Can't Take My Eyes Off You (WN)
chapter-1503

“Did you say that your cousin is the other man?” Jiang Yao rolled her eyes at Lu Xingzhi’s cousin.

Jiang Yao was not familiar with Mrs. Lu’s relatives, as she did not seem to have much contact with the relatives of her family. However, Jiang Yao knew a little about Li Qing, but it was because of Li Qing’s name.

It was taboo to marry someone with the same surname, especially among relatives. None of them liked to have the same name too. When Lu Yuqing was born, Mrs. Lu named her daughter because she had read a poem that she liked very much.

It was about 20 years ago, and not many families named their daughter with such a refined and elegant name.

Many people praised Lu Yuqing’s name. They said that the parents were knowledgeable, so they could give such lovely names to their children.

Later, Mrs. Lu’s second sister-in-law also gave birth to a daughter and insisted on giving her the name Li Yuqing. When Mrs. Lu found out about it, she was so angry that she went back to her mother’s house and caused an uproar. Later, her second sister-in-law changed the name to Li Qing, but Mrs. Lu was still furious.

Her second sister-in-law even said that her daughter’s name came from a poem she had read. She even recited the poem to them.

The naming incident caused Mrs. Lu to hold a grudge against her second brother and second sister-in-law. If she had not registered Lu Yuqing’s name, she would have changed her daughter’s name!

“Jiang Yao, who do you think you are talking to?”

Mrs. Li immediately stood up to protect her daughter.

“What? Am I wrong? She has to call me Cousin-in-law. Do I have to use honorifics with her? She’s also very rude. How did she speak to her aunt just now?” Jiang Yao’s temper flared; she was not a gentle person anyway. She did not think she needed to be polite to people she did not like.

Furthermore, the other party had slandered her. Did they think they could bully her?

“Did Xiao Qing say something wrong? Are you saying that you did nothing wrong? Didn’t you lie to your family? Are you still saying that you followed your teacher to the countryside?” Mrs. Li spat shamelessly.

“Forget it; no one wants to hear your lies. Your grandmother went to your school to look for you, but she couldn’t find you. Instead, she found out that you hadn’t been to school at all this semester, and no teachers went to the countryside! If you weren’t with another man, where were you?”

“Since when is it someone else’s turn to teach my wife a lesson?”

Lu Xingzhi had put down their luggage and came downstairs with a gloomy face. Then, he turned to Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu. “Dad, Mom, Yaoyao have been with me all this while. As for why we lied to you and what we did, we’ll explain it to you alone when there are no outsiders.”

Lu Xingzhi emphasized the word outsiders. When he said that, his gaze fell on the mother-and-daughter duo.

He sneered.

Lu Xingzhi knew from a young age that his family did not like those two people. It was not only because of his sister’s name but also because of what happened after that.
