Chapter 67
"Cousin, what kind of guest is more important than me? After all, I am your brother, and we are a family." Lu Liang was obviously a little angry.
Shen Mingwan was about to persuade him to leave when a voice suddenly popped into the ears of the three people in the audience:
[A family? Ahahaha, he actually said that.]
[I am so filial that my teeth are falling out. I am so filial that I am dying.]
[If you give her money, she's a good sister. If you don't give her money, she's an old witch. She's still a family, she's still a cousin. This person is probably a fool. He really thinks others are stupid.]
The expressions on Li Ru's face changed constantly, especially when he heard about that old witch, his face turned pale.
Although her cousin didn't have a good reputation outside, he always behaved very obediently in front of her, and basically helped her whenever she had something to ask for over the years.
"Uncle, if you have something to say, can you wait a while?" Shen Mingwan said politely while keeping a distance, "Or, you can sit down and have dinner with us, and we can talk later."
Although I don't know what happened today, he is the bodyguard in the living room of my cousin's house, and he can't ask for money in public.
Lu Liang snorted coldly: "It just so happens that I haven't eaten either."
After saying that, he found a seat and sat down, kicking the corgi under the table with his foot. The little corgi howled a few times and ran away.
[This eldest grandson is still doing his job, so awesome! If the Shen family doesn’t continue to have more relatives, they will probably get into trouble.]
[Also, what he did to Shen Mingwan, surely no one knows about it yet!]
What did you do to Shen Mingwan?
Li Ru's expression became serious. Although this cousin was uneducated, he would never do anything excessive in front of her, let alone to her son.
Shen Mingwan was also a little confused. Although he and his uncle didn't get along well, their relationship wasn't strained.
He really had no idea what Lu Liang had done to him, and the only person who knew the answer was probably Mo Keyu.
So, the mother and son looked at Mo Keyu almost at the same time, eager to know what was going on, but she was currently browsing her phone with her head down.
[Oh my god, Gu’s family is on the trending search! ]
[Oh, the video of the Gu family's illegitimate child calling daddy has leaked.]
[Shen Mingli should take action now! Go!]
Li Ru: ...
Shen Mingwan: ...
"The dishes are ready, why aren't you eating yet?" Lu Liang looked at them and simply picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"You can start eating now. You're welcome."
Li Ruzhao gestured to Mo Zhengtian, who then started to eat. He even nudged Mo Keyu with his elbow:
"Keyu, don't keep playing with your phone in other people's homes."
"Okay." Mo Keyu put away his phone, still thinking about the hot search just now.
No wonder he didn’t go home tonight, it turned out he had something to deal with. But if it were to be exposed now, wouldn’t that be a direct declaration of war against Gu Qun?
Could it be that he already had evidence that could convict the other party? But where did he get this evidence?
Her brain was working at high speed, making so much noise that Ms. Li Ru couldn't help rubbing her ears. Mo Zhengtian had long been immune to it and had developed the ability to let it go in one ear and out the other, and he was still eating calmly.
Lu Liang didn't know anything about the table. He just picked up the food leisurely and ate with great relish.
"By the way, Lu Liang, I heard that my uncle was hospitalized recently. Is he okay?" Li Ru asked.
Li Ru mentioned the Lu family, which brought Mo Keyu back to gossiping about Lu Liang.
"It's still the same. I'm always hospitalized from time to time." Lu Liang said in a flat tone, with a bowl of food in his bowl.
"Why did he go to the hospital again? He has been going there too frequently recently." Li Ru said, a little worried.
[Oh, it’s because this one is so big!]
[He said he was going to invest his family's money, but ended up gambling and lost hundreds of millions in one night.]
[This is why no matter how rich you are, you still fear mental disability...]
"Ouch."
Mo Zhengtian pushed so hard that he almost knocked over Mo Keyu's bowl. Fortunately, Mo Keyu quickly caught it when it flew into the air, but a few vegetables fell on the table.
“Tsk.”
Lu Liang looked at the father and daughter with disgust. They were so rude that they even threw food onto the table during meals. What kind of earth turtle actually sat at the same table with them?
"Ahem," Mo Zhengtian started coughing again, and tried to pick up some food for Mo Keyu. "Keyu, look, this is your favorite dish, just concentrate on eating it."
Mo Zhengtian's back was already soaked with cold sweat. Although the youngest son of the Lu family was indeed not very capable, he was still a relative of the other family. Even if the other person was a bad person, he should not curse him so harshly in his heart.
Li Ru didn't mind the other person dropping food while eating. She waved gently to the person next to her, and the nanny took the tablecloth and wiped the residue on the table.
Shen Mingwan pricked up his ears. He lost hundreds of millions in one night and was afraid that his father would break his legs.
"Cousin, my dad is just too controlling. If he had ignored me and let me hang out outside alone, I wouldn't have to lie in the hospital bed. Now I'm half dead." Lu Liang continued, even complaining a little.
"After all, your father is doing this for your own good."
"What do you mean by 'for my own good'? You all say it's for my own good, but it's just restricting my freedom."
[He is free to speak or not, but he has learned nothing good. However, he is good at eating, drinking, gambling, and other things.]
[To be honest, it's all out of habit. If this relative continues to behave like this, it will definitely become a disaster in the future.]
[We are born with a silver key in our mouths. We have everything we want and can easily get anything we want. As we grow up, we naturally seek excitement and want to try new things.]
[If you send someone out before their values and outlook on life mature, and don’t find someone to help them get used to it, they will naturally be targeted. There are special groups out there that target the second-generation rich who are stupid and have a lot of money.]
[It seems that acquired education is really important.]
[So, Ms. Li Ru is really well-mannered and good at educating. She has educated both of her children so well.]
