Chapter 227 A Disagreement
Chapter 227 A Disagreement
Now that they were on their own turf, Lu Mingxi naturally provocatively showed Gu Yumei Lu Yuanhuan's dowry.
Because of this action, everyone gathered around out of curiosity.
Then, in her shock and without thinking, Gu Yumei blurted out, "A country bumpkin like that can afford such a large dowry!"
These words embarrassed the Gu family and angered the Lu family.
Lu Yuanqing was the type of person who never admitted defeat in a verbal battle. He spoke quickly, saying, "There's nothing we can do. We country bumpkins may not have much else, but we have plenty of money. We can buy whatever we want!"
These words made the elders of the Gu family, who valued their reputation, even more embarrassed, but fortunately, Gu Yumei also blushed with anger.
Lu Yuanqing also thought of something similar, and shook his head helplessly, "I just blurted it out, I didn't mean to say that!"
No matter how much he disliked Gu Yumei, he would never embarrass her in that situation; he really didn't think straight.
"But you still said it, Uncle! You don't know, the way you said it gave me a very domineering feeling, I thought it was extremely powerful. You didn't see Gu Yumei's face at that time, Uncle, it was terribly ugly!" Lu Mingxi said with a laugh.
"They still think we're country bumpkins, now they're dumbfounded! We country folk earn more than them every year!"
Lu Mingdong's assessment remained as accurate as ever: "He looks down on people because he's a dog!"
Lu Mingxi agreed with him and patted him on the shoulder, laughing heartily.
This sight made Lu Yuanqing shake his head.
But the smiles on their faces showed that they were very happy.
The only one who was unhappy was Lu Mingdong. His small body was slapped loudly by Lu Mingxi. He dodged and kept dodging until his body turned to the ground. He almost fell to the ground, but Cheng Xia caught him on the other side.
"Xiao west, stop patting Xiao Dong, you're going to knock him to the ground!" Cheng Xia said with a laugh.
Lu Mingdong blushed slightly, quickly sat up straight, and pushed Lu Mingxi away, saying, "Go take the picture yourself!"
Lu Mingxi loved to contradict him the most. Hearing this, she raised her chin and continued, "I'm going to slap you, slap you until your hand hurts!"
Lu Mingdong was furious and immediately slapped back!
*Slap!* Lu Mingdong slapped Lu Mingxi with three-tenths of his strength.
*Smack!* Lu Mingxi slapped back, with five points of force.
*Smack!* Lu Mingdong used seven-tenths of his strength this time.
Snapped!
Lu Mingxi exerted all his strength, even his teeth were clenched.
Lu Mingdong called back.
Cheng Xia watched in utter bewilderment as their playful banter escalated into a serious fight.
No, how did they actually start fighting?
"Xiao west, Xiao Dong, let go, let go now!" Cheng Xia's face showed obvious anxiety. It was the first time she had ever seen a fight break out over a mere disagreement.
Moreover, the two are cousins.
Cheng Xia was too weak to pull the two apart, so she could only look anxiously at Lu Yuanqing and the others.
Lu Yuanbo tilted his head: They still fight as soon as they meet, even though they're not together. Neither of them would fight with other family members.
Lu Yuanhuan smiled and shrugged. She used to interfere, but now she no longer gets involved in their fights.
None of the others offered any explanation; some watched the fight, while others turned their heads away, leaving Cheng Xia alone, anxious and helpless.
Lu Yuanqing couldn't stand it anymore and told Cheng Xia not to interfere, "They're like this at home too. Don't worry, nothing serious will happen. They'll stop when they're tired of fighting!"
After all, he had made it clear to his sons that if any of them fought with family members and killed someone, he wouldn't hesitate to intervene.
Moreover, they are all family, having grown up together since childhood. You might not see it in everyday life, but their feelings for each other are genuine. It's just that they have too much free time, so they argue and then fight over the smallest things.
Therefore, they won't resort to excessive force; it's just a habit they're used to.
However, Lu Yuanqing still felt deeply ashamed. "I said, how old are you? I won't mention that you used to fight over trivial things when you were little, but now that you're all grown up, is it really okay to fight like children?"
"Disgraceful!" Lu Yuanbo.
"Uh, um!" Lu Yuanhuan!
Cheng Xia: "..."
No! If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she simply wouldn't have believed it.
What does it mean to fight frequently?
Lu Mingxi usually likes to talk to her about his family, but he always says nice things.
Lu Mingdong didn't appear very often, but Cheng Xia clearly remembered Lu Mingxi boasting in her ear that Lu Mingdong was very smart, and that if Lu Mingdong studied with them, Cheng Xia could forget about being number one, and that number one could only belong to Lu Yuanbo!
The words of praise he had once received still echoed in his ears, and now these two were fighting right in front of him.
The others seemed used to it.
Is this what sibling love is like?
Cheng Xia was stunned!
Lu Mingxi and Lu Mingdong each grabbed the other's hair and pinched the other's face.
That's right, Lu Yuanqing said that you can't hit someone's face in a fight, you can't scratch their face, and you can't use your fingernails to hit their face.
So Lu Mingxi bit Lu Mingdong's shoulder, and with both hands pulled Lu Mingdong's cheeks outwards, without letting her nails touch his face the whole time.
Lu Mingdong grabbed Lu Mingxi's hair and pulled her back, while placing his other hand on her forehead in an attempt to push her off his shoulder and even try to remove her teeth from his shoulder!
"I'll say one, two, three, and we'll all let go!" Lu Mingdong said coldly.
This stalemate is pointless; usually, in situations like this, both of them need to take a break.
Lu Mingxi's mouth was constantly occupied, so she nodded, which caused her hair to be pulled, and she bit down even harder.
一
two
three
The two let go at the same time, in perfect unison.
Then they all coldly tidied up their messy hair and clothes.
Lu Mingdong rubbed his face. He had a chubby face, and when he was a child, he had very obvious baby fat, so Lu Yuanqing and the others liked to pinch his face. Lu Mingxi also liked to pinch his face and pull it to both sides when they fought!
"Have you had enough?" Lu Yuanqing said calmly.
snort!
They both snorted simultaneously!
"They've grown so big, they're really beautiful!" Lu Yuanqing knew what sarcastic remarks were.
"It's all because she caused trouble, otherwise I wouldn't bother with her!" Lu Mingdong said coldly.
"You called first."
"You took my picture first."
"It's you……"
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
"I'm still young, please excuse my poor appearance!"
Cheng Xia chuckled, "You do look a bit immature!"
She knew Lu Mingxi, but every time she saw how Lu Mingxi interacted with her family, she felt that it was very different from usual. She seemed more relaxed and more outspoken.
As for Lu Mingdong, she rarely had such interactions with him, so this was naturally the first time she had seen another side of this little iceberg.
Lu Mingxi would never speak ill of her family; when she did talk about them, she always said good things, as if her family were the best.
However, after spending only a few days together, Cheng Xia felt that Lu Mingdong was not only a bit cold, but also had a sharp tongue and was very unkind to his family.
Should she feel lucky? She hasn't even experienced Lu Mingdong's sharp tongue yet!
