Chapter 76 You're Unworthy
Chapter 76 You're Unworthy
The father and son went down to the living room on the first floor.
Luo Mingzhe, who was suppressing his anger, immediately launched into a tirade of abuse at him.
"Luo Jiuyu, do you think you're so great just because you founded Huanyu Group? You can't even control your own wife, and you even go behind Luo En's back to seduce his women."
"So many people outside are laughing at our Luo family, all thanks to you."
“Your brother and Mu Siran have had a good relationship since they were young. Why did you have to interfere? Over the years, we have already treated Mu Siran as our daughter-in-law. Your interference has made things very awkward for both us and the Mu family.”
"You may be shameless, but I still have my pride. Tomorrow you'd better get out of here and apologize to the Mu family, and promise never to harass Mu Siran again."
In his memory, Luo Mingzhe, as his father, had never spoken so many words to him all at once.
Today was the day I talked to him the most.
From Luo Mingzhe's words, it's clear that he's convinced that Mu Siran is having an affair.
"Since you all believe that Mu Siran will marry Luo En, why should I be able to interfere?" Luo Jiuyu continued Luo Mingzhe's words with a provocative tone.
He didn't mind further provoking Luo Mingzhe, "Founding Huanyu Group is quite remarkable. If it were founded by Luo En, you would be very proud. It's a pity that your eldest son doesn't have that ability."
"You unfilial son—" Luo Mingzhe slapped him in anger.
His hand was easily caught by Luo Jiuyu.
The slap he was about to deliver didn't land on Luo Jiuyu's face, and Luo Mingzhe's mouth twitched with anger.
"Hmph. Your mother shouldn't have given birth to such a wicked child back then." Luo Mingzhe withdrew his hand, his face filled with even greater anger as he stared at Luo Jiuyu.
For more than twenty years, Luo Mingzhe felt that Luo Jiuyu was an indelible shame in his life.
"This is your own mistake, the consequence of not being able to control your lower body. What did I do wrong?"
It would have been better if his mother hadn't been mentioned; the moment she was, Luo Jiuyu's face turned sinister and terrifying.
"Don't think that just because you're my father, you can treat me like this. You're not worthy."
"I am now the chairman of Huanyu Group, and my wealth is more than ten times that of yours. Believe me or not, I can make your Luo family's company go bankrupt with just a flick of my finger. I'll make your eldest son starve, and let's see if he can still marry Mu Siran then."
Luo Jiuyu slightly raised his chin and glanced sideways at Bian Xuan, who was walking over from the other side. "Keep your daughter in check and don't let her gossip outside and ruin my wife's reputation. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Bian Xuan came over intending to join her husband in scolding Luo Jiuyu and venting Luo En's anger, but she didn't expect him to be so arrogant.
The thought of him becoming the chairman of Huanyu Group overnight, with a net worth of nearly a trillion, filled Bian Xuan with both jealousy and hatred. She regretted not strangling him when he was still an infant.
They thought they had raised a dog, but little did they know that this dog would grow up to be a wolf—a heartless ingrate who turned on them and bit them back.
Luo Mingzhe was furious at Luo Jiuyu's outrageous behavior and pointed at him, saying, "You dare threaten me with that tone? If you're so capable, then don't take the surname Luo."
"Heh—" Luo Jiuyu curled his lips into a wild smile, put his hands in his pockets, and strode out.
"I can change my surname at any time and take my mother's surname, Yan!"
Luo Mingzhe, standing behind her, was so angry he almost had a heart attack, while Bian Xuan's face turned pale and red.
"Look at your youngest son, he won't be satisfied until he drives you crazy." Seeing Luo Mingzhe's exasperated appearance, Bian Xuan was both angry and amused.
Luo Mingzhe had never heard anything nice from Bian Xuan before, and he had gotten used to it over the years. Not wanting to argue with her, he turned and went upstairs to his room.
The couple has been sleeping in separate rooms for many years without getting divorced, but they maintain a respectable marriage in public for the sake of their child.
More than twenty years ago, Luo Mingzhe was young, handsome, and charming, with many mistresses on the side. Bian Xuan harbored deep hatred for him, but considering that her two children were still young at home, she endured his betrayal and did not choose to divorce him.
Unexpectedly, he later hooked up with Luo Jiuyu's mother, Yan Huan, and bewitched the young woman who had just graduated from university. She even got pregnant and had a child for him.
He lied to Yan Huan, saying he was single. Later, Yan Huan got pregnant and proposed to him. He then turned his back on her, broke up with her decisively, and refused to keep the child.
Yan Huan was heartbroken and considered aborting the child, but couldn't bring herself to do it. It was Luo Jiuyu's grandparents who came to her door and asked her to give birth to the child so they could raise it.
After giving birth, Yan Huan entrusted the child to Luo Jiuyu's grandparents to take back to the Luo family. Yan Huan then went abroad to start a business and live, never to return to China.
Perhaps due to depression caused by this failed relationship, Yan Huan died at the age of thirty.
Her death was a relief. Bian Xuan thought so.
For Bian Xuan, Luo Jiuyu is a thorn in her failed marriage, which has become deeper and deeper over the past twenty years, constantly reminding her of Luo Mingzhe's betrayal.
The dead are completely freed; only those who live on and still suffer are worse off than dead.
On her way back, Luo Jiuyu received a call from Amo.
Amo said he found that Hua Meimei had checked in at a chain hotel, but checked out in less than an hour.
After checking out, their whereabouts have not yet been determined.
He had already guessed that Hua Meimei had been picked up from the hotel by Fei Chenfeng.
Fei Chenfeng's attempt to take advantage of the situation is utterly shameful.
It's already 11 o'clock, so late. Hua Meimei should be asleep by now. He can hold off on going to see her for the time being. Let her get a good night's sleep, and go directly to her company tomorrow.
She can run away, but she can't hide. She loves her career so much, she can't possibly abandon her company. She will definitely go to the company.
Even if I don't go tomorrow, I'll end up there someday.
Isn't he afraid he won't be able to find her?
……
Fangyuan Hotel.
There was a knock on Mu Siran's room door.
Mu Siran, who was curled up on the bed with her phone in her hand, scrolling through the trending topics and comments, glanced at the time displayed in the upper left corner of her phone.
Who would knock on her door so late?
She felt uneasy.
The knocking continued, suggesting she wouldn't give up until she opened the door.
She couldn't help but throw off the covers and get out of bed. Without even putting on her shoes, she tiptoed to the door and peered through the peephole.
I spotted a man whose face looked haggard but whose handsome features were still undeniable.
It's Lorne.
She breathed a sigh of relief. At least he wasn't a stranger.
He quickly took another breath, feeling a surge of tension and panic.
When she made up her mind to turn back and pursue Luo Jiuyu, she forgot to calculate Luo En's reaction.
At that time, all I could think about was the regret I felt for Luo Jiuyu's rejection, and I was planning how to win her back.
They've all forgotten how to handle their relationship with Lorne.
The knocking grew more urgent.
Lorne was clearly getting impatient.
It's so late, it'll disturb the neighbors.
She decided to stop thinking about it and reached out to open the door.
“Lorne.” She gave him a beautiful smile, just like always.
The anger on Lorne's face dissipated somewhat when he saw her radiant smile.
"Ranran, let's go inside and talk." Lorne pulled her into the house and kicked the door shut.
"You're hurting me," Mu Siran said reproachfully.
Lorne led her to sit on the sofa in the room, while he stood above her, looking down at her.
He had never held himself in such high regard before; he usually treated her like a princess.
She looked up at his indifferent face and was stunned.
