Chapter 119 Tired of Living
"From now on, you have absolutely no connection with our family!"
He pointed to the words "sever ties" on the paper, his tone resolute.
Lu Zhonghe immediately nodded in agreement.
“That’s right! And Zhongping and I just decided that we’re not only cutting ties with you, but we’ll also sever all ties with Lu Guizhen, Lu Guizhi, and Lu Fuhua. We’ll not acknowledge anyone else!”
He even raised his voice deliberately when he said this, afraid that someone might bring up old grievances later.
"Sign it right away after you've finished reading, no more nonsense!"
After he finished speaking, he glared at Shen Cuifen fiercely.
If you soften your heart today, you'll be dragged along by the Shen family for the rest of your life.
If you're going to cut ties, you have to cut them off completely.
They know that once family ties are broken, there's no room for lingering resentment.
If you leave yourself with a lingering hope, you might be led by the nose in the future.
If Lu Guizhen and Lu Guizhi get married in the future and are bullied by others...
If they come to our door and cause trouble like the Shen family, we'll beat them up too. What will we do then?
They will never allow this to happen again.
And then there's Lu Fuhua, that little brat, who's only a little over ten years old.
They looked at him without any affection, only seeing him as a burden.
This child will need money for school, medical treatment, and marriage when he grows up. Every single expense could become a burden that crushes them.
How much money can Shen Cuifen earn with three children?
They knew perfectly well that she would eventually give up.
Rather than being pestered for money later, it's better to cut ties completely now.
They are only in their early twenties, the time when they should be starting a family and building a career. How can they carry such a heavy burden for the rest of their lives?
They want to get married, build houses, and have many children.
Don't let others drag down your future.
They exchanged a glance, both understanding each other without saying a word.
As Lu Guizhen listened to Lu Zhonghe's words, her heart felt as if it had been stabbed with a knife.
She never expected that the brother who once carried her to the village entrance to watch a play would say such heartless words.
She and Lu Zhonghe are twins.
She never imagined that one day her own brother would want to sever ties with her like this.
When they were little, they cried and laughed together.
We stole sweet potatoes from the stove together, and got spanked by Dad together.
Lu Zhonghe had made a promise.
"When you grow up, I'll protect you."
But now, that promise has been torn to shreds like paper.
Her eyes were red as she walked step by step to the middle of the road and in front of him.
Lu Zhonghe glanced at her and turned his face away.
Twins?
He sneered inwardly, but his face remained expressionless.
In his eyes, she was no longer his blood-related sister, but a troublesome person who could drag him down for the rest of his life.
Family ties?
In his view, it was something that could be broken with a single sheet of paper.
Just as Lu Zhonghe thought she was about to plead for him.
No one expected that Lu Guizhen would suddenly raise her hand and slap him across the face!
"Smack!"
The sound was crisp and loud, leaving everyone in the room dumbfounded.
It should be noted that Lu Guizhen has always been weak-willed.
She has always been the most inconspicuous person in her family.
Even when she suffered many injustices, she never once resisted.
I've never seen her raise her voice, let alone hit anyone.
But now, she actually took the initiative to attack, and the one she hit was her own brother!
This was the first time Shen Cuifen had ever seen her like this.
She stood there, stunned, staring at Lu Guizhen in shock.
Her eyes held not only anger, but also deep heartbreak and despair.
While everyone was still stunned, Lu Guizhen, still angry, raised her hand and slapped Lu Zhongping hard across the face!
This slap was heavier and more brutal than the previous one, almost using all her strength.
"Smack!"
Another explosion!
Lu Zhongping was slapped so hard he staggered.
He covered his face, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"You two ingrates! From this day forward, I will never acknowledge you as my own!"
Lu Guizhen roared at the two of them, tears streaming down her face.
Lu Zhonghe already had a stiff neck, and this slap made his vision go black, leaving him speechless for a long time.
He pointed at Lu Guizhen, his lips trembling and his voice shaking.
Knowing that his neck was sore, you still slapped him. Isn't that just rubbing salt into the wound?
"Lu Guizhen! You dare hit me? Fine! From now on, I'll pretend you don't exist! Even if you get married and are beaten to death, I won't lift a finger!"
He was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he was almost roaring.
He gritted his teeth and uttered harsh words, wishing he could tear Lu Guizhen to pieces.
Lu Zhongping didn't say anything, he just covered his slapped face, his face so dark it could drip water.
He never imagined that Lu Guizhen, who was always so easily manipulated, would dare to humiliate him in public.
His veins were bulging, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.
He approached Lu Guizhen step by step, his eyes fierce, clearly intending to attack.
Just as Shen Cuifen was about to step forward to stop them, Shen Yongcai and Shen Yong'an had already reacted.
The two exchanged a glance, perfectly in sync, and reacted immediately.
The two rushed forward and stood in front of Lu Guizhen.
Shen Cuifen quickly pulled Lu Guizhen to her side.
Lu Guizhen finally couldn't hold back anymore, threw herself into Shen Cuifen's arms, and burst into tears.
That moment of forcefulness seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
She clung tightly to Shen Cuifen's sleeve, as if she had grasped her only support.
Ultimately, Shen Cuifen is still a person who cherishes old feelings.
She gently patted Lu Guizhen's back, her eyes filled with pity and heartache.
Although she had long seen through the cold-heartedness of Lu Zhonghe and his brothers.
Seeing Lu Guizhen so devastated, she couldn't help but soften her heart.
That blood-is-thicker-than-water kinship, even if it is hurt and riddled with holes, can never be completely severed.
Even knowing that her two sons were ruthless and heartless, she still felt heartbroken when the moment actually came.
She knew they were selfish, greedy, and ungrateful.
How can one not feel pain when one's own flesh and blood are being torn apart?
If she hadn't experienced so much in her past life, she probably would have collapsed like Lu Guizhen.
These experiences taught her to be calm and restrained.
After all, he's his own son...
If one wasn't utterly heartbroken, who would be so ruthless?
She looked down at Lu Guizhen, who was crying in her arms, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Lu Guizhen's decisiveness today is not out of heartlessness, but because she was deeply hurt.
"Lu Zhongping, are you tired of living?!"
Shen Yongcai and Shen Yong'an had gloomy and cold faces.
"Kid! What do you mean? You want to fight?"
Shen Yong'an suddenly took a step forward, staring intently at Lu Zhongping.
Lu Zhongping remained expressionless, standing motionless in place.
He stared coldly at Shen Yongcai and Shen Yong'an for a few seconds.
He did not speak or argue.
He resolutely took out the pre-prepared letter of severance from his bosom and slowly handed it over.
If he weren't so young, he wouldn't be able to match the strength of these two adults at all.
He had long since reached his limit and rushed up to give them a good beating!
But he knew that acting impulsively at this moment would only make things worse.
Shen Yongcai snorted coldly and took the letter severing ties from Lu Zhongping's hand.
Without saying much, he turned around and strode back to Shen Cuifen.
At this moment, Lu Guizhen's emotions had gradually calmed down a bit.
She had been hiding in Shen Cuifen's arms, and her tears had almost all been shed.
