How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 525 The Useless Female Supporting Character's Sword Master Mother (28 pages)
Li Qingfeng's expression changed swiftly.

He seemed to have forgotten the earlier disagreement and even offered to treat everyone and pay the bill.

It was as if he wasn't the one who had just mocked Secretary Wang for being unsophisticated.

Secretary Wang's lips twitched as he read this.

I wondered why I hadn't noticed before that this guy was someone who could change his mind faster than flipping through a book.
"You don't need to..."

Secretary Wang was trying to expose Li Qingfeng's hypocrisy.

As it turned out, Mingmiao beat her to it.

Her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched into fists as she earnestly clarified:
"You've misunderstood. Young Master Lu and I aren't family; at most, we're just acquaintances."

Li Qingfeng stood there awkwardly, unsure of how to respond.

Lu Xiu, however, froze slightly before sighing helplessly.

He spoke as if he were dealing with a naughty, unruly little sister, gently scolding her:
"Sixth Sister, don't say such hurtful things."

"I wasn't just saying that out of anger."

Mingmiao met Lu Xiu's gaze directly.

“I am not surnamed Lu, nor am I the sixth child of the Lu family, much less your sixth sister. Second Young Master Lu, let’s draw a clear line between us from now on, so as not to cause any more misunderstandings.”

Lu Xiu remained silent for a long time, then suddenly asked:

Are you blaming us?

Mingmiao shook her head decisively:

"No, I've just come to terms with reality. I wasn't born into the Lu family, so why should I blame anyone?"

She said this calmly.

But to Lu Xiu, it sounded more like he was deliberately being difficult.

"Sixth sister... oh no, Mingmiao sister, I know you feel wronged, but you will always be a child of the Lu family, and I believe that Fourth Uncle and the others think so too."

The fourth uncle and fourth aunt mentioned by Lu Xiu are Mingmiao's adoptive parents, the lords of a city in Xizhou.

Because of his words, Mingmiao suddenly recalled the scene of the day she left—

Knowing she was leaving, her loving parents didn't come to see her off, nor did they say a single word of advice.

They were busy all day preparing for Lu Zhuangzhuang's birthday banquet and had no time to pay attention to her.

Although Mingmiao knew this was perfectly reasonable.

The parents were not her parents, but Lu Zhuangzhuang's parents.

She was nothing more than a thief who stole someone's life, and she deserved to end up like this.

but……

She was still in excruciating pain, like a stray dog ​​that had been abandoned.

Fortunately, she is no longer in pain.

“Young Master Lu, Lu Xiu, I think if we’re going to break up, we should do it cleanly. From now on, let’s just pretend we’re strangers.”

Mingmiao turned to leave.

Lu Xiu reached out to pull her, but Zhu Wen beat him to it.

Zhu Wen supported Mingmiao's shoulders and pushed her into the dessert shop.
"Have you forgotten that we're going to eat crispy mountain? Even if we encounter some tactless people, don't let it ruin our mood."

Mingmiao was taken aback.

Lu Xiu's gaze then fell on Zhu Wen:

"Who is your Excellency?"

He found himself unable to fathom Zhu Wen's realm.

In this situation, either Zhu Wen is a mortal, or Zhu Wen's strength is greater than his.

However, Zhu Wen looked very young and didn't have the aura of a powerful and unfathomable figure.

Lu Xiu's eyes became somewhat suspicious as he looked back and forth between Zhu Wen and Ming Miao.

Mingmiao, who had already calmed down, was instantly provoked by that look.

She rushed over and stood in front of Zhu Wen:

"She's the older sister I adopted from outside the family!"

The way Lu Xiu looked at her was as if she were looking at an enemy.

Zhu Wenle nodded with a smile, pleased that Mingmiao was protecting him.

Lu Xiu frowned in displeasure:

“Mingmiao, you’ve been protected by your whole family since you were little, and you’ve hardly ever left the house. You’ve never seen the dangers of this world, so how would you know how complicated people are? Come here quickly.”

"I do not want!"

Mingmiao's emotions were even more intense than before.

It seemed that Zhu Wen's matter was more exciting for her than her connection with the Lu family.

Lu Xiu's expression darkened, and his entire body trembled with spiritual energy. This was a sign that he was about to make a move.

Zhu Wen saw it all.

After that, she glanced at Secretary Wang casually.

Secretary Wang immediately understood and stepped forward:

"Don't pretend I don't exist."

He struck with lightning speed!

Lu Xiu lived up to his reputation as the pride of the Lu family and immediately responded calmly.

He quickly discovered how difficult Secretary Wang was to deal with.

But he remained calm and tried to find a flaw in Secretary Wang's statement.

This is his style. Although he is young, he is meticulous and can discover details that ordinary people cannot. As a result, he can always stay in the second half of the battle and then defeat his opponent in one fell swoop.

This time was no different; Lu Xiu proceeded steadily and flawlessly.

In comparison, Secretary Wang was much more impatient.

This is probably the stylistic difference between formal clan schools and unorthodox schools.

It was clear that Secretary Wang was gradually losing ground.

An invisible stream of light gracefully landed on Secretary Wang.

Secretary Wang seemed to have his extraordinary meridians opened up, and his whole body became enlightened.

In his perception, Lu Xiu's movements became infinitely slow, and the previously inconspicuous flaws became as bright as torches, making them difficult for him to ignore!

boom!
Secretary Wang threw a powerful punch, which struck Lu Xiu squarely in the lower ribs.

Lu Xiu grunted and staggered back several steps, his breathing becoming erratic.

He clutched his wound, staring at Secretary Wang in disbelief.

Secretary Wang remained calm and composed.
"Are you coming again?"

Lu Xiu didn't understand.

He had clearly gained the upper hand and even saw the opponent's weakness.

Why did this person suddenly turn the tables as if possessed by a god, winning in the blink of an eye?

He glanced at Zhu Wen instinctively and blurted out:

"You helped him!"

This kid is pretty perceptive.

Zhu Wen clicked his tongue:
"Do you have evidence?"

Lu Xiu, of course, had no evidence.

This was just his intuition.

Zhu Wen could tell at a glance:
"No evidence means you can't accept defeat?"

Lu Xiu would naturally not admit to this:
"……of course not."

He replied, feeling frustrated.

Zhu Wen waved his hand dismissively:

"Since that's not it, then get lost. You're an eyesore."

Lu Xiu lowered his head and remained silent.

Li Qingfeng, who was standing next to him, wanted to say something, but he was pulled back.

"let's go."

Lu Xiu left quietly.

Before turning completely away, he couldn't help but look back and saw Mingmiao—

The sixth sister, who used to be well-behaved and sensible and would always come to ask him all sorts of questions about cultivation, now didn't even glance at him. Instead, she looked at the person beside her who claimed to be her older sister with eyes full of admiration and affection.

He had seen that look in his eyes many times before, but just now, all his sixth sister saw in him was incomprehension and indifference.

Perhaps, as she said, if you're going to cut ties, you should cut them off cleanly.

She did it.

But what about him?

For some reason, Lu Xiu recalled his past self, who wasn't actually that patient when faced with his sixth sister's various questions.

On the contrary, he seriously wondered why Mingmiao, who was incapable of cultivation and was considered a waste, would bother asking him these questions and wasting his time.
"...Serves him right."

He heard himself mutter a curse under his breath.

Then, he left dejectedly.

Not far away, Mingmiao glanced over as if she sensed something.

He quickly looked away.
