Chapter 59: Lu Jianshen, Not Biologically Related

Ye Meiping and Jiang Rourou’s crimes weren’t enough for a life sentence, unless they continued their actions. It would be difficult otherwise.

Jiang Xiangxiang, hearing this, felt a little regret. After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head: “Forget it, no need for you to interfere. Your identity is special; if someone finds a weakness, it’ll be troublesome.”

No matter what, as family members, we need to have this awareness.

Jiang Xiangxiang had never imagined that she would become a military wife mid-life, much less experience a life she’d never lived through after time travel.

Well, it’s pretty good.

Lu Jianshen was a little surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he asked: “Do you still have feelings for them, reluctant to let them go?”

Jiang Xiangxiang bristled: “Me? Reluctant? Am I that kind of person?”

It’s a joke. She wasn’t the kind of person to repay kindness with evil.

She simply didn’t want to involve Lu Jianshen, and also felt that handling things herself was more satisfying.

Seeing her determined gaze, with an air of wanting to kill them immediately, Lu Jianshen finally believed her. Even if she had feelings, it was fine; he respected her decision.

Just then, a commotion came from outside.

Jiang Xiangxiang listened carefully; it was a woman, her footsteps hurried, as if she had just come in from outside. Upon entering the courtyard, she started yelling.

Lu Jianshen frowned slightly: “How did she get here?”

Jiang Xiangxiang wondered: “Who is it? Your relative?”

Lu Jianshen sighed: “My aunt. She’s notoriously difficult, a troublemaker. The family shouldn’t have invited her; how did she come here herself?”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiangxiang felt a headache coming on. Images of Ye Meiping and Jiang Rourou flashed in her mind; she was developing PTSD.

After getting rid of two, another one arrives?

She really didn’t want to waste time dealing with one after another. It’s such a waste of time.

Fearing she was scared, Lu Jianshen quickly said: “Don’t worry, I’m here. She won’t bother you.”

Jiang Xiangxiang already heard the yelling outside and asked softly: “Are you sure?”

Even inside the house, she could hear the aunt’s loud voice, which didn’t seem to be subsiding at all. It sounded quite fierce.

Lu Hemei had indeed come to make trouble, and her target was clear: her younger brother. After entering the courtyard, she started yelling at him by name.

“Lu Heping, get out here! What did I tell you? Wasn’t it agreed that my Tingting would marry Lu Jianshen?”

“…”

The voice was quite loud, everyone could hear it clearly, making it a bit awkward.

Jiang Xiangxiang looked at Lu Jianshen with a questioning gaze, full of doubt. She knew he was quite attractive, but she didn’t expect that even his cousin would try to get him.

Lu Jianshen’s face darkened, emphasizing: “I’m not, I didn’t, I don’t know about this. She’s talking nonsense. Mom and Dad never mentioned it.”

Jiang Xiangxiang snorted: “That’s for sure, otherwise, Mom’s attitude towards me wouldn’t be so good. But, my aunt is interesting; she doesn’t seem afraid of our mother at all.”

With Tian Xiu’e’s temper, she would intimidate most people.

Yet, Lu Hemei didn’t seem to care at all.

Lu Jianshen was also a little strange: “That’s true, I haven’t noticed that before.”

If Jiang Xiangxiang hadn’t mentioned it, Lu Jianshen wouldn’t have thought deeply about it. In his memory, it had always been like this.

His mother had a fiery temper towards everyone, but she always seemed different when facing his aunt.

He couldn’t quite explain it.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Xiangxiang worried she had said something wrong, and quickly said: “I was just saying it casually, don’t take it to heart. As long as our mother doesn’t suffer any losses.”

Lu Jianshen paused: “No, something’s fishy about this.”

Jiang Xiangxiang: “…”

Whether there was something fishy or not was hard to say. Her bad luck had struck again.

If the Lu family really had something…

She would be in big trouble.

Before she could finish that thought, the commotion outside started again. She didn’t know what Lu Heping said, but she heard Lu Hemei’s loud voice again.

“Brother and sister, my foot! When you brought Lu Jianshen back, I said he could be raised by you, but he would be my son-in-law in the future! Now, you hid it from me and found him a partner. What does that mean?”

“Brought him back?” Jiang Xiangxiang unconsciously blurted out, then silently slapped her mouth. Why was she so quick to speak?

Why were there so many problems with a simple family reunion?

Lu Jianshen’s face was clearly not good, but he seemed calm and didn’t lose his temper.

At this time, he walked to the door and said in a low voice.

“Lu Jiannan, Lu Jianbei, open the door.”

“…”

This time, Lu Jiannan and Lu Jianbei opened the door without hesitation, standing aside, looking at him weakly, like children who had done something wrong.

After Lu Jianshen went out, he didn’t bother to discipline them, and went straight to Lu Hemei.

Jiang Xiangxiang followed closely behind, feeling a little embarrassed. Although it didn’t have much to do with her, such incidents during a family reunion were unpleasant.

Lu Hemei continued: “Speak! Why aren’t you two saying anything? Are you guilty now? Why didn’t you do anything earlier!”

Lu Heping frowned and stopped her: “Enough, sister! Are you going to keep this up? I thought you were joking at the time, but who knew you were serious! Besides, Jianshen is a person, he can marry whoever he wants, everything depends on his wishes.”

Let alone Lu Jianshen not being interested in Tingting, even if he were, he wouldn’t agree.

With Lu Hemei’s state, they wouldn’t be suitable.

Lu Hemei didn’t expect her brother to say this, and immediately exploded: “What do you mean? Who’s joking? Don’t you know Lu Jianshen isn’t your biological son? He and Tingting have no blood relation!”

Tian Xiu’e angrily said: “Enough, sister! Today is a happy day, do you have to make everyone unhappy?”

Lu Jianshen had already walked over and said coldly: “Who isn’t biologically related? Aunt, please clarify what you mean.”

Hearing his voice, Lu Hemei froze, realizing belatedly that she had said something wrong, and hadn’t considered his presence.

But, since she had already said it, she might as well continue.
