Chapter 80 She actually dared to bring up divorce first, and she was right...
Lu Lin and Lu Chang didn't know what to say, and stayed in the study until dinner was ready before coming out.
Lu Lin had a cold face, while Lu Chang, though smiling, kept glancing at his older brother.
After finishing his meal, Lu Lin was about to go upstairs when Lu Chang stopped him.
"Brother, you are my hero, my role model. I believe you will make the right choice, and you know in your heart that what I did was right!"
Lu Lin gave him a deep look, then went upstairs without turning back.
The way he spoke so solemnly made Shen Rong a little nervous.
Lu Chang didn't come here to relax; is there some hidden mission involved?
Thinking about his recent flirting with Japanese people, and the fact that he had just returned from studying in Japan, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be...?
She placed her son in Zhang Ma's arms and went upstairs to find Lu Lin.
Lu Lin was taking a shower.
Shen Rong blocked the bathroom door again. Lu Lin turned off the water, leaned against the wall, and said helplessly, "Can we talk after I've finished showering? Don't you think it's inconvenient to communicate like this?"
Shen Rong said awkwardly, "You're not brushing your teeth."
If you don't use your mouth to move your hands, why can't you speak?
Lu Lin shook his head and turned the showerhead back on.
He was able to talk, but he felt the atmosphere wasn't suitable for discussing serious matters.
Even though only ten minutes had passed, Shen Rong felt like several hours had gone by. In the end, she picked up a book and started reading.
Finally, Lu Lin emerged from his bath.
She threw the book down and jumped off the bench at the foot of the bed.
"Why are you taking so long? I'm getting so impatient."
Lu Lin glanced at her, nonchalantly saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? Does he have a mission? Why are you so flustered?"
Shen Rong pulled him closer and whispered, "Aren't you afraid? He came back from Japan."
What if a traitor comes from the Lu family?
He was still laughing. What was he laughing at?! Shen Rong slapped him.
Lu Lin handed her a towel: "Dry my hair."
"Don't you have hands?" Shen Rong slapped his hand away.
Lu Lin glanced at her sideways: "Don't you want to know?"
Shen Rong glared at him, reluctantly took it, and roughly ruffled his hair twice: "Speak!"
Lu Lin pulled her hand down and took the towel himself.
He retorted calmly, "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on his movements? Didn't you find anything?"
Shen Rong frowned. She wasn't a professional police officer; what could she possibly discover?
He was either having fun with his friends or going out aimlessly, typical of a spoiled young master.
"You know that the Northern Expeditionary Army has almost completely wiped out the warlords in various regions, right?"
Shen Rong nodded. She knew that Pingcheng had been captured by the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Now that she thought about it, only the Dou family remained to be taken down. She immediately realized what was happening and stood up: "He is..."
He lowered his voice again: "Is he from Jincheng?"
Lu Lin: "He is a special envoy sent by Jincheng for peace talks."
"This is a good thing! Why do you have to do it secretly..." Shen Rong didn't finish her sentence.
If they come with great fanfare, they'll probably be wiped out by the Japanese before they even enter Bincheng.
Shen Rong tensed up: "The Japanese don't know, do they? My third brother won't be in any danger, will he?"
Lu Lin: "Don't tell anyone about this yet."
Shen Rong nodded; she naturally knew that.
However, Lu Chang was quite audacious, having previously flaunted his power everywhere, even going so far as to swagger through Japanese territory.
Lu Lin laughed: "The people from the Jincheng government sent him here because of his background."
Shen Rong glanced at Lu Lin and thought that the bigger reason was probably because he was Lu Lin's younger brother.
Everyone knows that Lu Lin is Dou Wenliang's right-hand man and is highly valued. The Jincheng government probably wants to influence Dou Wenliang through Lu Lin.
"Did you agree to his request?" Shen Rong asked.
Lu Lin looked up at Chen Rong, his eyes serious: "Then do you think I should agree?"
Shen Rong looked at him steadily and nodded solemnly: "I should."
