Chapter 125 Never to see each other again
What does it mean to be shameless?
Jiang Ruzhen had truly broadened her horizons today. Looking at the crowd of people in the room, all eavesdropping and gloating, she felt a deep sense of powerless shame.
Have you ever heard of a niece stealing her aunt's boyfriend right in front of her?
Anyway, she had never heard of it.
Is it something to be proud of? This mother and daughter are making such a boastful statement in public.
She glanced at her eldest brother, who was utterly shocked, and felt sorry for him.
If two out of the three family members are so shameless and despicable, what will become of his older brother?
"Brother, take care. Don't blame me for being heartless. From now on, I will never see Bai Hua and Jiang Min again."
Jiang Ruzhen walked out resolutely, and Jiang Zhengyu raised his hand to grab her arm, but he was too ashamed.
He lowered his head dejectedly, sighing helplessly, his hunched body suddenly looking as if he had aged more than ten years.
How did such a good family come to this?
Why has his former beloved wife and daughter become so unrecognizable?
Was he really wrong?
He works tirelessly from dawn till dusk every day to support his wife and daughter, fearing that they would suffer with him again.
He fulfills their every request; isn't that good enough?
Why are those two still so greedy? They even want to take their sister's boyfriend for themselves?
Faced with the mother and daughter who showed no remorse, he began to seriously doubt himself for the first time, wondering if he had spoiled them too much.
"Jiang Ruzhen, if you have any shame, you should step aside and give Brother Lu to me. I will not forget you when I am rich and powerful in the future. Think about it carefully."
Jiang Min was unwilling to let the opportunity to become someone of high status slip away. Ignoring Jiang Zhengyu's murderous gaze, she shouted urgently.
Seeing her daughter's sincere expression, Bai Hua chimed in to support her.
"Yeah, girl. You're already old and faded, why hold onto such a good opportunity? Xiaomin is younger than you, knows how to be charming, and knows how to please men better."
Just grant her wish; she'll never forget your kindness in helping her get ahead...
"Pfft—"
"Pfft..."
The people eating around them couldn't help but stifle their laughter; the shamelessness of this mother and daughter was constantly shattering their worldview.
Even the chefs and waiters in the kitchen stopped working and gathered together to point and laugh at them, their laughter filled with sarcasm.
Jiang Ruzhen was being scrutinized, evaluated, ridiculed, and scorned in public. Her fists clenched tightly, and her eyes were filled with coldness and mockery.
Just as she raised her hand to lower it, a warm, large hand grabbed it tightly, and then she was pulled into an embrace, held firmly in its place.
"Enough! Shameless bastards. Shut your latrines and stop polluting the restaurant environment."
Lu Mingzheng glared at Jiang Min, his long-dormant sharp tongue resurfacing.
"Please take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror. You look like a toad. Even a bear would need two cloves of garlic to eat someone like you."
You look like a pig's head stewed in soy sauce. I feel sorry for you for being born a human. You must be a weasel; I can smell your stench from 800 miles away, even against the wind.
You're such a big oaf, you're not learning anything good. You've got some nerve, trying to steal my sister-in-law's man in public. How desperate are you? You won't live to see tomorrow.
You look like a giant flying cockroach, you're not even as big as your aunt's heel, don't come out and disgust me...
boom--
The surrounding crowd couldn't help but burst into laughter as they listened to Lu Mingzheng's various swear words.
"You...you..." Jiang Min couldn't bear Lu Mingzheng's vicious words, and coupled with the ridicule from those around her, she was momentarily blinded by a mouthful of phlegm and choked to death.
Bai Hua was so frightened that he quickly pinched Jiang Min's philtrum and patted her back. After finally calming Jiang Min down, she started cursing at Lu Mingzheng and Jiang Ruzhen.
"You bunch of scoundrels, none of you are any good. At your age, you're still trying to date like young people, shameless and brazen. Are you itching down there, thinking about those little things in the woods all day long... ah..."
Bai Hua was cursing merrily when Lu Mingzheng kicked him, sending him flying right into his heart.
Bai Hua nearly choked, clutching his chest and howling in pain.
