Chapter 52 – She didn’t dare to move (1)

With the previous Lu Beifan serving as an example, it was obvious to Mother Lu why Lu Shaoren had brought Lin Zhan back and introduced him in such a manner.

It hadn’t been enough for him to bring back one illegitimate child. After the first one had been kicked out only a few days ago, he was bringing another one back. It was easy to see that Lu Shaoren had been quite the Casanova during the past years!

Mother Lu slammed her bowl and chopsticks down on the table. The clamoring sound from the porcelain dishware clearly expressed her anger. She coldly looked at Lu Shaoren and directly asked, “What do you mean by this?”

Lu Shaoren had Lin Zhan sit down in the spot that Lu Beifan used to previously sit in, then he sat down directly across the table from Mother Lu and ordered a servant to bring out two more sets of dinnerware.

“Look at yourself! Look at how you’re behaving in front of the children!”

“How am I behaving?” Mother Lu sneered. “Why don’t you look at yourself?”

This fire had been smoldering in Mother Lu’s heart for over twenty years.

Since she had married into the Lu family, this fire had never gone out.

Marriage for business reasons never had much genuine feelings in them. Mother Lu understood the need for them and how to play along. She wouldn’t feel jealous, much less let herself be wronged, but everything changed when Mother Lu’s maiden family’s business went into decline.

Mother Lu’s surname is Lin. Her full name is Lin Mei.

The Lin family had once been on equal standing with the Lu family. However, in the second year of her marriage, the Lin family’s older master died. His descendants were disappointments that squandered their inheritance. The formerly large and wealth Lin family fell apart and could no longer be compared to its former self.

In a family like the Lu family, a woman could only have secure standing through two ways: a husband’s love or a maiden family that couldn’t be underestimated.

Lin Mei didn’t have her husband’s love or her maiden family’s support. She didn’t have any skills in a specialized area of her own either. Anyone would feel fazed by having no sense of security or stable foundation to stand on.

Fortunately, she had gotten pregnant early. In those years before Lu Beichuan had grown up, she passed her days cautiously. She knew about Lu Shaoren’s affairs, but there was nothing she could do about them. It was fortunate that Old Master Lu valued propriety. Although Lu Shaoren could fool around outside, he wouldn’t dare to bring any of his mistresses or illegitimate children back home!

Laten on, when Lu Beichuan had grown into an outstandingly capable adult and grasped the power in the Lu family, she had felt exuberant.

Right now, not only had her son woke up from his coma, he had also regained his ability to walk. So, why would Mother Lu continue to stifle the fire in her heart?

“First, it’s a Lu Beifan, then it’s a Lin Zhan. Do you think it’s okay to bring just anyone home? Is this home a garbage dump or a recycling center?”

Mother Lu had previously never disparage Lu Shaoren in front of outsiders, but she had seen things clearly now. Lu Shaoren was selfish and self-centered. He had done so many reprehensible things. Why should she care about giving him face?

Lu Shaoren hadn’t expected that his wife would say these embarrassing words in front of so many people. “Lin Mei! Watch yourself in front of the younger generation!”

“Watch myself? What about you then? Does dad know that you brought him back here?”
