Chapter 18 Manta Rose: Let me formally introduce my husband, Lu Yan…

Chapter 18 Manta Rose: Let me formally introduce my husband, Lu Yan…

At one o'clock in the morning, Gu Qianyue paid Gu Xianyue for the smear article, but when she saw that Gu Xianyue's number of followers on Weibo and other platforms had increased instead of decreased, she was so angry that she trembled. Then she thought of how Xia Weiwei had offended Lu Yanzhou, and a smile appeared on her face.

Soon it will be the day for her and Lu Yanzhou's parents to meet, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she and Lu Yanzhou will get engaged.

With Lu Yanzhou.

Imagine taking flight in happiness.

Lu Qingshi, Bai Ying, the Lu family patriarch, and Lu Qibai arrived in the capital on July 17th, where they were received by Lu Yanzhou.

"Where is my granddaughter-in-law?" Old Master Lu looked past him, but didn't see the girl. His eyebrows drooped instantly.

"I didn't let her come." Lu Yanzhou said casually, without any sense of propriety, as he leaned back lazily in his chair.

"Why?!" Old Master Lu's tone was clearly impatient.

"As you know, she's pregnant. It must be so hard for her to come all this way. I feel sorry for my wife. Besides, she'll be able to see us tomorrow, won't she?"

He finished speaking nonsensically and caught the orange that the man tossed into the air.

Go back and make orange juice for A-Yue.

Lu Yanzhou stood up and said this. Old Master Lu looked at Lu Qingshi, seeing his clingy and doting behavior towards his wife.

It's amazing that this kid was able to settle down and didn't follow in his father's footsteps.

Lu Yanzhou stopped halfway and turned around.

"By the way, I bet you haven't seen a picture of my wife yet, have you?"

"I'll be generous and show you what a fairy is."

Lu Yanzhou pulled up the video of Xia Weiwei's birthday fan meeting on his phone, and finally showed everyone a picture of her on a huge poster.

"Need not……"

Before Old Master Lu could even finish saying "look," his pupils widened as he saw that the photo on Lu Yanzhou's phone was of Xia Weiwei.

If I remember correctly, weren't they just trending on social media because of their disagreement?

Having weathered a lifetime of storms, Old Master Lu was completely taken aback by Lu Yanzhou's actions.

Not only Grandpa Lu, but also Lu Qibai and his parents all looked surprised.

She doesn't look like Gu Qianyue in the photo.

This is Xia Weiwei, his arch-nemesis, and you're her biggest hater!

...

Lu Yanzhou went to receive the Lu family in the afternoon, and Xia Weiwei wanted to ask for half a day off to go with him.

"Won't this interfere with your filming?" Lu Yanzhou's peach blossom eyes slanted upwards, his playful tone unrestrained. "A-Yue, just say you want to come with me."

"No, you go by yourself."

Lu Yanzhou waved his hand and walked out. Xia Weiwei watched his tall, swaying back and shouted, "Don't talk bad about me! Don't slander me again for loving you so much, and don't say it's because I'm busy with work. Give me an excuse."

The man walked out of the room without replying.

Xia Weiwei finished filming at 7 p.m. and was looking at her chat history with Lu Yanzhou on her way back to the hotel.

The last time we chatted was five hours ago, when he said he had arrived at the villa.

Lu Yanzhou's villa in Hai Tiandi is not just for show; he stays there when he comes to Beijing. If it weren't for the fact that he has to take care of her three meals a day, he could easily stay in Hai Tiandi.

Her previous idea of ​​married life with Lu Yanzhou was that he would be busy with his own things, and she would be busy with hers. The two of them would not interfere with each other's lives, and Lu Yanzhou would at most provide financial support.

As a result, she doesn't know how things have turned out, but she's now living with Lu Yanzhou.

After careful consideration, Xia Weiwei concluded that Lu Yanzhou was too eloquent, and she was too honest.

However, Lu Yanzhou did take good care of her.

