"Mom, why did you pull me out?" Lei Wu asked. He wanted to go back inside and fight with his grandfather. Ever since he was a child, his grandfather had praised Lei Qian and looked down at him. He sometimes wondered why he was subjected to such treatment, and his father only said that it was because his grandfather looked down at him.
Since he looked down at him, naturally, he looked down at Lei Wu, who was his son.
Why? Just because he was not as skilled as Lei Qian, his grandfather didn't give him a good look? Even if he was not as talented as his cousin, he was not a fool either. He had his own merits. So why couldn't his grandfather look at that a bit more?
"There is no point," said his mother with a scowl. "You can see that the old man is determined to protect that bastard. I should have known it. No matter what Lei Qian does, your grandfather never says anything to him. It's only our second branch that had to suffer."
Second Aunt Lei was really furious. She knew that her father-in-law was biased towards the first branch, but she never thought that he would do such a thing. When her son was the one who played around with women, her father-in-law kept telling their second branch that he would never accept an illegitimate child.
And asked them to control Lei Wu countless times. Because of this, just how many illegitimate children were aborted by her? She didn't dare to give her father-in-law more reasons to hate her son. So even though it made her heart ache, Second Aunt Lei killed those women and the children in their bellies.
Back then, their second branch had to care about the reputation and the respect of the Lei family. But now that Lei Qian had done the same thing as her son, the so-called reputation and history of the Lei family could be thrown aside.
What did it show? It showed that she and her son had no importance in the eyes of her father-in-law. That old man!
Lei Wu also felt upset about the overall situation. But no matter how upset they felt, they certainly could not feel as upset as Old Lady Lei, who was still in the ward. Her mouth was agape as she looked at her husband, who had refused to punish Lei Qian and even let that bitch carry his child!
Old Lady Lei despised women like Bai Meiyue, as they were too hard to control. It was bad enough that she couldn't control Lei Qian; how was she supposed to control someone whose temper was even worse than Lei Qian's? What she wanted was to get Lei Qian married to someone who would be much easier to control.
With a foolish wife by Lei Qian's side, she could tame this bastard much better. How could she allow her plans to go astray!?
"Husband, you have lost your mind," said Old Lady Lei as she glared at Lei Qian. "This boy has lost his marbles. How can he be ceratin that the bastard in that bitch's belly is his own flesh and blood? A woman who got pregnant before marriage?" She scoffed with an eye roll. "She might have opened her legs for more than just him—ARGGHHH!!!"
Old Lady Lei was still speaking when her hair was suddenly set on fire. When Second Uncle Lei saw this, he immediately grabbed the jug of water and dumped it on his mother's head but nothing seemed to be working.
Afraid that Old Lady Wei would be burnt alive, Second Uncle Lei took off his jacket and covered the head of his mother until he was holding her in a chokehold.
He held her like that for more than two minutes, which left Old Lady Lei to cough and splutter. She patted his arm in a hurry, hoping that the man would let her go, but her foolish second son kept holding her in a chokehold.
When Old Master Lei saw the antics of the two idiots, he was speechless. His second son kept blaming him for never letting him take over the Lei corporation when the truth was that he was such a fool that he would sell the company mistakenly in an hour and help the culprit count the money in the next second.
He said to his second son, "Let go of your mother unless you want her to die."
When Second Uncle Lei heard his father's remark, he turned pale and immediately let go of his mother. However, just as he dropped the coat on the floor, he gasped in horror.
Old Lady Lei, who emerged from under the jacket, heard her son's gasp and cried, "What is it? What is it?"
However, Second Uncle Lei didn't say anything.
Seeing this, a sense of foreboding rose in Old Lady Lei's heart, and she touched her head. However, as soon as she touched her head, Old Lady Lei wished she hadn't because in the place where she had lush, thick hair, now there was a smooth plate. Even without looking in the mirror, she knew that Lei Qian had turned her bald!
"You!" Old lady Lei turned to look at her grandson and scolded him viciously, "Is this how you are supposed to treat your elders? Is this what your mother taught you? How can you be so unfilial!?" She could naturally not blame her own son, so she blamed her daughter-in-law.
Lei Qian curled his lips. However, his smile never reached his eyes. He looked at his grandmother and said to her, "Grandma, humanity has fallen. Who cares about being filial or not? Even if I kill you here and now, who do you think will punish me?"
Old Lady Lei, who was going on and on a scolding spree, turned quiet when she heard Lei Qian's threat. She stepped back and spoke with a tremor, "You..You wouldn't dare!"
