"Yuchen... you are finally back..."
Seeing Lu Yuchen, Zhuo Yarong stood up immediately.
She still had an ice towel in her hand, but she didn't apply it on her face so that Lu Yuchen would see the redness and swelling on her face when he came back.
As a result, the face, which was originally well-maintained, became high on one side and low on the other.
The side of his face, which was slapped by Shen Zi, was terribly red and swollen.
"Yuchen..." Zhuo Yarong felt wronged and walked up to hold Master Lu, "Look, my face is so swollen. That man was too ruthless. You have to help me get justice."
Master Lu frowned, "Why is it so swollen? Please apply it for a while longer."
After saying that, he took the ice towel from Zhuo Yarong's hand.
Mr. Lu pulled her to sit down and personally applied a facial mask to Zhuo Yarong.
"Alas, I've been applying it for a long time, but it hasn't worn off yet. Yuchen, Mom has suffered a great loss this time, you can't let the person who bullied Mom go."
Zhuo Yarong let Lu Yuchen apply the facial mask on her, but her slender eyes observed Lu Yuchen's expression from time to time.
I felt relieved when I saw that he didn't realize I was lying.
She didn't mean to frame Xinluo or anything, it was just that she was slapped in the face by Shen Zi, and Zhuo Yarong was afraid that her son would not settle the score with Shen Zi because of Xinluo.
Therefore, she deliberately let Yu Chen misunderstand that Shen Zi hit her particularly hard. Even after applying an ice towel to her face, the redness and swelling on her face did not go away.
Sure enough, when Lu Yuchen applied the ice pack to Zhuo Yarong's face, he found that her face was still swollen after the ice pack, and her complexion was even colder than before.
"What happened? Who did it?" His voice was very cold, with a hint of chilliness, like an ice spike being bitten through.
The person who dared to do such a cruel thing to Zhuo Yarong is most likely from Lu Huanting's side.
Thinking of this, his ink-like eyes were filled with undercurrents.
Zhuo Yarong felt the chill emanating from Lu Yuchen, her eyelashes trembled unconsciously, and she avoided his gaze guiltily.
"This... I find it unbelievable, it was... it was Xinluo's mother. Her mother came suddenly and started beating me up when she saw me!"
Zhuo Yarong thought that after hearing what she said, even if Lu Yuchen was not angry, he would at least pull her aside to ask her everything.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt the atmosphere in the living room suddenly become cold.
Lu Yuchen said nothing, no accusations, no questions.
Zhuo Yarong felt very upset. She raised her eyes quietly and met a pair of dark and cold eyes.
"Yuchen..." She was startled, and her heart beat faster and faster. "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Yuchen didn't answer. The curve of his lips was deeper than before, and the coldness in his eyes was even stronger.
He suddenly stood up and threw the towel in his hand onto the marble floor.
“Yuchen…!” Zhuo Yarong was really frightened this time and looked at her son with a pale face.
Lu Yuchen slowly turned his head and looked down at her.
The icy eyes were so indifferent that it didn't seem like he was looking at a loved one.
"Yuchen, you...what's wrong with you...you...don't scare mom, just say whatever you want to say, don't be like this..."
"What? Once I open my mouth, besides exposing your lie, I can only ask you why you went to the hospital to harass Xinluo. I remember I said very clearly when I left the hotel that you were not allowed to go and harass her."
Mr. Lu spoke the last few words very slowly.
"Mom, you challenge my bottom line again and again. Tell me, are you dissatisfied with me and Xinluo? Do you want to force us away?"
"No, of course not!" Zhuo Yarong panicked and grabbed her son, "Mom didn't go to disturb her. I went to give her chicken soup. I just care about Xinluo and the baby in her belly. I don't know what's wrong with Shen Zi. She slapped me as soon as she came."
