99: Angering the Wen Family (1)

Angering the Wen Family (1)

In the huge living room of the Lu family.1

Lu Manman watched quietly as Lu Qinzheng fumed.

What was he angry about?

Or was he using this as an excuse?

After all, she had angered him so much in the past that he almost vomited blood internally.

"Lu Manman, come with me right now. I'll take you to the Wen family to apologize!" Lu Qinzheng said it so firmly without room for discussion.

Lu Manman smiled calmly but did not say a word.

Lu Zishan tactfully said, "Dad, this is a matter between youngsters. Let Manman handle it herself. She's not young anymore!"

"Lu Zishan, you're the one who has no temper! Isn't that why you're being controlled by your wife and daughter?! Do you even have a shred of dignity as a man?! You want Lu Manman to settle this by herself, but you don't put our Lu family's business first. Why did my father take a fancy to you back then to have you take over the Lu family's position! I still can't figure it out!" Lu Qinzheng screamed and swore, completely disregarding the fact that Lu Zishan was already close to fifty years old!

"Dad, don't be too angry! Don't you know what kind of person my brother is? He's a slave to his wife and daughter! Aren't you used to it after all these years? If not for that, Dad, you would have let Brother marry the daughter of the Lu family back then, and all of this wouldn't have happened now," Lu Zichuan said sarcastically and deliberately. "In that case, Lu Manman would have learned from her dad not to back out of the marriage just like that. This is genetic!"

"Second Uncle," Lu Manman spoke to Lu Zishan very softly and respectfully.

But her soft voice still made Lu Zichuan's heart skip a beat. He was on guard.

Lu Manman's words had been sarcastic all this while, sometimes leaving him speechless. He simply could not take it lying down after being mocked by this silly girl. He wanted to take this opportunity to teach her a lesson!

"Just speak your mind. There's no need to get close," Lu Zichuan said seriously.

"I'm calling you 'second uncle' because you're my elder, and I respect you a lot. I don't want to get close to you," Lu Manman said sarcastically with a smile. "Moreover, what do you think I'll get out of getting close to you?"

"Lu Manman, what do you mean?"

"Second Uncle, don't you think you're embarrassing yourself by arguing with me like this?" Lu Manman asked him very seriously.

Lu Zichuan was lost for words.

"Cousin, do you think you're so refined to treat your elders this way?" Lu Xuanran suddenly asked.

"Xuanran, I actually understand how you feel." Lu Manman's tone to Lu Xuanran had obviously improved, and her words were sincere.

Lu Xuanran was confused.

"You can't bear to see your dad feel aggrieved. I feel the same way," Lu Manman said. "My dad was bullied, and as his daughter, I can't even bring myself to say a thing or two. It makes me feel like I'm being disrespectful."

Lu Xuanran's expression darkened.

Lu Manman was able to make all vile actions sound so reasonable.

"Enough! You guys fight whenever you see each other. Where are the manners?!" Lu Qinzheng suddenly said with a stern voice. It was as if he knew that Lu Manman now was as good as her words. If this went on, his youngest son and grandson would be mocked severely!

"Grandpa, I don't have intentions to fight with Second Uncle's family. I just find what Second Uncle said a little unpleasant. My dad and mom liked each other back then, and no one could control their relationship. Moreover, my parents have treated each other like family members all these years, so there's nothing wrong with that. Second Uncle, you're always making an issue of this, so I'm a little angry." Lu Manman took advantage of her youthfulness to speak her mind freely and directly. "Moreover, if Miss Wen had taken a liking to Second Uncle back then, the marriage with the Wen family would have been a success, but…"
