Jiang Mengxin asked, "So Boss Jia, what exactly do you want? Do you want Lu Ming to apologize to you? Or do you want Kaiyuan Jewelry to compensate you with money? You should at least give us an explanation. Otherwise, we're just confused and don't understand what's going on."
Jia Chunming waved his hand and said, "A life for a life, a debt for a debt. My son lost his life, so you naturally have to repay it with your lives. Apologies and compensation are too superficial."
What?
Jiang Mengxin suspected her ears had misheard.
So Jia Chunming wasn't just here to demand an explanation, but to demand a life! This was too ruthless.
Jiang Mengxin was a little flustered.
However, she didn't directly retort to Jia Chunming. Instead, she turned her gaze to Lu Ming.
She wouldn't dare to lose her temper randomly with others, but with Lu Ming, she could scold and hit him as she pleased.
Jiang Mengxin pointed at Lu Ming's nose and scolded him, "This is all your fault! Look, look, you've angered Boss Jia so much! Lu Ming, I order you to apologize to Boss Jia right now! No, he lost his son, and mere apologies are indeed too light."
After thinking for a moment.
Jiang Mengxin said without hesitation, "Lu Ming, I want you to go to the Jia family and mourn for Jia Wenhao!"
This…
A son mourning for his father, a grandson mourning for his grandfather. It had never been heard of for someone completely unrelated to mourn for someone of the same generation.
Wasn't this making a fool of themselves?
Or did Jiang Mengxin see Lu Ming as someone who should be someone's son?
Lu Ming frowned, displeased, "I'm not going."
"Not going? Heh heh, do you think you have a say in this matter?" Jiang Mengxin pushed Lu Ming forward and said, "Boss Jia, Lu Ming is yours. Whether to beat, scold, kill, or torture, do as you please!"
Sacrificing a pawn to save the king.
Seeing the situation was unfavorable, Jiang Mengxin very decisively abandoned Lu Ming.
All past favors were disregarded!
The name of husband and wife was thrown to the wind.
In short, when there were good things, Jiang Mengxin wanted to hog them all to herself, but when there was danger, Lu Ming had to bear it all alone.
I enjoy the good fortune, you bear the hardship!
Jia Chunming was quite pleased with this, nodded, and said, "Alright. If Lu Ming goes to mourn for my son, kneels honestly in front of my son's mourning hall and repents, I will consider forgiving him."
Jiang Mengxin's face lit up, "Really? Thank you, Boss Jia!"
Looking at Jiang Mengxin's expression, it was truly disgusting.
However…
Lu Ming didn't think this matter was over.
Let alone the fact that Lu Ming would never go to mourn for Jia Wenhao, even if he did, would Jia Chunming really let him go?
It seemed unlikely.
This trip was probably Jia Chunming's ploy to lure the snake out of its hole.
Jia Chunming looked at Lu Ming and asked, "What do you say, are you willing?"
Lu Ming's face darkened. Before he could speak, Jiang Mengxin replied for him, "Willing, of course, I'm willing. What's there not to be willing about?"
"Hmm, it's good that you're willing," Jia Chunming said. "Since that's the case, I'll be going back now. You two prepare yourselves. We'll go to my house later, and Lu Ming will mourn for my son."
"Okay!" Jiang Mengxin agreed immediately.
The two of them sang in unison. If one didn't know, they would think they had conspired together to corner Lu Ming.
Watching Jia Chunming's departing back, Lu Ming inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
It was Jia Wenhao!
Jia Chunming's expression and state at this moment were exactly the same as Jia Wenhao's back then. This meant that Jia Chunming might have murderous intent.
This trip was likely to be extremely dangerous.
Lu Ming sighed.
He said loudly, "Boss Jia, let go when you should let go. Your persistent obsession will only harm you."
"Oh?"
Jia Chunming turned around and looked at Lu Ming. "You seem to know me very well."
Lu Ming said, "I'll only say one thing to you, which I also said to your son Jia Wenhao. Unfortunately, he didn't listen at all, which led to his tragic end. Boss Jia, I want to say, put down the butcher's knife and free yourself."
This butcher's knife had been passed from Jia Wenhao's hands to Jia Chunming's.
Others couldn't see it, only Lu Ming could.
Jia Chunming slightly knitted his brows and looked at Lu Ming meaningfully. After a moment, he sneered, "I've lived more than half my life, don't I understand any principles? Do I need a young brat like you to educate me? Lu Ming, you think too highly of yourself!"
Alas…
Listening to his tone, he had failed again.
This time, Lu Ming retorted without hesitation.
He said, "If others don't offend me, I won't offend them. If you don't bother me, we'll all be fine. If you have murderous intent towards me, then the one in danger won't be me, but yourself. Jia Wenhao didn't believe this and died. Jia Chunming, you'd better take care of yourself."
These words were truly harsh.
Jia Chunming's eyes turned scarlet with anger, and he almost swore.
Even Jiang Mengxin was startled and cursed at Lu Ming, "What nonsense are you spouting again?"
Lu Ming chuckled and said, "Every word I've said is true, I'm not joking. Jia Chunming, I advise you to calm down. If you dare to make a move, I guarantee the one who dies will definitely not be me!"
The words were too harsh.
After a long, long time.
Jia Chunming loosened his clenched fist and stared at Lu Ming with his deep eyes, saying, "Heh heh, kid, you seem very arrogant? Fine, then we'll see. I'd like to see how long you can remain arrogant!"
With a wave of his hand.
"Retreat!"
Jia Chunming led his men and all retreated.
Outside Kaiyuan Jewelry, Jiang Mengxin glared at Lu Ming with hatred again. She truly couldn't understand why this Lu Ming was like a jinx, always stirring up a pile of troublesome matters wherever he went.
"Scumbag," Jiang Mengxin cursed him angrily.
Then, she said to Young Master Xiao, "Young Master Xiao, please do me a favor and drive Lu Ming to the Jia family to kowtow and mourn for Jia Wenhao."
Xiao Zhan was initially unwilling.
However, as soon as he heard that Lu Ming had to kowtow and mourn, he became interested.
What could be more amusing than watching Lu Ming make a fool of himself?
"Alright, I'll take him there now!" Xiao Zhan beckoned to Lu Ming, "Come on, jinx."
Xiao Zhan drove his car over. "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up, get in the car!"
Lu Ming thought for a moment and got into the car.
Everyone else thought he was going to kowtow and mourn for Jia Wenhao, but only Lu Ming knew that he was heading into a tiger's den, to face Jia Chunming's overwhelming hatred.
It was likely that mourning was a pretense, and killing was the real intention!
Lu Ming was not afraid. As he said, if Jia Chunming dared to make a move, Jia Chunming himself would be the one to die!
This trip, Lu Ming wanted to see what exactly Jia Chunming intended to do!
The car started.
A storm of blood and rain was about to descend.
