Chapter 7

If Lu Jiangyue was just crying and there was no substantial evidence, then there was solid evidence for what Lu Wanying did this afternoon.

She had indeed wronged Lu Jiangyue, and she was even using the excuse of caring about Lu Jiangyue. What happened at noon hadn’t even passed yet, and she was wronging her again in the evening. She really thought she could bully Lu Jiangyue because her own mother was gone. She was so shameless!

“No, that’s not the case. I didn’t. Everyone listen to me. I…”

“What! Lu Wanying even accused me of sleeping with Brother Yan Chao? How could she do this to me! Brother Yan Chao and I clearly have nothing to do with each other. I’m not her, so why would I climb into someone else’s bed? Wuuuuuu, she’s ruined my reputation. What’s the point of me living? I’d rather die, wuuuuuu.”

Lu Jiangyue interrupted Lu Wanying’s explanation with a look of shock, and burst into tears again. She shook her head in despair and was about to rush over and hit the wall. Everyone quickly pulled her back.

“No, no, no, Jiang Yue, you can’t be so stupid. Don’t worry, we will make the decision for you. Don’t be afraid.”

“Right, right, right. Don’t worry, we won’t stand by and watch your father and Lu Wanying bully you like this! If he dares to do this, he will be punished sooner or later! I don’t think he should be the leader anymore!”

Everyone complained indignantly. Lu Qing had just been appointed as the regimental commander and hadn’t even settled into the position yet. If he really couldn’t tell right from wrong and wrongly accused his own daughter, he would definitely be in big trouble if the news got to the army. He might even lose his official position.

Even though Lu Wanying is the daughter of his deceased comrade-in-arms and can be considered a martyr’s family member, this is not a reason for her to do whatever she wants and bully others!

“Don’t listen to her nonsense. That’s not the case. She brought the man back, stole everything in the house, and even took Wanying…”

“Dad, stop talking!”

Lu Wanying suddenly stamped her feet to stop Lu Qing from speaking. With so many people around, she absolutely could not admit that her innocence had been ruined, otherwise her life would be ruined.

“It’s not what Jiang Yue said at all. I didn’t wrongly accuse her at noon. It was a misunderstanding. I have explained it clearly, but Jiang Yue thought I did it on purpose, so she beat me up and even knocked me unconscious. When I woke up, everything in the house was gone. She had taken everything away. This is what happened. Please believe me, I won’t lie.”

“Sister Jiang Yue must be lying because she’s scared. Sister Jiang Yue, please stop talking. Your nonsense will hurt me and Dad. Dad finally got a promotion. Do you want to embarrass Dad and make him lose his position as group leader because of this?”

The more urgent the moment, the calmer Lu Wanying became. She took a deep breath and stopped being led by Lu Jiangyue. Instead, she chose to tell the truth about most things, then looked at Lu Jiangyue seriously and pitifully, threatening her with Lu Qing’s future.

Lu Jiangyue actually longed for Lu Qing’s approval, and naturally, she didn’t want him to be punished. In the past, whenever she showed Lu Qing that he loved her, Lu Jiangyue would burst into tears. But no matter how angry she was, she would still hesitantly approach him, hoping to get Lu Qing’s praise.

This time, she bet that Lu Jiangyue would be the same as before, or at least consider Lu Qing a little more. After all, now that her mother was dead and Lu Qing was all alone, she should rely on him even more.

Although Lu Jiangyue has changed a lot today and can now fight and speak eloquently, personality can change, but human emotions are the hardest to change.

“I don’t want to talk anymore. Grandma Wang, did you hear me? She wants to push everything onto me. Whenever my dad is criticized, she puts the blame on me. But what have I done wrong? I just don’t want to be a thief. I don’t want to be wrongly accused and have a girl’s innocence ruined. Sob.”

Lu Jiangyue said nothing and hugged Grandma Wang and cried loudly, as if she was extremely sad.

She is not bad looking, with an oval face, round almond eyes and a small, delicate nose. She looks very cute and blessed. She used to be timid, but today she let go and cried and made a fuss, which made her even more lovable and more pitiable.

Grandma Wang glared at him, put her hands on her hips and said “Pah”.

“Bah, you’re not fit to be a father! You should reflect on yourself! If you really say that Jiang Yue did it, then show us the evidence! You have to have evidence for everything you do, otherwise it’s bullshit!”

“Jiang Yue, come home with me and sleep for the night. Let’s go, don’t bother with them. None of them are good people! Grandma will take care of it for you!”

Grandma Wang’s son is one rank higher than Lu Qing. If Grandma Wang gets angry and asks her son to complain to the army, Lu Qing will definitely be in trouble. If he can’t handle this matter well, not only will his career end here, he may even take a step back.

Lu Qing was simply speechless. He stared at Lu Jiangyue with a dark face, but couldn’t find any way to interrupt.

“Okay, thank you, Grandma Wang. You’re such a nice person. It would have been great if my mom had asked someone to take charge of things instead of keeping everything to herself. Waa …

Lu Jiangyue wiped her tears and followed Grandma Wang step by step.

“Oh, dear, don’t cry. Your mother will be sad if she knows.”

Grandma Wang took Lu Jiangyue’s hand, and the two walked away affectionately.

The rest of the onlookers glanced at Lu Qing and Lu Wanying with subtle click of the tongue, then left and followed them to Grandma Wang’s house. They argued with Lu Qing and Lu Wanying at Grandma Wang’s house until after ten o’clock, and then reluctantly went back to take a shower and sleep. Many people came to watch the fun with their bowls in hand, and ate while cursing.

This father and daughter have aroused public outrage.

Lu Wanying had never imagined that things would turn out like this. It was Lu Jiangyue who had hit her, but how could she have wronged her? She had even taken all the valuables from the house! And she had ruined her reputation! Now everyone thought she was being bullied by a man. How could she ever go out and see people again?

Lu Qing couldn’t understand why Lu Jiangyue suddenly gave him the feeling that she had become a different person. Was it really because she was stimulated by the death of her biological mother?

Lu Qing felt a little guilty towards Lu Jiangyue, but when he saw Lu Wanying sitting alone with her head down, he quickly put aside the guilt and comforted her.

“Wanying, don’t be afraid. Since the matter has become so serious, I don’t need to investigate secretly anymore. I will apply for a search of the family compound and strictly check everyone who has entered and exited the family compound these days. I will definitely give you an explanation. Even if it was my own daughter who did it, I will not let her go.

Okay, you don’t have to plead for her. I know you’re kind, but if I don’t produce evidence, our reputation in the family compound will be ruined. We’ll become criminals. Let’s eat first. I’ll go cook.”

Lu Qing stopped Lu Wanying and didn’t give her another chance to beg for mercy. He got up and went to cook. They had been making a fuss all day and hadn’t even had dinner. It would be better for them to eat and have a sleep first. If there was anything, they could solve it tomorrow.

Although Lu Qing felt that the current situation was quite embarrassing, it was no big deal. Once he caught the person, it would be clear who did it, and he wouldn’t have to bother making excuses.
