Crazy Wife: Mr. Lu, Fight Me if You Dare!

Chapter 260: A Great Mass (2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

So many people saw her mingling with that wild man. If this reputation spreads, who from a decent family would dare to marry her?

If she stayed pure and if Old Madam Lu chipped in some family wealth as her dowry, and then used some connections, it would have been a breeze for her to marry into a family with a good background.

Now, she had a good hand but played it poorly, and she was resorting to asking for help?

But there was really no way for her to ask for help.

Old Madam Lu was actually quite disappointed. What Chen Kexin did was not just a spur-of-the-moment act; it was a well-planned scheme. Otherwise, how could she have perfectly timed her intrusion into the bridal chamber when Jiang Yining wasn’t there?

But Old Madam Lu knew nothing about these things.

She had cherished Chen Kexin like a granddaughter, yet Chen Kexin took her for a fool.

How could Old Madam Lu not be angry?

Chen Kexin continued to cry in silence.

Old Madam Lu said, “Kexin, once the wedding is over, I will send you abroad to study. You should stay there for a few years, keep a low profile, and when the dust has settled on this matter, you can return. I will find another suitable match for you.”

Old Madam Lu spoke in a commanding tone, without any intention of negotiation.

With tear-streaked cheeks, Chen Kexin replied, “Grandmother, I only want Ah Zhi. I don’t want to marry someone else…”

“Your innocence has been compromised. How can you marry Ah Zhi now?”

Old Madam Lu couldn’t hold back her frustration and rebuked her.

Chen Kexin felt a sharp pain at the criticism. “Grandmother, do you think I’m impure? It’s not what I wanted. Jiang Yining set me up!”

“Even now, you still don’t seem to understand the situation,” Old Madam Lu tried to explain, breaking it down for her. “Regardless of whether this was a setup by Jiang Yining or not, nobody cares about your innocence! Do you think that every woman married into prestigious families is pure? No, not all of them are. But they don’t parade their private lives in front of others! Even if they had relationships before marriage, they make sure to leave no evidence behind after marriage to avoid giving others any grounds to gossip!”

“Kexin, you’ve lost your purity in front of so many people. If Ah Zhi married you, people would mock him and ridicule the entire Lu family every time they mentioned you. Where would that leave the century-old reputation of the Lu family?”

Old Madam Lu delivered all this in one breath, then paused for a few seconds before stating firmly, “There’s no possibility left for you and Ah Zhi. You’ve personally severed the last strand of hope. If you had discussed it with me earlier, we wouldn’t have reached this point.”

Chen Kexin was in despair.

“I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid you wouldn’t agree… Grandmother…”

“It’s too late for all that now. You’re still young, and there’s plenty of opportunity for a fresh start. Listen to my words, Kexin,” Old Madam Lu said, unable to completely let go of her.

Even at this point, she was paving the way for her to start anew.

Chen Kexin shook her head through her tears.

No…

She wouldn’t leave.

Jiang Yining had caused her to become like this. How could she leave?

Furthermore, she didn’t care about the hundred-year reputation of the Lu family!

She only wanted Ah Zhi!

As long as Lu Zhi didn’t mind her past.

Chen Kexin harbored wild thoughts but didn’t reveal a word of them to Old Madam Lu. She knew that, regardless of Old Madam Lu’s affection for her, once it involved the Lu family’s foundation, she would unquestionably stand with the Lu family.

She wouldn’t support herself.

Old Madam Lu, seeing Chen Kexin’s stubbornness, didn’t wish to expend more words. “Calm down and think clearly. I’m going to rest now,” she said before leaving behind two servants.

Chen Kexin had cried until her tears ran dry. She sat on the ground, dazed, for a while, and then slowly got up and headed towards the bathroom.

She didn’t even take her clothes off. Instead, she turned on the cold water.

She let the icy water wash away the traces on her body.

The two servants, seeing that she didn’t come out for a long time, turned pale, fearing she might do something drastic and create a scene. In their apprehension, they pushed each other, deciding who should check on her.

The bathroom door clicked open.

Chen Kexin walked out, drenched, and gave them a ghostly glare before proceeding outside on her own.

“Miss Kexin, it’s so late. Where are you going?”

“I’m going to settle scores with someone. None of you are allowed to follow me, or I’ll commit suicide for you to watch,” Chen Kexin threatened.

The maids, who had taken a step forward, quickly retreated.

Chen Kexin paid them no attention and left on her own.

She was going to hold Gu Zhanqing accountable!

That man had deceived her with sweet words, causing her to lose her innocence.

If she couldn’t find peace, she wouldn’t allow others to either!

Chen Kexin, filled with anger, rushed to Gu Zhanqing’s door and pounded on it.

“Gu Zhanqing, come out! You have the guts to conspire against me with your niece but not the guts to confront me?” Chen Kexin had a realization.

Chen Kexin came to a realization.

Gu Zhanqing was Jiang Yining’s blood uncle, so there was no way he would assist her. She understood that he had been in league with her from the start, setting a trap for her. She berated herself for falling for his deceptive words.

With this revelation, Chen Kexin pounded on the door even harder.

Bang, bang, bang!

The wooden door was on the verge of developing holes.

Finally…

Gu Zhanqing opened it from the inside, gazing at her coldly, and asked, “It’s so late. What are you doing here?”

“Why? Do you still have the nerve to ask me?” Chen Kexin exclaimed hysterically. “Gu Zhanqing, you’ve made me suffer so much! I want to kill you!”

She drew a fruit knife from her back and rushed towards Gu Zhanqing, attempting to stab him.

But Gu Zhanqing raised his leg and kicked her to the ground.

Chen Kexin got up, ready to make another attempt.

In a cold tone, Gu Zhanqing remarked, “No wonder you, who grew up with Lu Zhi, couldn’t compete with Jiang Yining after spending a few months with him. You’re so foolish that it’s repulsive. No man would ever like you.”

“I don’t need you to like me!” Chen Kexin shouted.

“If you don’t expect me to like you, then what about Lu Zhi?” Gu Zhanqing articulated each word deliberately. “Chen Kexin, the reason the plan failed tonight isn’t because of me, but because of you. If you had realized in time that the person you were with wasn’t Lu Zhi and had distanced yourself earlier, you wouldn’t have ended up in such an embarrassing situation..”
