Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 269 - Chapter 269 Chapter 269 Sudden Crisis

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Sudden Crisis! Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Sudden Crisis! Shang Lvxing wore a sharp, understated black suit, with buttons fastened right up to the collar, his features deep and sculpted, making his profile even more stern.

He moved with assured steps until he stood before Shang Qing, bowed slightly, his tone respectful.

“Father.”

In the past few days, Shang Yueling had hurried back to Beicheng, incessantly complaining about her fiance Shang Lvxing’s indifference towards her, and she even revealed the ambiguous relationship between him and Ji Muye.

As for this adopted son, whom Shang Qing had raised to be an heir since childhood, he was well aware of his character.

It was impossible for him to betray the Shang Family.

Thus, if he showed such aversion and still went through with the task, there must be other hidden reasons.

Shang Qing immediately arranged for an investigation.

Only then did he discover the existence of Lu Xining.

No wonder for so many years, despite sending out numerous people, he couldn’t find a trace of Chu Yan.

The reason turned out to be that she had completely abandoned her original appearance, changed her identity, and married into the Jingzhou Lu Family without any noise, no wedding ceremony or welcoming of guests.

The Lu Family, a household not even worthy to be his rivals.

He was incensed at the thought of Chu Yan degrading herself so much just to avoid him.

At that moment, Shang Qing’s face lost its composure.

Ever since he found out that Shang Yueling was a fake, Shang Qing had people thoroughly investigate Lu Xining’s background.

The moment he got hold of Lu Xining’s photo.

He knew, she had to be his and Chu Yan’s daughter.

The Lu Family couldn’t have produced such a beautiful child.

The gaze resting on Shang Lvxing was filled with Shang Qing’s pride and satisfaction.

Although he had not accompanied his biological daughter or witnessed her life’s journey, as a father, he had groomed the most perfect, most loyal future husband for her.

Meet your fiancee?

What kind of feudal relic crawled out from somewhere!

The instant Lu Xining heard Shang Qing utter these words, she rolled her eyes.

Knowing his daughter got married right after graduation and was later wronged by the Ji Family, Shang Qing wanted to kill Ji Muye.

But fortunately, she was now divorced from that boy.

The three children, although Ji Muye’s flesh and blood, were still young and could be properly nurtured in time.

Shang Lvxing approached Lu Xining with a gentle look, “I am Shang Lvxing, your fiance.”

His appearance was no less attractive than Ji Muye’s, and his aura also carried a shadow of Shang Qing.

Before Lu Xining could open her mouth to refuse or mock him, he preemptively added, “I am the fiance arranged by Aunt Chu Yan; until I was five, I lived with her.”

Although Shang Lvxing had the surname Shang, he was not registered in the Shang Family’s household.

His was a separate household registration.

Hearing this, Lu Xining abruptly cut off the words at the tip of her tongue, saying it wasn’t surprising would definitely be a lie.

She furrowed her brows, her gaze at Shang Lvxing unapologetically scrutinizing.

The man’s gaze didn’t evade at all, letting her examine everything about him from head to toe.

“Lvxing, take good care of my daughter.”

Leaving these words behind, Shang Qing slowly got up, and someone brought him a cane.

Only then did Lu Xining notice there was something wrong with his legs.

Seeing through the puzzlement in her eyes, Shang Lvxing volunteered, “Father was injured many times when he was young; he has a chronic leg injury and can’t stand for long periods.”

Lu Xining pursed her lips: “I don’t care about any of this.”

A gaze followed her closely, and guided by the sensation of being watched, her eyes landed once again on the dog cage not far away.

The Gou Family father and daughter were in a sorry state, completely different from before.

And from Shang Lvxing, Lu Xining felt a similar sentiment to Shang Qing’s.

The Gou Family, they were just insignificant ants.

“If you dislike them, I can handle them for you.”

Shang Lvxing’s voice was light and faint as if he was casually discussing what to have for dinner tonight.

Lu Xining had not made a move against Gou Ruibo and Gou Shanmu just now; he had seen it very clearly, and there was a touch of disappointment in his father’s eyes.

Kindness in a descendant of the Shang Family was like a sword hanging overhead.

Any slight movement could cause it to fall and injure oneself.

What Shang Lvxing had not told Lu Xining was that his father, upon learning of everything she had done to the Zhou Family, was filled with pride for his own offspring.

“Don’t look at me that way, Shang Lvxing.”

“You and I do not have the so-called relationship of being engaged or not, whether you are a child adopted by him or by my mother, all of this is irrelevant to me.”

If her mother had really betrothed Shang Lvxing to her as a fiance, she would not have arranged another marriage with the Ji Family back then.

She did not doubt the truth of the adoption Shang Lvxing spoke of, but it could not serve as shackles binding her life.

Lu Xining’s gaze was determined. “We had no relationship in the past, nor will we have one in the future.”

But Shang Lvxing thought otherwise.

The woman before him was much younger in age.

Even though she had had a marriage of five years with Ji Muye and three children, he was still attracted by her aura.

The moment he saw her, it felt like a fate destined by the heavens.

Sensing some inexplicable concern emanating from him, she furrowed her brow and said earnestly, “I’m serious.”

Shang Lvxing: “I know.”

“But the fact that I do like you is also true.”

Speechless!

Lu Xining increased the distance between them and walked over to the cage to examine Gou Ruibo’s eyes.

Why betray, how to betray, what was taken away…

All of these seemed no longer important.

She clearly recognized the gap between herself and Shang Qing, even in just a few exchanges of glances, she could see the confident strength emanating from him.

Lu Xining would certainly continue to climb, but not in the realm that Shang Qing desired.

She would use her own method to make that man kneel in front of her mother’s tombstone and beg for forgiveness!

Gou Ruibo thought she would take him away.

After all, she still had things she wanted to know, but then he saw her turn and walk away, leaving them to Shang Lvxing.

Shang Family, all composed of calm madmen!

Lu Xining’s tone was grim, she said coldly, “Make sure to clean up properly.”

The people who could talk to Shang Lvxing like this without making him angry were few.

Aside from Shang Qing, there was only one her.

She had come tonight precisely to prevent the Gou Family from getting back on their feet and to see who was backing him.

She was surprised at the sight of Shang Qing.

But what surged more strongly was a mournful rage, for her own mother…

Shang Lvxing’s gaze kept following her steps, her resolute figure resembling the robust pines and cypresses growing on the steep cliffs, fearless of any storm.

He lowered his head with a slight smile, lost in thought, and when he raised his eyes again, there was a chilling coolness.

Half an hour later.

Shang Lvxing changed into a clean set of clothes and went upstairs.

A structured knocking on the door sounded, and Shang Qing, who had not gone to rest, said indifferently, “Come in.”

He spoke with respect, “Father, everything has been taken care of.”

Shang Qing looked at a slightly faded photograph in his hand, with the young Chu Yan inside.

Suddenly, he recalled something.

Ji Muye, who had just landed at Jingzhou Airport, was making his way to a black Maybach not far away with his daughter in his arms.

Little Dumpling was hugging his neck, snuggled obediently against Ji Muye’s shoulder.

Just as they were about to get into the car, an unexpected incident occurred.
