Then I saw an unusually young man standing on the stairs behind Lu Qingtang. He was wearing a black windbreaker, had a handsome face, pale skin, and slightly long black hair that faintly covered his eyebrows. His facial features were delicate and beautiful, and very cold.

Everyone who saw him couldn't help but feel a chill.

The man stared at the wound on Lu Qingtang's cheek. His eyes were dark and cold, yet there was something else in his gaze. "Miss Lu, when you encounter a situation that is unfavorable to you, do you always choose to fight hard?"

Lu Qingtang's lips curled up into a bright smile, her eyebrows and eyes arrogant, "I am happy to do this, what does it have to do with you?"

Lu Wensheng didn't confront her head-on, but did Lu Erya let her go because of that?

In front of this group of vicious trash, even the slightest concession might cause them to pounce on her impatiently and devour her until nothing was left!

"Or..." Lu Qingtang gently stroked the bloody knife in his hand, a dazzling smile of excitement slowly appearing on his face, "Do you still want to try again and see the consequences of confronting me head-on?"

The man frowned, and the aura around him became even more gloomy.

When the Lu family saw this scene, they were both frightened and had a hint of expectation. They hoped that the fifth young master of the Xiao family could help them teach Lu Wensheng a lesson!

Lu Erya waited for a moment, and seeing that the man had no intention of fighting Lu Qingtang, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.

She walked over gracefully and said softly, "Fifth brother, let me introduce you, this is Sheng'er."

He looked at Lu Qingtang again, with the corners of his mouth raised, his tone unable to hide his vanity and boasting, "Sheng'er, this is my fifth brother."

"The Thorne family he comes from is a prominent family abroad, and their family business spans across North America."

"You came to Qincheng this time specifically to find me..."

Thorne!

A glimmer of light flashed in Lu Qingtang's eyes, and she remembered a family that Wen Qingyan had mentioned to her.

She remembered again the lingering, vague sense of familiarity she had with the man in the car in the video.

Could it be... that she had really met the person behind the scenes? !

Lu Qingtang's face darkened slightly, and he began to carefully recall the information about the Thorne family.

Seeing that Lu Qingtang had a cold face and didn't speak, Lu Erya thought that she was sad and angry, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her delicate mouth.

She looked at Lu Qingtang, her expression revealing a hint of condescending charity and mockery, "Sheng'er, don't worry, the Lu family is yours. Brother won't fight with you for it, and neither will I."

She walked back to Mrs. Lu and patted her back gently, "Mom, don't be angry."

"Sheng'er grew up in an orphanage and felt insecure. It's inevitable that she values ​​money more than anything else, which is why she wants the inheritance rights of the Lu family."

"It doesn't matter if Lu gives it to Sheng'er."

"Whatever my brother wants, whatever you and grandma want, I can satisfy you in the future..."

"Please don't be angry with Sheng'er, okay?"

These words are almost blatant boasting.

She was telling Lu Qingtang clearly that even if she schemed and obtained the inheritance rights of the Lu family, what would it matter?

The things that she had to work so hard to get were just within her reach for Lu Erya!

She was always the high and mighty daughter of a wealthy family, and she, Lu Wensheng——

I will always be stepped on by her in this life!

When Mrs. Lu heard what Lu Erya said, she glared at Lu Qingtang with even more resentment.

She gently touched Lu Erya's hand, looked at Lu Qingtang, and said viciously, "Erya, you are sensible. Unlike Lu Wensheng, that inhuman little beast, she only makes me angry..."

The Lu family also followed suit and complimented.

"Madam is right. Compared to Miss Erya, Lu Wensheng is simply an ungrateful person!"

"A little bastard who was brought back from outside actually wanted the position of heir to the Lu family right away. How could she be worthy of it!"

"Er Ya, your biological father is so powerful, so you should quickly find a way to take the inheritance rights of the Lu family back from Lu Wensheng. How can Lu Wensheng, an outsider, be worthy of inheriting the Lu family?!"

"Bah! Even if Lu Wensheng relied on his shamelessness to obtain the inheritance rights of the Lu family, so what? Sister Erya's biological father's family is much more powerful than the entire Lu clan. Isn't Lu Wensheng an inferior in front of Sister Erya?!"

"That's right. I thought I could kick Sister Erya out just because I became the heir to the Lu family. I didn't expect that Sister Erya's biological father was from a family even more powerful than the Lu family... This is a typical case of trying to harm someone but ended up making myself an even bigger joke!"

"She wasn't born to be a rich lady, yet she still has to struggle. How pitiful and sad..."

Lu Qingtang was originally concentrating on thinking about the Thorne family, when she heard the noisy voices of these people buzzing in her ears.

She lifted her eyelids impatiently, revealing dark and cold almond-shaped eyes.

Lu Erya had been observing Lu Qingtang's expression. When she saw her breath suddenly turn cold and her expression changed, she quickly hid behind Madam Lu, tears in her eyes and a face full of horror as she said, "Sheng'er, you took away the inheritance rights of the Lu family, and you harbor resentment towards Mom and Grandma..."

"You don't want to care about them, but they raised me so carefully, I can't just ignore them."

"Don't be angry..."

Lu Qingtang listened to Lu Erya's affected voice and thought to himself, this Fifth Young Master has already appeared, and there are bigger fish already. Lu Erya's existence doesn't seem to be that important anymore...

Then just chop her to pieces!

Kill him now, even keeping him alive for one more second would be a mercy on her part!

Lu Qingtang slowly put down the knife in his hand, the bloody tip of the knife touched the ground, and looked up at Lu Erya, his eyes became fierce and cold.

When Lu Erya met Lu Qingtang's eyes, she felt as if she was being stared at by some terrifying creature at the top of the pyramid.

In that instant, her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

This breath—

Lu Erya's eyes suddenly widened and his expression suddenly became ferocious.

She wasn't wrong!

It was the person who disfigured her in the hospital that night!

She will never forget that person's breath even if she dies!

It was really Lu Wensheng’s “second personality” that ruined her face!

Lu Erya's body was filled with fear, but her eyes revealed a morbid excitement.

She was not afraid of Lu Qingtang taking action.

She even expected Lu Qingtang to take action!

Ashu can't kill her!

But the fifth brother wants to kill her——

She has no choice but to die!

Lu Erya shrank behind Madam Lu, looking terrified and pitiful, but her eyes revealed a trembling pleasure.

Mrs. Lu couldn't help but explode when she saw that Lu Qingtang was going to use a knife on Lu Erya again.

She rushed forward like crazy, stood in front of Lu Erya, and screamed hysterically, "You little beast, don't you want to kill someone?"

"Come! Kill me first!"

"I want to see if you are really so lawless that you can even kill your own mother!"

"I'm telling you, as long as I'm here, you can't even touch a hair on Erya's head!"

Lu Qingtang's eyes were filled with murderous intent and his gaze was cold. He stared at Mrs. Lu, who was acting confidently in front of him, expressionlessly.

After a while, a sweet and bright smile appeared on her face, and she slowly raised the knife in her hand.

The young man on the stairs looked at Lu Qingtang's almond-shaped eyes, which were filled with dark emotions, and frowned.

When Mr. Lu saw this scene, his face turned completely gloomy. He was about to speak when the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside and a figure ran in hurriedly.
