Chapter 35: What Kind of Sister-in-Law Is She!

Page (1/3)

All of Lu Boyi and Lu Xifeng’s children had arrived.

The siblings themselves had already been taken to Kaltz Prison, an international penitentiary jointly supervised by personnel from various countries. Everyone incarcerated there had violated the interests of at least three nations.

Lu Siyan had not pulled any strings on their behalf. In the end, Lu Boyi and Lu Xifeng had only themselves to blame.

The moment they entered the main doors, they heard crying and pleading from the sitting room.

“Grandfather, please! Please save my father!”

“Grandfather, please save my parents!”

The two people kneeling on the floor and begging through their tears were Lu Boyi’s daughter, Lu Linger, and Lu Xifeng’s daughter, Lu Xing’er.

Old Master Lu remained remarkably calm. His expression was unchanged, and he took a sip of tea every now and then.

He had personally investigated the entire matter. Even if those two unfilial children had not been arrested, he would still have broken their legs and driven them out of the Lu family.

Now that they had been imprisoned, it was only right for him, as their grandfather, to look after their children. But he would do nothing more.

He had fought his way to his current position with a rifle in hand, and nothing angered him more than people who endangered the interests of the nation. Fortunately, Lu Siyan had seen through them in advance, and everything they had done was completely unrelated to the Lu family.

At that thought, Old Master Lu suddenly found the children unbearably irritating. Their noise was giving him a headache.

“Lu Yun, take them away!” His voice was terrifyingly cold. Even Chu Wanning, who had not yet entered the room, could feel it.

One thing was certain: Lu Siyan was definitely a member of the Lu family. The imposing aura he carried was exactly the same.

Lu Yun waved to the bodyguards. At that moment, the two grandsons could no longer keep their composure.

“Grandfather, please think of a way to save Dad!” Lu Shaoheng said, clenching his fists.

“Grandfather, my mother is your only daughter!” Lu Shaochuan said resentfully.

Old Master Lu gave a cold snort. “Do you know where the money you spend comes from? And you still have the nerve to ask me for help? I’ll make this clear now. Whether your father and mother ever get out or not, I will expel them from the Lu family and erase them from the family register. If you insist on standing with them, then get out of the Lu family along with them!”

Old Master Lu was truly furious.

The four of them stared at one another, utterly stunned that their grandfather could say such things. For a moment, they even forgot to cry.

Their parents had gone to prison. In the capital, they would already be mocked to death. If they were also expelled from the Lu family, they would lose their money as well. They might as well die.

The sitting room fell so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

Old Master Lu glanced at them and thought bitterly that, apart from eating, drinking, playing around, and causing trouble, these children had never done a single decent thing.

Sometimes he wondered how they could all be his grandchildren, yet differ so greatly.

Chu Wanning and Lu Siyan had witnessed the entire spectacle.

“Let’s go.” Lu Siyan took her hand and led her toward the sitting room.

“Grandfather!”

“Grandfather!”

Lu Siyan and Chu Wanning spoke at the same time. Every gaze in the room instantly turned toward them.

The moment Lu Linger and Lu Xing’er saw Chu Wanning, they were petrified.

Was that really Chu Wanning? Why had she come with the Grim Reaper Lu? And why were they holding hands?

No, that couldn’t be right. Chu Wanning had always been timid and meek. There was no way she could possess such an air. But that face was unmistakable.

It was her!

Lu Siyan sensed their eyes lingering on his wife and immediately grew displeased.

“Call her sister-in-law.”

His voice was so icy that the four of them instantly came to their senses.

“She… she’s our sister-in-law?” Lu Linger asked in disbelief, her tone full of contempt. She did not dare say the rest of what she was thinking aloud. She was genuinely afraid of Lu Siyan.

By then, some memories had returned to Chu Wanning as well. Lu Linger and Lu Xing’er were students at Holy Cauldron Academy, and they had bullied her from time to time.

Hah. To turn around and become their sister-in-law—what rotten luck.

Lu Siyan shot Lu Linger a glance, and she immediately lowered her head.

Then the four of them called out in unison, “Sister-in-law!”

Their coordination was impeccable.

“Lu Yun, take them away.”

It was obvious whom he meant.

“Grandfather!”

“Please.” Lu Yun cheerfully extended a hand toward the door.

The four could only leave.

Lu Shaochuan and Lu Shaoheng did not dare utter a single word in Lu Siyan’s presence. Though they hated him to the core, they could only swallow their anger and put on ingratiating smiles.

“Grandfather, Big Brother, Sister-in-law, we’ll be leaving now,” Lu Shaoheng said with a forced smile.

Once they were back in the car, Lu Shaoheng slammed his fist into the steering wheel. The wheel did not move an inch, but his hand immediately swelled.

“Brother, what are you doing?” Lu Linger hurriedly tried to stop him, but she was too late.

Lu Shaoheng was now surrounded by a vicious aura. A sinister, ruthless smile appeared on his face, and it happened to fall within Lu Linger’s line of sight, frightening her.

This was the first time she had ever seen her brother like this. He had always been gentle and well-mannered. Their father’s imprisonment must have driven him to this.

Yes, that had to be it.

Lu Linger did not dare say a word. Even after the car started and they returned to their own home, she remained silent.

Still, the fact that Chu Wanning had become Lu Siyan’s wife was rather interesting.

That idiot, Chu Wanning.

Hah. She was actually looking forward to the start of the new term.

She had not forgotten that whenever their group was in a good mood or a bad one, they would always find some amusement—and Chu Wanning was naturally one of their favorite sources of entertainment.

She had not dared lay a hand on Chu Wanning at the Lu family residence, but at school, the place belonged to her. She refused to believe that Chu Wanning would dare complain to Lu Siyan.

At that moment, she had completely forgotten that because of her father’s crimes, she had long since become the laughingstock of the capital’s elite heiress circle.

Meanwhile, after everyone had left, Qi Gui happened to have the latest set of medical data ready.

“Grandfather, shall we detoxify you today?” Chu Wanning asked in the coaxing tone one might use with a child.

The irritation brought on by those troublesome grandchildren vanished from Old Master Lu’s face, and he immediately broke into a hearty smile.

“Yes, yes. Whatever our Ning girl says goes. My eldest grandson really is impressive. The moment he took a wife, everything turned out wonderfully!” Old Master Lu praised him, unable to contain his amusement.

Lu Siyan curled his lips but said nothing.

They prepared to head to the treatment room. The toxins in Old Master Lu’s body would first be treated with medicine, followed by acupuncture, and finally a medicinal bath to expel the residual poison completely.

“Wife, how long will the whole process take?” Lu Siyan asked with concern, his eyes filled with tenderness.

“About four or five hours,” Chu Wanning answered seriously.

Lu Siyan glanced at his watch and said, “Grandfather, my wife should eat something first.”

Old Master Lu naturally had no objections. When that rascal had asked how long the treatment would take, he had already guessed what he was thinking.

He really was devoted to his wife, just like his father. They were both hopeless romantics.

“Eat. You must eat until you’re full!” Old Master Lu personally went to the kitchen to supervise.

Chu Wanning’s heart swelled with warmth. She had barely eaten that morning, and the timing was awkward. Once the treatment began, she certainly would not think about food.

Her husband was so considerate.

Seeing that her grandfather was not nearby, she stopped caring about the people around her and slipped her pale arms around Lu Siyan’s waist.

“Husband, thank you. You’re so wonderful!”

Her eyes were clear and lively, and her voice was soft and sweet.

Lu Siyan knew that he was utterly lost.
