Chapter 240 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
It's not about having a baby, so why did she beat her?
The old lady pointed her chin at the sofa behind her and said, "Sit down. You've been standing all the time and my neck is tired."
"Thank you, Mom." Yang Wenqi wondered what might have happened and sat down on the sofa.
The old lady was in no hurry to speak, and Yang Wenqi was in no hurry to ask. The two sat for a while, and the aunt in the family brought them tea and quickly left.
The old lady was able to keep her composure, and she didn't even drink her tea. She looked at Yang Wenqi and spoke first. "Did you ask Yiheng to steal Lu Xingchen's business?"
It turned out to be because of this. Yang Wenqi looked innocent and said, "Mom, I don't even take care of my own company's affairs, how can I take care of my family's affairs?"
The old lady snorted, looked at her and asked, "You really don't have it?"
Although she is old and her eyes are not as clear as when she was young, her eyes are still strong enough to see through people through her lenses. Yang Wenqi recalled it carefully.
"I haven't spoken much to Yiheng recently. When we met that day, he asked me if he could do business with someone his uncle knew if his business competitor was. I told him that as long as it was fair competition, his uncle wouldn't have any objections. That's what Brother Sheng taught me when I started my business."
After she finished speaking, she saw the old lady looking at her without replying, then she suddenly realized, "Could the acquaintance Yiheng was talking about be Xingchen?"
Pretending to be innocent and stupid, Yang Wenqi is indeed not simple. The old lady nodded slightly, but did not answer her whether it was true or not. She just said, "Andy came to me and started with Xu Fanghua's divorce from Lu Wenli. She told me about how she framed Lu Xingchen four years ago. Did you teach her that?"
Yang Wenqi wanted to deny it, but with Lu Andi's style of doing things, she couldn't guarantee that she wasn't stupid enough to tell the old lady everything.
"Mom, she did come to me first about Andy's matter, but since it concerns Xingchen, who else in our family would dare to tell Brother Sheng besides you, and what he said would be something Brother Sheng would listen to? But, I didn't expect that Mom loved Andy so much that she would take this matter upon herself."
Even if this woman could smooth things over, the old lady said calmly, "Wenqi, you wanted to tell me about Lu Wenli and Xu Fanghua's divorce through Andy. I understand. Even if I didn't want to, I would do it for you and A Sheng. Back then, wasn't it me who used that method to drive Xu Fanghua and Lu Xingchen out of the Lu family?"
It must be said that this old woman is old, but not confused. After hearing what she said, Yang Wenqi knew that she could not deny it, so she put herself in the position of the weak and lowered her eyes without saying a word.
The old lady added, "I can understand that you are on guard against Lu Xingchen and Xu Fanghua, but don't treat me or anyone in our Lu family as fools."
We are from the Lu family. These six words made Yang Wenqi's pupils shrink. It seemed that they had never considered her as one of their own.
The old lady then asked back, "Don't you think that I don't regard you as a member of the Lu family?"
"No, Mom." Yang Wenqi looked at her, "I know you and Brother Sheng treat me very well, that's enough."
"If it was enough, you wouldn't think of using the people from the first house to help you stop Lu Xingchen. If you do that, not only will you stop Lu Xingchen, but it will also cause a grudge between the first house and Ah Sheng. In this way, you and Xinyue will reap the benefits."
Yang Wenqi's heart was hit suddenly, and she quickly looked up at the old lady.
"Mom, I definitely didn't think so. I don't deny that I care about Xu Fanghua and Lu Xingchen, because Brother Sheng loved Xu Fanghua so much, and even if Xingchen has no blood relationship with him, he is the child he raised. Even if I have Xinyue, I know very well how Xinyue came about. So if Xu Fanghua gets divorced, I'm very worried that she will snatch Brother Sheng away, and then naturally bring Xingchen back. What will happen to Xinyue and me then?"
The old lady understood her concerns, but what she did for this purpose was more than just that, so the old lady had to issue a warning.
"From your perspective, both the first wife and Xingchen could threaten the interests of you and Xinyue. You risked letting Ah Sheng bring Lu Xingchen back to the Lu family, inciting the first wife to take action, and then an old lady like me would mediate, causing both the first wife and Lu Xingchen to suffer losses. Do you think I can't see that?"
Yang Wenqi took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I'm not as far-sighted as you are. I just want to protect my family, my husband and my children."
"Whether it is true or not, you know it in your heart, but I advise you to stop. Although I understand you, I will never allow outsiders to mess with our Lu family."
The old lady looked straight at her and said, "By the way, I'll tell you one more thing. Ah Sheng warned me that if the Lu family embarrasses Lu Xingchen for no reason again, he will split up the Lu family. By then, you and Xinyue will get what you deserve, and Lu Xingchen will get nothing either."
Yang Wenqi then looked at the old lady in astonishment. She really didn't expect Lu Dingsheng to do so much for Lu Xingchen, so it took her a while to breathe a sigh of relief, and she looked at the old lady aggrievedly.
"I don't have a brain as comprehensive as my mom's, nor do I have the qualifications. I really didn't think of this level."
The old lady disdained to listen to her explanation. She looked at her with piercing eyes and warned her, "I see you have always been very patient. Why are you a little impatient recently? Is it just because Xu Fanghua and Lu Wenli are getting divorced? But you have to be careful. Don't be as clever as Xu Fanghua, who ended up with nothing."
Without waiting for Yang Wenqi to explain, she raised her hand and said, "Mother Chen, let's go back to the old house."
Aunt Chen helped her up.
Yang Wenqi stood up and followed over and said, "Mom, why don't you have lunch first before going back?"
The old lady just glanced at her and continued to walk out without looking away, but she said one more sentence: "Don't waste your mind on useless things, concentrate on giving birth to a son, and then what belongs to you will be yours."
Yang Wenqi, who had just been shocked, was poured with a bucket of cold water by these words. She couldn't even take a step to see her out.
Instead, the old lady saw that she didn't follow closely, so she turned back to look at her. Seeing that she looked tense and pale, she said, "Go to the hospital for a check-up in time and get the next transplant as soon as possible. You are already 34 years old, and there is no time for you to waste."
So Lu Dingsheng's suggestion to slow down the old lady was not only useless, but made her even worse. Yang Wenqi felt exhausted and filled with resentment that she wanted to fight back.
Warn her not to end up like Xu Fanghua? Don't offend the Lu family?
The corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily and she sneered a few times. She was just a pawn in the eyes of the old lady, right?
Yes, she has always known that she is not only a pawn, but also a tool for bearing children. Now she is too old even to be such a tool.
