Chapter 35

Lu Huai shrugged him off and then hit him in the face.

“They expect me to act as your father figure, but all you do is talk sh*t to me. What a load of bull. Did your mother teach you to disrespect your elders like that?” Lu Huai didn’t have to say much, what he said had already shattered Lu Li’s fragile and sensitive heart.

He wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and glared at Lu Huai.

His background was a well-known secret. His mother was a mistress, but it was also something no one dared mention.

Those people were afraid of the Lu family, so they would never speak of it in front of him. However, he knew that they had always looked down on him because of his past. Otherwise, their grandfather wouldn’t have left all the shares of the company to Lu Huai when he passed away.

Among these people, Lu Huai was someone that despised him the most.

After a stare-down, Lu Li finally lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry. I overreacted and said something inappropriate.”

Although Lu Yu was still in charge of the Lu Family, the shares would eventually belong to Lu Huai. Lu Li was not st*pid. He knew how important it was to maintain a neutral relationship with Lu Huai and not cause conflict.

“Pei Xin, you b*tch. Not only did you seduce my husband, but you also hit my son. I’m going to make sure you never live to see another day.” Lu Nan’s tone was sharp. No one in the room noticed her until they heard her voice.

The door was pushed open, causing everyone to divert their attention to the noise. Then, Lu Nan walked in wearing an exquisite dress with high heels.

Perhaps it was because she was enraged hearing Sun Che being bullied, but she did not wait for the nanny to finish speaking before she ran over.

At this moment, her eyes were only on Pei Xin. She did not notice the strange atmosphere in the room, nor did she notice Lu Huai.

“You sl*t! Watch me, I’m going to beat your brother till he dies in front of your face.”

Lu Nan reached out to grab Pei Xin’s hair but missed. She did not give up and kept hitting Pei Xin with her fists.

As for Pei Xin, the female prisoners in prison were much more ruthless than Lu Nan. In her opinion, dodging Lu Nan’s attempts for a measly fight was easy.

“Stop avoiding me! I’ll make sure that little b*stard will never walk ever again! It was my idea to not send him to the hospital! If he doesn’t die by today, I’ll come back for him and finish the job myself!” Lu Nan threatened Pei Xin as she relentlessly threw her fists.

After teaching Sun Che a lesson, mocking Lu Li, and watching Lu Huai protect her, Pei Xin’s anger gradually calmed down. All she wanted now was to go to the hospital to check on her son’s condition. However, after hearing Lu Nan’s confessions, the fire in her heart was ignited once again.

Pei Xin grabbed her hand and slapped her face a few times. Before Lu Nan could react, she was pushed to the ground and sat on. Pei Xin was strangling her with both hands!

“Lu Nan!”

Obviously, Lu Li didn’t expect this outcome. He wanted to help but was stopped by Lu Huai again. “Are you stepping in between a lady’s fight?”

Lu Li felt resentful, pissed, and helpless. Lu Huai was here to make things difficult for him. He must have done it on purpose. Otherwise, why would he be home, of all days?

He did not have any real power in the company, and his grandfather’s inheritance was left to Lu Huai. Why was he being targeted?

Lu Nan desperately struggled as she gasped for air. She tried to pry Pei Xin’s hand away, but the tiny woman was much more ruthless than her. Even if she used all her strength to pry her fingers away, Pei Xin still refused to let go.

Pei Xin only released her hand when Lu Nan’s face turned purple and her eyes started to roll back.

This was one of the most torturous methods she had experienced in prison.

Those female prisoners always enjoyed watching her struggle on the verge of death.

Lu Nan was able to breathe again. She panted heavily, and there was no longer an ounce of spite left in her body to give.

“Lu Nan, listen up. I had nothing to do with Sun Yue. Don’t drag me into your mess, and don’t harass my son ever again. Otherwise, the next time we meet, I’ll make sure to never let go. I don’t have much to live for anymore. At most, I’ll kill you and your son and give my life to you as compensation.”

Pei Xin stood up and looked at Lu Li and his sister coldly. “Don’t forget, I have nothing to lose. If you come at me and my family again-”

At this moment, Lu Huai’s phone suddenly rang. He raised his phone and listened to Xu Nuo’s voice. “Okay, I got it. We’ll be right there.”

After hanging up the phone, he raised his hand to gain Pei Xin’s attention.

“We need to go to the hospital. Now.”
