"Mother, it's not like that. I'll tell you everything when we get home." Lu Ziyin felt helpless.
The person in front of him was his mother. He could not say anything harsh, but he did not want to hear his mother insulting Xia Weiyang.
He knew she had been tricked by Xia Ningyan. If it were not for her, Xiang Wenyin would have definitely liked Xia Weiyang.
Lu Ziyin's hatred towards Xia Ningyan instantly grew.
"How is it different? You're defending her. You're just like any other man with a promiscuous woman," Xiang Wenyin said.
A cold look flashed across Xia Weiyang's eyes. She did not want to listen to Lu Ziyin and his mother anymore.
Without saying anything, she pulled away Shi Jue and the children.
Lu Ziyin immediately saw Xia Weiyang walking away. He wanted to run after her, but he was stopped by Xiang Wenyin.
"Mother, get out of the way!" Lu Ziyin said impatiently.
However, Xiang Wenyin refused to let go of her son's clothes. She even tightened her grip. "Son, that little slut..."
"Mom, stop calling her that. She has a name. Her name is Xia Weiyang," Lu Ziyin said. He then glanced at Xia Weiyang's disappearing figure and covered his face in pain as he sobbed softly.
Lu Ziyin then took out his phone and played a recording of Xia Ningyan talking. It was recorded by Mo Weian. He handed the phone to Xiang Wenyin.
Xiang Wenyin took the phone from her son with a confused expression on her face.
The sound of the recording echoed across the quiet corridor. Xiang Wenyin could clearly hear every single word that Xia Ningyan said.
The more she listened, the angrier Xiang Wenyin's face became. She almost gritted her teeth.
"Xia Ningyan, that damn b*tch! She actually dared to lie to me!" She could not believe that she was fooled by a person she cared deeply about.
The hatred in her heart for Xia Ningyan grew.
She felt infuriated.
She blamed Xia Ningyan for what happened to the Lu family.
"Then, son, you..." Xiang Wenyin suddenly realized that she had made a mistake earlier. She gazed at her son with a sorrowful and guilty expression on her face.
She wanted to take back the words she said to Xia Weiyang earlier.
She felt she ruined Lu Ziyin's chance to be with Xia Weiyang that day.
"Mom, I love Xia Weiyang."
"But she already has another man. Son, we..."
"Mom, didn't you recognize the man that Xia Weiyang was with earlier?" Lu Ziyin suddenly looked at Xiang Wenyin.
Xiang Wenyin's heart trembled as she stared back at her son. She had a feeling that she knew who the man was. "What's his name?"
Suddenly, Lu Ziyin smiled bitterly. "Shi Jue. Young master Shi Jue."
Xiang Wenyin's face suddenly turned pale. Her body went limp, and she almost fell to the floor.
'Oh my!'
She was shocked to learn that the man in front of her earlier was Shi Jue.
It seemed her eyes had deceived her. She was not able to recognize the young master.
At that moment, Xiang Wenyin's heart was filled with regret. She was also trembling with fear. She was afraid that young master Shi Jue would make a move against the Lu family again. She had worked so hard to improve the status of her family. Shi Jue could easily take that away again.
Young master Shi Jue had always been cold and heartless. How come he didn't directly deal with Xiang Wenyin earlier?
Xiang Wenyin could not think of a reason as to why Shi Jue didn't immediately punish her for what she did.
Shi Jue and Xia Weiyang were outside the auction venue.
Xia Weiyang noticed that Shi Jue had been uncharacteristically quiet after their confrontation with Xiang Wenyin. He had not said a word ever since he blocked her hand.
"Shi Jue, what's wrong?" Xia Weiyang asked as she stared at his face.
