Chapter 95 Evil Repays Evil

Su He was still very weak after the surgery.

Lu Yanbei stayed by her side, never leaving her, and barely slept for a day and a night, afraid that she would disappear if he fell asleep.

Old Master Lu also came to visit. Seeing Su He's pale face and the bandage around her head, he was heartbroken. "Susu, does your head still hurt?"

Su He forced a smile. "Grandpa, it doesn't hurt, I just feel a bit dizzy."

"Alas, how could this have happened!"

"Those people are truly lawless!"

After learning the truth, Old Master Lu immediately scolded Lu Yunting to no end. He called him foolish for letting in a wolf, incompetent in raising his daughter, and accused them of coveting things they shouldn't.

Lu Yunting was completely stunned, unaware of what was happening.

Old Master Lu threw the evidence of Zhou Yingzi bribing her childhood friend to kidnap Su He in his face and raised his cane to strike him. "If it weren't for you, Susu wouldn't have suffered this!"

"You let that stepdaughter of yours ruin a perfectly good wedding! I shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then and kept you ungrateful wretches for so many years!"

"Speak! Did you know about this all along? Did you also want to get rid of Susu to make way for your stepdaughter? I'm telling you, that's impossible!"

"Dad, I truly didn't know about this!" Lu Yunting cried out in pain as he took several blows. He dodged while trying to defend himself, "She did all those things, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Nothing to do with you? If it weren't for your indulgence, would she have dared to be so brazen?"

"A bastard child whose father is unknown, and she dares to dream of being my Lu family's daughter-in-law? Where does she get the nerve!"

Old Master Lu truly regretted his decision.

Over twenty years ago, he had lost his beloved daughter. Seeing that his grandson was still young and didn't want him to lose his father after losing his mother, he let Lu Yunting stay in the Lu family.

Who would have thought that after a few years, he would find someone else?

Old Master Lu was not an overbearing or tyrannical person. He didn't think about interfering when his daughter had been dead for many years and he remarried. Moreover, even if he disliked Zhao Yafen and her daughter, at least Lu Jingyang, the fake grandson, was quite well-behaved. Thinking that he had some blood relation with Lu Yanbei, and the two brothers would have a companion, he turned a blind eye.

Lu Jingyang grew up under the watchful eye of Old Master Lu and was not led astray. However, the He family's genes determined that his intelligence would not be very high. Lu Jingyang had a good heart, just not a very sharp mind. Seeing how much he admired his elder brother Lu Yanbei, Old Master Lu was willing to dote on him a little more.

Unfortunately, with parents like Lu Yunting and Zhao Yafen, he was destined to be dragged down.

"Get out! Don't appear before me again! I will transfer your alimony to your card every month. As for anything else, don't even think about it." The old man snorted coldly and ordered the security guards to drag him out.

Lu Yunting returned to the He family's side and immediately berated Zhao Yafen. "Look at the daughter you raised! Why is she so troublesome!"

"She's twenty-five or twenty-six and still living off you, eating and drinking for free! If you don't work properly, get married soon!"

Zhao Yafen was confused by the scolding and felt very wronged. "You got into trouble with the Old Master, why are you blaming Yingzi?"

"When your daughter comes back, ask her what good deeds she's done!" Although Lu Yunting didn't like Su He and didn't genuinely care about her, he wasn't stupid. He knew her importance in the Old Master's heart. It would have been fine if they had stayed out of each other's way, but Zhou Yingzi's actions completely severed their ties with the Lu family.

If he didn't take his anger out on Zhou Yingzi, who else could he blame?

Upon hearing the words "your daughter," Zhao Yafen's expression immediately soured.

When they first got together, he had promised to treat Yingzi as his own daughter. Over the years, he had done so, treating Zhou Yingzi very well. Although not to the extent of giving Lu Jingyang whatever he wanted, he had not mistreated her.

Now, he was referring to her as "your daughter," clearly intending to distance himself from her.

Zhao Yafen felt a lump in her throat but dared not lose her temper with Lu Yunting.

After all, she and her daughter still had to live off him.

At this moment, a car horn sounded from outside. Then, a sack was thrown onto the ground below. Neighbors came out to watch, and Zhao Yafen's attention was drawn to the scene.

A kind person untied the rope of the sack, revealing Zhou Yingzi's face, which was full of silicone. Zhao Yafen's heart skipped a beat.

She rushed downstairs in three quick steps, squeezed into the crowd, and hugged Zhou Yingzi. "Yingzi, what happened to you?"

Zhou Yingzi seemed frightened and looked around nervously. Only when she met Zhao Yafen's familiar face did she cry out, "Mom, save me..."

"What happened? Why is she so scantily clad?"

"It looks like she's been harmed by some scoundrel..."

"Oh, how pitiful..."

"Wearing so little in this cold weather, she doesn't look like a decent person..."

"Wandering around like this late at night, it's no wonder something happened!"

The surrounding gossip made Zhao Yafen's face turn red.

"What nonsense are you spouting! My daughter is a talented graduate from a prestigious university, not like you say!"

"If you slander again, I'll call the police!"

Zhao Yafen was a shrew, and to protect Zhou Yingzi, she immediately unleashed her fury, cursing at the onlookers.

The onlookers who had come to watch backed away, not wanting to be sprayed with her spittle.

Zhao Yafen looked at the bruised and battered Zhou Yingzi with great distress, rushed forward, and hugged her. "My poor daughter, who could be so heartless to do this to you! Tell me, Mom will never let them go!"

Zhou Yingzi sobbed uncontrollably but refused to utter a single word.

Zhao Yafen had no choice but to help her upstairs and comfort her softly. After a long time, Zhou Yingzi fell into a deep sleep, and Zhao Yafen breathed a sigh of relief.

By then, Lu Yunting had already left, leaving only the mother and daughter at home.

Lu Yunting had kicked out his He family aunt some time ago, and only then did they have a place in this house. She absolutely did not want to squeeze into a room with her daughter in a cramped situation again.

She tried calling Lu Yunting's phone, but he was impatient and later simply turned it off.

Zhao Yafen was furious but powerless against him.

She had no job and no savings, so she had to ask Lu Yunting for money. Even though she knew he had someone else, she dared not fall out with him.

Zhao Yafen was desperate and called her son for help. "Yangyang, your sister is in trouble... Mom doesn't know what to do..."

As soon as Lu Jingyang heard that Zhou Yingzi was in trouble, he rushed back immediately.

Song Yan rolled her eyes at his retreating back.

Hmph!

Mama's boy!

Fortunately, she was just playing with him!
