"Enough!!!" Lu Yunsheng roared in fury.
Lu Jingyao and Zhao Xiuying were incredibly smug at that moment.
They didn't find a chance to humiliate Lu Zhiwei, but someone else stepped in to help them.
Faced with the criticism and pointing fingers of the crowd, and the constant jeers and mockery from all around, the sounds were harsh and unpleasant.
Lu Zhiwei smiled bitterly.
She thought that even if the man sleeping next to her didn't love her, he should still have some humanity.
But it seems that the word "person" cannot be found in his dictionary at all.
Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Lu Zhiwei looked at Shen Jingmo, her beautiful face cold and aloof: "Mr. Shen, do you really think that I became your bedmate because I like you? Is it because you have a bad temper, or because you're a scumbag? Neither... I'm here to obtain the Shen family's business secrets. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
With just one sentence, Lu Zhiwei reversed her disadvantaged position.
If he's determined to fight to the death, she'll go all the way.
Nobody will have an easy time.
Shen Jinmo stood frozen in place, his hands clenched into fists. His icy face, which had remained unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, was crumbling away bit by bit.
"My daughter, you're so foolish! When has the Lu family ever needed you as a sacrifice for the group? Our Lu family is no worse than the Shen family. You two should get a divorce now. Let's part amicably!" Lu Yunsheng sighed mournfully, feeling not only guilty but also heartbroken for his daughter.
"Did you hear that, Mr. Shen? Let's get a divorce. Stop nagging each other; it'll only exhaust us both." Divorce was what he wanted, but he was the one who kept putting it off.
After all the commotion, no one can expect a dignified ending.
After a moment, Shen Jinmo seemed to have figured something out. He pursed his thin lips and chuckled, his face colder than a ghost.
"You didn't take the Shen family's secrets for nothing. Since you've already taken them, be prepared to pay for them for the rest of your life."
After speaking, Shen Jinmo turned and left. When he reached the villa entrance, his tall figure suddenly stopped. He turned back and gave Lu Yunsheng a sinister look: "Father-in-law."
"Keep yelling, keep yelling!" A few words of "father-in-law" brought out Lu Yunsheng's psychological trauma.
Given his advanced age, his blood pressure spiked, and he almost couldn't catch his breath, nearly passing out.
That brat from the Shen family, he really has no manners!
In real business battles, defeating the opponent doesn't seem to require sophisticated tricks and deceit; all it takes is a simple, unremarkable "Father-in-law."
The banquet eventually came to a hasty end.
Lu Yunsheng was taken back to his room, where the family doctor came to take his blood pressure. He took his blood pressure medication and lay down, with Zhao Xiuying staying by his bedside to take care of him the whole time.
Lu Zhiwei did not go in to visit him again, fearing that it would cause his blood pressure to spike again.
He glanced at the door from outside and then prepared to go back inside.
Lu Jingyao deliberately stopped her at the top of the stairs, and said domineeringly, "Look at how angry you've made Dad as soon as you got back? Little sister, it's not that I'm trying to teach you a lesson, but you're so insensible. Who is Shen Jinmo? He's the spoiled brat who almost burned down our Lu family ten years ago. Why did you have to marry him of all people?"
“What’s wrong with marrying him? Marrying him saved the Lu family three years of rice and brought back a lot of Shen family’s trump cards for the Lu family. What about you? Besides eating, shopping, and drinking tea with those socialites, what have you done for the Lu family these past few years? The Lu family only needs one parasite.”
Lu Zhiwei raised her red lips, her beautiful eyes filled with disdain.
Called a parasite, Lu Jingyao immediately broke down: "Lying under someone's body to earn dignity, how is that any different from a prostitute? Lu Zhiwei, at least I'm cleaner than you. You're just as cheap as your mother."
"Slap!" Lu Zhiwei slapped hard across the face without hesitation.
She can tolerate being insulted for three seconds, but if you insult her mother, she can't tolerate it for even a second.
Lu Jingyao's face instantly swelled up with five finger marks.
"Lu Zhiwei! How dare you hit me? You little beggar who came back from abroad, you rude shrew, you deserve to be punished by Shen Jinmo and have your home attacked." Lu Jingyao covered her face and burst into tears.
She cried loudly, as if afraid that no one in the entire Lu family villa would hear that Lu Zhiwei had hit her.
Lu Zhiwei had the same idea as her.
She was afraid no one in the entire villa could hear her; she was disciplining that bastard!
"Slap!" Another slap came.
Lu Jingyao tried to dodge, only to find that she couldn't. Lu Zhiwei's attacks were extremely fast, and her palms seemed to have a built-in positioning function, firmly locking onto Lu Jingyao's smooth and fair face.
Upon hearing the crying, Zhao Xiuying rushed to the stairwell with the housekeeper and servants.
"Weiwei, why did you hit Yaoyao? She respects you, loves you, and welcomed you home. How could you treat her like this?" Taking advantage of Lu Yunsheng's sleep, Zhao Xiuying felt that she was now in charge of the family and suddenly felt emboldened to stand up for her biological daughter.
"I didn't hit her, I was swatting mosquitoes for her. My sister is really something, she's not likable but mosquitoes like her."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Where did this mosquito come from! You clearly did it on purpose..." Lu Jingyao pointed at her and roared, her cheeks, which had been slapped, were now swollen symmetrically.
He hadn't finished speaking.
Lu Zhiwei opened her fair palm.
Lu Jingyao was stunned when she saw what was in her hand.
In Lu Zhiwei's palm, there really were two flattened "mosquito" corpses of different sizes, with bloodstains all over them.
Even though Zhao Xiuying wanted to stand up for her daughter, she was silenced. Lu Jingyao was speechless and couldn't even tell if Lu Zhiwei had really hit her or just swatted a mosquito.
"Sister, next time don't wear perfume, spray some floral water instead to cover up the stench. It's not always my turn to swat the mosquitoes for you. I'm going back to my room to sleep, goodnight."
Lu Zhiwei turned around, rolled her eyes, went into her room, and slammed the door shut.
