Chapter 159: She Seduced Me! (2/2)
As she happily played around with the cat, she suddenly heard Lu Chenzhou’s voice drift out of the house from above her. “What’s the meaning of what you said to our grandparents?”
It was from an upstairs bedroom.
Cheng Xi was right below that window, and the window wasn’t closed, so she could clearly hear the conversation.
It seemed as if the Lu siblings were talking about something. Cheng Xi felt that it would be impolite to eavesdrop, but just as she was about to carry the cat away, she heard Lu Chenzhou ask, “You know Cheng Xi? What has she done to make you feel like she’s not a good person?”
Cheng Xi was shocked by the accusation. “……”
Her hands, which had picked up the cat, subconsciously lowered again. Lu Chenzhou’s words were a bit mystifying to her, really. Did Lu Chenming think she was a bad person? Just what could she have done or said that would make this shy and introverted fellow still attend her class with that opinion of her?
So while she wasn’t intentionally trying to eavesdrop, she was a little curious. In the end, she remained half-standing by the window. When she saw the housekeeper approaching her from afar, she even waved her away, and the housekeeper stopped, somewhat puzzled.
Lu Chenming didn’t respond to his brother’s question, and Lu Chenzhou’s tone turned impatient. “Lu Chenming, I’m not a patient person, so I’ll give you one last chance to respond. If you want to say something, then this is your last chance; if not, then keep it bottled shut for the rest of your life.”
“I’ll give you three seconds to decide.” And then Lu Chenzhou began to count down unhurriedly. “One, two, three!”
Honestly, Lu Chenzhou was already being pretty warm towards Lu Chenming by giving him three seconds to decide. If it were anyone else, then he probably wouldn’t even have wasted his time counting down.
Such was Mr. Lu’s personality.
As soon as he said “three,” Cheng Xi heard some footsteps approach the door. Evidently, Lu Chenzhou had lost his patience and was directly walking away.
But at the same time, Lu Chenming’s voice rang out, and he hoarsely yelled, “She seduced me, but then she turned around to marry you!”
……!!! So this was what he had meant when he had said that she was a bad person!
But when had she seduced him?
Clearly, Lu Chenzhou was also wondering the same question, because she heard his cool voice ask, “When?”
Perhaps Lu Chenming felt like he had already said the scandalous important part, so Lu Chenming unhesitatingly answered, “Before she got in a relationship with you!” He even sounded a bit sulky, as if he was thinking, Brother, you’re a small-minded person. How could you steal my woman away from me.
Perhaps Lu Chenzhou was also thinking the same thing, because he fell silent for quite a while.
And then Cheng Xi heard Lu Chenzhou’s grandmother’s trembling voice, “Are you sure that it’s her?”
“Yes!”
“She said that she liked you?”
“Yes!”
Lu Chenzhou’s grandfather’s panicked voice came out from the window. “Wait, old woman, old woman…… Don’t be like that, don’t be so anxious. Calm down……”
Lu Chenzhou’s grandmother began to cry. “How could something like this happen?!”
Given the huge mess developing upstairs, even though she was shamelessly eavesdropping, Cheng Xi felt like she had to stand up and speak out for herself. She straightened herself up, walked a few steps into the line of sight of the window, and yelled out, “I’m sorry to bother you, but can I say something?”
Lu Chenzhou’s entire family was stunned by this turn of events.
