Chapter 267 The Truth Revealed
Jiang Ruzhen stepped forward and pulled Lu Mingzheng away, "Forget it, he's your nephew, don't really hurt him."
Lu Mingzheng angrily pointed at the man on the ground who was acting cute, "He's shameless."
Jiang Ruzhen whispered in Lu Mingzheng's ear, "Don't forget, you used to be just as shameless, even more so."
I even suspect this might be a family secret technique passed down through generations of the Lu family, so well preserved.
Looking into Jiang Ruzhen's teasing and lively eyes, Lu Mingzheng's anger subsided by half.
"You brat, watch your words and actions from now on. Otherwise, don't blame me for being even harsher on you."
Lu Mingzheng raised his fist to threaten Lu Xingchen, but the man didn't care at all.
He got up, dusted himself off, and grinned at Jiang Ruzhen.
"Little Zhenzhen, I will never give up on you. If my uncle treats you badly, remember that I'm here waiting for you. Just turn around and you'll see me. I'm waiting for you!"
"You little bastard, just wait till I get my hands on you..."
Lu Mingzheng was furious to see Lu Xingchen acting like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
He used to feel smug when he acted cute and charming in front of Jiang Ruzhen.
Seeing other men using this tactic to seduce Jiang Ruzhen only made him feel disgusted and nauseous.
Fearing that the uncle and nephew would fight again, Jiang Ruzhen quickly pulled Lu Mingzheng away.
Lu Xingchen watched the two disappear into the alley from the doorway, his smiling expression finally fading into a wry smile.
He thought he really had a chance to win her back, but seeing how affectionate Jiang Ruzhen was with Lu Mingzheng just now, he knew he really had no chance.
However, if he can't have it, he won't let his uncle have it so easily.
In the future, he will continue to cause trouble for his uncle in front of both families, because he won the heart of his goddess so easily.
We must not let him lower his guard; we must make him aware of Jiang Ruzhen's charm at all times.
Even without his advances, there are plenty of other men waiting to do the same!
Along the way, Jiang Ruzhen found it amusing to see Lu Mingzheng's sullen anger.
"Don't be angry. Why don't you go back now and explain my identity to your family? I don't care if your mom agrees or not, as long as we're together."
As Lu Mingzheng gradually regained his composure, he realized something was amiss.
"I almost fell for that kid's trap. He must have figured something out, which is why he provoked me so brazenly."
Did he really think I'd fall for it? Hmph, just wait and see, I'll show him what it means to be an experienced strategist.
Never mind him, let's go on our date first.
Lu Mingzheng seemed to have figured something out and pulled Jiang Ruzhen towards the movie theater.
The two watched a movie, then went out to eat, and then went shopping.
Jiang Ruzhen hadn't dressed Lu Mingzheng up in a long time, so she indulged herself this time, buying him more than ten outfits at once.
Let him take two or three sets back to wear, and hang the rest in the wardrobe in the space for future use.
The two then bought some underwear, most importantly a lot of briefs and vests.
Lu Mingzheng on the bed was like a mad beast, tearing apart any clothes that stood in his way, regardless of anything else.
Jiang Ruzhen's poor wardrobe was almost completely emptied of her underwear.
After finishing all that, Lu Mingzheng first took Jiang Ruzhen back to Shen Shuxin's courtyard house.
Although he felt that Lu Xingchen was no match for him, he still didn't want him to keep deliberately getting close to Jiang Ruzhen.
Seeing him turn to leave, Jiang Ruzhen asked in confusion, "Aren't you sleeping here tonight?"
Lu Mingzheng's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer and whispered, "What, you miss me? Then I'll come find you after I go home and talk to my mom."
Jiang Ruzhen saw the gleam in Lu Mingzheng's eyes and shook her head abruptly, "No need, I want to rest early."
She pushed Lu Mingzheng out of the yard and hurriedly ran back into the house.
Lu Mingzheng looked at the gate and laughed for a long time before finally driving away.
By the time they returned to the Lu residence in the capital, it was already dark.
The Lu family was having dinner when they saw Lu Mingzheng come in, and everyone asked him about him with great joy.
"You went to see a movie with Xiao Jiang?"
"Okay." Lu Mingzheng sat on the sofa, waiting for them.
"How was the atmosphere today?" Bai Jing asked with concern.
"It's alright," Lu Mingzheng replied absentmindedly.
"Did you say something to offend Xiao Jiang? You brat, can't you be a little more reliable? If you lose such a good daughter-in-law like Xiao Jiang, I'll break your legs." Lu Weiguo threatened domineeringly.
"Tch~" Paper tiger. Lu Mingzheng rolled his eyes at his father indifferently.
After finishing their meals, the family members gathered around and cheered Lu Mingzheng on.
"Little brother, trust your second sister. My eyes are my yardstick; Xiao Jiang definitely has feelings for you."
"Yes, little brother, even Third Sister can see it. Xiao Jiang definitely won't like that Lu Xingchen. He can't compare to you at all."
I'm not as old as you, and I don't have as much experience, so I'm definitely not as good at pursuing girls as you are.
The two older sisters' praise successfully made Lu Mingzheng laugh in anger. "You two should shut up. Anyone who knows you would think you're praising me, but anyone who doesn't would think you're insulting me."
“How could that be? We’re telling the truth,” the two sisters replied in unison.
Lu Weiguo snorted, "With your usual carefree attitude, you're unreliable to begin with. If Xiao Jiang chooses you, you should be praying to Buddha."
Lu Mingzheng was about to say something when Bai Jing stopped him.
She glared at Lu Weiguo and snapped, "Aren't you the father of my child? How can you undermine a child's confidence like this? My Xiaozheng is the best man, and the most suitable man for Xiaojiang."
Xiao Zheng, Mom believes in you. You can definitely beat Lu Xingchen and make Mom proud. Go for it!
Of everyone, only the eldest brother, Lu Mingzheng, remained silent. He sat to the side, drinking tea like a ghost, completely at ease.
It gives the impression that he is the only one who is sober while everyone else is drunk.
Lu Mingzheng's expression was very strange after hearing Bai Jing's words.
After a long while, he finally spoke.
"Actually, there's something I've been keeping from you all. Some of you might be happy to hear it, while others might be very angry. But since you're all planning to propose marriage, I have to make it clear to you."
"What's going on? Why are you being so secretive?" Bai Jing patted Lu Mingzheng on the shoulder and asked in a friendly tone.
"Tell me, is it because Xiao Jiang was moved by you and agreed to marry you? Then I'll start preparing your wedding right away."
Looking at the expectant eyes of his parents and two older sisters, Lu Mingzheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed to speak.
"You...you really think Jiang Ruzhen is very good, right?"
"Of course! The daughter of a scholarly family isn't good enough for you!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingzheng gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and decided to go all out.
"Uh...actually, Jiang Ruzhen is that Jiang Ruzhen, you've heard of her before."
