Zhao Kui: “What do you mean? You don’t have the right to speak here!”

Lu Wan walked over, picked up a goblet glass near her, and smashed it on the ground without warning.

The elders who were about to step forward to persuade them all shut up…… and took a step back.

Maintaining a safe distance from Lu Wan.

They were here to be lobbyists, and they were used to putting forward opinions on shortcomings and mistakes from above, but they were not prepared to throw themselves in harm’s way.

Lu Wan: “If I don’t have the right to speak here, why did you block me at the school gate? Eighty years old is a big birthday, so I wish you peace all year round!”

Zhao Yueming walked over with his cane. “Today is my birthday. Is this how you treat your elders as a junior? Is this how you’re taught?”

“I’ve only been back to the Lu family for half a year. Although my parents are willing to teach me, the time is too short and the result isn’t up to much. If they taught me from a young age, it might be different.”

After a pause, Lu Wan added, “My adoptive parents didn’t teach me anything. Every day the food is not enough, so where can I find the mood to think about other things? You can dispense with your moral blackmailing. Fifteen years ago, how I got lost, everyone knows it in your hearts.”

Zhao Yueming was stunned. “Are you rehashing old accounts?”

“It was due to your instructions, Grandpa, that the two uncles tried to hide me and used it to threaten my mother into agreeing to your terms. However, they failed to take good care of me and that’s why I got lost. My adoptive father and I did beat each other up a lot, but that’s definitely not the upbringing you want.”

Zhao Yueming was alarmed. “I don’t want to hear it, so stop talking.”

Family troubles were not a thing to be talked about in public, what exactly was she doing?

Lu Wan didn’t intend to let it go. She took a step forward. “Besides forcing my mother, you didn’t even ‘apologies’ to me. It doesn’t really matter much, but shouldn’t you at least have some decency?”

Zhao Yueming was forced by others to take a step backwards. His voice trembled, “Lawless!”

“Lawless? Can’t stand it if it doesn’t sound good to your ears? Then have you ever thought about the life I used to lead?”

Lu Wan walked past and grabbed the tablecloth with great force. The small tower made of red wine glasses instantly fell down.

There was a loud crash and the hearts of the guests present tensed.

“No, you are all safe and sound every year.” Lu Wan turned her head and looked around. She added in a flat voice, “So, if you have something, just come to me. No need to go to my parents, because as long as I’m unwilling to forgive you and do not give my approval, they won’t change their minds, and they will be in line with me, this daughter.”

Zhao Kui: “I see you must have gone mad?!”

“Apart from criticisms, do you have anything else to say?” Lu Wan chuckled and said with a smile, “After doing so many things, you still pretend that nothing happened? Then everyone should be kidnapped by morality. What’s the use of law?!”

She was starving and triggered.

Lu Wan wiped the splashes of wine on the back of her hand using the tablecloth and said with a grin, “The day I got lost here, my parents had a much harder time than you do now.”

Zhao Kui: “You’re blaming us for that?”

Lu Wan didn’t answer the other party. The shards of glass and red wine on the ground reflected the light, showing a kind of decadent magnificence.

“My experiences must be a good thing. Uncle^[1]Father’s elder brother said that I resemble him, and I think it’s great. This is the last time. If you bother me again, don’t blame me for being rude. I promise that it will only be a hundred times more embarrassing than today. After all, it’s because of you that I got lost and I’m still angry now.”

Zhao Kui: “Just you?”

“That’s right, just me. Because I’m very likely to be the successor of the Lu family! If you come looking for trouble again, don’t blame me for not remembering the old feelings that did not exist in the first place, and for being cruel and cold-blooded.”

There were some things that Zhao Jianing couldn’t say or do since she was raised by the Zhao family.

But Lu Wan can do it. She’s only a high school student and had been lost for many years because of the Zhao family’s fault.

She could choose not to forgive.

The guests present looked at each other. The atmosphere was in a stalemate and no one dared to speak.

Nobody expected that such an incident would suddenly happen. This young lady of the Lu family was really bold.

Lu Wan turned and looked at Zhao Jianing. “Mom, you heard me, right? I will never forgive them. You’re my mother so you must take my side. You absolutely cannot be softhearted.”

Zhao Jianing walked over and hugged her daughter’s shoulders. “I understand.”

She knew that Lu Wan said all this for her own sake.

A strong career woman would always be subjected to criticisms by others.

If one was capable on this level, it must be that one’s home was unhappy, one was too dominant, or had bad relationship with one’s family.

By finding out where the other party wasn’t as good as they were or had flaws, seemed to be the only way they could achieve psychological balance.