[Shen's father has not let the identity of a father be missing in the family. The family atmosphere is quite good. The old man needs to learn more.]
Li Ru had already lost her patience at this point. Facing this cousin who was almost the same age as her son, she could not say anything more for the sake of the elders of the Lu family.
Because she had a son in her old age, Lu Liang's mother pampered him. When he grew up, she found that he was crooked. The mother said it was just a lot of noise but no action, and Lu Liang didn't buy it at all.
This is how they became the lawless people they are today.
His father also cut off his financial support, so he now goes to the homes of nearby relatives for meals whenever he has time. Later, his eldest sister was restricted from providing him with financial support, so he had to turn to his cousin Li Ru for help.
After all, they are relatives, and Li Ru has watched him grow up. It is impossible for her to just sit there and do nothing. But after it happened once, it became an endless problem.
"Sister Mo, it's okay. Eat whatever you want. I often hear my brother mention you, and I want to know more about you."
Shen Mingwan ignored Lu Liang and smiled at Mo Keyu, which made Mo Keyu relax a lot.
Li Ru originally held the banquet in order to get to know the daughter of the Mo family who was close to the eldest son, but now it seems that Lu Liang has already messed with it halfway.
"Okay." said Mo Keyu.
Lu Liang was not quiet during his meal. He suddenly looked at Shen Mingwan and Mo Keyu with suspicion: "What? Mingwan, is this your girlfriend?"
Shen Mingwan quickly denied: "No, this is my brother..."
Shen Mingwan hurriedly stopped what he was going to say next, it seemed that they had not announced this matter yet.
Mo Keyu was still thinking about what Shen Mingwan meant by that.
So, do they think they are Shen Mingli’s girlfriend?
But wasn't she hiding it well? Besides, Shen Mingli didn't say he would be her boyfriend.
Lu Liang let out a long "oh" and started talking again:
"Tomorrow night, you are so charming. When I saw you sitting at the same table with the beauties, I felt that they were definitely your girlfriends. You used to get along well with a female classmate when you were in high school. What a pity, tsk tsk."
Perhaps it touched Shen Mingwan's heart deeply, he suddenly stood there, lost in thought.
Shen Mingwan has been a child of other families since he was young. He does not have the stubborn temperament of a young master, so naturally he has been pursued by countless men and women. However, he did not respond and just studied hard to prepare for further studies.
When he was in high school and was still young and ignorant about love, he had a crush on a girl, but the relationship didn't last long.
"Tomorrow night, I didn't expect that she would actually like me!" Lu Liang's tone was even a little proud when he said this, "You said, this girl is really serious, she actually fell in love with someone else halfway. I told her that she worshiped money. . Fortunately, I helped you see this person’s true face in advance.”
Hearing this, Shen Mingwan, who usually has a good temper, couldn't help but frown.
Even though they were no longer together, he still felt uncomfortable hearing other people say bad things about the girl.
[Bullshit! How can they be materialistic? They obviously have their own reasons!]
Hardships?
Shen Mingwan's eyes lit up instantly, and he stared at Mo Keyu who was concentrating on eating.
Li Ru also looked at Mo Keyu. Lu Liang was still talking to himself and no one at the table paid any attention to him.
[The two had a crush on each other in high school, but unfortunately something happened to the girl's family and they were in urgent need of money.]
[In order to get rid of their debts, the girl's parents had no choice but to rely on the Lu family and try their best to please them.]
[It just so happened that the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Liang, was also in the same class. The girl’s family knew about this and put pressure on the girl to please Lu Liang.]
[Even though she and Shen Mingwan had held hands and expressed their feelings to each other, she was unable to ask for help.]
[Perhaps, in her eyes, Shen Mingwan is the unattainable pearl, and she has fallen into the dust. The more she likes him, the more inferior she feels.]
[It’s because I like him that I can’t open my mouth. I’m afraid that Shen Mingwan will think that I’m just like everyone else, and that I’m attracted to him because of his family background.]
[But at that time... there was too much helplessness.]
"Let me tell you, Xiao Qian, well, she's pretty, but she's just so-so compared to the beauties out there."
Lu Liang was getting more and more excited as he spoke, not realizing that the person next to him looked completely strange.
[The girl’s family tried their best to please Lu Liang, the idiot, and always asked the girl to send gifts to this guy. Over time, everyone spread the rumor that the girl was in contact with this second generation.]
[No way, there's something even worse. Lu Liang was so jealous of Shen Mingwan that he went crazy and forbade girls to come visit Mingwan, or else he would have his father cut off her family's financial chain.]
[Ah? Then the girl cried every night, lived a very depressed life, and finally had no choice but to break up with Mingwan.]
[Shen Mingwan then left the country heartbroken. What a pity that such a pure relationship came to an end.]
Shen Mingwan clenched his fists, pursed his lower lips, and looked deep. He just sat there in silence, but his emotions were constantly surging.
He had never thought that Xiao Qian would encounter such a thing back then. He had wavered and doubted her, but later he realized that he was also wrong back then.
If he hadn't given up, if he hadn't doubted Xiao Qian, if he had trusted Xiao Qian a little more...
"Tomorrow night, you need to improve your vision in this regard. No matter how hard you tried to pursue her, she just wouldn't follow you. But she was particularly obedient to me. She did whatever I told her to do. Her parents were also very nice to me. Maybe they fell in love with me. Let's just say, her family is full of sycophants..."
With a loud thud, a man was knocked to the ground by a punch.
Everyone was stunned where they were. Mo Keyu also raised his head and saw Shen Mingwan with his fists clenched and a gloomy face.
Lu Liang collapsed to the ground, stars were popping out of his head, his face was burning with pain, and he stared with his eyes wide open for a long time without reacting.
The food was all over the floor. No, was he beaten?
He was still beaten by Shen Mingwan!
