Jiang Yining’s expression changed slightly, but she didn’t answer his question. Instead, she asked, “Are you serious about kicking Lu Zhi out of Lu Corporation?”
Old Patriarch Lu thought that she was reluctant to part with the Lu family’s wealth. “He even abandoned his rationality for you. Such a person-in-charge will only harm Lu Corporation and even the entire Lu family. I won’t keep him!”
Jiang Yining shook her head slightly when she heard this.
She wouldn’t drag Lu Zhi into trouble. After all, she used him only to investigate Lin Yan’s whereabouts, not to destroy him.
If Lu Zhi’s position was at risk, she would withdraw herself without hesitation to protect him.
However, the attitude of the Lu family was truly disheartening.
Jiang Yining chuckled and said, “Lu Zhi has put in so much effort for the Lu family. But in the end, you negate all his efforts. We don’t have to stay in such a Lu family!”
She turned her head to look at Lu Zhi and blinked.
“Hubby, don’t worry. In riches or poverty, 1 stand by you. Even if you can’t earn money in the near term, I’ll support you. Will you leave with me or continue to stay in this family and suffer?”
She had the ability to support him even if he left the Lu family. She even had sufficient funds to help him make a comeback!
They didn’t need to stay here and endure the attitude of the Lu family!
Lu Zhi’s lips curled up slightly when he heard that.
She would support him?
This was the first time a woman dared to say that to him.
Although he didn’t need anyone to support him, it sounded pretty good.
“Of course, I’ll go with you.” Lu Zhi agreed decisively.
Jiang Yining smiled. “Shall we go now?”
“Did 1 say that you can leave?” Old Patriarch Lu asked.
“Do we still need your permission? You just said that you’ll kick Ah Zhi out of the Lu family.” Jiang Yining said fearlessly under his stern gaze.
Old Patriarch Lu was speechless. After a long pause, he said, “All Zhi, are you really going to leave the Lu family?”
“I’ve made my intentions clear.” Lu Zhi replied.
“Ah Zhi, are you crazy? You are going to leave the Lu family for this woman?”
Old Madam Lu finally couldn’t help but shout.
“Grandma, isn’t this what you want?” Lu Zhi asked mockingly.
Ever since Jiang Yining married him, his grandmother had been making things difficult for her and disrupting his peace.
He remained civil time and again for the sake of kinship, but his grandmother kept pushing her luck.
She was now using his great-grandfather’s power to threaten and bribe him into leaving Jiang Yining. If she succeeded, who knew what he would have to give up next?
He would not succumb to coercion!
He would protect the things he cared about at all costs.
Otherwise, how could he be a man of indomitable spirit?
Lu Zhi pulled Jiang Yining to go.
Old Madam Lu quickly blocked their way. “You’re not allowed to leave! I’ve worked so hard to raise you. Am I not even as important as her in your eyes? You are actually going to abandon Lu Corporation and all the members of the Lu family for her? Do you have a conscience?”
“Grandma, please move aside.” Lu Zhi spat coldly.
“I won’t!”
She would never let him leave. Only Jiang Yining could leave!
No one could chase her grandson away!
Old Madam Lu continued to stand in their way.
Old Patriarch Lu stood up and tapped his walking stick against the floor. “All Zhi, come with me to the study.”
Lu Zhi stood still.
“What’s wrong? Have you also lost your identity as a descendant of the Lu family just because you are no longer the CEO of Lu Corporation? I, your great-grandfather, can’t even get you to move?” Old Master Lu asked sternly.
Lu Zhi finally started walking.
The two of them walked upstairs to the study one after another.
Only Jiang Yining and Old Madam Lu were left in the living room.
Old Madam Lu’s eyes were red as she cursed resentfully, “It’s all your fault, you witch! All Zhi was not like this before. He used to be so obedient… It’s all your fault. You’ve turned him into a rebel!”
“My fault? Why don’t you reflect on what you’ve done wrong?”
Jiang Yining ignored her, walked to the sofa and sat down.
She then picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
“You are still in the mood to drink tea?” Old Madam Lu said angrily.
“Why not?” Jiang Yining thought for a few seconds and continued, “Ah Zhi and I were prepared to leave the Lu family, but you insisted on stopping us. As long as I haven’t been evicted with a legitimate reason, I am still the lady of the house and have the right to control everything here.”
“You little slut!” Old Madam Lu said without thinking.
Jiang Yining slammed the teacup on the table and looked at her coldly. “Can you repeat what you just said?”
“I can say it as many times as I want. What can you do?” Old Madam Lu argued.
Jiang Yining replied coldly, “1 can’t control your mouth, but 1 can control your grandson. If you say such dirty words again, believe it or not, 1’11 immediately abduct your grandson so you’ll never see him again.”
“You…”
Old Madam Lu was extremely angry, but she ran out of arguments, so she endured it.
The living room fell into a dead silence.
Meanwhile in the study, Lu Zhi closed the door after he walked in.
Old Patriarch Lu walked to the French windows and said, “All Zhi, 1 don’t want to interfere with who you marry but as the heir of the Lu family, you are too reckless.”
“I am indeed not a qualified successor. So, Great-grandpa, please pick someone else.”
Lu Zhi’s voice was cold, without any reluctance.
“Are you going to anger me to death before you stop?”
“I don’t understand what Great-grandpa means.” Lu Zhi met his great-grandfather’s eyes calmly.
Old Patriarch Lu was at wits end. He sucked in a breath and said, “You are the only standout among the younger generation of the Lu family. Why else would I have chosen you as the successor of the Lu family?”
“I said those words just now to test Jiang Yining, not to chase you out of the Lu family.” Old Patriarch Lu didn’t expect Jiang Yining to be such a tough nut to crack. She actually wanted to run away with Lu Zhi?
Old Patriarch Lu could not help but sigh when he thought about these two’s response.
No wonder his daughter-in-law couldn’t handle that young girl. She really did not play by the rules.
Lu Zhi remained silent.
Old Patriarch Lu continued, “But the rift you’ve created with the Tao family isn’t just going to disappear. As the heir of the Lu family, you must bring it to close. Otherwise, even if I want to keep you in the Lu family, the others won’t agree.”
Lu Zhi said calmly, “If they don’t agree, I’ll just leave Lu Corporation.”
“If you ever do that, I’ll die in front of you!” Old Master Lu said gravely.
Lu Zhi furrowed his brows and said after a while, “Great-grandpa, If 1 manage to shut the mouths of the Lu family, I hope you can promise me something.” “What is it?”
“I would like you to order my grandmother to stop making things difficult for Yining.” Lu Zhi replied softly.
“You’re still protecting that girl at a time like this? 1 think you’ve really fallen under her spell.” Old Patriarch Lu revealed an expression of helplessness.
Lu Zhi’s lips curled up into a faint smile as he secretly agreed with his great-grandfather..
