Chapter 270
People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong. Lu Xun doesn't look like someone you can mess with. He stood there like a cold-faced demon. I don't know who he inherited this from.
Mr. Sheng was angry. Although he was happy to see someone coming, he pretended to ignore them.
Seeing Master Sheng like this, several people did not dare to say anything else and pretended not to see anything. Sheng Jing, who was standing by, smiled and greeted him: "Xiao Xun, didn't I tell you the time of the family dinner a long time ago? Why are you here only now? If you don't come, Dad will go to pick you up in person."
The joke pointed out Lu Xun's late arrival again, and brought the conflict back to Lu Xun.
What a big deal! He only came now and still needs the elders to greet him. It seems that he has been wild abroad and has no manners at all.
For a moment, the eyes of the aunts and uncles of the Sheng family were a little contemptuous. Noticing this change, an ambiguous emotion flashed in Sheng Jing's eyes.
If you want to return to the Sheng family and fight for the family property, you have to see if you can convince the people.
The atmosphere was strangely quiet. Lu Xun did not argue, but calmly took out a transparent bag from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of everyone.
The things in the transparent bag were placed on the golden nanmu table, making a small sound and appearing in front of everyone.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that today was the Sheng family's family dinner. I came here to return something and will leave after returning it."
Lu Xun's tone was neither cold nor indifferent, which not only slapped Sheng Jing in the face, but also made it clear that he did not regard the Sheng family as his own home.
As soon as the words fell, the boiling pot exploded. The originally silent people whispered to each other, and the old man of the Sheng family turned pale and ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Lu Xun, say it to me again!"
Old Master Sheng was used to being a high-ranking official, and he had long been angry about Lu Xun's lack of closeness. These words directly ignited the fuse.
"Sheng Family Feast..." Old Master Sheng gritted his teeth and read these words back and forth several times, then asked with his eyes wide open: "You are not a member of the Sheng family, right?!"
The atmosphere was tense and anxious. Old Master Sheng was breathing heavily with anger, but Lu Xun still had a cold and indifferent expression on his face. The eldest aunt of the Sheng family frowned and tried to smooth things over: "Brother, why bother with the child?"
"Xiao Xun just returned to China, so it's normal for him to not adapt to his home. We need to give him some time."
The eldest aunt of the Sheng family turned around, her face becoming more serious: "Xiao Xun, what did you say you wanted?"
There was a black round object in the transparent bag. It didn't look like a good thing, but people had to go all the way to get it. They didn't understand what Lu Xun was trying to say.
Sheng Jing, the only one who knew the truth, frowned the moment he saw Lu Xun take out the bug.
Facing Lu Xun's emotionless cold eyes, he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but the pride of being the eldest son of the Sheng family forced him to hold on.
Seeing him like this, Lu Xun laughed lightly and said in a calm tone: "The gift sent by Young Master Sheng is really too valuable. My family can't afford to keep it. After thinking about it, it's better to send it back."
There was undisguised sarcasm in their words. No one cared about Lu Xun calling him "Mr. Sheng". They all became curious.
The young lady from the Sheng family couldn't hold back her anger and asked first, "Xiao Xun, what is this?"
This was also what the others wanted to ask. Lu Xun did not say it directly, but looked at Sheng Jing outside the crowd: "Master Sheng, don't you want to explain?"
After all, he was a child of an aristocratic family. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Sheng Jing quickly thought of the best solution and forced a smile: "Xiao Xun, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."
"If it's about the group, we can talk in the study."
Sheng Jing's smile remained unchanged, but a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes. Lu Xun, on the other hand, remained calm and composed. The old man of the Sheng family quickly understood what was going on. His eyes fell on the black round object, and his face darkened.
But no matter how angry he was, he knew that family disgrace should not be made public, especially on this occasion tonight, so he said in a deep voice: "If you two brothers have anything to discuss, go to the study and talk. Don't embarrass yourself here."
After the old man of the Sheng family finished speaking, he was still worried that Lu Xun would not listen to him. He was relieved when he saw that the two of them had gone upstairs. He immediately asked someone to put the things away.
Upstairs study,
As soon as the door was closed, the smile on Sheng Jing's face faded away, and he said in an unclear tone: "I underestimated Miss Jiang."
"I didn't expect that she still has some real feelings for you." Sheng Jing sighed and said with a little regret: "But if Miss Jiang knew what you did today, I'm afraid she would be sad..."
Lu Xun's behavior today was equivalent to selling Jiang Qiao out. Sheng Jing felt that he had guessed wrong. His cheap brother didn't have much affection for the little star.
If he really likes her, why would he bear to expose this matter to the public? Aren't you afraid that he will take revenge on Jiang Qiao?
Sheng Jing felt that he had wasted so much energy and lost more than 30 million. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became: "Aren't you afraid that I will harm that little star?"
He had the intention of testing it one last time, but he didn't expect Lu Xun to directly say, "You can try."
The man who had been cold since he entered the Sheng family raised his eyelids, his eyes were cold and his tone was calm: "If you dare to touch Jiang Qiao, I will make you live a life worse than death."
……………………
This statement was arrogant, but when it came out of Lu Xun's mouth, it made people feel that he could really do it.
Sheng Jing narrowed his eyes: "For a woman, you are going to do this?"
He didn't believe it and thought Lu Xun was trying to confuse people. If he really liked her, he should protect her. How could he expose her in public? Any normal person would know to hide their weaknesses.
The next second, Lu Xun's words made him freeze in his tracks.
Lu Xun spoke calmly, "Shengjing, there's no need to try to test me. I'm telling you clearly that Jiang Qiao is my bottom line."
"I am not interested in Sheng Group, and I don't want to compete with you. There is only one thing. If you dare to get close to Jiang Qiao again, or if anyone in the Sheng family dares to get close to Jiang Qiao, don't blame me for being rude." Lu Xun said, "I don't even know what I will do."
Clearly showing his bottom line and declaring Jiang Qiao's absolute position in his heart, Lu Xun thought that he would not deliberately say that he didn't love her just to protect Jiang Qiao, that was the behavior of a weak person.
Lu Xun left, but Sheng Jing was still standing there, unable to recover.
After a while, he chuckled softly, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
He thought Lu Xun didn’t like her, but he didn’t expect that he… liked her too much, so much that he would risk his life to protect her. He declared war directly, which was a childish and ridiculous behavior.
It is easy to say that you don’t want the Sheng family’s property, but it is very difficult to do it. The mockery in Sheng Jing’s eyes became even stronger.
He just didn't believe that Lu Xun could really do it.
