Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 705 - 704 Can you keep quiet for a while!

Lu Zheng did not sit down. He stood tall, looking down from above at Fang Youlan, who was seated on the sofa, and coldly questioned her:

"What gives you the right to decide to give Lin Xia Fetal Exchange Medicine? Even if my wife is carrying a girl, what of it? That would still be my daughter, Lu Zheng’s daughter!"

It did not matter who it was, even if it was his own grandmother, trying to harm his child was unacceptable!

Fang Youlan’s heart seethed with anger due to Lu Zheng’s relentless questioning.

But she did not want to clash with him; she knew she could never win an argument against this heartless man.

With a heartfelt plea, she said, "Lu Zheng! For whom is grandma doing all this? Isn’t it all for you?

Your parents only have you as their child. If Lin Xia gives you a daughter, would you be able to give up your career for an additional child?"

Even if her grandson himself agreed, she couldn’t do it! Her grandson would certainly go further than the eldest!

"You don’t have to do anything for me! I can’t bear it!" Lu Zheng laughed coldly, "Even the doctors dare not confirm it so easily, so how can you, based solely on a child’s words, insistently claim that my wife is definitely carrying a daughter!"

Never before had he so clearly realized how ignorant and foolish his grandmother was!

"Lu Zheng, you don’t understand! Children’s eyes can see... You know about the Sun Family in the compound, their..." Fang Youlan tried to explain that her judgment was not unfounded speculation.

Lu Zheng waved his hand impatiently to stop her: "Stop talking! I don’t want to listen! Whether it’s a son or daughter, they are my children!

I’ve come today to warn you in person: if you try to harm my child again, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life! I will also disown you and never set foot in your house again! I mean what I say!"

He knew his grandmother’s nature well, – she was a person who would never give up until she achieved her goal.

He did not believe that she would easily give up her scheming just because of Lin Xia’s disobedience and Grandpa’s scolding.

Seeing that Lu Zheng was serious, Fang Youlan was grievously aggrieved: "How can you not understand your grandma’s good intentions? What have I done all this for?"

The reason she did so was the fear that Lu Zheng, without an heir, would have no sons in the end. What would he do when he got old?

To put it bluntly, he wouldn’t even have someone to carry on his funeral rites!

Lu Zheng was unmoved by Fang Youlan’s teary eyes. On the contrary, the anger he’d been suppressing since he entered the door burst forth:

"How can I understand you? Follow your advice and let my wife take Fetal Exchange Medicine? Who has gone mad, us or you?

That Fetal Exchange Medicine is just a charlatan’s trick; besides not being able to change gender, it could harm the child!

You’re not illiterate at your age, don’t you even understand this basic common sense..."

"Why are you shouting at me?" Fang Youlan retorted with reddened eyes, "Did Lin Xia tell you all this? You can’t just listen to her side of the story! What does she know at her young age? She made excuses because she didn’t want to drink it! Saying the child would be neither male nor female! Impossible!"

Lu Guangqi, leaning on a cane, arrived with Lu Shuhui just in time to find Lu Zheng and Fang Youlan fiercely at odds with each other.

Both had watched Lu Zheng grow up and had never seen him so angry and out of control.

Lu Guangqi hurried over, hobbling, and grasped Lu Zheng’s arm to calm him: "Xiaozheng! Calm down! Don’t be angry with your grandma! She has become senile!"

Unexpectedly, Lu Guangqi’s last words hit a nerve.

Fang Youlan yelled furiously: "Lu Guangqi! Who are you calling senile? You’re the one who’s senile!"

Lu Guangqi, frustrated by Fang Youlan’s rambling and unreasonable behavior, turned blue and red with anger. He raised his hand, wishing he could slap her to wake her up from her stubbornness!

Fang Youlan was shocked as she watched Lu Guangqi raise his arm to strike someone; throughout the many years they’d been together, he had never so much as laid a finger on her.

Among women of her age, who hadn’t been beaten by their mothers-in-law or husbands? She was indeed the only one!

But today, Lu Guangqi was actually about to hit her over some trivial matter!

"You want to hit me?" Fang Youlan charged at Lu Guangqi with her head, fueled by emotion, "Go on then! Hit me! Hit me to death!"

Lu Guangqi, who was using a cane with one hand, nearly stumbled from her impact.

It was Lu Zheng who quickly stepped in to steady him.

Lu Shuhui had also been stunned by her father’s actions, but once she regained her senses, she hurriedly wrapped her arms around Fang Youlan’s waist and pulled her back.

"Ah! Let go of me! Let him hit me! I want to see if he can beat me to death!" Fang Youlan struggled uncontrollably.

Lu Shuhui’s tone was harsh, "Mom! Can’t you stop making a scene? Isn’t this messy enough for you?"

She felt like her head was about to explode. What on earth was all this?!

While everyone else was enjoying the festivity of the New Year in harmony, why was her family starting a feud?

"Don’t meddle! Let’s see how he hits me! Release me!" Fang Youlan cried out, clawing at Lu Shuhui’s fingers with her able right hand, trying to break free from her grasp.

Lu Zheng watched the unfolding drama, finding it both sad and laughable.

Lu Shuhui, truly angry, flung Fang Youlan onto the sofa and yelled pointing at her, "Mom! Can’t you be a little calmer? Do you want the whole neighborhood to come watch our family’s spectacle?

If that’s what you want, I’ll go outside and shout for everybody to come and see right now!"

Fang Youlan, who was extremely concerned about face, how could she possibly want others to witness her family’s disgrace?

Especially now, when the New Year was upon them and many families had relatives over. It was fortunate that their housekeeper had gone back to her hometown for the New Year; otherwise, the disputes in their home could have spread at any moment.

Lu Guangqi’s temper also cooled down after Fang Youlan was subdued by Lu Shuhui, and he apologized to her.

The commotion ended, and Lu Zheng tried to leave, but Lu Guangqi insisted that he stay for dinner, "Xiaozheng! I know you’re upset, but you’ve come back after such a long time; have a meal with me, will you?"

Lu Zheng wanted to refuse.

But after thinking it over, he didn’t want to bring Lin Xia here to celebrate the New Year on New Year’s Eve, so he agreed to his grandfather’s request, "Alright!"

Lu Shuhui hurried to cook, and Fang Youlan went to help.

Lu Guangqi and Lu Zheng, the grandfather-grandson duo, chatted in the living room.

However, during the meal, seeing the atmosphere relax, Fang Youlan couldn’t help bringing up that many people had sons after taking Fetal Exchange Medicine!

Lu Zheng, suppressing his volatile emotions, put down his rice bowl and laughed bitterly, "Who told you that? Have you seen anyone taking medicine and having a son with your own eyes?"

Fang Youlan suddenly lost her confidence, "Well, no! But your great-aunt heard it from someone who was very convincing, it can’t be fake!"

Lu Guangqi quickly asked, "Who did she hear it from? You old ladies always believe whatever you hear; maybe you’ve been deceived!"

"That’s impossible! Although she’s not close to that person, she said..." Fang Youlan began to recount the events to Lu Zheng and the others.

As Lu Zheng listened, he began to detect the scent of a conspiracy...
