Chapter 75: It Must Be His Problem

Su Yiren remembered that when Manager Zhang was making a fuss, Old Master Lu blurted out that he wanted Lu Yunting to be punished by the family law.

She had lived in the Lu family for five years and had never seen Old Master Lu lose his temper so badly, nor did she know that the Lu family had family law.

Jiang Jinyun paused and said:

“Fifty lashes.”

Su Yiren was shocked. So cruel?

Jiang Jinyun explained:

“These are the rules left by your grandfather’s father. It’s just that in Yunting’s generation, there are fewer children, and they have been pampered since childhood. Even if they smash the old antiques in the house, no one says a word, let alone asking for the family law.”

Su Yiren thought about it and realized that Lu Yunting’s generation only had two boys and three girls. For such a large family, the population was indeed thin.

Jiang Jinyun continued as she walked:

“Yiren, I’m quite happy today. You and Yunting both wanted to take responsibility for each other to protect each other. This makes me very moved.” She looked at Su Yiren, her eyes full of love.

“Yunting has always been very obedient since he was a child and has never made your grandfather angry. Now, in order to help you hide your identity, he is willing to be punished and take all the responsibility. I think he doesn’t lack feelings for you.”

She didn’t say much just now, but she saw everything.

If she had doubted that Lu Yunting didn’t like Su Yiren before, the moment he stood in front of Su Yiren to take responsibility, she realized that she might have been wrong.

What surprised her even more was that Su Yiren also wanted to protect Lu Yunting. This made her very happy.

They were in love with each other.

Su Yiren felt like something was stuck in her throat, making her feel uncomfortable, but she couldn’t say anything.

Lu Yunting just didn’t want to owe her anything. After all, this incident was caused by him. He wanted to take responsibility, and he was afraid that she would be implicated.

But this had nothing to do with love. She knew it very well, so she wouldn’t be delusional anymore.

Seeing her silent, Jiang Jinyun said again:

“Your second uncle’s family has been eyeing that position for a long time. You should know that, right?”

Su Yiren nodded. There were only two boys in the Lu family: Lu Yunting and her second uncle’s son, Lu Yunhan.

Lu Yunhan was handsome and intelligent, but he was a playboy with a lot of romantic debts. He was always idle and carefree. Old Master Lu had carefully considered it and didn’t let him take over the position of CEO. He only gave him a casual position in the company.

Therefore, her second aunt always tried to sabotage them, either overtly or covertly. Or, like at today’s birthday banquet, she secretly mocked her, implying that she couldn’t have children.

Su Yiren knew this, but she didn’t think it was necessary to fight back before. Now, she felt even less of a need to.

“Yunting seems to have secured that position, calling the shots every day. But his situation is very awkward.” Jiang Jinyun felt it was time to tell Su Yiren a few things. She stopped and continued in a low voice,

“Most of the company’s shares are still in your grandfather’s hands. Yunting’s share is insignificant. If your grandfather gives this part of the shares to your second uncle’s family, what do you think Yunting’s situation will be?”

“I understand.” Su Yiren nodded lightly,

“But he is capable, and your grandfather is very fond of him. He will eventually transfer the shares to him, right?”

Jiang Jinyun smiled helplessly, “All these years, if he wanted to transfer them to him, he would have done so long ago.”

“Now that Lu Yunhan has a child, if it’s a boy, then it’s your grandfather’s great-grandson. Do you think he will still be as fond of Yunting as he is now?”

Su Yiren didn’t say anything, vaguely understanding what Jiang Jinyun meant.

But she didn’t want to do this, and she couldn’t. So she didn’t say anything.

Jiang Jinyun waited for a while, but she didn’t get a response. She frowned slightly.

“Yiren, I don’t know what’s going on between you two. I shouldn’t be saying this, but I’ve been so anxious all these years that I have to ask you.” She looked at Su Yiren and asked directly,

“Is it you who doesn’t want children, or is it him?”

Su Yiren unconsciously curled her fingers, digging her nails into her palm, a sharp pain.

She didn’t look at Jiang Jinyun，but she knew that the other person’s gaze was on her, making her uncomfortable all over.

How should she answer? Should she tell the truth?

Tell her that Lu Yunting had never touched her in the past five years, so where would the child come from?

It wasn’t even a matter of wanting or not wanting children. He didn’t even want her, let alone a child?

Su Yiren was very conflicted. She wanted to tell Jiang Jinyun all this, but they were going to go through the procedures tomorrow. What was the point of telling her the truth?

Should she just lie to her? But thinking about Jiang Jinyun’s kindness to her over the years, she couldn’t bear to deceive her.

Su Yiren could only remain silent, pursing her lips.

After a while, Jiang Jinyun didn’t get an answer. She suddenly understood something and nodded.

“You don’t need to say anything. I know.”

Su Yiren looked up and saw Jiang Jinyun sigh, reaching out to pat her shoulder again.

“It must be his problem.”

“Let’s go, let’s go back.” Jiang Jinyun pretended to be relaxed and pulled her back,

“Since it’s not you who doesn’t want to give him children, then this matter is much easier.”

Su Yiren was a little confused by her words. Lu Yunting didn’t want children, and she wanted to give him children, it was not the same thing at all!

But she didn’t say it out loud. She just let her be.

After tomorrow, when everything was settled, she would leave this mess to Lu Yunting to deal with.

The two of them quietly returned to the living room and found that everyone was chatting happily.

Su Yiren took the new tea served by the servant and just took a sip when she heard Lu Jinhai call her:

“Yiren, we were just talking about you! I heard that you’re going to start a new clothing brand, tell us all about it.”

Su Yiren quickly put down her teacup and respectfully said:

“I just want to try a different style, something for the younger generation.”

“That probably won’t make much money, right?” Sun Xiaoxia interjected,

“It’s not as profitable as designing a dress, right?”

Su Yiren smiled and nodded,

“That’s undeniable. But nowadays, clothes for teenagers are generally very ordinary. They are either too childish or too mature, not suitable for the aesthetics and characteristics of teenagers. I want to do something for children of this age group, even if it means making less money.”

Everyone present exclaimed, thinking that Su Yiren’s idea was great!

Lu Jinhai also nodded repeatedly, “Well said! Doing business is not just about making money, it’s also about creating value! I’m very happy that you can think this way. If you have any difficulties in the future, be sure to tell me!”

Su Yiren smiled with her eyes curved, “Thank you, Grandpa.”

Ouyang Sa Sa watched the interaction between the grandfather and granddaughter, feeling both resentful and envious. She secretly tugged at Bai Xiuping’s sleeve and gave her a look.

Bai Xiuping understood and nodded. After hesitating for a moment, she sighed,

“Mrs. Lu is so kind! But such an outstanding person is going to part ways with the Lu family. It’s really a pity…”