[Manta: Are you coming back tonight?]

Lu Yanzhou did not reply even after the car arrived at the hotel entrance.

She must be entertaining family members, Xia Weiwei can understand.

"Baby, you'll have to sleep with Mommy tonight. Daddy's busy."

Xia Weiwei stepped out of the elevator and gave some instructions to the baby in her belly.

"You're just going to lie to my daughter like this?" Lu Yanzhou's voice suddenly came from behind her, startling her.

Xia Weiwei slowly turned her head: "You're back?"

"Of course I came back. My wife is here. Where else could I go?"

Lu Yanzhou went to throw out the trash. After he finished, he figured it was about time for her to come back, so he waited for her by the elevator.

He saw her come out and called out to her, but heard her muttering to herself.

"Since you're home, why didn't you reply to my messages?" the girl said angrily, her eyes both alluring and seductive.

Lu Yanzhou smiled and said, "You want me to reply to your message that badly?"

Xia Weiwei: "!"

Lu Yanzhou bent down and picked her up horizontally. Xia Weiwei was caught off guard and quickly wrapped her arms around the man's neck.

"To avoid scaring you again, it's safer in my arms."

"Stop fooling around, what if someone sees us?"

Xia Weiwei tried to push him down, but the man didn't answer. He took a long stride and walked to the door of room 7701 in a few steps, then swiped his card to go inside.

Once inside, Lu Yanzhou knelt down to change her shoes. A sudden thought flashed through Xia Weiwei's mind: she had never seen anyone else on this floor when she came back.

Could it be that Lu Yanzhou has booked this entire floor?

Believe it or not, it's actually quite possible.

But Lu Yanzhou booked the place, so why not stay in a two-bedroom apartment instead of squeezing into a one-bedroom? He's just wasting his money.

Lu Yanzhou helped her change her shoes. While Lu Yanzhou wasn't paying attention, she slipped away to the dining table. Lu Yanzhou set the food out and patted the back of her hand as she was about to pick up some food.

"Have you washed your hands? Then come and eat."

Xia Weiwei pouted. He was more like her father than Gu Yousheng. Her father had never bothered her to wash her hands.

Inside the restroom, she put her hand under the faucet, and Lu Yanzhou came over and took her hands in his.

"You're washing so slowly, the food will be cold by the time you finish."

"How do I use cold water?"

Lu Yanzhou could easily wrap his left hand around both of her hands, while using his right hand to adjust the faucet.

He's even slower this way, okay?

Xia Weiwei tried to pull her hand away and wash it directly with cold water. Besides, why would she use warm water in the summer?

Lu Yanzhou increased the force on his wrist, and Xia Weiwei felt the resistance. She looked at Lu Yanzhou; the man had a high nose bridge, and his profile resembled a winding mountain range.

However, atop the mountains, manta flowers bloom.

She was lost in thought when warm water fell on the back of her hand, bringing her back to reality.

Warm water opens up your pores, like immersing yourself in a warm embrace.

Xia Weiwei looked at Lu Yanzhou again, and their eyes met.

The man's eyes held the warmth of her palm.

Her heart was pounding, a tingling, numbing sensation flowing from her heart through her entire body.

She immediately looked down at their interlaced and receding fingers, and how he would wash the baby's hands like this after the baby was born.

The hands of the family of three were intertwined...

She's overthinking things.

"Okay." Lu Yanzhou took out a tissue, dried each of her fingers, and then pulled her to sit down at the dining table.

Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes; the amount of food was much larger than when I was hospitalized due to indigestion.

Xia Weiwei picked up a piece of beef and saw out of the corner of her eye that Lu Yanzhou picked up a plate of stir-fried baby bok choy and got up.

Her gaze followed him as he went into the kitchen, turned on the stove, and soon came out with a plate of hot stir-fried baby bok choy.

It's really gone cold.

"I shouldn't have used warm water to wash my hands earlier; it wasted time."

