Chapter 55 The scheming woman stirs things up again, and the two break up and start arguing.

"Lu Yizhou, can't you speak properly?" Shi Yu's delicate face was stern, and her tone was cold. "My daughter and I are defenseless. They came to our door in numbers, robbing and grabbing us. What could I do?"

"Bite them to death?"

"Besides, we don't have anyone who can speak up for us in crucial moments."

When Shi Yu uttered that last sentence, even he himself didn't realize that it had subtly taken on a different meaning.

Lu Yizhou frowned.

His good intentions were met with ingratitude, and he was inexplicably rebuffed, so he became unhappy as well. "Shi Yu, are you on fire?"

"So ungrateful?"

"Who doesn't know what's good for them? Lu Yizhou, you're questioning me, and I'm supposed to put on a smiling face for you?" Shi Yu retorted defiantly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was changing and a fight was about to break out, Huang Ying and Jin Lao's eyelids twitched suddenly.

The two quickly stepped forward, each pulling one of them.

"Alright, Yu Yu, let's stop talking now."

After comforting Shi Yu, Huang Ying looked at Lu Yizhou and explained, "Lu Yizhou, I'm sorry, Yu Yu is in a bad mood because she was locked up for two days, it's not because of you."

"Lu Yizhou, what's wrong? You're a grown man!" Old Jin grabbed Lu Yizhou while giving him a light punch. "Can't you express yourself properly?"

"Honestly, you were just trying to show you care, but the way you said it all came out of your mouth was so twisted!"

"Mother! Don't tell him."

Who cares about her?

The two spoke almost in unison.

Ignoring Huang Ying and Jin Lao's attempts to mediate, Shi Yu and Lu Yizhou refused to back down, their powerful gazes clashing in the air.

As they strained against each other, sparks flew everywhere.

My emotions are a jumbled mess.

Huang Ying and Jin Lao were completely overwhelmed.

Standing at the door, Shi Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she saw this scene.

She quickly turned and ran back into the house, where she found a handkerchief under her pillow.

White fabric with blue trim around the edges.

A pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water were also embroidered on it.

She had specially embroidered this handkerchief for Lu Yizhou, but she hadn't found a suitable opportunity to give it to him before.

Now, the opportunity has arrived.

Holding the handkerchief in her hand, Shi Jiaojiao ran out excitedly.

"Lu Yizhou, thank you so much for helping me just now. You really are my hero." Shi Jiaojiao rushed up to Lu Yizhou, her face flushed with shyness.

"Oh, right, this is a handkerchief I embroidered especially for you. Now I can finally give it to you!"

As she handed over the handkerchief, Shi Jiaojiao deliberately turned the pattern over.

At the same time, he gave Shi Yu a provocative glance.

Lu Yizhou didn't even glance at Shi Jiaojiao; his deep, intense gaze was fixed solely on Shi Yu's small face.

Shi Yu, however, glanced at it.

Her pupils narrowed.

At this moment, the sight of the pair of mandarin ducks bathing together so tenderly was quite jarring.

"Who knows what might happen to you!"

Shi Yu, who was already in a bad mood, lost even more patience. She pushed Shi Jiaojiao away, threw down those words, and strode away.

"Fish, wait for Mom!"

Huang Ying chased after her.

"Ah!" Shi Jiaojiao was just worried about not having a chance to get close to Lu Yizhou, and now, with Shi Yu's push, she leaned against him softly.

Who knew...

Lu Yizhou disgustedly dodged to the side.

"Ouch!" Shi Jiaojiao lost her balance and fell flat on her face.

"Mr. Jin, let's go!"

"good!"

Lu Yizhou didn't even glance at Shi Jiaojiao, completely ignoring her, and then left with Elder Jin.

In order to maintain her beautiful image in front of Lu Yizhou, Shi Jiaojiao immediately thought of getting up.

She wasn't prepared at all when she fell. Her posture was wrong, so she not only got a mouthful of mud, but also accidentally twisted her wrist.

It struggled twice but couldn't get up.

Left with no other choice, she had to bite the bullet and ask Lu Yizhou for help.

"Lu...Lu Yizhou, help...help me!"

"It hurts so much!"

But then, all was quiet.

"Huh? What's going on?" Shi Jiaojiao looked up with difficulty.

The courtyard was empty; there was no sign of Lu Yizhou anywhere.

Lu Yizhou must have been embarrassed to help her because there were outsiders present.

hateful!

They actually wasted this great opportunity.

...

Shi Yu walked forward with a sullen face, forgetting that Huang Ying was still behind him.

"Yuyu, wait for your mother!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yu paused for a moment.

Huang Ying finally caught up and grabbed her hand, saying, "Okay, Yu Yu, let's not have any more children."

"Who said I'm angry? I'm not angry at all!" Shi Yu pursed her lips.

"Heh!" Huang Ying laughed out loud. She reached out and affectionately rubbed Shi Yu's cheek. "You said you weren't angry, but look at yourself now, your little face is all puffed up with anger."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yu was stunned.

She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face.

Are my emotions really fluctuating that much?

That shouldn't be happening!

As a person from the future world, she has experienced too many people and events, and witnessed too much of the fickleness of human nature, so she is no longer easily disturbed.

After thinking it over carefully, Shi Yu quickly came up with a suitable reason: "The reason I'm angry is because Lu Yizhou is also blind, just like Lin Zhicheng, a complete idiot."

“Lu Yizhou is not the same as that heartless Lin Zhicheng…”

"Alright, Mom, let's not talk about him anymore." The more Shi Yu dwelled on the topic of Lu Yizhou, the angrier she felt.

My chest feels tight, a feeling I can't quite describe.

So she quickly changed the subject.

"Look! Mother, isn't that Mr. Yu?"

Following the direction Shi Yu pointed, Huang Ying looked over.

It is indeed Mr. Yu.

At this moment, he was standing face to face with Jiang Haiwang.

However, Mr. Yu had his hands in his pockets and didn't look too good. He was arguing with Jiang Haiwang about something.

The mother and daughter walked over.

As they drew closer, they finally heard their conversation.

“Jiang Haiwang, how many times have I told you? Detaining someone is an abuse of power and a crime. As the person in charge of Black Mountain Island, you cannot stand idly by.”

"Now you come with me to the Shi family and release them."

Just now, after watching Shi Yu show off his power and then act like a grandson in front of Jin Lao, Jiang Haiwang was feeling quite annoyed.

Nowadays, there are still people eagerly walking into the line of fire.

"Who do you think you are! Who gave you the right to come here and give orders? Have you eaten too much salt? Are you feeling bloated?" Jiang Haiwang put his hands on his hips, his expression fierce.

"you……"

Their eyes met, and Mr. Yu was stunned.

He stared in astonishment at the hideous face before him, utterly bewildered.

The person in charge of Heishan Island!

He is, after all, a leader of a region. Even if he is not capable enough, he should not act like a thug.

What are you glaring at me for?

Perhaps it was Mr. Yu's gaze that was too direct, but Jiang Haiwang's eyes grew increasingly gloomy.

He took a vicious step forward.
