Chapter 266 Each Shows Their Abilities
"Lu Xingchen, movies are for two people, it's not suitable for a little kid like you to go." Lu Mingzheng retorted without any politeness.
“Uncle, I’m already twenty-eight, not a child anymore. But you, you’re not young anymore, and you still use going to the movies to date girls, isn’t that too old-fashioned?” Lu Xingchen retorted.
"Ha, what a joke. Ah Zhen and I are the same age, so naturally we have the same interests. Unlike you, my nephew, a spoiled brat who's always out fooling around and never lacks women."
"Ha, then Uncle is mistaken. I'm a model young man who always keeps himself clean and upright. Besides, Ah Zhen and I usually get along very well, and we have no problem communicating. Right?"
Lu Xingchen and Lu Mingzheng both looked at Jiang Ruzhen, making her feel uneasy and restless.
Lu Mingzheng's jealousy flared up, and with a swift movement of his long legs under the table, he hooked Jiang Ruzhen's calves between his own and pulled them together.
It even kept moving around, caressing Jiang Ruzhen's smooth skin.
Jiang Ruzhen bit her lower lip and glared at Lu Mingzheng, telling him to shut up.
But someone went even further. Jiang Ruzhen closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them to look at the guests at the table and smiled.
"I have something to do, so I won't go out. Enjoy your meal, everyone. I'll be going now."
Jiang Ruzhen turned and fled as if she were running away.
That's terrifying, that's terrifying, that's terrifying!
Jiang Ruzhen kept muttering that she shouldn't have come today.
No, she shouldn't have come back to this shop today in the first place.
If she hadn't come, she wouldn't have encountered such an awkward and chaotic situation.
Is this a prank on the Lu family?
It was clearly a trap set for her.
She couldn't stay there a second longer.
When Lu Mingzheng saw Jiang Ruzhen trying to run away, he quickly chased after her, with Lu Xingchen following closely behind.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them vanished without a trace.
After the outsiders left, Bai Jing finally lost her temper and confronted Lu Chuyao.
"Big sister, what do you mean by this? You know perfectly well that Jiang Ruzhen is the daughter-in-law I've chosen, yet you interfere halfway through and are even willing to ruin my grandson's future to take Jiang Ruzhen away. What exactly do you want to do?"
If you don't like me, just come at me directly; stop with these underhanded tactics.
Bai Jing glared angrily, but Lu Chuyao sat calmly in his chair, sipping tea without even lifting his eyelids, and spoke softly.
"For the country, your wife has quite the airs of an official! Is she accusing your older sister of deliberately stealing my husband?"
Xiao Jiang never agreed to be with Xiao Zheng. My Xiao Chen likes him, so let the uncle and nephew compete fairly!
Who is she taking her anger out on?
Lu Weiguo touched his nose, inwardly groaning.
In other families, it's usually the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who have conflicts, but he's caught between his older sister and his wife, torn between the two.
These two were always at each other's throats whenever they met, and they spent their whole lives bickering and fighting like this.
He didn't want to become the unlucky one in the fight between the two.
"Hehe..." He chuckled twice without saying anything, but Bai Jing couldn't help but stand up and retort.
"What do you mean by 'the two aren't together'? Just because they're not together now doesn't mean they won't be in the future. You're a grown man, don't you know the principle of first come, first served?"
"It was clearly my son Xiaozheng who pursued Xiaojiang first, so why are you interfering?"
"You said yourself that you're not together, right? Then my Xiaochen has the right to pursue happiness. What era are we living in? Why are you still talking about first come, first served? If you were a principled businessman, would your Bai family's business have grown to such a large scale?"
"Don't talk like a child and make me look down on you." Lu Chuyao finally looked up and stared at Bai Jing. His words were forceful and clear, leaving Bai Jing speechless with anger.
"Alright, then let's see who has the last laugh, each of us relying on our own abilities." Bai Jing picked up her bag and walked away without looking back.
The two Lu sisters hurriedly got up to apologize to Lu Chuyao, then turned around and chased after her.
Seeing that the mother and her two daughters had all left, Lu Weiguo and Lu Minghe breathed a sigh of relief and gave Lu Chuyao an apologetic smile.
Lu Chuyao rolled her eyes at the father and son.
"What a spineless coward, he's been afraid of her his whole life. Even now that he's old, he's still the same. Don't smile at me, you're so smug. I want to punch you every time I see you."
"Hehe, big sister, I'm not afraid of my wife, it's just that I like and respect her," Lu Weiguo explained.
“Yes, Aunt, my mom has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She doesn’t really have any bad intentions.” Lu Minghe also tried his best to defend his mother.
"Lu Weiguo, what can I say about you? I'm truly amazed by how you spoil your wife to the point of being so lawless."
If I didn't know that Bai Jing truly liked you, do you think I would have tolerated her yelling at me for so many years?
"Alright, you guys should leave now. Don't come looking for me again unless it's absolutely necessary. You're just causing me trouble." Lu Chuyao said, urging them to leave.
Lu Weiguo cautiously stood up and asked, "Big sister, could you try to persuade Xiao Chen about Xiao Jiang?"
"Lu Weiguo, don't push your luck! Our elders' feud is our elders' feud. Don't try to take advantage of the younger generation."
"Courtship? Even nature knows about survival of the fittest. How can you be so insecure? You're sure Xiao Zheng will lose to Xiao Chen?" Lu Chuyao's rhetorical question left Lu Weiguo speechless.
Lu Minghe instantly understood what his aunt meant, and he tugged at his father's sleeve.
"Dad, don't make things difficult for Auntie. We've already bothered you for so long, it's time for us to go."
As soon as Jiang Ruzhen escaped from the Lu family, Lu Mingzheng caught up with her.
He grabbed Jiang Ruzhen's hand. "What are you doing? You're really ignoring me now?"
Jiang Ruzhen glanced at him, shook off his hand, and complained.
"What's wrong with you? What am I supposed to do now?"
"What do you mean, what should we do? Are you still hesitating?" Lu Mingzheng pulled Jiang Ruzhen into his arms and asked.
"What do you mean I'm still hesitating? If you don't want your mother to know my true identity, aren't you giving others an opportunity to take advantage of you?" Jiang Ruzhen retorted with clear logic.
Lu Mingzheng was stunned; it seemed to make sense.
He grabbed Jiang Ruzhen's hand and started walking back. "I've changed my mind now. I'll tell my mom that we've been together for a long time."
Make that brat give up on you.
Jiang Ruzhen shook off his hand, "You go if you want, I'm not going to go and get scolded."
"Okay, let me explain to my mom."
Just as Lu Mingzheng was about to enter the courtyard, he saw Lu Xingchen emerge from behind the door with a grin.
"Oh, I see. So Uncle was secretly seeing Xiao Zhen behind the family's back? What's up? Is this exciting?"
Lu Mingzheng got angry just looking at the smiling face in front of him, so he unexpectedly swept his leg and knocked the man down.
"You brat, is this how you talk to your elders at foreign universities? You want to steal your uncle's woman? Are you tired of living?"
Lu Xingchen lay on the ground groaning and rubbing his waist, pitifully trying to charm Jiang Ruzhen.
"Sister Zhenzhen, look at him! He's so domineering and has such a bad temper. He might even beat his wife after marriage! You should really think about whether you want to be with this man."
Enraged, Lu Mingzheng raised his foot to kick him, but Lu Xingchen rolled on the ground to avoid it.
The two's disheveled chase successfully amused Jiang Ruzhen.
