Wu Mei was scolded thoroughly by her own mother, leaving her completely stunned, "Mom, speak slowly, who did what to whom?" Mrs. Wu gritted her teeth in anger, and Wu Mei could clearly hear the sound of her mother’s teeth grinding through the phone, "I’m talking about your nephew from your in-law’s family, Lu Zechuan, who hit your nephew from your own family, Wu Yong!" Mrs. Wu was truly distressed. The Wu Family had eagerly awaited a male descendant for a long time, and he was raised with great care and affection. Even if his finger got a little cut, she would be heartbroken beyond words. But today, Lu Zechuan managed to rip off a piece of his scalp!! When Mrs. Wu saw Wu Yong at the hospital, she was so distressed that she nearly fainted on the spot. "Wu Mei, I’m warning you, you must make him give our Wu Family an explanation! Make him come and apologize to our Yong!" Mrs. Wu’s tone was firm and relentless, "Does being the heir of the Lu Family make him great? Does being the heir of the Lu Family allow him to do whatever he wants and bully people at will?" Listening to her mother’s incessant grumbling from the other end of the phone, Wu Mei only felt her head swelling. Having Lu Zechuan come over to apologize to Wu Yong? How could her mom have such daring thoughts! "Mom, you know what kind of person Wu Yong is! First, figure out what actually happened before you come to me demanding explanations!" Wu Mei hung up the phone abruptly, giving Mrs. Wu no time to react. Who is Lu Zechuan? He hit you, and he’d feel his hand was dirtied by it, yet you want him to apologize? What brand of pillow are you using to have such dreams? Lu Zefang, who was driving, lightly furrowed her brow, "Something happened to Ah Yong?" "Yes, he was beaten by Lu Zechuan." Wu Mei didn’t hide the truth. However, her words were tinged with exhaustion. Wu Mei thought she had dealt with Mrs. Wu and could find peace, but just after she hung up the phone from Mrs. Lu, she received a call from her brother. "Meizi, your nephew got beaten, and you’re not planning to do anything about it, are you?" Wu Jin’s voice was rough, filled with anger from the start. Wu Mei raised her hand to rub her temples and said patiently, "Brother, this matter, I can’t handle it either!" Though she holds the title of the eldest daughter-in-law in the Lu Family, who truly regards her? Everyone in the Lu Family either listens to the old one or the young one, as for those in between who are neither old nor young, they really don’t have the ability to command authority. Upon hearing Wu Mei’s words, Wu Jin got even angrier, "You useless thing, marrying into the Lu Family, what’s the point! In the Lu Family, even the servants dare to look down on you!" After saying this, Wu Jin decisively hung up the phone. Wu Mei frowned, her face looking extremely displeased. The eldest daughter-in-law!!! It sounds good, but how many truly respect and honor her?! No matter how much Lu Zhenhua cherishes her, in the Lu Family, he’s just a facade! The more Wu Mei thought about it, the angrier she got, and the air pressure in the car was equally low. Lu Zefang was focused on driving and did not take the initiative to speak further, as Wu Mei was in a bad mood, she didn’t want to provoke Wu Mei. Wu Mei doesn’t get along with Mrs. Lu or Shen Man, so she and Lu Zhenhua had moved out to live separately. They built a small house by the mountains in the outskirts of Beijing. When Wu Mei and Lu Zefang got home, they saw Lu Zhenhua’s car had also returned. Lu Zhenhua got out of the car, and the driver drove the vehicle into the garage. As soon as Lu Zhenhua saw Wu Mei, he immediately approached, "Ah Mei, weren’t you visiting my mom? Why do you seem unhappy? Did my mom provoke you again?" Lu Zhenhua was very attentive to Wu Mei, else the Wu Family wouldn’t be a match for the Lu Family based on family background alone. Wu Mei pouted, rolling her eyes in displeasure, "Isn’t it your good nephew!" Lu Zhenhua furrowed his brow, "What did Zechuan do to you?" This eldest nephew doesn’t have a great temper, but Wu Mei is at least his elder, if there’s any conflict, Lu Zechuan would save Wu Mei some dignity. "It wasn’t me, but he sent my nephew to the hospital!" Wu Mei glowered, "Lu Zechuan is too much, especially since it’s my nephew, he still acted, which shows he doesn’t regard us as elders!" Initially, Wu Mei didn’t plan to stick up for Wu Yong, but after being criticized by her mother and brother, she became increasingly distressed. Lu Zechuan is rubbing her face in the dirt! If she lets it go this time, would Lu Zechuan not consider her at all in the future? "Zechuan’s temper is like that, don’t take it seriously." Lu Zhenhua hurriedly tried to mediate, "After all, the entire Lu Group is now managed by Zechuan; he’s used to being the boss which cultivated his arrogant and dismissive personality." Wu Mei glared annoyedly at Lu Zhenhua, "Why did I ever fancy you, this blockhead!" After this, Wu Mei picked up her bag, and stomped inside wearing her twelve-centimeter high heels, twisting her waist. Lu Zefang stood aside and respectfully called out, "Dad, I’m back." Lu Zhenhua’s face lit up with a smile, "It’s good that you’re back! It’s good that you’re back! It’s late today, just rest; tomorrow, I’ll arrange a reception banquet for you to celebrate properly!" Lu Zefang smiled faintly, not refusing. She’s back; she couldn’t return silently. No matter what, she is the eldest granddaughter of the Lu Family. The return doesn’t need to be too grand, but she must let the few major families in Beijing know that she’s back. After all, she has reached the age for marriage talks and needs to find suitable husband prospects. On the Lu Family’s elder son side, Wu Mei went to her room, called her own mother, found out what happened, and when she knew the matter was caused by Xia Mian being nosy, her dislike for Xia Mian grew even stronger. Lying in bed, she plotted how to make Xia Mian pay for being nosy this time! Meanwhile, at the Lu Family’s old house, Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian went upstairs not long ago when Lu Zhenqing came in from outside, swaying with a bottle of wine. Shen Man had only been missing for two days, but Lu Zhenqing seemed to have lost his soul, unkempt and haggard, barely better than a homeless person on the street. Sister-in-law Zhang hurried forward to support him and asked caringly, "Second Master, what happened to you?" Lu Zhenqing didn’t say anything, just raised his hand to push Sister-in-law Zhang away, "I don’t need you to care, get out of my way!" Sister-in-law Zhang dared not truly leave him alone, the smell of alcohol was heavy, indicating he drank quite a bit, and if they let him make a scene here, it would alarm Mrs. Lu, causing everyone trouble. "Where’s that Lu Zechuan brat?" Lu Zhenqing’s eyes were red, full of hatred towards Lu Zechuan at this point. Sister-in-law Zhang said softly, "The Eldest Master has already retired for the night." Lu Zhenqing gritted his teeth, "He seems quite carefree! Still able to sleep!" Whenever he thought of whether Shen Man was dead or alive, Lu Zhenqing felt unbearable pain. In his mind, that man’s task replayed incessantly, extracting a vial of his son’s blood...
