Chapter 23：Hand Her Over, Gigolo!

"C-Come… come back." Tang Xinluo was so terrified that her little face had turned ashen. She ran after the man and caught his arm. "Don't be so impulsive. Tell me what you're after. Is it money or something else? I'll give it to you. Just don't go out of this room!"

Tang Xinluo was completely wrong about Lu Yuchen's identity. She had mistaken him for a gigolo whose main objective was to blackmail her for more benefits. Once she realized Lu Yuchen was ignoring her and had continued to walk towards the door, she threw all caution to the wind and reached out with both hands to hug the man around his waist.

"Don't go… please don't open the door."

The woman plastered her soft body at the man's back causing his long frame to tense up instantly.

…

The room door opened at this exact moment.

As it turned out, Old Mrs. Lu had given her consent for Butler Meng to open the door for Gong Xuemei while Tang Xinluo and Lu Yuchen were in a tangle.

The door was unlocked from the outside without further delay. Gong Xuemei and her minions rushed into the room like a storm.

"Slut, let's see where you are going to hide. Wh-who are you?"

Gong Xuemei stormed in with her minions. She saw the naked torso of Lu Yuchen with just a towel hanging loosely around his waist and promptly began scolding him with her finger pointing in his direction.

"Tell me. Are you that woman's adulterer? I have always known she is not a simpleton. Tsk-tsk… just look at her figure and features… our poor Qinghao has been desperately working and earning money outside. She, on the other hand, is actually using his hard-earned money to keep a gigolo. You, the freeloading gigolo, tell me where my daughter-in-law is. Get her to come before me right this instance!"

Gong Xuemei had been the second mistress of her husband, Lu Zhihe, before she became his legitimate wife. Lu Zhihe belonged to another branch of the Lu family. The opportunity for him to see Lu Yuchen was rare. For a woman who was previously a mistress before she gained her status, it was next to impossible for her to see Lu Yuchen.

She was totally clueless about the identity of this man who was standing in front of her with cold, piercing eyes.

Lu Yuchen looked at the woman with a sullen face. She was pointing her index finger in his face while scolding him. The icy look from his eyes could almost cause a person's destruction.

"Uncle Meng, did you let these people in?" he said in a cold and emotionless voice. Butler Meng had stayed outside by the doorway because he had not intended to get involved. However, his legs began to wobble once he heard Lu Yuchen's voice coming from the room.

"Y-Yes, I… did."

Butler Meng entered, quivering. When he saw Lu Yuchen's lower body wrapped with only the towel, the old butler knew he had caused a disaster.

Allowing a woman like Gong Xuemei and her minions to create disturbance was a great insult to the Young Master. No matter who he had chosen to spend the night with in this house.

"Mrs. Lu, please take your leave with haste. This is not the place for you to come to."

Butler Meng was truly apologetic for his actions. Had he known earlier that the Young Master would be bringing a woman into this room to have an intimate time, he wouldn't have opened the door for Gong Xuemei and company even if his gut was made of steel.

"Butler Meng, how can you ask me to leave at this crucial moment? Can't you see what has happened here? Look at the bed. You can definitely smell the disgusting scent in this room. That slut must still be in there! Yes. The gigolo must have hidden her. Gigolo, you better give me Tang Xinluo quickly!"

Gong Xuemei was still in the dark about Lu Yuchen's real identity. She thought he was just like her—a member from another branch of the Lu family when she heard him call the butler 'Uncle Meng'.

The third and fourth floors of the mansion had always served as a permanent residence for the owners of the main Lu family. The second floor was used as temporary accommodation for the guests. There was an imposing manner about the man, but he didn't look very old. Perhaps, like her, he was just a relative from another branch of the Lu family.

She was here to catch the adulterous couple. By right, she shouldn't have to be afraid of the members from another branch.
