2438 The Lu Family and Lu Yiming Paid a Price
The more he mentioned Qiao Nian, the more accurately he stepped into Lu Zhi's minefield!
Lu Zhi had been willing to ease up with the Lu family in the past few years because Qiao Nian's words had moved him.
The Lu family?
He had never taken them seriously!
However, Lu Yiming really thought that the Lu family's insignificant kinship could tie him down!
Lu Zhi looked at his pale and sickly face in the mirror; his eyes were cold and ruthless. He slowly said, "Since you pity your childhood sweetheart so much, go down with her."
"I also want to see if you're still useful to her after you're down and out."
Matriarch Lu's expression drastically changed. She snatched the phone and hurriedly apologized. "Xiao Zhi, don't be angry. Your father and I don't know about this. I'll definitely give you an explanation!"
"There's no need," Lu Zhi said calmly. "Tell Lu Zhenshan to live his own life. I'm not free, and I won't be free in the future."
"Xiao Zhi!" Matriarch Lu shouted anxiously.
The call had already ended.
Matriarch Lu hurriedly called him and immediately realized that she could no longer reach Lu Zhi.
She changed to the landline, but it was the same. Lu Zhi seemed to have blacked their numbers.
Matriarch Lu tried all the methods she could. She even called Father Lu, who was discussing matters outside, to contact Lu Zhi.
It was the same.
Matriarch Lu finally confirmed that Lu Zhi was serious this time. Her legs went weak and she almost could not stand still. She weakly held the sofa for support.
"Grandma." Worried, Lu Yiming tried to help her up.
Matriarch Lu was furious upon seeing that he had yet to realize the severity of the matter and slapped him on the face.
A slap resounded throughout the Lu residence!
None of the servants dared to speak.
Lu Yiming's hair was in a mess as he covered his stinging face. His mind was blank as he looked up at Matriarch Lu, whose face was red with anger. "Grandma?"
Matriarch Lu's blood pressure soared and her vision blurred. She only stared at him fiercely and scolded, "Sinner! The Lu family is going to be destroyed by you!"
Lu Yiming opened his mouth, unable to understand what he had done wrong. Why was everyone scolding him?
Matriarch Lu was so angry that her blood pressure soared. Looking at his aggrieved expression, her blood surged again. Her vision darkened, and her body tilted to the left. She had already collapsed weakly.
"Grandma!" Lu Yiming's expression changed drastically. He immediately ran over and called the servant. "Hurry up and call the hospital! Prepare the car, prepare the car!"
His cell phone lit up at this moment. It was a call from Ji Ziyin.
The Lu family was in chaos.
Although Lu Yiming saw Ji Ziyin's call from the corner of his eye, he was too exhausted to answer it.
He carried Matriarch Lu on his back and hurriedly got into the car, rushing to the hospital…

Ji Ziyin was not in a hurry even though she did not get through to Lu Yiming.
She comforted Gu Fan, who was sitting opposite her and wiping her tears absent-mindedly. Gu Fan grabbed her hand again and asked her to think of a way to find him.
A little annoyed, Ji Ziyin calmly pulled her hand away and softly said, "I've already asked my friend to look for Qiao Nian."
Then, she said with a regretful expression, "But as you can see, it's not that I don't want to help you find Teacher. My friend isn't answering his phone. I think… I'm afraid I won't be able to help this time."
