Chapter 827: Chapter 827: Harm and Miscalculation Chapter 827: Chapter 827: Harm and Miscalculation Over the phone, I recounted the entirety of today’s events, including, “I won’t hide it from Elder Lu; I fell ill a few days ago and only began to feel better yesterday. Had it not been for Elder Lu’s personal call, I wouldn’t have faced this surgery.
During the latter half of the surgery, my student Luo Qiao took over. I’m not asking for the Lu Family to be exceedingly grateful, but they shouldn’t be disrespectful after the fact either. I hope Elder Lu can provide an explanation for my student and ensure that the young miss doesn’t trouble my student in the future.”
After hearing Professor Chang Huaide’s words, Elder Lu’s dissatisfaction with his prospective granddaughter-in-law, Chu Yue, only increased. Wasn’t her drama today just to find out if her grandson would become a burden on her in the future?
Originally, when the marriage was arranged, the eldest son’s wife was reluctant, but due to face-saving reasons and knowing the Chu Family thoroughly, he thought that the younger generation shouldn’t be too different in their upbringing. But he never expected that the Chu Family would produce such an anomaly as Chu Yue.
She spent all her time meddling with that girl from the Luo Family, probably hoping to emulate the Luo girl, who, unlike the Lu Family, was not yet formally engaged. At least, they had yet to finalize anything.
This woman of poor character definitely couldn’t be accepted by the Lu Family. Narrowing his eyes, he thought that this was a good opportunity to have the Chu Family initiate the breakup. Thus, he summoned someone to his side and whispered a few instructions.
After nodding, the person quickly left.
Meanwhile, the Lu Family patriarch also called the Chu Family patriarch and recounted the day’s events at the hospital, causing the Chu Family patriarch’s face to flush with embarrassment, and he repeatedly said he would properly discipline Chu Yue once she returned home.
The very next day, rumors had it that Lu Haijun, the grandson of the Lu Family, might never recover to his former condition, remaining a walking medicine jar even if he improved.
Chu Yue, who had been scolded at home the previous day, immediately objected upon hearing these rumors, throwing a fit at home and demanding to break off the engagement. When the Chu Family sent people to the hospital and learned that Lu Haijun had yet to awaken that morning, they assumed the rumors were true.
The Chu Family patriarch refused the breakup, stating that without trust, nobody would believe in the Chu Family. However, three days later, Chu Yue secretly left home with the engagement token from the past and sought out the Lu Family.
Elder Lu initially disagreed, but Chu Yue was aggressively demanding, blaming the Lu Family for ruining her life, calling them selfish, and stating that a forced melon isn’t sweet. Only after Chu Yue personally wrote the breakup letter, did Elder Lu exchange the family tokens back, effectively ending their relationship with her.
The Lu Family happened to have guests over, and Elder Lu took this opportunity to spread the news through them. That very afternoon, the Chu Family arrived at the Lu Family’s doorstep, apologizing and wanting to retrieve the engagement token, but Elder Lu feigned ignorance.
No matter what, he no longer recognized the union and said that since it was called off, it’s called off, but maintained that friendly relations should still exist and urged them not to make it difficult for the younger generation.
The Chu Family members had no choice but to return home in discontent, with the Chu Family’s reputation tarnished due to Chu Yue’s cancellation of the engagement. Chu Yue’s already poor reputation suffered even more.
The affairs of the Lu and Chu Families were originally irrelevant to Luo Qiao. However, Chu Yue, feeling as though she had lost face outside the operating room that day, had people follow Luo Qiao for several days.
They planned an ambush on Luo Qiao’s usual route, intending to ruin her, but things did not go as planned. Not only did they fail to teach her a lesson, but they also brought shame upon themselves and the Chu Family.
As soon as Luo Qiao turned her bike into the alley not far from the second courtyard, she sensed something was off. Three thugs appeared ahead, smirking crudely and making inappropriate comments.
Luo Qiao quickly deduced that these people were sent by that girl, and as she parked her bike, she heard one of them say, “Girl, if you behave, maybe you’ll suffer less. But if you act foolishly, don’t blame us brothers for hurting your pretty little face.”
Luo Qiao disdainfully asked, “What did Miss Chu promise you?”
The leader replied, “Shout all you want, but it sounds like you’re not foolish. We’re just trying to make a living here. Since you’ve offended Miss Chu, just accept your fate.”
After finishing his sentence, he raised his left hand, and a crowd of people surprisingly surrounded Luo Qiao from behind.
Unfortunately for them, they underestimated Luo Qiao. In a matter of minutes, all of them were down on the ground, wailing in pain.
