Scumbag Chapter 206 The Real Young Master Doesn’t Care For The Crematorium Trope (28)

Will the Lu Family be in chaos?

For Mingting, whether the Lu family is in chaos or not has nothing to do with him.

Even if Lu Song and He Qiaoqiao show up in a livestream to accuse him, it wouldn’t have any impact on him.

They’re not his biological parents, so did they really think their words would hurt him? Did they expect him to be like the original owner, yearning for paternal or maternal love and craving familial affection?

By acting so recklessly, they’re only ruining the Lu Family’s reputation and harming the family’s restaurant business.

If they truly destroy the Lu family’s standing, Lu Song, who has no talent for cooking, no sense of responsibility, and no real skills, will be in for a hard time once Grandpa Lu passes away.

With that, the old lady and the others will suffer even more in the future!

As the uproar spread online, Grandpa Xiang and Grandma Xiang immediately called. The two were very anxious, worried that their grandson would be wronged.

This was the child they had cherished and raised with utmost care. His return to his biological family should have been a joyous occasion, yet in such a short time, his own parents were publicly attacking him. They feared how deeply this must have hurt him.

The elderly couple even wanted to travel to see him, but Mingting managed to dissuade them.

He spent a long time comforting them, even coaxing Grandma Xiang by saying she would always be his only grandmother.

Senior Brother Mingjue also sent a WeChat message expressing concern, mentioning that the restoration of Guiyi Temple was halfway done and that Abbot Hongde and the other brothers were all thinking of him.

Mingjue even advised Mingting that if life outside was too difficult, he could always return to the temple, where it was more peaceful and free.

Mingting thanked his senior brother and said that once he resolved matters here, he would go back.

The story of the Lu Family’s true young master resurfaced once again.

This time, with the old lady, Lu Song, and He Qiaoqiao personally stepping into the spotlight, along with Miao Wei fueling the fire, many netizens began attacking Mingting.

However, there were also many netizens who were still very rational and spoke for Mingting, questioning why he was fine before he returned to the Lu Family, but why he was being vilified by his own relatives when he arrived at the Lu Family?

Some netizens even posted photos of Lu Minghua out and about with the old lady and the others, showing Lu Song’s warm attitude toward his adopted son. Compared to the way he scolded Mingting in the video, netizens concluded that Lu Song and his wife clearly favored the child they had raised, as their bond with him was naturally deeper.

Some were even shocked… Why was Lu Song treating Lu Minghua well even though he had done something wrong and violated the law? The parents’ bias was beyond extreme!

Mingting had been waiting to see how Grandpa Lu would handle the situation.

After three days, Old Master Lu finally issued an official statement on his official Weibo. Lu Song was stripped of all his positions in the family restaurant. Additionally, he clarified that his divorce had nothing to do with his grandson and asked netizens not to spread baseless rumors.

For Lu Song, this news felt like the sky had fallen.

Though he had no real talent for cooking, he had long been regarded by the restaurant’s senior staff as the young master.

This time, the old man was so ruthless that Lu Song completely believed what the old lady said, that Mingting had come to destroy this family.

Lu Song felt utterly wronged, and Mingting was also disappointed.

After all, Grandpa Lu still cared about his old wife and son, and he couldn't be completely impartial. Mingting could understand this, but he couldn’t accept it.

‘Since that was the case, I would have to take matters into his own hands. They thought they could twist the truth and turn black into white? Well, so could I!’

‘If Lu Song and those ‘relatives’ dared to cross the line, I’d go even further!’

Soon, an entertainment influencer broke the news. After returning to the Lu Family, Mingting had been ostracized and was still living in a rented apartment. The old lady and Lu Song’s wife refused to accept him, and no living arrangements had been made for him at home.

Lu Minghua was supposed to serve jail time, but Chairman Miao had pressured Mingting into a settlement out of consideration for his grandparents and parents, which was why Lu Minghua had escaped punishment.

The real reason for Grandpa Lu’s divorce was that the old lady had threatened him, demanding he acknowledge Lu Minghua as his grandson, while Lu Song and his wife only recognized their adopted son.

When it came to slander and spreading rumors, no one could outdo Mingting.

The key is, he had witnesses.

For example, Mrs. Zhao, who worked as a helper in the Lu Family, came forward to testify that the old lady had repeatedly complained in front of her, asking why Mingting had returned and calling him a jinx.

Another servant from the Lu Family also told a tabloid reporter that the old lady and He Qiaoqiao doted on Lu Minghua and never spoke of Mingting at home… or if they did, it was only to criticize him.

Despite being back for so long, the true young master had never been offered a warm meal or even a glass of water in the Lu Family’s home, let alone a place to stay. He Qiaoqiao hadn’t even prepared a room for him.

This kind of drama involving a true heir and a fake one was already eye-catching, but the fact that Mingting had been treated so poorly by his own family made it even more shocking.

A child kidnapped for over a decade returns home, only to be denied even a sip of water or a warm meal? What kind of family was this? Were they even his real parents? If they loved their adopted son so much, they should just live happily ever after with him!

Everyone was stunned by Lu Family's actions.

Those who had scolded Mingting for being unfilial and demanded he reflect on himself were instantly silenced. Righteous netizens flooded in to defend the true young master, outraged on his behalf.

Especially after it was revealed that the ‘Chairman Miao’ mentioned in the influencer's exposé was the same Miao of the recently scandal-plagued Miao Corporation, whose daughter was in a relationship with Lu Minghua, the backlash against the Miao Family grew even stronger.

Netizens who had initially joked about Miao Wei ‘just start a new account’ now swarmed his Weibo with comments like:

"If your genes are bad, just don’t have kids! Bad people breed bad seeds!"

Miao Wei, who had originally been watching the drama unfold, now watched in horror as the flames of public outrage turned back toward him. Miao Corporation’s stock plummeted again, and he was so stressed his hairline seemed to recede overnight.

"Are these people insane? Why are they dragging me into this when they’re mad at the Lu Family?!"

Miao Wei was furious and aggrieved, but he could only watch helplessly.

But he wasn’t the only one under fire, as Lu Song and He Qiaoqiao’s personal Weibo accounts also became war zones.

Countless people demanded to know, “Why don’t you love your own son? Why would you favor the adopted one?”

Being biased was one thing, after all, they had raised Lu Minghua for over a decade, so it made sense they had feelings for him. But as parents, why would they harm their own flesh and blood? Did they have some kind of grudge against their son?
