Chapter 226 Lu Xingchen's Counterattack
When these words were spoken, everyone thought that Chen Ma was wrong.
Lu Dingjian's eyes widened and he asked, "Auntie Chen, who do you say is outside?"
Mother Chen replied respectfully: "Lu Xingchen."
Lu Andi was the first to panic, "Today is our family day, what is she doing here?"
A hint of excitement appeared on Lu Yize's face, "Now that she's here, let her come in..."
Snapped
Ye Qianlian tapped him lightly with chopsticks to tell him to shut up. She didn't say anything either, meaning that he should listen to the old lady.
But at this time, Lu Yiheng, the eldest son of the first house, looked at Chen Ma and asked, "Who did she come with?"
Chen Ma replied: "She is the only one."
"Alone?" Lu Yiheng snorted and laughed, looking at the old lady, "Grandma, this girl is quite courageous, let her in and see what she dares to say."
The old lady didn't want to hear what Lu Xingchen had to say. Even if she wasn't allowed in, she might still complain to Lu Dingsheng. It would be better to let her in.
Besides, she was brave enough to come to her alone. The old lady looked at Aunt Chen and said, "Let her in."
Lu Xingchen had very short black hair, a royal blue T-shirt, and loose white trousers with the T-shirt tucked into the waistband. He was carrying a simple bag, the style of which was not much different from before, except that before, it was either a famous brand or custom-made, but now it was all cheap stuff that the Lu family couldn't recognize.
Even so, she still has the dignity brought up by their Lu family. If it weren't for her background, anyone would think that she is still the spoiled and outstanding descendant of the Lu family.
The paper bag in her hand was a famous brand that everyone present could recognize, and the contents were probably a gift for the old lady.
Lu Xingchen came in and bumped into everyone eating. He smiled and said, "Sorry, I haven't been back for a long time. I don't know if I am late or it is too early for dinner now?"
She used the word "come back" and specifically mentioned the rules that she was familiar with before, which made the faces of the people present change slightly.
The old lady looked at her for a moment with a normal expression, then said, "Mrs. Chen, have someone bring another set of bowls and chopsticks."
Mother Chen: “Yes.”
They actually let her sit down to eat? Everyone looked at me and I looked at you.
Lu Xingchen walked to the old lady naturally: "Thank you, grandma, this is my gift to you."
The old lady didn't look at her, but just said to Aunt Chen again, "Take it."
Aunt Chen came up and Lu Xingchen handed the bag to her. Then he looked at the people sitting there. Although the old lady asked her to sit down, no one made room for extra seats.
Lu Yize stood up and said, "Sister, come sit here with me."
Lu Xingchen walked over with a smile.
Ye Qianlian wanted to drag her little son out and give him a good beating, but the servant had already added another seat next to her for Lu Yize.
Lu Xingchen sat down next to Lu Yize and said to him with a smile: "Thank you, Aze."
“You’re welcome, we’re family…” Ye Qianlian, who was standing next to him, pinched his thigh hard, and he looked at his biological mother in pain.
Lu Xingchen remained calm and turned to look at Lu Andi, who had originally sat next to Lu Yize but now sat next to her. When she saw Lu Andi's eyes slightly evasive, she smiled and said, "Andi, you..."
Lu Andi couldn't help but hold his breath and stare at her, afraid that she would say something, but Lu Xingchen just paused for a moment and then continued, "You are more beautiful than before."
Lu Andi couldn't help swallowing and forced a smile, "You too."
Seeing that one of his family members was kind to Lu Xingchen and the other was afraid of Lu Xingchen, Lu Yiheng, as the eldest brother, asked, "Xingchen, we haven't seen each other for so long. Is there anything good that you suddenly come to our house?"
Of course Lu Xingchen heard him say "our family". She looked at him and smiled slightly, "Brother, I just came here to have a meal, but I do have good news."
After replying this, she looked at the old lady and said bluntly, "Grandma, my mother is divorced."
The old lady calmly used a delicate porcelain spoon to slowly scoop up the soup in the bowl and took a sip before looking at Lu Xingchen. "Your mother is divorced. What does that have to do with me?"
Lu Xingchen smiled faintly, "It was you who asked her to get married seven years ago. Now she's divorced, so I thought I'd inform you."
The old lady looked at her and pulled the corner of her mouth sarcastically, "More than 20 years ago, didn't she get married without my approval? Why are you giving her a complete and final marriage now?"
Lu Xingchen: "I just do my job. You should ask my dad about what happened more than 20 years ago."
When the word "my dad" came out, Lu Dingjian on the side couldn't help but said with a sullen face: "Xingchen, you are not a child of our Lu family, you know this very well."
Lu Xingchen looked at him and said, "Uncle, I told you that I only manage the things that I can manage. I have no say over the rest."
Lu Dingjian: "You just came back to show off because your father... Lu Dingsheng still treats you as his daughter?"
Lu Xingchen: "Uncle, you are too kind. It should be because I don't rely on my father that everyone has taken good care of me several times in the past few years, right?"
Lu Dingjian frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Xingchen: "Whether you are talking nonsense or not, why don't you ask Andy first..."
Lu Anti immediately looked at the old lady, "Grandma..."
"Lu Xingchen." Old Madam Lu said in a deep voice, "I asked Andy to do that. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can come to me."
Lu Xingchen turned his gaze to her again without any hesitation, "Then I'll ask grandma, you said at the beginning that as long as my mom married Lu Wenli, you wouldn't embarrass me, why did you go back on your word?"
The old lady put down the spoon in her hand and slowly leaned against the back of the chair. Looking at Lu Xingchen's cold yet sharp expression, she had to admit that this child looked a bit like Lu Dingsheng, especially after several years of training outside, he looked more mature.
"Because, when I think about how your mother took you, a child who is not our Lu family's flesh and blood, and deceived our entire family for so many years, I feel uncomfortable. I think it would be too easy for you to let you go."
"Oh." Lu Xingchen responded with understanding, and asked, "So, on the day my mom was preparing to divorce, you also hired someone to cause a car accident to stop Lu Wenli?"
The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this, and did not answer.
Lu Xingchen continued, "Before that, I had no intention of showing up at the Lu family. Instead, I went to Lu Dingsheng and asked him to let you let us go. But it still didn't stop you from attacking us, right?"
The old lady snorted disdainfully, "If you think so, what does it have to do with me?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Lu Xingchen smiled coldly, "You said these four simple words, but two lives were lost in the process. Should we take the blame for these lives, mother and daughter, or you?"
"Lu Xingchen!" The old lady slammed the table and stood up.
Although Lu Dingsheng was in power in the Lu family, the old lady was the empress dowager. She slammed the table and stood up, scaring everyone present so much that they dared not breathe loudly.
Lu Xingchen then slowly stood up, his tall and straight figure shrouded in a natural aura of dominance. He looked at the old lady with his reserved but sharp eyes and said:
"Since you miss me so much because I didn't go back to the Lu family, and you regret it so much because I didn't call Lu Dingsheng dad, then shouldn't I come back home, grandma?"
