Ji Hancheng lay on the back seat, pretending to doze off. His mind was filled with the woman's cold expression, her face practically screaming disdain. The more he thought about it, the more suffocated he felt. He needed to vent.

Xu Mingkai, driving in front, glanced up and saw the constipated look on the man's face in the back seat in the rearview mirror. Holding his breath, he asked, "Where is Young Master Ji going?"

Bringing a face that looks like the whole world owes you millions to the company is also damaging to employees' hearts.

At this rate, all employees will need to be given heart medication.

The man didn't answer him immediately. He glanced at the scenery rushing past the car window. The weather was nice, but he was in a bad mood. "To Tissot."

After saying that, she made a phone call to Lu Jinnan in an unfriendly tone, "Come on, Tiss." Without waiting for the other person's reply, she hung up the phone, giving Lu Jinnan no chance to refuse.

Xu Mingkai, sitting in the driver's seat, was already silently praying for Young Master Lu. Although he didn't know what Young Master Ji wanted to see Young Master Lu about, he knew that Young Master Ji never came to see Young Master Lu for anything good.

Soon the car arrived at the entrance of Tiss. Xu Mingkai glanced at the man who was pretending to be asleep in the back seat, and slowly turned the steering wheel, unhurriedly.

After the car came to a stop, Ji Hancheng opened his eyes, straightened his clothes, and strode out of the car, heading straight for Tiss's private elevator.

When Han Yue's office door was pushed open, a look of surprise appeared on his face. "So free today?"

Ji Hancheng said coldly, "Deal with the individuals."

The next second, Lu Jinnan pushed the door open and came in, panting, "What's the matter that you hung up the phone in such a hurry?"

Ji Hancheng didn't sit down on the sofa. He walked straight towards the boxing gym room with a cold face, opened his clothes, and took out a set of casual clothes. This wardrobe belonged to him.

Lu Jinnan, who was following closely behind, sensed something was wrong and felt a chill run down his spine. "Damn, what's going on? You're not asking me to box, are you?"

Han Yue also came over, and looked at the scene with a gloating smile, "You can't escape today. After you beat him up, you can at least appease him."

Lu Jinnan had no idea where he had offended this old man. He was completely baffled. "After I beat him up, I can still see my daughter, right? She..." Realizing he had said something he shouldn't have, he immediately stopped.

He took a deep breath and scratched his head awkwardly, feeling uneasy under the watchful eyes of three menacing figures.

Ji Hancheng had a wicked yet chilling smile on his lips, but his voice was cold, making people shiver involuntarily. "Quite the awareness, you've confessed without being asked."

As expected, the truth couldn't be hidden forever. Lu Jinnan assumed Ji Hancheng had only found out today, and feeling a little guilty, he touched the back of his neck and lied, "I was just thinking of telling you tomorrow, wasn't I?"

Han Yue added fuel to the fire, a handsome smile playing on his lips. He crossed his arms over his chest, leaned against the wall, and shouted, "How about I give you a Chinese almanac so you can choose one? Do you need a Taoist priest or a feng shui master? My Tiss can provide a one-stop service. Even if you need funeral home services today, I can arrange it for you."

Xu Mingkai searched his mind for Lu Shao's daughter, and suddenly realized what was going on. He stared wide-eyed in shock, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back down. Why was Ji Shao not showing any excitement at all?

Lu Jinnan glared at Han Yue, who was adding fuel to the fire, and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Han Yue immediately retorted, "You'll still get beaten up even if I don't say anything." You're not getting away with this beating.

Lu Jinnan: ".............." His fantasy of continuing his dying struggle was shattered.

"It's a difficult birth, hurry up..."

接受事实的陆锦南一副认命的死样,拖着腿慢悠悠的换衣服戴拳套牙套,时刻準备着被挨揍,徐明凯跟韩跃是唯一见证一场实力之差巨大的拳赛,不对,是单方面碾压的拳赛。

Half an hour later, Ji Hancheng, looking refreshed, took off his boxing gloves and asked, "Didn't your mother force you to marry Miss Su?"

