After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Chapter 227: It Doesn’t Matter, Mom Will Take Action!

How ironic.

Li Muchen didn’t say a word from beginning to end.

Yet it seems like his mere presence, his mere standing beside Lu Sheng,

suddenly transformed her from an unnoticed and unloved illegitimate daughter into the darling cherished in Lu Chengye’s hands.

The moment Lu Chengye tried to come closer, a nearly imperceptible frown creased the girl’s brow. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Such hypocritical concern disgusted her.

Li Muchen kept an eye on Lu Chengye’s selfish and opportunistic face and also noticed Lu Sheng’s furrowed brow.

Even an outsider like him could feel Lu Chengye’s insincerity and coldness, let alone the always delicate-hearted girl.

So he seamlessly positioned himself in front of Lu Sheng without showing any emotion: "Shengsheng has a minor fracture in her lower leg, she should rest for two or three months to fully recover."

With Li Muchen blocking him like this, Lu Chengye couldn’t get close to Lu Sheng.

Then he exclaimed in surprise, "Rest for two or three months? Does a minor fracture really need such a long rest?"

Hearing this seemingly indifferent comment, which even sounded as if he considered a two or three months’ rest a bit excessive, Jiang Ting really couldn’t hold back.

Had her eyes been smeared with something when she fell for someone like Lu Chengye?

Before meeting Li Muchen, he was all about pleasing Young Master Fu, trying to marry Lu Sheng into the Fu Family.

Now, hearing that Lu Sheng was with Li Muchen, he immediately came over to suck up to Li Muchen, and also insincerely asked after Lu Sheng’s injury.

Could Lu Sheng not feel the true intentions, or was a smart person like Li Muchen unable to see through it?

All the people present were either children or younger generations, none of whom could reprimand Lu Chengye, but she didn’t need to be so circumspect.

Jiang Ting took a deep breath and looked straight at Fu Chen beside her: "Young Master Fu, it is indeed getting late. Shall I arrange for someone to take you home now?"

Fu Chen, having received a complete attitude shift from Lu Chengye just before, was already seething with anger. He, the distinguished Young Master of the Fu Family, when was he ever treated so coldly in someone else’s home?

Fu Chen’s face was extremely unpleasant, as if the words "not happy" were written all over it, and through gritted teeth, he coldly said, "No need for the trouble, Aunt Jiang. Our family driver is waiting outside, I can leave by myself!"

With that, Fu Chen strode off towards the door petulantly.

Fu Chen thought that with his obvious anger, someone from the Lu Family would come out to stop him, smooth things over, and apologize.

However, embarrassingly, his exit was unimpeded.

A thoughtful servant even stepped forward, pointing in the direction and said, "Young Master Fu, you’ve gone the wrong way—the door is over here—"

Upon hearing this, Fu Chen was even more livid, he gritted his teeth and said, "I know! I’m not blind!"

Fu Chen’s words reached the ears of everyone in the living room.

Just as the door closed, Lu Chengye spoke with displeasure, "Why is he yelling in someone else’s house? I’ve always heard that Young Master Fu has a bad temper, it seems Old Mr. Fu really should discipline him."

?? That’s not what you were saying just before.

And knowing that Fu Chen is no good, you still wanted to send Shengsheng to his side??

Lu Youye was instantly irritated upon hearing this.

Lu Youye had long found Fu Chen, this arrogant and self-centered man, distasteful and had even fought with him at school before.

This morning, Fu Chen not only harassed Shengsheng in the classroom but also came to their house to sow discord and play the victim, accusing Shengsheng of wrongdoing—wasn’t he just like a male version of a ’white lotus’?

Had Fu Chen spoken a few more words, Lu Youye probably would not have been able to resist hitting him. Now that Fu Chen had left, his anger was redirected at Lu Chengye.

Even though he was his biological father, Lu Youye wanted to curse at Lu Chengye for being scum.

The family was supposed to have a happy dinner together, and now this scene had completely soured the mood.

Just as Lu Youye was about to speak out, Jiang Ting suddenly put her hand on her younger son and said, "Never mind, mom will handle it."

"... What?"

Lu Youye didn’t quite catch on at first.

Was his mom surfing the internet at 5G speed, suddenly picking up on trending slang?

Now that there were no outsiders left, Lu Chengye began to warmly greet Li Muchen again: "Muchen, come sit, tell me what you’d like to eat tonight, I’ll have the servants prepare it."

Now, seeing Jiang Ting lock Lu Chengye out, not one of them spoke up for their own father.

Lu Jingyan immediately directed the servant, "Bring the menu here; Muchen, you and Shengsheng pick out what you’d like to eat."

Lu Siyan frowned at the sofa, coldly saying, "...I’ll get the alcohol; that spot where what’s-his-name Fu sat needs to be properly disinfected."

Lu Ziye raised his eyebrows, smilingly wrapped his arm around Jiang Ting’s shoulder, and praised, "As expected of my mom, ginger is still the spiciest~"

Lu Youming didn’t speak, but walked straight to the entrance, with an expressionless face, he raised his hand and shut down the entire household’s security system.

In this way, even if Lu Chengye was frantically ringing the doorbell outside, they wouldn’t be disturbed.

Seeing this scene, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but remark again, Fourth Brother really is a man of few words but decisive action.

The whole Lu Family acted as if nothing had happened, only Li Muchen, as an outsider, politely asked Jiang Ting, "Aunt Jiang, is this really okay?"

"Don’t worry," Jiang Ting said with an unconcerned face, "He has plenty of cronies; without a wallet or phone, he won’t starve or freeze. We’ll eat ours."

Then warmly looked toward Li Muchen, "Xiao Chen, it’s your first official visit, today auntie will personally cook some of my signature dishes for you."

However, upon hearing this, Lu Youye immediately grabbed her hand in alarm, saying, "No, no, no, Mom!"

"It hasn’t even been three months since our kitchen last exploded, I believe you don’t need to cook personally for Li Muchen to feel your sincerity!"

Saying this, Lu Youye gave Li Muchen a suggestive wink.

Li Muchen immediately caught on, and the tall man, handsome in features, said agreeably, "Yes, Aunt Jiang, I have already felt it."

"...Well, okay then," Jiang Ting, disappointedly withdrew her hand and said reluctantly, "then I’ll go check out the Jade ring Xiao Chen gave me."

"Oh my, Xiao Chen, you’re giving me such a precious gift on our first meeting; I really am embarrassed."

Watching her mother gleefully unboxing it, not showing a hint of embarrassment, Lu Youye felt for the first time, that indeed women can say one thing but mean another.

Seeing the girl in the wheelchair zoning out, Li Muchen squatted down in front of Lu Sheng, lifted his hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, and asked in a deep tone, "...What are you thinking about?"

Her beloved stayed by her side, her brothers were each busy with their own things, her stepmother joyously tried on the ring on the sofa, and the servants bustled about in the living room and kitchen.

"Nothing."

Lu Sheng refocused her gaze, seeming somewhat sentimental, with a faint smile in her eyes and at the corner of her mouth, "I just felt, perhaps for the first time, the so-called human realm’s fireworks atmosphere. This feeling... is very blissful."
