Chapter 866 - Shameless B*tch (2)

But for some reason, when he heard Lu Shu’s words, he was indeed a little displeased. However, this displeasure was not directed at Zhao Youlin. Instead, it was directed at the person in front of him.

He could not help but feel a little surprised. Lu Shu was his precious daughter, whom he had spent a lot of effort and resources to find. No matter what had happened before, he would unconditionally stand by her side. Why was it that this time...

After Lu Xiangtian recovered from his shock, he unconsciously recalled the intimate daily interactions between Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng. He really could not imagine that Zhao Youlin would go behind Mu Tingfeng’s back to hook up with another man.

Perhaps, perhaps it was because he had some understanding of Ms. Zhao and felt that she was not the kind of person that Lu Shu was talking about. That was why he felt that Lu Shu was being unreasonable. Lu Xiangtian found a logical justification for this odd sensation.’’

“Seducing someone else’s husband? Are you talking about... Li Yan? What happened between him and Ms. Zhao? He made you so angry that you would just act so recklessly in public?”

Lu Shu saw that Lu Xiangtian was not blindly getting angry on her behalf, as usual. Instead, he asked her about Zhao Youlin’s relationship with Li Yan. Her heart sank again, and she felt indescribably stifled.

“She... She had dinner with Brother Yan. The two of them seemed very close. Brother Yan called me to tell me that he’s been very busy recently, so much so that he didn’t have time to go home. Even so, I find him having dinner with her. If she didn’t have the intention to seduce him, how could Brother Yan... how could he have dinner with her? It must be her... it must be her...”

“Enough!” Lu Xiangtian couldn’t help but interrupt Lu Shu, who was getting more and more ridiculous.

Lu Xiangtian looked at Lu Shu, whose face was flushed red with excitement. He really couldn’t figure out why his daughter, who was usually quite smart and calm when faced with trouble, would ignore everything whenever she met Li Yan. She was completely irrational.

Whenever Li Yan grew slightly closer to the other members of the opposite sex, she would be like a firecracker that had been set on fire. She would not be satisfied until the other party was dead.

“It’s just a meal. Why are you making such a big deal out of it? Maybe they’re just ordinary friends. You haven’t even investigated them thoroughly yet, and you want to kill someone with just a meal? Is that how I have raised you?”

Lu Shu’s body trembled when she heard Lu Xiangtian’s words, and her eyes widened to the extreme. She could not believe that Lu Xiangtian would actually side with an outsider.

“Dad, you’re actually speaking up for that b*tch. What’s so good about that b*tch that you’re both willing to be close to her? I’m clearly your daughter, yet you’re helping that woman to teach me a lesson!” Lu Shu’s voice was filled with disdain.

......

Lu Xiangtian was stunned for a moment. He seemed to be a little surprised to find himself siding with an outsider. However, what surprised him more was Lu Shu’s attitude.

It wasn’t as if Li Yan had never had intimate contact with the opposite sex before. Even though Lu Shu had often overreacted, she had never been like this before, insisting on killing the other party and even throwing a tantrum at him because of this.

Lu Xiangtian took a deep breath and sighed. “Are you angry because Li Yan didn’t come home, or because he had a meal with another woman?”

“If it’s the latter, then let me say this. That’s normal. It’s impossible for a man to only have contact with men and not women. It’s not that I am criticizing you, but it’s time for you to change your attitude toward him. You have people watching him every day, tying him up, and not letting him make friends with any woman. You don’t even want him to get close to his friends. As time goes by, he’ll get annoyed. Let’s not even talk about prideful men, any human being would hate being controlled to that extent.”

“I...” Lu Shu opened her mouth, wanting to retort. However, Lu Xiangtian interrupted her again. “If it’s because of the first reason, it means that there’s already a problem between the two of you. He doesn’t want to go home. Is it his own problem that he doesn’t want to go home, or is it your problem? Do you have any proof that Ms. Zhao seduced him? Do you not trust your husband that much?”

“I... I didn’t...”

“You didn’t? Why did you insist that Ms. Zhao seduced Li Yan? Even if the two of them really had something to hide, shouldn’t you be looking for Li Yan instead? A girl seduced him, and it’s his fault for succumbing to it and being unfaithful. A person like that isn’t worth that level of commitment, and this also shows that you don’t have the ability to keep your man by your side. It’s a very embarrassing thing. If you’re embarrassed, I’m embarrassed too!”

Lu Xiangtian’s uncharacteristically harsh words made Lu Shu’s face turn even uglier. After a long silence, Lu Shu bit her lip and walked to Lu Xiangtian’s side. She reached out and grabbed Lu Xiangtian’s hand, tears welling up in her eyes. “Dad, you weren’t like this before. In the past, you would have helped me vent my anger instead of blaming me for it. Yes, I admit that my attitude towards Brother Yan is a little problematic, but it’s all because I love him too much. I’m afraid of losing him. Without him, my life would be meaningless. I would live my life in regret and pain, so I can’t lose him. I can’t!”

Lu Shu raised her head again. “Father, I’m your daughter. You should understand how I feel,” she pleaded. “Please help me. I can’t lose Brother Yan, and I can’t tolerate him being so close to other women, and I can’t tolerate him lying to me for other women. Dad, please help me one more time. I promise that this will be the last time you will deal with that b*tch, Zhao Youlin, just like how you dealt with those women. From now on, I will listen to you obediently and get along well with Brother Yan. I won’t restrict his movements or interfere with his friendships anymore. The two of us will be fine and won’t let you worry about us anymore. Please help me just this once, okay?”

Lu Shu’s pleading caused Lu Xiangtian to waver for a moment, but it was only for a moment.

“No.”

“Why?” Lu Shu cried out in shock. Her face, which had been deliberately disguised for the sake of the puppy act, twisted for a moment.

How could he say no to her? This person had never rejected any of her requests before. Why did he make an exception for that woman? Zhao Youlin... Zhao Youlin... that name again. Both of them. Why did they insist on snatching her things?

Zhao Youlin was already dead. Why would she appear here now? Why was she still entangled with her Brother Yan? She even got involved with Lu Xiangtian. That name... that name was already dead... why did she still linger around like this? Why...
