"you guess."

Shen Kuo had a frivolous and elegant smile on his lips and looked at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan avoided his gaze and her heartbeat skipped a beat. Although she knew that he deliberately said this to anger Lu Zhen, but...

No girl can resist Shen Kuo's direct gaze

His unabashedly fiery eyes completely angered Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen rushed over and punched Shen Kuo: "How dare you try to trick her! I will kill you!"

Shen Kuo quickly took a step back and turned his head to avoid it.

Lu Zhen's eyes were red, like an angry lion.

He had evil intentions towards Lu Yan, which made Lu Zhen extremely irritable, and Liang Ting and the others could hardly hold him back.

Fortunately, the police arrived in time and pulled Lu Zhen away. Seeing that he was taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, they simply put him into the police car.

Lu Zhen roared angrily: "He was the one who set the fire! Why are you arresting me! Arrest him!"

Of course, the police cannot arrest people without evidence, but Lu Zhen was caught picking a fight and resisting arrest, so the police immediately handcuffed him.

When Lu Yan saw Lu Zhen being arrested, she was extremely anxious and wanted to get into the police car with him, but Liang Ting stopped her in time.

In the rush, Lu Yan turned around, and Shen Kuo looked at her from a distance. He straightened his collar with one hand, and still had a faint smile on his lips.

Many times, Lu Yan could feel that the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two boys was actually not simple.

Lu Zhen has a straightforward temperament, and the reason why he hates Shen Kuo may be very simple, just because he can't stand it.

But Shen Kuo has a very small heart, and love and hate are both extravagant to him.

Lu Yan didn't know what unforgivable thing Lu Zhen had done that made him endure and lie dormant for more than ten years, planning this revenge.

If it were just because of these trivial things when I was young, it seemed too simple to brew into deep-seated hatred.

That night, Lu Jian happened to be on a business trip and was in the United States. Lu Zhen was picked up from the police station by her stepmother Shi Xuexian.

The mansion was brightly lit, Shi Xuexian was sitting on the sofa with a straight face, Lu Zhen was standing in the middle of the hall, and Lu Yan was standing behind him, looking at Shi Xuexian coquettishly.

In the absence of Lu Jian, the mistress Shi Xuexian has the final say in this family. Seeing Shi Xuexian's menacing appearance, Lu Yan may not let them go easily.

"Kill people and set fires, Lu Zhen, you are so capable!"

Shi Xuexian completely lost her gentle and polite manner in front of Lu Jian. She looked at Lu Zhen coldly with a straight face: "The compensation is small. If someone is killed or injured, you will go to jail."

Lu Yan poked her head out from behind her father and argued: "The police have said that someone deliberately set the fire on fire, but it has nothing to do with Lu Zhen, so don't talk nonsense."

Shi Ya sat next to her mother, held her hand, and added more jealously: "It happened in the place he rented, and he must take full responsibility! Mom, since Father Lu asked you to manage the house, you can't do this."

No matter what, he must be taught a lesson!"

Lu Yan rolled her eyes, "Daddy Lu, Shi Ya must feel too good about herself, Lu Jian has never recognized her."

Shi Xuexian pressed her daughter's hand, probably to reassure her.

"Lu Zhen, I usually never say a word when you act recklessly outside, but you caused such a big trouble today, and as your stepmother, I can't ignore it."

Shi Xuexian stood up, walked to Lu Zhen, and cleared her throat: "According to the family rules set by your father, I am going to punish you."

"it's up to you."

After making trouble all day long, Lu Zhen was very sleepy. He yawned and said, "If you want to be punished, punish me quickly. I'm going to sleep."

Shi Xuexian asked the servant to bring a stick. Lu Yan was shocked when she saw the stick as thick as her thumb.

In her era, parents generally did not punish their children corporally, let alone prepare such fierce sticks, but in the era when her father grew up, it was commonplace for children to be beaten.

Shi Ya glanced at Lu Yan who was hiding behind Lu Zhen, and said happily: "Mom, Lu Yan was also involved in this matter. She was also in the song and dance hall at the time. If you want to be punished, both of you should be punished together!"

Shi Xuexian asked Lu Yan: "Are you there too?"

"Yes, so what!" Lu Yan said bravely: "This is none of our business. If Lu Zhen hadn't rushed into the fire scene and evacuated it in time, someone would have been injured. You can't just hit people indiscriminately!

"

Shi Xuexian smiled lightly: "Since you also participated, then you will be punished together with your brother."

Lu Zhen protected Lu Yan behind him, glanced at Shi Xuexian coldly, and said in a low voice: "How dare you."

"The elders punish the younger ones. Even if your father comes back, you can't blame me!"

Of course Shi Xuexian would not do it herself. She handed the stick to a male servant beside her and ordered: "Hit me!"

The manservant was still a little hesitant and didn't dare to take action. Mainly if Lu Jian opened his mouth, he would definitely hit her without hesitation, but Shi Xuexian... to put it bluntly, she was just a stepmother.

