Chapter 84 - 84: You Have That Thing Too
“Did the old master ask you to come?”
Compared to her deliberate actions, Lu Chu Yao was much more casual. He didn’t even look up at her, and his tone was cold. It was obvious that he didn’t want to pay attention to this woman in front of him.
“Don’t tell me you don’t plan to bring her home?” Du Xin Yu smiled and Lu Chu Yao didn’t answer.
“Even if you don’t like me, I’m still your stepmother. I’m concerned about your big and small matters. How many people are staring at you in your current position? You casually found a woman with no status in a small city and married her. Have you ever considered the old master and the Lu family?” Du Xin Yu spoke earnestly.
“Do you have to treat me like this every time we meet?” she asked again.
Hearing this, Lu Chu Yao raised his head lazily. “Madam Du, are you done?”
“I’m just concerned about you!”
“Put away your act. I’m afraid it’ll disgust me.”
Lu Chu Yao said coldly. He felt disgusted just by looking at this damned woman.
“Even if you really hate me, there’s nothing you can do about it. The old man has said that he wants you to bring that woman of yours to see him.” Du Xin Yu braced herself.
“Are you worthy of being hated by me?” Lu Chu Yao said lightly. He completely ignored Du Xin Yu.
“I have brought you the message. Visit the old man as soon as possible. Even if you don’t like me, I still have to play the role of a mother.” Du Xin Yu said, “I know you don’t like me, but don’t forget that you’re not the only one in the Lu family.”
“I’ll deal with the old man myself. Can you not come into my office next time? I know who you are, and you know who I am. There’s no need to act.” Lu Chu Yao could not be bothered to look at this woman.
The reason why he didn’t touch Du Xin Yu was of the old man. Otherwise, he would have wanted to kill her after she had acted on her own accord and attacked Ning Sheng.
“You think I’m acting?” Du Xin Yu smiled.
This time, he could no longer pretend.
When Lu Chu Yao sent those three people to her, he was deliberately warning her not to touch the people around him. Otherwise, she would be the one to die!
“Alright, I’m indeed acting. However, every time you treat me like this in a sea of people, have you ever considered my reputation and the Lu family’s reputation?” Du Xin Yu asked.
“Reputation? You have that?” Lu Chu Yao sneered.
She had done all kinds of shameless things behind his back, and now she was playing filial piety in front of him.
“Third Young Master Lu is not only ruthless but also eloquent. Last time, I only tested you a little, and you gave me a big gift. It seems that you value that little woman of yours very much. Do you think she can be safe and sound in this turbulent capital?”
These words were a threat.
She always knew that Lu Chu Yao wanted to kill her but he was not able to because of the old man.
Therefore, every time the negotiation failed, she would come over to disgust Lu Chu Yao..