If this incident becomes a big issue, most people would support Zhao Jianing, but there would definitely be many other voices against her.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the Zhao family’s husband and wife did not mistreat or abused them. It wasn’t easy to raise their daughter to such an age. Even if they accidentally lost their granddaughter, it was not intentional. They have already apologized.

These were no parents of the world, but passersby who forgive injustices on behalf of others.

But precisely because they were relatives, sometimes they could hurt more deeply and they could still stand on the moral high ground.

It’s just that these people could morally kidnap Zhao Jianing, but they couldn’t do so with Lu Wan.

Zhao Jincheng’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He said in a strange voice, “Good, I see now. So it turns out that Lu Jinye pressuring us is your idea. Lu Wan, you’re way out of line. At any rate, you also have the blood of the Zhao family running in your veins.”

Lu Wan: “Yes, it’s because of this half of blood that I have a wealth of experience in the first seventeen years of my life. What you did to me, don’t you have anything to say about that?”

Zhao Jincheng: “……”

Lu Wan: “Then let me ask you, my uncle pressing you as you said…… Don’t you know the reason he’s doing it? If you didn’t covet my mother’s things, or the Lu family’s property, he simply wouldn’t do so at all. Can you put your hands over you hearts and say you never had this idea?”

Zhao Jincheng turned his head away. “You…… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

He had a guilty conscience.

Lu Wan: “Today, the old man went in person to invite us and forced our car to stop in the middle of the road. If you all say you didn’t know about this, I’m afraid no one will believe it.”

The present guests: “……”

It was indeed unbelievable. This was clearly planned.

But it was still quite unexpected. They thought it was just the Zhao family trying to please the Third Lady, but didn’t expect that there were so many things going on inside.

This granddaughter from the Lu family…… had no need to lie.

Moreover, they could see the complexion of the people of the Zhao family changed and surprisingly couldn’t say a word to refute.

If this was true, then this action was too absurd. No wonder the Zhao family had been going downhill over the years.

After all, the only normal Third Lady in the whole family was forced away by them many years ago.

Zhao Yueming was hysterical. He raised his voice, “Scoundrel! No one has ever disobeyed me like this.”

Lu Wan: “Then you have lived to be 80 years old but don’t have much insight. It will gradually increase in the future.”

Zhao Yueming raised his cane wanting to hit her.

Zhao Jianing hurriedly stepped forward to protect her daughter.

Lu Bainian shielded both mother and daughter behind him and said angrily, “When Jianing and I got married, you yourself said you wanted to cut off relationship. When she was having the hardest time starting her own business, you also obstructed her many times. It wasn’t easy for her to make good achievements, but you want the results of her hard work to be given to your sons. A man like you isn’t worthy of being a father! I will never treat my daughter like this!”

“If you hit me, I’ll……” Lu Bainian said with a slight pause.

Everyone held their breath. You’ll what? Fight back? So exciting!

Lu Bainian: “I’ll call the police for injury!”

All the guests: “……”

Oh, this.

This man’s combat power was about one-tenth of his daughter’s.

Zhao Yueming was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, and his face became flushed.

Zhao Kui: “Not good, Dad has high blood pressure.”

When Lu Wan heard this, she quickly pushed aside her parents who were standing in front of her.

She rather not have things turn too serious. “What are you waiting for? Give him medicine if he needs it or send him to the hospital. Look at you group of incompetent people who made Grandfather so angry. No offense, but it’s really time for you guys to reflect on yourself.”

Zhao Jinming said furiously, “Lu Wan, how dare you shift the blame to us?! This is obviously because of you!”

Lu Wan: “What are you talking about? Does high blood pressure develop in a day? He must constantly be angry at you guys! Putting it this way, we have to leave quickly. I can’t afford to take this responsibility.”

Lu Wan held Zhao Jianing with her left hand and Professor Lu with her right hand.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go home.”

After a pause, Lu Wan said to the others, “You should all go back to your houses. The excitement is over.”

The guests looked at Lu Wan’s expression and felt complicated.

This was the first time they had seen this type.

After violently tearing up faces in front of them, she remained completely calm, as if nothing had happened.

Several of them knew Lu Jinye, and they have to say…… This Young Miss Lu’s behavior was really similar to her uncle.

The same cunning and brazenness.

If nothing else, they’re afraid that her future would be very big……

The Zhao family surrounded the old man and everyone else looked at Lu Wan.

Lu Wan dwelled on it for a while, then added, “Do you have a lot of opinions about me? It doesn’t matter. Whoever hates me, try to avoid me in the future, and just don’t cooperate with the Lu family’s Group.”

