The one who sank Mengya was none other than Lin Qingyan.

Shen Mengya was stunned by Lin Qingyan's slap. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Lin Qingyan, why did you hit me?"

Of course, she also had an instinctive reaction, which was to slap Lin Qingyan in return.

Unfortunately, compared to Lin Qingyan now, she was just a pampered young lady. As soon as she raised her hand, Lin Qingyan easily grabbed it.

Snap!

She was slapped on the other side of her face as well.

Lin Qingyan glared at her: "Why did I hit you? Shen Mengya, do you think I don't know? You secretly called and told the Yi family where Xiao Heng was. You black-hearted woman, you almost killed Xiao Heng. If Xiao Heng had been soft-hearted and gone with them, he might have been ruined. I'm being lenient with you. I wanted to beat you half to death."

Clap clap clap clap!

Several more slaps landed suddenly, almost leaving flower-like marks on Shen Mengya's face.

Shen Mengya was so dizzy from the beating that she quickly hid behind Old Madam Lu for protection.

And he urged Grandma Lu, "Grandma, Grandma, Lin Qingyan hit me, you have to avenge me!"

Grandma Lu couldn't stand seeing Shen Mengya suffer. She was heartbroken to see Lin Qingyan slap Shen Mengya so many times.

She glared at Lin Qingyan angrily, "Mengya is my precious darling. If you dare to hit my Mengya, I won't let you get away with it."

She raised her hand to hit Lin Qingyan, but how could she possibly hit Lin Qingyan?

She was getting old and her hands and feet were not nimble, so Lin Qingyan could easily dodge her.

"Grandma Lu, I'm showing you leniency out of respect. Now, please take your precious granddaughter and leave my house immediately."

Grandma Lu seemed to have suffered a great humiliation, and she stomped her feet angrily.

"They've rebelled! They've rebelled against heaven!"

She rushed to Lin Qingyan again, but Lu Zhengting had already shielded Lin Qingyan behind him.

"Grandma, Shen Mengya bullied my wife first. You should teach Shen Mengya a lesson first."

Grandma Lu wouldn't listen. Instead, she yelled at Lu Zhengting, "Get up! She hit Mengya and showed no respect for her elders. I am her elder, and I must teach her a lesson."

Lu Zhengting shook his head and squinted at Grandma Lu: "Grandma, do you think I would let my wife suffer?"

"You." Old Mrs. Lu then looked at Mr. Lu: "Second son, you saw what happened just now, right? Your daughter-in-law beat Mengya so badly. You should set an example, stand up for Mengya, and teach your daughter-in-law a lesson."

Mr. Lu shook his head as well: "Mom, don't be confused. Mengya got beaten up because she brought it on herself, you can't blame Qingyan. She angered Qingyan first. If we put ourselves in her shoes, I would be angry too if this happened to me."

"You, Mengya, are someone you've watched grow up since you were little. Whose side are you on?"

Mr. Lu raised an eyebrow. "I've told you you're getting senile, yet you still ask such a question. First of all, I'm based on reason, not personal relationships. If you insist on making me differentiate between close and distant relatives, then of course I'll side with Qingyan, who is my daughter-in-law. Compared to Qingyan, what is Mengya?"

"But, but," Old Mrs. Lu said, her teeth chattering with anger, "but Mengya's grandmother saved my life. You've been my uncle for so many years, don't you feel any pity for her at all?"

"You can deal with your savior; it has nothing to do with me."

"It has nothing to do with you?" The old woman was about to vomit blood. "You unfilial descendant, isn't my savior your savior too?"

"Mom, I can tell the difference between close and distant. No matter what kind of benefactor you are, no one is more important than my daughter-in-law."

"So you're saying you won't help me teach Lin Qingyan a lesson?"

Mr. Lu remained silent, indicating his agreement.

"You, you unfilial grandson." The old lady Lu's driver had no choice but to snort heavily. "You and Zheng Ting, you two don't listen to me. I now order you to teach Lin Qingyan a lesson, or I will sever ties with you. If you don't stand up for me, you don't deserve to be my son and grandson."

Lu Zhengting glanced at his father, who remained calm and composed.

He curled his lip: "Fine, I won't do it then. Who do you think cares? Since you want to sever ties, then let's cut ties."

"Wh-what!"

The old lady only wanted to use this excuse to threaten Mr. Lu and Lu Zhengting, but she didn't expect Mr. Lu to agree so heartlessly.

Grandma Lu's anger flared up, and she started scolding Grandpa Lu again, "You're unfilial, you ingrate! You actually said you'd cut ties with me, and you just like that? I raised you all these years for nothing, you heartless bastard!"

“You didn’t raise me; it was my dad who raised me,” Mr. Lu said. “Actually, I’ve known for a long time that I’m not your biological son. My dad found me. From when I was little, you were only nice to your two children and never gave me a kind look. It was always my dad who took care of me.”

Later, I got married and had children. You weren't good to my wife and children, but I didn't care. The only reason I've tolerated you and been filial to you since my father died is because of him. If you behave yourself, I'll take care of you in your old age.

But you've gone too far. You've taken advantage of being an elder to interfere in Zheng Ting's marriage. You've never considered his feelings at all.

You want me to teach Qingyan a lesson so you can break them up yourself. You're heartless towards us, why should we keep giving in to you? From today onwards, let's sever all ties.

The old lady was stunned when she heard what he said.

She never imagined things would develop this way; the second son actually knew everything.
