Without stopping, she rushed home and threw her bag at a servant. She did not even have time to change shoes as she ran into the house.
As expected, Lu Yuxi did not guess incorrectly. She saw Wang Maihe, who pretended to be a relative of the family along with Wang Yun, her mother.
Wang Maihe, who was sitting on the sofa when Lu Yuxi arrived, was shocked at the latter's arrival.
'Why was she here and not in class? Could it be that she had discovered everything?' thought Wang Maihe.
Lu Zhengming saw Lu Yuxi and also asked with some confusion, "Lu Yuxi, don't you have to go to class?"
Lu Yuxi sat beside Lu Zhengming, stared at Wang Maihe, and said, "There are important guests at home today; how can I be absent?"
Lu Zhengming said, "Well then, you're just in time, two guests just came. Let me introduce you. This is dad's old classmate, Wang Yun, and this is her daughter, Wang Maihe. Speaking of which, it seems that you both come from the same school!"
Lu Yuxi tried hard to resist the urge to strangle Wang Maihe to death. She worked hard to squeeze out a smile and forced out words from between her teeth.
"Yes, we are classmates of the same school, but I wonder why you are here?"
Lu Zhengming also felt the same way and asked, "Yes, I wanted to ask the same thing."
Just as he finished asking, Wang Yun plopped down on her knees in front of Lu Zhengming. When she saw her mother kneeling, Wang Maihe quickly followed.
This gave Lu Zhengming a shock. He quickly helped Wang Yun up and said, "Old classmate, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you kneeling? Wang girl, you should get up too."
Lu Yuxi saw this scene and discreetly rolled her eyes. This acting skill could even win an Oscar, an Oscar for the best mother-daughter act.
Wang Yun sat down with the help of Lu Zhengming. Wang Maihe also stood up and placed herself beside her mother.
At this moment, Wang Yun jumped right into the main topic and said, "Zhengming, do you still remember that one night we had after the class reunion eighteen years ago? This child..." Wang Yun paused for a moment and did not continue.
Lu Yuxi was a smart woman. And because she was smart, she learned to control herself and let her father connect the dots.
Of course, Lu Zhengming remembered that night. Ever since he married Lu Yuxi's mother, Lu Zhengming, had never looked at another woman. However, at the class reunion one year after their marriage, he had done something wrong. He felt very guilty and did not dare to tell her. He did not expect that it would come back to haunt him eventually.
Lu Zhengming looked at Lu Yuxi awkwardly and then asked, "Wang Yun, is this the child that we accidentally had that night?"
Wang Yun nodded slightly.
Lu Zhengming looked at Lu Yuxi sadly. It seemed that he would have to let his precious daughter down again.
Wang Yun suddenly sobbed. "Zhengming, I didn't want to bring her here to meet everyone, but I don't want Maihe to suffer any longer. Even if you accept only her, I am fine with that, and I will leave." Wang Yun looked so pitiful that Lu Zhengming could not bear to look at her.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuxi rolled her eyes once more and tried to keep her composure. It had to be said that she could not underestimate this Wang Yun. The mother managed to hit two birds with one stone - getting Wang Maihe incorporated into the family and establishing her right to an accommodation. She was cunning.
Lu Zhengming did not know what to respond. He said, "For now, you can all move back. Anyway, there are many rooms in the Lu residence. As for the matter of validating your lineage, we'll talk about it later on."
Having said that, he went upstairs, leaving Lu Yuxi and the Wang mother and daughter staring at each other.
Lu Yuxi looked at the mother and daughter, who had superb acting skills and thought to herself, 'I'll let you stay here and see how I 'receive' you. There's still plenty of time in the future.'
Wang Maihe was the first to break the awkwardness and sat beside Lu Yuxi. "So, you're my new-found half-sister. Can we get along well in the future?"
Her innocent expression almost made Lu Yuxi believe it.
Lu Yuxi forced a smile and said, "Okay, sister. I have no problems with that. I believe we can get along well." Lu Yuxi emphasized the words 'get along well'.
Soon it was three in the afternoon.
Lu Yuxi woke up from a nap and saw that the Wang duo had already moved in. Were they from a moving company or something? It was even faster than a moving company.
Lu Yuxi could not be bothered with them. Out of sight, she carried her small backpack and went to the shopping mall.
At the mall, Lu Yuxi inspected the sales for a while. Shoes and clothes were not selling well. She tried waiting some more to see if anyone would make a purchase, but, to her dismay, nothing got sold. At this rate, it would be no surprise if the Lu Corporation went bankrupt. She feared the idea of being homeless in the future and left to beg on the streets.
Suddenly...
Lu Yuxi heard a distant wailing of a child from a designer bag store. She quickly ran over to check what was going on.
Lu Yuxi pushed herself past multiple layers of onlookers without a second thought.
“Excuse me, excuse me,” she said until she made it to the front.
A little girl was crying while she hugged a man's leg. She was heard repeating, "Daddy, you were taken away by the bad aunt. Please don't abandon mommy and me. I will be obedient, I promise. Please don't abandon us."
The man being called "Father" was carrying a bag in one hand and holding a beautiful woman with the other. There was a big gold chain around his neck and he looked extremely annoyed.
The man looked down at the little girl and kicked her away in disgust. Being sent more than a meter away, the little girl tried her hardest not to cry, which caused everyone at the scene to feel heartbroken.
Everyone wanted a sense of justice to be imposed. How could such parents even exist? They were simply not human, but animals.
At this moment, a woman thought to be the mother of the child being mistreated, stepped up, and confronted the man.
"You animal, I've been working hard these past few years to earn money for you to do business. Now that you've succeeded, you repay me by looking for another woman?"
"It's fine if you want another woman, but she's your child. How can you treat her like this? Are you still human?"
The woman tried to reach out to the man but was slapped to the ground.
Lu Yuxi could not bear to watch this scene any longer. She picked up the little girl and placed her beside the woman who had fallen to the ground. Then, she walked up to the man.
Slap, slap, slap.
She slapped him left and right, causing Lu Yuxi's hand to hurt.
The man was enraged after being beaten up in public and by a complete stranger at that. "You b*tch, what right do you have to hit me? Do you want to die?"
He tried to slap back, but Lu Yuxi nimbly dodged him and made a face at him.
If he wanted to hit her, there was no opportunity to do so.
Lu Yuxi helped the woman who had fallen to the ground and assisted her in cleaning the dirt off her clothes. She said, "Don't be afraid of him. I'll take responsibility if anything else happens."
Lao Min looked at the young woman who helped her up and thought to herself bravely, 'If a young woman could stand up for herself, so should she. She didn't have to swallow her pride, either.'
Lao Min stood up and rushed to the unfaithful man with surprising speed and slapped him.
A "PA" sound filled the air.
Before the man could react, Lao Min grabbed the mistress' hair and pulled hard.
The pain made the mistress shriek, but she did not dare to cry in fear of ruining her makeup. If she had followed Lu Yuxi's instructions, she would not have any face to save at all.
Before he saw his lover get humiliated, the unfaithful man angrily grabbed Lao Min by her hair and slapped her on the face.
Another PA announcement.
The sound of the slap was exceptionally loud as if he had used up all his strength.
After being beaten up, Lao Min fell to the ground again and stopped. She covered her face in shock. "You hit me; you actually hit a woman. Fine, don't blame me for your misfortunes. Let's get a divorce."
"So be it. I don't want a barbaric village woman like you anymore."
