Chapter 189 Brother Lu is set up
Beijing City
As Brother Lu was led to the compound by his father's bodyguard, his inner tension grew stronger and stronger.
I felt as if a huge rock was pressing on my heart, and I was at a loss.
He knew that if he went back, he would inevitably get a beating.
Mr. Lu, sitting on the sofa, heard footsteps and looked up to see that only his eldest brother was there.
He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Where is your mother?"
Brother Lu's breath hitched, and his hand clenched instinctively at his side.
"Huh? You're mute?"
Brother Lu's throat bobbed up and down, and he whispered, "Mom's going to Kunming..."
A slap landed.
Before Lu's older brother could finish speaking, his father raised his hand and slapped him across the face.
He shouted sternly, "Kneel down."
Brother Lu's cheeks instantly swelled up as he heard his father's angry rebuke.
With a "thump," he knelt straight down next to the coffee table in the living room.
"Snap"
The rattan cane landed heavily on Brother Lu's back, causing a sharp pain.
He gritted his teeth and stared intently at the file folder on the table, trying to distract himself from the pain.
Father Lu showed no pity, wielding the rattan cane incessantly, each strike leaving a purple and a blue mark on Brother Lu's body.
Brother Lu trembled all over from the beating, groaning in pain, his voice hoarse and choked with sobs: "Dad, your son was wrong."
Standing in the center of the living room, Mr. Lu exuded a chilling aura: "You're more trouble than you're worth."
He threw down the rattan cane, walked to the sofa, sat down, and pointed to the file folder on the coffee table: "Open it and see for yourself."
Upon hearing this, Brother Lu was about to stand up.
"Kneel down! Who told you to stand up?"
Upon hearing his father's reprimand, Brother Lu reflexively knelt down on both knees with a thud.
When he reached for the file folder on the coffee table, he aggravated the wound on his back, causing him to gasp in pain.
Open the file and review the investigation materials and testimonies.
Brother Lu's face gradually turned pale, his eyes widened slowly, filled with disbelief.
He suddenly looked up at his father, who was sitting on the sofa: "This is impossible."
Mr. Lu didn't even lift his eyelids, always feeling that if he looked at his eldest son, he would doubt whether he was his child.
Absolutely stupid as a pig
"Dad, why are you slandering Fang Yi?" Brother Lu shouted, as if only in this way could he be convinced that he was right.
"shut up!"
Mr. Lu's voice was deep and powerful, which made Mr. Lu dare not speak.
"These are all their testimonies, as well as that woman's testimonies. It's your spouse who conspired with outsiders to frame you."
Brother Lu lowered his head and eyes, tightly clutching the folder in his hand, and shook his head, saying, "How could this be? We're husband and wife."
How could he believe what he had endured for the past month?
He was constantly on edge, overwhelmed by guilt towards Fang Yi and the fear in his heart.
Now tell him that it was a scheme orchestrated by Fang Yi, Brother Fang, and that woman.
After receiving a call from his youngest son this morning, Mr. Lu instructed his guards to immediately investigate why his eldest son needed so much money.
He was shocked when he investigated.
After learning that Lu's mother had lent so much money to her family, Fang Yi became greedy and devised a plan with her brother Fang to set a trap.
It was all for the purpose of obtaining more and more continuous benefits from the Lu family.
Mr. Lu watched as his eldest brother slumped to the ground, his eyes lifeless.
He scoffed, "Has your brain been eaten by a pig? You actually believe that money can solve everything?"
"Why did she do this to me?" Brother Lu's tone was full of confusion and anger.
Mr. Lu looked at him coldly, finding the question utterly ridiculous.
During this sensitive period, even the slightest bit of self-interest can cause fathers and sons to turn against each other, and children to betray their parents.
Not to mention the daughter-in-law who wanted to take all the family's property for herself.
"I'll give you two choices."
Brother Lu looked at his father, waiting for him to continue.
"Your first choice is to get a divorce. I'll help you resolve this matter."
“I’m separating from your mother. You’ll take your mother and Miaomiao to support the Northwest and start from scratch.”
Upon hearing this, Brother Lu straightened his back, ignoring the pain in his back, and shouted loudly, "I'm not going."
The environment in Northwest China is harsh, with a shortage of water and food; even if you have money, there's nowhere to spend it.
Starting over would mean a low salary, not even enough to support himself, let alone Miaomiao and Lu's mother.
Mr. Lu glanced at his eldest son and snorted coldly, "Your second option is not to get a divorce. You can handle this matter yourself."
After saying that, she suddenly took the documents and statements from his hand, and slowly and methodically put them into a folder.
“I’ll divorce your mother and let her live with you. After all, she’s been biased for so many years, surely her biased son won’t be unfilial.”
His father labeled him an unfilial son, making it impossible for him to refuse.
"Dad, you're forcing me."
Mr. Lu glanced at his watch. He still had military affairs to attend to and didn't have much time to waste on his elder brother, Lu.
She stood up, her brows furrowed, and looked at her eldest son, who was barely kneeling: "I'll give you one night to think it over."
After saying that, he walked straight past her and went upstairs.
"By the way, do you know why Brother Fang took photos? It's to leave evidence so he can threaten you whenever he needs money."
Brother Lu watched as his father, who had uttered those words at the corner of the second floor, turned and disappeared. He laughed and cried at the same time, muttering, "You all forced me to do this."
He staggered to his feet and walked towards the door. His father said he had given him two choices, but in reality, there was only one path to take.
That means leaving Beijing for the remote Northwest, where it's uncertain whether I'll ever be able to return.
A crimson glint flashed in Lu Huailin's eyes. Why did he want a divorce? He wanted to torment Fang Yi for the rest of her life.
...
Fang Yi heard the knocking and knew that Brother Lu had returned, so she happily ran to open the door.
"Does Dad allow us to go back to live here?"
Brother Lu lowered his eyes and said coldly, "What do you think?"
Fang Yi didn't notice anything wrong with his voice. She happily ran back to her bedroom to start packing her things, complaining, "Finally, I don't have to cook for myself anymore."
Brother Lu stood behind Fang Yi, listening to her complain that her hands were rough from cooking and no amount of face cream could fix them.
A sarcastic smile played at the corners of his lips.
How heartless she must be to pretend nothing happened and enjoy the conveniences her family brings her.
Suddenly, Brother Lu covered Fang Yi's head with the blanket and, before she could react, began punching her repeatedly, making her scream in pain.
"Waaah..."
Fang Yi sobbed under the covers, struggling and crying as she yelled, "Lu Huaixu, what's wrong with you?"
Brother Lu didn't say anything, but held down her struggling body and punched her wherever he could until she gradually stopped making a sound before he let her go.
