Chapter 121: The Truth

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

With each counter-question, Lu Yinan’s expression grew increasingly grim.

He realized that every single one of Lu Miao’s counter-questions was true.

Lu Miao had experienced numerous events after returning home, events of which Lu Yinan had no knowledge.

He had simply chosen to believe Lu Siyu’s words and dismissed Lu Miao’s claims as misunderstandings.

He had thought that by seeking out Lu Miao, he could clarify any misconceptions she had about the Lu family and Lu Siyu. But from Lu Miao’s perspective, wasn’t this merely a form of lecturing and reproach?

Taking a moment for self-reflection, Lu Yinan admitted that even if Lu Miao had truly died back then, he would likely have felt little remorse for this sister he had never even met, let alone seeking justice on her behalf.

But Lu Miao was his biological sister, someone he should have made amends with and protected.

If he were in Lu Miao’s position, faced with such a family member and situation, how disappointed and disheartened would he be?

“I’m sorry. I will investigate the truth of what happened. If it turns out to be as you say, I will go back to our parents and demand that they apologize to you.”

“It’s unnecessary.”

Lu Miao directly rejected his offer. “I didn’t say all this to seek some sort of sibling affection from you, nor do I need their insincere apologies.

Sometimes, blood ties and familial love are two separate matters, just like how you still haven’t believed in me until now. ”

Meanwhile, Gu Ziheng had been waiting in the private room for Lu Miao to return. After a while of her absence, he became worried that she might have encountered trouble outside. He hastily got up and went out to find her.

As he made his way towards the restroom area, he caught sight of Lu Yinan’s towering figure standing in front of Lu Miao with an unfriendly expression.

How dare he bully his sister-in-law right before his eyes?

An instantaneous surge of anger ignited within Gu Ziheng. He rolled up his sleeves and swiftly charged towards them.

He reached out, pulling Lu Miao behind him, and swung his fist towards Lu Yinan’s face.

Lu Yinan was caught off guard, instinctively raising his hand to retaliate.

In an instant, the two of them engaged in a fierce brawl.

Lu Miao rubbed her forehead, genuinely wondering how thick of a filter the Gu family had been wearing when looking at her.

Why did everyone assume she would be the one subjected to bullying?

Taking a step forward, she grabbed hold of Gu Ziheng with one hand and lightly slapped Lu Yinan’s elbow with the other.

Lu Yinan felt a sudden numbness in his elbow, causing his entire arm to lose strength.

Gu Ziheng took advantage of his pause to throw another punch at Lu Yinan before he stopped.

He turned around and looked at Lu Miao nervously.” Second Sister-in-law, are you alright?”

Lu Miao looked at his anxious eyes and frowned.” You’re the one who’s in trouble.”

Gu Ziheng touched the corner of his eye indifferently.”lt’s a small injury. It’s fine as long as you’re fine.”

“Let’s go.”

Lu Miao turned around to look at Lu Yinan.

“From the dav I left the Lu familv, I said that I would have nothing to do with

the Lu family in the future.

I’m not your sister, and I hope you won’t look for me again.”

With that, she walked straight to the door.

“Did you hear that? My second sister-in-law has nothing to do with the Lu family.

If I see you bullying my second sister-in-law again, I’ll beat you up every time I see you.”

Gu Ziheng hurriedly followed behind Lu Miao.

Lu Yinan stood there and watched them disappear at the end of the corridor with a complicated expression on his face.

He failed as a brother, even the Gu brothers were better than him.

Gu Ziheng thought that she was being bullied, so he rushed up without hesitation. He would rather be injured than see her get bullied. And he kept saying that they were family, yet he criticized her right away.

In comparison, who was her family?

Back in the private room, Lu Siyu saw the bruise on the corner of his lips and quickly asked,” Second Brother, why are you injured?”

Lu Yinan looked straight at her.” What happened when Lu Miao went to the Gu family to get engaged to Mr Gu on your behalf?”

Lu Siyu’s heart skipped a beat. Why would Lu Yinan suddenly ask this? Did someone say something to him?

She replied calmly,” Back then, Mom and Dad were also worried that she would suffer in the countryside. They were also afraid that people would despise her family background in the future, so they asked me to return the engagement to her and send her to the Gu family.”

Lu Yinan’s ears kept ringing with Lu Miao’s words.

“Are you worried that she’s suffering in the countryside, or are you worried that the Gu family will really use your life so you get her to die for you?” “Second Brother, why are you saying that?

Miaomiao is Mom and Dad’s biological daughter. They love her dearly. How could they hurt her because of an outsider like me?”

Lu Siyu’s eyes were red as she said this. Seeing that Lu Yinan’s face was dark and unresponsive, she bit her lip.

“I don’t know where Second Brother heard it. If it’s because I stayed in the Lu family and made you suspect Dad and Mom and hurt the relationship between your family, I can leave now.

Thank you for taking care of me all these years. In my heart, you will always be my second brother.”

After saying that, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, turned around, and ran out.

On the way home, Gu Ziheng scolded Lu Yinan. When he returned to his place, he was still indignant.” Second Sister-in-law is wise. She should have cut ties with all of them. I’ve hated that bastard Lu Yinan for a long time.

Second Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t have pulled me. You should have let me beat him up so that he wouldn’t dare to cause trouble for you again.”

Lu Miao opened the bracelet and took out a tube of ointment. She squeezed it into her hand and applied it to the bruise at the corner of his eye.

“Hiss, Second Sister-in-law, it hurts, it hurts.”

Gu Ziheng finally stopped cursing. He cried out in pain and looked curiously at the bracelet on Lu Miao’s wrist.

“Second sister-in-law, where did you buy this bracelet? It was so magical that it could actually store things.”

Lu Miao took out her things from the bracelet and threw it to him.

“For me?” Gu Ziheng blinked.

Lu Miao nodded.” Yes, other than storing things, this bracelet can also be used for self- defense. ”

You’re too weak. Take it with you in the future so that you won’t get injured in a

fight again.”

Uh, was he being despised by Second Sister-in-law?

Gu Ziheng flipped through the things in his hands excitedly.

Lu Miao explained and demonstrated the usage and functions of the bracelet to him.

Gu Ziheng immediately ran out of the courtyard happily like a child to experiment with the bracelet’s function.

Lu Miao shook her head and went upstairs.

She took out her phone and logged into the forum to take a look. Her amulet had always been popular, and the orders on the back end were already scheduled for next year.

In addition, there was also good news from Lin Bufan’s side— he had found the artifact called the Green Xuan Seal.

Lu Miao was about to exit the forum when her peripheral vision caught another piece of news.

Tomorrow evening, there would be a stone gambling event at Mudan Terrace.

Stone gambling?

Lu Miao’s usually calm eyes lit up, as if she could already see a six-figure bank balance beckoning to her.

Without hesitation, she clicked on the notification. The location was at Mudan Terrace, not too far from her current location.

Suddenly, a message popped up on her phone screen..
