Lu An'an's words shocked her father and the other three.
Doesn't that mean that the Lu family has long been targeted by Lu Yanhua and her master? Or that even the disappearance of their beloved daughter/sister was their doing?
Lu An'an suppressed the turmoil in her heart and tried to clear her mind. She carefully pondered this series of mysteries and suddenly caught a glimpse of an unusual clue.
But why wasn't the replacement of Second Uncle successful?
As her thoughts became clearer, Lu An'an's eyes grew brighter!
Are they Grandma and Grandpa? They saw through Lu Yanhua's scheme and were prepared!
Lu Wenjing also figured out the strange thing about it.
The fact that Uncle Er wasn't switched means that Grandpa and Grandma had a premonition and thus thwarted Lu Yanhua's scheme beforehand. If that's the case, then Grandma and Grandpa's disappearance becomes quite intriguing. Did Lu Yanhua secretly trick them into hiding, or did they choose to withdraw from the world for some unknown reason? These questions can only be answered after Grandpa and Grandma are found.
After sorting out the matter, Lu An'an turned her attention to Lu Minghuai.
[Speaking of which, if my second uncle knew that I took his son, Lu Yixuan, to the police station for questioning, would he disown me? Should I bring this up?]
Lu Yanli's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke first: "Second Uncle, do you know that Lu Yixuan is at the police station right now?"
Lu Minghuai's pupils widened in surprise. "He's at the police station? What did he do?"
Lu Yanli frowned slightly, staring at his second uncle's unusually calm face amidst his astonishment. A strange feeling ran through his heart. Apart from surprise, his second uncle's face showed no other emotions. It was as if he had just heard that someone he knew had suddenly committed a crime and been arrested by the police. Apart from the initial surprise, there were no deeper emotional waves. There was neither anxious inquiry nor deep worry.
This unusual situation prompted Lu Yanli to ask, his voice tinged with inquiry and confusion: "Second Uncle, why do you seem to show little concern or worry beyond your surprise?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Minghuai suddenly felt that he seemed to have the most burdens among the three brothers. However, he could only smile bitterly, with a hint of imperceptible heaviness in his voice, "This is a long story. Lu Yixuan is not my child."
An expression of disbelief reappeared on Lu An'an's face.
[Wow! Uncle's ability to stir up trouble is amazing!]
Lu Mingqian felt the shock of the night was like a tide, one wave higher than the next, and finally all of it converged on his second brother, Lu Minghuai. "Yixuan is not your child, so what's going on?"
Lu Minghuai was extremely embarrassed at this moment. This was somewhat of his own gossip, and it was a bit embarrassing to talk about it in front of the younger generation.
His ears turned bright red. "Brother, do you remember the old lady held a birthday banquet a few years ago? She brought along a young lady whose family I don't know."
Lu Mingqian recalled for a moment and remembered: "I think her name is Hou Xiaoling?"
Lu Minghuai nodded slightly, a complex look flashing in his eyes. "Yes, it's her. Big brother should know that although we've only been back to the old house a handful of times over the years, every time we go back, the old lady harbors a lot of malice towards my wife. At that birthday banquet, she introduced that young lady to me, and her words implied that she wanted to match us up."
Lu Mingxu was at a loss for words. "Does the old lady want you to divorce your second sister-in-law and marry that woman?"
Lu Minghuai smiled helplessly: "Yes, she doesn't like your second sister-in-law, so she wanted to find me someone she likes."
“She was afraid I wouldn’t agree, so she tried to drug me and force me into marriage. But when she and that other woman were plotting, your second sister-in-law overheard them. So your second sister-in-law and I decided to play along. That night, we pretended to have been drugged and stayed at the old house. In the middle of the night, that woman came into my room. She thought I was the one she had sex with, but actually, it was someone I had hired from outside that night.”
"Later, she got pregnant, and the old lady took the opportunity to threaten me, demanding that I divorce your second sister-in-law immediately. But I refused her firmly and even told her to make that woman abort the child. I had a falling out with the old lady and didn't care anymore. Who knew that 10 months later, the old lady called me and said that the woman had given birth to the child."
Lu Minghuai gave a mocking laugh: "Actually, I knew this child would stay no matter what. Since she wants the child, then let it stay with her. The old lady just wants to use that child as leverage against me. Coincidentally, this is also a surprise I'm giving her."
Lu An'an was incredibly excited when she heard this!
[Well done! The old lady was really tricked time and time again, hahaha!]
Lu's parents, Lu Wenjing, and Lu Yanli were clearly surprised to find out the truth. This night was full of twists and turns, each one different and astonishing.
No wonder the Lu family is a villain concentration camp; even if you take Uncle Lu's second and third uncles individually, they'd be villain material.
[This is terrifying! With the female lead group sharing the same waterlogged brain, how can they possibly fight against our incredibly intelligent villain group? They're just being toyed with like puppets!]
"Hahahahaha!"
Lu An'an's thoughts became more and more wonderful and she became happier and happier, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
All eyes immediately turned to Lu An'an, who gave a slightly embarrassed "hehe" sound.
