It's been over ten years. Even if they're not related by blood, they should have developed some feelings for each other by now. Why didn't you think that something might have happened to the person who didn't come home?
As a result, the old lady immediately started scolding him and trying to sow discord between him and his son.
No wonder Meng Suqin was willing to have a child herself rather than marry him. She was a pampered young lady in the Meng family, spoiled by her parents and waited on by her maids. If she came to the Lu family, she definitely wouldn't be able to stand that kind of life.
Lu Guozhong took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. Meng Suqin was not Sun Min; she had her own personality and would not come to this house to be bullied by the two elders. He would not leave her in this house to suffer.
He had no desire to say another word to the parents. Since they weren't home, Lu Guozhong was eager to catch Sun Min and had no intention of lingering.
"take away!"
He gave the order and turned to leave.
"Let me go! What are you doing? Dad, why are you grabbing me?"
The three children were being dragged out, struggling desperately and cursing under their breath. Lu Guozhong watched with utter disgust.
Neither the three nephews, nor Meng Fuyan and Meng Yunji, had such a relationship.
Thankfully, this wasn't his biological son; if it were, he would have shot him dead.
The two elderly people couldn't sit still any longer and quickly stopped them, saying, "Are you crazy? This is your son, the one who will inherit the family business in the future. Where are you taking them?"
"Let go of my grandson! If he gets hurt, I'll make you pay with your lives!"
Lu Guozhong was annoyed with the two elders and didn't want to say more. He only said, "Stay at home quietly. These three children are not my biological children. I don't even know whose children they are. I'm going to arrest Sun Min now. You two just stay at home."
Tell them to call the caregiver over and take the two elderly people back home. Leave someone at home to watch over them and prevent them from going out and making a scene.
The three children were stunned when they heard this.
The eldest son reacted the fastest, "Impossible, Dad, I'm your son, my mom would never cheat on me, Dad... umm..."
Before they could finish speaking, a young soldier next to them covered their mouths, gagged all three of them, and pulled them into the car and drove away.
“Sun Min is not at home. Quickly send people to investigate. Search all the places she frequents, send people to the train station, and send people to check all the major roads leading out of Kyoto.”
"yes!"
In Kyoto, right under the emperor's nose, and with Sun Min already registered with the authorities, it wouldn't be easy for her to escape if they really wanted to catch her. So Lu Guozhong wasn't worried about not being able to catch her.
Having stayed at home for over a decade, he was aware of Sun Min's abilities. It was impossible for her to evade the Kyoto military's search; it was only a matter of time before she was caught.
But she didn't come back today. No one was at her workplace, no one was there when the Sun family was arrested, and the Lu family members also unusually didn't come home. Where could she have gone?
Meng Fuyan ate breakfast early in the morning, took the money and tickets her father gave her, and went out to Kyoto, the city with the most antiques. Apart from Shanghai, Kyoto has the most wealthy people in the whole country. Wealthy people like to collect antiques, and Kyoto has a particularly large number of them.
She has plenty of money, but she can never have too many antiques!
So I went to the antique shop early in the morning to pick out some items.
Because of her special status, and because the situation with the Sun family hadn't been completely resolved, Meng Suqin stayed obediently in her hotel room and didn't go out. But even though she didn't go looking for trouble, trouble came looking for her.
Sun Min didn't go anywhere else; she went straight to find Meng Suqin.
The moment the door opened, Meng Suqin was stunned for a second upon seeing the person in front of her, and for a long while, she didn't recognize him.
The person in front of her was Sun Min, of medium height, about 1.65 meters, a few years older than Meng Suqin, and only in her early forties this year.
Meng Suqin hadn't seen her for many years. In her memory, Sun Min was still that spirited, vicious, and pretentious young woman. But she almost didn't recognize her in front of her.
With a slightly hunched back, a thin body, and sparse hair that, though neatly combed, made her look malnourished, her complexion was sallow and her cheeks were thin. She wore a white top and black pants, and at first glance, she looked like an ordinary housewife, her face bearing the marks of hardship and toil.
If this were an ordinary woman, Meng Suqin wouldn't be surprised to see her like this. After all, many women in this era juggle both home and work, taking care of the elderly, serving children, and being busy with their jobs. It's incredibly tough, and it's normal for them to be worn out by life.
But this is Sun Min!
Given the Lu family's circumstances, even if Lu Guozhong disliked her and rarely came home, at least they wouldn't skimp on household expenses. She was still the daughter of the Sun family; surely she shouldn't have fallen to such a state?
She's only four years older than her, but looks a whole generation older; people would believe she's her mother.
Sun Min looked at Meng Suqin with a sinister gaze. Upon seeing how young she was, the resentment in her eyes almost overflowed. Her ordinary attire suddenly took on an eerie quality.
She smiled, her lips slightly pale. "Meng Suqin, how have you been?"
Meng Suqin realized what was happening and rushed forward to push her aside, trying to run outside, but the door was closed and she couldn't open it no matter how hard she tried. It seemed that someone was guarding outside.
Sun Min's sinister laughter echoed from inside the room, "Don't dream about it. I have people guarding outside. You can't escape."
Since she couldn't escape, Meng Suqin stopped worrying about it, turned around to look at Sun Min, and didn't say anything.
Looking at the young and beautiful Meng Suqin, all the hatred in her memory surged up. "You are shameless. Back then, you were like a butterfly, seducing men everywhere. You haven't changed at all after all these years. Lu Guozhong is my husband, and you are still with him. Tell me, are those two bastard children you gave birth to Lu Guozhong's?"
Despite being enemies for years, Meng Suqin wasn't foolish enough to confess anything to her. A smirk played on her lips as she laughed, "What kind of joke is this? My child is a member of the Meng family. What does he have to do with Lu Guozhong? He's always been in the military region, and I've always been in Changning City. How could my child possibly be related to him? Do you think everyone is like you? You're married and still fooling around with other people. Who are your three sons?"
Sun Min's eyes immediately turned red with anger. "You're shameless! You had to steal someone else's man. Don't think I don't know that you're a woman who loves to climb the social ladder and seduce powerful men everywhere. You only fell for Lu Guozhong because you were after his power. A despicable woman like you deserves to die a horrible death!"
Meng Suqin didn't care about her insults at all, and even patiently let her finish. It was good to buy time. Lu Guozhong hadn't caught anyone, so he would definitely search everywhere. The longer she could buy time, the safer she would be.
"Are you after his power and influence? You've worked so hard for so many years but haven't been able to use it, so you're getting angry and embarrassed?"
