Lu Yiye’s use of the word “eat” carried a certain implication.
After all, his reputation was well known—seducing women to him was as effortless as drinking tea.
Lin Ting replied unhurriedly: “President Lu is joking. I was simply free today and came out with my fiancée for a meal.”
How could he possibly be free? Everyone knew Lin Ting was endlessly busy. While these young masters were clubbing in bars, he was working overtime in the company. While they were enjoying cruises, he was still working overtime. In upper-class circles, it was even said that Lin Ting only loved work.
Yet this time, he had deliberately shown up to back Song Xinyu.
Lu Shuangshuang let out a cold snort. “Hmph, seductress……” It must have been some shameful trick used by Song Xinyu.
Of course, she had never liked Song Xinyu. Otherwise, she would not have been bullying her all these years.
Lu Yiye scolded: “Shut up. Do you still think you haven’t embarrassed yourself enough?”
He pointed at his cousin’s swollen face, using it as the starting point of today’s matter. “My cousin may not be a breathtaking beauty, but she could at least be considered a delicate, respectable young lady. I didn’t expect her to end up like a pig’s head.”
“Brother, she even broke my leg.” Lu Shuangshuang complained. Only then did everyone notice that she was actually sitting in a wheelchair.
Everyone knew Lu Yiye was protective of his own, and they also knew Lu Shuangshuang was not someone easy to deal with—she would definitely bring reinforcements.
So here it came.
Ji Mu looked on with the attitude of someone enjoying a show.
And Song Xinyu’s inner voice arrived as well:
【If we’re talking ruthless, it really is the villain. I only hit Lu Shuangshuang’s face, but he actually broke her leg. Just to settle scores with the Lin Family, he really is ruthless.】
Lu Yiye heard this and found it unbelievable—how did Song Xinyu even know that?
At this moment, before Song Xinyu had a chance to explain herself, Song Xinyan stepped forward first. Pretending to take responsibility for her younger sister, she said: “Lord Lu, this is indeed my sister’s fault. But she is still my sister. If you want to punish someone, come at me.”
In reality, she was indirectly admitting guilt on her sister’s behalf.
It was also a deliberate move to deny Song Xinyu any chance to defend herself.
【Always so quick to push me out without even giving me time to explain.】
Ji Mu felt heartache for Song Xinyan. “Xiao Yan, you’re always cleaning up after your troublesome sister, but look at her—does she look like she appreciates it at all?”
Song Xinyu then spoke up. “I admit it. I was the one who turned your sister’s face into a pig’s head.”
Ji Mu laughed. “See? She admitted it. Then handle this yourself.”
The implication was clear: she should bear the Lu family’s anger alone.
But Song Xinyan still tried to act like the good elder sister and said: “My sister didn’t do it on purpose. She wouldn’t hit someone without reason.”
“Mm, she did do it on purpose.”
“……”
Everyone present fell silent.
She had admitted it so openly that everyone was momentarily unable to process it.
“Brother, did you hear that? She admitted it herself. Please help me get justice.”
Compared to Lu Shuangshuang’s impatience, Lu Yiye remained calm and composed. There was a faint smile in his eyes—as if he found this interesting.
For a moment, he could not quite figure out Song Xinyu’s pattern.
“Isn’t it just turning your face into a pig’s head? If you’re not satisfied, then you can turn mine into one too.”
Then she added: “Didn’t my sister just say she would take responsibility for me? Then hit her instead. We sisters don’t mind these things.”
Song Xinyan’s pupils trembled violently: !!!
Ji Mu slammed the table in panic. “Song Xinyu, are you insane?”
“Oh? So sister doesn’t want to? You spoke so loudly earlier, but it turns out it was all just an act for everyone to see. You should have said so earlier! Come on, Lu Shuangshuang, hit me.”
She even tilted her face forward.
Between her and Lu Shuangshuang stood two major figures—Lin Ting and Lu Yiye.
Lu Shuangshuang was completely stunned. What was Song Xinyu trying to do again?
