Wealthy families have always had their own standards for choosing their daughters-in-law. Even an ordinary wealthy family like the Li family must carefully select a wife for their son, including background, personal abilities, appearance, education, etc., and many assessments.
.
What's more, it's a top wealthy family like the Lu family.
Lu Xiangning was in a special situation at that time, so the Lu family married Li Zao without investigating.
Now that Lu Xiangning is well, every day in the Li family is worried that Li Zao's identity as an illegitimate daughter will be exposed.
It would have been okay if the situation had been explained in advance.
If there is no explanation, if the Lu family discovers it, there will be no explanation.
What's more, Li Zao's biological mother Zheng Keqing is still a psychopath.
Schizophrenia has a certain genetic probability. Even if the Lu family could accept that Li Zao was an illegitimate daughter, they still couldn't accept the possibility that Li Zao had schizophrenia.
After all, it is a matter of great importance to future generations.
The power of the Lu family in Jiangcheng can be said to be overwhelming. If Li Zao's biological mother is discovered, it will not be as simple as divorce and separation.
Therefore, as soon as they saw Lu Xiangning come in, Li Jianxun and Ni Ruoya both changed the topic tacitly.
"An Ning is here. I just asked Li Zao to invite you to have dinner at home, but she insisted that you were too busy to come. Don't you think you're here now?! It's just the right time."
"Yes, we are trying to persuade Li Zao. Aning is so good to you and our family. You should be grateful and help the Lu family as soon as possible."
Li Zao couldn't help but sigh coldly, the acting skills of this greedy and black-hearted couple were really good.
Lu Xiangning strode up to Li Zao and said arrogantly, "Why, why don't you go back to your parents' house to complain even if you have a quarrel?"
Li Zao: "..."
Li Jianxun and Ni Ruoya looked at each other and immediately laughed, "That's right, there are no couples who don't quarrel. Fighting means kissing and scolding, which means they love each other, and quarreling makes them love each other more."
"Your father and I have been quarreling for so many years, but we haven't had any quarrels after all these years. On the contrary, our relationship has become even better."
Li Zao: Act, keep acting.
Lu Xiangning had a smile on his face, but his emotions were unclear. His calm and insightful eyes made Li Jianxun, an old fox, feel a little scared.
He silently nudged Ni Ruoya with his elbow.
Ni Ruoya was not prepared, so she staggered and almost fell down.
"Let's drink tea," Ni Ruoya reacted very quickly and lowered her body to pour the tea. "It's rare for An Ning to come here. This is the best West Lake Longjing. Let's have a drink."
Lu Xiangning waved his hand and refused. He was too lazy to respond to those false politenesses, and instead asked Li Zao, "Didn't you say you wanted to book a restaurant for dinner together tonight? What should I do now, cancel?"
"Huh?" Li Zao looked at him suspiciously.
"Oh, you also said that I don't care about you. You forgot about the big day to receive the certificate."
"..."
Back then, Li Zao came in in a hurry. Lu Xiangning woke up on the third day after entering. The Lu family regarded her as a Bodhisattva. They were afraid that she would regret it, so they immediately invited people from the Civil Affairs Bureau to the ward and registered the two of them on the spot.
At that time, Lu Xiangning had not yet had his tube extubated, he could not speak, and his brain was not functioning properly.
The photo is of p, and the words were signed by his father holding his hand.
But that certificate is indeed true.
The day later announced to the public was an auspicious day selected by the master, which was recorded in the lunar calendar.
The date they remember is the date on the marriage certificate.
It happens to be today.
Lu Xiangning looked at her steadily, waiting for her response.
"Oh, yes, today..."
"You didn't make a reservation at the restaurant?" Lu Xiangning pushed again.
"It's booked, it's booked!" Li Zao went downhill, "So we won't stay for dinner."
"Let's go now? Otherwise, we'll be late and get stuck in traffic. I know you didn't drive, so I'm here to pick you up."
"Hehehe, thank you!"
After the young couple left, Li Jianxun breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Ni Ruoya was inevitably a little worried, "I've also heard that the whole Zhao family has returned to China. Lu Xiangning was in a car accident because he eloped with the daughter of the Zhao family. Li Zao must have discovered something about them, so he wanted a divorce."
"What does this mean? With Lu Xiangning's conditions, most of them are attached. Even if there is no daughter of the Zhao family, there will be others. She should find a way to secure Mrs. Lu's position instead of stupidly getting divorced."
Ni Ruoya didn't answer. As a woman, she disagreed with her husband's views.
But as a person in the same boat, she had to agree.
The Li family now relies on the Lu family for survival, and Li Jianxun's business depends on Lu Xiangning. It is because of the Lu family that her son and daughter got their tickets to the wealthy family.
And Li Zao is the only link between the Li family and the Lu family.
"You also heard what Li Zao said. Lu Xiangning just wanted to divert attention. They will get divorced in less than three months. By then..."
Li Jianxun interrupted, "Li Zao was speaking out of anger. She is most afraid of her mother being exposed. Zheng Keqing was so famous back then, and if she is exposed now, she will die."
Ni Ruoya looked unhappy, "Are you still thinking about her?"
"It's okay. I mean, as long as we hold onto Li Zao, she won't dare to leave. If she doesn't leave, Lu Xiangning won't force him. His life was saved by Li Zao."
"It better be."
On the other side, He Bing drove steadily in front.
There was no sound at all from behind, so quiet that he thought he was the only one in the car.
He turned on the music.
With a "thud", the back of the seat was kicked.
He quickly turned off the music.
Finally, Lu Xiangning said calmly, with a slight smile, "Go home and discuss with your parents how to catch me, right?"
Li Zao rolled his eyes and gave it to him.
"I thought you would be wronged in the Li family, so I rushed to save you, but I didn't expect to know the truth."
"What truth?"
"You are shouting that you want a divorce, but in your heart you are planning to give me a child. Your 'play hard to get' trick is a bit ridiculous."
"..." Who is talking about this?
He Bing in the front was confused by what he heard. Mr. Lu's speaking rhythm was too eccentric, and the hint of arrogance in his tone was really annoying.
"Ahem," He Bing cleared his throat and decided to help Mr. Lu, "Madam, Mr. Lu has an important meeting today. He is currently in a meeting. I know you went to Li's house, and I will..."
"How did you know that I went to Li's house?" Li Zao suddenly became alert, "You sent someone to follow me?"
Lu Xiangning: "..."
He Bing: "..."
"Boom!"
The back of the seat was kicked again.
Help turned into trouble.
"Lu Xiangning, what do you want to do? You can't even move me away, send someone to follow me wherever I go, or get a divorce. It sounds like you love me very much, so you should break up with Zhao Zichu!!"
"What's the point? I..."
"You sent someone to follow me!" Li Zao interrupted again, with a loud voice.
She had gone to a specialized hospital in the suburbs before, could she have been followed too?!
However, she didn't dare to ask, fearing that she would get in trouble.
"Stop, stop!"
Li Zao was so excited that Lu Xiangning had to say: "He Bing, pull over."