Lu Lin smiled: "I understand."
He pulled Shen Rong down to sit, resting his head on her shoulder, looking utterly exhausted.
"What's wrong? Is something not going well up in the north?" Shen Rong's heart softened, and she gently stroked his head.
"good."
He called out Shen Rong's name, his expression serious.
Shen Rong immediately straightened her posture and asked him what was wrong.
“We made an agreement that we would get a divorce after the child is born…!” Lu Lin hadn’t finished speaking.
Damn it, he really has someone else outside! Shen Rong turned hostile and suddenly pushed him off the bed. Not satisfied with that, she jumped on him and beat him up.
"Tell me, did you seduce a vixen?!" Shen Rong's fair face suddenly flushed red with anger.
Her eyes were blazing with fury, as if she wanted to burn him to ashes!
"I hadn't even finished speaking when you turned on me. Isn't that a bit too fast?"
He restrained both of her hands, and unable to move them, she started kicking with her feet.
Having no other choice, Lu Lin could only roll over and pin her down.
"I didn't mean divorce... Let me finish..."
Shen Rong was filled with thoughts of losing both her money and her lover, and she couldn't suppress her anger. She wouldn't listen to anything, and with Cao Fengyi's veiled remarks during the day, she was even more certain.
To her surprise, Lu Lin could still laugh. Was he laughing at her for being stupid? She felt like biting him to death.
How dare he bring up divorce first, even though she's been so good to him!
Shen Rong's nose tingled, and her eyes filled with tears. She was controlled by him again, and a sense of sadness welled up in her heart. She felt very wronged.
She opened her mouth and looked up to bite his face, but Lu Lin turned his head away, her lips brushing against his cheek, warm and soft.
“I told you our son’s biting habit is something he learned from you,” Lu Lin said helplessly.
Seeing her with tears in her eyes, Lu Lin's heart clenched: "Let me finish what I have to say. If you don't want to get a divorce, then we won't."
Shen Rong felt a lump in her throat and gritted her teeth: "Fine, let's get a divorce! If you don't, you're a coward! And don't even think about having a son!"
"Grandma, can you let me finish what I have to say?" Lu Lin was really at his wit's end. Seeing that she was about to run away, he could only put one arm around her waist to prevent her from running away. But when Shen Rong got angry, she was harder to control than an ox.
It was just a tentative question, but it turned into a hornet's nest. Lu Lin was filled with regret, even though he explained that he didn't mean it that way and that he respected Shen Rong's opinion, and that it was fine if she didn't want to leave.
Who knew these words would be even more shocking? Shen Rong wanted to die and leave.
This is probably a perfect example of someone like Lu Lin who ended up shooting himself in the foot.
He just wanted them to leave Bincheng first. Now the situation is even more chaotic. Bincheng is under pressure from both the Jincheng government and Japan, and a war might break out.
Lu Lin simply wanted them to go back to Pingcheng or their hometown for a while, and then talk to them again once the situation stabilized.
He had this idea on his way back, and it became even clearer after meeting Lu Chang. Perhaps the atmosphere between the two of them was too good during their conversation, and he couldn't help but want to test her feelings.
His feelings had been tested, but it also ignited a powder keg. Now she's demanding a divorce, which has scared Lu Lin so much that he hasn't dared to go home for several days.
Lu Chang was biting into an apple when he watched his younger sister discussing the menu with Zhang Ma. He was a little confused. The atmosphere at home was so tense, how could she still have the mind to bring her classmates back for dinner?
They didn't even try to persuade their sister-in-law; they're so inconsiderate!
Lu Xuan rolled her eyes at him as he complained: "You don't understand. This isn't the first time. Last time it was even bigger, but they didn't get divorced and even had a nephew. Just wait, it won't be long before they make up."
Lu Chang was surprised. They had already caused trouble once! Didn't Dad break their legs?
He looked up at the building and realized that the two of them were treating divorce as a form of marital fun. No wonder his second brother and sister-in-law were so calm.
He threw the fruit pit into the trash can, and when he heard a noise upstairs, he went downstairs.