Furthermore, forget it about Lu Zhen. This second lady is Lu Jian’s treasure. If she breaks it, that’s fine.

When Shi Xuexian saw that she couldn't control the servants, she was furious and said loudly: "I'll take care of any problems. If you don't do anything, get out of here tonight!"

Seeing that his job was not guaranteed, the manservant finally walked up to Lu Zhen with a stick, raised his hand and dropped the stick, hitting Lu Zhen on the arm.

There was a muffled sound, and a clear red line appeared on Lu Zhen's arm.

He bit his lower lip, shrank his body, and felt that his whole arm was numb.

Seeing that Shi Xuexian was serious, Lu Yan said angrily: "Even grandpa would not attack Lu Zhen easily! You hit him with a stick as soon as you come, that's too much!"

Shi Xuexian's eyes trembled slightly because of her extreme hatred, and she said in a deep voice: "Hit this little girl too!"

Lu Zhen, with quick eyes and hands, protected Lu Yan in his arms, and another stick fell firmly on his back.

He groaned, obviously in pain.

Lu Yan looked at Shi Xuexian fiercely and said, "I won't let you go!"

Shi Ya said in a sharp tone: "Mom, hit her quickly! Hit her in the face!"

Lu Zhen hugged the petite Lu Yan, and his entire body became her protective wall, preventing her from being hurt at all.

However, at this moment, two Mercedes-Benz luxury cars drove through the garden gate and honked twice.

Shi Xuexian asked in surprise: "Who is coming?"

The servant hurried into the room and said in a panic: "It's madam! Madam is back!"

"What madam!" Shi Xuexian said coldly: "I am the madam of this mansion!"

As soon as she finished speaking, several bodyguards in suits entered the room one after another. The leader stepped forward and removed the stick from the servant's hand, and threw it heavily on the ground.

Lu Yan looked towards the door curiously, and saw a straight-haired woman wearing a small suit and a one-line skirt walking in. The woman was about a little younger than Shi Xuexian, and her dress was quite smart and simple.

Compared with her temperament, Shi Xuexian, a housewife who only plays mahjong on weekdays, is far inferior.

Lu Yan stared at her delicately made-up face for a long time, and suddenly remembered, wasn't this her grandma Meng Zhining!

Although Lu Zhen and Lu Jian had a bad relationship, this kind grandmother often came home to play with her when she was a child. She always brought her a lot of snacks and new dresses, which hurt her!

Grandma is the only daughter of the Meng Group. She has been talented and capable since she was a child. She inherited the Meng Real Estate at a young age and is now the chairman of the Meng Group.

Perhaps it was precisely because she was so capable and had such a strong personality that she was incompatible with Lu Jian, who was equally talented, and that made life difficult for her. She divorced early and lived separately.

In those years, Lu Zhen's career was able to grow smoothly thanks to her grandmother's help.

When Meng Zhining walked into the room, all the servants in the room fell silent at the same time. The housekeeper came over with tea and respectfully called her madam.

Shi Xuexian's expression suddenly changed.

The word "ma'am" hit her hard in the face.

In any case, Meng Zhining is the mother of the two children of the Lu family. Even if she is divorced, she is still the official wife of this mansion.

"Mom." Lu Zhen seemed to be deflated, and no longer looked as confident as he had just now.

He didn't care what Shi Xuexian thought of him, but he did care about Meng Zhining's opinion on the fire.

"My Yanyan." Meng Zhining saw the little girl in Lu Zhen's arms and said softly: "Come here and give mom a hug."

Lu Yan hurried over and hugged Meng Zhining.

"Milk...no, mom..."

"Mom, I miss you so much. How have you been in these years? Have you suffered outside?"

Lu Yan didn't care about gossiping with her grandma. She just looked at Shi Xuexian angrily and complained repeatedly: "Mom, she wants to beat me and my brother!"

Meng Zhining had just returned from the United States. When he heard that his daughter had been found, he rushed to Lu Zhai without stopping, but he did not expect to encounter this scene as soon as he entered the door.

She stood up straight, walked to Shi Xuexian, and asked coldly: "You beat my children?"

Shi Xuexian was flustered when she saw Meng Zhining. Her family background was not good, her education was not high, and she had little knowledge. Facing this noble lady, her aura was naturally much lower.

"As Lu, the mistress of the Lu family, I should discipline my children harshly if they don't do something right. What's wrong with me?"

Shi Xuexian can only increase her volume to build momentum.

Meng Zhining glanced at Shi Ya: "You can discipline your own children, but it's not your turn to discipline my children!"

Of course, Shi Xuexian was not a vegetarian, so she immediately said: "I am Lu Jian's wife and the mistress of this family. Do I need your consent as an outsider to discipline my husband's children in my own home?"

"Are you the mistress of this family?"

Meng Zhining sneered and said: "There is one thing I think you need to understand. This house is my dowry, Meng Zhining's name is also written on the real estate certificate. When I divorced Lu Jian, I took this house
