The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 388 Lu Zhiyao gives her father an ultimatum

He immediately ordered people to cut the nanny's tendons in her feet and hands, and dragged her into the torture hall, where she was tortured for three days and three nights. The nanny struggled in pain and despair, and finally couldn't bear the torture and chose to bite her tongue to commit suicide. But Lu Jingxing didn't care about it at all, as if it was just a game and had nothing to do with him.

It was late at night when Lu Yucheng returned to the villa. He dragged his tired body back to his room. He said nothing, his expression was solemn, and he was obviously thinking about everything that happened in the family.

Lu Zhiyao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She was filled with worry and anxiety. Although her father promised to consider the matter today, he did not specify the specific outcome.

She was worried that Lu Wange would gossip in front of her father and deliberately distort the facts to anger her father. If her father was really angry, he might order Gu Jingchuan to be killed. This thought made Lu Zhiyao feel fear and uneasiness. She had to find a way to get her father to let Gu Jingchuan go before she could feel at ease.

After a sleepless night, Lu Zhiyao opened her eyes in the early morning light. She got up and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside, but her heart was full of worries. Just then, she heard her father's footsteps downstairs. Her heart tightened, knowing that her father did not go to the company as usual today, but stayed at home. This meant that he might call a meeting of family members to discuss what happened last night.

Lu Zhiyao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew she had to face all this and couldn't just sit back and watch. She had to try her best no matter what. She tried everything to save Gu Jingchuan and couldn't let him die in the hands of the Lu family.

Lu Yucheng, a dignified and deep father, called the whole family together at this moment, hoping to discuss how to deal with the current difficult situation. The atmosphere in the living room was extremely solemn, and everyone's eyes revealed deep worry.

The first to speak was the eldest daughter Lu Wange. Her brows were furrowed, and her voice revealed reproach: "Dad, Gu Jingchuan's negligence led to my sister's kidnapping. This is an unavoidable fact. If we don't deal with him today, who can guarantee that my Lu family will not be harmed in the future?"

Lu Zhiyao couldn't hold back her excitement at this moment. She stood up and looked at her father firmly: "Father, you may not know how deep my feelings for Jingchuan are. If you want to hurt him today, I am willing to go with him. If he lives, I live; if he dies, I die. Please think twice."

Lu Zhiyao's words were undoubtedly an ultimatum to her father. She knew very well that Gu Jingchuan was the hero of this plane, and if he died, her mission would also be declared a failure. Instead of this, she might as well choose to die with him. Anyway, she had experienced life and death many times and was no longer afraid of anything.

The second son, Lu Jingxing, watched all this from the side, feeling nervous. He knew that although Lu Zhiyao's words seemed reasonable, they were actually threatening. Who in the world would dare to talk to his father like this? He knew that his father would be furious about this.

So, he quickly stepped out to smooth things over: "Yaoyao, how could you talk to your father like that? Apologize to your father now!"

However, Lu Zhiyao smiled nonchalantly, sat on the sofa and said: "What have I done wrong? Anyway, I have said everything I should say. If father really wants me to die, then let me die quickly. I am not afraid of death!"

Lu Jingxing was so angry that he was speechless for a moment. Lu Wange also stood up and said, "Sister Yaoyao, how can you threaten your father like this? As a member of the Lu family, we can't do this. How can you threaten your father for an outsider? Dad, I apologize for my sister's behavior just now. She may just be too anxious, so she speaks without restraint."

Lu Zhiyao looked up at Lu Wange, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She didn't understand, was Lu Wange begging for mercy or fanning the flames? Her behavior was obviously adding fuel to the fire, but her father was not angry about it.

At this moment, Lu Zhiyao suddenly stood up and yelled at Lu Wange: "Lu Wange, what do you mean? What are the meanings of your words? Don't think I don't know what you think. You pursued Brother Jingchuan before, but he rejected you, so you are resentful. And you also know that he is my love. And father, although the kidnapper who kidnapped me has been killed by you, do you know why you killed him? You are killing people to silence them, because you are the real murderer behind the scenes!"

At this moment, Lu Wange's eyes instantly turned red. She said aggrievedly: "Sister, how can you wrong me like this? I was just very angry yesterday and avenged you. I didn't send anyone to kidnap you. Besides, why would I send someone to kidnap you? What good would it do me? The kidnappers called to extort money and demanded a ransom of 100 million yuan. Would I be so stupid as to let outsiders kidnap my family members for this ransom?"

As Lu Wange spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls. The one who felt the most sorry for her was of course the second oldest, Lu Jingxing. He quickly ran over to hug Lu Wange and comforted her, "Ge'er, father won't doubt you. Neither the eldest nor the second brother will doubt you. Yaoyao, how can you doubt your sister? Your sister won't hurt you. I see that you have only been in this family for three months, and you haven't learned the rules of the family. It seems that you really need to change an etiquette master."

Lu Zhiyao looked at her second brother in front of her speechlessly. She didn't understand what his words had to do with the etiquette master? However, at this moment.

Lu Yucheng finally spoke up: "Okay, stop arguing! I'm still here! Do you think I'm dead? What are you arguing about here? Lu Wange, you cry at every turn. You are an adult and you work really hard. But don't learn to cry like those girls. I don't like that."

Lu Yucheng continued, "Lu Jingxing, don't think I don't know your little thoughts. Lu Wange is your sister. Since she is my daughter, my adopted daughter, she will always be your sister. Put away those thoughts in your heart."

After that, he sighed deeply and continued, "As for Gu Jingchuan... I hope this incident won't happen again. I won't punish you today for Yaoyao's sake, but you have to know the rules of our family. You've made such a big mistake, and now you've been brought to the villa. You won't be able to walk out of this villa alive."

However, Lu Yucheng changed the subject: "But I did owe my daughter... Let's leave it at that. No one is allowed to mention this matter again. Butler, take Master Gu out."

"Dad..." The second son Lu Jingxing wanted to say something, but suddenly he saw his father's eyes, which scared him so much that he swallowed his lines back.

Lu Yucheng looked at the family in front of him and felt extremely tired. He felt overwhelmed. He was already overwhelmed by the affairs at the company, and he didn't expect that there would be so many things waiting for him to deal with at home.

He took a deep breath and continued, "None of you really makes me worry. Yaoyao is not allowed to leave the villa without my order from today on. In addition to studying your lessons every day, I will find other etiquette masters to teach you the etiquette of the Lu family."
