By the time Xin Yu got back to the Lu family, it was already night time. The living room was quiet. The Lu family members weren't home at this hour, but she didn't think too much about it. When the maid came up to ask if she wanted to eat, Xin Yu politely said she had already eaten before heading upstairs.
Ever since they got married, she had always been the only one living in her and Lu Yihan's room. There was only one big room on this floor. There was also a study and a few guest rooms on the side. However, this floor was only meant for her and Lu Yihan. Lu Yihan wouldn't come back, so this floor was especially quiet.
Xin Yu rubbed her aching temples as she walked towards the room. Just as she reached out to grab the doorknob, before the door could open, her wrist was suddenly pressed down by a force.
She jumped in fright. Before she could react, the force on her wrist suddenly lifted, and her whole body staggered. In the next second, she felt her back stiffen, and her body slammed heavily against the door.
Xin Yu was in so much pain that she felt dizzy. The force on her wrist had already been removed but her chin was forcefully pressed down by someone. She was forced to raise her head. Lu Yihan's arrogant and handsome face was currently filled with a violent storm.
"Lady Lu, you finally know you're back?"
His tone … really sounded like a husband who was jealous of his wife who came home late.
What a pity. They were indeed husband and wife, but there was no such thing as "jealousy". Xin Yu naturally didn't think too highly of herself. She knew all too well that Lu Yihan wasn't angry because of her, but because she didn't give him any face at all at the restaurant entrance today.
Xin Yu reached out and forcefully pushed Lu Yihan's hand away from her chin. She used so much force that Lu Yihan probably didn't expect her to push him away just like that. The depths of his eyes were filled with hostility.
"You've got guts. Do you think you can look down on me now that you're all grown up?"
Xin Yu pursed her lips. She was not afraid of his anger at all. She stubbornly raised her red chin, and her eyes were calm.
"Master Lu, do you need me to respect you? Don't you despise a vain woman like me the most? If I put you in my eyes, wouldn't that be lowering your taste? "
"You —"
Lu Yihan realized that he was no match for her now — when did this woman become so eloquent?!
He was so angry that he sneered, "Good, very good! That mouth of yours is really good at talking! She's also very good at seducing people, huh? Is Qin Fangang your new lover? "
"Then who does Master Lu think is my old lover?" Xin Yu didn't answer but asked a question instead. She pointed at Lu Yihan's angry face and sneered, "You?"
She said the last two words in a completely contemptuous tone.
Lu Yihan wasn't stupid. Of course, he understood what she meant. She was saying, "Do you think you, Lu Yihan, are my old lover? Dream on! You don't like me, and I don't like you either! "
Lu Yihan's face was a little distorted with anger. The moment he raised his hand, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly sounded from behind him. It was Lu Shiyun's voice.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Yihan's hand froze in mid-air. His posture made it look like he was about to hit Xin Yu. Lu Shiyun looked from behind and was so angry that he almost fainted. He strode forward and pushed his son away. "Are you crazy? What are you doing? Ming Han, don't think that you can be so lawless just because your mother dotes on you and I give in to you. If you dare to touch Xin Yu, I will definitely kick you out of the Lu family! "
"What's the matter? Who's making a ruckus outside? "
This time, Li Muhua and Lu Mingting, who were on the third and fourth floors respectively, were woken up. The two women came downstairs in their pajamas. When they saw the commotion, they immediately understood what was going on.
Li Muhua was anxious to protect her son. She immediately stepped in front of Lu Yihan and glared fiercely at Xin Yu. "Why are you being so fierce? You only know how to scold your son. What about this woman? Nothing good ever happens when she comes back. Look at what time it is. She's been wandering around outside the whole day. She came back so late and still quarreled with her husband. This is the kind of daughter-in-law you want! "
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Shiyun frowned and continued to protect Xin Yu.
Li Muhua was even more displeased. She was about to say something when footsteps came from behind them. The few of them turned their heads in unison. Xin Yu also instinctively looked up.
Not far away, at the corner of the stairs, a tall man with a black coat hanging on his arm was walking over with steady steps.
"Ha, the two of you entered the Lu family one after the other. Who are you putting on a show for?" Lu Yihan mocked and ridiculed Qin Fangang as soon as he saw him.
"Ming Han, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't shoot your mouth off all day long! "Lu Shiyun felt a headache coming on.
At the end of the day, there was no son that he didn't have to worry about. Although Qin Fangang kept quiet, he knew very well that this son of his who didn't grow up by his side wasn't as simple as Lu Yihan. He was so deep that even as a father, he felt helpless.
"Am I talking nonsense?" Lu Yihan snorted coldly. His sharp gaze was fixed on Xin Yu, who was standing at the side. His eyes were full of disgust and ridicule. "Dad, why don't you ask this woman? Am I talking nonsense? Has she been with your good son all day long?! "
Lu Shiyun's expression changed. He turned to look at Xin Yu. Seeing her lowered eyelids and tense expression, his eyes flickered. Finally, he raised his head to look at Qin Fangang.
