Chapter 766 - Saving Lu Jin (1/2)

Lu Jin just turned ten. His birthday had already passed since a few days ago but he was still receiving gifts from many people.

His uncle from his maternal family had come to their mansion and gave him gifts. Lu Jin wanted to show off his gifts to his mother and father. So he came running to their room.

But the usual happy and warm couple was currently fighting.

”What is this?! Why are you involved in an illegal business? Are you doing this behind father's back?” His usual gentle warm mother was yelling furiously towards his father.

”Fanrong, listen to me. It's not what you think-” Ming Zhi Yi tried to hold Lu Fanrong.

”Don't you dare lie to my face and pretend you don't know anything! I thought you had another woman besides me since you always get out at night and missed a couple of days without telling me where you are going.. So I followed you, but what I found out is an organization selling drugs? How long have you been in this business?!”

”Fanrong, please listen to me. I have reasons. Don't tell father-”

”Why? Why do you have to involve yourself in the black market? Is our family not rich enough for you? Is the Lu family small in your eyes?”

”I don't owe anything in the Lu family!” Ming Zhi Yi shouted back.

”You don't owe anything?! How can you say that when you are married into this family!”

”I might have become part of Lu family after I married you. But none of the Lu's is mine.”

Lu Jin slowed down and peeked at his parent's room. The young Lu Jin opened his eyes wide. It was the first time he saw his parents fight.

His mother, Lu Fanrong, opened her mouth in shock. ”Ha. You don't consider yourself as Lu…” Lu Fanrong realized.

Ming Zhi Yi looked away. ”I am a man. I married into your family because of my love for you. But I still have pride-”

”How can you say that when we already have children! What can your pride do for our children?! Do you think involving yourself in illegal business would make our two sons happy? They don't need that!”

Ming Zhi Yi bit his lips. He did not answer.

”If you want to do business, then set up a legal one! Not like this!” Lu Fanrong huffed. She massaged her aching head while calming down. ”I'll tell father what you have been involved with. He can still help you cut off your ties from them. He can help you to clean up after this-”

”No! Don't tell him!”

”I have to!”

Lu Fanrong was about to leave the room when Ming Zhi Yi suddenly grabbed her arms. ”No, you don't!” His eyes glinted darkly.

”Ouch! You are hurting me, Zhi Yi! Let me go!”

Ming Zhi Yi just clutched Li Fanrong's arm tightly. ”I won't. Until you promise me you won't tell him.”

”How could you do this to me?” Lu Fanrong's eyes were wide. She could not believe her eyes and her ears. Her always gentle husband had a frightening look right now.

Ming Zhi Yi's eyes darkened. ”I need this work. If you don't back out now, our two sons won't have a father.”

Lu Fanrong's wide eyes teared up. ”How can you...why you…”

Drop.

”Mom..? Dad? Please stop fighting. Dad, you are hurting Mom.”
