Quick Transmigration: I Was Cannon Fodder But Became the White Moonlight

Chen Su ignored Lu Yichuan's words.

She walked straight up to him, her gaze sweeping over his slumped posture on the sofa before she slowly spoke, her tone dripping with undisguised sarcasm: "Lu Yichuan, have you even learned the Lu family's etiquette?"

Having said that, she completely ignored Lu Yichuan's instantly ashen face, turned to the somewhat bewildered Lin Zhixia beside her, and her expression instantly changed to a smile with a hint of elder's concern, her tone gentle and polite: "Hello, teacher, may I ask how I should address you?"

Lin Zhixia was clearly not used to this sudden change of attitude.

She put down her book, stood up from her chair, her posture neither servile nor overbearing, her voice gentle and polite: "Just call me Teacher Lin. And you are...?"

Chen Su smiled even more warmly, even with a hint of apology: "Oh, I'm Lu Yichuan's sister-in-law."

She paused, glancing at Lu Yichuan, who was practically bursting with anger, and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Lin, you must have found this amusing. My Yichuan is sometimes a bit lacking in discipline."

Lin Zhixia quickly shook her head, indicating that she was fine, but her eyes carefully shifted between Chen Su and Lu Yichuan, clearly sensing that the atmosphere was extremely unusual.

"Chen Su!" Lu Yichuan jumped up from the sofa like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"You? You think you can take advantage of me as my sister-in-law?! Let me tell you, not even in your next life!"

He was absolutely furious. Chen Su was only a little older than him, and the so-called engagement was practically nonexistent in his eyes. For him to call Chen Su "sister-in-law" was an utter disgrace.

"Lu Yichuan, show me some respect!" Chen Su retorted, raising her chin defiantly, her beautiful eyes blazing with anger. "I am your sister-in-law!"

"Huh?" Lu Yichuan laughed angrily. "Does my brother know about this? Don't forget who was mercilessly kicked out of his study this morning! Need me to help you remember?"

Lu Yichuan deliberately targeted the most sensitive spots.

"you……!"

Chen Su's face flushed red instantly when he exposed her shortcomings in front of a stranger, partly from anger and partly from embarrassment.

That bastard.

Caught in the middle, unable to leave or stay, Lin Zhixia felt even more awkward. She tried to speak up and mediate, her voice weak: "Um... please stop arguing..."

However, her voice was completely drowned out by the two men's heated exchange.

The room was filled with smoke and the smell of gunpowder.

It looked like the verbal conflict was about to escalate into a physical shoving match.

Seeing that things were not going well, Lin Zhixia was about to quietly move out to call for help when the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Bang!"

It hit the wall with a dull thud.

The sound startled the three people inside, who were on the verge of exchanging blows, and they all turned to look at the doorway.

Lu Yu stood by the door, one hand still on the doorknob.

He had been there for an unknown amount of time, his expression calm, even indifferent.

Only a slight furrow in his brow betrayed a hint of displeasure at being disturbed.

He was dressed in simple home clothes, yet he still exuded a commanding presence.

His gaze, clearly displeased, swept across the chaotic room before finally settling on Lu Yichuan, whose face was flushed and neck thick with anger, and Chen Su, whose eyes were red-rimmed and whose chest heaved with rage.

"What's all the noise about?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing most of the flames in the room.

"Brother Yuze..." Chen Su reacted the fastest. As if she had found her pillar of support, she immediately gave up her confrontation with Lu Yichuan and ran to Lu Yuze's side.

She reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve, tilting her small face up, her voice choked with sobs and accusation: "Yichuan...he insulted me..."

She even raised her hand to cover half of her face, her shoulder twitching slightly, as if she were truly heartbroken.

Lu Yu lowered his eyes, glanced at her trembling fingertips clutching his sleeve, then looked up, his gaze lingering on her tearful face for a second.

Then, he looked at Lu Yichuan, who was standing there stunned, and said in a completely flat tone: "Explain."

Lu Yichuan was a little intimidated by his brother's gaze, but the stubbornness of youth prevented him from bowing his head. He forced a smile and said, "I'm telling the truth! She was never my sister-in-law—"

The last "zi" was swallowed back under Lu Yuze's suddenly cold gaze.

"Apologize."

Lu Yu then uttered two words that left no room for doubt.

Lu Yichuan was also getting anxious. He couldn't swallow this insult, especially not in front of Chen Su. He stiffened his neck and retorted firmly, "No!"

Lu Yu looked at him, nodded, his face expressionless, as if he were handling a routine official matter: "Okay."

He took out his phone and, while dialing, stated in a clear and indifferent tone: "All of Lu Yichuan's credit cards and supplementary cards, including those trust dividends and car keys, are frozen. The freeze period is two months, or until he learns to apologize."

He is the current head of the Lu family, and when he says these words, they are an absolute order to be carried out.

Chen Su originally just wanted Lu Yuzhe to reprimand Lu Yichuan and give her some support, but she didn't expect him to be so ruthless.

Hearing "frozen for two months," her heart skipped a beat. Standing next to Lu Yuze, she quietly tugged at his sleeve, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something.

Isn't that... a bit too strict?

Lu Yu, however, seemed oblivious to her subtle actions. He had already put away his phone and turned his gaze to Lin Zhixia, who was trying to keep a low profile.

"Mr. Lin," he said politely but distantly, "the tutoring will be suspended for a week. The fees for this week will be settled on a daily basis and will be paid to you as usual."

Lin Zhixia was completely taken aback by how things had turned out. The sudden paid leave left her somewhat bewildered, but she quickly recovered and nodded hurriedly, "Okay, Mr. Lu. I understand. I'll take my leave now."

She didn't linger. She quickly packed her books and bag, nodded slightly to Lu Yuze and Chen Su, and hurriedly left this place of trouble.

Lu Yu then pulled his sleeve, which Chen Su was clutching, glanced at her, and said indifferently, "I'm leaving."

Chen Su quickly followed.

The corridor was quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps remaining.

Chen Su's unease grew stronger. She followed closely beside Lu Yuze, hesitatingly asking, "Brother Yuze, actually..."

"There's no need to plead for him."

Lu Yu didn't stop walking, his gaze fixed straight ahead, and he calmly interrupted her, "He really needs to be disciplined. His behavior is inappropriate, and this isn't the first time he's talked back to his elders."

This elder...

Does it refer to him or her?

She stole a glance at Lu Yuze's cold profile, swallowed back the words she was about to plead for, and obediently said "Oh".