In contrast to Xin Yu's obviously nervous and uneasy expression, Qin Fangang looked indifferent. He had one hand in his trouser pocket. When he heard Lu Yihan's question, he merely raised his brows slightly. His sexy thin lips curved into a lazy but seductive smile. "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't tell me you really think that I would do something shameful with her? "
Xin Yu's heart suddenly raced. She raised her head and met Qin Fangang's gaze. He looked at her with a half-smile. His long and narrow red phoenix eyes seemed to contain some emotions that she couldn't decipher.
Her heart pounded even faster. Her face burned uncontrollably as she looked away frantically.
"That's hard to say!" Li Muhua seized the opportunity to make a fuss. She adjusted her pajamas and stepped forward aggressively. "I believe that Yihan wouldn't frame you for no reason. You've been out all day. Shouldn't you be more mindful of your image? Zi 'an, no matter what, you're Yihan's older brother and the young master of the Lu family. Xin Yu is Yihan's wife. If you're in such an ambiguous relationship with your sister-in-law, aren't you just adding to the Lu family's troubles? "
Xin Yu's face suddenly paled. She subconsciously clenched her fists by her sides.
Actually, she really wanted to refute that she hadn't spent the whole day with Qin Fangang. However, the words "ambiguous relationship" still made her instinctively feel guilty.
She and Qin Fangang weren't just in an ambiguous relationship. They were also …
She gently bit her lower lip. Such a small action showed her uneasiness.
"Now you're admitting that I'm the young master of the Lu family."
Qin Fangang didn't answer the question. His deep gaze swept across Xin Yu's face. His well-defined fingers lightly tapped the corridor's handrail as though he didn't have the patience to continue the conversation with them. "I'm not interested in explaining this kind of thing. If you're suspicious, why don't you send someone to investigate and see if we've been together all day doing the things that you're imagining?"
After he finished speaking, he shook the jacket on his wrist and walked past everyone to his room.
"He's sleeping here?"
Lu Shiyun's face darkened. "There aren't any rooms on the third and fourth floors for Zi 'an to sleep in. He chose this room himself." He glanced at Xin Yu. Seeing that her face was a little pale, he reached out and patted her shoulder to comfort her. "Xin Yu, don't take what just happened to heart. Go back and rest first. When you wake up tomorrow, come and find me. I have something to tell you."
The farce that Lu Yihan had created was left unsettled just like that. Qin Fangang's attitude clearly made the valiant and high-spirited "enemy" feel like he had punched cotton. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't muster up any strength.
After Lu Shiyun asked Xin Yu to rest, Li Muhua and Lu Mingting had nothing else to watch and left in embarrassment.
Only Lu Yihan remained standing in the same spot. He didn't leave in a hurry like he usually did. His handsome face was dark and unreadable. No one knew what he was thinking.
Lu Shiyun stepped forward. After thinking it over, he still said patiently, "Minghan, I know that you can't accept Zi 'an's sudden return. You also found it hard to accept when I asked you to marry Xin Yu five years ago. However, some things are already the truth, so we should accept them calmly. In the five years that Xin Yu wasn't in C City, you've done many ridiculous things. I've never reprimanded you. Now that she's back, you should restrain yourself a little. No matter what, she's still your wife. "
"… And Zi 'an, no matter how unwilling you are to accept it, he's still your older brother. Starting tomorrow, he'll go to the Lu Clan. Zi 'an has very good business skills. Now that the Lu Clan is facing internal and external troubles, Minghan, I hope you can be more mature and help your older brother. "
"Older brother?" Lu Yihan snorted coldly. His arrogant and handsome face was full of ridicule. "When did I acknowledge that man as my older brother? I don't have an older brother. You want that son, right? Don't worry, I won't stop you. You want to give the Lu Clan to him, right? If you give it to him, I'll leave the Lu Clan tomorrow! "
"Minghan, what nonsense are you talking about? I've never thought of depriving you of a foothold in the Lu Clan. You're brothers. Blood is thicker than water … "
"Stop talking!"
Lu Yihan interrupted Lu Shiyun impatiently. His eyes were filled with hostility. "Brother, when have you ever considered my feelings? Do I have to acknowledge him as my older brother just because he said so? Do I have to acknowledge a woman who was shoved into my hands five years ago? What do you take me for? "
Lu Minghan, who had always been arrogant and frivolous, actually trembled when he said the last few words.
Before he completely lost control of his emotions, he abruptly clenched his fist and viciously punched the wall beside him. Then, without waiting for Lu Shiyun to say anything else, he turned and walked towards the stairs.
Lu Shiyun watched his son's back as he hurriedly left. He couldn't help but reach out and press his hand to his chest. His heart was aching faintly —
