Chapter 17 - Imminent death warning: Within the next half hour, gain understanding of your wife's emotional past and offer her appropriate comfort. Otherwise, please go die right now (3)

Lu Liting could be very cruel. In the novel, when Ji Qingqing had already fallen to the bottom and anyone could step on her, he showed her no mercy. He took petty revenge by having her clean off the red wine that had spilled on the female lead's shoes at a party.

Right now, Lu Lixing was in poor health, so Elder Lu had sent people to bring Lu Liting back. Since his older brother was dying, it was time for him to come back and become the Lu family's successor.

Thud!

It sounded as if something had hit the study's door. Aunty Pei hastily went upstairs. Right as she got to the study, the door slammed open. The lighting in the hallway was weak. The man was illuminated from the light in the study, which was half blocked off by him standing in the doorway. He was faced with Aunty Pei after he had slammed the door open.

Aunty Pei tearfully looked at him. “Second Young Master, you finally came back..."

Just when Lu Liting was thinking there was something wrong with his vision, the figure turned around and met Lu Liting's gaze. Her eyes appeared as surprised as Lu Liting's.

Both parties remained silent for a moment.

"Ji Qingqing!" Lu Liting's eyes looked frighteningly malevolent. He cornered Ji Qingqing, who wanted to hide in her room, against the wall. Grinding his teeth, he demanded, "Why are you here?!"

Ji Qingqing's heart was madly pounding.

She was starting to think she was going to die from a heart attack one day. Just today, she had already been shocked multiple times from these two brothers.

"Why can't I be here?" Backed against a wall, Ji Qingqing forced herself to calm down. She raised her head and looked him in the eye. In no uncertain terms, she stated, "I'm your older sister-in-law. I married your older brother. As I am your elder, please trouble yourself to treat me respectfully."

"Sister-in-law?" Lu Liting's expression immediately turned furious. His fists which were on the wall and next to Ji Qingqing's cheeks was clenched tight. "What are you saying?"

Ji Qingqing gulped. Her legs felt wobbly, but she pretended to be calm. "I said, I'm your older sister-in-law. Your older brother's wife. As the saying goes, an older sister-in-law is like a mother. Please be respectful!"

"You married my brother?!" Lu Liting's emotions cycled from anger to incredulous back to anger.
