The entire living room suddenly fell into deathly silence.
Mr. Lu moved his lips and wanted to say something, but something seemed to be squeezing his heart, and he couldn't say a word.
Mrs. Zhao was still holding her daughter Zhao Minyao's mobile phone in her hand. Her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and her expression was full of confusion.
She remembered her confident words to Lu Xixin before.
She said, there are no bad parents in this world. Even if your parents are bad and wrong in every way, after all, you should be filial and considerate after giving birth to you.
But now...
Mrs. Zhao clenched her phone tightly, her face full of embarrassment.
Mr. Zhao and Zhao Minyao both lowered their eyes, shocked by this sudden turn of events, and were speechless for a long time.
Mother Lu was even more confused, her mind was blank now.
Feeling helpless and frightened.
She has always regarded Lu Xixin as her biological daughter. Even if she doesn't like, be close to or love her, deep down in her heart she has never denied the fact that she is her biological daughter.
She took all Lu Xixin's requests, instructions, and orders as a matter of course and felt that they were perfectly justified.
Lu Xixin is her daughter, born to her, and she is Lu Xixin's biological mother.
As a mother, does she not even have the right to teach her daughter a lesson?
She never thought that Lu Xixin might not be her daughter!
All Mother Lu's self-confidence was deflated at this moment.
Apart from being discouraged, there was also a hint of vague pain in my heart.
The pain was very small, but it swelled and fermented silently in her heart, and finally slowly spread throughout her body, making her bones ache.
Mother Lu bit her lower lip, as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out.
That girl she didn't expect, that she hated, finally had nothing to do with her!
Mother Lu slowly curled up, her heart hurting beyond measure, and her eyesight turned black.
Finally, unable to bear the palpitation-like pain, Mother Lu fainted.
"mom--"
"Minyi——"
"sister--"
After the bursts of exclamations, there was a chaos of people coming and going.
I don't know how long it took, but Mother Lu gradually woke up. In the hazy state, she heard someone arguing.
"Mom, are you crazy! It's already this time and you are still trying to get hold of Xixin. She is no longer the daughter of the Lu family. Aren't the Lu family unwilling to recognize her? This situation is not what they want!"
"Min Yao!" Mrs. Zhao was furious, her face gloomy, "Whose side are you on?"
Zhao Minyao folded her hands on her chest and said in a cold tone: "I will stand on whichever side is right. People's Daily Online has concluded the verdict, why are you still fussing? Do you think paternity testing is so easy to do? If Lu Xixin
If you don’t agree, you can’t do it!”
Mrs. Zhao said with a sullen face: "I don't care, you go and find a way. Don't you have a good relationship with Lu Xixin? Then go to England and find a way to get her hair. You must do a paternity test!"
Mr. Zhao also spoke: "Minyao, we are not forcing you. Look at your sister. She is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. She keeps saying she doesn't care about Lu Xixin, but in fact she still misses her daughter in her heart. She is not in good health to begin with.
Because something happened in this matter, wouldn't you feel guilty?"
Zhao Minyao: "..."
"Min Yao." Mr. Zhao continued, "Your sister has already lost Lu Xixin once, can you bear to let her lose her a second time?"
The anger accumulated in Zhao Minyao's heart exploded with a bang following Mr. Zhao's words.
Her face condensed, she raised her eyes to look at her father, and said word by word: "I can't bear it, why can't I bear it! At your birthday party, she personally said that Lu Xixin was not her daughter. What she said personally, how can I be so embarrassed now?
Swallow it back?
When people are attached to her, she ignores them and is cruel and indifferent; when people are completely disappointed in her, she regrets and feels uncomfortable again, why is she so mean! She insists on being ignored, and insists on chasing after her! "
"Pa—" a loud slap sounded.
Mrs. Zhao's chest heaved violently, and her eyes were full of sharpness: "Zhao Minyao, why do you say that about your sister? Do you still have a conscience? Are you worried? She is your sister and she is sick. You should take care of her and be considerate.
How could she say such a thing? You disappoint me so much!"
Zhao Minyao was hit to the side of the head and did not move for a long time.
After a while, he slowly turned his head.
Looking at her angry mother, she laughed at herself: "Am I not considerate of her enough? Am I not considerate enough?"
Zhao Minyao blinked, trying to blink away the wetness in her eyes, but her eyes became increasingly wet.
She took a deep breath and swallowed more in her throat: "Mom, I am over forty years old this year and have been in charge of the Zhao family for more than ten years. Do you still treat me as a child?"
Zhao Minyao didn't want to speak so clearly, but she couldn't help it.
"Why not let the Lu family go find Lu Xixin, why not let Lu Cheng inherit it?" Zhao Minyao sneered, "Because you know that what happened this time is very strange. You can take the paternity test certificate from the Lu family without leaving a trace, and you can erase it.
The dropping of the records from the appraisal center has made People's Daily Online even more decisive, which shows that the power behind Lu Xixin is very powerful. It is so powerful that the Lu family is not willing to confront anyone head-on, let alone dare to touch it."
