Chapter 27: You are a fake

 Chapter 27: You are a fake

Shu Yu's slap not only stunned the people in the courtyard, including the old lady Ruan, but also the villagers outside who were staring in confusion.

Isn't this girl the one who came from the Lu family yesterday? What is she doing here? Does the Lu family want to recognize her as their own and take care of her?

Just then, Uncle Lu Dabao and Lu Dasong were called back from the fields and rushed over to see what was happening. They were still confused as they listened to Lu San, who was explaining the situation.

Shu Yu stood in the courtyard, frowned, and looked at the girl who was holding onto Ruan's arm. She said, "Let go."

The girl's body trembled a bit, but she still stubbornly replied, "Who are you? This is my mother, why should I let go?"

"Just because you're a fake."

Fake? This statement not only changed the expressions of Ruan and the girl, but also caused the villagers outside to start whispering to each other.

Shu Yu walked past the old lady Ruan and took steps toward Ruan and the girl.

When she got closer, she saw the girl holding onto Ruan's bony hand and reached out to pull her hand away.

"You..." The girl widened her eyes in anger and wanted to fight Shu Yu.

But she quickly realized her situation and suppressed her anger, instead looking pitifully at Ruan. "Mom, who is she? How could she treat me like this?"

Ruan Shi's fingers trembled as she grabbed the girl again and looked at Shu Yu. She opened her mouth and called out weakly, "Miss Shu."

Her expression was pleading and confused, and Shu Yu understood. Ruan Shi was not completely sure, but as Lu Erbai had said, she was already a bit crazy about Er Ya's situation.

She had an obsession in her heart, even if she knew that the other person might be fake, her subconscious still wanted to believe that she was her own daughter.

Without Lu Erbai or the old lady to wake her up, Ruan Shi walked into her own illusion and refused to come out.

Shu Yu looked at the girl beside her and saw her raise her chin proudly since she was held by Ruan Shi again. Shu Yu squinted, and this time she wasn't as gentle as before. She raised her hand and swung it directly at the girl.

"Ah..." The girl screamed in pain and quickly let go.

She was really angry now. Without saying a word, she opened her five fingers and grabbed towards Shu Yu's face with a ferocious expression.

Ruan Shi stood nearby, watching everything clearly. Instinctively, she shouted, "Miss Shu, be careful!"

Shu Yu tilted her head to avoid the attack and lifted her knee to hit the girl's stomach. While she was bent over in pain, Shu Yu kicked her legs and sent her tumbling to the ground, unable to get up.

"Wow." The villagers outside the courtyard exclaimed, "Why did they just start fighting like that?"

Lu Laosan couldn't help but touch his own leg. He had taken the best spot to watch the excitement early on, so he naturally saw everything that Shu Yu did.

Aren't women supposed to fight by scratching, biting, pulling hair, and cursing at each other? But this girl's moves were clean and neat. Clearly, she was a skilled fighter.

Fortunately, when he wanted to settle the score with her the night before, his own mother threatened him and made him go back home. Otherwise, he would have been the one lying on the ground after just a few moves.

Lu Dasong, who was standing next to him, had already heard the whole story and was about to go inside.

Although he didn't usually have much contact with the second family, with the mother and second brother both absent, and the matter of finding Er Ya, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
