Chapter 149 -149: Lu Xining’s Counterattack!
Without Lu Xining’s consent, the Lu Family’s bodyguard simply wouldn’t let anyone go.
Ji Tingran glanced in Lu Xining’s direction but didn’t speak up here. She could beg her in private, but in public, she considered herself the Ji Family’s young lady and couldn’t stoop to asking a solitary girl for mercy.
Put plainly, she always felt she was high above the rest; all she had endured in the past was just Great Grandpa’s trials for her as the Ji’s sole young miss.
Ji Tingran looked to Ji Muye beseechingly and said urgently, “Brother, please save Mom.”
The man’s gaze was indifferent. Cradling Little Dumpling on the sofa, without a response, he made it clear with his actions that he was not on Ji Tingran’s side.
His gaze fell on Lu Xining, but she didn’t return his look.
Seeing this, Ji Tingran turned her gaze to Xiao Chao and Xiao Ze, “Xiao Chao, Xiao Ze, could you please plead with grandma for mercy?”
The two children obediently sat next to Ji Muye.
Xiao Chao shook his head, “Aunt, Great Grandpa said she’s not my grandma.”
Xiao Ze nodded in agreement with his brother and seriously advised, “Aunt, if you want to plead, you’d better bring a tribute and kneel in front of our real grandma’s grave.”
Lu Xining felt somewhat relieved at Xiao Chao and Xiao Ze’s reaction.
If her two sons were to plead for Zhang Yuzhi now, she would have had a difficult time dealing with the matter.
But now, there was no such trouble.
Upon seeing her gaze, Little Dumpling immediately put on a smiling face, gave her a reassuring expression, and continued to nestle in Ji Muye’s arms, watching the expressions of the people around with wide-open eyes.
Lu Nuonuo: At the critical moment, she won’t cause trouble for Mom~
Lu Xining walked back to the poolside.
This time, Zhang Yuzhi didn’t dare to hurl insults her way again, and her sleazy companion, upon seeing Ji Muye’s arrival, immediately lost his nerve, not daring to let his gaze fall on Lu Xining.
Looking at their expressions, Lu Xining felt only irony.
What they feared was not her, but obviously Ji Muye, who sat on the other side.
Nearly all of Jingzhou’s elite were present today; it was an excellent opportunity for her to make an example, to prevent more flies from buzzing around in front of her.
As she gathered her thoughts, Mr. Ji hurried over from outside.
On the way, he had received a call and learned about Zhang Yuzhi being kicked into the pool by Lu Xining.
Mr. Ji arrived in a fury, “What on earth are you all doing!”
Everyone’s attention shifted to him once more, increasingly eager to see what would unfold.
Mr. Ji walked quickly to the pool, seeing his wife in total disarray within, and felt as if she had completely lost face for him.
“Dad, please save Mom, she’s almost at her limit!”
“Husband, Lu Xining is bullying me!”
Mr. Ji glanced at the bodyguards surrounding the pool, who were not from the Ji Family Mansion, then at Ji Muye, who sat holding Lu Xining’s daughter, enjoying the spectacle. He was weighing up whom to support.
Ji Tingran didn’t understand, “Dad, what are you hesitating for?”
Over these years, Mr. Ji had actually been fed up with Zhang Yuzhi but hadn’t found the right opportunity to divorce her, after all, it had been he who insisted on marrying this woman, hurt his father’s feelings, and thus cut himself off from all financial resources.
If he handled this situation well today, could he regain those shares and immovables?
Zhang Yuzhi was almost unable to hold on, sinking downward. Whenever she sneakily tried to grab the edge of the pool, she’d see the Lu Family bodyguards’ feet stretched towards her, like a game of Whack-A-Mole—any time she dared to move close, they were ready to kick.
Even so, she still didn’t want to bow her head to Lu Xining, feeling that she wasn’t worthy.
Now that Mr. Ji had returned, she was even less worried.
Lu Xining found Zhang Yuzhi and Ji Tingran amusing, probably unaware of what their husband and father had just been doing.
She glanced at the electronic screen on the lawn and spoke slowly.
