A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Lu Congyue didn't want to see Lu Sheng's family of three reunited, so he planned to go home after completing the formalities.

However, before leaving, he made a point of filing a report with the police officers in front of Lu Sheng and the others.

If anything happens to him or his family again, or if the child goes missing again, it will be the fault of Lu Sheng and his family of three.

These words made the faces of Lu Sheng and his family of three turn ugly.

"Cong Yue, don't put it so harshly," Lu Sheng said with a dark face.

Lu Congyue, holding Xiao Chenglin, smiled enigmatically: "As long as you don't do anything ugly, I won't say anything harsh."

Lu Congyue left after he finished speaking. He still had to buy a train ticket. The thought of being able to go home and see his wife and two children in a couple of days filled him with joy and happiness.

Lu Sheng left the police station with his wife and children. As soon as they got into the car, Lu Guoqiang, who had been silent and well-behaved the whole time, couldn't help but speak up: "Dad, did you hear what he said? It was so outrageous and arrogant!"

"Alright, stop talking about it." Guan Jing hurriedly advised, "Guoqiang, you know your brother has always been like this. This time, your father even had a complete falling out with him because of you. Don't mention him at home anymore."

"Really?" Lu Guoqiang was immediately pleased.

He was originally the only child in his family and was pampered. But then Lu Congyue suddenly appeared, and he was so outstanding. It was one thing for others to compare him with Lu Congyue, but even his parents compared him with Lu Congyue. He had had enough.

Now things are better; he's the only child in the family again.

Lu Guoqiang grinned happily, then started fussing about wanting to take a bath and attend a banquet, saying he had suffered terribly inside these past few days.

Guan Jing coaxed him the whole way, and Lu Sheng didn't speak until they got home.

"stop!"

Lu Guoqiang was taken aback and instinctively stood still: "Dad, what's wrong?"

Guan Jing also looked puzzled.

At that moment, Lu Sheng stepped forward and, with lightning speed, slapped Lu Guoqiang hard across the face.

Although he was old, he had been on the battlefield and carried a gun, so he still had the physical strength. The slap came suddenly, and Lu Guoqiang not only couldn't dodge it, but was also knocked off balance. His ears were ringing, and he even tasted rust in his mouth.

Guan Jing screamed from the side and rushed forward to support Lu Guoqiang, glaring angrily at Lu Sheng.

"Old Lu, are you crazy? Why are you hitting the child?"

Lu Guoqiang finally realized what was happening, covering his face in disbelief as he looked at Lu Sheng's grim expression: "Dad? You hit me? I just came back from suffering and you hit me?"

Lu Sheng looked at his son, who was so incompetent, and trembled slightly with anger.

"Did I hit you wrong? You little beast, how could you lay a hand on a child! That child is only a little over a year old, how could you do that?!"

Lu Guoqiang was going crazy: "You hit me for that little bastard? Dad, I'm your son! That little bastard is just Lu Congyue's child with a widow, and you're siding with him? Aren't you ashamed?!"

Guan Jing was about to lose her temper. Seeing that Lu Sheng was about to explode, she quickly stepped in front of Lu Guoqiang and cried, "Old Lu, let's talk this out! Don't hit him! Guoqiang has suffered so much, he hasn't been eating or sleeping well these past few days, his body is already weak, if you beat him up and make him even worse..."

"Shut up!" Lu Sheng pointed his index finger at Guan Jing, almost poking her nose. "I haven't said anything to you these past few days, and you really think nothing's wrong? I really didn't know you, Guan Jing, were so capable of hiring people to kidnap children. Who were you hiring? How do you know those people?"

Guan Jing immediately fell silent, not daring to meet Lu Sheng's gaze.

Lu Sheng hadn't pursued the matter much these past few days, and she thought the matter was over. She never expected him to settle scores now.

The person she chose was naturally not respectable, and how they met is another story.

She couldn't very well say it was because her son was unreliable. From childhood to adulthood, she had met all sorts of people from all walks of life in order to settle things for her son.

"Dad, why are you taking it out on Mom?" Lu Guoqiang said, trying to defend his mother when he saw her being scolded. "You're always thinking about your precious eldest son and don't care about me at all. Isn't everything Mom did for me? If you paid any attention to me, Mom wouldn't have done this."

Lu Sheng laughed angrily: "So, after all this time, the fault is still mine?"

"That's true. If you hadn't been so promiscuous when you were young, and had such a grown son come knocking on our door years later, my mother and I wouldn't be in this state now," Lu Guoqiang muttered under his breath.

Lu Sheng was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed. He was furious. After scanning his surroundings, he simply loosened his belt and pulled it off.

Guan Jing and Lu Guoqiang's expressions changed drastically at the same time.

Guan Jing cried out urgently, "Old Lu! Old Lu, don't go crazy! Our son is weak; if you whip him with a belt, you'll kill him!"

Lu Sheng looked at her with disappointment: "If you hadn't stopped me when I whipped him with the belt earlier, he might have become a successful person by now, instead of ending up like this."

More contempt! More contempt!

Lu Guoqiang knew perfectly well that his father looked down on him and perhaps even regretted having him!

His fear of the belt turned into anger. Standing behind Guan Jing, Lu Guoqiang retorted, "I know you look down on me, you find fault with everything I do, but have you ever considered that I'm just like you to the core! You could abandon your wife and children back then, so why can't I date a few more women?"

"Oh, right, I'm a little better than you. At least I only dated them, didn't get anyone pregnant, and never abandoned my wife and children!"

As soon as Lu Guoqiang finished shouting, Lu Sheng swung the belt in his hand, leaving afterimages.

Lu Guoqiang and Guan Jing were both drawn at the same time, and screamed in pain.

In the past, Lu Sheng would have stopped to check on their situation long ago, but Lu Sheng, enraged by Lu Guoqiang's words, lost his temper and continued to swing his belt.

The living room was filled with screams, the sound of belts whipping against bodies, and Lu Sheng's panting.

When Lu Sheng stopped, exhausted, Lu Guoqiang and Guan Jing were covered in bruises, even on their faces.

Lu Guoqiang was in the worst condition; lying on the ground, he had no other ability but to cry out.

Guan Jing was a little better, but she slumped to the ground, trembling and hugging herself, glaring at Lu Sheng with fear and anger.

"You actually hit me? Lu Sheng, you actually laid a hand on me?!"

Lu Sheng suddenly came to his senses and looked at his wife and child, who were covered in bruises, in disbelief.

Was he out of his mind? How could he lay a hand on his wife and children?

The belt fell to the ground with a thud. Lu Sheng rushed forward to help Guan Jing up, his face full of worry: "Guan Jing, are you alright?"

Guan Jing could tell he had calmed down, and she immediately started to lose her temper.

She shoved Lu Sheng hard, crying and screaming, "Lu Sheng, you bastard! You never lay a hand on me, but now you're whipping me with a belt! I've been married to you for over twenty years, given you a son, and devoted myself to taking care of your every need, and now you hit me for this little thing? I don't want to live anymore! I don't want to live anymore! Waaah..."
