"In that case, see you in court." Lu Mingfei didn't intend to waste any more breath arguing with his aunt; if he could take action, he would rather fight than talk.

Just as I stood up, the door was pushed open.

Uncle Lu Gucheng walked in, carrying a briefcase, and looked at the two of them with surprise.

"What happened? Did you two have a fight?"

Seeing his aunt's red face and thick neck, and Lu Mingfei sitting calmly to the side, he roughly understood the situation.

He noticed that Lu Mingfei's clothes seemed to be from some high-end brand, and even the watch on his wrist was much more exquisite than the best watch he had ever seen, as if it came from the future. He instantly showed a look of envy.

Seeing that Lu Mingfei had changed so much in such a short time, even daring to talk back to his aunt who was the head of the family, he roughly guessed what had happened, probably that his brother had returned.

“Mingfei, your aunt is getting old and her thinking is already set. She will definitely offend you in some ways. Please be more tolerant and don’t take it to heart. She’s going through menopause and her temper will naturally be a bit worse.”

Lu Gucheng whispered to Lu Mingfei, worried that his aunt would hear.

Lu Mingfei ignored this uncle who was good at playing the role of a nice guy.

At this point, my aunt exploded.

"Lu Gucheng, what do you mean?!"

"I've raised this ungrateful wretch for so many years, and not only do you not side with me, you're also siding with outsiders! Do you know that he just tried to kill me and take the child support payments?!"

"Menopause, menopause, it just means you get easily agitated," Lu Gucheng explained to Lu Mingfei with a smile.

He turned to look at his aunt.

He knew this day would come sooner or later.

She misappropriated child support funds to buy a car and send her son to an elite school to satisfy her vanity. She already felt somewhat guilty and sorry for Lu Mingfei, so she still took good care of him in other matters.

Unfortunately, due to my cowardly nature, I hand over all my salary, let alone child support.

"Give it all to him." Lu Gucheng's words seemed to drain half of his strength.

"Why should I? The debt of raising me..." Auntie started using that same old argument again, arguing and refusing to use it no matter what.

Lu Gucheng's face gradually flushed red as he glanced at Lu Mingfei, who was standing behind him watching the show.

He was being treated like a dog, in front of his brother's child. This humiliation filled his chest instantly, his fists clenched until they turned slightly white, and his teeth chattered.

He was once a man of courage and integrity, and he built his success through hard work and perseverance.

Having been oppressed by a woman for so long, he too harbored resentment and felt anger.

Enraged, he raised his rough hand and slapped his aunt hard across the face.

The loud sound echoed in the room, which had suddenly fallen silent.

Immediately following was Lu Gucheng's furious roar. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared fiercely at his aunt.

"Shut up! It's none of your business to tell me what to do with my choices! Remember this: I'm the head of the household! You're just a housewife who does nothing!"

"You have no right to criticize me!"

Auntie covered the spot on her face where she had been slapped, staring blankly at the furious Lu Gucheng, her previous arrogance instantly subsided.

She was stunned by Lu Gucheng's roar.

Chapter 101 It's all your fault!

The aunt stared blankly at Lu Gucheng, who was usually timid and hesitant, but suddenly stood up straight.

Having made a habit of being bossy, she was instantly dumbfounded, her mind going completely blank.

The burning pain on her face brought her back to reality.

"Lu Gucheng! You not only don't help me deal with outsiders, but you also help outsiders deal with your own people! Do you have any conscience at all!" The aunt, who was stunned by the beating, turned her attack on Lu Gucheng.

Lu Gucheng ignored his aunt's tantrum and shouted loudly.

“Mingfei is my nephew, and I am his uncle. I have an obligation to help him. My brother has given us so much in child support. We have already spent enough over the years and even owe Mingfei a lot. It’s time for us to stop!”

He didn't know why, but the anger in his heart didn't make him lose his mind. It supported him like a belief, giving him the courage to fight back against his wife who had been oppressing him.

This feeling of resistance is very subtle.

He turned to Lu Mingfei and said.

"It's alright, leave it to me. You can leave now, and I'll give you a satisfactory answer."

Lu Gucheng paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, please give my regards to your parents. As their brother, I have no right to see them."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head in disappointment, as if he were repenting for his cowardice over the past few years.

Lu Mingfei glanced at the three of them.

In the end, we still have to go through legal proceedings. Arguing with them is pointless and a waste of breath.