“Ms. Zhang, speaking of which, I remember encountering a man with a mole on his left cheek outside the old mansion, saying his wife and daughter were enjoying their fortune inside.”
Hearing about the man with a mole on his left cheek, Zhang Yuzhi’s already pale face turned even worse, filled with panic in her eyes.
She tried to remain calm and said, “What does that have to do with me? I don’t even know him.”
Lu Xining looked at her guilty eyes and said with a mocking smile, “Is that so? But why do I see Ms. Zhang’s daughter bearing not the slightest resemblance to her father?”
Ji Tingran was the first to retort, “Lu Xining, what nonsense are you talking about!”
There was a panicked tremor in her voice, for Ji Tingran had long noticed that she did not look much like Mr. Ji. To win his favor, she always applied her makeup to accentuate any slight resemblance to him.
Mr. Ji, who had been silent, caught the implications in Lu Xining’s words and immediately recalled how little Ji Tingran’s face resembled his own, sparking doubt in his eyes.
Though his actions were unprincipled, he had been a handsome man in his youth, and otherwise, he would not have fathered a son with heavenly good looks like Ji Muye.
No man could accept his woman cuckolding him!
Seeing the suspicious and thoughtful look in Mr. Ji’s eyes, Ji Tingran quickly said to him, “Dad! Don’t listen to this woman’s nonsense, mom loves you so much, how could I not be your daughter?”
Zhang Yuzhi also spoke in a panic, “Husband, just look at Ran Ran’s eyes, they’re exactly like yours. I’ve been with you for over twenty years, how could I possibly betray you…” Her voice trembled, and as she grew nervous, she lost her balance in the pool and sank, swallowing several mouthfuls of pool water.
The guests did not expect to witness so much drama today; they were all intrigued, beginning to scrutinize the resemblance between Ji Tingran and Mr. Ji.
Meanwhile, Ji Tingran’s boyfriend had been distracted, casting frequent glances at Monkey.
The latter scanned him sharply, “Do you know me?”
Mu Cen hurriedly turned away, “No, I don’t know you.”
With a single sentence, Lu Xining had disturbed the peace between Zhang Yuzhi and Mr. Ji. Her beautiful brows were tinged with indifference, and she stood in silence by the poolside, her figure proud and aloof as if above all others.
Ji Muye watched her stand her ground alone, a deep look passing across his eyes, suddenly feeling an inexplicable sense of panic.
Lu Nuonuo noticed the strength in his arm and immediately patted his hand.
Ji Muye’s emotions slowly calmed down, and he was surprised by how much Little Dumpling influenced him.
At that moment, Mr. Ji, who had not responded to Zhang Yuzhi and Ji Tingran, noticed the scrutiny of the surrounding guests and changed the subject, “Ladies and gentlemen, today is the birthday of the family father, please proceed to the banquet hall.”

Scandals are common in the world of the wealthy, but they are not considered scandals unless exposed to the public eye.
Lu Xining saw right through Mr. Ji’s attitude and exchanged a look with Monkey, who nodded in response.
The man with the mole on his left cheek that she had mentioned was brought to the scene.
“Zhizhi, come with me. What’s so good about this old man? He doesn’t even give you money to spend. I am now wealthy and can give you and your daughter happiness. You and Ran Ran should come home with me.”
The man’s words struck Mr. Ji’s face like a slap, confirming the fact that he had been cuckolded.
Zhang Yuzhi’s voice trembled, “I don’t know you at all!”
“Zhizhi, you gave birth to our beautiful daughter Ran Ran, how can you say you don’t know me?”
He looked at Ji Tingran with excited eyes, “After more than twenty years, I can finally come to see you openly, Ran Ran, I’m your dad.”
Ji Tingran turned pale and immediately looked at Mr. Ji’s face, which had turned as black as coal.
She hastily asserted herself, “Shut up! My dad is Ji Lingyuan, not some filthy man like you!”
Lu Xining met Zhang Yuzhi’s eyes as if wishing they could pierce through her, and slightly parted her lips.
With a sardonic smile, she said, “It turns out that Ms. Zhang’s daughter is actually… the illegitimate child.”
