Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Exposing the Lie

After filling out the forms, Zhang Tianhai led them into the school.

Lu Youxi arrived at Lu Youbang’s dormitory building first, spotting Zhang Tianhai from afar, bringing Lu Zhenguo and a group of people towards her.

As Zhang Tianhai got closer, Lu Youxi found his face more and more familiar.

"Aren’t you..." Lu Youxi suddenly remembered.

Wasn’t Zhang Tianhai the taxi driver she and Zhou Shuyan had encountered on their first day in the Imperial Capital?

Zhang Tianhai’s smile stiffened, and he said with a laugh, "Heh heh, I’m a friend of Xiao Zhou."

"No wonder, I guessed that day you knew Zhou Shuyan; otherwise, why would you have been so excited to see him." Lu Youxi said this, but she still felt something was off.

But right now, that wasn’t important.

Lu Youxi called Lu Youbang.

Lu Youbang really didn’t have Lu Youxi’s number; seeing a string of unfamiliar numbers, he answered the phone suspiciously.

"It’s me, Lu Youxi," she said.

Hearing Lu Youxi’s voice, Lu Youbang’s face darkened instantly.

All because of Lu Youxi, his affairs had been blown up all over the school, causing quite the storm.

It damaged his reputation quite a bit.

And she also made him lose money on stocks.

Just mentioning Lu Youxi made him angry!

Lu Youbang’s tone was harsh, "What is it?"

"Are you at the dormitory right now? I’m downstairs at your dorm building; come down, I have something to say to you," Lu Youxi said indifferently.

Lu Youzhen whispered to Ge Guifen, "Mom, look at the attitude Lu Youxi has towards brother!"

"She’s always held a grudge against your brother," said Ge Guifen, not surprised by Lu Youxi’s attitude.

Lu Youbang had spent Lu Zhenguo’s money, and Lu Youxi must have been holding onto that grudge.

"I got it," Lu Youbang said in a heavy voice, before hanging up.

Lu Youxi hung up the phone, a smile on her face as she said to the Lu Family’s elders and Ge Guifen, "Grandparents, cousin will be down in a moment."

Seeing Lu Youxi’s beaming attitude towards them, Ge Guifen felt it strange, "Why didn’t you tell him we were here?"

"I wanted to give him a surprise," Lu Youxi said cheerfully.

Many students passing by saw the Lu Family’s elders and the others, giving them curious looks.

Lu Youxi saw Su Shanshan coming down and hurriedly waved at her, "Shanshan, this is my dad and mom, this is my brother. These are my grandparents and my aunt, Lu Youbang’s mother. And that’s Lu Youbang’s sister, my cousin."

"Oh!" Su Shanshan greeted Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu first with politeness, "Uncle, auntie, hello. I’m Youxi’s classmate, living in the dormitory opposite hers."

Then, she looked at the Lu Family’s elders, Ge Guifen, and Lu Youzhen.

After Lu Youbang’s reputation declined, Huang Mengyao explained everywhere that Lu Youbang’s family was from Fengnan City.

But looking at Ge Guifen’s dress, she didn’t seem like a city dweller at all.

It was no different from Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu’s attire.

Just passing by were some of Lu Youbang’s classmates and those who knew Huang Mengyao.

Lu Youxi had spoken loudly when introducing them, and passersby heard everything clearly.

Returning to their dormitories, they began to spread the word.

"Lu Youbang’s grandparents, his mom, and sister have come; they are down at the dormitory building."

"Isn’t it said that Lu Youbang is from Fengnan City? But looking at the elders’ attire from his family, it doesn’t seem like it at all. Instead, it fits the description Lu Youxi gave about her family living in the countryside."

Lu Youbang was still unaware; just as he descended and stepped out of the dorm building, he saw the Lu Family’s elders, Ge Guifen, and Lu Youzhen.

Lu Youbang’s head exploded with shock, and he was stunned for several seconds.

How had they come?

Immediately, he realized.

It was Lu Youxi!

Lu Youbang’s first instinct was to flee back to the dormitory.

But who would have known that Lu Youzhen, the pig-headed teammate, would suddenly shout out with excitement, "Brother!"

"Mom, it’s brother!" Lu Youzhen said loudly with joy.

"Youbang!" Old Madam Lu cherished Lu Youbang the most; seeing him, she excitedly approached.

Lu Youbang now couldn’t run, and he had to come out, steeling himself.

Before he could speak, Lu Youxi said from the side, "Cousin, Grandparents and Auntie missed you, so they came all the way from Hexing Village. Auntie, did you bring the vegetables from our own farm for Youbang Brother? I really miss the vegetables from our own farm at school; they’re especially sweet and different from what we eat here."

"Ah?" Ge Guifen was dumbfounded, saying instinctively, "I didn’t bring any, Youbang, you miss the vegetables from home? If I had known, I would have brought some!"

Everyone listened, where in the city would they have land to farm vegetables?

Just now, Lu Youxi mentioned Hexing Village, and Lu Youbang’s mother did not deny it.

It seems his family really does live in Hexing Village.

Lu Youbang even lied about living in Fengnan City.

"Mom, don’t listen to Lu Youxi’s nonsense; we don’t grow any vegetables," Lu Youbang hastily said.

"Cousin, although uncle is in prison, Auntie still manages our farm as always; she hasn’t neglected it at all," Lu Youxi added.

"What are you talking about!" Old Madam Lu was afraid of people knowing Lu Zhenjia was in prison, damaging Lu Youbang’s reputation, and she quickly countered, "Your uncle was framed by you, and you still have the nerve to talk about it here! You are the most cunning, you even harmed your uncle! Someone like you going to university will only become a scourge to society!"

"My goodness, how could a grandmother talk about her own granddaughter like this?"

"But there’s nothing wrong with Lu Youxi."

"Yeah, when their classmates were trading stocks, she even reminded them to sell early to avoid losing money."

"Yes, I heard her classmates have made quite a bit of money following her advice, and those who lost money were the ones who didn’t listen to her. Later, they all started listening to her too."

"If it were someone else, they could have chosen not to warn them, but she still did; this shows she has a kind heart."

"Mengyao, didn’t Lu Youbang say his dad worked in a warehouse in some factory in Fengnan City? But listening to his grandmother, it seems like his dad is indeed in prison."

"Moreover, the way his mom just spoke, it sounds like his family still lives in Hexing Village, and not at all in Fengnan City."

Who could have expected, at that moment, Huang Mengyao was also there.

Her two roommates were with her, and they all heard these conversations as well.

But at the scene, there were just too many people; Lu Youxi had caused a near threefold circle of onlookers, and standing in the crowd, Huang Mengyao was not easily noticed by Lu Youbang.

Huang Mengyao’s face was ugly, feeling extremely embarrassed.

She didn’t care about Lu Youbang’s background, whether his family was from the countryside or the city.

She originally liked Lu Youbang for who he was.

Liked him for being temperate and ambitious, for his good appearance.

But Lu Youbang had been full of lies!

Having been deceived so much, Huang Mengyao couldn’t help but wonder, of all the things Lu Youbang had said to her, which were true and which were false?
