As they were talking, Mo Han stayed for lunch. During the meal, Mo Han's eyes were always on Luo Yu.
"Come on, Boss Mo, eat more. I'm so sorry. I didn't expect you to come today, so we'll just have some home-cooked meals." Liu Fang took the initiative to pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and gave it to Mo Han.
"It's okay, auntie. I think the food you cook is delicious." Mo Han picked up the sweet and sour pork ribs and put them in his mouth.
Sweet and sour spare ribs are Liu Fang's specialty, but since she always likes sour things, the sourness is a bit strong. Mo Han, on the other hand, dislikes sour dishes the most. Seeing Mo Han calmly devour the dishes Liu Fang enthusiastically offered him, Luo Yu felt relieved. This time, Mo Han was completely unassuming. However, seeing his mother so welcoming to Mo Han, Luo Yu felt a little sour. It really felt like the son being sold off, with the mother helping count the money.
After lunch, when Mo Han walked into Luo Yu's room, he saw the jade pendant with a red rope and cracks on the surface that he had placed on the bedside table. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He was about to pick it up, but then his hand stopped in mid-air and he retracted it.
The four of them were enjoying their tea when the doorbell rang urgently. Luo Yu got up to open the door, and outside was actually Luo Zhaoguo and the others.
"Oh, everyone is drinking tea, second sister-in-law. I don't want to criticize you, but when you see us distinguished guests coming, don't you take the initiative to pour a cup of tea?" As soon as Luo Zhaoxing came in, he sat down on the sofa and shouted at Liu Fang in a disrespectful manner.
Her daughter, Xia Meili, also sat next to Luo Zhaoxing and said to Liu Fang, "That's right, Second Auntie. They came here in the middle of the day in the hot sun and couldn't even get a sip of water. Your hospitality is really terrible."
Although Luo Zhaoqiang and Luo Tong didn't say anything, they sat there like big bosses.
Liu Fang rolled her eyes and just sat there, drinking her tea quietly without saying anything. Luo Zhaoguo didn't say anything either, and Mo Han treated them as if they were invisible.
Only Luo Yu took action, walking into the kitchen and bringing out four glasses of water. Mo Han saw this and quickly went over to help, taking the tray from Luo Yu and placing it on the table.
When Xia Meili saw the stern Mo Han, her eyes lit up and she asked, "Who is this?"
"My friend." Luo Yu replied indifferently.
Originally, Xia Meili was very interested, but when Luo Yu mentioned that he was his friend, she didn't know what she thought of, but after showing a disdainful expression, she lost interest.
Luo Zhaoxing picked up a glass of water and said to Luo Yu, "That's right. Don't think you're so great just because you got the top score. I'm your elder after all, so it's only natural that you should pour me a glass of water. Besides, these top scorers aren't worth much these days. After graduation, they're just ordinary workers. So, Luo Yu, there's nothing to be proud of just because you got the top score."
After saying that, Luo Zhaoxing muttered again: "You can't even afford a cup of tea, no wonder you have always been a poor guy." After taking a sip of water, Luo Zhaoxing spat it all out with a "puff".
Luo Zhaoqiang almost vomited. Xia Meili and Luo Tong wanted to drink, but when they saw Luo Zhaoxing like this, they quickly put down the cups in their hands.
"What kind of water is this?" Luo Zhaoxing took out a tissue and wiped the faded lipstick on her lips while questioning Luo Yu.
"Tap water." Luo Yu said innocently, "Haven't you all been complaining about our poor quality tea, our hot water, our mineral water, and our unpalatable drinks? So this time, I'll just give you tap water. It's all natural, with no additives, so I think it should meet your expectations."
"You..." Luo Zhaoxing pointed at Luo Yu and cursed loudly, "You little bastard, what did your parents teach you? You actually poured tap water for us to drink. You want to give us diarrhea, right? I think you have a black heart."
