Chapter 585: Chapter 585 Ruined in an Instant

Thinking back, that was the scent of the vanishing cream Cui Yueyue had applied. At the time, suspicious, he had even checked the other items in the safe again and found nothing amiss. As for the jewelry box, he indeed opened it and, seeing it full, his suspicions dissipated.

Geng Mingli landed a punch on Cui Yueyue’s back with such force that it was likely intended to be fatal, causing Cui Yueyue to fall flat on the ground, and she cried out with an ’ow’.

While hitting her, Geng Mingli also scolded, "You must think that you’ve had it too good lately and forgotten the days when you were too hungry to eat. Do you want your brother to end up not being able to get married, is that it? How did I give birth to something as foolish as you?"

Lu Xinyi understood what Geng Mingli was trying to do, but since it was done, consequences had to be faced. He, Lu Xinyi, certainly did not want to continue supporting someone who betrayed their own family.

So he fetched paper and pen and made Cui Yueyue write down everything she had done in duplicate, and had her sign and put her thumbprint on them. He also had Cui Jianhua and Geng Mingli, the mother and son, sign and put their thumbprints on the documents.

He locked one copy in the safe and kept the other with him. He said to the three of them, "If you don’t want to lose face, pretend nothing ever happened. As for Jianhua’s wedding house, find your own way to rent one outside.

Since Yixuan didn’t stay here when he got married, Jianhua will do the same. That’ll prevent people around the courtyard from saying I mistreat my own son. I hope you take this to heart."

After saying that, he asked them to leave, locked the study door, and walked away.

Geng Mingli, looking at the locked study door, hit Cui Yueyue again and again with regret that she was not made of sturdier stuff. All her efforts since entering the Lu Family had been destroyed in one fell swoop.

Her son was getting married in just a few days, and at this critical moment, this bringer of misfortune had caused such a big problem, making them lose face in this household.

In the future, she may marry off and not return to the Lu Family, but what about herself and her son? The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and the harder she hit. Cui Jianhua’s head was buzzing, also infuriated by his sister’s actions.

He had been twelve years old when he entered the Lu Family and had been extremely careful for the last eight years, not daring to harbour any inappropriate thoughts. And now, all their efforts were wasted.

Originally, the housing unit he got from his workplace was the closest to the public toilet, and the smell was unbearable. His fiancée, Guo Lijing, had been very dissatisfied after just one visit and then fell and injured her leg a few days later. The doctor said it would take a hundred days to heal, so Guo Lijing, thinking they couldn’t get married, wanted to find a way to exchange the apartment.

So he approached the housing allocation officer with lots of gifts to get a promise for a swap. However, the officer was transferred away after more than a month, catching him off guard.

Guo Lijing’s leg wasn’t fully recovered when her brother began urging them to vacate the apartment, so with no other option, he returned to negotiate, initially with the plan to get married here and move out to their unit later. Now it seemed they had to dismiss those plans.

After taking several deep breaths and trying to calm himself, he said, "Mom, stop hitting her. Killing her won’t help. Uncle Lu probably won’t treat us like before after this.

Whether I’m still getting married or not, we need to find a place quickly, or we might face more trouble later on. Guo Lijing’s brothers are not to be trifled with. I’m afraid if the Lu Family doesn’t ruin our reputation, the Guo Family will still come over to cause a commotion."

So Geng Mingli stopped dwelling on her anger with her daughter and went out to find a place that same afternoon. To avoid any issues with the Guo Family, they spent a lot of money on renting the apartment, all to ensure her son wouldn’t be humiliated.

Therefore, on the day Cui Jianhua got married, the people of the Lu Family showed up briefly and found reasons to leave afterwards. It was clear to anyone with eyes that something had happened, though the face-off wasn’t fully revealed.

The Guo Family, initially wanting to make a fuss upon seeing that the route of the wedding procession was wrong, ended up not causing any trouble when they saw the new house was quite nice, thus there was no reason for complaints, and the matter passed quietly.

Over the past half a month, Luo Qiao had plenty of time and visited various properties. She also made some inquiries at the housing administration. She didn’t ask anyone to help her search, as she didn’t really want others to know about this matter.
