“You brat, come back here!” Lu Guo flew into a rage. He grabbed the vase on the coffee table and threw it at Lu Shaoyang. Not only did this not stop him, but it also made him walk faster.

Su Ling covered her stomach with one hand. Her eyes were filled with confusion. Was this the married life she wanted? On the second day of her marriage, she had to face the mess on the floor and hear her new husband’s declaration of love to another woman. Was this the life she had been pursuing for so many years?

“Su Ling, how did you sleep last night? Are you hungry?” Mrs. Lu’s heart skipped a beat and she quickly put on a smile. She went over to support Su Ling and said, “Lu Shaoyang is just childish and being stubborn right now. Su Ling, don’t take it to heart. When he comes back, I’ll teach him a lesson for you.”

Mrs. Lu’s att.i.tude was very warm, so warm that Lu Nuannuan felt gooseb.u.mps all over her body. She mumbled softly, “Mom, what are you doing? You’re suddenly so enthusiastic towards sister Su Ling…” It was as if she was trying to kiss Su Ling’s a.s.s. It made her feel uncomfortable.

“How can you say that? Su Ling is your sister-in-law now. Why are you still calling her sister?” Mrs. Lu gave a fake smile and patted Lu Nuannuan. Then, she said to Su Ling in a gentle voice, “Su Ling, I watched you grow up. In my eyes, you’re just like Nuannuan. Now that you’re married into the Lu family, we’re even closer. I’ll only dote on you even more. Don’t feel uncomfortable. If you’re not used to it, tell me.”

Su Ling still couldn’t quite react. She shook her head with a pale face. “I’m not unaccustomed to it. Thank you…mother.” She was married to Lu Shaoyang, so she had to call Mrs. Lu ‘mother’.

=”Good child.” The smile on Mrs. Lu’s face became even brighter as she patted Su Ling’s hand, “Don’t worry, when Shaoyang comes back, I will help you deal with him. This brat has eyes but doesn’t recognize what’s valuable. He will regret it in the future!”

Lu Guo also revealed a loving expression and said to Su Ling, “Su Ling, relax. Our families have always been on good terms. You are our daughter. In the future, if Lu Shaoyang does anything wrong, you can tell me. I will beat him up for you!”

Lu Guo and Mrs. Lu’s att.i.tudes were gentle and warm. They couldn’t be any more loving. Su Ling’s heart was filled with warmth and she nodded with red eyes. It seemed that she had made the right choice. The Lu family treated her as family, and brother Shaoyang would definitely compromise and notice her good side.

Only Lu Nuannuan felt that something was amiss when she noticed that her parents’ att.i.tude towards Su Ling was even more fervent than before they got married. She bit her lip.

On the other end, the Ji family welcomed an unexpected guest. The man was tall and straight. He was dressed in casual clothes and had a cold and stern aura. His eagle-like eyes were sharp and his angular face was full of righteousness.

“Mr. Lu?” Shen Hanxing was a little surprised. She glanced at Lu Jin and moved away slightly. “Rare guest, please make yourself comfortable.”

Lu Jin stood in the living room. Even though he was wearing casual clothes, the aura he exuded didn’t seem to be much gentler. He was like a sword that was about to be unsheathed, with a cold and s.e.xy aura. Seeing Lu Jin, even the usually bold Ji Qian couldn’t help but cower. However, the usually timid Ji Ning’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Jin a few times. Then, she took the initiative to bring some tea over and said softly, “Mr. Lu, please have some tea.” As she spoke, she showed a shy and sweet smile to Lu Jin. The dimples at the corner of her mouth were revealed, showing her kindness and intimacy towards Lu Jin.

Shen Hanxing was a little surprised. Even though Ji Ning had walked out of the shadow of her past, she was still a timid and shy girl. She rarely took the initiative when facing people of the same gender, let alone a man like Lu Jin, who was full of aggression and danger.

“Ji Ning, you know Mr. Lu Jin?” Shen Hanxing laughed, then looked at Ji ning. “It’s rare to see you being close to people outside of your family.”

“I don’t.” Unexpectedly, Ji Ning shook his head. She glanced at Lu Jin, then said, “But I’m familiar with Mr. Lu Jin’s aura. Mr. Lu Jin was in the Army, right?”

When Lu Jin, who had been standing straight and expressionless the entire time, heard Ji Ning’s words, the expression on his face seemed to ease up a little, and he looked a little surprised. “Very obvious?”

Shen Hanxing’s eyes flickered. She had worked with the higher-ups for a short time to investigate Ji Mei’s foreign trading company. The few people who had worked with her to collect evidence were all Lu Jin’s men.
