Chapter 122
t at this moment, the memories he had suppressed for so long brought tears to the eyes of this stalwart man, a towering figure known for his unwavering resolve.Han Tian grew up long and sighed, as if...The Grand Lu Residence.
Lu Xi Yue slept until the sun was three poles high before getting up, still feeling a little tired.
Last night she kept worrying about Lu Xijun. She thought the police might come for her any time, so she tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep.
As soon as she stepped out of her room, she rushed straight to Lu Zhongheng and his wife's room, wanting to ask if they had heard any news about Lu Xijun's situation at the police station.
But as soon as she reached the doorway to their room, a servant approached and said: "Sixth Miss, Master and Madam left in a rush early this morning and haven't returned yet."
Lu Xi sighed softly, calling Tian Shuya's number but getting no answer. Her heart sank even further with worry.
"Miss Six, lunch is ready. Would you like to eat" the servant asked.
"Have a meal."
The maid hurried to prepare.
Lu Xi was dining alone at a table, only wanting to eat a few bites to fill her stomach.
At this moment, her phone rang. She thought it was Tian Shuya calling back, so she quickly picked up the phone and found out it was Feng Ying calling.
She impatiently answered the phone, asking, "What's up I'm eating."
"Xiyuejie, you..." Feng Ying didn't understand how she could still eat. "Did you see the trending searches online Lin Dongdong...she's trending again..."
Lu Xi Yue let out a cold snort. "She's trending again with some new scandal. Serves her right."
"All the trending topics today are about her, what are we going to do We're doomed." Feng Ying said through sobs.
Lu Xiyue couldn't help but feel a little strange. Yesterday, at the press conference, it was her who made a fool of herself. Today, on the trending topics, it should be her being pointed out, but why is it all about Lin Dongdong
She dominated the hot searches, and those hot searches have nothing to do with me.
"Xiyuejie, I didn't see your hot search."
Lu Xiyue couldn't help but smile, it was truly as if heaven was helping her, while Lin Dongdong was the unlucky one.
It's a pity she wasn't there for the second half of the press conference. I estimate that Lin Dongdong won't have a good ending either. "What other trouble has Lin Dongdong gotten into"
Feng Ying wanted to cry but had no tears. She said, "It's not a bad thing. It turns out she is Mu Jingcheng's wife, the eldest young mistress of the Mu family."
"What mistress, what Mu Jingcheng or Mu family"
"The Mu Group of the Mu family, who dominates Jiang City!" Feng Ying said anxiously, "We bullied her so much before, what if she holds a grudge and seeks revenge on us"
Lu Xi Yue felt that she must be crazy, "What nonsense are you talking about Why should we be afraid of her She's not even worthy..."
"Xiyue, you can just look at the hot search," Feng Ying thought she was too self-righteous and hung up first.
Lu Xi Yue threw her phone onto the table and angrily said, "To hang up on me first What nerve!"
She continued eating, then suddenly felt something was wrong. She grabbed her phone back, opened the trending searches, and her hands started shaking instantly.
She looked at every trending topic about Mu Jingcheng and Lin Dongdong in disbelief, her face growing increasingly grim.
My goodness, the man they always thought was a model and an assistant to the Mu Corporation, it turns out he is actually the current head of the Mu Corporation, Mu Jingcheng!
Lin Dongdong actually got married to someone like Mu Jingcheng without anyone knowing. No wonder things have been going downhill for the Lin family this past while, while Lin Dongdong has been getting better and better.
She was insanely jealous, how come How come!
Lin Dongdong used to be worse than even a beggar, such a despicable person. How could Mu Jingcheng marry her And how could the Mu family accept such a daughter-in-law
I don't know what tricks Lin Dongdong used. She must have told the Mu family about her being their biological daughter, so they now treat her as their real heiress.
This is it, definitely this!
She was so angry that she slammed the bowl on the table in front of her, stood up abruptly, and wished she could flip the whole thing over.
The maid in the dining room jumped in fright, and at that moment Lu Zhongheng and his wife returned from outside.
Several servants came forward and took the things from their hands.
Lu Xi Yue simply retracted her anger and gestured for the maids in the dining room to clean up the shattered plates on the floor. She hurried over and asked, "Mom and Dad, where did you go this morning Haven't you had breakfast yet"
Lu Zhongheng and his wife looked haggard and did not respond to her.
Tian Shuyu had just put on her slippers when she felt a wave of weakness wash over her, and she began to lean to one side. Fortunately, several maids were quick-witted and caught her before she fell.
"Mom, Mom!" Lu Xiyue took it from the maid, "What's wrong Are you feeling unwell"
"Fetch two cups of water." Lu Zhongheng said weakly.
The servant hurriedly poured two cups of water, "Master and Madam, please drink some water."
Lu Xiyue had helped Tian Shuya to the sofa and took the water from the maid. She carefully fed Tian Shuya a sip.
Tian Shuya came to herself, opened her eyes and cursed: “That dead girl Lin Dongdong! It must be her, she's the one who's harming our Lu family...”
Before she could finish scolding him, she gasped for breath.
Lu Xi Yue gently patted her back and asked, "Mom and Dad, what's wrong"
"Lao Si, Lao Si this time is probably finished, no one can save him." Lu Zhongheng had never felt so helpless in his life.
Lu Xiyuan has found a lawyer to inquire about Lu Xiujun's situation at the police station. Lu Xiujun has committed several capital offenses, and the evidence is conclusive.
Someone turned over both eyewitness accounts and physical evidence to the police, but the police haven't revealed what those pieces of evidence are, leaving them with no leads.
This morning, the parents of a female star named Xu Yan contacted them, saying that their daughter was murdered by the fourth child and they had conclusive evidence.
They were thinking about whether they could talk to the other side and settle this privately. At least that way, the fourth one would have one less charge against them.
The result was that after meeting, the other party not only wanted Lu Xijun to be held accountable for murder but also demanded they pay 50 million in compensation.
They couldn't come to an agreement at all. The other party revealed the evidence they had, a confession recording of the hitman Lu Xijun hired.
The other party threatened to post the recording online, and Lu Zhongheng gritted his teeth and agreed to pay the other party fifty million in compensation.
All they agreed to was not to post it online, the recording was already given to the police.
Lu Xi Yue was shocked after hearing what Lu Zhong Heng said, "Dad, fifty million! This is extortion, we can report them!"
"That's enough!" Lu Zhongheng said impatiently.
Lu Xi Yue unwillingly said, "But fifty million can't clear Si Ge of his crime. Why should we give it to them"
Tian Shuyang supported her head and said, "There's no way. If we don't give them 50 million, they'll post the recording online, and our Lu family will be finished."
“It’s all that idiot Lao Si’s fault!” Lu Zhongheng said, “Freezing Lin Dongdong out of the entertainment industry and making her unable to make it in Jiang City would have been enough. But he actually went as far as plotting murder, hiring thugs, and staging a car accident! Even though they’re related by blood, he still thought this up!”
"That dead girl deserved to die, it's a pity that the fourth one couldn't kill her." Tian Shuyan actually thought that the fourth one was right to want to kill Lin Dongdong. The mistake wasn't wanting to kill her, but failing to do so and ending up in jail instead.
Lu Zhongheng rebuked, "She is now married to Mu Jingcheng and is the young mistress of the Mu family. Don't keep calling her a dead girl. If it weren't for you insisting on not recognizing her, we could still be related to the Mu family now. How much benefit would that bring us"st causing him to faint.Yang Chen's strike was merciless. He completely broke Qin Fei's wrist, even exposing the white bone. It's possible that he won't be able to keep his hand anymore.Old Master Qin...
