CHAPTER 173: CHAPTER 173: SHOW HER OUR RINGS

As soon as Lu Zhenqing finished speaking, Mrs. Lu’s cane fiercely struck Lu Zhenqing’s lower back.

With a loud thud, Lu Zhenqing was sent flying by Mrs. Lu.

"You worthless bastard!" Mrs. Lu’s lips went blue with anger, her face turned pale, and with disdainful eyes, she pointed her dragon-headed cane at Lu Zhenqing, "I should never have pitied you back then! If I drove you out of the Lu Family, I shouldn’t have taken you back in!"

What can a useless fool do other than make things worse?

"Mom, I’m your real son!" Lu Zhenqing’s waist was hit hard and felt numb all over, "And you scold me for an outsider?"

"Mianmian is not an outsider, nor is the mother-in-law," Mrs. Lu stated seriously, "She’s the Lu Family matriarch as Ah Chuan and I have acknowledged!"

The term ’matriarch’ once again provoked Lu Zhenqing.

If not for Xia Mian, the true matriarch of the Lu Family should have been Shen Man!!!

"Mom! Don’t you think this is unfair to me?" Lu Zhenqing roared in anger, "I’m your real son, what is he supposed to be? Is he your real grandson?!"

As Lu Zhenqing said this, the room fell into an eerie silence.

What did they just hear?

Lu Zechuan is not Mrs. Lu’s biological grandson?

That means Lu Zhenqing is not Lu Zechuan’s biological father?

Oh, Lu Zechuan’s real mom cuckolded Lu Zhenqing!

The guests exchanged glances with varying expressions, and though gossip was in everyone’s eyes, none dared to utter a word.

After hearing this, Lu Zechuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Before entering the Mystical World, Aunt Ding had said that the Lu Family was not his real family, nor were the Lu Family members his real kin.

At the time, he was skeptical of Aunt Ding’s words.

But now...

Lu Zhenqing’s words contained quite a bit of information!

"Slap!" Mrs. Lu raised her hand and slapped Lu Zhenqing across the face, "Get out! You’re not welcome here!"

Saying this, Mrs. Lu once again swung the cane in her hand, each blow landing accurately on Lu Zhenqing, "Get out! Get out! Go!"

Mrs. Lu’s cane hit Lu Zhenqing repeatedly, each blow more painful than the last, weighing down his heart.

Compared to kinship, his mother ultimately chose Lu Zechuan, who was useful to the Lu Family.

"Fine! I’m leaving!" Lu Zhenqing bellowed, breaking free from Mrs. Lu’s pursuit and storming out of the hotel.

Once Lu Zhenqing left, Mrs. Lu weakly sat down in a chair, her face ghastly pale.

Xia Mian stepped forward, quickly checking Mrs. Lu’s pulse, "This isn’t good, the old lady is at risk of an acute illness, we must get her to the hospital quickly!"

Xia Mian could save Mrs. Lu, but with limited tools at hand, she dared not act rashly.

Lu Zechuan acknowledged, apologized to the guests, and then left the hotel entrance with Xia Mian supporting Mrs. Lu.

With Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian gone, and Mrs. Lu also leaving, Song Juan, as the elder on the engagement side, stood up to take charge of the situation.

Although Lu Zhenqing had previously spoken disrespectfully of her, Mrs. Lu had promptly stood up in her defense, earning Song Juan more respect among the guests, ensuring no one dared to underestimate her.

****

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan took Mrs. Lu to the hospital, completed admission procedures, and then called someone to care for Mrs. Lu.

"I’m sorry, Mianmian, for what you’ve had to endure." On a hospital bench, Lu Zechuan turned to look at Xia Mian, his dark eyes filled with apology.

Xia Mian smiled, "Endure? I don’t feel wronged at all!"

After all, both Lu Zechuan and Mrs. Lu had unequivocally stepped up to defend her, hadn’t they?

In fact, one disowned a father, and the other disowned a son, going to such lengths, could she still claim to be wronged?

"I’ll handle it," Lu Zechuan said as his dark eyes lowered slightly.

If he found out that Lu Zhenqing was not his biological father, he wouldn’t have to be concerned about him.

Xia Mian raised an eyebrow, not continuing the topic, "Arrange for someone from Shu Dao Mountain or Shu Dao Temple to go to the Song Family and stay by my mother’s side."

Lu Zechuan nodded, "Alright, I’ll arrange it."

Xia Mian murmured in agreement and fell silent.

"Let me take you home," Lu Zechuan offered, "It’s been a long day, my fiancée."

Xia Mian looked up, her bright eyes landing on Lu Zechuan’s slightly stubbled chin, "And you’ve worked hard too, my fiancé."

The two exchanged a sweet smile.

Just as they left the hospital and turned onto the main road, Lu Zechuan spotted a familiar car again.

It was the pink sports car of Gu Xuan, whose tire he had blown with his Wood Ability yesterday.

Having been in a car accident yesterday and nearly disfigured, Gu Xuan had just received the report at the hospital when she saw two familiar figures. As they got into the car, Gu Xuan recognized them and got excited!

It was Lu Zechuan!

Today was Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian’s engagement day. Her brother and father were afraid she’d cause a scene at Lu Zechuan’s engagement party, so they specifically ordered her not to show up!

But being early is not as good as being lucky!

She actually ran into Lu Zechuan!

Since fate had given her this chance, she couldn’t let it go to waste!

So she immediately drove to catch up and within a minute successfully got Lu Zechuan’s attention.

"Lu Zechuan!" Gu Xuan rolled down the window, waving her left hand excitedly at Lu Zechuan!

Lu Zechuan didn’t spare her a glance, instead pressing the accelerator and speeding away.

Gu Xuan relentlessly gave chase, continuing to shout excitedly, "Lu Zechuan, why are you avoiding me!!!?"

Lu Zechuan’s face darkened, barely restraining himself from cursing.

Mouse cup!

I’m engaged now, can’t you go roll away somewhere?

Lu Zechuan drove swiftly, surprisingly reaching over a hundred in the city.

Xia Mian frowned slightly, "Keep calm."

The spell on Lu Zechuan wasn’t broken yet, and bad luck still lurked. However, because she was around to occasionally help alleviate it, it didn’t seem so bad.

Yet, if Lu Zechuan wasn’t careful, misfortune could still befall him.

Lu Zechuan seemed to realize this, gradually slowing down.

"Stop up ahead," Xia Mian said softly, "Explain things to her."

Lu Zechuan’s sword-like brows furrowed lightly, "What is there to say to her!"

A delusional crazy woman.

Xia Mian chuckled, tenderly placing her hand on Lu Zechuan’s right hand, their engagement rings gleaming under the sun, "Show her how beautiful our rings are!"
