Chapter 75 Strange
"Mr. Lu, you have the final say. Now Miss Xu also has something to say. You should give her a chance, right? So that we can distinguish right from wrong!" An elderly voice sounded, and then the archaeological expert Zhang Maocai walked in from outside the door.
The moment Master Lu saw Zhang Maocai, his expression changed slightly, but due to the other party's identity, he had to greet him politely: "It turns out to be Master Zhang, I have heard of you for a long time."
Traveling with Zhang Maocai was Zhou Jing. Many people didn't know him, but Mr. Lu knew him.
When he saw Zhou Jing, his expression became even more unnatural: "You..."
"Mr. Lu is a forgetful man. He doesn't even recognize old friends like us." Zhou Jing smiled with a fake smile. His tone seemed calm, but it actually contained a mystery.
"Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect that you would come to my small birthday party!" Mr. Lu was polite on the surface, but only he knew in his heart how much he didn't want these two leading figures to attend his birthday party.
Zhang Maocai walked to Xu Qingsui and stood beside him. "Xu girl, we are old friends with your grandfather. Based on my understanding of your family tradition, I believe you are not the kind of person who goes back on your word. There must be a reason for breaking off the engagement with the Lu family. Now you can tell us all what the whole story is."
The trusting looks from Zhang Maocai and Zhou Jing gave Xu Qingsui great encouragement. She strode through the crowd's gazes, walked to the main stage of the banquet, turned on her mobile phone, took out the archived photos, and then presented the contents to the world through the projector.
At first, the scene was silent, but as one explicit photo after another was shown, people gradually became more and more interested.
The people in the photos were Lu Jingyu and Gu Rong, holding hands, kissing, hugging, and even one photo of the two of them lying naked on a bed in a hotel...
The content of the photos was so obscene that it was unbearable to look at. Several parents who brought their children covered their children's eyes.
"Xu Qingsui, how dare you take a secret photo of me?" Lu Jingyu was so angry that he rushed onto the stage and wanted to punch Xu Qingsui in the face, and he wanted to destroy the phone in her hand immediately.
At the critical moment, Huo Xilin stood in front of her and easily stopped Lu Jingyu's actions.
Compared to Lu Jingyu's furious appearance, Huo Xilin seemed as steady as a rock. Whether in terms of temperament or image, Lu Jingyu was defeated instantly by Huo Xilin without leaving any trace.
"Where did you come from, you bastard? We didn't invite you to our house, get out right now!" Lu Jingyu shouted at Huo Xilin angrily, and then he punched him again to knock him down.
Huo Xilin held him with one hand, then kicked sideways with his left foot, turned sideways and held his arm, throwing him hard to the ground, then he squatted down calmly and pressed his knee against his chest.
In an instant, Lu Jingyu was unable to move and could only stare with his eyes wide open, wishing he could eat Huo Xilin.
Huo Xilin looked up and nodded at Xu Qingsui, motioning her to continue.
After the photos were played, Xu Qingsui picked up the microphone, blew it and said, "Everyone, please be patient. I believe everyone has seen the content of the photos. It is not that I intend to cancel the engagement. It is because Young Master Lu loves someone else, so I can only choose to fulfill it."
"I am very grateful to Grandpa Lu for raising me, and I will definitely repay him. But Grandpa Lu will not forget the collections that my grandfather entrusted to you during his lifetime. They are the relics that my grandparents left to me and my brother. I believe that you are a man of high character and will keep your promise and return them to us, right?"
Xu Qingsui looked at Mr. Lu in the audience with neither arrogance nor humility.
Mr. Lu's face turned pale and blue, and it was obvious that he was about to bleed from anger. Unfortunately, for the sake of face, he had to pretend to be a noble person in front of others.
Seeing that Master Lu was slow to answer, Zhang Maocai quickly said, "Master Lu, you are also a man of great wealth and status in the upper class. Do you want to swallow up the remains of the Xu couple?"
"Old Man Lu, this is where you are wrong. Although you did a good job in raising the Xu siblings, the relics are only temporarily in your custody. One thing at a time, you can't do anything that goes against your conscience!" Zhou Jing echoed.
Everyone seemed to come to their senses, and their gazes towards the grandfather and grandson of the Lu family also changed.
Some people started to discuss: "This Mr. Lu claimed that he adopted the Xu siblings out of friendship, and verbally said that he didn't ask for anything in return, but now it seems that he wants both, right?"
"Who said it wasn't? I heard that the relics left by the Xu couple are priceless. I'm afraid that the entire Lu family's assets combined are not worth more than one tenth of it. The Lu family sees such a legacy every day, so wouldn't they be tempted?"
"The marriage with Miss Xu is probably just a reasonable excuse to annex the inheritance!"
"Tsk tsk... How terrifying! I never knew the Lu family was such a bunch of people!"
"I heard that the Lu family didn't do serious business before..."
The words became more and more outrageous, and Mr. Lu became so angry that his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.
The farce ended with Mr. Lu being taken away in an ambulance.
As Lu Jingyu left with the ambulance, he said to Xu Qingsui fiercely, "Just wait, we will definitely seek revenge for today. Xu Qingsui, I, Lu Jingyu, swear here that I will never forgive you!"
When the group came out of Lu's house, Xu Qingsui expressed his gratitude to Zhang Maocai and Zhou Jing: "Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Zhou, thank you so much today."
Zhang Maocai shook his head. "You don't have to thank us. It's embarrassing to say that we are old friends with your grandfather. We should have helped you in the beginning. Unfortunately, it was a special period of time. Almost everyone in the antique industry was investigated. We couldn't protect ourselves either. It's strange to say that the Lu family stayed out of this unjust case and still had the energy to protect the inheritance left by your grandparents. It's really strange."
Zhang Maocai's words gave Xu Qingsui a terrible guess.
"Grandpa Zhang, what happened at that time? Can you tell me in detail?" Xu Qingsui asked.
She was too young at that time. She only vaguely remembered that people were coming and going in the house during that period. Her grandparents hurriedly entrusted their things to Mr. Lu. They had just moved all the things away the day before, and a large group of people came the next day and took her and her brother away. They also threw her and her brother out of the house, and then the house was sealed off.
In the days that followed, she and her brother kept wandering around the doorstep, leading a wandering life, until one day, Mr. Lu found them and told them the news that their grandparents had passed away. He then took her and her brother, who was already seriously ill, back to the Lu family to raise them.
