Chapter 135 Young and inexperienced, old and faded.
Perhaps it was his natural sensitivity to bad things, but Lu Jin realized something was wrong the moment he heard the sound. Fortunately, he covered Xia Zhen's eyes in time, otherwise she would have seen that bloody scene.
Lu Jin quickly thought of Lu Qi. There are indeed coincidences in this world, but Lu Jin does not believe in deliberate coincidences.
In that instant, he did feel angry, not because of Lu Qi's ruthless methods, but because Xia Zhen was there.
Xia Zhen was far too important to him. He was clearly a despicable person, yet he still had to pretend to be virtuous and upright in front of her, just because he didn't want her to see anything bad.
Lu Qi smiled leisurely and said, "Perhaps it was justice from heaven, and even the heavens couldn't stand it anymore, which is why Lu Chang'an encountered a little setback. You can't blame all the mistakes on me."
During this period, Lu Chang'an was on tenterhooks, worried that Lu Qi might use some means to deal with them, but life was unusually peaceful, as if Lu Qi had forgotten about them.
But that's impossible, after all, Lu Qi is a petty and narrow-minded man.
Just as Lu Chang'an was about to make a move against Lu Jin, he got into a car accident. Who would believe that no one was watching him?
Lu Jin asked calmly, "Is this your style of doing things, ignoring everything else?"
Lu Qi smiled but remained silent.
Indeed, he has always acted without restraint. If he weren't like that, Lin Ruo would have been someone else's wife long ago.
Lu Jin's voice was somewhat cold, "I don't care what means you use to achieve your goals, as long as your plans don't involve the people I care about."
"Even if I involve people you care about, what can you do about it?" Lu Qi rested his chin on the table and chuckled with amusement. "You're still too young to be fully grown. I can clip your wings and crush you in the cradle at any time."
“You will grow old one day.” Lu Jin said calmly, “I am indeed still young and inexperienced, but you are already old and faded. I heard that my mother is much younger than you. When she wakes up and sees you who is about to turn fifty, she probably won’t recognize you.”
Lu Qi's eyelids twitched.
Lu Jin had already discovered that Lu Qi had been secretly taking care of himself. For women, age is a big taboo, but for some men, it is also a very important issue.
Lu Qi is older than Lin Ruo, which has always been a concern for him. He has always hoped that Lin Ruo will wake up one day, and he doesn't want her to wake up to find him old.
Lu Jin is indeed very talented at touching people's hearts.
Lu Jin said calmly, "If you're so capable, turn me into a cripple right now. Otherwise, when you're old, you won't even have the right to share a hospital room with her."
Lu Qi laughed twice without any emotion. "The possibility you're talking about is nothing more than taking advantage of the fact that you're Ruoruo's son."
"Yes, that's what I'm relying on." Lu Jinyi's eyes were completely calm, and his tone was equally composed. "I have this advantage, so why can't I use it?"
Lu Qi smiled, a typical forced smile, while Lu Jin's open admission left him helpless.
Just because Lu Jin is Lin Ruo's son, Lu Qi cannot recklessly treat him the same way he treats others.
After all, he was still waiting for the day Lin Ruo woke up so he could use their shared bloodline to appeal to her emotions.
Lu Jin was well aware that Lu Qi's actions against Lu Chang'an behind his back were not based on the fact that his son had been bullied for so many years, and therefore, as a father, he wanted to stand up for his son.
They all knew very well that Lu Qi didn't really have any feelings for the child; at most, he just found it amusing to tease him.
There is only one reason why Lu Qi would take action: it is because Lu Jin is Lin Ruo's child.
Lu Qi seems to lack normal human emotions, making him difficult to manipulate; in fact, his weaknesses are quite obvious.
The biggest difference between Lu Jin and Lu Chang'an is that Lu Jin doesn't care how deep his father's feelings are for him. Therefore, Lu Jin can easily rely on being Lin Ruo's child to make Lu Qi think twice.
But Lu Qi was not about to admit defeat. He calmly took a sip of tea and said in a calm tone, "You're using your mother to threaten me now. That's a very bad start. Maybe in ten years or so, you'll be in my shoes."
"Won't."
He spoke with such certainty that Lu Qi looked up at the boy in front of him.
Lu Jin said, "Zhenzhen and I will not have children."
Therefore, he will never be threatened by his child.
Lu Qi laughed out loud: "No children? You're dreaming. Lu Jin, when I married your mother, I didn't even think about having children."
“I’m different from you.” Lu Jin’s eyes were slightly upturned, showing pride in the girl and a hint of relief. “Zhenzhen and I don’t need a child to bind us together.”
The composed smile on Lu Qi's face vanished.
Lu Jin's phone had already vibrated several times. He knew without a doubt who was contacting him so frequently.
He should go back and reply to the message.
So Lu Jin said very politely, "It's getting late, I wish you sweet dreams tonight."
Watching the boy's departing figure, Lu Qi slowly let out a "heh".
He was actually ridiculed.
He actually got ridiculed one day?!
When Lu Jin came out of the study, he saw a tall woman with teary eyes.
Lu Yuan's eyes were brimming with tears. She said pitifully, "Lu Jin, your father said you want me to move out. Is that true? Do you hate me that much? Do you also think that my life has no meaning or value?"
Lu Yuan is usually a mature and sophisticated woman, so why does she cry as if she can't stop shedding tears?
And what she said was really problematic!
Lu Jin was silent for a moment, then said, "I didn't know you were moving out."
Lu Yuan's eyes lit up. "Really? Lu Jin, you don't want me to move out, do you!?"
Lu Jin did not answer the question, but said with some difficulty, "But that person just mentioned you again in the study."
"What did he say?"
"You're so annoying."
Lu Yuan's expression changed. "I knew it was him who wanted me to move out!"
She stormed straight toward the study, shouting, "Lu Qi, if you're so capable of finding me annoying, then don't blame it on Lu Jin! You insidious little man who's trying to sow discord between us, aunt and niece!"
Lu Qi looked at Lu Yuan who suddenly rushed in, sighed deeply, and raised his hand to his forehead.