Lu Yanzhou smiled gently: "It's just a matter of heating it up a bit more, what's the trouble? The most important thing is to eat comfortably."

His pace was slow, which made Xia Weiwei feel more at ease.

Even if it took a while, it didn't matter to Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou will wait for her patiently.

That evening, Lu Yanzhou was telling Grimm's Fairy Tales, and Xia Weiwei listened, teasingly saying, "You'll definitely be a good dad once the baby is born."

"Oh, why?"

"Because you took good care of me."

"So, you're the first baby I've ever taken care of, is that a fair understanding?"

He took care of her...

That's how it's understood.

Xia Weiwei tilted her head back and quickly kissed the man's lips.

Lu Yanzhou was caught off guard, and his arm, which was supporting him on the bed, trembled slightly.

Time seemed to stand still, and dust motes began to fall from the air.

Lu Yanzhou's eyes reflected the girl's blissful face. He then closed his eyes, wanting to stick out his tongue and savor the kiss, but the girl turned her head away.

A sense of loss and melancholy welled up in Lu Yanzhou's heart. He opened his eyes and saw that the girl was already lying down.

"Lu Yanzhou, what are you standing there for? Continue telling the story."

Xia Weiwei had a smile on her face.

He swallowed back the question, "Why did you kiss him?" and finally just nodded without any anger.

A tranquil and comfortable atmosphere enveloped the two of them.

Suddenly, Xia Weiwei's phone rang. It was already 11 p.m. Who was calling?

Xia Weiwei opened her phone and saw an unexpected name: Gu Qianyue.

"It's too late, there's no need to answer."

Xia Weiwei had a premonition, but she smiled and said she would accept it.

"Xia Weiwei, Dad said you're also my sister. Come over tomorrow."

"Oh, bring your brother-in-law along."

Xia Weiwei declined, but Gu Qianyue was as stubborn as an old mule and insisted that she come.

After Xia Weiwei agreed and was about to hang up, Gu Qianyue emphasized one last thing: "You must bring your brother-in-law along."

“You heard me, you have to go tomorrow.”

Lu Yanzhou's eyes held an unfathomable depth. After gazing at her for a long while, he replied, "Okay."

The following day, Sunday, July 18th, the sky was clear and the air was crisp.

Xia Weiwei wore a white silk long dress with Jammy Choo flat sandals, while Lu Yanzhou also put away his colorful shirt and changed into a black shirt and black pants.

The two set off for the restaurant. Thirty minutes later, inside the restaurant, Lu Qingshi and Gu Yousheng were talking, exchanging words. Gu Ning also pulled Bai Ying into a conversation, and the scene was harmonious. Gu Qianyue occasionally glanced at the door.

Xia Weiwei, wait until you bring your utterly worthless husband and get ridiculed.

“My son is used to being carefree. I’ll have A-Yue discipline him properly from now on. I can see that Xiao Zhou doesn’t listen to anyone but A-Yue,” Bai Ying said with a smile.

Gu Ning gently patted Bai Ying's hand twice, then glanced at Gu Qianyue. Gu Qianyue raised an eyebrow, listening to what her mother had said.

"How should I put it, I think A-Zhou is doing very well."

"This time, the dowry we're giving is all the shops on Futai Road in Hong Kong, and twenty shops in Xidan Shopping Mall in Beijing. In addition, we're giving 11.8 million yuan in cash."

"In previous years, there were twenty-eight pieces of jade bracelets, phoenix crowns, and other items belonging to members of the royal family and nobility."

Every word Bai Ying uttered made Gu Ning smile from ear to ear.

Gu Ning tried her best to hide her appearance, but she just couldn't.

Let alone twenty-eight items, just one item alone would cost over a million.

Xia Weiwei has to pose provocatively on stage and be taken advantage of in her roles, but she doesn't get any of that. Look at her daughter, she doesn't have to do anything, and she gets it all effortlessly.

Her daughter is so impressive!

