"Mom."
Lu Yebai gently called out as he walked in.
The Lu family received the news at the same time as him. At the moment, his father was not there, and he feared the terror his mother must have been feeling these past few hours.
Lady Lu, upon hearing his voice, suddenly lifted her head from the sofa. Her face was streaked with tears, and her eyes were red and swollen from over crying, her complexion as pale as paper. Almost instantly, she noticed the restrained Meng Xi'er standing behind Lu Yebai. Seeing her under such circumstances was unbearable.
Lady Lu almost immediately lunged at Meng Xi'er, wanting to strangle her. Lu Yebai, however, acted swiftly to stop her. "Mom, what are you doing?!" he exclaimed.