“Heh, Miss Song really knows how to joke.” Lu Yiye suddenly chuckled.
But Song Xinyu remained serious. “I’m not joking.”
“Since Lu Shuangshuang has her cousin backing her now, she naturally cannot suffer even the slightest grievance.”
“Then I also have someone backing me. It’s the perfect time to settle old accounts.”
“Lu Shuangshuang, we went to the same school. You didn’t forget what you did to me in the bathroom, did you?”
Lu Shuangshuang panicked immediately. She did not expect old accounts to be brought up.
“Don’t talk nonsense! And that was years ago—do you have proof?”
“I don’t have proof, but I do have a witness.” Song Xinyu pointed at her own sister. “Back then, after I was beaten and locked in the bathroom, unable to get out, it was my sister who opened the door and brought me home. To me, my sister was my savior.”
“……”
Song Xinyan looked troubled. “Xiao Yu, stop talking. I know you were wronged, but it’s all in the past. Let’s not bring it up anymore……”
“Alright, sister. That’s exactly what you said back then—you said the Lu family was too powerful, and we could only endure it.”
“But now the Lu family is not as glorious as before. Do we still need to endure?”
She smiled lightly. “Or I should rephrase it and tell Lu Shuangshuang directly: things are different now. If I hit you, you’ll just have to endure it.”
Lu Shuangshuang froze completely.
Even Song Xinyan’s expression was far from pleasant.
Song Xinyu’s words were sharp and precise.
She easily reversed the entire situation.
Lu Yiye suddenly chuckled softly again, unclear whether it was real amusement or not. “Miss Song does have a point.”
“Lu Shuangshuang, you should take responsibility for your own mistakes.”
“Brother, don’t listen to her nonsense! I never hit her. She’s making things up!”
“Yes, yes, your little followers can testify for you.” Song Xinyu clenched her fist. “I wonder how they’re doing now. I wouldn’t mind meeting them again to see whether they’re willing to tell the truth.”
Lu Shuangshuang immediately shut her mouth.
The pain from that beating was very real.
Seeing the situation turning tense, Song Xinyan tried to speak to clear herself, after all, she had been the mastermind behind the bullying back then.
Lu Shuangshuang had simply been the foolish tool.
In truth, Lu Yiye knew all of this.
He had not intervened back then because he knew Song Xinyu was weak and would not resist—such a person was not worth helping.
As for Song Xinyan, she was Lin Ting’s fiancée, so he had kept her as leverage.
At this moment, Song Xinyu’s gaze landed on Lu Yiye. She met his deep eyes openly, without the slightest fear.
He let out a soft laugh—unexpectedly, she truly was not afraid of him.
One must know that the Lu family’s background was not clean; many things could not be spoken of openly. They had only been cleaned up later through business.
Anyone who knew even a little would not dare oppose the Lu family.
That was also why no one had ever dared to resist Lu Shuangshuang’s bullying.
【You villain, why are you smiling? And why do you look kind of good when you smile……】
Lu Yiye: ……his lips twitched upward against his will
Lin Ting and Ji Mu: ……
【No wonder Song Xinyu will be completely taken in by you after marriage……】
Now Ji Mu’s lips also lifted slightly. So Lin Ting would end up being cheated on?
Lu Yiye and Lin Ting: ……
【I know you are holding a revenge script, determined to avenge your father and target the Lin Family. I’m just one piece in your game.】
【Back then too, when Lu Shuangshuang was bullying at school, you originally intended to stop it. But after realizing it was instigated by Song Xinyan, who used Lu Shuangshuang to bully me, you chose to do nothing. Because you knew Song Xinyan was Lin Ting’s fiancée, and you planned to use that as leverage against her later……】
Ji Mu refused to believe it. How could Song Xinyan possibly do such things?
Stop talking nonsense, Song Xinyu.
But her inner voice continued:
【Villains are still villains. For the sake of dealing with the Lin Family, they truly do not care about methods……】
Lu Yiye’s face darkened.
You’ve exposed my bottom line.
