"Grandma, I'm really not feeling well..."
Lu Chengyan tried his best to pretend to be in pain.
Madam Lu, however, didn't buy it and snorted softly, "I watched you grow up, so I can't tell what you're thinking."
Lu Chengyan had no choice but to look at his father for help.
"Mom, it's just a day off. It's no big deal. Chengyan's grades are not bad."
Lu Zhuoran also felt that asking for leave was not a good idea, but his wife's hand on his waist was twisting so hard that it hurt, so he didn't dare to speak up for his son.
It would have been fine if Lu Zhuoran didn't say anything, but once he did, it made Old Madam Lu even angrier.
"It's because you indulge your children that some of them develop vicious hearts."
Lu Zhaoning's expression turned cold.
The old lady really disliked her, and her indirect criticism was too obvious.
"Old lady, who are those evil-hearted children you are talking about?"
Mrs. Lu's face flashed with embarrassment. She didn't expect Lu Zhaoning to ask so directly.
So, she said directly: "Yes, I'm talking about you."
Lu Zhaoning raised his eyes and looked at Madam Lu seriously: "Did I do something against the will of heaven or murder or arson?"
"Have you forgotten what you have done?"
"I really don't know. Either you say it directly or keep it to yourself."
Mrs. Lu lost her appetite when she saw Lu Zhaoning early in the morning, and now she looked even uglier after being contradicted.
"grandmother……"
Meng Zhixia cried out softly.
Mrs. Lu originally didn't want to say it for the sake of her eldest son, but when she saw Meng Zhixia's panicked look, she felt very distressed.
"You've caused Zhixia so much suffering, and you didn't even say sorry. If you're not a vicious person, what is?"
Lu Zhenghe was very dissatisfied. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lu Zhaoning shaking his head at him.
"Grandpa, Dad, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, and my brothers, while everyone is here today, let's sort things out."
"Sister Zhaoning, here's me."
Six-year-old Lu Xiyu spoke in dissatisfaction.
Lu Zhaoning's eyes were gentle for a moment, and he reached out and pinched her soft little face.
"And sister Xiyu."
Lu Xiyu hated being pinched on the cheeks the most, but Lu Zhaoning's movements were very gentle, so she didn't hate it anymore.
"Zhao Ning, what do you want to say?"
Lu Jinbei knew that Lu Zhaoning was not the type to be bullied, and he was also very angry about Madam Lu's partiality.
Lu Zhaoning raised the corner of his mouth nonchalantly, and said slowly: "Brother, don't worry, you will know later."
Looking at Lu Zhaoning's determined look, a smile gradually appeared in Lu Jinbei's eyes.
Lu Zhaoning glanced coldly at Meng Zhixia's face and said calmly, "I haven't thanked you yet, Miss Meng, for making my life so dull and boring, so prosperous because of all the rumors."
"What rumors are you talking about? Zhao Ning, I don't understand what you are saying."
Meng Zhixia blinked her eyes, her expression looking as innocent as possible.
"Let's put aside the rumor-mongering. I just want to ask you, was it me who pushed you?"
Meng Zhixia pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Yes, it is. No, it is no. Is it so difficult to answer?" Lu Zhaoning looked a little impatient.
When Lu Shiyu heard Lu Zhaoning's words, a hint of displeasure flashed through his heart.
She caused Zhixia to be unable to dance anymore, and she didn't even say a word of apology. What trouble does she want to cause now?
"Just ask questions if you want to. Are you trying to threaten Zhixia by being so aggressive?"
Old Madam Lu was very protective of her son and was afraid that Meng Zhixia would be wronged again.
Lu Zhaoning suppressed the coldness in his eyes.
Sometimes she envied Meng Zhixia for having someone who loved and protected her unconditionally.
"Grandma, I'm fine." Meng Zhixia smiled sweetly at Madam Lu, "Zhao Ning, I don't blame you, really. You don't have to take this matter to heart."
Anyone who is not a fool can understand what this means.
Lu Chengyan chuckled twice and said bluntly, "Sister Zhixia, who are you talking to? My sister has already said yes or no. Is it so difficult to answer?"
"Cheng Yan, I didn't mean anything else, you misunderstood me."
Meng Zhixia was almost furious. She had finally found the girl and helped her transfer schools.
As long as Lu Chengyan goes to school, he will come into contact with that girl sooner or later.
I didn't expect that he would pretend to be sick and ask for leave as soon as Lu Zhaoning came back. How hateful!
Damn Lu Chengyan!
Originally, Meng Zhixia still felt a little guilty, but now she has no guilt towards Lu Chengyan at all.
"I can still tell whether it's a misunderstanding or not."
Lu Chengyan didn't mean to make things difficult for Meng Zhixia, but he felt that there was something else behind what Meng Zhixia said and couldn't help but want to confront her.
Meng Zhixia looked somewhat helpless. She met Lu Zhaoning's gaze and said softly, "I can't remember clearly. It's been so long, and my legs can no longer dance."
"I don't blame anyone. Let's just let this matter go. Don't make everyone unhappy because of it, okay?"
What a big and considerate white lotus!
"Since Zhixia has said so, let's not mention this matter again."
When Mrs. Lu received Meng Zhixia's pleading look, she felt angry and tried to let the matter go with great reluctance.
"Old lady, I haven't done anything wrong, but I've been wrongly accused. How can I just let it go like this?"
Meng Zhixia's slightly lowered eyes darkened.
"What do you mean, Zhaoning?"
"If someone wrongfully accuses you, don't try to prove your innocence. Instead, gouge out her eyes, tear out her mouth, and let her go into your stomach to see for yourself whether you are innocent or not."
