"I won't leave!" She refused staunchly.Their actions caused the flame of anger in Zhou Qiuyue's heart to burn even more ferociously. She took a few steps back, picked up a teacup, and threw it towards the both of them."Ping!"The teacup fell to the ground, immediately causing broken fragments to fly out everywhere.Tang Mengyu could feel warm liquid trickling down her forehead, leaving a blood-red mark on her face.She felt dizzy as her vision darkened and her consciousness quickly began to fade. In her woozy state, her body turned to jelly, and in the next moment she collapsed to the ground and lay there motionlessly."What happened?" Upon smelling the fresh blood in the air, Lu Zhengnan asked in a murderous tone."She got hit in the head and fainted," Lu Zhengqing replied hastily.Just now, Lu Zhengqing had been so startled by Zhou Qiuyue's behavior that he had reacted too slowly and not managed to mediate the quarrel in time.Within the next second, the anger of the man i
Thinking of this, her heart began beating uncontrollably, his face flushed and his ears turned warm.Seeing her taking a long time to say anything, Lu Zhengqing said provocatively, "Since you're keeping your silence, I think you're admitting to it tacitly.""Don't talk such rot!" Refuting him with a blush, she explained in a panic, "I just feel that he is very kind to me, not like the rumors say at all.""Rumors that he is ruthless and kills people at will?""Well, I'm sure he didn't do it!" A hint of certainty rushed into her bright gaze.Heaving a dejected sigh, Lu Zhengqing gave up on trying to pursue the topic with her.Her beautiful eyebrows slightly knitting together, Tang Mengyu stared at the scarlet handkerchief with the drooping eyelashes, which reminded her of the ferocious blood-covered face she'd seen when Auntie He's "ghost" had appeared last night.With a sinking gaze, she asked with a serious expression, "Do you believe that there are ghosts in the world?"Snorti
"Why did God have to give so much misfortune to just one person?""Isn't it already miserable enough for him to become lame and blind? And now he's being accused of being a murderer? Is there really no light left in this world?"Overwhelmed by her sadness, but afraid that Lu Zhengnan would worry about her, Tang Mengyu forced herself to hold all of her tears back."Zhengnan, I have something to talk to Lu Zhengqing about. Can you leave us alone?"His mouth turning down at the corners into a frown, Lu Zhengnan asked coolly, "Why can't you two talk in front of me?"Tang Mengyu didn't know how to answer this question. Lu Zhengqing, who had been standing to one side silently, suddenly said, "My sister-in-law told me that one should know how to repay others' debts of gratitude, so she wanted to give me a gift as a reward to thank me for taking her to the hospital. Just now, as we were talking about it, you came in.""Really?" Sneering, Lu Zhengnan said with a gloomy face, "You can cont
"How can these journalists just make assumptions about who the murderer is based on rumors only? Why are they saying such harsh words? Do they mean to hurt Lu Zhengnan? They are simply anxious to see the world in chaos!"Tang Mengyu was furious, and there was a wave of uncontrollable anger in her eyes. She straightened her neck and said in reproach, "Do you even know what professional ethics are? How could you ask a man with poor eyesight something like that?"The other party had not expected her to be so eloquent. For a moment, the journalist was stunned and did not know how to respond. The other reporters also froze and kept their mouths shut.At this moment, righteous anger was still surging in Tang Mengyu's chest, and there was no sign of it dissipating. Her eyes were wide open as she continued, "Which paper do you work for? Believe it or not, I'll have you fired so fast it'll make your head spin!"The journalist was overwhelmed. He bent forward subserviently, nodding repeatedl
Noticing Tang Mengyu drawing her hand away, Lu Zhengnan furrowed his dashing eyebrows as his smile slowly faded.As they returned to the main residence, they saw the members of the Lu family sitting around, chatting in the hall and presenting a harmonious atmosphere.Upon catching sight of them, Zhou Qiuyue's expression stiffened into a cold sneer.Her indifferent expression made Tang Mengyu feel heartbroken. "It's lucky that Lu Zhengnan can't see his mother's expression, otherwise, he would be very sad."Just as she was considering whether to go upstairs to avoid them, Tang Mengyu heard the sound of rushed footsteps from outside.Zhaoshu hurried up to them with a serious expression on his face. "Young Master, we have figured out how the ghost trick was performed last night."Wearing an unfathomable smile, Lu Zhengnan asked harshly, "What on earth is going on?""I found this." Zhaoshu handed a black box over to him.After feeling it for a few seconds, Lu Zhengnan suddenly spoke
Moving to Zhou Qiuyue's side and worrying about disturbing her, Tang Mengyu said in a soft tone. "Mom, itis not a real ghost. It’s just a prank. You don't have to be afraid anymore."Still in shock, Zhou Qiuyue paid no attention to her words, nodding in a daze."For the past two days, my mother-in-law has been mistaking Lu Zhengnan as the murderer. She scolded and even beat him. Now that she knows the truth, surely she will no longer be harsh on him?!"Thinking of this, she narrowed her beautiful eyes, a smile spreading over her face.After Zhou Qiuyue came stumbling out of the hall with the help of servants, she turned around, watching her aunt mumbling as she fiddled with the Buddhist prayer beads in her hands. "Amitabha, Amitabha...""Aunt, are you expiating the sins of Auntie He again?" She said gently and slowly, a faint smile spreading over her crimson lips.The aunt answered her question euphemistically in a muffled voice, "That's right. Aunt He’d better go to the place sh
Upon hearing the words ‘display your affection,’ Tang Mengyu's face became tinted with a faint blush. Feeling ashamed and resentful, she replied, "You can also find a lover to show off in front of me."Obviously, she was rubbing it in Lu Zhengqing's face again. He snorted coldly and walked out without looking back.Noticing that his wife had had the upper hand in the conversation, Lu Zhengnan's mouth curled up into a sly smirk."I was right to marry her. Sharp-eyed, clear-headed, witty, and eloquent!" Back in the bedroom, Tang Mengyu observed and examined the projector for quite a while, recalling the images that had been projected earlier.All of a sudden, a picture flashed through her mind. She saw the disturbing image of blood staining the water of half of a swimming pool and the cadaverous face of Aunt He.At this moment, great joy flowed over her like tidal waves."Zhengnan, I remember now!" She suddenly raised her voice and shouted clearly.The woman's shout made Lu Zhen
"Mengyu, you have been talking for a long time. Are you thirsty? Zhaoshu, go and get us two cups of water." His voice was mellow and deep, and he had an almost majestically dominant air to him, though he was not angry.With his reminder, Tang Mengyu suddenly realized that she hadn't had drunk anything since she'd gotten home, and her mouth did feel a little dry. Even her voice had become slightly hoarse.She genuinely felt moved by Lu Zhengnan's meticulous care for her, but she didn't show it and said politely, "Thank you."Zhaoshu quickly handed a glass of water to Lu Zhengnan, who tapped twice on the back of his hand with his index finger. Zhaoshu then focused on Lu Zhengnan's handsome face and saw his lips silently open and close several times.Zhaoshu coughed lightly and gave a mild nod."Young Madam, after hearing what you said, I find that it's true. So when do you think the video of the ghost was taken?"After saying this, Zhaoshu turned his eyes to look at Lu Zhengnan aga
