Chapter 875: Caught Them in a Wicked Act

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone’s gazes turned to the door. Someone had walked in. It was Old Madam Lu, Ning Qing.

That year, the love story between the number one beauty of Ning City, Ning Qi, and the President of the Lu Corporation, Lu Shaoming, had become a praise-worthy story akin to a fairytale. They had remained together in marriage all these years, until they were both white-haired.

Old Madam Lu walked in. She had already aged throughout all these years, but remained in good health, and one could still see her beauty from her younger days.

The main hall was in an uproar.

“It’s Old Madam Lu, Old Madam Lu is here!”

Lu Jinwen looked sideways, his tall frame freezing. He frowned hard, and said unhappily, “Mom, what brings you here?”

Old Madam Lu threw a gaze at her son and gave a cold humph. “I was afraid you would die if I didn’t come!”

Lu Jinwen remained silent.

Old Madam Lu didn’t look at Lu Jinwen again. She walked forward to Lin Xuanji and gave her a nurturing smile. “Xuanji, do you still remember me?”

Lin Xuanji looked at Old Madam Lu and her heart brimmed with warmth. She remembered, of course she still remembered. That year she had chased after Lu Jinwen like a fool. Old Madam Lu really took a liking to her and treated her like her own daughter.

After that, their relationship took a turn for the worse. Old Madam Lu had given Lu Jinwen a slap for the first time in his life. Because of her, Old Madam Lu and Lu Jinwen’s relationship was ruined. Devastated, Old Madam Lu left the Capital and immigrated to another country. After that, she had left for 10 years.

Lin Xuanji had had a cruel life. She didn’t have a mother growing up, neither did she have any relatives. It was Old Madam Lu who let her experience maternal love and warmth. She deeply respected and loved Old Madam Lu in her heart.

Lin Xuanji’s lip curved upwards. “Old Madam, how have you been? It’s been many years since we’ve seen each other. How would I dare forget?”

Old Madam Lu reached out to hold Lin Xuanji’s hands, and gave them a motherly pat. “What a good child. It’s a pity that we didn’t have enough fate to be mother and daughter.”

This words immediately brought tears to Lin Xuanji’s eyes. Old Madam Lu retracted her hands and waved her away. “Xuanji, you should leave first.”

Just like that, Old Madam Lu let Lin Xuanji leave.

Lu Jinwen’s expression darkened at once and he burst out in outrage, “Mom!”

The bodyguards at the door immediately reacted, stopping Lin Xuanji from leaving.

But Old Madam Lu didn’t even look back. She laughed coldly, her sharp eyes looking lightly at the bodyguards. Her aura was overwhelming. “Xuanji, you can just leave. With me here today, who will dare force you to stay? I’m not dead yet, so I’m still in charge of all matters in the Lu family!”

With this sentence, the bodyguards all lowered their heads and moved to the side.

A wave of warmth swept over Lin Xuanji’s heart. “Old Madam, I’ll take my leave first then.”

With that, she turned and left.

Jun Mosheng followed behind her and left as well.

…

With Lin Xuanji gone, Lu Jinwen immediately exuded overwhelming waves of cold, terrifying anger. He rushed over to Old Madam Lu. “Mom, why did you let her go?”

Old Madam Lu looked at Lu Jinwen and shot a sentence back at him. “Do you think your self-suffering act with the gun was going to get her to stay?”

Lu Jinwen fell silent. His expression was already beyond ugly.

“Look, since you couldn’t get her to stay, why not just let her go? Xuanji is like sand now. The tighter you try to hold her, the faster she will slip from your hand.”

Lu Jinwen gave a cold snort. “Once I let go, she’ll completely flow out from my hand.”

Old Madam Lu straightened her back and gave Lu Jinwen a sideways glance. She scolded him coldly, “How did your dad and I give birth to such a fool?”

Lu Jinwen kept silent.

His expression was already dark beyond comparison. Even as a child, he had always been unable to deal with his mom. After a few seconds, he said angrily, “Mom, you are too much!”

Old Madam Lu laughed coldly. “Too much? Where can Xuanji run to? Hm? Now that I’m back, of course I’ll have my methods in getting her to stay. A powerful woman is standing in front of you right now, and you should be showing your respect. You’re blind if not stupid!”

Lu Jinwen was stunned, then his eyes lit up. He looked at his mother, a look that said – not bad.

Old Madam Lu returned the look. You’re my biological son, Who would I help if not you?

“Mom!” Lu Jinwen caught hold of Old Madam Lu, pleased and relieved at the same time.

Old Madam Lu smiled radiantly. “Let’s go to Lanshan Garden and see who is trying to hurt my grandson and granddaughter. That’s right, I heard that Mo’er’s husband Gu Mohan dared choose a stepmother for my great-grandson Niuniu?”

Lu Jinwen nodded. That’s right. I’ve always found that little brat Gu Mohan an eyesore. Mom, I’ll make sure to teach him a good lesson later!”

“Whatever’s necessary.”

“Mom, why didn’t dad come back?”

“Your dad wants to live a few more years and doesn’t want to see you.”

1Lu Jinwen, “…”

In actual fact, Old Master Lu was caught up with something at his company and couldn’t come back with her. Not wanting to see his disobedient son may have also been a reason.

…

Lu Jinwen and Old Madam Lu got on an extra-long luxurious business car, and it started moving towards the edge of the countryside.

At this moment, Lu Jinwen looked sideways, and through the bright car window, saw a familiar luxurious car parked at the side of the road. It was country Z’s bulletproof presidential car.

It was Jun Mosheng and Lin Xuanji.

“Stop the car.” Lu Jinwen ordered in a low voice.

“Yes sir.”

The luxurious business car slowed to a stop.

One of the underlings was exiting the pharmacy with an ointment in his hand.

Lu Jinwen frowned. She had injured her back when he pushed her onto the dresser just now. He reached out to pull open the car door and walked up to them.

In country Z’s bulletproof presidential car, Lin Xuanji and Jun Mosheng sat at the back. Jun Mosheng took the ointment from the underling and said, “Lin Xuanji, let me help you apply this.”

“It’s alright, Mosheng, I can do it myself.”

Lin Xuanji refused him, because she was injured at her lower back. She was wearing a long dress today, and the only way to apply the ointment was for her to either pull her dress up or pull the zipper down. She had to reveal her body.

Jun Mosheng realized this as well. He smiled warmly and said, “Xuanji, are you still scared that I’ll take a peek at you?”

Jun Mosheng words made Lin Xuanji even more bashful. They had already been close friends for decades, there was no need for them to mind all this.

Lin Xuanji smiled. “Alright, Mosheng, help me unzip the dress.”

She turned around.

Jun Mosheng raised his hand to pull on her zipper.

Before he could do so, a large hand pulled open the car door and a deep voice interrupted them. “What are you two doing?”

Jun Mosheng paused and looked back. Lu Jinwen stood tall outside, one hand on the car door, the other in his pocket. He lowered his back and glared fiercely at them with his almond-shaped eyes.

As though… he had just caught them in a wicked act!
