqing said: "Does Fourth Brother question the old man's bloodline or discriminate against his origin? If we really want to talk about it, Fourth Brother, why not first see what kind of background the woman you brought here is worthy of appearing here?"
Sheng Wantang suddenly understood Lu Jiyuan's dislike of her on the way here - some people are deliberately looking for trouble, and it doesn't matter how polite she is!
Everyone looked at Sheng Wantang with different expressions.
"Sister." Sheng Mengyue attended today as Lu Qi's girlfriend and stayed with Dou Yaqing.
"Yueyue, don't yell. What kind of sister is she? Your parents only gave birth to a daughter." Dou Yaqing sent Lu Jiyuan's words to Sheng Wantang intact, and said with a half-smile, "Sheng
Miss, it was valuable a month ago, but unfortunately it has depreciated now.”
Sheng Mengyue smiled and stopped talking.
"Pfft!"
There were several jeers from the crowd.
Sheng Wantang is Lu Jiyuan's wife. To embarrass Sheng Wantang is to lose Lu Jiyuan's face.
Sheng Wantang herself also knew very well that she and Lu Jiyuan were just grasshoppers on the same rope.
She placed one hand on Lu Jiyuan's wheelchair, her smile unchanged: "For my current status as Mrs. Lu, being the daughter of the Sheng family is just the icing on the cake, so I don't mind."
No one can refute this.
Although the Sheng family is a wealthy family, it cannot compare with the Lu family. The title of Mrs. Lu carries much more weight than the daughter of the Sheng family.
Lu Jiyuan lowered his eyes to hide the smile in his eyes.
If he allowed others to bully him, he would no longer be Sheng Wantang.
"Fourth uncle really likes to pick up women I don't want." Lu Qi was unhappy when he heard that Sheng Wantang tied herself to Lu Jiyuan.
Sheng Wantang felt a little annoyed.
This family is looking for trouble like flies?!
Since Lu Jiyuan cherishes words like gold, she should say more.
"Master Lu, I reminded you the last time we met that according to etiquette, you have to call me aunt. Your brother-in-law and I have been here for so long, and you, a junior, haven't seen it? No matter what my background is, I am the wife of your brother-in-law.
Wife, she is your aunt!" Sheng Wantang did not let go of Lu Tianhua, whose face was getting more and more ugly. "Mr. Lu has been staring at my husband all day long to see if he has any rules. Why don't you discipline your son well?"
The words "The clear matchmaker is marrying" stimulated Lu Qi's family.
"How presumptuous! Do you have the right to interrupt what we are talking about?" Dou Yaqing was furious and raised her hand to slap Sheng Wantang in the face.
As soon as the slap was raised, Lu Jiyuan picked up the tea cup at hand and threw it over without hesitation.
"ah!"
"Crack!"
A scream and a crisp sound.
The tea cup hit Dou Yaqing's hand and shattered on the floor. All the scalding hot tea was poured on Dou Yaqing's hand, and the tea leaves splashed and stuck to her face, which was particularly embarrassing.
The entire hall was deathly silent.
"Who do you think you are? You deserve to dictate to my woman?" Lu Jiyuan's face turned gloomy, and he pulled Sheng Wantang behind him.
He glanced around him indifferently, and the people around him felt cold all over.
Sheng Wantang was slightly startled by his protective action, and looked at the man's cold profile in astonishment.
My heart felt like it was lightly knocked by something.
Dou Yaqing reacted and started to cry out in pain.
"Mom, please be patient, the doctor will be here soon!" Lu Qi quickly asked the servant to call the family doctor.
"Fourth, you are going too far!" Lu Tianhua was shocked and angry.
Lu Jiyuan's sneer was particularly chilling, and his words gave everyone a wake-up call: "Don't forget who your family is, and who I am."
No matter how unpopular Lu Jiyuan was, he was still a legitimate son protected by law and the mother of a wealthy Bu family. Now they were able to control Lu Jiyuan only because they still had a bargaining chip in their hands that could threaten Lu Jiyuan.
But once Lu Jiyuan is pushed into a panic and he is no longer restrained, this lunatic may very well drag the entire Lu family with him!
