Chapter 635
Domineering at Home
Lu Chenyu’s action was too sudden, no one expected him to suddenly pull off such a move. The two bodyguards moving things were momentarily stunned by Lu Chenyu’s outrageous maneuver. After placing the barrel at the designated spot, they decisively chose a prime position with expressionless faces and flickering eyes to watch the drama unfold.
Lu Chenyu didn’t notice others watching the drama, or rather, he simply didn’t care. Compared to the gaze of onlookers, his own safety was trivial.
Miss Lu only realized what had happened after her hair was yanked and she received a slap across the face.
“You wretched bitch, how do I usually teach you, and how do you repay me? You engage in such illegal activities and drag the entire Lu Family into it. How could I have spawned such a calamity like you? If our ancestors found out you caused such a catastrophe, bringing ruin to the Lu Family, they wouldn’t rest in peace under the ground.”
Lu Chenyu was loudly scolding Miss Lu, slapping her repeatedly. Soon, Miss Lu’s face became swollen and red, and in a blink of an eye, she looked like a pig demon, her face gleaming with the swollen shine of her skin.
Miss Lu wasn’t the type to passively take a beating. She was caught off guard at first, which gave Lu Chenyu the advantage. Her failure to retaliate initially was due to being dazed by the blows, but once she adapted and understood her situation, Miss Lu exhibited her Lu Family traits.
Miss Lu thrust her knee accurately and viciously into Lu Chenyu’s groin, and the searing pain from his crotch made Lu Chenyu instantly howl and release his grip, allowing Miss Lu to break free from his control.
Miss Lu shook her head to focus her scattered vision.
Lu Chenyu, clutching his groin, curled up on the ground like a shrimp, his loungewear covered in dirt, which he couldn’t care less about.
Miss Lu hadn’t held back any strength in that moment, almost making Lu Chenyu pass out from the pain, his neck veins bulging from the agony. The pain made the bodyguards watching not far away maintain their stern and cool expressions while quietly closing their thighs.
Miss Lu looked at Lu Chenyu with hatred, turned her head, and spat on the ground, leaving teeth mixed with bloody saliva.
“Even a tiger won’t eat its cubs, Lu Chenyu, you’re worse than a beast. I’m your daughter, thinking of how to save you, yet you seek to kill me. You say I bring shame to the Lu Family’s ancestors, but I think the real disgrace is you! It’s because the Lu Family has scum like you, worse than pigs and dogs, that’s why it’s declining. This burden is yours, bear it yourself, don’t pin it on others.” Miss Lu said, looking at Lu Chenyu on the ground with disgust.
“I won’t hit you today because you are my father, you’re entitled to that title and my body carries half your blood, not because I fear you, but from now on if you dare to lay a hand on me again, I will absolutely not spare you. You’re over fifty, while I’m in my twenties and prime. Who wins or loses between us is not yet certain.” Lu Chenyu said loudly.
Lu Chenyu on the ground couldn’t care less at this moment, the pain had occupied all his attention, making him unaware of Miss Lu’s declaration.
Madam Lu watched Lu Chenyu rolling on the ground, her gaze somewhat vacant as if something inside her was breaking, or maybe it was just an illusion, as though nothing had happened.
“Is your farce over? If you’re done, is it my turn?” Xu Ke interjected timely, seeing the situation come to a temporary pause.
“Although your performance was splendid, it’s already late at night. In a few hours, it’ll be dawn. I don’t have time to waste with you today, people at home are waiting for me to return, so I need to make this quick, you understand.” Xu Ke said very politely.
But Xu Ke’s gentlemanly manner made even Lu Chenyu pause his rolling on the ground for a moment.
Xu Ke noticed this small gesture but didn’t take it seriously. Instead, his gaze lingered longer on the three barrels placed beside the warehouse.
“It’s a pity the conditions don’t allow, otherwise I wouldn’t have prepared these barrels, though these can be used for the time being.” Xu Ke looked regretfully at the barrels. Initially, he planned to dump the people in a stinking ditch, but he feared the three might escape, so he could only reluctantly have them soak in the barrels for now.
“Even though these three barrels are a bit small for you and cause you inconvenience, rest assured, the contents are pure, without any adulteration, utterly original.” Xu Ke laughed as he looked at the three individuals.
“What are you going to do?” Madam Lu glanced at the three barrels. Although Xu Ke said they were small, she found them not small at all, rather quite large. They were as high as an adult man’s waist, and the openings were wider than an adult man’s arms spread in a circle.
Xu Ke smiled at Madam Lu’s fearful expression, “Please put them in,” Xu Ke said. Immediately, people came over, lifting the struggling three and carrying them towards the barrels.
“I won’t go in! Let me down! I don’t want to go in there, I don’t!” Madam Lu cried out, unexpectedly the most frail-looking person turned out to struggle the fiercest, nearly slipping from the bodyguards’ grip. Fortunately, the end result was good, they threw her into the barrel, though the splashed water was quite high, spraying onto the bodyguards, the pungent smell making them wrinkle their noses involuntarily.
“I don’t want to be here, urgh, it’s too stinky, urgh, kill me instead, kill me rather than let me stay here, urgh.” Madam Lu sobbed, retching and gasping for breath.
She even tried climbing out, but the bodyguard holding her pressed too hard, accidentally pushing Madam Lu’s head into the barrel, causing her to gulp down the foul water unprepared.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment. The next moment, Madam Lu went from dry retching to genuine vomiting, as if trying to expel her bile.
The mix of vomit and foul water permeated the air, creating a new wave of stench that turned the previously dry heaving individuals to full vomiting, the combination of the three’s vomit and the foul smell producing an effect greater than the sum of its parts.
