Chapter 473 - 473 444 The Ins and Outs_2

473: Chapter 444: The Ins and Outs_2 473: Chapter 444: The Ins and Outs_2 So when people in the Lu family later said Lu Cangsheng was a great traitor, she didn’t understand.

She was just too young then, knowing nothing, and when others were calling Lu Cangsheng a great traitor, she simply echoed them and even declared she would never like this uncle anymore.

It was only when she grew up and gained her own judgement that she began to sense vaguely that there must be some hidden truths to Lu Cangsheng’s betrayal of the family.

She couldn’t believe that someone so kind could commit such a betrayal against his family.

Therefore, she didn’t harbor much hostility towards Lu Cangsheng.

So upon discovering that Lu Chuan was indeed the son of Lu Cangsheng, she did not inform the family, and even abandoned the idea of killing Lu Chuan.

The reason she came to attack Lu Chuan stealthily was to see what sort of character the son of the man she once viewed as incredibly good was capable of, whether he could live up to even a fraction of his father’s grace, and if as an elder cousin, she could properly discipline this younger brother, making him realize the terror of the Lu family and that it would be unwise for him to oppose the Lu family all by himself.

What she didn’t expect was to be counter-killed by Lu Chuan.

This was quite a blow to her pride, and at that moment, she even uttered that Lu Chuan might as well kill her.

After listening to Lu Qingshuang’s explanation, Lu Chuan then realized he had misunderstood her.

He had been monitoring Lu Qingshuang with his psychic ability the entire time and could confirm that she wasn’t lying.

He never imagined that there were still people in the Lu family willing to stand by his father’s side.

At this point, Lu Chuan had been holding onto Lu Qingshuang’s clothes, ready to rip them apart at any moment, for quite some time.

Learning that Lu Qingshuang harbored no ill will towards him, he awkwardly let go of her clothes.

“Oh…

so that’s how it is.

It looks like I did misunderstand you, sorry about that.”

Lu Qingshuang’s hands were pinned to the ground and she could not move.

A blush spread across her face as she said irritably to Lu Chuan, “Then why don’t you get off me already!

My legs have gone numb from you sitting on them!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll get up right now.” Lu Chuan quickly got to his feet, also retracting the force pinning Lu Qingshuang’s hands.

Lu Qingshuang sat up from the ground, rubbing her wrists while casting a resentful look at Lu Chuan, saying, “Compared to your father, you really fall short.

I can’t understand how such a gentleman could have a son as rude, annoying, and shameless as you!”

It’s no exaggeration to say that despite her young age of under ten, when Lu Cangsheng was still with the Lu family, when she understood nothing at all, the kindness he showed her directly influenced her standards for choosing a partner later in life.

She had a few boyfriends who all possessed traits somewhat reminiscent of Lu Cangsheng’s demeanor.

She originally thought Lu Chuan might inherit some of Lu Cangsheng’s fine genes, but now it seemed she had expected too much.

This guy wasn’t handsome at all, far from a gentleman, and even dared to tease his own older cousin.

Truly, he was a complete scoundrel!

Lu Chuan heard what Lu Qingshuang said and dared not argue.

After all, she was his older cousin, and he had almost taken liberties with her, which was truly embarrassing, so he could only let her upbraid him.

But in his heart, he still silently retorted, “How do you know my dad isn’t a shameless man?

In this lineage passed down from my grandfather, it’s impossible not to be lecherous; you were just deceived by my dad’s hypocritical exterior!”

Huh…

something’s not right.

When my dad was still with the Lu family, she was only a few years old, wasn’t she?

Could it be that my dad’s charm was that strong?

He stopped dwelling on it and, with an apologetic smile, said, “Um, Cousin, I’m really sorry, I didn’t know your identity when I treated you so rudely, and thanks for not revealing my identity to the people at the Lu family.”

Lu Qingshuang scoffed and said, “After I told you I’m your cousin, didn’t you still not let go of me?

At that time, I even thought you got more excited knowing who I was!”

Lu Chuan gave an awkward smile and said, “How could that be?

If I really had those thoughts, wouldn’t that make me a beast?

Let’s not talk about this.

Cousin, since you don’t plan on disclosing my identity to the Lu family, how do you intend to explain yourself to them?”

Lu Qingshuang rolled her eyes at Lu Chuan and then said earnestly, “First, let me ask you, do you still intend to fight against the Lu family and avenge your mother?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan’s expression turned serious and he said, “That’s right!”

Lu Qingshuang said, “You should give that up.

Although your strength is not bad, when compared to the true masters of the Lu family, you’re still too weak.

And the Lu family has become a top family in the Kunlun Domain not without good reason.

The foundation they have is beyond your imagination.

Trying to compete with the Lu family is like an ant trying to stop a chariot.”

“Abandon the idea of revenge.

Go into the secular world, live under a false name, and don’t get involved with the Lu family anymore.

After I return, I’ll inform the family that you’ve been killed by me.

They will no longer pursue this matter.

With your strength, you can lead a comfortable life in the secular world.

This is the best choice for you.”

Lu Chuan turned his back, stood with his hands behind him, and said in a determined tone, “That’s impossible!”

“No matter how powerful the Lu family is or how many experts they have, I must avenge my mother.

I will also prove to all of you that my father was not a traitorous scoundrel.

There must have been another reason for his departure from the Lu family!”

Lu Qingshuang looked at Lu Chuan’s resolute figure and for a moment, she felt a sense of uncertainty.

It seemed to her that Lu Chuan bore a slight resemblance to Lu Cangsheng.

Feeling that it was impossible to change Lu Chuan’s mind with just a few words, she didn’t waste any more effort, stood up from the ground, and said, “Forget it, it’s useless trying to persuade someone stubborn like you.

Maybe you’ll understand after you hit a dead end, but by then, it’ll be too late for regrets.”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “If I were someone who would regret things so easily, I wouldn’t have come this far.”

Lu Qingshuang sighed, not wanting to continue this topic, and changed the subject, “Alright, let’s not talk about this.

Let’s settle the score for your harassment of your cousin.

You almost dishonored me before, which is a heinous act.

As punishment, you have to help me with one thing, and if you can carry it out, I can still report to the family that you are dead, so that you won’t be hunted by the Lu family experts anymore.”

Lu Chuan immediately responded, “That’s unfair.

I didn’t know you were my cousin at that time, and you wouldn’t tell me your identity, so I was trying to scare you with that method.”

Lu Qingshuang snapped back immediately by giving Lu Chuan a flick on the forehead, and said discontentedly, “So you’re saying this is my fault, is that it?”

Lu Chuan could only hold his head and said, “Alright, alright, tell me what it is first.

I won’t do anything that crosses the line.”
