Chapter 180 Siblings Disagree
After walking a long way, the second brother looked back and saw that the man was still watching them.
He asked, clearly displeased, "Mom, what's with that man? Is he pursuing you?"
“Mmm!” Jiang Ruzhen responded directly.
"mom--"
The second thief roared loudly, right next to Jiang Ruzhen's ear, startling her.
My palms are incredibly itchy.
How long has it been since this second son got a beating? His skin is itching all over.
She raised her hand and smacked the back of her second son's head, yelling, "What the hell are you yelling about all day? You scared me to death! Do you want to inherit my two cents' worth of property?"
The second son didn't have time to care about the grammatical errors in his mother's words; instead, he eagerly pressed for answers.
"Mom, how could you do this? My Uncle Lu has only been gone for a few days, and you've already found another man, and you're always seen with him."
How could you face my Uncle Lu? How could you face me?
"What business is it of yours what I have with Lu Mingzheng? Just take good care of your Lingling." Jiang Ruzhen didn't want to listen to her second son's nonsense and retorted directly.
"Mom—" the second son yelled again. "What are you saying? I've witnessed your relationship grow from nothing to something, I can't just stand by and watch you go astray."
Or perhaps you don't want to be a "scumbag woman" who cheats on two men at once, right?
Jiang Ruzhen thought back to how she had taught her second son not to be a two-timing scumbag, but she never expected that the boomerang would come back to bite her so quickly.
She couldn't help but kick the second brother, saying, "Do you think I'm like you? Always laughing and joking around with women, you're so unreliable. Mei Ling is quite pitiful, having ended up with a black-hearted playboy like you."
"What black-hearted butterfly? I am clean in body and mind, and everything belongs to my Lingling."
Mom, don't interrupt me. What's going on with that man? "The second son is relentless, determined to get justice for Uncle Lu who is no longer here."
“I have nothing to do with him. Didn’t I tell you I was going to study here? But instead of studying, all the men around me are thinking about picking up girls.”
Professor Meng meant well; he came to pick me up after class just to pretend, in order to help me out of that predicament.
After Jiang Ruzhen explained that she was half telling the truth and half lying, the second son was still somewhat suspicious.
"Is that really the case? But the way that man looked at you just now, it was clearly not innocent," the second brother said truthfully.
Damn it!
The second son has been away from home for a year and a half since he started his own business.
They're getting more and more shrewd; they're not so easy to fool anymore.
She inexplicably missed her second son, who had been extremely obedient and always did whatever she was told, when she was first reborn.
"Ugh, aren't you annoying? All you do is ask, ask, ask. All you do when you get here is cause trouble for your Uncle Lu. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were Lu Mingzheng's biological son!"
"Why don't you just change your surname to Lu and be adopted by him?"
Jiang Ruzhen walked forward impatiently, but the second son listened and caught up with her a few steps later to ask.
"Can I? Mom? Is it really okay? Can I really change my surname to Lu and inherit Uncle Lu's millions in assets?" The second son's eyes gleamed with greed.
"If you're not afraid your dad will come looking for you for tea in the middle of the night, then go ahead and do it." Jiang Ruzhen's words extinguished the second son's hopes in their infancy.
The two took a taxi and drove around all the shops several times. Jiang Ruzhen threw the keys to her second brother and then took a taxi home to catch up on sleep.
The second brother, instead of starting work immediately after receiving the keys, took a taxi back to Capital University to find Shen Shuxin.
He didn't quite believe his mother's words. He needed to find out more from his third sister. If she really was Uncle Lu's rival in love, then he would have to inform Uncle Lu.
Shen Shuxin was very happy to see her second brother after class, and ran over like a happy little bird.
The second brother put his arm around her shoulder and walked her out. "Sis, look how thin you are, your face is all gone. Is it because Xie Hui is treating you badly?"
Has he been bullying you lately? I think he's just a brat—he deserves a beating!
Hearing her second brother's words, Shen Shuxin's joy vanished, and she looked at Shen Zhuoyi with suspicion.
"Second brother, something's not right with you! You're trying so hard to please me right away, are you hiding something?"
Shen Zhuoyi's expression was somewhat unnatural. The relationship between these brothers and sisters was too good, and not good either. They were too difficult to fool!
"No, I just came to see how you're doing."
"Don't give me that, have you seen Mom yet?"
Shen Shuxin asked with certainty, and Shen Zhuoyi, seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, had no choice but to nod and stop beating around the bush.
"What's going on with that man next to Mom? Do you know anything about him?"
"You mean Professor Meng?" Shen Shuxin asked back.
"You know about this?" This time it was the second son who was surprised. He had always thought that the children in the family should support Uncle Lu, but he didn't expect there to be a spy among them.
"You didn't stop it?" the second brother asked in astonishment.
"Why should I stop you? I'm Mom's sweet little cotton-padded jacket, while you three brothers are all like leaky leather jackets."
All they ever talk about is Uncle Lu. While I like Uncle Lu too, if he and Mom really aren't a good match, I'll agree with Mom choosing someone else.
"You agree with my ass!" The second brother became even more anxious after hearing Shen Shuxin's words.
I never expected that my mom and Uncle Lu would come to Beijing together like glue. It's only been a short time since we last saw each other, and my mom has already changed her mind?
What exactly happened here?
"Did Mom and Uncle Lu have a fight?" the second son asked.
"Yes, Uncle Lu had a fight with Mom a while ago and then left. Mom was really upset. She hasn't been eating or drinking these past few days, and she's lost weight."
Second brother, don't you think Uncle Lu is too busy? He doesn't even have time to coax Mom after an argument. Mom isn't even married to him yet, does she have to give in to him like this?
Shen Shuxin genuinely liked Uncle Lu Mingzheng, but if he kept making her mother so unhappy...
My mother wanted to break up with him, and as her daughter, she wholeheartedly agreed.
She's even heard some rumors lately and is starting to think that Professor Meng is a good match for her mother.
He is handsome, refined, and has a particularly good personality.
She can tolerate all her mother's little temper tantrums and is very tolerant of others, which will give her mother more freedom.
The two are well-matched in terms of social standing and strength, and they will surely live in harmony and support each other until old age.
"But Uncle Lu's job is what it is, he just doesn't have time to take care of his family! Our mother is a strong woman, she shouldn't need Uncle Lu who's always clinging to her, right?"
After hearing his sister's words, the second brother tried his best to defend Uncle Lu.
Shen Shuxin glared at her second son, "I think Mom is right, you're so biased."
Does your mom not need care and consideration just because she's a strong woman in your eyes? If you let your mom always fight alone and solve everything by herself, then what's the point of having a man?
Wouldn't it be better for her to live alone? My dear, I want my mom to have someone to keep her company in her old age, not some jerk who's always there and makes her angry. Humph! I'm not talking to you anymore, goodbye!
Shen Shuxin turned and left, showing no respect to her second brother.
She absolutely respects her mother's opinion when it comes to her mother's happiness.
Instead of being like my second brother, who imposes his feelings on our mother.
