Chapter 15

As soon as these words came out.

Those who had wanted to intercede or thought Zhu Suisui was going too far all fell silent.

The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Zhu Suisui’s life was pitiful, this was a public secret in the Lu family. The Lu family owed her family a debt, to put it bluntly, if it weren’t for Zhu Suisui’s grandfather, they wouldn’t have the glory they have now.

One cannot be ungrateful.

This has always been the Lu family’s motto, which is why, even after the turbulent ten years, even though the old Mrs. Lu had a bad background, the Lu family’s status remained unshaken, because the Lu family was united and understood human relationships and how to be a good person.

Saving someone’s life was a huge favor.

As long as the Zhu family didn’t ask the Lu family to do anything illegal, any request they made was reasonable.

Although many people in the Lu family did think that Zhu Suisui was not worthy of Lu Lanxu, if they had chosen someone else, they wouldn’t have felt this way, it was all something the Zhu family deserved.

But Lu Lanxu was different.

He was intelligent and outstanding from a young age, showing amazing talent, he was being groomed to be the head of the Lu family, and until now, he had not disappointed anyone. The Lu family was developing better and better, and Lu Lanxu was the best among them. Whether the Lu family could rise to another level in the future depended on how Lu Lanxu led the family.

Naturally, everyone had different expectations for such a person.

From their words and actions to their marriage and career.

It could be said that if it weren’t for Zhu Suisui’s life-saving grace, she wouldn’t have had any chance to be included in the list of wives chosen for Lu Lanxu by the Lu family.

But she had already married into the family, it was one thing to look down on Zhu Suisui in their hearts, but to say this directly, wasn’t that stupid?

Especially in front of Lu’s grandfather.

Think about Lu Xueke, she was spoiled on a daily basis, everyone loved her as the only child of the fourth branch, but it also depended on the situation. Saying this kind of thing, she didn’t use her brain at all, admitting that she was a member of the Lu family, everyone felt ashamed.

The scene remained silent.

No one dared to speak.

Until, Lu’s grandfather spoke, “Xueke, do you really think so?”

Someone dared to look at Lu’s grandfather, but they found that the old man had no expression on his face, he didn’t show any emotion.

Their hearts couldn’t help but tremble, this was the old man’s expression when he was extremely angry.

Lu Xueke still didn’t know what she had done wrong, she still felt wronged, her face had been slapped twice, and it was still swollen, it was painful and embarrassing, her heart was full of hatred for Zhu Suisui.

Wasn’t she just a country girl, without the Lu family, she was nothing.

Why was she challenging her, she even dared to hit her.

When people are emotional, they tend to make mistakes.

Lu Xueke was a very self-centered person, hearing Lu’s grandfather’s question, she still cried pitifully, “Grandpa, what I said is not false, does she deserve to hit me? She’s such a savage, she doesn’t deserve to be in our Lu family.”

“Shut up!” Lu Tai’an immediately rebuked Lu Xueke after his daughter finished speaking.

Lu Tai’an didn’t know what to say, how could his daughter still dare to say this now, everyone knew that the old man valued loyalty the most, especially in this case of saving someone’s life.

Now she still looked unrepentant, Lu Tai’an was naturally surprised and angry.

As a father, he had to set an example.

After Lu Tai’an finished speaking, he pulled Lu Xueke over and said angrily, “Hurry up and apologize to your sister-in-law, how did I teach you? Is this how you talk to your sister-in-law? Disrespectful to your elders, you’re simply unreasonable!”

Lu Xueke didn’t expect Lu Tai’an to make her apologize, she naturally didn’t want to, she yelled, “Father, I clearly didn’t do anything wrong, why are you helping Zhu Suisui, she hit me, look, she hit me, I’ve never been hit since I was a child, why can she?”

Speaking of this, Lu Xueke cried even harder.

She was really wronged.

She was clearly the one who was beaten, why did it seem like it was her fault?

Lu Tai’an was speechless at his daughter’s stupidity, he wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Lu’s grandfather.

Lu’s grandfather looked at Lu Xueke, “You dare to speak to Suisui like this, and you’re just relying on the fact that you’re a Lu, relying on the glory that you’ve been sheltered by. You take it for granted, I never thought that my granddaughter would be such a person. Back then, Zhu and I were both from peasant backgrounds, he was my orderly, but he was extremely intelligent, he carefully solved many enemy ambushes.”

“If he hadn’t sacrificed himself for me, his achievements might not have been lower than mine. Those who survived the battlefield and enjoyed the glory, did those who died not have any glory? He died for the country, he is a hero revered by our China!

If my old brother knew that his granddaughter was being bullied in my Lu family, that his lifelong glory was being called a blessing from his ancestors by my granddaughter, what face would I have to see him in the afterlife.”

Speaking with excitement, Lu’s grandfather’s chest rose and fell, he said loudly, “Zhu, my old brother, died for the country, but you insulted him by saying he was lucky to sacrifice himself for me, that’s unfaithful!”

“I’ve said it many times, Suisui has entered our Lu family, you should cherish and be kind to her, but you always pick on her, that’s unfilial!”

“Since childhood, the Lu family motto has taught you to be a kind and tolerant person, but you are petty, selfish, that’s unkind!”

“The Zhu family’s favor to our Lu family is a life-saving grace, a debt we can never repay, but you’ve never listened, that’s unjust!”

“Lu Xueke, you are unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, you don’t deserve to be a member of the Lu family. Since you never take my words to heart, you don’t have to come to me anymore, I’ll pretend I don’t have a granddaughter like you!”

As soon as these words came out.

“Father!”

“Grandpa!”

“Grandfather!”

…

The Lu family didn’t expect it to be this serious, they naturally didn’t care about anything else now, and everyone spoke up.

Lu Xueke was even more incredulous, she was so scared that tears hung on her eyelashes, her face was pale.

But Lu’s grandfather ignored her and looked at Zhu Suisui, his tone softened.

“Suisui, you’ve been wronged, it’s my fault, I didn’t teach my granddaughter well, Grandpa apologizes to you, but don’t mention divorce again, if anyone in the Lu family wants you and Lanxu to divorce, they’ll have to disown me, this old man.”

Zhu Suisui didn’t expect things to turn out this way either.

Lu Xueke’s words were indeed harsh, but she didn’t deserve to be kicked out of the Lu family. After she slapped her twice, she felt much better, especially since she was now using Lu’s grandfather’s power, Lu Xueke probably wouldn’t be convinced by her, not only that, the other members of the Lu family would be resentful of her because of Lu’s grandfather’s actions.

Zhu Suisui sighed.

Leave a way out for others, it’s good to be able to meet again.

She wanted to show that she wasn’t easy to mess with, she didn’t want to make enemies, the punishment was too severe, it was easy to backfire, and it would be troublesome later.
