Chapter 161: Chapter 161: The Jiang Family Mistakes Mr. Lu the Third as Their Son-in-law

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhendong pulled his luggage in search of a taxi.

As he walked along, three people came towards him, looking like a family of three.

"You’re Zhendong, right?"

Jiang Yueping spoke warmly, extending his hand to help Lu Zhendong with his suitcase.

Lu Zhendong frowned, "Who are you?"

"I’m Jiang Man’s sister, Jiang Rou, and these are my mom and dad," Jiang Rou introduced herself eagerly, trying to make an impression in front of her wealthy brother-in-law.

Upon hearing the name ’Jiang Man’, Lu Zhendong’s brows furrowed deeper, growing more confused.

A family of three appearing to meet someone at the airport?

But anyway, it shouldn’t be Jiang Man’s family coming to pick him up.

Moreover.

"How did you know about my trip?" Lu Zhendong asked warily.

He had kept his return to the country a secret from everyone in the Lu Family, aiming to come back quietly to avoid media attention.

Even the Lu Family didn’t know he was coming back today, so how did Jiang Man’s family find out?

"Oh, I have friends who work at the airport; they found out after a quick check," Jiang Rou explained.

"Check?" Lu Zhendong’s voice involuntarily lowered, his eyes suddenly reflected a chill.

He instantly disliked this boundaryless relative.

Even this feeling extended to Jiang Man.

What was Jiang Man trying to do? To please him?

"Our car is just outside, Mr. Lu. Wherever you want to go, we’ll take you," Jiang Rou continued, her smile undiminished.

Lu Zhendong, however, kept his face taut, not offering them any niceties, clutching his suitcase tightly, "No need, I’ll take a cab myself."

"Oh, come on, we’re all family, why the fuss?" Jiang Rou said, reaching to grab Lu Zhendong.

Lu Zhendong, who had strong personal boundaries, gave Jiang Rou a stern look, "Please respect yourself."

Jiang Rou was speechless.

Isn’t it said that half of a little sister-in-law’s butt belongs to the brother-in-law?

She was fairly attractive and so proactive, she couldn’t believe Lu Zhendong had no feelings at all.

Could he be feigning indifference?

No matter!

Jiang Rou was very confident in herself.

After all, men are, at the end of the day, creatures that think with their lower halves.

She would manage to win him over someday!

"I’m sorry, Mr. Lu. It’s difficult to hail a taxi right now."

"No need," Lu Zhendong refused flatly and strode away.

Jiang Yueping and Hu Fangqin looked at each other, then turned to Jiang Rou, "Rourou, maybe we should just let it be? Manman has cut off ties with us. Her husband probably knows about it, so that’s why he’s not treating us well."

"How can we let it be?" Jiang Yueping suddenly became unhappy, "Manman is now our God of Wealth. We were once blind to her value, don’t we need to recognize our mistakes and make amends? To win back our daughter?"

"How can we win her back?" Hu Fangqin muttered.

Their relationship had already become so strained; now, anything they did was probably useless, wasn’t it?

"I’ll handle it!" Jiang Yueping slapped his thigh, ready to risk it all.

He jogged to catch up with Lu Zhendong’s departing figure, patting his shoulder.

"Zhendong, I think there’s been some misunderstanding between us. Of course, we’ve said the same to Manman, but she won’t listen to reason. I hope you’ll talk some sense into her."

"She has a congenital heart disease. Back then, we couldn’t afford her treatments, and abandoning her was out of helplessness."

"These past days, my spouse and I have done a lot of soul-searching. Indeed, we were unfit to be parents. We have acknowledged our mistakes and just want to ask for Manman’s forgiveness, to finally be a happy family together."

"I also hope you’ll persuade Manman. We want to make up for the years of parental love we owed her."

Listeniung to Jiang Yueping’s endless words, Lu Zhendong wondered if he was not quite right in the head?

"Shouldn’t this be none of my business?" he asked awkwardly.

Jiang Yueping raised his eyebrows, "Of course it should be you, you’re her husband, and right now you’re the only one who can persuade her."

"Husband?" Lu Zhendong was shocked upon hearing this status.

What was this family up to? They didn’t even know who their daughter had married.

It seemed that he had misunderstood Jiang Man.

Listening to what Jiang Man’s father had just said, it appeared that Jiang Man didn’t have a good relationship with this family.

"Abandoning your child from a young age, and now that she’s married into wealth, you come to freeload?" Lu Zhendong bluntly exposed, his voice very cold, his gaze even colder: "Turns out when people lose their conscience, they really can be utterly shameless."

"Zhendong, you can’t speak like that, aren’t we trying to make amends?"

"I will relay your words to Jiang Man. Now stop following me, or I won’t be polite!" Lu Zhendong warned coldly.

Jiang Yueping naturally didn’t dare to overstep again and nodded dejectedly, "All right, all right, I won’t bother you anymore."

...

Jiang Man and her two roommates stayed in the library until the sun went down.

She rested her head on her hand, appearing casual but was actually reading ten lines at a glance, memorizing the contents of the history book very clearly.

As it approached five o’clock, Lu Xingzhou called.

"Are you at school? I’m coming to pick you up; Eldest Brother is back today, Grandma wants us to visit the old house."

He sounded obedient when he said this.

Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, "I’m in the library."

Twenty minutes later.

Jiang Man said goodbye to Wen Rui and the others, striding toward the parking lot.

The Maybach had been waiting for a few minutes, its body understated, but the license plate was strikingly ostentatious.

Students passing by couldn’t help but look at the car, curious about who was sitting inside.

But the car’s privacy was well-protected; besides being able to see the driver’s face, nothing else in the back could be seen.

The windows were anti-peep, looking pitch black from the outside.

As Jiang Man walked toward the Maybach, Zhao Huai immediately got out of the car to open the door for her.

She got into the car under the envious gazes of other students.

Lu Xingzhou leaned on the sofa seat, fiddling with two jade walnuts in his hand.

The girl sat next to him, bringing with her a fragrant scent.

"What did you need Eldest Brother’s photo for today?"

Lu Xingzhou asked, slanting his eyes, unable to hide the jealousy.

Jiang Man lifted her eyebrows, "Just curious."

"Who knows where Jiang Rou got that gossip, telling my roommate that Lu Zhendong is my husband."

"The funny part is, his ex-girlfriend confronted me to claim her territory, so tell me, shouldn’t I investigate what this supposed husband of mine looks like?"

"..." Lu Xingzhou was speechless upon hearing this.

"Your sister is completely brainless!" he said coldly.

Jiang Man shrugged, "Exactly, so, still jealous?"

She teased.

Lu Xingzhou’s face immediately changed colors like a palette, displaying various shades.

"Who said I was jealous?"

"Denial," Jiang Man chuckled, not wanting to burst his bubble.

The old man was good in every aspect, even his skills in bed were highly satisfactory to her.

But his only flaw was his excessive jealousy.

"You’re even jealous of your own brother? Xingzhou, you’re something else," Jiang Man mocked.

Lu Xingzhou’s chest heaved, and he was silent for a moment.

Suddenly, he turned toward her, propping an arm next to Jiang Man’s arm: "What can I say when you’re irresistible? I just don’t feel
