"Second brother, what are you doing here?"
"Jova, was it you who brought the second son here?"
The father and daughter had not seen each other for a long time. As soon as Lu Mingyuan saw Lu Sidi, he showed a look of disgust and transferred his anger to Lu Siqiao.
Lu Sidi had no choice but to offer another explanation.
Lu Mingyuan ignored her and walked up to Lu Sirou, saying ingratiatingly, "Sirou, please ask your boyfriend to help me. I really don't want to stay at Cheng's Group as a security guard anymore."
Lu Siqiao wasn't surprised at all to hear that Lu Sirou had a boyfriend, but she wondered who it was.
"Dad, what are you saying? Xia and I are just ordinary friends. Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Sirou turned pale with fright and pushed Lu Mingyuan out the door. "Don't say that again, or people will laugh at you."
Lu Sidi asked with a wronged expression, "Big sister, you have a boyfriend, is that why you won't let me stay?"
"Second brother, don't listen to Dad's nonsense, I don't have a boyfriend." Lu Sirou seemed preoccupied.
Lu Mingyuan, however, was still persistent. He grabbed her hand menacingly and said in a stern voice, "Boss, tell me, did you sleep with him? Did he buy this house or rent it?"
Hearing these terrifying words, Lu Sirou's face turned red with anger. Especially since someone was walking by outside, she had no choice but to pull Lu Mingyuan into the house.
"Xia Tianyou and I are just ordinary friends, it's not as dirty as you think!" she said angrily, sitting on the sofa and throwing a tantrum.
Lu Mingyuan was also enraged. Ignoring the presence of Lu Si and her sister, he rubbed salt into her wounds, saying, "I saw him kiss you. In the middle of the night, he even took you home. A man and a woman alone together, you must have been completely ravaged. You slut, just like your mother, being kept by an old man and refusing to admit it!"
Upon hearing the news that she was being kept by a sugar daddy, Lu Siqiao revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
Lu Sidi, however, looked at Lu Sirou with a complicated expression, unsure of who to believe.
"Fine, whatever you say!"
Seeing the suspicious looks from her two younger sisters, Lu Sirou felt a pang of despair and decided to lay it all out: "So what if I've become someone's mistress? Everyone has their own way of living, and I don't think it's shameful!"
Lu Sidi stammered, "Big sister, you have hands and feet, and a decent job, why would you want to be a mistress?"
Lu Mingyuan pushed her away and leaned close to Lu Sirou: "Sirou, please beg President Xia to promote me. The sun outside is so hot and I can't stand guarding the garage all day. Besides, people will look down on you if they find out your dad is just a security guard."
"Dad, you should beg Mom. The one keeping her is the president of Cheng's Group!" Lu Sirou said shamelessly.
Lu Mingyuan cursed, "I already asked. Your mother is just making excuses, saying that I'm her ex-husband and if President Cheng finds out, I won't even be able to work as a security guard anymore. Humph, she clearly doesn't want to help me."
Seeing how this father and daughter spoke of their extramarital affair as if it were perfectly normal is truly mind-blowing.
Lu Siqiao was about to take Lu Sidi away when she saw her listening intently to the conversation between the father and daughter, seemingly quite interested.
If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too.
"Second Uncle, why don't you take Second Sister home and find her a vocational school to study at?" she deliberately changed the subject and said to Lu Mingyuan.
But Lu Mingyuan didn't even look at her. He grabbed Lu Sirou's hand and pleaded, "Big brother, you're the only one I can rely on. Dad's meager income of a few hundred yuan isn't enough to support a family. If we don't find another way, I'll have no choice but to bring my whole family to rely on you."
"Dad, isn't this moral blackmail?" Lu Sirou said with dissatisfaction.
Seeing that her two younger sisters were looking at her, she realized it was inappropriate to continue the conversation.
"Here's what we'll do: you take the second child home first. When I see President Xia, I'll give you a little chat." She thought for a moment and had an idea.
Lu Mingyuan's eyebrows lit up with joy, and he immediately said to Lu Sidi, "Third brother, pack your things and come home with Dad."
Upon hearing that his older sister had sold him out, Lu Sidi's face turned ugly, and he said pitifully, "Big sister, I don't want to leave, I want to stay here with you!"
"Second sister, you're still young. I'll find you a vocational school later, so go and study obediently," Lu Sirou said coldly. "You know my situation, so naturally I can't take you in. And don't even think about Mom. She goes on a drunken rampage every time she drinks, and she'll hit people. Do you dare go?"
"What are you thinking, you brat? Your older sister has a boyfriend, how can she live with you? You should come home with Dad and help Grandma clean. Your Aunt Yan is going to go out to work soon too." Lu Mingyuan stepped forward and grabbed Lu Sidi's hand to leave.
Lu Sidi was so angry that tears streamed down her face, and she turned to Lu Siqiao for help.
I thought Lu Siqiao would say something in her defense, but to my surprise, she agreed and said, "Second sister, just listen to Second Uncle. Once you go to school, you won't actually have much time to stay at home and do housework."
“But I—” Lu Sidi was speechless.
Having witnessed her older sister's free and independent single life, she was unwilling to return to the dilapidated alleyway rented by Lu Mingyuan, especially since her grandmother made her do chores all day long.
“I also live at school, I can’t exactly let you move into the Fang family’s house, can I?” Lu Siqiao’s words extinguished her last hope.
On the way back, Lu Mingyuan asked Lu Siqiao to give them a ride, and they walked into a crowded alley.
"Qiaowa, come in and have a seat," Lu Mingyuan sincerely invited Lu Siqiao. "Your grandma and the others haven't seen you in a long time."
Lu Siqiao naturally didn't want to.
"Qiaowa, if your second aunt gets angry that I brought the second son back, at least put in a good word for me," Lu Mingyuan whispered again.
Lu Siqiao sneered. So he's henpecked and afraid of taking responsibility.
On the contrary, Lu Sidi, carrying her luggage, kept her eyes darting around. She was terrified when she saw a drunk man passing by on the roadside.
“That’s how it is in poor people’s areas. The advantage is that it’s cheap, only 150 yuan a month, and you get a big courtyard,” Lu Mingyuan explained to Lu Siqiao.
Actually, Lu Siqiao felt it was alright. Back when she was still living in the second wife's house, the environment in City A was a whole level worse than here.
When Liu Yan saw that Lu Sidi had come to rely on them alone, her expression was not very good. Lu Mingyuan pulled her aside and told her about how he had asked the boss to help him pull some strings. Only then did a smile appear in her eyes.
Grandma Ruan was quite rude, slapping Lu Sidi a few times and scolding her for running out. She also said that prices in the capital were too high, and she should have stayed in the countryside instead, as now she had to feed another mouth to feed.
When the old lady learned that she would be sent to a vocational school, she was unhappy and scolded, "What's the point of studying so much? She'll get married sooner or later. She might as well find a factory job and save up some dowry money in advance."
“Grandma, my second sister is not yet an adult. Which factory would dare to hire her?” Lu Siqiao retorted without any politeness.
Lu Sidi ran into the house crying and sulked.
