Evil New Wife Seduces

Chapter 138

Lu Jian was scared stiff by her words as he heard the hidden threat in her words. Zhen Xiu was hinting that in their marriage she was the only one who has suffered and was subjected to hate and misunderstanding by others. He was aware that his indifferent att.i.tude has brought her pain and troubles time and time again but she has always accepted them with a smile on her face because of the love towards him. Everything was different now as she was completely different from the last two years. Lu Jian did not know much about the magic and clone stuff that has brought his wife back to life as they had not discussed it as of yet but he was sure of one thing that this new wife of his didn"t love him like before. There was no affection and care for him. So he was scared that she would leave him alone because of his previous mistakes and nonchalant att.i.tude towards her. Now that he has realized her importance and how her old personality has suffered because of him, he was scared of losing her. His love for her was not sudden but the realization was late in accepting his feelings. If he has not tried to know her more after she woke up from the coma then he would have lost the only chance to get his true love in this life. Hence whenever his wife mentioned anything about their past and her problems regarding that humiliating experience she suffered because of him; the certain fear that lay in his heart would awaken and would mess with his mind. It was scary and he could not imagine the pain coming from this thought. It was enough for him to live his life painfully if she ever decided to leave him and there would be a suffocating feeling inside his heart at the thought of losing her. "It"s not like that, you don"t need to worry about them. Shen Feng! Apologize first, after that you can leave." Lu Jian"s loud voice rang in the hall surprising Father Lu who was about to do the same for his daughter in law. Looks like, his son was a lot more responsible towards his wife and the seriousness on his face was enough to satisfy Father Lu"s heart. "Yes, Shen Feng! You should apologize as you have insulted my daughter in law and indirectly opposed my father"s wishes. It"s not your place to say anything about her." Father Lu chimed in and was taking his son"s side. It was good that they were working on the relations.h.i.+p and his son was finally growing up and accepting his responsibilities towards his wife. Shen Feng and Shen Rui paused in their steps and were totally shocked because of the unreasonable demand of Lu Jian. "What? You can"t expect me to do this?" Shen Feng raised his doubts in anger. How can they ask him to apologize to that country b.u.mpkin? It was beneath his dignity as the head of Shenjia. He could lose his life but not his reputation. Lu Jian coldly pointed his eyes on Father Shen and was directly threatening him to do as he said for his wife"s satisfaction. Lu Qiqi was amazed at her daughter in law"s talent and wanted to give her big applause for manipulating the entire scene and playing two grown-up men in her palms. Noticing that her father"s condition was getting more ridiculous, Shen Rui"s eyes darkened as she saw Lu Qiqi quietly sitting down on the sofa like she was just a bystander in this entire spectacle. This loose woman was enjoying the show without helping them. What would she feel if her secret was disclosed now? She and that bit*h were of the same category always thirsting for men. It must be the reason that her att.i.tude towards her sl*t daughter-in-law has changed to this degree. Birds of a feather flock together. Shen Rui wanted to unmask this woman in front of Uncle Lu and her brother Jian. As she was on the receiving side of their anger but controlled herself as this was not the time yet to reveal about her lousy character before she could achieve her goals. Without wasting any more time she tried to point everyone"s thought of direction on Mother Lu. "Aunt! Did you call us here for all of this? You invited my father and me for fixing my marriage to Brother Jian but then why are we being insulted by Uncle Lu and Brother Jian?" Big tears sparkled in her big eyes as she placed the blame on Mother Lu. After all, this woman was trying to act smart when her father was insulted and she was embarra.s.sed by that b**c*. Lu Qiqi who was silently watching the drama was now a part of that drama as her son and husband looked at her with cold gazes. Huh! Nothing good comes from this Shen family. "Yeah! So what? I didn"t ask you to insult anybody. It is your fault and you should apologize. Why are you dragging me in this?" Lu Qiqi raised her eyebrows and gave Shen Rui a confident look. Shen Rui snorted in anger and smiled in return as a brilliant plan formed in her mind which can help her in getting back their reputation as well as it could even fix her marriage to Lu Jian again. Shen Feng was so angry that he remained quiet while his daughter was handling the situation. Shen Rui put a gentle smile on her face as she turned towards Lu Qiqi. "Yeah, it"s my bad. I am dragging you inside our conversation but don"t you remember Aunt! When we were in the Star Kids orphanage you talked about this and invited us here." Shen Rui reminded Mother Lu of their imaginary meeting. Zhen Xiu was observing this new development and was keenly aware that Shen Rui was hinting something to her mother in law. It was true as the name Star Kids Orphanage came out of Shen Rui"s mouth all the color drained out from her mother in law"s face and she was plain as paper. It was a mesmerizing sight but also one of the memorable ones. Zhen Xiu"s eyes s.h.i.