Chapter 20 (1/2)

Unusual Method

“Looks like I came back at the wrong time.”

Lu Zhen’s tone was calm, as if she was talking about the weather today.

Lu He stopped in his tracks. He looked at his adopted daughter standing by the door. For a moment, he felt that he couldn’t understand Lu Zhen.

Lu He had always thought that he knew his adopted daughter very well. In order to train Lu Zhen’s servility, he often used the carrot and stick approach. This sweet date was naturally Lu Zhen’s yearning for kinship.

Wu Yu couldn’t hide her ruthlessness and disgust for Lu Zhen, so Lu He pretended to be a kind father and occasionally gave Lu Zhen some so-called fatherly love. But now, he felt that his years of honing seemed to be useless. Lu Zhen looked at him as if he was a stranger.

Seeing that her parents didn’t react, Lu Rou suppressed her fear of Lu Zhen’s gaze and took a few steps forward to hold his hand.

“Sister, trust me. I really didn’t want to harm you. If you don’t believe me, can I kowtow to you? Sister, forgive me. I was wrong.”

Lu Rou knelt down towards Lu Zhen as she spoke.

Actually, Lu Rou wanted to put on an act. As long as Lu Zhen subconsciously reached out to help her up, she would get up and ask if Lu Zhen had really forgiven her.

However, Lu Rou didn’t expect that not only did Lu Zhen not move at all, but she also stared at her to see how she would kowtow.

Lu Rou had no choice but to hit her head on the ground.

The floor of the hospital was tiled, unlike some materials that would make a loud noise with a light knock. If Lu Rou didn’t exert force, there wouldn’t be any sound at all.

Finally, after Lu Rou braced herself, she was kowtowed. The sound was muffled, but as long as she made a sound, it proved that Lu Rou’s kowtow wasn’t light.

She had hit her head against the wall earlier. Now, she felt so dizzy she almost fainted.

Wu Yu knew Lu Rou’s plan clearly, so she didn’t stop her. However, she didn’t expect Lu Zhen to force Lu Rou to kowtow for real. This time, Wu Yu couldn’t wait any longer and took a few steps forward to help Lu Rou up.

A second before Wu Yu squatted down, Lu Zhen raised her hand to stop Wu Yu.

“What are you up to?”

“Your sister still has a head wound. I want to help her up.”
