Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Awesome! Such a miserable man, such a miserable woman
"He’s slandering me, framing me!" Wen Jingya was so anxious she was about to cry.
The last time with those 20 lashes had left a deep impression on her.
This time she had committed an even bigger offense, and it wasn’t going to be as simple as just 20 lashes.
How could she have thought the fake Divine Doctor would be exposed?
Even more unexpected was that Jiang Man was the real Divine Doctor!
Luckily, she had already deleted all the transaction records and chat history with the fake Divine Doctor and blocked him.
Even if the fake Divine Doctor insisted she was the mastermind, there would be no evidence.
"I framed you?" The fake Divine Doctor was enraged; it was about his life. If he didn’t take the initiative, Lu Xingzhou might break his leg afterwards.
"I have the chat history!" He quickly fished out his phone.
Wen Jingya looked as if she had seen a ghost, utterly incredulous.
How was it possible?
Hadn’t she blocked him?
The fake Divine Doctor was equally baffled.
After the airport pickup, he found out Wen Jingya had blocked him.
But mysteriously, not long after, their friendship was restored automatically.
At first, he didn’t think much of it, assuming it was a bug in the social media app.
Until now, he couldn’t figure out what had really happened.
"Phone," Jiang Man’s tone was calm, stretching out her hand with a cold expression.
The fake Divine Doctor respectfully handed over the phone, like a devout believer.
Jiang Man glanced at the phone and handed it to Lu Xingzhou.
Lu Xingzhou frowned, and after reading the chat content, his calm face instantly turned frigid.
He took a deep breath, and the surrounding atmosphere plummeted with his exhale.
The fake Divine Doctor suddenly shivered.
Lu Xingzhou sneered, his eyes icy and devoid of any emotion, like a sharp blade, staring at Wen Jingya: "You have so many schemes? Such a malicious heart?"
"I..." Wen Jingya, frightened, stood up shakily to apologize.
Lu Xingzhou controlled his temper, as if a storm was brewing.
"What content? Let me see!" Lu Xuemei moved behind Lu Xingzhou and took the phone.
As she flipped through the records, her eyes almost fell out.
"Jingya, I never thought you were so malicious? Look at what you’ve said? You called me an old woman in heat? Told the fake Divine Doctor to flatter me more? And what about sleeping compensation, one night for a hundred thousand? I’m your aunt, is that how you see me?" Lu Xuemei questioned angrily.
"...I didn’t." Wen Jingya was at a loss for words, crying uncontrollably, and she knelt: "I was just joking."
"Joking? The script you wrote yourself, and you call it a joke?" Lu Xuemei raised her voice.
She took a step forward, raising her hand and slapping Wen Jingya’s face.
Slap—
The loud slap wasn’t enough; several more followed.
Wen Jingya’s face turned red with scratches from the fingernails.
"What happened? Xuemei, calm down." Meng Lian, worried for her daughter, rushed to mediate.
Lu Xuemei was too angry to argue, tossing the phone into her lap: "Look for yourself! See what a good daughter you’ve raised! No wonder Zhou’er looks down on her, with such a dirty mind, she’s not even worthy of Manman’s toe!"
"You..." Meng Lian checked the phone, but the screen had turned off, making her frantic.
"Xuemei, is what you just said true?" The old lady was calm but her expression darkened visibly.
Lu Xuemei, feeling wronged, went up to the old lady: "Wen Jingya wrote the script and let the fake play along. Just now the pulse check was fake; Wen Jingya disclosed all my private matters to the imposter, and not just mine, everyone in the family!"
Meng Lian approached the fake Divine Doctor, asking him to unlock the phone with his fingerprint.
Seeing the chat content, she was petrified on the spot.
It was indeed as the sister-in-law had said, Wen Jingya revealed all the family’s private information to the imposter, to make the fake’s pulse reading more convincing.
One particular message about herself was unbearable.
[My adoptive father is impotent, which is why they adopted me. My adoptive mother, living like a widow for over twenty years, seems quite proper, but who knows if she’s genuinely so or just pretending.]
That message cut deeply into Meng Lian’s heart, making her even more furious.
"Wen Jingya, I treated you as my own daughter. How could you say such filthy things?"
"Godmother..." Wen Jingya sobbed, hugging Meng Lian’s leg and begging.
