Chapter 179
Lucy put on some clothes outside. Just as he was about to watch the fireworks with the little fellow, the
old man sent someone over to call them. "The old man said that it was not easy for us to get together
for a meal in a year. It''s not good to be short of people."
"Yes, I''ll be right there." Lucy disagreed with Arthur and Elyse, but since the old man had spoken, she
still had to go over.
Caden walked beside her, her delicate face full of unhappiness. "If Mommy doesn''t want to go, I can tell
great-grandfather."
"Let''s have a reunion dinner together. It''s ridiculous that you don''t want me alone." Lucy pointed at the
tip of his nose. "It''s just a meal, and it''s not like anyone else wants to eat us. Smile!"
Caden gritted her teeth, but still didn''t say anything.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the old man said with a smile, "Who''s that? Is the surname of the
little girl Sheng? You''ve taken my granddaughter-inw''s ce. You have to give way!"
He brought his lover to the reunion dinner. Caden did something too outrageous!
Ruby looked at Arthur with pleading eyes. Her eyes were brimming with tears and she looked
extremely aggrieved.
But Arthur acted as if he didn''t see it at all. He didn''t seem to want to say anything at all.
Ruby could only stand up reluctantly. There was no longer an empty seat. She stood quietly behind
Arthur, looking especially pitiful.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I''ll just sit with Caden." There was only one seat left. Lucy intended to eat with
Caden in his arms. It was definitely not good to eat like this, but she didn''t want to sit with Arthur, let
alone have a meal. There was Elyse, who was looking at him covetously, standing beside her.
Arthur frowned. He turned around and ordered Ruby, "This is your seat. Sit down!"
"But..." Ruby looked timidly in the direction of the Old Master.
Arthur tightened his handsome face. "Sit down!"
The Old Master gave Ruby a warning look. He was not satisfied with his grandson''s attitude towards
his lover. He said, "Men, give my granddaughter-inw a seat and put it beside me!"
The servant answered and quickly added a chair to the old man''s left hand.
Lucy pulled the little fellow over and sat down beside the old man.
The people of the Johnson family were envious. The old man rarely meddled in the affairs of the
younger generation, but this time, he was obviously standing up for Lucy. She was really lucky!
When Mrs. Johnson came in, she happened to see this scene. She was so angry that her lungs hurt.
"Look, Lucy is a fox. He has fascinated my father!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mr. Johnson lowered his voice. "The disasteres out of
your mouth. Don''t talk too much!"
Mrs. Johnson also knew that there were too many people here, so she sat down angrily when it was
not the right time.
No matter what everyone really thought, this meal seemed to be harmonious on the surface.
After the meal, Arthur walked up to Lucy and dragged her out.
"Let go of me!" Lucy felt disgusted when he thought of the photos that had fallen out of Ruby''s clothes.
He did not want Arthur to touch her!
Arthur did not let go of her. Seeing that she was very resistant, he forcefully picked her up by the waist
and walked straight out.
He came here today to take her back!
Even if she didn''t have him in her heart, he would still keep her by his side!
The people of the Johnson family all pretended not to see that they were talking or joking. No one
wanted to meddle in Arthur''s business. They couldn''t afford to meddle in Arthur''s business.
Pa!
Lucy really couldn''t break free. He pped Arthur in the face. "Don''t touch me with your filthy hands!"
This p was like a pause button. The people of the Johnson family all stopped talking and looked at
Lucy in horror.
She... she dared to hit Arthur!
Mrs. Johnson was even more unhappy. She couldn''t bear to hit her son, so why should she hit him?
She wanted to step forward and say a few words, but her father stopped her. "Do you want to make a
fool of yourself if you intervene in the rtionship between the younger generation?"
Mrs. Johnson stood beside him and stared at Lucy. Sooner orter, she would drive this woman out!
Arthur''s face instantly became gloomy, and his voice was very low. "Do you think I''m dirty?"
She had so many men, how dare she dislike him for being dirty?!
"Are you all here to watch the show?" The old tutor''s face was ashen as he swept his gaze across the
crowd.
The crowd hurriedly apologized. They said a few words of blessing for the new year and retreated.
They didn''t dare to provoke the old master!
Since there was no one else, there was no need for the Old Master to save Arthur''s face. "Put Lucy
down and go to the ancestral temple to kneel!"
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
This was the grandson he was most proud of, but he had done so many bad things. How could he rest
assured to hand over the Johnson family to him?
Arthur pursed his lips tightly and put down Lucy. Without saying anything, he walked in the direction of
the ancestral temple.
"Dad!" Mrs. Johnson was the first to be unconvinced. She grabbed Arthur and rushed to the old man.
"It was Lucy who hit him. If you want to kneel, you should kneel. Why did you ask Caden to kneel?"
"If it weren''t for Caden doing such a bad thing, why would Lucy be Caden?" The old man didn''t like his
daughter-inw very much. She was too emotional and never knew what to do.
Mrs. Johnson never went against the Old Master''s wishes, but this time it was an exception. "Let''s not
talk about anything else. Dad has never raised a lover outside? You can do it, but why can''t Caden do
it?"
Who among the rich childes didn''t have a few lovers outside?
"Enough!" Mr. Johnson roared and apologized to the old man. "I''m sorry, Dad. She drank too much."
The old man''s face was extremely ugly. "I know how much she drinks! Second Brother''s wife, if Second
Brother brings his lover to the table, won''t you be able to lift the roof of the Johnson family?"
"This isn''t the same...." she murmured. Her father''s roar caused her to regain her senses.
Lucy''s expression was calm, but there was a wave of coldughter in his heart. His mother-inw was
a typical double standard: using the saint''s way of dealing with others, using the bitch''s way of dealing
with himself.
"It''s not the same!" Old Mr. Johnson blew his beard and red at him. He knocked on his crutch
several times on the ground. "Caden, go and kneel. When do you know you''re wrong? When do you
come out?"
Lucy''s eyes were full of mockery. This punishment looked very harsh, but there was no substantial
punishment at all. It was just an act. If Arthur said that he knew he was wrong now, he didn''t even need
to kneel down!
Arthur gave Lucy a cold nce and left with his long legs.
"Well, Lucy, I''ll punish those who deserve it. Don''t be angry. It''s not good for the baby in your belly." Old
Mr. Johnsonforted her.
The corners of Lucy''s lips tugged upwards. "Thank you, Grandpa. I''m a little tired. I''ll go back and rest
first."
Everyone here was so hypocritical that she was tired of watching them!
"Mommy, I..." The little girl was interrupted by the old man as soon as she opened her mouth. "Mihn,
come to my room to get your Magic Cube."
"Okay—" Caden responded reluctantly. He had to make his great-grandfather happy so that someone
could back his mommy up.
...
Resplendent fireworks continuously appeared outside the window. The sounds of firecrackers
continuously rang out, creating a lively atmosphere. However, the inside of the window waspletely
silent. Lucy sat in a daze on the bed, feeling as if he had never been this lonely before.
She touched her belly and asked, "Are you going to grow up in the parents'' house in the south after
you were born?"
There was no humanity at all, and there was only a hypocritical environment of schemes and schemes
left. Would it make her child as cold-blooded as Arthur?
