Chapter 109 Qi Disease
When a woman gets angry, under normal circumstances, the man will give in.
But Lu Congyue didn't. Instead, he said coldly, "An uninvited guest like me is going to discuss manners with you?"
If Kong Yazhen hadn't kept in mind the words of her elders from the Kong and Lu families, she would have given up on the job by now.
Taking a deep breath, Kong Yazhen quickly calmed down.
"Fine, I won't argue with you. I'm here to reason with you. I want to know why you sent security guards to follow me and prevent me from getting close to your house. Are you treating me like a thief?"
Lu Congyue scoffed: "Don't you know why I'm wary of you? Do you want me to explain?"
Kong Yazhen pursed her lips.
I suspect Lu Congyue is referring to the incident where he pinched the child yesterday...
But she didn't actually pinch him; she just lightly pinched the nanny's son.
And it was really light. At that time, she needed to interrupt Aunt Guan and Lu Congyue's argument, and a child crying a little was the most appropriate thing to do.
Seeing how much Lu Congyue cherished the child, Kong Yazhen tactfully changed the subject: "You're quite proactive in guarding against me, but why don't you guard against others? Don't tell me you can't see the relationship between that fat man in the cafeteria and your nanny."
Lu Congyue frowned slightly.
Kong Yazhen saw this and sneered inwardly, looking down on Lu Congyue even more from the bottom of her heart.
He's definitely a man from a remote mountain village, unsophisticated. A country widow can easily bewitch him, and that widow is two-timing him.
ridiculous!
"Brother Yue, I don't know what you see in that widow. Her face? Her breasts? What else does she have besides that? What help can she give you? Given your current status, you should find someone of equal social standing, or at least someone who can help you. That way, you can advance your career to the next level. What do you say?"
Lu Congyue finally raised his head, his gaze sweeping over Kong Yazhen in front of him, and he sneered maliciously: "Besides having a good father, what else do you have? No face, no breasts, and you're almost thirty and still unmarried, yet you want me to take over?"
Kong Yazhen was so angry that her mind went blank for a moment.
She had never seen such a rude man in her life; now she had finally seen it for herself.
How could anyone say such hurtful things?!
"Lu Congyue, you..."
"I've always been truthful and don't lie." Lu Congyue made no attempt to hide the disdain in his eyes. "I have even more outrageous things to say, do you want to hear them?"
A glint flashed in his eyes, and Kong Yazhen involuntarily took a step back, wanting to get away from him.
Just now, she felt that he had seen through her secrets.
But how is that possible?
She kept her affair a secret, even from the Lu family, which is why they chose her as their daughter-in-law.
"Don't be so arrogant! Our relationship is already settled and cannot be changed. Don't make Uncle Lu angry..."
Kong Yazhen spoke with a fierce tone but was actually weak inside. Before Lu Congyue could speak, she ran away in a flash.
Lu Congyue's face darkened considerably. After a moment, he snorted disdainfully and picked up the phone to make a call.
After waiting for a while, the call was finally transferred to the Lu family in Beijing. Hearing a young voice answer the phone, Lu Congyue said directly, "This is Lu Congyue. Let Minister Lu take the call."
The person who answered the phone didn't speak, but snorted. Although it was just a brief sound, Lu Congyue could hear the contempt and disdain in it.
He knew that the person who had just answered the phone was his half-brother, Lu Guoqiang.
Unfortunately, they never had any brotherly affection for each other.
Soon, Lu Sheng answered the phone: "Hey, Cong Yue, how are things going with Xiao Zhen?"
Lu Congyue smirked, his eyes icy: "Minister Lu, I'm here to reminisce with you about the past."
"What?" Lu Sheng asked, puzzled.
Lu Congyue's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Back then, what did you say when you abandoned my mother and me? You said your marriage was arranged by your parents, that there was no love between you, and that you couldn't spend your lives together. You said you wanted to pursue true love and grow old with the one you love..."
"Enough!" Lu Sheng frowned, scolding impatiently, "You're calling to say these pointless things? Lu Congyue, even if you're the factory manager, you can't just hogging the phone line like this. It's a waste of national resources!"
Lu Congyue laughed directly: "Boring? You were the one who abandoned this boring thing, but now you're picking it up again, and you want me to obey some parental command? Are you senile?"
"Lu Congyue!!" Lu Sheng roared in fury, "How dare you speak to me like that? I'm your father!"
"You're not my father, and you're a two-faced, hypocritical Minister Lu!" Lu Congyue said coldly. "I told you before, I don't accept any of this bullshit arranged marriages. Are you getting old and forgetful, or have I been too good-natured lately and caused some misunderstanding? You actually sent a piece of trash like Kong Yazhen to me, wanting me to marry her? If you think so highly of her, then marry her! Aren't you the one who likes young women the most? She's much younger than your current wife, very suitable for you!"
Lu Congyue launched into a tirade, and Lu Sheng on the other end of the phone was so angry he was shaking all over.
Lu Congyue clearly heard the increasingly rapid and heavy breathing coming from the phone receiver, followed by Lu Guoqiang's scream.
"Dad, Dad, what's wrong? Dad, don't scare me!"
Lu Congyue listened, wanting to laugh.
"Lu Congyue, what did you say to Dad? Do you know Dad's health isn't good right now? You'll drive him crazy!" Lu Guoqiang picked up the phone and shouted, "You're being unfilial! You're simply..."
Before he could finish speaking, he started screaming again. He didn't even have time to finish the call, so he threw it aside and helped Lu Sheng, who was about to faint.
Lu Congyue listened to everything clearly on the phone for several minutes before hanging up.
It's a pity I'm not here, otherwise I would be in a much better mood.
Looking at the documents on the table again, I no longer felt annoyed.
He was pleased, but chaos reigned at the Lu family home in Beijing. Seeing Lu Sheng clutching his chest and his face turning purple, Lu Guoqiang was terrified and quickly sent someone to drive Lu Sheng to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Lu Guoqiang is only twenty-two years old and hasn't even settled on a satisfactory job yet. Lu Sheng can't afford to get into trouble at this crucial time.
After sending the person to the emergency room, he tried his best to contact Guan Jing and told her about how his father had been hospitalized due to being angered by Lu Congyue.
It was already afternoon, the time to leave work. When Guan Jing put down the phone, her hands were trembling and her eyes were red.
The office director was extremely worried: "Comrade Guan, are you alright?"
Guan Jing shook her head, tears streaming down her face. Wiping away her tears, she choked out, "Your factory manager... he really angered my husband, Lao Lu. He's in the hospital now and almost didn't make it."
"Huh?" The office director was stunned. Such a big thing was just said out loud. Is it really true?
Guan Jing continued wiping away her tears: "Sigh, I really don't know what to do with your factory manager. Haven't we been good enough to him? Yet he treats us like enemies. How could we, as his parents, possibly harm him..."
