Chapter 374: What A Temper

It was little wonder why Lu Sr. had been so harsh, but still, how could he go that far? Ye Shuyun’s heart ached at the sight of her son covered in blood. Who could have been in more pain than her? She had carried him for 10 months, her own flesh and blood.

Lu Sr. turned, shifting his eyes away from his grandson and the sorrowful Ye Shuyun.

He tightened his grip on the whip, trying to suppress the tremor.

Lu Yi, covered in wounds, was sent to the hospital. Luckily, he didn’t bleed enough from the whip wounds to warrant a blood transmission. Still, it wouldn’t be a matter of days for him to fully heal.

Much had happened in the Lu House to the ignorance of Miao Xinyuan. When she woke up, she felt that something was off about the Lu Family. There were fewer servants, and Ye Shuyun wasn’t at home for once. In the entire household, a lone fat cat wandered about.

It was as though there was no one home.

She pouted, unhappy with the current state of the Lu House.

“Meow…” meowed the fat cat as it approached her, staring at her with its cat eyes.

Miao Xinyuan disliked cats and even found them bothersome.

She walked past it and head towards Lu Sr.’s study.

Knock, knock. She knocked on the door.

“Come in,” said Lu Sr. with a tired voice. Miao Xinyuan went still for a moment. Her instincts told her that something had happened in the Ye House.

“It’s me, Grandpa Lu,” she opened the door and walked in.

“It’s you?” smiled Lu Sr. A stiff smile.

“Did something happen? Grandpa Lu?”

Miao Xinyuan was no fool; she could tell at once that Lu Sr. was distracted. Even the book on his desk was upside-down.

“It’s nothing,” said Lu Sr. wanly. He took a look at the handsome Miao Xinyuan. He liked the child and thought her the best match for his grandson, but it was all too late now. He had been fooled by his grandson.

No matter how much he wanted Miao Xinyuan to be his granddaughter-in-law, it was no longer possible.

Lu Yi had been a step ahead of him, adding a name to the registry while avoiding his surveillance. He had tried finding out the identity of the fox, but to no avail. He realized that Lu Yi had been wary of him when he made his move.

He had almost flogged the life out of his grandson today, and he would happily do as much to his love. However, Lu Yi had done a good job from thwarting that notion.

He could not find her at all.

“Xiao Miao…” said Lu Sr. at length. “You have been away from home for a long time. It’s best if you head back.”

Head back? The message came as a slap on the face. They were asking her to head back? Wasn’t there the promise of a marriage? She liked Lu Yi too, and even told her parents about the engagement. How do they expect her to head back empty handed?

Without a reason or an explanation.

Showed out of the door just like that.

Chased out.

Her expression changed at once. She wanted to demand an explanation, but Lu Sr. clearly wasn’t in the mood for conversation. She wasn’t shameless enough to linger after overstaying her welcome.

However, she had to have an answer. She couldn’t stand the shame of being chased away with no good reason.

She chose to stay at the Lu House, waiting for that person to give her an explanation.

Lu Sr. closed an eye to her actions. Not like he could chase her out.

Miao Xinyuan remained at the Lu House, waiting for the chance to find that man. However, oddly enough, the man was nowhere to be found, not at the Lu House nor the Prosecutor General’s Office. No one in the Lu Family spoke a word about his whereabouts. She had activated her own connections, but they proved to not be very useful since she wasn’t a citizen of Hai City. There were some things that were impossible for her to investigate.

A few days later, she ran into Ye Shuyun, who had come to take the cat. She feared that Little Bean would be neglected here, so she wanted to bring it to the Lei Family and leave it in the temporary care of her sister.

“Auntie,” Miao Xinyuan walked over. “Why does it feel like ages since I saw you?”

“I had to attend to some things that had happened in the family. I apologize for the ill-treatment of our guest,” Ye Shuyun lifted the cat into her arms. She wasn’t in good spirits. Before her, Miao Xinyuan was standing perfectly fine without the slightest scratch, while her son was in the hospital wrapped like a mummy. His skin and flesh had been ripped open, and even though there wasn’t excessive blood loss, he wouldn’t be recovering anything soon. Most importantly, his face had been ruined too. The memory of it pained her.

Even though Miao Xinyuan wasn’t responsible for the incident, her existence had undeniably played a part in this.

That’s why it was beyond Ye Shuyun to apologize to her with a smile.

“Auntie, can I see Lu Yi?” ventured Miao Xinyuan. He couldn’t have vanished into thin air. Though others could not find him, his own mother would surely know a thing or two, right?

Ye Shuyun turned and looked at Miao Xinyuan coldly. Even a fool could tell there was no love in her gaze.

“Miss Miao, my son doesn’t have a good temperament. You are a good girl, and I’m sure you could find someone better,” she said stiffly. There was no accusation in her words, but no warmth either.

This was no other than a slap on the face of Miao Xinyuan.

Her face went still, then burned hotly.

Was she behaving that desperate? It’s not if she wasn’t popular with men and had to marry Lu Yi.

She turned and stormed off without a word, nearly leaving a hole on the ground with every step.

Ye Shuyun watched as she left, wincing.

Who said this Miao girl suited Lu Yi? Suited my ass! Anyone who said that deserved to have their tongues ripped off. Who could tolerate a girl with such a temper?

Ye Shuyun looked down and patted Little Bean on the head. Once a kitten, Little Bean had now grown into a lazy and silly cat. Still, it was cute enough to melt hearts. It was the same breed as Garfield, but not a pure-bred. Everything aside, it was a good, obedient cat.

“Some things have happened lately, so I’m going to entrust you to Nanny Lei for now. Be good, alright?”
