Chapter 17

His words were like soft knives that stabbed into people’s hearts.

Jiang Yining was silent for a moment. “I’ll go and apologize to your grandmother now.”

“Do you think you did something wrong?”

“No.”

“Then what are you apologizing for?” Jiang Yining looked a little sluggish.

“Stay in your room obediently and don’t go out. I’ll settle Grandma’s side,” Lu Zhi said in a deep voice.

“Mhm.”

Lu Zhi turned around and left.

Jiang Yining stared at the tightly shut door and waved her fist in defiance.

She was not allowed to do this or that all day long.

It was too overbearing!

If he really married a wife in the future, would she be able to tolerate him?

She would be destined to lead a lonely life!

She cursed silently in her heart, but the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.

In the living room, Chen Kexin helped Old Madam Lu to sit down, poured two cups of tea, and comforted her, “Grandma, don’t let anger ruin your health. It’s not worth it for that kind of vulgar village girl.”

Old Madam Lu nodded, but she could not help but sigh in her heart. Ah Zhi had been sensible since he was young and had never made his family worry about him. All her life, she had only been worried about his illness and his marriage.

The reason why she had made such a big fuss this time was because Jiang Yining had stepped on her toes.

Using Lu Zhi’s illness to occupy the position of Young Mistress of the Lu family.

If she was only after money, she could turn a blind eye.

Using Ah Zhi’s illness as a threat, she could not tolerate it!

Just as the two of them were talking, Lu Zhi returned.

Old Madam Lu noticed her grandson. She put down her teacup and said, “Ah Zhi, did you see that girl’s behavior? Hurry up and send her away. Grandma knows that you want to get treated, but you can’t sacrifice your life’s happiness for this. Besides, that girl just now didn’t look like a good person. You…”

Before the old lady could finish her sentence, Lu Zhi took two red books and placed them on the table.

She could not help but stop.

“What is this?”

Chen Kexin asked curiously.

What else could it be?

The marriage certificate, of course!

Old Madam Lu picked it up and glanced at it. After confirming that the seal on it was not forged, she almost fainted. “Marriage is such a big matter. You decided without discussing it with your family?”

“I like her and I’ve decided that she’s my wife. Whether I discussed it with the family or not, it would not change the outcome. Originally, I planned to bring her back this weekend to meet you guys. But I didn’t expect you to get the news so early.”

“In that case, it saves us the trouble of making a trip to inform you. Also, I think I need to explain what you saw just now. This money was given to me by Yining, not the other way round.”

“She’s a good girl. She’s not as bad as you say. If any of you continue to humiliate her, I won’t sit idly by.”

Lu Zhi rarely said such things.

It was rare for him to say it, so it made people feel that he was serious.

“Nonsense! This is simply nonsense!” Old Madam Lu was furious. How could she listen to his explanation? Just the marriage was enough to shatter her rationality.

Chen Kexin took the marriage certificate from her hands. When she saw the two registered people, her eyes instantly turned red.

“Brother Ah Zhi, you must be lying to me.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to check.” Lu Zhi said lightly, “Kexin, I’ve already explained to you many times. I only treat you as my sister. Yining is my wife. Don’t target her anymore. I’ll say the same thing for the last time. If you dare to disrespect her again in the future and go around stirring up trouble, then don’t come to our house.”

These words were quite serious.

Chen Kexin’s hands trembled as she said with tears in her eyes, “I don’t believe it. It must be fake…”

Lu Zhi replied coldly.

Rustle!

Chen Kexin tore the marriage certificate in half and lied to herself.

“Brother Ah Zhi isn’t married! It’s all fake! I’m Brother Ah Zhi’s wife candidate!”

Anger flashed across Lu Zhi’s face, but he quickly regained his composure. “Go ahead and tear it up. If I lose my marriage certificate, I’ll never get a divorce.”
