She maintained a playful demeanor that left people guessing her true thoughts. Ye Xiaoxi could only go along with her.
As the two women gossiping had enough laughter, they whispered again, “By the way, she’s eating here today, all alone. Let’s go pay her a visit and greet the poor lonely woman.”
“Sure.”
They quickly agreed and planned to mock Old Madam Lu.
Jiang Yining curled her lips, and she followed them.

Old Madam Lu sat at a table filled with extravagant dishes but couldn’t find an appetite. Eating alone, she felt uninterested and barely touched her food.
She even couldn’t be bothered to pick up her chopsticks.
Observing her displeased mood, a waiter approached her, introducing the new healthy and nourishing dishes on the menu, hoping to lift her spirits.
Old Madam Lu picked up her chopsticks and tasted a bite, but she didn’t get to swallow it.
She heard a sharp voice nearby, “Well, isn’t this our esteemed Old Madam Lu? Why are you eating alone? Is there no one at home to accompany you?”
“Yeah, I remember that Old Madam used to have a pretty young girl named Kexin with her.”
Old Madam Lu instantly lost her appetite as she coldly looked at the two insignificant socialites. She said, “Who do you think you are? Are you even worthy of speaking to me?”
One of them was Mrs. Wei from the Wei family, and the other was Mrs. Liu from the Liu family. Their family backgrounds were less than a tenth of the Lu family’s.
In the past, they had tried to ingratiate themselves with the Lu family and engage in business partnerships, essentially groveling before Old Madam Lu. But she had looked down on them and even ridiculed them a few times. This had made them give up.
They couldn’t think of using low-quality stuff like them to harm the Lu Corporation.
Hence, they harbored a grudge.
They wished for nothing more than to see Old Madam Lu suffer!
Hearing Old Madam Lu’s condescending words, the two women’s faces darkened. Mrs. Wei held back her anger and said in a sarcastic tone, “Indeed, we are unworthy. But what about you? Do you still think you’re the high and mighty Old Madam Lu? We’ve heard about all the things you’ve done. Now that you’ve been cast out by the Lu family, do you think you can still command respect like in the past, reigning over the Lu family? Don’t daydream!”
If she had been cast out, who would still be afraid of her?
Spit!
“That’s right. This old hag doesn’t know her place. She used to sabotage our cooperation with the Lu Corporation, and now she’s ruining her grandson’s marriage. People like you should be struck by lightning early on and never find peace!” Mrs. Liu spewed venom.
“Shut your mouths!” Old Madam Lu admitted her wrongdoings, and if she was wrong, she would bear the consequences. Why should they mock her?
“We won’t. This isn’t your family’s restaurant. Why do you have the right to tell us to shut up? If you dare, call your bodyguards and have us thrown out. But if you do that, the headlines tomorrow will read, ‘Old Madam Lu of the Lu family, who was driven out, remains arrogant and unrepentant, causing a scene in a restaurant to vent her anger on others!’ When your husband sees the news, I wonder what he’ll think?” Mrs. Wei taunted.
“Come on, you’re not angry? Go ahead, hit us, hit my face,” Mrs. Liu intentionally moved closer, grabbed Old Madam Lu’s hand, and tried to make her hit her own face.
Old Madam Lu was infuriated and couldn’t hold back.
With a loud smack, she delivered a resounding slap!
Mrs. Liu immediately cried out, “Help! Old Madam Lu is hitting people!”
Seizing the opportunity, Mrs. Wei took out her phone and aimed it at Old Madam Lu to record.
“Everyone, look, this is what a powerful and wealthy old lady does. She goes outside and assaults people, relying on the money her family has,” they sang in unison. Old Madam Lu had no way to defend herself.
Her blood pressure shot up, and her head started to ring.
Thud.
She fell back into her chair.
The waitress, sensing the grim situation, attempted to check on her condition.
However, Mrs. Wei forcibly pushed her away and warned, “Get lost. If you dare to help her, I’ll kick you out of the restaurant.”
The waitress, frightened, quickly retreated to the side.
Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Liu held Old Madam Lu, one on each side, continuing to film her.
Old Madam Lu was on the brink of passing out.
Just as she was about to lose consciousness, Jiang Yining, who had been watching the drama from the sidelines, calmly stepped forward.
She snatched Mrs. Wei’s phone.
Mrs.. Wei turned around and shouted, “You thief! Snatching a phone in broad daylight! Do you even know who I am?”
