Chapter 17 - Imminent death warning: Within the next half hour, gain understanding of your wife's emotional past and offer her appropriate comfort. Otherwise, please go die right now (3)

Lu Liting could be very cruel. In the novel, when Ji Qingqing had already fallen to the bottom and anyone could step on her, he showed her no mercy. He took petty revenge by having her clean off the red wine that had spilled on the female lead's shoes at a party.

Right now, Lu Lixing was in poor health, so Elder Lu had sent people to bring Lu Liting back. Since his older brother was dying, it was time for him to come back and become the Lu family's successor.

Thud!

It sounded as if something had hit the study's door. Aunty Pei hastily went upstairs. Right as she got to the study, the door slammed open. The lighting in the hallway was weak. The man was illuminated from the light in the study, which was half blocked off by him standing in the doorway. He was faced with Aunty Pei after he had slammed the door open.

Aunty Pei tearfully looked at him. “Second Young Master, you finally came back..."

Lu Liting and Lu Lixing shared many similar facial features. Their defined facial features were reflections of their remarkable abilities. Although he was younger than Lu Lixing, his body's strength and power wasn't less than his older brother's.

Perhaps, because he had been butting heads with Old Master Lu, Lu Liting's breathing wasn't steady. He took a few deep breaths before asking, "Aunty Pei, how's my brother?"

"First Young Master is in his room. The doctor said... He only has the next few days, You should go see him."

Lu Liting nodded.

These two brothers didn't have much to say to each other. Although they had grown up together, they weren't close. Because their personalities were so different, they couldn't even find a shared hobby. After the two brothers had exchanged a few words with each other, Lu Liting left his brother's room within ten minutes of entering.

Lu Liting felt something about his brother's condition was odd. Grandfather had said Lu Lixing was in critical condition, and Aunty Pei said his brother only had a few days left, but Lu Lixing seemed fine to him. He hadn't seemed like a dying patient at all during their brief chat.

Tonight, Lu Liting didn't have the energy to puzzle out what was going on. He had been tired from traveling here, then his grandfather kept him the study for such a long time. He was physically and mentally exhausted. Right now, he just wanted to take a shower and go to sleep.

His gaze fell on the hallway corner. A familiar female figure had appeared here earlier today. Lu Liting rubbed his eyes. He inwardly sneered. It had already been such a long time. Why was he still thinking about that fickle woman?!

He heard the sound of slowly approaching footsteps. A figure appeared at the top of the staircase. The figure looked somewhat familiar to Lu Liting. His forehead scrunched up as if he had thought of something, but in the next moment, he laughed at himself. He was in the Lu family's villa. How could that woman be here?

Just when Lu Liting was thinking there was something wrong with his vision, the figure turned around and met Lu Liting's gaze. Her eyes appeared as surprised as Lu Liting's.

Both parties remained silent for a moment.

"Ji Qingqing!" Lu Liting's eyes looked frighteningly malevolent. He cornered Ji Qingqing, who wanted to hide in her room, against the wall. Grinding his teeth, he demanded, "Why are you here?!"

Ji Qingqing's heart was madly pounding.

She was starting to think she was going to die from a heart attack one day. Just today, she had already been shocked multiple times from these two brothers.

"Why can't I be here?" Backed against a wall, Ji Qingqing forced herself to calm down. She raised her head and looked him in the eye. In no uncertain terms, she stated, "I'm your older sister-in-law. I married your older brother. As I am your elder, please trouble yourself to treat me respectfully."

"Sister-in-law?" Lu Liting's expression immediately turned furious. His fists which were on the wall and next to Ji Qingqing's cheeks was clenched tight. "What are you saying?"

Ji Qingqing gulped. Her legs felt wobbly, but she pretended to be calm. "I said, I'm your older sister-in-law. Your older brother's wife. As the saying goes, an older sister-in-law is like a mother. Please be respectful!"

"You married my brother?!" Lu Liting's emotions cycled from anger to incredulous back to anger.
