North City, at the end of May, in early summer, there was a thunder outside, and a storm was coming.
In the Lu Family's mansion, there was a gorgeous crystal lamp hanging above the living room, casting a beautiful misty halo.
Old Master Lu held the jade cane's head and sat on the sofa in a dignified manner. He looked sternly at the little girl, who had grown up under his nose since she was a child. He asked in a deep voice, "Girl, tell grandpa the truth. Is what the newspaper said true? Did you really get a room with that scumbag from the Rong family?"
Standing in front of the old man, Mu Tong felt cold all over. He lowered his head and didn't know whether he was shy or ashamed. "Grandpa, things are not what you think... I... I..."
She couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River. As a member of a big family, they stared at her with scrutiny, mocking or watching a good show.
She carefully glanced out of the corner of her eye at the man who was sitting by the side. She felt her scalp go numb.
What should she say? What should she say? Was, was it Second Uncle who stayed with her the whole night?
"Have you ever slept with Rong Jin? This is related to the reputation of our Lu family. You are the granddaughter-in-law of the Lu family, how could you do such a heinous thing?"
The old man was really angry, and his old face was flushed with anger.
Mu Tong's small body shrank back. He gritted his teeth and had no choice but to admit it. "Open..."
"Kneel down!"
Old Master Lu got up from his crutch and turned his back. His voice was old and he was very angry.
"Grandpa..."
Mu Tong raised his head and looked pitifully at the old man who had raised her for eighteen years.
She was abandoned by her parents as soon as she was born. If it weren't for her grandfather's good heart, who brought her back to raise her, she would have been frozen to death in the cold winter.
"I told you to kneel down. Do you hear me?"
Mu Tong held his little hand and his eyes turned red. With a thud, he knelt down.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
The old man turned around with his cane, frowning with extreme heartache. "Child, I always thought that you were very sensible, but I didn't expect that you would carry me and Chengchuan on your back and do such an immoral thing! You and Chengchuan are about to get engaged. How do you want to end this mess?"
Mu Tong sobbed and his tears flowed out. He bit his pink and tender lips and said, "Grandpa, I'm sorry..."
"It's useless for you to say sorry. I'm... like this to you. How can the Lu family marry you and make you your granddaughter-in-law? How can Chengchuan keep you?"
Mu Tong knelt on the ground and moved to Old Master Lu's side. He looked up and grabbed Old Master Lu's arm, begging, "Grandpa, I won't do it again..."
Suddenly, a ruffian's tone could be heard-
"Why don't you dare to ask for it? It's just a matter of a layer of film, isn't it? Why are you so entangled?"
Everyone looked at the owner of the voice. The man was covered in heavy rain, and there was even rain on his white face.
Only the cold man sitting on the other side of the sofa closed the financial report in his hand, and his eyes were cold.
Lu Chengchuan strode in from the door, walked to Mu Tong, and pulled him up.
"Get up, do you need to kneel to him? You did not do anything wrong!"
