Chapter 18: He Tried His Own Brother
Lu Chen!!
Lu Cheng was stunned!
Is this rumor so outrageous?
Just replace someone else!
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Chen, who looked as gloomy as water, with no expression on his face. However, if you look closely, you can see that his thin lips are tightly closed, and the knuckles holding the chopsticks are a little pale.
Lu Cheng understood him and felt that this was a prelude to his elder brother's anger!
However, he didn't dare to say anything, for fear that if he opened his mouth next, his eldest brother would get so angry that he would twist his head off!
It's not like he hasn't done this before.
The eldest brother has fought in the front lines and has made many military achievements. Otherwise, he would not have become the youngest regiment commander at such a young age.
Xu Nuo's mood at this moment could not be described in words. What was going on?
How did this rumor spread in just two days?
Suddenly I remembered that day when I met Lei Ming in the hospital. Lu Cheng casually said that she was his eldest brother's fiancée. I guess this rumor spread from that day, right?
Xu Nuo stroked his forehead.
It’s complicated, this matter is complicated!
When Cheng Wanying heard this, she looked at Lu Chen for help. Seeing that he didn't give any response, she felt that he might be angry.
So she turned her head and looked at Lu Huaizheng.
Lu Huaizheng stood up and asked Aunt Lin to make tea for everyone.
He walked to the sofa and sat down, smiling and asking everyone: "Sisters-in-law, I want to ask, who knows about this matter in my family?"
"Who?" Zhang Cuihua laughed. "Brother Lu, do you think you can keep this secret from everyone? Didn't I just tell you? Everyone in the entire compound knows about it! I went to the service center today to get some soy sauce, and even Aunt Zhang who was cleaning there knew about it."
Aunt Zhang has an ear disease. To put it bluntly, she is deaf and can't hear any sound.
Even she knew about it, which shows how great the influence of this matter is!
Lu Huaizheng gasped. When Xu Shan came to replace Xu Nuo, someone in the compound had already asked about this.
They all said that Xu Shan was a distant relative who came to the city to visit relatives and would leave after staying for a while.
I didn't expect that Xu Nuolai hadn't been able to keep it a secret.
It would have been fine if it wasn't kept secret, but after the news spread, the marriage partner was rumored to be someone else!!
"Who spread this news?" Lu Huaizheng couldn't help but talk to himself.
"Who?" Zhang Cuihua laughed exaggeratedly again after hearing that. The sound of hahaha was so loud and clear that it could blow the roof off the house. "It was my Lei Ming who told others about it! You all know that my Lei Ming's mouth is as loose as an old lady's belt! If there is something you want to keep secret, the last person you can tell is him!"
"Who did Lei Ming hear that from?" Cheng Wanying asked.
"Your Lu Cheng!" Zhang Cuihua said.
Lu Huaizheng pointed at Lu Cheng: "You, you..."
I really want to kick this guy!
He pushed the marriage he didn't want to his brother! What a jerk!
"Okay, stop hiding it, everyone knows about it! We thought before that you might not be willing to accept this marriage! Especially Lu Chen, how many good girls have we introduced to him over the years? Those with good family backgrounds, good looks, good personalities... there are so many of them! He didn't like any of them, but I didn't expect that he would accept this one!" Liu Aimin said.
"Yes! You Lu family are loyal!"
"That's it!" Several women gave a thumbs up.
"However, Lu Chen is nine years older than the bride. How did you decide on this childhood marriage?"
Lu Cheng lowered his head guiltily.
"Okay, okay, thank you sisters-in-law. We haven't decided on this matter yet! I'll let you know the good news when it's decided!" Lu Huaizheng felt that the more he talked about this matter, the more mistakes he would make. He felt that he had to discuss it with his eldest son.
"Hey, aren't we here to see the bride? Which one is it? Let's take a look, and then we'll leave!"
Everyone looked around the table, Xu Nuo stood up and said hello to everyone: "Hello, aunties, I am the bride you are talking about."
A group of people praised Xu Nuo for being "good-looking" and "pretty", and then left the scene one after another.
Seeing this, Zhang Man couldn't help but curl her lips: "Really? I was having dinner, but he came in, talked for a long time and left again! He even asked about my affairs right in front of me."
Cheng Wanying heard her complaining and explained, "You can't say that. Everyone is also concerned about your eldest brother's marriage."
After all, she is already 27 years old and has always refused to get married. Everyone who sees her would question her.
What's more, Lu Chen is the most outstanding among these young men from the big courtyards, and many girls are eyeing him!
Among the people who came over, half were concerned and half were curious.
This is human nature.
"Eat first." Lu Huaizheng glanced at his eldest son and decided to finish his meal first, giving himself some time to think and also giving Lu Chen some time to consider.
After dinner.
Lu Huaizheng called Lu Chen and Lu Cheng to the study room alone. He first scolded Lu Cheng and kicked him twice before starting to talk about the matter.
"You said that this matter has spread to everyone in the compound! If this marriage doesn't go through, what will outsiders think and say? You don't want your fiancée, but push her to your brother! Have you asked your brother about this matter? Have you asked Xu Nuo about his opinion?"
Lu Cheng raised his hand and scratched his head: "Xu Nuo was there at the time. Dad, I clarified the matter later. I don't know how Lei Ming, that bastard, spread it..."
Lu Huaizheng: "I think you are a piece of shit!"
There was a loud noise in the study. Lu Huaizheng was so angry at his youngest son that he smashed two teacups in one breath. If Lu Chen hadn't stopped him, the ashtray would have flown onto Lu Cheng's head.
"Mr. Lu, it has already happened. There is no point getting angry. Right now, the most important thing is how to resolve this matter." Cheng Wanying was so tired from eavesdropping outside the door that her waist ached. She couldn't help but push the door open.
Lu Huaizheng frowned and said nothing for a long time, but his eyes were looking at Lu Chen.
"Brother, what should we do about this?" Lu Cheng also looked at Lu Chen, with a pleading look in his eyes, "How about you agree? I think Xu Nuo is a good match for you! But don't worry, she's not just a country girl who knows nothing. This girl can play the violin!!"
Lu Cheng quickly told Lu Chen about the wonderful performance he had promised today.
"Why don't you want her if she's so good?" Lu Huaizheng asked a soul-searching question.
Lu Cheng hesitated: "This...Isn't this because I have a lover?"
"You're nothing!" Lu Huaizheng picked up the feather duster and was about to hit his son again.
"Dad!" Lu Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Since things have come to this point, I have to get married, so I'll get married."
Several people were stunned.
Immediately, Cheng Wanying reacted: "Chenchen, I'm sorry for wronging you. Your brother is a nobody, so you have to take the blame for this!"
"It doesn't matter." Lu Chen looked up at Cheng Wanying and said, "Mom, it was originally Lu Cheng's marriage, but now it's mine. As one of the parties involved in this matter, I think I should still ask Xu Nuo for her opinion. If she is willing to accept this and get married, our marriage can be successful. If she is not willing, even if the Lu family is scolded as ungrateful and their spine is broken, this marriage cannot be successful!"
