Li Zao walked into the Lu family's old house and saw Zhu Ziqiu making tea from a distance.
As soon as she entered, Zhu Ziqiu invited her to sit at the tea table.
"Li Zao is here. It's really hard for you to come here on such a hot day. Come on, have a cup of warm scented tea to moisten your lungs and remove dampness."
Li Zao and Zhu Ziqiu had almost nothing to do with each other, that is, when paying New Year greetings, they would say auspicious words and get a red envelope.
Now Li Zao sued Lu Yao again.
No one could believe that Zhu Ziqiu could still warmly make tea and greet her.
"Thank you grandma. Grandpa wants to chat with me, so I won't drink tea because I'm afraid he will wait too long."
Zhu Ziqiu choked and watched her go straight to the study.
After Li Zao walked in, she immediately put the teapot down with an angry look on her face.
I had seen her keep silent in the past, but I had never seen her to be so stubborn. She would not listen to anything, and even refused to negotiate.
If you don't drink the toast, you will be punished with a drink, then just wait to be kicked out.
Li Zao walked into the study room, and the old man was sitting upright in front of the desk, waiting for her.
In the five years since he came here, Li Zao can count the number of times he has been here on one hand.
It was the first time for me to come here alone.
"Sit down," Lu Ming raised his finger and pointed to the chair opposite the desk, "Would you like some tea?"
It was tea again, Li Zao shook his head, "Thank you, no need."
"Is your mother awake?"
"No."
Lu Ming sighed deeply, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Grandpa, just say what you want to say," Li had already prepared, "except for asking me to withdraw the lawsuit."
Lu Ming's face was always indifferent, and his true thoughts in his heart could not be revealed at all. He smiled and said, "Withdraw the lawsuit? Why should we withdraw the lawsuit when we have such a good opportunity to educate our children? They have been spoiled and domineering since they were young, and no one can cure them.
We should teach them a lesson, so that they don’t know that the sky is the limit and cause greater trouble for the Lu family in the future. As parents, we are reluctant to scold them out of love, so let the law discipline them. It’s time to pay compensation.
They should be re-education through labor, but they will still be good children of my Lu family when they come out. As long as the Lu family does not collapse, they will still have a bright future."
This is the truth, but Li Zao felt chills running down his spine when he heard it.
The old man was telling her that as long as she was a member of the Lu family, even if she committed crimes, she would still be able to live a prosperous life in the future.
Li Zao couldn't control his expression as well as the old man, and his inner uneasiness and panic were all reflected on his face.
"Li Zao, you are a smart man. You should have been prepared for divorce when you decided to sue."
Li Zao pursed his lips and said nothing, indeed.
"But my grandson protects you very closely and would rather go against me than get divorced."
Li Zao's heart suddenly felt sour, as if his heart had been torn open, and his eye circles were red.
She had been extremely disappointed with Lu Xiangning and wanted to divorce him to make things happen for him and Zhao Zichu.
The pain is painful, but at least I am running towards relief.
Now, Lu Xiangning cared for her very much and was willing to spend money on her and spend time on her. She slowly gave up the idea of divorce.
Did she want to cause trouble to this point? Did she want to go against the entire Lu family?
Being willing to let go and being forced to let go are completely different feelings.
Lu Ming spoke at a steady pace, without much fluctuation in his emotions, as if everything was under his control.
He said: "A Ning is the successor of the Lu Group, but after all, he is still young and fledgling. The Lu family is not only our family, but also has many uncles and branches. If they unite, they will also have great power. Today I can
Let him take the position of president of the Lu Group, and they will be able to remove him in the future."
"They say that a child without a mother is like grass. They also say that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. If I hadn't personally taken care of An Ning these years, it's not certain whether he would have grown up safely. An Ning would have grown up to be what he is now.
In this way, we have put in unimaginable efforts."
"Your mother-in-law is very ambitious. The Bai family has a place in Jiangcheng. It is not impossible for them to help A Jin up. She said that she regards A Ning as her biological son. In fact, do you believe it?
?Whenever Aning makes a mistake, the first person to pull him down is Bai Xuting."
"Li Zao, you are now the fault of An Ning..."
Lu Ming picked up the teacup, took a sip, and moistened his throat.
Li Zao gritted his teeth tightly and clenched his hands into fists on his thighs, trembling slightly because of the exertion.
Others don't know how hard Lu Xiangning works, but she knows best.
At that time, he was in the hospital. As soon as he could sit up, he started working with his notebook. He was either writing or listening to lectures. Sometimes someone came to visit him. It wasn't that he had a bad temper and didn't want to see people, but he wanted to listen to lectures.
Later, his health gradually improved, and he led a small team of five or six people to hold meetings and discussions in the ward. Rehabilitation in the morning and meetings in the afternoon were his daily routine.
This is why he was able to go back to work as soon as he was discharged from the hospital without any discomfort.
He works hard and is down-to-earth. If anyone questions that he relies on nepotism, he will not explain and will only use his strength to slap those people in the face.
Li Zao saw all this.
"I'm sorry about your mother. I didn't educate my daughter and granddaughter well, but Aning, I have worked hard to cultivate him for more than 20 years, and I will not allow him to be ruined by a woman."
"Don't worry, the Lu family will not treat you badly. All the medical expenses for your mother in Lu's Hospital will be paid by the Lu family. The family funds given to you in the past will not be taken back, and you will be compensated another 200 million."
Li Zao twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Grandpa is really generous, much more generous than Lu Xiangning."
"agree?"
"You are so generous, I have no reason to refuse, but... what if he doesn't agree?"
The old man smiled calmly and said, "It's not his turn to disagree. Your marriage is invalid because he didn't sign it."
Li Zao seemed to have lost the life-saving straw all of a sudden, and the only light in her heart was extinguished. She smiled bitterly and nodded, but her voice was choked, "Grandpa is still thoughtful."
So what if she was mentally prepared, what if she had predicted it in advance, but at the moment when the huge wave came, she was still overturned.
Outside the old house.
Ji Li sat in the car and kept looking at the gate.
It's been half an hour since Li Zao came out, and he couldn't sit still.
He took out his cell phone, found Brother Lu's number, and dialed it without much hesitation.
"Ji Li," Lu Xiangning answered quickly, with a slightly confused tone, "Is something wrong?"
"Brother Lu, Grandpa Lu is looking for Li Zao. Li Zao has been in for a while. I'm a little worried. After thinking about it, I still have to look for you."
Lu Xiangning was extremely surprised, "My grandfather is looking for Li Zao?"
"yes."
"Then how did you know?"
"We'll talk about it later. Brother Lu, you'd better come here first. What if Grandpa Lu wants to deal with Li Zao?"
Lu Xiangning didn't reply and hung up the phone directly.
Ji Li opened the door and got out of the car, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the Lu family's door.