Gu Qianyue listened to her mother and Bai's mother talking, smiled with her head down, and glanced sideways at Li Xue sitting next to Gu Xianyang.

Today is the day when the mother and son will make a fool of themselves.

"By the way, why hasn't Xiao Zhou arrived yet?" Bai Ying asked Lu Qingshi.

Gu Qingshi said that A-Zhou was on his way to reply.

"Your other son-in-law is also named Xiaozhou." Li Xue didn't feel embarrassed at all and immediately interjected when she heard this.

Gu Qianyue and Gu Ning glared at her fiercely at the same time. How could they be the same? Xia Weiwei married into some despicable family, while A-Yue married into the Lu family of Hong Kong.

"It's my good fortune, and my two sons-in-law are also very well-matched," Gu Yousheng said with a hearty laugh.

The two sides then warmed up the conversation. Lu Yanzhou appeared at the door. Gu Qianyue noticed him first, stood up and called out "President Lu". Gu Ning tugged at her sleeve, and she realized what was happening and shyly called out "A-Zhou".

Immediately afterwards, she saw Xia Weiwei appear next to Lu Yanzhou, and most importantly, Xia Weiwei and Lu Yanzhou were holding hands!

Gu Qianyue: "!"

The rest of the Gu family: "!!"

Everyone stood up, and the atmosphere became lively. Li Xue quickly ran over.

She grabbed Xia Weiwei's arm and whispered, "Why are you here with your son-in-law? Weren't you going to meet his parents?"

Xia Weiwei glanced at Li Xue, smiled, and used her wrist to break free from Li Xue's control.

"Mom, I haven't formally introduced my husband to you yet."

“Land, banquet, boat”.

Xia Weiwei's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone to hear.

"You're talking nonsense!" Gu Qianyue screamed.

"Impossible!" she thought, her eyes gleaming with malice as she charged toward Xia Weiwei. At the last moment, Gu Yousheng stopped her.

Gu Qianyue looked at Gu Yousheng with a face full of resentment and dissatisfaction, but Gu Yousheng only had a smile on his face.

"Ah Yue, you've finally arrived. Grandpa has been talking about you." Bai Ying stood up to greet him.

Ah Yue!

How could she be called Ah Yue!

She is Ah Yue!

Gu Qianyue's gaze was so venomous it couldn't be more venomous; she wished she could pierce Xia Weiwei's body with countless bloody holes.

“Ah Yue, we wanted to go see you yesterday, but he just kept stopping us,” Bai Ying said with a smile.

"Ah Yue, you ate the dinner he made last night, is it okay?" Old Master Lu asked, his eyes falling on her with a look of precious affection.

Just now, although Gu Yousheng and Lu Qingshi were having a good chat, he didn't say a single word to Old Master Lu.

Just as Xia Weiwei arrived at the door, Old Master Lu hurriedly stood up and asked her.

Xia Weiwei nodded, and Lu Qingshi asked Bai Ying to help her sit down first.

Xia Weiwei was seated next to Old Master Lu, and Lu Yanzhou followed closely behind, wanting to sit next to her.

"You still have the nerve to sit here? Get out of here!"

Lu Yanzhou grinned and said, "Grandpa, if you don't let me sit, who will take care of Weiwei?"

"Your family is here and can take care of things. You don't need to. Go and stand in the corner as punishment!"

Gu Yousheng interjected, "Let A-Zhou sit next to Weiwei so he can take better care of her."

Grandpa Lu gripped his cane with both hands folded, remaining silent.

Xia Weiwei glanced at Lu Yanzhou, who was truly about to face the wall in repentance, and raised an eyebrow.

This time I'm the one who saved you, so you owe me a favor.

Lu Yanzhou nodded, his eyes sparkling.

The young couple thought they hadn't made a fuss about it, but little did they know that everyone had already seen it.

The Lu family members looked at each other and smiled slightly.

Gu Qianyue lost all reason, but Gu Ning, who had been around for over twenty years, pulled her back.