"So, let me go. Even if it offends Lu Xixin, you can use the relationship between me and her to ease it. If it can't be eased, then push me out to take the blame. Anyway, Xingyang, Xingchen and the others are big too.
, just in time to take over the Zhao family."
These words are so hurtful to say.
However, Zhao Minyao has been holding it in for more than 20 years, and she doesn't want to spit it out.
At that time, she already had a well-matched boyfriend and was about to get engaged, but her father had an accident and injured his leg.
The eldest brother likes to draw, is naive and cannot support the Zhao family at all, while the second brother loves to play, has a wild temper, and is not willing to be bound by responsibilities.
What should I do? Only she can do it!
A well-matched boyfriend broke up because her father was worried, fearing that after she got married, she would turn her heart to her husband's family and give Mrs. Zhao to someone else.
She stopped learning the piano she loved so much because she didn’t have the time and energy, so she wanted to support Zhao with all her strength.
In fact, Zhao Minyao didn't think that much at first. Even if she realized that her parents were partial to her sister, she didn't take it seriously, because she also loved her sister and everyone in the Zhao family.
But the longer she took charge of the Zhao family, the greater the conflict with her father became, and her heart gradually grew cold.
The second brother has been humiliating her at home and even started to take action to drive her out.
Zhao Minyao didn't believe that her father didn't know.
He just pretended not to know and let his second brother abuse her.
Especially in the past two years, nephew Zhao Xingyang returned from studying abroad and took over the Zhao family.
The conflict between the aunt and nephew is getting bigger and bigger, almost to the point of being irreconcilable. Although the father appears to be on the same page, he privately donates all the shares to his nephew, and even does so in front of everyone at the shareholders' meeting.
, scolded her several times.
Reduce her prestige.
It's not that Zhao Minyao doesn't want to let go of the Zhao family enterprise. She is 44 years old, has never been married, and has no children. To her, her nephews are no different from her own.
She really wanted to train her nephew to inherit the Zhao family, but her nephew was too young now and his methods were too immature, so she could not let him go.
Unexpectedly, just because of this uneasiness, she was hated by her nephew and suspected by her father.
Mrs. Zhao did not expect that her daughter would have so many complaints in her heart.
"Min Yao..." she called out, looking helpless: "Why do you miss me and your dad so much? I just thought you had a good relationship with Lu Xixin and could get her hair, so I let you go.
And because I was too impatient and worried about your sister, I beat you, without any intention of making you take the blame."
"And Yuan Hai." Mrs. Zhao explained anxiously, "You know how fierce he is. You are so sensible, why are you so ignorant of him?"
Zhao Minyao lowered her eyes, twitched her eyelashes, and said after a while: "I will not go to Lu Xixin."
"Min Yao -" Mrs. Zhao frowned, "Why have you become like this? Why are you so selfish? Your sister is sick, and you, the younger sister, are not even willing to help her?"
Zhao Minyao raised her eyes and spoke calmly: "I haven't helped her enough. She is already over 50 years old and is no longer a little girl. She should handle some things by herself and can no longer rely on others."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao became more and more disappointed, pointing at Zhao Minyao and being speechless for a long time.
At this time, Mr. Zhao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:
"Min Yao, you have to understand that without me and the Zhao family, you wouldn't be where you are today."
"Don't let outsiders call you Mr. Zhao a few times, and you will really be in trouble. Sometimes, platform is more important than ability."
"Also, let me remind you that if I can get you to sit in the position of President Zhao, I can let you go."
"Aren't you complaining that my bowl of water is uneven and partial to Xingyang? Then I'll show you what true partiality is."
Mr. Zhao's tone was serious and merciless.
Zhao Minyao was startled for a moment, then raised her eyes slightly and looked at her father.
Then he lowered his eyes and whispered: "Okay, I will take the initiative to resign without you having to do anything."
After saying that, he opened the door and left.
"Min Yao!" Mrs. Zhao called out, wanting to catch up, but she was worried about Mother Lu who was unconscious on the bed, so she could only stamp her feet anxiously.
She complained about Mr. Zhao: "What are you talking about? You know clearly that your daughter has resentment in her heart, but you still want to provoke her!"
Mr. Zhao was also very surprised.
He said those words deliberately to irritate Zhao Minyao and force her to bow her head. She was soft-tempered and would apologize every time.
I never expected that she would resign directly.
After being surprised, Mr. Zhao felt a little embarrassed and felt embarrassed.
There was really a lot of anger in my heart.
"Let her go, I want to see what she can do without the Zhao family?" Mr. Zhao coldly snorted. She has been allowed to manage the Zhao family for so many years, and she has been called Mr. Zhao a few times, which has fostered her ambition.
.
She didn't even think about it, without the Zhao family, she would be where she is today!
She actually dared to complain about Yuan Hai. If Yuan Hai wasn't interested in the family business, how would she have taken the reins of the Zhao family?
What a white-eyed wolf!
No matter how much he gets scolded by Yuan Hai to vent his anger, he won't lose a piece of meat!
