Lu Jingzhi had been staying at the old house for some time, living together with Lu He and Lu Qi. Upon returning home, the Lu family didn’t pay much attention to Lu Jingzhi, except for his nephew, Lu Youzhe, who was playing outside. Initially, Lu Jingzhi intended to greet him, but was startled when Lu Youzhe exclaimed, "Uncle?! Did someone beat you up?"
This loud shout drew the entire family's attention to Lu Jingzhi, who lowered his head in embarrassment. He had never felt so humiliated in his life. When everyone finally saw his appearance, they were shocked. Was this really their second young master? Goodness! How could he look so miserable? Who dared to lay a hand on him?
At that moment, Lu Jingzhi's face was swollen, his eyes were darkened, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth; he looked both pitiful and comical.
Lu Qi gasped, "Son, what happened?! Ouch! Just looking at you hurts."
Lu Jingzhi stammered, "I got beaten..."
"What? How did this happen?" Lu Qi couldn’t hear him clearly due to his soft voice.
"I got beaten!" He knew he couldn’t hide this from his family.
"Pfft! Hahaha!" Lu Jingmo nearby laughed so hard he could barely stand. His brother had always been the one dishing out beatings; today it was a surprise to see him on the receiving end. Who could have done this to him?
"Who is this person that dares to beat up our second young master? Do they want to die?"
"Mom, look at big brother! Even in this state, he’s still laughing."
"Enough! Your brother is like this, and you’re still teasing him? Quickly bring the first aid kit!" Sang Yu scolded Lu Jingmo.
"No need, Mom. I already brought it." Lu Family Sister-in-Law An Qian had grabbed the first aid kit as soon as she saw Lu Jingzhi.
"See? My sister-in-law cares for me," he winced. "Mom, don’t touch me! It hurts everywhere."
"Serves you right! Who told you to fight? Come here! I’m going to put some medicine on you. You’re already an adult; how can you still be fighting? Isn’t that embarrassing?"
"Embarrassing!" Lu Youzhe chimed in.
Lu Jingzhi shot a glare at his little nephew, who responded by making a face at him.
"What are you glaring at? Is your nephew wrong?" Lu Qi smacked Lu Jingzhi on the back. If he dared to glare at her grandson again, he was just asking for trouble.
Lu Jingzhi thought to himself that even now she was hitting him? Wasn’t he still her most cherished son?
Lu Qi retorted with a laugh, "With my grandson here, you all better step back. Don’t you know your place?"
"Ouch, Mom! Easy does it! Maybe let my sister-in-law apply the medicine instead." Lu Jingzhi cried out in pain; he didn’t want his mother treating him. His sister-in-law was gentle and wouldn’t be as rough as his mother.
"Shut up!" Lu Qi was fed up with his whining. "You’re a grown man; stop making such a fuss. It’s embarrassing enough as it is. And I’m not going to pamper you!"
"What happened? Why are you shouting?" Lu heard the commotion and came downstairs, realizing just how loud Lu Jingzhi had been.
"You're almost thirty, and you're still getting into fights? Look at you, you've been beaten up!"
Lu Jingzhi was not pleased. He was only twenty-five—well, actually, he had just turned twenty-six—but still, thirty was quite a ways off. "Mom, I just turned twenty-six, and I haven't even celebrated my birthday yet!"
Lu Qi shot him a glance. "Rounding up, you're practically thirty."
"Rounding up like that? Really?" Lu Jingzhi exclaimed.
"Got beaten up? Let me see." Lu showed no sign of concern; instead, he was curious about how badly his son had gotten hurt.
He rushed over to Lu Jingzhi and looked at his face, which was bruised and swollen in various places. "Wow! Who did this to you? Your father? I can't even tell it's my son anymore," he said, clicking his tongue in disbelief.
Lu Jingzhi felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him. "What does that clicking mean?"
"Looks like you took quite a beating. With that face, if you hadn't told me you were my son, I wouldn't have recognized you on the street."
Pu Anqian couldn't help but laugh. Usually serious in public, few people knew how entertaining her family interactions could be.
