Scumbag Chapter 203 The Real Young Master Doesn’t Care For The Crematorium Trope (25)

Miao Rui rushed to the detention center, but she was too late, as Lu Minghua was already injured.

The reason was kind of absurd. He ‘tripped’ while walking and hit the sharp table, cracking a rib.

“Waaah, it’s all my fault!" Seeing Lu Minghua lying on the bed miserably, Miao Rui tearfully recounted everything that had happened.

Realizing his injury was collateral damage from Miao Rui’s blunder, Lu Minghua cursed her several times in her heart.

‘So this sudden disaster is all because of her?!’

Especially when Miao Rui whined about Mingting’s actions. She didn’t know what Mingting did, but now the Miao Family has been drowning in lawsuits, and her father's attitude towards her has changed. Lu Minghua's eyes went dark.

“Tell me exactly what happened during your meeting with him. Don’t leave out a single word."

Miao Rui didn't know why Lu Minghua was interested in this, and was a little impatient.

She was upset after being berated by her father and wanted someone to comfort her, so she didn't have the patience to replay the conversation like a recording.

“I already told you! That bastard was so arrogant that he got me scolded by Dad. Dad even said that he and Mom would go abroad to find a surrogate."

‘A surrogate?’

Lu Minghua panicked when he heard this.

A major reason he pursued Miao Rui was because she was the Miao family’s only daughter.

If Miao Wei had another child, he’d never choose Miao Rui as his heir. Wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain then?

"Ruirui, you can’t let your parents go through with surrogacy."

Lu Minghua grabbed Miao Rui’s hand, "If you get a little brother or sister, you won’t be the Miao Family’s one-and-only princess anymore. They’ll compete with you for the family fortune."

Worried Miao Rui wouldn’t grasp the severity, Lu Minghua listed several real-life examples from their social circle. He wasn’t just trying to scare her, but this kind of thing happened all the time in their circle.

Miao Rui was just afraid of trouble and didn't want to use her brain too much, but she wasn't actually stupid.

After Lu Minghua gave her a thorough analysis, Miao Rui also realized the seriousness of the problem. Her status at her family was at stake.

‘Dad probably wasn’t just making empty threats this time, he really meant it.’

"What should I do?" Miao Rui bit at her nails anxiously.

In the past, Miao Rui was very proud of the fact that she had no brothers or sisters, and Miao Wei also had no illegitimate children. She was the only little princess in the Miao Family, and she was spoiled rotten.

If she really had a sister or brother who was more capable than her, her life would not be as luxurious and carefree as it is now.

"Don’t panic yet. With the Miao Corporation in crisis, your dad must be very busy for a while and would have no time to go abroad for the time being."

Lu Minghua’s mind raced.

‘The only way to ensure Miao Wei never had another child was to make him incapable of having one. The problem had to be solved at its root.’

He leaned in and whispered something in Miao Rui’s ear.

"Is this really okay?" Miao Rui covered her mouth in shock.

"Don't you remember what you learned in the biological science class in college? It will definitely work. Do you want to see your parents bring a younger brother back?"

Lu Minghua's suggestion planted a seed in Miao Rui’s mind.

Before she left, Lu Minghua reminded her not to provoke Miao Wei. She should apologize when she got home, and be more obedient for a while.

Otherwise, if Miao Wei got angry enough to wash his hands of the situation, Lu Minghua would really end up in prison.

"Ruirui, you don't want me to be away when the baby is born, do you? I want to be in the delivery room with you, welcoming our child together!"

Lu Minghua put his hand on Miao Rui’s stomach, "You have to take good care of yourself, don't forget that you are still pregnant."

‘This child must be born,’

‘And Miao Wei must not have any other children!’

"You have to remember what I told you!"

"Okay." Miao Rui nodded, "Trust me. Have I ever let you down?"

‘Heh. You always let me down.’

Of course, Lu Minghua didn’t say that out loud. Instead, he praised Miao Rui a few more times.

[Boss, Boss, Lu Minghua is really ruthless! He actually asked the Female Lead to put estrogen drugs in the water her father drank.]

Fengtian, who had been following and watching the drama, ran to Mingting to tattle.

“He’s only 19 and already this bold? The death of the Supporting Male Character must have been done by these two people!”

"Did Miao Rui really do it?"

Mingting was very curious.

Even though Miao Wei had slapped her and threatened her, at least he loved his daughter for almost 20 years. After enjoying so much paternal love, could Miao Rui really betray her own father?

"After going home, Miao Rui apologized to Miao Wei and started bringing him ‘special’ milk every night so that he could have a good rest. She is acting like the perfect, obedient daughter."

"Awesome!" Mingting was genuinely impressed by the Female Lead.

‘Is this what they call ‘No hesitation in sacrificing family for ambition’? Awesome!’

…

Miao Wei knew that her daughter took the initiative to bow her head for Lu Minghua, and the bitterness of that realization was indescribable.

‘This child was raised in vain!’

‘Even with the Miao Corporation in crisis, all she cared about was still Lu Minghua.’

Miao Wei felt like a failure. But no matter how harsh his words, he couldn’t actually let Lu Minghua rot in prison.

What would happen to Miao Rui and her unborn child then?

Fortunately, after the Miao Family paid a painful price, Mingting honored his promise and settled the case.

When he walked out of the court, Mingting nodded at Lu Minghua and Miao Rui, smiling as if nothing had happened.

"Just you wait! My Dad will never let you get away with this!" Miao Rui couldn't help but shouted at Mingting.

"Sure, I’ll wait." Mingting made a phone call right in front of Miao Rui, and then waved his phone, "Miss Miao, send my regards to Chairman Miao!"

Seeing this, Miao Rui suddenly felt flustered.

Soon after, she received a call from Miao Wei, asking her to return home immediately. The moment Miao Rui entered the room, she was greeted by a loud slap in the face.

"What did you do now?" Miao Wei was this close to having an aneurysm.

At exactly 12 PM, a technician who used to work at Miao came out to speak. He revealed that when Fountain of Life first showed problems, he had reported the situation to Miao Wei, but Chairman Miao told him to shut up and sent him to prison on the grounds of selling out the company's technology.

This time, the journalist tracked him down for a live interview in prison, and Miao Corporation’s reputation was now completely ruined.

"I..."

"Shut up! Don’t say another word! You should stay at home honestly during this period of time and don't go anywhere!"

Miao Wei glanced at Lu Minghua, "Come with me."

Once inside the study, Miao Wei slammed the door shut and punched Lu Minghua square in the face.

"I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. If it weren’t for you provoking Lu Mingting, the Miao Family wouldn’t be in this mess."

Since he was already injured, Lu Minghua was dazed by the blow.