"Grandpa, let A-Zhou come back. He cooks very well and knows my taste."

Grandpa Lu snorted and closed his eyes briefly, which was considered an admission of Xia Weiwei's words.

"My wife still cares about me the most," Lu Yanzhou said playfully, sitting next to Xia Weiwei.

He immediately spotted the fish placed in the very center and asked the waiter to come in and remove it.

Gu Qianyue shouted, "We can't retreat!"

All eyes turned to her, and she felt a sense of being the center of attention, her voice high-pitched yet sweet.

"What I love to eat."

"So what?" Lu Yanzhou said dismissively. Gu Qianyue's face turned pale. "If A-Yue doesn't like it, then it has to be taken away."

"Doesn't Yue like it?" Old Master Lu asked softly. Xia Weiwei nodded, and Old Master Lu didn't hesitate for a moment. "Then take it away."

The feeling of being ignored made her feel extremely ashamed.

Bai Ying then spoke up: "A-Yue, see if there's anything on the table that you don't like to eat, and remove it all."

Xia Weiwei didn't agree immediately, and Lu Yanzhou played along, saying, "Do as Mom says."

Xia Weiwei then pointed to the dishes on the table.

With each plate removed, Gu Qianyue's face grew colder; they were all the ones she had just ordered.

Gu Qianyue tried to say something, but someone stopped her. Gu Ning was originally sitting next to Gu Yousheng, but now her seat has been taken by Li Xue.

Gu Yousheng quickly accepted reality and realized that they had gotten the name wrong.

"Aci, you..."

"It's not Aci, it's Ayue. If Father-in-law can't pronounce the name correctly, you'll have to go back to elementary school again." Lu Yanzhou's smile was laced with sarcasm. Gu Yousheng gave an awkward laugh and said that he had mispronounced the name. Ayue, his dear Ayue.

“I’m pregnant now, so it’s inconvenient to have a wedding. I don’t want to have a wedding for the time being. As for the engagement banquet, I’ve discussed it with A-Zhou. He’s worried that it will be too hard on me, so he plans to hold it after I give birth.”

"If it's too tiring, A-Yue, you can reduce the number of scenes you film," Grandpa Lu suggested.

"No need, I will stop working after I reach the seventh or eighth month of my pregnancy."

Looking at her physique, which seemed to weigh no more than ninety pounds, Old Master Lu was speechless.

"Dad, I believe A-Zhou can take good care of A-Yue, so please rest assured. Girls should always have their own jobs; work is our bottom line."

Xia Weiwei met Bai Ying's gaze across Lu Yanzhou. Bai Ying's smile showed her support, and Xia Weiwei smiled back.

After hesitating for a long time, Old Master Lu finally said, "Take good care of A-Yue. If anything happens to A-Yue, I will hold you responsible!"

Lu Yanzhou bowed and poured her a glass of warm water.

At the dinner table, everyone's conversation revolved around Xia Weiwei.

Gu Qianyue felt a pang of heartache as she listened to the shops on a street in Hong Kong, the shopping malls in Xidan, Beijing, and the phoenix crowns, gemstones, and jade bracelets of emperors and nobles—all of which were originally hers, now to be given to Xia Weiwei, and into Xia Weiwei's private accounts, not belonging to the Gu family.

"My dear in-law, you wouldn't disagree with this old man's decision, would you?"

Gu Yousheng had been overjoyed since he sat down, having heard about the dowry. Now that it was being discussed, he was indeed dissatisfied, but how could he dare to show it?

"No, no, they're all...Ah Yue's own."

Grandpa Lu nodded in satisfaction. Then he looked at Xia Weiwei and saw whichever dish her eyes fell on. The next second, that dish appeared in her bowl.

"By the way, Yue and I don't want to go public yet, and we hope that everyone here will keep it a secret for us."

Lu Yanzhou scooped a few peas for Xia Weiwei with a spoon and said to everyone.