Luo Zhaoguo slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying, "We are Xiaoyu's parents. How we raise her is our business. You are not qualified to judge here. As for the question of who has a black heart, I think some people know best."
In all these years, this was the first time Luo Zhaoxing had seen Luo Zhaoguo so angry. She was completely shocked. Compared to Luo Zhaoxing, Luo Zhaoqiang was not afraid of Luo Zhaoguo.
"What's your attitude towards this matter? As elders, can't we speak for the younger generation?"
Luo Zhaoguo has decided not to tolerate it any longer. If he remains indifferent even when his own child is being scolded in front of him, then he is not qualified to be a father.
"Just like Xiaoyu said before, if the elders don't behave like elders, how can they have the right to teach the younger ones. If you are polite, I will call you brother and sister. If you are not polite, then you are just strangers with blood ties. No, you should be enemies, right? Strangers won't come to my door early in the morning to ask for money for no reason, and then go crazy if they don't get it." Luo Zhaoguo spoke without any scruples, and he was about to tear his face apart.
"Okay, since you don't consider us relatives anymore, then we won't be polite. The market value of your shop is now four million. With your family's financial situation, you can't afford to buy that shop at all. You must have swallowed up the property left by your parents, otherwise, how could you have the money to sell the shop?" Luo Zhaoqiang said bluntly.
Luo Zhaoxing also stood up. "Brother is right. Since this is the property left by our parents, then we have a share too. Why did you take it all? Anyway, I don't care. We can give up the shop, but you have to give our two families a total of three million."
"And mine, my grandpa and grandma's inheritance, I also have a share." Xia Meili couldn't wait to get a share.
"My share must also be included." Luo Tong was not willing to be left behind.
After watching and listening for so long, Mo Han wanted to stand up when he heard Luo Zhaoxing scolding Luo Yu, but Luo Yu held him back. Luo Yu didn't need to say a word; Mo Han could tell from his eyes that Luo Yu didn't want him to interfere in their family affairs. But now that he heard that it was the store he had given to the Luo family that had caused the trouble, Mo Han felt that he had to stand up this time.
"No need, I can do it myself." Luo Yu knew what Mo Han wanted to do at the first moment and stopped him.
Mo Han looked at Luo Yu deeply, "Are you sure?"
Luo Yu nodded firmly, "OK."
"Okay." Although Mo Han was a domineering person, he would respect Luo Yu's decision. He knew that the person he liked would not be so weak as to not know how to fight back when being bullied.
"Grandpa and grandma did leave behind a lot of inheritance." Luo Yu suddenly said.
Everyone looked at him. Luo Zhaoguo and Liu Fang looked at Luo Yu in surprise. It was obvious that the two old people did not leave any inheritance before they died, so why did their son say that?
"Ha, see, I told you there must be one." Luo Zhaoxing smiled proudly.
Luo Yu sneered, "Yes, there is, but it is not in our hands. The inheritance left by grandpa and grandma is in the hands of my uncle and aunt."
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did your grandparents leave us any inheritance?" Luo Zhaoqiang actually felt a little guilty when he said this.
"They have been living with you all the time, but you have become so obsessed with them that you even talk about leaving us an inheritance. You are trying to thief cry thief, right?" Luo Zhaoxing was not willing to be outdone.
Luo Yu crossed his arms, his eyes flashing with a terrifying light. "Really? It seems you won't admit it unless I point it out. The gold earrings on my aunt's ears, I remember grandma told me that they were the betrothal gift grandpa gave to grandma when she got married. The jade bracelets on my aunt and cousin Xia's wrists look familiar too. Aren't they the pair my mom gave to grandma? I remember grandma loved them so much that she always wore them and refused to take them off. She wore them until she passed away."
Liu Fang carefully looked at the jade bracelets on Luo Zhaoxing and Xia Meili's wrists and said, "Yes, they are the pair I gave to Mom."