Lying on the ground, too weak from the beating to speak, Lu Jinnan was now full of confidence. "Is it any of your business?"

"Are you sure you want to fight this alone?"

Lu Jinnan's eyes lit up; his interest was piqued. He sat up abruptly, the movement pulling at the corner of his mouth. He covered his mouth with one hand. "Are you asking me for advice?"

Ji Hancheng snorted out a single word through his nostrils, "Hmph, your Chinese teacher taught you PE."

Lu Jinnan's lips were still stained with blood, and they were visibly cracked. Young Master Ji had shown mercy, leaving only a small injury on his face. But Young Master Ji was ruthless; even though he knew Lu Jinnan cared most about his face, he still felt sorry for him for a few seconds.

Xu Mingkai, moved by kindness, helped Lu Jinnan to sit down on the sofa.

Ji Hancheng sat down on the sofa without changing his clothes, then took out a cigarette and threw the rest of the cigarette pack to the injured Lu Jinnan.

He generously said, "It's over, there won't be a next time."

Lu Jinnan rolled her eyes at him, pointed to her face, and retorted, "Do you think my injury can be reversed?"

He said in a matter-of-fact tone, "You can fight back, but it's your own fault for being so weak."

Lu Jinnan was dissatisfied and immediately retorted, "You think I'm inferior and you want to fight me? Are you crazy?"

Ji Hancheng sneered and remained silent. Isn't this a blatant attack on you?

Han Yue broke the pointless conversation, saying, "You two are in the same boat now, why don't you consider teaming up to pursue your wives?"

Ji Hancheng rarely showed off in front of Han Yue, and said with a smug look on his face, "My son is already old enough to run errands, what do you, a bachelor, know?"

Completely forgetting he'd been beaten, Lu Jinnan immediately retorted, "My daughter's already out there and you still haven't had your fill? How can you be so shameless?"

Han Yue: "............." He shrugged, as if to say, "Let me see what you guys think."

Xu Mingkai, who wasn't named and hadn't yet had sex, remained silent throughout. It's better not to offend a man who's been unlucky in love for many years; he's too scary. He was alright when he was alone, but now he's a couple, and they're clearly not strong enough. Even Han Shao, who's always been full of fighting spirit, failed.

He's definitely no match for him, so I won't risk a futile effort.

As if he had just thought of something, Lu Jinnan immediately said, "Xu Man went to H country yesterday. I found her a hospital, and she won't be coming back."

"Hmm." His face remained expressionless; he simply replied with a single word in politeness.

That evening, just as Lu Jinnan entered the house and was about to go upstairs to take a shower, his father stopped him. He looked at his son's face carefully for a while and asked, "What happened to your face? Did you get into a fight?"

He got angry just thinking about it, and said slowly, "I didn't tell Ji Hancheng that Yueyue is my daughter, so he's taking it out on me?"

Mr. Lu didn't believe him. "What does your daughter have to do with Ji Hancheng?" he asked. He just stared at his son without saying a word, which made Lu Jinnan feel uneasy. He had no choice but to tell the truth and recount the whole story from beginning to end.

Upon learning the truth, Mr. Lu had a plan in mind, but he scolded his son, "Is this how you do things? You didn't tell Ji Hancheng about this. What kind of brother are you? Alright, go take a shower."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu's father went upstairs even faster than his son. Lu Jinnan, who was following behind, felt a little strange, but he didn't investigate it further and went to his room to take a shower.

About ten minutes later, when Lu Jinnan came out of the bathroom, his mother was standing in the room, holding a feather duster. Meeting her murderous glare, Lu Jinnan was startled and took a few steps back, his eyes full of defensiveness. "Mom, why are you in my room so late at night?"

Mrs. Lu was furious, her cheeks puffed out, and she slapped her palms repeatedly with the feather duster, ready to hit her son at any moment. "Tell me, have you done something to offend the Lu family ancestors?"

