Rebirth: The Fake Young Lady Is A Real Young Lady Novel - Chapter 201

201 The Two Families Meet

Lu De and Shen Hui acted quickly. Before Shen Xi had even reached home, the two of them had already brought their men to the door of the Shen family’s dilapidated house.

When Lu De saw the dilapidated house, he was furious. Even though he knew Lu Shan would not have a good life with Shen Yan, seeing it with his own eyes struck home the reality of his daughter’s situation.

Lu Shan was his little princess, one he doted on with all his heart. How could Shen Yan make his daughter suffer like this? A fire of righteous fury roared to life. As soon as he saw Shen Hui arrive, he rushed over, shouting, “You old thing, look at what kind of son you’ve raised. He can’t even take care of his wife and child. What a disgrace!”

How could Shen Hui tolerate being scolded like this? He immediately retorted, seething with rage despite the forced smile he wore, “Ah! What a good daughter you’ve raised! She charmed my son, twisting him around her pinky. Did you know? He refused to return home because of her. Hah! What a good daughter you’ve raised!”

!!
“Rubbish! My daughter is innocent. She was tricked away by your son. He’s a plague on society,” Lu De roared.

Shen Hui’s eyes burned with anger. “Don’t you start! You’re so shameless. How dare you go back on your word to see Xixi on your own? Your Lu family is a group of despicable people who can’t even honor the basics of a gentleman’s agreement.”

Lu De was beside himself in a fury and laughed, “I did no such thing. It’s your Shen family that is full of blockheads. You can’t blame others for not having a brain.”

“You’re just twisting words to fit your logic. You’re shameless!”

“You’re no smarter than a pig!”

…

Just as their subordinates considered whether they should intervene, Shen Xi arrived with Zheng Huai and Lu Lin in tow.

Lu Shan and Shen Yan, who had received Shen Xi’s message, also rushed home.

“Dad!” Lu Shan’s eyes turned red when she saw her father. She could not help but call out to him.

Even though more than a decade had passed, Lu De could still recognize his daughter’s voice at once. He immediately turned to look at Lu Shan.

However, the sight of Lu Shan reminded Lu De how she had abandoned him all those years ago, and he stopped in his tracks, snorting coldly.

Lu De turned to look at Shen Xi, and the coldness on display vanished. With a kind smile, he pulled Shen Xi into the house and said, “Grandpa’s Xixi is the best. Don’t be like your mother. She was charmed by an awful man.”

Not to be outdone, Shen Hui stepped forward, addressing Shen Xi, “Xixi, I’m your Grandpa. Don’t be fooled by cunning old men like him.”

Lu Shan looked at her father and Shen Hui, escorting Shen Xi into the house in disappointment.

Shen Yan held Lu Shan in his arms, feeling bad. He said guiltily, “Baby, I’m sorry, it’s…”

Lu Shan immediately covered Shen Yan’s mouth with her hand. She knew what he wanted to say, but things were not as black and white as he believed. There was no right or wrong.

Shen Yan thought about how lucky he was to meet a wife who understood him, and his heart warmed. He gave Lu Shan’s hand a quick peck, seemingly oblivious to the others around.

As for Shen Xi, who was held hostage by two passionate and jealous old men, she turned around and saw their shared moment of intimacy. She instantly gave up on the idea of asking her parents for help. After all, in their love, she was just a third wheel.

Secretary Zhao covered his hand and coughed awkwardly. She had wanted to speak with Lu Shan. If nothing else, Lu Shan was the heiress of the Lu family. It was not appropriate for someone of her standing to walk in front of her. Yet, she had not expected to witness such a public display of affection. Indeed, Young Master Shen was still as reckless as he had been a decade ago.

Lu Shan blushed when she heard the cough. She lightly punched Shen Yan’s shoulder and said, “I hate you…” The fact she did not mean it was obvious from the smile that bloomed afterward as she led the way into their house.

On the other hand, Shen Yan didn’t feel embarrassed. When you love someone with all your heart, you want to kiss, hug, and hold them all the time.

The air outside was filled with the sweet scent of love, but inside the house, it was so heavy that one could hear a pin drop.

Zheng Huai and Lu Lin, who had followed along, hid in a corner, afraid that the two old men would clash, turning them into collateral damage.

“Xixi is my daughter’s child. She must come back to the Lu family with me. There’s no room for discussion.” Lu De regarded Shen Hui with a look that brooked no room for argument.

“What a joke. Shen Xi’s surname is Shen, and she’s a member of our Shen family. She can only return to the Shen family. I’m going to bring her back today!” Shen Hui’s tone was also quite unyielding.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shan’s expression changed, and tears fell. She hugged Shen Xi while sobbing, “No, Xixi should stay with me. It wasn’t easy for me to get her back. None of you can take her away from me.”
