Lu Cheng'an chased after Chenghuan all the way. After much coaxing and cajoling, he finally managed to calm down his little sister, whose face was a mess from crying, and convince her to go home first instead of throwing a tantrum on the street.
Back home, Lu Cheng'an was still fuming.
But looking at his sister's red, puffy eyes, he couldn't bear to say any more harsh words, so he directed all his pent-up anger at Huo Dongzhou.
He locked himself in his room, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
'It felt like the precious little cabbage he'd carefully tended for twenty years was being eyed by a wild boar named Huo Dongzhou before it had even fully ripened.'
'And to make matters worse, this "wild boar" was someone he had once called a brother and brought into their circle himself!'
At dinnertime, the atmosphere in the house was a little delicate.
Lu Chenghuan kept her head down and ate in silence, her eyes still a little puffy.
