Lu Yancheng, Don't Touch Me

But Lu Hanyue wasn't clever. She continued to mutter and complain, "Mom, look at my face! It's all because of that bitch Wen Yao! We definitely can't let her off this time!"

Jiang Ya's heart pounded. She kicked Lu Hanyue with her foot.

With a single glance from Lu Yancheng, Secretary Fei understood. He quickly rushed upstairs.

"Mr. Lu, Madam isn't in her room."

Lu Yancheng's face turned icy, his eyes deepened. "Where is she?"

"Yan, listen to Mom. Wen Yao... she's planning to run away on her own."

"Don’t make me ask again!" The depths of his eyes flashed with anger.

Jiang Ya had never thought that one day she would be frightened to near death by her own son.

"The ancestral hall."

Lu Yancheng turned and left, plunging into the rain. He walked quickly toward the ancestral hall, followed closely by everyone else.

The ancestral hall's door was locked. Lu Housekeeper was about to fetch the key when Lu Yancheng kicked the door open.

With a pale face, Wen Yao was leaning against the corner.

Hearing the commotion, she slowly opened her eyes.

Lu Yancheng?

Wen Yao felt like she must be too cold, causing her to have hallucinations. However, the next second, she found herself in a warm embrace.

Her body was icy cold, devoid of any residual warmth. Lu Yancheng let out a low curse and took off his suit to tightly wrap her in it.

Wen Yao pushed against his chest weakly, "Lu Yancheng, don't touch me..."

Her voice was so feeble, yet the words she spoke were so hurtful.

Lu Yancheng paid no attention, assuming she was just being stubborn.

After all, she looked utterly terrible now.

He immediately instructed the servants to run a bath and prepare ginger soup, and even called the family doctor to come as quickly as possible.

However, Wen Yao didn't appreciate it. She bit her lower lip and mustered all her strength to push him away. "Lu Yancheng, how much longer are you and your mother planning to act?"

Lu Yancheng's eyes darkened, his brow furrowing.

"Yan, don't blame me. She had an affair, cheating on you with another man behind your back!"

Jiang Ya wiped her tears and spoke every word as if it were the absolute truth. "I just questioned her a bit, and she pushed me into the fountain like a madwoman..."

If Wen Yao was an onlooker, even she might have believed it...

Lu Yancheng's gaze fixated on Wen Yao, his voice low as he asked, "Did you?"

Wen Yao sneered, "She attacked first. There are surveillance cameras in the backyard that directly face the fountain. As long as Mr. Lu accesses the footage, everything will become clear!"

The mention of "Mr. Lu" caused a twitch in Lu Yancheng's lips. He wasn't satisfied with that title at all.

Wen Yao's words caught Jiang Ya off guard. She had clearly forgotten about the surveillance cameras! But Jiang Ya didn't show any guilt and remained composed.

"You easily signed the divorce agreement, didn't you? Isn't it because you had an affair within the marriage? I was just angry, so I wanted to give you a lesson."

"Wen Yao, the Lu family didn't wrong you! You had an affair within your marriage, and as your mother-in-law, I can't even confine you to the ancestral hall?!"

Jiang Ya's words made Lu Yancheng's expression turn fierce. He held her wrist tightly, his jaw clenched, his disheveled hair falling over his forehead, covering those bottomless eyes. "Did you betray me?"

Wen Yao lifted her slightly reddened gaze, meeting his eyes. In his deep and knowing gaze, there was only a chilling indifference.
