âTsk, as expected of someone from new money. Itâs like he never ate meat in his previous life. How impatient. He must have been so poor when he was young!â
âHey, now, it seems heâs on a date with a young lady. The two of them took a bath together. Itâs indeed good to be rich. Young ladies nowadays donât have self-respect. Whatâs the use of being good-looking? Tui, trash!â
âMaybe heâs forcing her? After all, this upstart is strong. What does that weak little girl know? She just takes the money and lets him do whatever he wants. Even the police donât dare arrest him!â
âIt looks like he can only hang around here. As for those upper class dinner parties, he wouldnât even be able to get through the front door!â
Everyone gave Lu Xiao disdainful looks as they spoke.
Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows and his cold gaze swept over them.
One or two people immediately flinched, but they quickly straightened their backs. It was as if they werenât afraid of him since they outnumbered him.
Lu Xiao gritted his teeth. If he wasnât holding his daughterâs supper, he would have sent them flying with a few punches and kicks.
What a bunch of shameless people. Talking about him was fine, but they actually slandered his daughter?
Lu Xiaoâs cold gaze swept over those familiar faces, but he had only taken two steps when â
âDad, what are they talking about? Theyâre saying youâre nouveau riche or something?â
His daughter strode over and took the large tray from his hands. She had him carry little Ergou, and looked around in astonishment.
âNo, no, itâs nothing!â
Lu Xiao panicked and hurriedly pushed his daughter to leave. He was worried that his daughter wouldnât like him because of this.
Actually, his previous daughter had promised to accompany him out for a meal many times before. However, every time she heard people talking about him, her face would fall. In the end, she refused to accompany him out because she felt that he was too embarrassing.
Lu Xiao was worried that his real daughter would feel the same way. He had waited so long for her to come back.
Lu An was speechless. âDad, what are you doing?
âDid you do something wrong? Why do you look like youâre hiding something?â
âIâ¦â If he told his daughter that he hadnât done anything wrong and that these people were slandering him, would his daughter believe him?
Father Lu was extremely nervous. He had never felt so helpless before.
Lu An became even more indignant. She turned around to those people and said, âAnd you guys, who are you?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHow about each and every one of you look in the mirror? Whatâs wrong with my dad being a nouveau riche? Did he eat your meat or drink your soup?
âAnd so what if the police donât dare arrest him? That just means that he didnât do anything wrong! Otherwise, do you think that the police just loaf around, and donât catch bad people?
âEach and every one of you, just running your mouths off about other people. Are you children?
âShameless!â
The young ladyâs eyes were full of disdain. She pulled a face at those people as she spoke, then turned to her father and said, âDad, straighten your back in the future. If you didnât do anything wrong, your conscience is clear!
âAlso, remember these peopleâs faces. In the future, if any one of them dares to come and borrow money from you, throw them out. If theyâre so capable, let them find their own way. As long as itâs not against the law, weâll just enjoy ourselves and do whatever we like, alright?â
The young lady raised her voice slightly, and her little face was pure and bright.
Father Lu nodded. âYes! Yes!â
He had never experienced being protected by his daughter before!
He hurried to give an explanation.
