Chapter 16

Lu Xueke was a member of the Lu family after all, Lu’s grandfather was so kind to her, and she didn’t need to make the old man feel uncomfortable.

Zhu Suisui pondered for a moment and said, “Grandpa, I was indeed wronged in this matter, but it was just a little squabble between us juniors, it doesn’t matter, how can you blame yourself for not teaching her well? People’s actions are their own, how can you apologize, let’s just have Xueke apologize to me and it’s over.”

This was a way out.

Otherwise, if Zhu Suisui really let Lu’s grandfather decide, even if she was right, she would be wrong.

If it got out, people would think she was being unreasonable.

She wasn’t being a saint and speaking up for Lu Xueke, but Zhu Suisui thought about it again, if she got a divorce later and didn’t stay in the Lu family much, Lu Xueke was a member of the Lu family after all, she would definitely come back eventually.

In that case, her vengeful and opportunistic behavior would be a taboo.

Think about it.

If you encounter someone at work who wants to find a leader to deal with you for a minor conflict, would you want to be friends with such a person, or would you stay away from them?

Besides.

This way, it served as a warning, and it also gave a stick and a candy, perhaps Lu Xueke would even be grateful to her.

A ruthless approach would only deepen her hatred, after all, she had nothing left to lose.

Seeing Zhu Suisui say this.

Lu Tai’an was the first to react, he was also scared by the old man’s words, his scalp was tingling.

If these words got out, if everyone in the capital knew that he had raised a daughter who was unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, his future promotion would be ruined.

Moreover, the Lu family was always united, everyone in the capital could see that, if he was excluded, wouldn’t that be a laughingstock for everyone in the capital?

Thinking about this.

He immediately said, “Yes, father, Suisui is right, it was just a childish squabble, Xueke, hurry up and apologize to your sister-in-law.”

He pulled Lu Xueke.

Lu Xueke had been scared silly, she was quite talkative, and she wasn’t very smart, it was because she had always had a smooth life, so she was naturally arrogant, this was the most serious blow she had ever experienced.

How could she still care about hating Zhu Suisui?

If she was really kicked out of the Lu family.

How would she get along in the capital?

Lu Xueke was intimidated, she was really scared, and she obediently apologized to Zhu Suisui with her pig-headed face.

“Sister-in-law, I’m sorry.”

The others also started to smooth things over.

“Father, look, Xueke has apologized, let’s just forget about it, it’s the Winter Solstice today, it’s Family Reunion Day, we’re just waiting for dinner.”

“Children will always bicker, they don’t think it’s a big deal now, we adults shouldn’t get involved, don’t you think, father?”

Everyone said something.

Lu’s grandfather tapped his cane on the ground.

The sound stopped abruptly.

Lu’s grandfather then looked at Zhu Suisui, “Suisui, do you accept?”

“Since Xueke has apologized, as long as it’s sincere, I naturally accept.” Zhu Suisui said with a smile.

Lu’s grandfather nodded, then his sharp eagle eyes swept over everyone, he said in a deep voice, “Since Suisui has accepted, then let’s forget about it, but Xueke is an adult now, she has to be responsible for her words and actions, this will not happen again.”

Lu Xueke naturally nodded repeatedly.

Lu’s grandfather continued, “I’ll say it again, Suisui is now a member of the Lu family, she is one of us, as long as I’m alive, no one can bully her.”

Everyone naturally said that they would never do such a thing.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Suisui sighed, but she felt a little headache.

After this incident, she had figured out the old man’s intentions.

She wanted to divorce Lu Lanxu, but she couldn’t talk to Lu’s grandfather about it.

Otherwise, Lu’s grandfather would definitely think that the Lu family had done something to make her want a divorce.

He would not only disagree, but he would also call the entire Lu family to talk about it, he would not give up until he made Zhu Suisui not want a divorce anymore.

Although in her previous life, Zhu Suisui was not happy in the Lu family for all those years, but ultimately, what made her want a divorce was Lu Lanxu’s lack of love.

She couldn’t tell Lu’s grandfather about this.

If she did, he might even call Lu Lanxu over and give him a severe scolding.

Then he would persuade Lu Lanxu and make him absolutely not divorce her.

It seemed like she could only discuss it with Lu Lanxu first, and go ahead and get the divorce, then Lu’s grandfather would have no choice.

This farce was over.

Lu Xueke was taken away by her mother to apply a hot towel to her face.

After this incident, the others didn’t dare to have any other crooked thoughts, they were much more polite to Zhu Suisui than before.

Zhu Suisui felt that after this commotion, she would have some peace for a while.

At this moment, someone called out to her.

Zhu Suisui looked over.

It was a woman dressed very stylishly.

She was about 5’5″ tall, with a slightly plump figure, wearing a white sweater inside and a lake-blue coat outside, with thick-soled platform shoes, her short hair to her chin was permed into thick, textured large curls, her lipstick-painted lips looked even more glamorous.

Zhu Suisui recognized her, this was Lu Lanxu’s sister, Lu Qingying.

Lu Qingying ran over and affectionately took her hand, then gave her a thumbs-up and whispered, “Sister-in-law, you’re amazing! You actually dared to hit Lu Xueke, I’ve been annoyed with her for a long time, I don’t know what she’s so proud of, she’s using our Lu family name to be arrogant and domineering outside, she really thinks she’s so great.”

Actually, Lu Qingying wasn’t that close to Zhu Suisui, she even looked down on her a little, but it wasn’t because of Zhu Suisui’s background, but because she looked down on her for being meek and submissive.

Now that Zhu Suisui had lost her temper, Lu Qingying’s eyes were shining, she had a sense of “this child can be taught.”

It must be because she had been constantly giving her advice that her sister-in-law had finally stood up.

Zhu Suisui knew Lu Qingying’s thoughts, she hadn’t understood before, but now she had detached herself, from an outsider’s perspective, she knew that Lu Qingying’s hostility towards her stemmed from her frustration with her.

After all, at the beginning, when she first married into the family, Lu Qingying was quite enthusiastic towards her, it was after a long time, and she had endured the malice of others again and again, that Lu Qingying started to be rude to her.

People have to stand up for themselves.

Otherwise, everyone would bully her.

Zhu Suisui glanced at her and said, “It’s over now, don’t laugh at her, she’s a girl after all, she’s thin-skinned and she’s been punished, she’ll probably be more well-behaved for a while.”

Lu Qingying nodded subconsciously, then she felt something was wrong.

Why did her sister-in-law seem so mature and steady today?

It was like… her brother Lu Lanxu?!