"Okay." Lu Mingfei nodded and left the room.

Leaving this second home where I've lived for so many years, after all, is a decision made with my own money to pay off the loan.

The aunt stared at the door that had just been closed and began arguing fiercely again.

Why did you let him go?!

"Whether I let him go or not is none of your business to make trouble!"

Auntie panicked when she saw Lu Mingfei leave and roared at Lu Gucheng:

"Do you know that he's going to send our whole family to jail and make us stay there for several years!"

"How could you abandon your family for a stranger? Is there any man like you in this world?"

This was the first time the two had a serious argument.

Before long, Lu Gucheng's words hit a nerve, and the aunt began to smash things in protest, showing her defiance of Lu Gucheng.

Soon everything in the house was smashed to pieces, but Lu Gucheng still didn't back down an inch.

Lu Mingze, clutching his arm which had stopped bleeding, hid in a corner and watched the scene escalate from a heated argument to the smashing of furniture, and began to tremble.

What the hell does this happen?

How did things change from the very beginning? Usually, Lu Gucheng would give in and then scold Lu Mingfei. Why is Lu Gucheng suddenly starting to confront his aunt now?

And it escalated further, with the vandalism even affecting him.

Lu Mingze looked at the two people in front of him, trembling.

Is this what the students used to call "arguing"?

Will he have to live in this kind of environment every day from now on?

Do you have to see them arguing and smashing things every day?

The thought sent chills down his spine and made his hair stand on end.

For the first time, I felt fear towards the concept of "home," and for the first time, I wanted to leave the home that terrified me.

Lu Mingze even forgot to press on the wound on his arm, causing the blood to slowly seep out.

The pain from the wound could not compare to the distress in my heart.

What was a perfectly fine family this morning has now turned into a family that argues and smashes things all the time.

For the first time in his life, Lu Mingze was afraid of the future, afraid of tomorrow; time was so hard to pass.

state!

Lu Gucheng groaned and fell face down to the ground.

He was pressed down on many shattered ceramic shards, which pierced his skin, and blood slowly flowed from his abdomen.

The aunt was holding a half-meter-long solid wood rolling pin, panting heavily, her face flushed.

"You shouldn't have let Lu Mingfei go. As long as Lu Mingfei is here, we'll keep paying his child support, and we can continue living a life of luxury!"

"You can occasionally buy some fake luxury goods, and I can live the life of a rich lady. Mingze can continue to attend good private schools. It's all your fault. If you hadn't let Lu Mingfei go, I wouldn't have treated you like this."

The aunt turned the rolling pin, noticed faint traces of blood on it, and immediately threw it away.

The rolling pin made a loud thud as it hit the ground, each sound like a blow to Auntie's head, leaving her completely stunned.

Blood flowed from beneath Lu Gucheng, extending into the distance along the broken porcelain on the ground, winding its way forward like tiny, blood-red snakes.

No, no!

"This wasn't...this wasn't me!"

Looking at the blood beneath Lu Gucheng, the aunt scratched at her expensive, high-class hairstyle.

"It's all your fault... Yes, it's all your fault. If you hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't have done this, and I wouldn't have hit you."

"You shouldn't have let Lu Mingfei leave..." Auntie kept repeating this sentence, as if to comfort herself.

His hair was rumpled and messy, as if he had been wandering for many days.

As Lu Mingze emerged from his fear, he saw Lu Gucheng lying in a pool of blood, with his aunt beside him anxiously rubbing her hair.

"Dad, are you alright?"

He tried to turn Lu Gucheng over, but one arm was injured and the other arm was completely powerless to turn Lu Gucheng over.

Lu Mingze tried several times but was unable to move Lugu City.

He looked to his aunt, who was closest to him, for help.

"Mom, please help! My dad will die if he keeps bleeding!"

Lu Mingze touched a hard cube and took it out of Lu Gucheng's pocket.

"Yes, call the police and an ambulance!"

Lu Mingze quickly pressed the emergency call button, but before he could dial, he was slapped away and sent flying. The N96 crashed into the paving stones, the screen went dark, and a faint red light flashed and disappeared.

"No! We can't call the police! We can't call the police! They'll arrest us, they'll arrest us!"

My aunt muttered to herself, her hair completely disheveled.

"Mom, what are you doing! My dad is really going to die from blood loss!" For the first time, Lu Mingze defied his aunt, carefully walking around the floor littered with broken porcelain, and picked up the N96 again.

Snapped!
