Chapter 97: Lu Chi Suspects Lu Mu Is the Culprit

Lu Mu never expected her own son to speak to her like that.

And it was all because of Su Yun Jiao.

Soon Lu Mu's tone turned sharp: "Lu Chi! How dare you speak to your mother like that? You actually suspect your own mother? Do you have any conscience? Get back here right now! Come back and we'll settle this!"

After saying that, Lu Mu hung up the phone, feeling a bit guilty.

Though she sounded tough on the phone, inside she was extremely uneasy.

Her son was no longer the little brat he was ten years ago.

Moreover, he was very sharp; just seeing his aunt let him guess most of what had happened.

At noon, Lu Chi rushed back to the Lu family home.

He saw Lu Mu sitting in the living room, and also visiting was the police chief.

They chatted happily, and then the police chief left directly.

As soon as Lu Mu looked up, she saw her son standing before her.

Lu Mu jumped: "You kid, how come you came back without making a sound?"

"Mom, what was that just now?"

Lu Chi's tone was cold.

Lu Mu, unconvinced, said: "What could it be? Just an old friend came over for a visit. Why are you acting so strange, kid? Do you think I have other friends?"

"Mom, were you and that person in cahoots, wanting to release my aunt and uncle?"

"Nonsense! How could I possibly do something like that?"

Lu Mu said coldly: "Haven't they already been arrested? Besides, Su Yun Jiao wasn't hurt; the police probably thought there was nothing and released them—what does that have to do with me?"

"I never said they had been released!"

Lu Chi's face darkened; this meant Lu Mu herself admitted that her aunt and uncle were fine.

Seeing her son pressing her relentlessly, Lu Mu's expression darkened and she said: "Lu Chi, watch your attitude! I'm your mother—how could I harm you?"

"I need to know why—why did my aunt kidnap Su Yun Jiao? Ten years ago, was it also you who had her kidnap Su Yun Jiao? You didn't call the police because you were afraid she'd be caught, which would expose you and leave you unable to continue raising Su Yun Jiao, right?"

Every word Lu Chi spoke struck Lu Mu's heart.

Lu Mu's thoughts calmed, and she said: "What you're saying has no evidence; it's all your own imagination! How could anyone blame their own mother like that?"

Lu Mu took a deep breath and said: "If you're fine, get back to your room! Stop spreading alarmist talk here!"

Lu Mu no longer wanted to listen to Lu Chi speak.

Because everything Lu Chi just said was true; if outsiders found out, what would become of her and the Lu family's reputation?

Upon hearing that, Lu Chi also said coldly: "You want to talk to me? I don't want to talk to you! When the time comes, I'll call the police and expose all your shady deeds—let's see what you do then!"

"You! Lu Chi! Stop right there!"

Hearing Lu Chi's words, Lu Mu's chest heaved with anger.

How did she give birth to such a worthless son?

Compared to Lu Jingqing, he's nowhere near as good!

Zheng Bi Yun, who had already been released, came out from the corner: "What do we do? If the eldest nephew speaks out, won't we all end up in prison?"

Zheng Bi Yun eyed the already-upstairs Lu Chi warily, but Lu Mu dismissed it: "What's the big deal? He's my son—could he harm me? It's you lot!"

When Lu Mu looked at Zheng Bi Yun, her expression turned icy and her face grew sharp and bitter: "You've been doing this behind my back—what exactly are you after? Didn't I give you money before? Who sent them to kidnap Su Yun Jiao? You just want to steal my source of wealth."

She had struggled hard to raise Su Yun Jiao, and now Su Yun Jiao was about to come of age.

She had waited so long for this day.

Yet her foolish, narrow-minded sister actually wanted to snatch Su Yun Jiao's inheritance before her!

She's practically not even human!

"And you say we're the problem? Sis, you've got a great hand—you actually want your son to marry the Su family's daughter, then wipe out the line, and later maybe have us do the killing for you?"

Zheng Bi Yun snorted in disdain.

The two sisters are each more ruthless than the other.

No one should blame anyone else!

"I'm telling you, if it weren't for me cleaning up after you two this time, you'd both be in jail! Su Yun Jiao is mine, and the Su family's fortune is mine! If I'm alright, could I possibly shortchange you on your benefits?"

"Pah! Why should I be the one doing all the dirty work? You've made so much—Lu Family's enterprise is worth a hundred billion! Give me something already—three or five hundred thousand to send us off? Do you think we're beggars?"

Lu Mu said, exasperated: "The Lu family hasn't had a hundred-billion fortune for years! If it weren't for me, the Lu family would have collapsed long ago! Without the inheritance the Su family left for Su Yun Jiao, the Lu family would go bankrupt within half a year! Do you understand?"

"Enough, sis—you haven't lied enough yet? I don't believe you."

Zheng Bi Yun said: "Anyway, Su Yun Jiao is such a prize—whoever gets her inheritance shows their ability! This time I lost, but next time who knows who'll win or lose?"

After saying that, Zheng Bi Yun casually picked up an ornament from Lu Mu's home, tossed it to her husband, and said: "Jia Cheng, let's go."

Sun Jia Cheng followed beside his wife.

The two left the Lu family home one after another, completely disregarding Lu Mu.

Lu Mu was furious to the point of wanting to die.

How could she have such piggish teammates?

"Madam..."

The servant beside her wanted to step forward to support Lu Mu, but she shoved the hand away and said: "Go watch the young master; for the next few days he's not allowed to go out, not allowed to speak nonsense, and confiscate his phone!"

"Yes, Madam."

The servant quickly went upstairs.

Lu Mu, however, began to feel nervous.

Now Lu Chi already knew about Zheng Bi Yun's situation.

If this gets out…… it will definitely be a scandal for their family!

Here.

Su Yun Jiao was still at Zhou Xian's suburban villa, she kept thinking about what happened this morning, Zhou Tingting walked in holding a glass of milk, and said, "All right, it's fine. How did you manage to escape today? Did Lu Jingqing save you?"

Before, because of Lu Chi, Zhou Tingting's impression of Lu Jingqing was not good.

I didn't expect Lu Jingqing to be this capable.

Su Yun Jiao nodded and then asked, "Lu Chi has already gone back, what about Qin Xue?"
