Chapter 268 Bai Jing Has Gone Mad
"What do you mean?" everyone asked in unison.
They really didn't understand what Lu Mingzheng was saying, what he meant by "Jiang Ruzhen is that Jiang Ruzhen".
"Oh dear, Jiang Ruzhen is the girl I mentioned to you before, the one you disagreed with and insisted on breaking us up." Lu Mingzheng simply closed his eyes and revealed the truth.
"Huh? The person I admired has always been my sister-in-law?" Second sister Lu Mingning's mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg.
"Oh my god, am I dreaming? That pretty Xiao Jiang was actually my sister-in-law?" Third Sister Lu Mingyuan pinched her cheek. "Ouch, that hurts."
Lu Weiguo stared in astonishment, then looked at Bai Jing, who was completely dumbfounded.
Bai Jing's mind went blank at that moment. She reflexively mumbled, "Jiang Ruzhen is your ex-girlfriend? That old woman from the fishing village with four children?"
“Yes, I told you before that her surname is Jiang, but you didn’t take it to heart at all.” Lu Mingzheng argued weakly as he saw his mother’s pale face.
"So, you've been watching me grovel and fawn over that woman, watching me act like a fool trying to please the woman I've always hated?"
Xiao Zheng, I'm your own mother! How could you do this to me?
Bai Jing broke down; she felt like the sky had fallen.
The last sentence was roared out, filled with extreme anger and grievance.
Seeing his wife lose her temper, Lu Weiguo quickly stepped forward to hug Bai Jing and comforted her, "Wife, don't be angry, don't be angry."
"Ignorance is no excuse, but you just don't know the situation, don't get worked up! Lu Mingzheng, you brat, are you trying to drive your mother crazy? Apologize to me right now!"
Lu Weiguo blinked rapidly, trying to signal Lu Mingzheng, but Lu Mingzheng remained stubborn.
"Why should I apologize? It's because you didn't investigate Jiang Ruzhen's family situation at all, and you refused to accept any information about her based on your prejudice."
My mom faked being sick and hospitalized to break us up, and I deliberately didn't tell you, so you'd all slap yourselves in the face.
"You unfilial son!" Bai Jing could no longer contain her rising anger. She broke free from Lu Weiguo's restraint, rushed up to Lu Mingzheng, and slapped him across the face.
"You bastard, you've fooled your own mother for the woman you love, are you so proud of yourself?"
"Seeing me desperately trying to please that woman, aren't you secretly cursing me as an idiot? Ugh, you unfilial bastard, I wasted my life raising you!"
Bai Jing was so angry that she went berserk and started punching and kicking Lu Mingzheng without thinking twice.
The two older sisters snapped out of their surprise and rushed forward to rescue their brother, who was both infuriating and heartbreaking.
Xiao Zheng's actions are truly infuriating. After all, his mother originally disapproved of their relationship, so it's understandable that he kept it a secret.
But it's a bit too much for my younger brother to keep it from his two older sisters as well.
They were the two of them who raised this younger brother; how could they hide anything from him?
While they tried to mediate the fight, they cursed Lu Mingzheng in their hearts.
After finally managing to stop Bai Jing, her two daughters took turns trying to persuade her.
"Mom, isn't this a good thing? The girl you like and the woman my brother likes are the same person. This proves that you have a discerning eye, so you don't have to have a cold war with my brother anymore."
“Yes, Mom, since Jiang Ruzhen is my younger brother’s girlfriend, we have a greater advantage than Auntie’s side. For so many years, haven’t you always wanted to beat Auntie? Now the opportunity is right in front of you.”
“Mom, Third Sister is right. You’ve been competing with Auntie so many times, and every time she’s the one who wins. This time, it’s obvious that her eldest grandson also likes Jiang Ruzhen.”
Once your younger brother marries her, you can finally hold your head high in front of your aunt and show her some contempt.
"Mom, think about all the grievances you've suffered at Auntie's hands over the years, and then think about how you'll hold your head high and look down on her later. Compared to all the grudges that have lasted for so many years, losing a little face is still acceptable."
"......"
After listening to her two daughters' words, Bai Jing regained her sense of reason.
Actually, when she heard Lu Mingzheng reveal Jiang Ruzhen's identity, her initial reaction was one of secret delight, followed by a feeling of embarrassment.
However, she absolutely could not admit it to Lu Mingzheng, otherwise, where would her mother's authority be?
She could accept Jiang Ruzhen's long-standing hostility and disrespect, but she couldn't accept that her son had deceived her and manipulated her.
Lu Weiguo then came over to persuade Bai Jing, "Wife, I also think this is a good thing. How did you treat Xiao Jiang before? She didn't throw a basin of foot-washing water in your face or kick us out of the Jiang family. You should be glad that Xiao Jiang is so well-mannered."
She's only coldly watching your performance, which is already showing you mercy. If she had confronted you directly, I think you would have been truly humiliated and lost all face.
“I didn’t say that Xiao Jiang was bad. I’m angry at our youngest son. He actually directed this whole show and watched us make a fool of ourselves. Do you think we can still have a son like that?” Bai Jing was full of resentment towards Lu Mingzheng.
"Mom, my brother had no choice. Why did you have such a big prejudice against Xiao Jiang back then? He was afraid that if you hadn't been willing to get to know him personally, how would you have known how outstanding and capable Xiao Jiang is?"
Seeing that Bai Jing had calmed down, Lu Minghe objectively explained the reality.
After so many interactions, Lu Minghe had completely accepted Jiang Ruzhen as a member of the family.
The Lu family admires strength and is fiercely protective of their own. Since he acknowledges Jiang Ruzhen as family, he should say something for her.
Bai Jing carefully considered her eldest son's words.
Yes, she used to be rigid and stubborn. She made wild judgments based on just a brief introduction from her youngest son, and she thought Jiang Ruzhen was bad in every way.
But after she actually met Jiang Ruzhen, she was repeatedly impressed by Jiang Ruzhen's abilities and intelligence.
Otherwise, there are actually many well-matched young ladies from prominent families in Hangzhou to choose from, so why would she insist on fighting with Jiang Ruzhen, who has always been indifferent to her?
Isn't it because he's attracted to this woman's shrewd business acumen and her immense potential and hard skills?
She used to fantasize that her youngest son would help her company after his military service, but after observing him for the past few years, it's clear that his heart isn't in it.
She wanted to choose a daughter-in-law who was good at the clothing business to manage this huge enterprise for her.
Jiang Ruzhen was her first choice.
But when she thought about their previous exchanges on the phone, she did regret her actions.
But she couldn't show it. She nodded and said, "My eldest son is much more pleasing to the ear. He's devoted to the family business and much better than your good-for-nothing brother."
"But I remember, boss, didn't you meet Jiang Ruzhen in person back then? Why didn't you remind us about this after we arrived in the capital?"
It's over, the gun is now pointed at him. For a moment, Lu Minghe felt a chill run down his spine.