Xia Weiwei's face showed slight displeasure when she saw the peas.

He did it on purpose!

She doesn't like to eat it, but if her family puts it on her plate, she has no choice but to eat it.

Xia Weiwei smiled, slowly ate the few peas, and said they were delicious.

Gu Yousheng first looked past Li Xue and met Gu Ning's gaze. They definitely wanted to go public, but for the Lu family, going public or not was fine.

"Gentlemen, I'm not speaking in a consultative tone; I'm issuing a notification." Lu Yanzhou's voice was gentle, his peach blossom eyes smiling, but what he exuded was a cold and oppressive aura.

Despite being the junior, he was the one with the most authority.

Finally, Bai Ying broke the suffocating silence.

"Yes, from A-Yue's career perspective, it's better to keep the marriage a secret."

"Whether the marriage is kept secret or not, as long as A-Yue doesn't suffer any injustice, that's fine. A-Yue, what are your thoughts?" Old Master Lu asked Xia Weiwei.

“I share the same idea as A-Zhou.”

"Grandpa, you're being too biased!" Lu Yanzhou said first, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Grandpa Lu didn't even look at him: "Alright, A-Yue, if you feel dissatisfied with anything, just tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will teach A-Zhou a lesson for you."

"No, A-Zhou is fine. I've been craving strong flavors lately and sometimes I crave garlic, and A-Zhou has started eating garlic too."

As Xia Weiwei spoke, she added some minced garlic to Lu Yanzhou's bowl along with some broccoli.

Lu Yanzhou knew that this was her way of repaying him for the peas he had just put on her plate.

"A-Zhou, this is what I put on your plate. Aren't you going to eat it?" Xia Weiwei asked in a pitiful tone.

Lu Yanzhou forced a smile: "Eat it. My wife put it on my plate, how can I not eat it?"

Lu Yanzhou steeled his heart and ate that small piece of garlic.

The Lu family all know that Lu Yanzhou loathes garlic to the extreme, so seeing him eat it with a smile, it's no wonder that Xia Weiwei is his true love.

"Honey, I've finished eating the garlic, shouldn't you reward me?" Lu Yanzhou gazed at her affectionately, and she probably got goosebumps on her arms.

“Of course,” Xia Weiwei said with a smile.

"Just one kiss from me is enough; a kiss from my wife is like a peach candy."

Xia Weiwei's heart skipped a beat, and she glanced at the man's lips with obvious disgust.

"Honey, aren't you going to kiss me?"

"Everyone's here, I'm so embarrassed." Xia Weiwei laughed heartily. Grandpa Lu wasn't ashamed at all, saying that they were all experienced people and had seen all kinds of situations.

Xia Weiwei never expected to be put on hold like that.

She lowered her head, wanting to give him a quick kiss, but Lu Yanzhou held the back of her head and gave her a passionate French kiss.

Xia Weiwei: "!"

She never wants to kiss Lu Yanzhou in her entire life!

She swore!

Lu Qibai took out his phone and started recording.

Awesome!

After Lu Yanzhou finished kissing her, he also posted the video to the family group chat.

After the kiss ended, the elders applauded and congratulated her. Her head was lowered and she looked blushing from the side.

Gu Qianyue kept pinching her thigh with her hand on her leg. "Xia Weiwei, just you wait and see. I'm going back to deliver the True Love Perfume to Fang Yuan right now."

"By the way, I acquired True Love Perfume under A-Yue's name. From now on, A-Yue will have the final say on the endorsement rights for True Love Perfume."

As Lu Yanzhou spoke, he poured her a glass of water.

Her throat was indeed dry. Xia Weiwei reached out, quickly picked up the glass of water, and drank most of it.

"Honey, we're the main characters, there's no need to make it seem like we're having an affair."

Xia Weiwei glared at Lu Yanzhou, but out of the corner of her eye she noticed that everyone's gaze was gentle, except for Gu Ning, Gu Qianyue, and Li Xue.

