Chapter 693 - 693 Puppet
693 Puppet
The smile on Shen Hanxing’s face didn’t fade. Ji Qian and Ji Ning looked at each other, and a look of understanding and relief flashed in their eyes. It seemed that their sister-in-law really hated the Lu Family. She was so happy to hear that the Lu Family was in trouble. They knew that a person like Lu Shaoyang could not be compared to their big brother, Ji Yan. It was impossible for their sister-in-law to fall for Lu Shaoyang!
Indeed, the Lu family wasn’t in a good situation. Lu Shaoyang had a lot to drink last night, and Su Ling was pregnant. On the so-called wedding night, the two of them slept separately. When he woke up, Lu Shaoyang went downstairs in a daze and saw Lu Guo’s broken porcelain pieces on the floor. Mrs. Lin’s expression was grim.
“What’s the matter now?” Frowning, Lu Shaoyang sat on the sofa with a bit of dissatisfaction. “You guys asked me to get married, and I did. What’s the fuss about this early in the morning?”
“You bastard!” Lu Guo’s face was full of anger. Hearing Lu Shaoyang’s words, he immediately scolded, “Do you know what you just said? Are you getting married for us?”
“Isn’t that so?” Lu Shaoyang sneered with a cold look on his face. If it weren’t for their disagreement and his mother’s insistence on canceling the engagement with Hanxing, he wouldn’t have to visit Shen Hanxing so sneakily every time. He wouldn’t have missed the opportunity to cultivate their relationship and wouldn’t have disappointed her. If it were not for his parents, he wouldn’t have had to watch Shen Hanxing marry someone else and drift apart from him. Lu Shaoyang’s heart ached as if it was being torn apart. He thought of the wedding yesterday and could not help but laugh, “What am I? I’m not your son, I’m just your puppet!”
“Pa!” Lu Guo suddenly raised his hand and slapped Lu Shaoyang. “Bastard, what are you talking about! How did I give birth to such an unfilial son! It’s fine if you can’t share the family’s worries, but you’re even causing trouble for me. What’s the use of me raising you!”
“If you don’t support me, how are you going to use marriage latch onto a richer family? Are you going to do it yourself?” As the eldest son of the family, Lu Shaoyang had been entrusted with high hopes since he was a child. He had grown up smoothly and had never been hit. Lu Guo’s slap made his face hurt, his ears buzzed, and his mouth reeked of blood. His expression turned even colder. He raised his head rebelliously and looked at Lu Guo coldly. “So, don’t you think I’m quite useful? I just got you a daughter-in-law yesterday.”
“Bastard!” Lu Guo was so angry that his blood pressure rose. He raised his hand to hit Lu Shaoyang again.
“Lu Guo, what are you doing?” Mrs. Lu was stunned. She finally came back to her senses and rushed over with a choked voice. “Shaoyang just got married yesterday, and you’re hitting him today. He has already grown up and has a family. Don’t be angry with him!”
“Listen to what your son is saying. Is it reasonable?” Lu Guo was panting, his eyes bloodshot. “It’s a mess outside and the company’s reputation is affected. He doesn’t have a solution and is still here moaning about his own relationship issues. Why do I have such a useless son?” Lu Guo was extremely anxious when he saw the news on the internet. What made him even more uneasy was that he had been notified early in the morning to prepare the account books. When he thought of this, Lu Guo felt his vision go dark and he was in utter despair. What made him even more desperate was that after the problem with the project quality was exposed, the entire project had been halted. The situation was already so critical, but Lu Shaoyang still wanted to go against him. No wonder Lu Guo could not control his emotions.
The Lu Corporation’s reputation was affected? Lu Shaoyang frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy. At this moment, Lu Nuannuan came downstairs with a red and swollen face. She had been beaten up yesterday, so there were still bruises on her face. Coupled with the ointment she had applied, she looked pathetic and funny.
“What’s wrong with you all so early in the morning?” Lu Nuannuan’s eyes were swollen, and she looked around uneasily. She moved closer to Mrs. Lu and called out in a low voice, “Mom?”
“Nuannuan, does your face still hurt?” Seeing Lu Nuannuan, Mrs. Lu’s heart ached and she almost cried. She held Lu Nuannuan’s hand and couldn’t help but cry to Lu Shaoyang. “Shaoyang, look at your sister. She was tortured by Shen Hanxing, the vixen you’re still infatuated with. What’s so good about her? Su Ling likes you so much, and she’s pregnant with your child. Why don’t you lead a proper life instead of thinking about that vixen?”