Lu Mingzheng shielded Jiang Ruzhen behind him, looked down at Bai Hua with disdain, and said sarcastically.
"You old bastard, you coffin-like wretch, your breath stinks worse than athlete's foot. Your intestines must be running straight to your brain, you see everyone as rotten and foul."
You old bastard, what grave did you crawl out of? To speak so rudely to your own family is utterly depraved.
Be careful when you go out in the future. One day, if God takes a dislike to you, a bolt of lightning will strike you dead.
You're talking nonsense. I really don't know what you two, mother and daughter, were thinking. Why not live a perfectly good life instead of living like pigs and dogs?
"All you ever think about is hooking up with rich men, can't you live? If you can't live, hurry up and hang yourself. The sooner you die, the sooner you'll be reincarnated. Maybe the King of Hell will take a liking to you two and let you cut in line to be reborn into the animal realm..."
"Hahaha... This young man is quite something, his cursing is really satisfying." Some people nearby, who couldn't stand Bai Hua and her daughter's arrogance, laughed without restraint and joined in the cursing.
"Hahaha... Well said! That's so satisfying..."
Everyone cheered and applauded for Lu Mingzheng. Although they had enjoyed watching the spectacle, they were also disgusted by Bai Hua and her daughter.
"Xiao Lu, stop cursing. Give your older brother some face, I'll take them home right now."
Jiang Zhengyu was too ashamed to stay any longer, so he grabbed Bai Hua and Jiang Min and started to leave.
Lu Mingzheng initially had a good impression of his future brother-in-law, but now, seeing his behavior, he felt genuinely sorry for Jiang Ruzhen.
"Brother, let me give you some advice. You need to be able to tell whether the people around you are human or ghosts, or you might get torn apart and left in the dark one day."
Also, I've toned down my temper today. If those two dare to provoke Ah Zhen again, don't blame me for turning on them and personally dealing with them.
Lu Mingzheng made a harsh statement, then turned around and pulled Jiang Ruzhen away.
Even after driving quite a distance, Lu Mingzheng's face remained ashen, while Jiang Ruzhen was calm and had come to terms with things.
Perhaps she had few relatives; after her parents died in her previous life, both of her older brothers severed ties with her.
She only wants her parents to be alive and well in this life. She doesn't expect to maintain a close relationship with her two older brothers. She just needs to be filial to her parents. Everyone else is irrelevant to her.
As the car pulled up to the building where Jiang's parents lived, Lu Mingzheng placed his hand on the back of Jiang Ruzhen's hand and whispered.
“Ah Zhen, don’t take what those shameless mother and daughter said to heart. I like you because of who you are, and it has nothing to do with your age or whether you’ve been married before.”
Jiang Ruzhen understood Lu Mingzheng's feelings, but when she saw his face, she remembered the words she had just been scolded with.
It's impossible to say I don't mind at all.
She slowly withdrew her hand and lowered her eyes.
"Lu Mingzheng, actually I used to think we weren't a good match. It's not that I'm belittling myself, but I felt we were from two different worlds and didn't belong together."
Now that things have been brought up today, I hope you can think carefully about whether you've really decided to continue this journey with me.
Judging from people's reactions today, you should expect that in the future you will often be criticized and talked about behind your back.
I don't want us to become an unhappy couple in the future, unable to even be normal friends.
I think we should leave it at that for now, let's both cool off for a while, and we can talk about our relationship later.
Jiang Ruzhen opened the car door, got out, and went into the building without looking back.
Lu Mingzheng's hands and feet were ice cold, and his heart was even colder to the core.
I thought today would finally bring clarity and hope, but it turned out to be all for naught.
He gripped the steering wheel tightly, staring resentfully in the direction of the Jiang family's house, his arms trembling uncontrollably.
Jiang Ruzhen's heart, which she had finally prepared to open to him, suddenly slammed shut again, leaving not a single crack.
He wanted to kill Bai Hua and her daughter right then and there, but his status prevented him from doing so.
He glanced at his watch; it was time to return to the team. He slammed his fist on the steering wheel and stormed off.
Behind the curtains, Jiang Ruzhen was already in tears.
