Chapter 71 -71: The Husband Who Can’t Tolerate Anymore Turns into a Fiend to Protect His Wife, Kicks Wen Jingya Out of the House

Wen Jingya couldn’t stand being criticized like this.

She felt extremely wronged and had no face to stay here any longer.

“Yaya~” Seeing her about to leave, Yu Qing hurriedly called out to her.

But Wen Jingya didn’t even turn her head and left as if fleeing.

Yu Qing was at a loss whether to stay or go.

Some guests found some spoiled vegetable leaves from who knows where and unceremoniously started throwing them at Zhang Yanyan.

Zhang Yanyan wanted to leave, but a group of people stopped her and refused to let her go.

“Yanyan…” Yu Qing frowned, biting her lip.

She was quickly squeezed out of the crowd.

She nearly fell in her embarrassment but luckily, someone steadied her.

When she looked up, it was the handsome guy she had fallen for at first sight.

“She brought it upon herself. There are some friends you shouldn’t make,” Song Xiao said with a serious face.

He usually had a cynical attitude, but today he was unexpectedly serious.

Seeing Jiang Man and Lu Xingzhou leave, he lost interest in staying at the banquet any longer.

“Take care of yourself,” he said, then stepped away to leave.

…

In the parking lot at the harbor.

After Jiang Man got into the car, Lu Xingzhou followed suit.

Both maintained a silent understanding.

Not until the car slowly started moving did Lu Xingzhou speak lightly, “How did you know that guy definitely caught the fight between you and Zhang Yanyan on video?”

“I saw him filming,” Jiang Man scoffed. “I’ve been sharp since I was little, my senses keener than the average person. I can sense who is watching or noticing me.”

“When I walked into the banquet, I noticed that sleazy man right away. Believe it or not, Mr. Lu, people give off different vibes.”

“Oh?” Lu Xingzhou heard such a unique opinion for the first time.

“Some people’s vibes attract each other, some repel. I felt repelled by that guy the instant I saw him, so I kept an eye on him for a while. Others were also taking photos and videos, but for social media updates, that guy wasn’t. His gaze was wrong; when he held up the phone, his eyes were fixated.”

“What else was in his phone gallery?” Lu Xingzhou thought of the officer’s words before leaving.

Jiang Man shrugged her shoulders. “What else? Some girls’ nude photos. People like him should be chemically castrated!”

Lu Xingzhou felt bitter thinking about the man secretly filming Jiang Man, staring at her chest and legs.

“He indeed deserves to die!” he said coldly.

He meant those words.

Although the man didn’t physically harass Jiang Man, he had violated her mentally, and that warranted a price to pay!

“The officer said his album was empty, right? How did you recover those photos and videos?” Lu Xingzhou asked casually.

It wasn’t hard to retrieve deleted items from a phone, and with Jiang Man’s intelligence, handling such electronic devices was a piece of cake.

Sure enough, Jiang Man’s expression was nonchalant as she leaned back in the seat and closed her eyes. “Simple operation. I can teach Mr. Lu later.”

Lu Xingzhou nodded, his gaze lingering on the girl’s cool profile. “Others take advantage of you, and you’re so calm about it.”

It’s like the emperor is not in a hurry but the eunuch is. Anyway, he was quite angry.

“With the evidence on that guy’s phone, he’ll be in prison for a while. If they find more crimes, up to ten years, he can’t escape.”

“As for that woman, she’s not in cahoots with the guy, probably instigated by Wen Jingya.” Saying this, Jiang Man lazily lifted her eyelids. “I’ve said it before, if Wen Jingya sees me as her rival, I won’t go easy on her.”

Lu Xingzhou remained silent upon hearing this.

If it was really Wen Jingya who had troubled Jiang Man, then he must personally handle the matter.

…

The car continued smoothly on its way.

Jiang Man took a short rest in the car, and when she woke up, she found tall plane trees lining both sides of the road.

An avenue of plane trees had a poetic and picturesque feel.

“Are we going to the old mansion?” she asked, surprised, turning her head to glance at Lu Xingzhou.

Lu Xingzhou was currently busy with official affairs, a laptop resting on his thighs.

He uttered a ‘hmm’ and then continued with his work.

Jiang Man decided not to ask any further.

When the car arrived at the old mansion, Lu Xingzhou first took Jiang Man back to their room to rest.

It was not until dinnertime that he and Jiang Man appeared together.

In the dining room, the elder Mrs. Lu was in a very good mood, and she hurriedly waved at Jiang Man, signaling her to sit next to her.

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhou sat down next to Jiang Man.

“Why did you two come over today?” asked the elder Mrs. Lu with a smile.

“Came to handle some matters,” Lu Xingzhou said seriously, tapping his fingers on the dark wood and blue-and-white porcelain dining table.

His fingers were well-defined, and he tapped in a rhythmic manner.

But each tap carried an undercurrent of restlessness.

“What happened?” Despite her age, the elder Mrs. Lu was by no means confused.

Lu Xingzhou said nothing, his dark eyes fixed intently on the courtyard outside the dining room.

It was only when Wen Jingya, supporting Meng Lian, appeared that subtle ripples finally stirred in his icy gaze.

Wen Jingya kept her head down, gripping Meng Lian’s arm tightly, walking very slowly.

She had been summoned back to the old mansion at short notice, told that the young master had come and wanted to have dinner with the whole family that evening.

Fearing that Lu Xingzhou had come because of what happened at noon, she immediately sought out Meng Lian upon returning to the old mansion.

Meng Lian patted her hand, gently comforting her, “It’s nothing.”

Wen Jingya then felt somewhat relieved.

But as soon as she stepped into the dining room, Lu Xingzhou set down the blue-and-white teacup he had been drinking from heavily onto the table.

With a loud bang, the entire family trembled.

“Wen Jingya, I have warned you to not provoke Manman again. Do you think I’m not worth considering because you have your second aunt backing you, or do you think I’m good-tempered and can keep indulging you over and over again?”

Lu Xingzhou cut straight to the point.

At these words, the whole family fell silent.

Even Jiang Man was greatly shocked.

Was Lu Xingzhou confronting Wen Jingya publicly for her sake?

So directly?

“Brother Xingzhou, I’ve been wronged… Zhang Yanyan upset my sister-in-law, what does that have to do with me? At Hu’s Hot Pot that time, it was Zhang Yanyan who was domineering, slapping the store employee at the slightest disagreement, and as for what happened on the cruise ship today, I knew even less!”

Wen Jingya was extremely aggrieved, her delicate little face with eyes red, looking as if she was on the verge of tears.

“Still making excuses?” Lu Xingzhou’s eyes emitted a chilling frost, and his voice was even colder.

“Do you think Zhao Huai is a pushover? I had him handle the aftermath, do you really think he couldn’t find anything out?”

Although Lu Xingzhou was seated, he exuded more presence than everyone else standing.

The coldness at his brow was unmistakable, and he was running out of patience.

His words scared Wen Jingya, her heart floundering.

But she was the kind of person who would never compromise until she faced certain death.

“Brother Xingzhou, I’m not making excuses…” she continued her pretense, the tears inevitably falling.

Lu Xingzhou gave her pitiful appearance a glance, his heart filled with extreme disgust: “Wen Jingya, the Lu Family can no longer tolerate you.”

Wen Jingya was stunned, almost biting her tongue in agitation, incredulous: “…Brother Xingzhou… what do you mean? Are you… trying to drive me away?”
