Everyone was speechless especially, Lu Xian Yu. They were all looking at the man in front of them in disbelief.
Lu Mengjie was the first to snap out of her trance. She quickly went to stand beside her husband. She may have lied to her mother about Bai Jingye being her husband so she knew that she had some explaining to do but right now, before the news could even reach their ears, she should come clean about her relationship first. Besides, she was going to live with Yong Liwei. She held his arm and as soon as she did, she felt a chill run down her spine. It all came from her father.
"Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you… but can we go inside first?"
Li Bingbing narrowed her eyes. The last time they met, her daughter looked so frail but this time, it was different. Could she perhaps gain her memories back?
"Alright." Lu Xian Yu's lips were tight-sealed when he saw his daughter's closeness to the man beside her.
They all went into the house and headed to the living room. The moment they sat on their seats, it was Lu Mengjie's dad who spoke first by asking, "the last time we met, you said that you don't know where my daughter is and yet you showed up with her at our doorsteps. Yong Liwei, did you just lie to me?"
"I didn't." He glanced at his wife before returning his gaze to Lu Xian Yu. "If you had told me to tell you once I found out, I would have told you the next day."
Lu Xian Yu fumed at his words. He could clearly see that Yong Liwei was playing with his words. He was just like his father, Han Qinshan.
Before blood could be spilled as the two men ended up glaring at each other, Lu Mengjie opened her mouth and spoke, "please don't blame him, dad. I was the one who told him not to tell anyone about where I was."
She hated to lie when it came to her father so she decided not to tell him everything as she intentionally left some information out. "I was mad at you when you grounded me."
Seeing what her daughter was trying to play, Li Bingbing decided to go along. "You've gone too far this time, Mengjie. You should have told us you were fine. The last time you were with Si Hongqi, he said that you disappeared. We all thought that someone had kidnapped you."
Lu Mengjie was glad that her mother was playing along with her. Aside from that, what she said was not entirely wrong since she was indeed kidnapped by an unknown enemy. All she could do at that moment was to apologize to her parents. "I'll give you a call next time, I promise."
"Next time." Lu Xian Yu sneered. "So you plan on disappearing again?"
"That's…" she paused and eyed Yong Liwei as if to ask for help from him. She was going to start living with him after all.
When the man saw the way his wife eyed him, Yong Liwei decided to drop a bomb by saying, "I have already married your daughter. She is now my wife and I will be taking her out of this place."
Everyone was shocked, except for Xia Liqin who just sulked and cursed from his seat. He was still hoping that his father would take out his gun or knife and murder the bastard that married his sister.
Li Bingbing ended up looking at her daughter with confusion since what she knew was that Bai Jingye was her husband. Could she perhaps marry another man too?! Was she going to be the type of woman with many husbands?!!
"I married Yong Liwei, dad, mom." She showed them her ring. It was not part of her plan to tell her parents that she was married to the man beside her but with her husband appearing and the media preparing their articles, she had to tell them first before the news would reach their ears. "We got married in Japan."
"M-married…" Lu Xian Yu was still looking at the couple before him with wide eyes. He was not having a bad dream, right?
"How can you marry someone twice your age? Are you crazy?!" Li Bingbing exclaimed.
"Craziness runs in the family, mom. You married dad." She pouted, crossing her arms. "So what if he's older than me? He looks younger!"
"But will die faster than you," this time, Xia Liqin opened his mouth.
That was not the point but Xia Liqin's words had some truth in them. Despite that, his sister could only glare at him, making him shut his mouth once again.
Lu Xian Yu who was speechless for a while finally snapped out of his trance. He brought his hands together and entwined his fingers as she leaned forward. He had a serious look on his face as he asked, "you married him?" He only wanted to make sure that what he heard was right.
"Yes. I know that we had a big age difference but age doesn't matter when it comes to love."
"Don't listen to her, dad. Yong Liwei is a pedophile, that's why he married Jiejie," Xia Liqin said as he stood and went to his father's side.
"Your sister is already an adult so it doesn't count," Yong Liwei refuted.
Lu Mengjie quickly nodded in agreement at her husband's words. She grabbed his hand and entwined their fingers.
Lu Xian Yu sighed. He turned to his wife and had a helpless look on his face. "What can you say?"
Li Bingbing was awfully quiet. She had a lot of questions to ask her daughter after all. "She is at an age where she can make her own decisions and do whatever she wants."
That's right. Li Bingbing has always been neutral when it comes to her kids and husband. She allowed her children to make their own decisions and she would only remind them that whatever decisions they make, there would always be consequences.
Unlike her, Lu Xian Yu was the opposite. He was strict and he was the one in charge of disciplining their children.