Why is he bringing up ancestors so late at night? What's going on? What did he do to offend the ancestors? He even gave the Lu family a beautiful granddaughter. Wait a minute, at this rate, will Mother...

Lu's mother smiled, but her eyes held a murderous glint. "You remember now, that's good." The next second, as expected, the feather duster struck Lu Jinnan's bare back hard. The pain made him jump onto the bed, dodging left and right, trying to escape the feather duster.

After being chased and beaten by his mother for a while, he couldn't take it anymore. Several red welts appeared on his body, burning with pain. "Mom, stop, stop! I'm telling you the truth, please don't hit me yet. A gentleman uses words, not fists."

Mrs. Lu was also tired from running around, so she pulled up a stool and sat down, crossing her legs and acting like a boss. "I'm a woman, I'm good with my hands, not my words. I'm going to rest for a bit. You'd better give me a proper explanation."

Lu Jinnan carefully sat down a distance away from his mother, grabbed a piece of clothing and quickly put it on, hoping to block her if she attacked again. "Mom, I was going to tell you a few days ago, but Dad told me not to, saying that your temper is too fiery and would complicate things."

In order to survive, Lu Jinnan had no choice but to use his father as a scapegoat, and silently apologized.

The next second, the feather duster unexpectedly hit Lu Jinnan with lightning speed. "You made such a big mistake and you still don't know how to repent. You even pushed the blame onto your father. If your father hadn't told me about this just now, I would still be in the dark. Lu Jinnan, it seems I've been too good to you. You're going further and further down the road of no return. Your father even told me to talk to you properly and not to rush things. How can you face your father?"

Lu Jinnan was seething with anger. So his father had slipped away so quickly to become a scheming woman? Damn, the old man was ruthless. This was a vicious move. Now, no matter how he explained, it was useless. His credibility was practically zero.

Lu Jinnan: "............" (A "Do whatever you want, destroy it, I'm giving up" attitude)

Seeing her son's lifeless state, Lu's mother became furious. "Let me tell you, you're a scumbag now. You've ruined that young girl's innocence. Starting tomorrow, you'd better apologize to Xiaoxue properly until she forgives you. Otherwise, you can forget about stepping into this house. You're expelled from the Lu family starting tomorrow. You can come back home the day Su Xue forgives you. I'll only let you stay one more night because you're my own son."

Lu Jinnan: I suspect this terrible idea came from the father of that green tea bitch.

When Lu's mother returned to her room, she honestly told Lu's father what had just happened. "Your son is becoming more and more out of line. He even tried to pin the blame on you. It made me so angry. You're not lying to me, are you?"

With a guilty look in his eyes, Mr. Lu put his arm around Mrs. Lu's shoulder, pressed her down on the bed, and then gently massaged her shoulders. "Didn't I tell you the truth as soon as I found out? When have I ever lied to you?"

Mrs. Lu nodded in satisfaction. "Remember what you said. I have already passed on your method to my son and told him to go out tomorrow. Sigh, it seems that our family has let the Su family down. Husband, should we go to the Su family together tomorrow? The children's affairs are the children's business. We adults cannot be impolite. Our son has already let Xiaoxue down. If we hold her back, we will lose both our daughter-in-law and granddaughter."

After being deceived, Mr. Lu readily agreed. When his wife couldn't see, he smirked and said, "Go ahead, whatever my wife says goes. Your idea is good and clever. Tomorrow we'll go buy some gifts first. We can't seem stingy, but they can't be too expensive either. After all, your son is still not good enough to win someone over. We shouldn't put too much burden on the Su family."

Mrs. Lu was overjoyed by the praise, her smile never fading. "You really know how to talk. Give me another massage on my left side. It's been so long since I've hit my son, I'm so tired."

Mr. Lu narrowly escaped death. Where Mrs. Lu couldn't see him, he sighed and, driven by a strong will to survive, vigorously massaged his shoulders.

Who would have thought that the head of the Lu family, one of the four great families, was a henpecked husband?
