Chapter 258: Laying Mines
Lu Ruisheng spoke of murder so casually, but Huang Suzhen’s heart sank upon hearing this. She had killed people before, but she couldn’t be as composed as Lu Ruisheng. It seemed she really was getting old.
No, she had just wanted to probe earlier, curious about how well they were living. She didn’t believe their prowess alone afforded such comfort, but how had she been turned around in her questioning?
At that moment, Lun Wanli sighed, "It’s truly our Lu Family that has failed Shengsheng. If only he hadn’t been lost, if he had been by our side, would he have suffered so much?"
Huang Suzhen responded, "We can’t say that either, Mingming wasn’t lost and still couldn’t always be by our side. Children grow up and eventually lead their own lives."
Whenever Lun Wanli thought of this, he became irate. "And you still have the nerve to say that? Mingming could have been with us, but what did he do? He insisted on listening to his mother and going abroad. If he hadn’t gone abroad, would he be like he is now?" He refrained from voicing the last part, "accomplished nothing."
Huang Suzhen was truly distressed, wondering why nothing she said seemed right. She had never felt such helplessness before. It seemed Lu Ruisheng truly was her nemesis. His return was disastrous for her and her grandson.
Lu Ruiming, skilled in this aspect, hurriedly continued with a pitiful tone, "Grandfather, I truly wanted to study in the Capital City and be near you and grandmother. But my mom wouldn’t even let me finish high school and sent me away. I really missed you both."
At the time, Zhang Huishu had altered Lu Ruiming’s age and school records with great effort to send him abroad for safety.
Upon hearing Lu Ruiming’s words, Lun Wanli felt much better. "I always said our Lu Family’s children couldn’t be so ungrateful. The Beautiful Country might be good, but it’s nothing compared to our Great Huaxia."
Lu Ruiming quickly agreed, "Of course, the food in the Beautiful Country tastes bad, the scenery isn’t as nice as ours, frankly, nothing there is as good as here. When I returned, I cried with emotion looking at our motherland’s beautiful landscapes, truly proud."