Luo Zhaoxing and Xia Meili put their hands behind their backs. Xia Meili raised her chin and said in a somewhat weak tone, "What? This jade bracelet was bought by my father for me and my mother. These jade bracelets are all similar. What makes you say that this is a gift from your mother to your grandmother?"
"Grandma has been dead for so long, and you still remember what these jewelry of hers looked like? Just brag!" Luo Tong interrupted.
Seeing them vehemently denying it, Luo Yu didn't get angry. "The earrings and jade bracelet are both engraved with grandma's name. My aunt and cousin won't say that you engraved them there specifically to commemorate grandma, right?"
Luo Zhaoxing and Xia Meili paled when they heard Luo Yu say this. They hadn't really paid attention to it. But seeing how confidently Luo Yu spoke, it must have been engraved in a very secret place, so they hadn't noticed it.
"Yes... so what? I miss my grandma, so I engraved her name on it. Isn't that okay?" Xia Meili argued loudly.
"Pfft..." Luo Yu smiled. The smile on his face was like a plum blossom blooming in the cold winter, extremely charming, but also with a biting coldness that froze people. When he looked at Xia Meili and the others, his eyes were full of irony. "In fact, the bracelet and earrings don't have grandma's name engraved on them at all."
"What, you're going to blow us up?" Xia Meili and Luo Zhaoxing hurriedly checked the bracelet, and sure enough, there was nothing on it.
Luo Yu snorted coldly, "Miss grandma? Everyone has the right to say that, except you. Don't you think you are all rich? Why didn't you give grandpa and grandma a penny in support when they were still alive, and you only saw them once or twice a year? You can abandon your own biological parents, you can go against your conscience and go on a happy family trip when the two old people are sick and need care. You can go to the hospital and make a scene before the two old people pass away, trying every possible way and using every possible means, just to get the two houses as compensation for the demolition. But we can't. It can be said that you are the culprits who caused the death of grandpa and grandma."
Thinking of the love and care the two elders had shown him before they passed away, and their love and care for him, Luo Yu's eyes became moist. "The antique vase in the center of my uncle's living room was given to him by my grandfather's friend. Before he died, my grandfather said he would leave the vase with my father, but my uncle snatched it away. A month ago, my uncle sold the vase and made a lot of money, right? My aunt also sold the other jewelry that came with my grandmother's dowry. Aren't those also my grandfather and grandmother's inheritance? Why didn't my uncle and aunt give any to our family?"
Luo Zhaoqiang and Luo Zhaoxing did not expect that Luo Yu knew all these things, and they were extremely shocked.
"Nonsense, my dad wouldn't do that, shut up." An excited Luo Tong rushed towards Luo Yu with a punch. Mo Han immediately stood up, but when he saw Luo Yu's next move, he stopped.
Luo Yu leaned to the side, but his feet stayed where they were on purpose. As a result, Luo Tong, who was rushing too fast, was tripped by Luo Yu's feet. With a "bang", he fell to the ground. His teeth hit his lower lip, and bright red blood immediately flowed from his lips. His hand also hit the marble table next to him when he fell. He fell to the ground, holding his hand and wailing in pain.
"Oh, it hurts, Dad, my hand is broken..."
Luo Zhaoqiang was shocked when he heard this. He loved his only precious son the most, so he didn't care about the inheritance issue at all. He immediately ran over to help Luo Tong up and said, "Don't be afraid, son. Dad will take you to the hospital right now."
Luo Zhaoqiang, who helped Luo Tong up, glared at Luo Yu with gritted teeth before leaving, "If anything happens to my son, I will never let you go."
Seeing his eldest brother leave, Luo Zhaoxing glared at Luo Yu and the others, then pulled his daughter away.
"What does he mean by this? It was Luo Tong who wanted to hit Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu dodged and Luo Tong fell down. Now he wants to blame it on our son?" Liu Fang said to Luo Yu indignantly, "Xiao Yu, if they dare to do anything to you, Mom will make them pay for it."
"Mom, don't worry, they don't have time to bother me." Luo Yu smiled meaningfully.