After the meal, it was supposed to be the Lu family seeing the Gu family off, but the Gu family, as the host, insisted on seeing the Lu family off, so the Lu family no longer refused.

As soon as the Lu family left, Gu Qianyue overturned the table. Xia Weiwei was called back by Gu Yousheng, and Lu Yanzhou came up with her. When they reached the elevator, he received a phone call and stopped in his tracks.

"I'll go up first, you can come up later."

Lu Yanzhou thought it wouldn't take long and nodded.

As soon as Xia Weiwei arrived at the door of the private room, she saw broken porcelain shards all over the floor.

She didn't go any further inside.

"Ah Yue, why didn't you tell me that Xiao Zhou is Lu Yanzhou?" Li Xue's complaining voice came first.

Xia Weiwei didn't respond. Gu Qianyue was sobbing uncontrollably. Hearing Li Xue's words, she suddenly felt enlightened. She raised her head, her eyes swollen to the size of walnuts.

"Gu Xianyue! You did this on purpose!"

She walked over, pointing at Xia Weiwei's nose.

"You know I like Lu Yanzhou, yet you still slept with him, and now you're pregnant with his child! Gu Xianyue, how can you be so shameless!"

"You only deserve to be called Ah Ci! You'll always be second-rate, my substitute!"

Gu Qianyue approached her step by step and tried to push her with both hands. Xia Weiwei dodged to the side, but Gu Qianyue failed. Instead, she tried to pull her hair, but Xia Weiwei grabbed her wrist forcefully and turned her around.

"You, you, you! You definitely didn't seduce Lu Yanzhou just once or twice!"

Gu Qianyue's eyes still held resentment.

Gu Ning winked at Li Xue, whose mouth trembled as she was about to speak, but Xia Weiwei interrupted her.

"Mom, if you dare to help them again today, I'll disown you."

"I mean what I say!"

Xia Weiwei was filled with anger, which intimidated Li Xue.

Do you know when I first slept with Lu Yanzhou?

Gu Qianyue had a bad feeling.

"It was on the night of June 30th last year, or more precisely, in the early morning of July 1st."

Xia Weiwei spoke each word carefully, and Gu Qianyue's face grew paler inch by inch.

"You used Lu Yanzhou to get revenge on me!"

Xia Weiwei's radiant smile was an eyesore to Gu Qianyue.

"Lu Yanzhou!" Gu Qianyue looked outside, and Xia Weiwei panicked and looked back as well.

However, there was no one at the gate.

Xia Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Lu Yanzhou wasn't there.

Gu Ning couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to pull Xia Weiwei away. Gu Xianyang also joined in, and the situation instantly reversed.

"Nobody is allowed to come over!"

Xia Weiwei grabbed Gu Qianyue's hair and kept walking backward.

“Aci, kneel down and apologize to Ayue, then slap yourself twenty times, and I can pretend nothing happened.”

"Big sister, let go! You're hurting second sister!"

Gu Xianyang is a senior in college this year and has the strength of an adult male.

Xia Weiwei looked at Li Xue, but could only see the back of Li Xue's head, which was hanging down. She then looked at Gu Yousheng, but Gu Yousheng seemed indifferent.

There's no one to rely on, no one to depend on!

She has always been in this situation in this family.

“Aci, since you’re not bringing anything back anyway, what’s the point of marrying into the Lu family? And there’s no need to keep the child in your belly.”

Gu Ning rushed forward, Xia Weiwei threw Gu Qianyue out, Gu Ning caught Gu Qianyue, the mother and daughter exchanged a glance, determined to make Xia Weiwei miscarry.

Xia Weiwei took a step back, panic spreading from the soles of her feet. She felt as if she were trapped in the middle of a lake, where the rising tide would eventually engulf her.

Suddenly, her back was pressed against a broad, warm chest.

"I'd like to see who dares to touch my wife and children."

Lu Yanzhou's deep and powerful voice came over.