The guests: “……”

Lu Wan: “I mean, if you have the ability and qualification to cooperate with the Lu family.”

The guests: “……”

They do not.

This girl was so annoying!

Zhao Jianing walked to the front door and gave a last look.

When she turned around again, there was no longer any slightest trace of lingering look in her eyes.

If they could sincerely apologize and repair their relationship, it was inevitable that her heart would soften in the long run.

But how was it possible when they were still as selfish, backwards, and chauvinistic as ever?

Zhao Jianing told her assistant to drive the car back, and she got into Lu Bainian’s Mercedes.

The couple sat in the front row and Lu Wan was on the back seat.

“It’s nine o’clock. I’m starving.” Lu Wan leaned back and couldn’t help grumbling.

The originally dull atmosphere suddenly lightened.

Lu Bainian smiled and said, “Why didn’t you eat just now?”

Lu Wan: “Ah, I can’t eat when I see too many people I don’t like.”

Zhao Jianing shook her head. “Childish. Let’s find a place to eat nearby first, otherwise we will have to wait for an hour.”

Lu Wan was in agreement. “I agree, but…… Auntie said she’ll make me braised meat today.”

Lu Bainian: “We can eat that for dinner. Dad will accompany you to drink.”

Generally, it was Lu Wan who drank cold beer while Lu Bainian drank iced cola.

Lu Buyu needed to lose weight, so he usually leaves while swearing after a cursory look.

Lu Wan: “It’s already nine o’clock. Doesn’t it count as late night snack?”

Zhao Jianing: “Then let’s eat that tomorrow.”

Lu Wan: “Okay.”

There were still many restaurants open at this time. Lu Wan found a restaurant with good reviews online.

After the peak period, there was no need to wait for a seat.

Zhao Jianing was very particular about their quality of life. Professor Lu had been carefully supported by her for many years, so it was hard to avoid being a little picky.

However, accompanying their daughter to eat, the two of them naturally wouldn’t say anything.

This was a restaurant carefully selected by Lu Wan. The environment looks ordinary, but it was clean and tidy. It serves Sichuan cuisine. Lu Wan ordered four dishes and one soup.

After the dishes were served, the couple found that the taste was very good.

Half an hour later.

Lu Wan raised her head. “Are you all finished?”

“En.”

“Yes.”

Zhao Jianing seldom eats at night and Lu Bainian doesn’t eat much either.

Lu Wan got an affirmative answer, so she carried out on demolishing the remaining food.

She doesn’t like to be wasteful and would definitely eat all of the food she orders, nor would she order a lot if she couldn’t finish it.

Haley also said that Lu Wan had an attitude of a veteran cadre^[2]old-school and rigorous.

However, there was nothing to be criticized for saving money.

Lu Wan: “I don’t eat a lot. I’m growing……”

Lu Bainian: “Our Wanwan is very refined.”

Zhao Jianing: “It’s not a lot. You just have a good appetite.”

Lu Wan: “……”

You say that when you obviously don’t think so!

All right, she’d better eat on her own from now on.

———

Lu Buyu was so bored waiting.

Its ten o’clock but they still haven’t come back yet?

Had he become a left-behind child again?

He had finished exercising, taking a shower, and reading the script for two hours.

Now he was feeling board on the sofa again…… flipping over from side to side.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lu Buyu sat up with a jolt.

“Lu Wan, didn’t you say you’d be back soon? The three of you ate out? You lied to me!!!”

“Yeah, we stopped by to eat delicious Sichuan food after we’re done.” Lu Wan answered. She walked over and touched the birds nest above his head, then walked upstairs.

Every time Lu Buyu’s hair was washed, it will explode if it wasn’t styled.

He had a bit of a natural curl. He’s the only one in the family who’s like this.

“Son, why aren’t you asleep?” Zhao Jianing, the second one to walk in, very smoothly touched the birds nest on the head of the man sitting on the sofa.

“What a silly boy.” Lu Bainian, who was walking behind, also followed the example of the mother and daughter, and touched the birds nest hair before going upstairs.

Lu Buyu turned his head to look at the three people who went upstairs.

What does this mean ah? Does he have a hand towel for a hair?

Lu Buyu shook his hair. Don’t they have anything else to say to him?

He was still depressed when his cell phone suddenly rang.

It was from Lu Jinye.

Lu Buyu pressed the answer button to see if someone still cared about him.

“Buyu, have Lu Wan and your parents come back?”

Lu Buyu: “……They just came.”

“Oh, give your father the phone. I can’t get through him just now.”

Lu Buyu: “……”

This was a home without love. What else could he expect?