"Little sister, go call him and tell him to come home for dinner tonight."
Lu Xuan stood up, somewhat embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, why don't you do the hitting?"
She was a little afraid of her older brother's cold demeanor and dared not provoke him.
Shen Rong stared at her intently, her face expressionless.
“I’ll fight, I’ll fight,” Shen Chang volunteered.
Noticing that Shen Rong's makeup was exquisite and she looked like she was about to leave, he felt a little uneasy. After all, he had never seen the scale of a divorce first time, and without comparison, he felt that his sister-in-law's outfit was just short of packing a suitcase and leaving home.
"Where are you going, sister-in-law?" he asked shamelessly. "Do you want me to come with you?"
Shen Rong glanced at him: "No need."
A moment later, the sound of a car starting up came from outside the door, and Lu Chang was somewhat worried.
Lu Xuan urged him to call his older brother quickly.
“Your sister-in-law has gone out. Aren’t you worried at all? What if…” he lowered his voice, “What if your sister-in-law just leaves like this?”
He had witnessed his sister-in-law's temper these past few days. A woman who could drive his brother away was not someone to be trifled with. He had heard that many women who were getting divorced would choose an ordinary day to go out as usual, and then... and then send their husbands a divorce agreement.
I need to call my older brother. My sister-in-law's expression is strange; there's longing in her eyes, perhaps a yearning for freedom.
Lu Xuan touched his forehead: "Third brother, have you gone stupid from studying too much?"
Thinking about all sorts of random things just scares myself.
She shook her head with a look of disdain: "You don't understand your sister-in-law at all. She would never leave without taking anything, and what about Xiaoming? How could she bear to part with him?"
Oh right, I forgot about my nephew. Lu Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xuan patted his shoulder: "Third brother, hurry up and find me a sister-in-law. That way you'll know how important clothes and jewelry are to women. My sister-in-law can't bear to leave all of these behind. Wouldn't that be a good deal for you, brother? She went shopping because she was upset. She was going to invite me and my second sister-in-law, but I was busy and my second sister-in-law had to go to the hospital, so she made plans with someone else."
Even though my sister-in-law only took a handbag when she left and didn't bring anything else, I'm afraid she won't be able to fit everything in the car when she comes back.
The eldest brother is about to suffer a huge loss, but he doesn't deserve any sympathy. If the eldest brother hadn't offended the eldest sister-in-law, the atmosphere at home wouldn't be so tense. She's even worried that her friends might be frightened when they come over.
Lu Chang called Lu Lin and first told him about Shen Rong's trip. Lu Lin's reaction was the same as Lu Xuan's; he didn't make a fuss.
However, he did ask a couple more questions about Shen Rong's expression at the time, and whether she had taken her anger out on anyone.
Lu Chang shuddered at the thought of that cold look: "Sister-in-law's face is terribly cold. Brother, if there's nothing else, you two should make up. We haven't been eating well lately."
It must be tough for your brother to work so hard, leaving early and coming home late every day while trying to avoid your sister-in-law. Since it was just a joke, you should make up with him as soon as possible and stop tormenting him.
Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He would have been more worried if Shen Rong hadn't taken her anger out on him. If she hadn't, it meant she had made up her mind, and then he was really in trouble.
"I see."
Let her go shopping and vent her anger first, then he can apologize properly tonight, and the problem should be solved.
Remembering his initial reason for making the call, Lu Chang said, "Big brother, there's one more thing, my little sister's classmate..."
"Your sister-in-law is here," Lu Lin suddenly said, then the phone clicked off.
Lu Chang was a little confused. He looked at the phone. His sister-in-law had arrived?
His sister-in-law went shopping? Could it be...? His eyes widened. Had his sister-in-law gone to cause trouble for his brother?
He quickly put the phone back, feeling a little smug. He glanced around and, seeing that no one was watching him, pretended to put the phone away properly, unable to suppress the smirk on his face.
With your sister-in-law's temper, your brother will have a hard time putting up with her!