Meng Lian’s eyes were filled with disappointment and ruthlessness; she kicked her away.
She handed the phone to Lu Yaobang.
After reading, Lu Yaobang’s face turned dark.
"What kind of creature have we raised? Mom, kick her out of the Lu Family, now!"
Lu Yaobang was furious, shouting.
He had never been so angry before.
Fubo quickly brought the old lady’s reading glasses.
The old lady put on her glasses to read the phone’s content, stunned.
It even mocked Lu Xingzhou, saying that at thirty he didn’t have any women around, implying he was impotent like her adoptive father.
As for Jiang Man, it was assumed she married into the Lu Family for money, with the couple sleeping in separate rooms.
She disclosed the family’s privacy so openly?
"Jingya, I am truly disappointed in you!" The old lady shook her head, taking off her reading glasses.
Wen Jingya sobbed until she choked, kneeling: "Godmother, Godfather, I was wrong, sob, please forgive your daughter this once." She cried.
"Brother Zhou..."
Lu Xingzhou glanced at her, his eyes void of any emotion: "Grandmother, send her to Africa, the branch there needs personnel."
Upon hearing she would be sent to Africa, Wen Jingya shook her head frantically, kneeling to hug the old lady’s leg: "Grandmother, you can’t send me to Africa, I would die there!"
The Lu Family had a branch in Africa, but only men went there.
Sending her to Africa didn’t mean making her an executive to manage the company.
The result would be abandoning her there to survive on her own.
The conditions were harsh, diseases rampant, and as a weak woman, she was defenseless, potentially getting pregnant easily.
"Godmother, didn’t you just transfer my household registration here? I am your daughter. Even if I made a mistake, you can beat me, scold me, but you can’t exile me to such a place."
Wen Jingya cried herself hoarse.
But this time everyone turned against her.
She had provoked everyone’s wrath, breaking their hearts.
"Zhou’er, do as you said, and send the imposter to Africa too." The old lady sighed, filled with sorrow.
Some people are inherently evil, no matter how good the family environment is.
At least the heavens had eyes, allowing Jiang Man to marry Zhou’er by chance.
The old lady clasped her hands and uttered "Amitabha."
"Zhao Huai, come in, you handle this." Lu Xingzhou ordered towards the dining room entrance.
Zhao Huai immediately entered with a few bodyguards and took the man and woman away.
The fake Divine Doctor was in despair, making no further struggle.
Wen Jingya, on the other hand, went mad, struggling relentlessly: "I’m the Lu Family’s daughter! Let me go! Let me go!"
Her voice echoed even after she was dragged away.
Meng Lian was deeply upset, failed to catch her breath, and fainted.
"Manman, come here and check on your auntie!" Lu Yaobang hugged his wife, shouting worriedly.
Jiang Man raised her eyebrow, and for Lu Xingzhou and the old lady’s sake, she went over to check Meng Lian’s pulse.
"It’s just a fainting spell from emotional distress. Let her rest for a while and she will soon wake up, but make sure her emotions aren’t too volatile afterward to avoid other issues. I’ll prescribe something to calm her."
"Alright, alright, thank you." Lu Yaobang, for the first time, spoke politely to Jiang Man.
As soon as Jiang Man had finished writing the prescription and gave it to Fubo to prepare, Lu Yaobang carried Meng Lian away.
The dining room was a mess, and Lu Xuemei finally calmed down.
When her gaze fell on Jiang Man again, she looked a bit embarrassed.
"Sorry," she said softly.
Jiang Man raised an eyebrow, "Huh?"
Lu Xuemei just smiled awkwardly: "I’m going to check on my sister-in-law."
She said to the old lady and walked out quickly.
Once there were only the old lady, Lu Xingzhou, and Jiang Man left in the dining room,
the old lady looked serious and spoke sincerely: "Zhou’er, be honest with Grandma, is what Wen Jingya said true? Are you... incapable?"
Her gaze shifted suddenly: "If it’s true, Manman, you’re a divine doctor, make sure to cure him!"
"What?"
"???"
Jiang Man and Lu Xingzhou were both dumbfounded at the same time.
The old lady’s expression was solemn: "Manman, tell me the truth, is Zhou’er really okay or not?"
