Scumbag Chapter 205 The Real Young Master Doesn’t Care For The Crematorium Trope (27)

"Dad, please don’t be angry..."

He Qiaoqiao tried to mediate, but Grandpa Lu fixed her with a sharp stare.

"You’re his mother. Instead of loving your own child, you coddle someone else’s son like he’s your precious treasure. If you’re so full of love, you can leave too. I’m sure your dear son will take good care of you."

Although Grandpa Lu had initially opposed Lu Song and He Qiaoqiao’s marriage, he had never made things difficult for his daughter-in-law after they were married.

He had even turned a blind eye when she quietly funneled family assets back to her own relatives.

But today, in front of the hired help, Grandpa Lu had publicly humiliated her. He Qiaoqiao’s face burned with shame.

"Dad, it’s not that I don’t love Mingting! It’s that he won’t get close to me!" He Qiaoqiao cried.

"Mingting is a good child who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. If he doesn’t get close to you, you should look at yourselves for the reason."

Now that he had a grandson he adored, Grandpa Lu had long lost patience with his son and the rest.

"Let me make this clear. Mingting is the Lu Family’s only grandson. If you insist on recognizing some random son or grandson, then pack up and get out of the Lu Family!"

"Fine, fine! Divorce it is!"

The old lady refused to believe Grandpa Lu would really be so ruthless.

For so many years, no matter what she did, he had always given in to her. Even when she had lost their grandson due to her mahjong addiction, he had only scolded her harshly.

The old lady was convinced that Grandpa Lu’s words were just empty threats.

After all, who gets divorced in their seventies and eighties? Isn’t that just embarrassing?

"Alright, grab the household register. Let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Grandpa Lu didn’t hesitate. He retrieved the family register and had the driver take them straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Dad! Dad, you can’t get divorced!"

Lu Song was left standing outside the car. He ran a few steps before turning back to get his own car.

Inside the car, the old lady remained stubborn. She remembered what her younger sister had told her when she first married. She could never back down on matters of principle. Once she bowed her head, she would be strangled by the man, and she would lose all standing in the household.

Over the years, she had always stood her ground against Grandpa Lu, and he had always been the one to relent. Clearly, that advice had been golden.

So this time, the old lady will never apologize.

When they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, the staff were shocked to see an elderly couple coming in for a divorce. They tried to mediate, but both insisted on splitting up.

As for the division of assets, the old lady said she didn’t want anything, as she already had property in her name and Grandpa Lu had allocated her some money. They signed the agreement and stamped their fingerprints.

Just like that, with a red seal, the divorce certificate was finalized.

By the time Lu Song arrived with He Qiaoqiao and Lu Minghua, all they saw was the old lady sitting there in a daze, clutching the divorce papers.

"A-Song… your father… he doesn’t want me anymore…"

The old lady kept repeating those words over and over, until finally, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

[Hahaha!] Fengtian, who had been watching the whole drama unfold, clutched its stomach with laughter.

[I didn’t expect Grandpa Lu was so decisive.]

[Since the old man was a sober person, did that mean that he had no involvement in the death of the Supporting Male Character and was not aware of it?] Fengtian asked.

"Most likely."

From their recent interactions, Mingting believed Grandpa Lu was simply a man devoted to elevating the Lu Family’s culinary legacy.

Because his son couldn’t shoulder the responsibility, the old man had poured all his energy into the restaurant business and rarely paid attention to family affairs.

In the original timeline, he hadn’t disliked the Supporting Male Character, and he had only regretted that his grandson couldn’t become an outstanding chef.

Given Grandpa Lu’s character, he could pretty much be ruled out as a suspect.

The news of the Lu Family’s elderly couple divorcing sent shockwaves through their social circle.

Many people were very curious about Mingting now. They wondered what kind of extraordinary figure was this person.

After all, not only had he dealt a heavy blow to the Miao Corporation, leaving them still struggling in the mud, but he had also won Grandpa Lu’s unequivocal support.

The heir of the Lu Family is really amazing!

The old lady was successfully resuscitated in the hospital. Her body was unharmed, but her spirit had completely collapsed.

The pride of her life had been marrying a husband who was devoted to his family, successful in business, and deeply caring.

Yet now, in her twilight years, she had ended up divorced.

It was so humiliating!

"I told you long ago that he was a jinx! A jinx!"

The old lady said while crying.

Lu Song's mind was also in a mess.

His and He Qiaoqiao’s belongings had been packed up by Grandpa Lu and sent straight to one of the houses under their name. They were forbidden from returning to the main estate.

‘Did my own father really chosen his grandson over us? How could decades of affection be worth less than a few days of interaction? Was this favoritism not too extreme?’

Lu Song was filled with grief and indignation.

If Grandpa Lu knew what Lu Song was thinking, he’d probably smack him over the head with a stick.

‘If I, as the family head, didn’t take action now, was I supposed to wait for Mingting to deal with them himself? Did you guys not realize that once that child made a move, he wouldn’t leave us any room to breathe?’

Grandpa Lu had done this for two reasons.

First, to shock some sense into the old lady and Lu Song. And second, to make his stance clear to Mingting.

Grandpa Lu had long since realized that Mingting held little affection for this family.

The only reason Mingting even called him Grandpa was because he had treated him fairly.

But if his foolish wife, son, and daughter-in-law kept pushing their luck, they’d truly provoke the little tiger cub. And once Mingting was angered, he wouldn’t care about blood ties.

Who knew? The moment Grandpa Lu kicked the bucket, they might be thrown out onto the streets by Mingting without a second thought.

For the sake of these muddle-headed fools, Grandpa Lu had exhausted all his patience! All he could hope was that, in the future, his grandson would remember this favor.

However, Grandpa Lu’s well-intentioned efforts were completely lost on Lu Song and the others.

Following Lu Minghua’s suggestion, Lu Song arranged for a media interview, where the family tearfully accused Mingting of being unfilial and manipulating Grandpa Lu into kicking them out of the house.

Watching these three idiots’ disastrous stunt, Grandpa Lu nearly fainted from rage.

"Morons! Absolute imbeciles!"

Now, all his efforts had gone to waste.

While Grandpa Lu was furious, Miao Wei was overjoyed… so much so that he even opened a bottle of wine to celebrate.

Though the Miao Corporation was still struggling in the mud, seeing his enemy torn apart by his own flesh and blood filled him with indescribable glee.

‘What was that saying again? Not afraid of godlike opponents, only afraid of pig-like teammates.’

‘No matter how capable Xiang Mingting was, what could he do when he was being dragged down by his own family? The accusations of relatives carried far more weight than the condemnation of outsiders.’

Now, it was the Lu Family’s turn to fall into chaos!
