The Devil who devoured Snow White

Arriving at the Lu Family Residence, Yong Liwei was transferred to a wheelchair by his men. It was not like he couldn't walk but due to the wound on both his legs, to avoid them from opening up again, he has to avoid walking in the meantime.

Entering the mansion, Lu Mengjie saw her father, carrying Little Peanut, and was waving the rattle toy with him. Lu Xian Yu seemed to be enjoying his time with his grandson. When he noticed the presence of the baby's parents, he turned their way.

"Mengjie, you're here."

Lu Mengjie went to her father's side and greeted him with a kiss on his cheek before she turned to her son who smiled brightly upon seeing her. "Seems like he likes you."

"Of course he does~" Lu Xian Yu's smile instantly dropped the moment his eyes landed on Yong Liwei whose wheelchair was being pushed closer by one of his men. "And of course you are here too. I heard what happened from Liqin. Bibi and I were supposed to visit you later but it's good to see that you're fine. Thank you for saving my daughter and grandson."

"No need to thank me, they're my family. It's my duty as a husband and father to protect them," Yong Liwei replied. He had his usual expressionless look on his face. 

"I apologize for troubling you with Huasheng, dad."

"Nonsense. He is not a trouble at all. This little guy is pretty behaved for his age," he replied with a chuckle as he handed his daughter's son to her. "Anyway, is 'Huasheng' his name?"

"Nope. It's his nickname. My son's full name is Yong Xiumin. Huasheng is only a nickname I gave since I've been craving for peanuts when I was carrying him and also, he looked like a tiny peanut when I first saw him when I had my first ultrasound," she explained. "Even now, my baby is as cute as a peanut!"

Lu Xian Yu chuckled. "Indeed, he is."

Lu Mengjie was prepared to be asked by her father about how she got pregnant but as she waited for such questions, her father didn't bring it up. She watched him order a servant to bring some teas and some snacks for them.

She sat on the couch beside her husband and as she did, she finally asked him out of curiosity, "Dad, are you not going to ask?"

Her father eyed Yong Liwei for a second before he turned his gaze back to his daughter. The night when Xia Liqin brought Little Peanut and told him that the baby was his daughter's, he was so shocked that he ended up fainting. When he regained his consciousness, the first person he saw was Little Peanut who was laying beside him and was staring at him with his adorable eyes. At that instant, his heart was captured by the child. 

"There's no point in asking when it has already happened," Lu Xian Yu replied as he picked the cup of tea from the table. "It's not like my words will change anything so let's not dwell in the past. What matters is the present and how we choose to live in it. I've always told you since you were young, how will you be the change you want to see? In the end, even if I have my own beliefs, all I can do is guide you, Mengmeng. You always have the final say."

"Uh-uh, even my final say usually caused me to be grounded." She grinned jokingly at her father.

He chuckled in response. "You are my only girl, you can't blame me for being strict around you."

Yong Liwei stared at the two, quietly listening to their conversation. The side of his lips curled up into a subtle smile as he commented, "now I know who your daughter takes after the most."

Lu Xian Yu seemed to be pleased by what he said when he proudly replied, "Of course."

She chuckled a bit, rolling her eyes just to tease him. She was lucky to have three good parents that guided her as she grew up. Lu Mengjie looked around as she searched for her mother. "By the way, where is mom?"

"She's hunting someone."

She blinked a few times in confusion as she echoed, "hunting?"

"We won't just sit around after knowing that our daughter's family has almost been killed. She's currently working on the surveillance cameras around the place where the incident happened. As for the person behind…" He paused. His expression suddenly turned dark and a sinister smile appeared on his lips. "They better get ready to face me."

"Ah…" Lu Mengjie had been trying to keep her family away from getting involved with her problems but now that they knew about it, she wouldn't be able to stop them from making a move. Aside from that… if the people behind the attack were connected to the Azure Republic, they would need all the help they could get.

"You're getting old, Lu Xian Yu, you will need my help," Yong Liwei said. Whoever was behind the attack, he was not going to sit still and do nothing. They would have to face his wrath as well.

Lu Xian Yu scoffed, "me? Getting old? Do you want to have a taste of my fist?"

"Two oldies talking about fistfights huh? That'll be a fun thing to see."

They all turned towards Li Bingbing who entered the room.

"You should have messaged me that you were coming," Li Bingbing said as she stood before them, looking like a badass in her all-black attire.

Lu Xian Yu blinked a few times upon seeing his wife's getup. "Are you going somewhere?"

"I'm going to attend a funeral, do you want to come?" She adjusted her black sling bag. She looked more like she was going to kill someone with her striking blood-red lipstick and black dress. She was wearing lace-up high pointy heels.

"Whose funeral?" Her husband asked.

"Bai Keran."
