Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 262 - Chapter 262 Chapter 262 Are the Things from Chu Family Useful

Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Are the Things from Chu Family Useful? Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Are the Things from Chu Family Useful? “I see I haven’t mistaken you, you really are Gou Dan.”

These words escaped Lu Xining’s lips, brimming with irony.

A flicker of light crossed Gou Ruibo’s eyes; he hadn’t heard that name in decades, now he got nothing but reverent bows from others whenever he stepped outside.

Regaining his composure, he quickly masked his expression.

He was no longer the young driver of the past; he had established a firm foothold in the precious land of Port City decades ago.

Stepping on the thick carpet, Lu Xining noticed the swift change in his emotions.

Gou Ruibo looked up at the young girl standing before him. As their eyes met, it was as though he saw the intimidating figure who once dominated Port City.

The man who was respectfully addressed as “Mr. Chu” by both the dark and light sides of society.

He was Lu Xining’s grandfather.

In the past, he hadn’t even had the courage to meet that man’s gaze. Now, being suppressed by his granddaughter, Gou Ruibo felt an indescribable emotion brewing within him.

He thought about Chu Yan, who had once been the bell of Port City. After the Chu family’s disaster, she had been secretly sent away from Port City, disappearing without a trace.

So had she hidden her identity and married into the Lu family?

A vague sense of melancholy silently spread within Gou Ruibo.

The look in his eyes seemed to be longing for someone, seeing the repulsive sentiment in his eyes, Lu Xining frowned and stepped back disdainfully.

Could this old man be thinking about her mother?

Just the possibility of that.

Lu Xining felt a revulsion as if she had stepped on something filthy.

The window, shattered in its entirety, let in the whistling cold breeze of the autumn night, making her thoughts clearer and her mind more calm.

Actually, Lu Xining wasn’t wrong.

The moment Gou Ruibo had seen her photo, he had started to suspect her identity.

He had arranged for private detectives to secretly investigate her connection with the Chu family, but strangely enough, they found no information about Chu Yan whatsoever.

There was only one explanation for this.

Someone with a powerful enough background to erase all traces related to Chu Yan had done so from behind the scenes.

This only magnified the fear within him.

The reason Gou Ruibo had decided to help his daughter deal with that two-year-old child was not just because the child was his daughter’s rival’s daughter, but also because he suspected it was Chu family’s bloodline.

“How useful was my Chu family’s property?”

“After using it for so many years, isn’t it time you returned it?”

Her words, like a bolt from the blue, shattered the fleeting sanity of Gou Shanmu.

“What the hell are you blabbing about! The Gou Family is the empire my father struggled to establish, what does it have to do with you? Lu Xining, you have no shame!”

His finely chiseled side profile tensed, a faint, almost imperceptible chuckle made Gou Ruibo’s heart quiver.

Catching a glimpse of the familiar scorn in her eyes, he inexplicably thought of the business tycoon who could make Port City tremble with a mere snort… Chu Zhan!

Lu Xining spoke coldly, “Should I do it, or will you?”

Before Gou Shanmu, who hadn’t grasped the meaning of her words, could continue, he was knocked unconscious by a chop from his own father,

Gou Shanmu, “!!! What the heck is going on!”

With the piercing noise gone, Lu Xining directed Fu Junhang to tie Gou Ruibo up and take him away; she still had questions for him.

But she no longer wanted to stay with the Zhou family.

Before leaving, she took one last look at the silent Zhou Jiawang, sighed internally, and then left the Zhou residence.

Fu Junhang’s men were very experienced in this area, leaving no fingerprints behind, and quickly retreated.

As for the surveillance, it had already been destroyed by Haozi.

Ji Muye, who did not leave together, stood in the shadow of the Zhou family’s living room light, thinking about Lu Xining’s departing gaze that avoided his altogether; his eyes deepened, and he silently chuckled.

Wang Snake looked somewhat sympathetically at his boss who had been busy all night and yet did not even receive a glance from Miss Lu.

The treatment was rather heartbreaking, wasn’t it?

Look, they’ve even forced their boss to put on a brave face amidst sadness.

He nudged his colleague’s arm with his elbow, “Hey, why do you think Miss Lu doesn’t even glance at our boss?”

Ma Sai shifted a half-step away silently, “Do you live by the seaside or something?”

Wang Snake nodded at him and said, “Yeah, how did you know? I grew up by the seaside. I’ll take you there to hang out someday.”

“Wrap it up quickly!”

“All right, all right, no need to be harsh… I, Old Wang, am gentle.”

With that, he stomped on a chair on the ground and shattered it.

–

The next morning.

A bombshell of a news story shocked both inside and outside of Port City.

Zhou Zhenqing, the head of Zhou Family, had died.

Old Lady Zhou had personally shot and killed her scoundrel son, seeking justice for her daughter-in-law.

Port City media immediately exposed Zhou Zhenqing’s marital infidelity spanning over a decade, having a child with his mistress, and his attempts to make his legitimate son financially support this illegitimate child for the rest of his life.

Upon the explosive revelation, all spectators were wide-eyed.

At the scene where Old Lady Zhou was arrested, the media captured the faces of Jia Yunrou and Zhou Xile–their wounds on their limbs made netizens’ scalps tingle.

For Old Lady Zhou’s righteous act of severing kinship, thumbs went up.

Unknown to many, Zhou Ni Juan was in a difficult position.

No matter how she explained, there was no evidence to prove that she wasn’t the perpetrator, even Jia Yunrou and Zhou Xile suddenly turned against her, pinpointing her as the main culprit.

Their reason for doing so was simple.

For two years, Zhou Zhenqing had been wanting to divorce Feng Suli to make Jia Yunrou and Zhou Xile his legitimate family.

Zhou Ni Juan opposed vehemently, thinking that the Zhou family couldn’t afford such a disgrace.

Jia Yunrou and Zhou Xile had always quietly resented her, and this time they saw an opportunity for revenge.

What awaited Zhou Ni Juan was a life fully provided for in her old age.

As for Feng Suli, ever since she had eaten the tablet given by Lu Xining, she was frequently awakened by palpitations in the middle of the night, so distressed that she would bang her head against the wall.

Zhou Jiawang, while burying Zhou Zhenqing, even opted for the cheapest version of the urn.

As for the tarnished Jia Yunrou and Zhou Xile, he reclaimed the house and car Zhou Zhenqing had given to the mother and son under the guise of matrimonial property, leaving them just enough money for medical expenses.

Jia Yunrou and Zhou Xile, who had depended on Zhou Zhenqing and had neither savings nor the habit of working, eventually could not even afford a caretaker and began a life of begging.

These happenings were no longer the focus of Lu Xining.

Her main concern was now her daughter.

Last night, as she returned to the hospital, she saw Jing Zheng quietly shedding tears by Little Dumpling’s hospital bed.

Seeing her, he cried even harder and more fiercely.

Great, her two-year-old daughter didn’t need her to console, but her brother in his twenties seemed addicted to it.

Both she and Jing Zheng stayed at the hospital, waiting for Lu Nuonuo to wake up.

In the middle of the night.

Little Dumpling suddenly cried out in her sleep, her voice hitching.

“Wuu wuu wuu, Mommy…”

Lu Xining quickly picked up her child, pacing back and forth in the hospital room.

She gently patted her daughter’s back as she walked, soothing her, “Nuonuo, don’t be afraid, Mommy is here.”

“Mommy has driven away the bad people, they won’t hurt Nuonuo anymore.”

Little Dumpling held on tightly to Lu Xining’s clothes, her thick eyelashes wet with tears, looking pitifully heart-wrenching.
