Chapter 71
(29.1)
Lu Wanwanâs mother for these past few days had been consumed by anger. She was so angry her mouth was full of foam.
After dressing herself up dazzlingly with jewels, the Lu mother rushed to her husbandâs office in great fanfare. Naturally, she had a matter to handle, since the last time her daughter had said she wanted to divorce Shen Yi, she had been waiting for so many days, yet her daughterâs divorce certificate was still nowhere in sight.
Her son had secretly told her that their father did not agree with his sisterâs divorce, and this time, Lu Wanwanâs mother was really enraged.
Seeing his wife, Lu Wanwanâs father welcomed her into his office, while feeling confused. He asked, âHoney, why did you come over ?â
Lu Wanwanâs mother swept two glances at him, and glared at him as she unpolitely said, âWhy did I come over? Isnât it all because Iâm so angry with you !?â
She couldnât help but reach out and grab his ear, saying with dissatisfaction, âTell me how many days has it been, where is our daughterâs divorce certificate? Have you eaten it? Iâve been waiting for so long for my daughter to get a divorce, and yet you want to stop it? Is your daughter not your own child? How come youâre treating her so badly ?â
These past months, Lu Wanwanâs mother had been ridiculed a lot by her relatives. Before, they used to laugh at her daughter for not marrying well, but recently, these few days, Shen Yi seemed to have done something remarkable, for people started to hold him in high regard. However, the Lu mother wasnât less mocked for it, each one of them were saying in a cynical way that their family was shamelessly hanging on to people without letting go.
Lu Wanwanâs mother wasnât good-tempered, and when she heard those words, inevitably she felt upset in her heart. After inquiring later on about it, it seemed that the fatherless and motherless Shen Yi now had a backer ?
But then what about it? The Lu mother had sharp eyes and had always felt, all along, that Shen Yi wasnât a good thing.
âIt hurts, hurts, hurts, youâre really hurting me when you pull my ear like this.â Lu Wanwanâs father grimaced and shouted.
Lu Wanwanâs mother grunted twice, let go of his ear and pointed at his nose, âYou tell me, what are you capable of doing ? The fact that our daughter wants to divorce, this kind of wonderful occasion, why are you stopping it ? She is beautiful, young and loveable, are you afraid she wonât find another man? After they divorce, I can make him suffer a loss.â
Lu Wanwanâs father couldnât take it anymore and yelled, âDo you really not know who Shen Yi is?â
The Lu motherâs eyes were wide-open: âIsnât he just, just, just an illegitimate child who has been recognized ?!â
She persisted stubbornly and added, âHeâs just a b***ard, he canât make any wave, you just have no eyesight!â
The Lu father was now dead-angry with his wife, he furiously said: âWho told you that heâs a b***ard? Heâs the legitimate second young master of the Shen family.â
Lu Wanwanâs mother thought she had misheard and asked, âThe Shen family? Which Shen family?â
âIs there any other Shen family?â
Lu Wanwanâs mother couldnât quite believe it, âYouâre not fooling me, are you? How is this possible?â
Lu Wanwanâs father puffed as he sat back in his office chair. Raising his eyes, he asked, âYou didnât do anything to him, did you?â
Lu Wanwanâs mother cheekily said, âI didnât.â
She didnât dare to tell him that this morning she had even rushed into Shen Yiâs company and made a huge scene. She spoke vehemently and every sentence she said was harsher than the previous sentence.
For example, âWhy donât you take a look at what kind of thing you areâ, âAre you even worthyâ, âYou better quietly sign the papers and scramâ, âDonât waste my daughterâs youth,â âTo be a man, one has to know his worth.â
Lu Wanwanâs mother didnât know exactly how many of such sentences she had said to his face.
Shen Yi stood there, letting her scold him, without retorting even a word. He waited until she was tired from scolding him, to invite her out, with a smile on his face.
With such a contrast, the Lu mother felt like she seemed like a shrew.
Her temper exploded and she had refused to leave, dead or alive.
She had pointed at him, directly at his face, and started scolding him again.
Lu Wanwanâs father believed her words and said with relief, âItâs good that you didnât do anything. Think about it, Iâm also doing it for the good of our daughter ah. After they divorce, what if he retaliates against Wanwan? That idiot Lu Zhouzhi is a useless bum, he canât protect his sister.â
Lu Wanwanâs mother nodded, feeling that her husband had a point: âYouâre right, Lu Zhouzhi is indeed a useless thing.â
What kind of product their son was, both parents were clearly aware inside their heart.
âIâm not trying to get any advantage out of Shen Yi, I just hope they can live well together now.â
After thinking about it for a moment, the Lu mother was persuaded by his words a little. In front of this huge monster that was the Shen family, their Lu family absolutely wasnât their opponent. âOkay, then Iâll stay out of their business for now.â
âGood ! And next time you see Shen Yi, be more polite to him too.â
âDo I need you to remind me ?â