+ned brightly as she got an idea which was rather daring but will give an appropriate result. She was finally related that she got the new lead for the follow up of her revenge plan. On the other side, Mother Lu was disappointed and spiritless as she knew that she has to help this father and daughter in this problem which will lead to even more problems in the relations.h.i.+p between her husband and her son. She was in a tough spot and was thinking about a good way to resolve this crisis without endangering her relations.h.i.+p with her family. "Oh, yes! I remember." Lu Qiqi accepted Shen Rui"s words without creating a fuss. Shen Rui genuinely smiled this time to approve Mother Lu"s decision. After all, she had the most important card in her hand and could use it to play with Mother Lu anyhow whenever she wanted to; this was like having a cat by its tail. Lu Qiqi was under her control completely. Shen Rui was not satisfied with just this and wanted to use this card even more by pressuring Lu Qiqi into accepting her as the daughter in law of Lujia. "You remember it now. It"s good otherwise I thought we need to go back again and discuss it." Mother Lu visibly tensed and agreed with Shen Rui without giving any attention to her words as her mind was still on the matter of Star Kids orphanage where her secret was hidden. Shen Rui continued to give details about their so-called conversation without wasting any minute. "So you remember that you had fixed the engagement between our families on this coming Sunday." Lu Qiqi was still in her thoughts and responded monotonically. Father Lu was in disbelief as he heard more and more words from Shen Rui. It was hard for him to believe that his wife was playing with their son"s life on her whim. Shen Feng was proud of his daughter and was smiling ear-to-ear in happiness. This was the reason that he like this daughter very much and give her importance in the decision making of Shenjia. Father Lu wanted to intervene in between but before he could speak anything Shen Rui again revealed a piece of even bigger news that shook them. "Aunt Lu! You had already given me this name token as an exchange of our bonding why are we being insulted here?" Shen Rui questioned wide-eyed. Lu Ming could not believe this as the token exchange was a tradition in their family when the members of Lujia would marry these tokens would be transferred to their other half as an auspicious sign symbolizing there union. How could his wife exchange this token without even asking him? Moreover, he was not allowed to exchange the token of the next heir of Lujia as his father was still the current patriarch. Their son was the heir of Lu Conglomerate and not a normal member of Lujia. His wife was too audacious this time that as he has no words left for her. Lu Jian was simply looking at is mother plainly. His cold eyes were simply empty and there was no sign of any betrayal or pain. It was as if he had expected her to do something like this and was waiting for her to achieve this as soon as possible. This was the last stroke that has completely erased any feelings from his heart for his mother. "Enough!" He coldly glanced at Shen Rui before tightly holding his wife"s hand did not want to lose her because of these stupid ideas of his mother. He felt his wife"s hand squirming inside his hand and she wanted to break free from his hold. His heart tightened even more as the fear returned back in full force. Would she leave him because of this? It was not even his fault. Zhen Xiu was stuck with her husband as he was not leaving her from his grip. It was quite childish to see him playing such a poor game. What does he think that she would not be able to release herself from his grip just with this little force? He was wrong as she forcefully pulled her hands out of his hold with complete ease. After all, this was her time to set a trap for all these stupid creatures that tormented her clone into submission and even brought her near the gate of h.e.l.l. It was because of them that her clone was dead this soon and she has to arrive here before the appointed time and suffer from that much pain to get a new body to stabilize in this world. Everything was because of their planning and plotting against her. She could not let them go even if it was her mother in law. They would all face her wrath one by one or all together for messing with her in the past. "Oh! So mother in law has already planned everything in advance from the beginning then why were you guys wasting your time insulting me here?" Zhen Xiu portrayed her pained look in front of her father in law and the poor husband who has no idea that she was just acting for her amus.e.m.e.nt. Of course, she was also setting a trap for them but who would jump in a simple plan so she has to make it grander for them to amaze everyone around her. "I will leave the house." She wiped her non-existent tears and sadly glanced at her husband. "Congratulations Lu Jian on your marriage. I had a good time and will remember you forever." She squeezed these words out of her mouth as her face was covered in tears.
