Chapter 149:I Dare You to Make a Move On Her

Chen Qinglian called the old Lu residence and told Old Madam Lu about Tao Niannian being kicked out of the Tao family.
She also persuaded the old madam. “Old Madam, Elder Tao has already made his stance clear. He has indirectly backed down and showed goodwill to the Lu family. Don’t you think we should also meet him halfway? People say that sometimes we need to take two steps back to take one step forward. We can’t keep fighting tooth and nail, which will only benefit the outsiders!”
Old Madam Lu also didn’t want to fall out with the Tao family.
She knew that Ah Zhi had defeated the Tao family in the war for Phantom and satisfied everyone in the Lu family.
His victory had also given a respite to the conflict between the Tao and Lu families.
However, disaster awaited them if the two families did not reconcile.
She might as well use the situation at hand to reconcile with the Tao family. This would benefit both families.
“I’ll send someone to pick her up.”
“Okay, I’ll tell Miss Tao.”
“Qinglian, you and your daughter always put the Lu family first. That idiot Jiang Yining only causes us problems.”
No comparison, no harm.
Old Madam Lu really felt that her grandson was blind to choose Jiang Yining.
“Old Madam, the Lu family is my benefactor. Kexin was also born and raised in the Lu family. In our hearts, the Lu residence is also our home. Of course, we must put the Lu family first. It’s the right thing to do. Don’t compare us to Young Madam. We’re not worthy.”
Chen Qinglian’s words were full of unworthiness.
“I won’t allow you to say that about yourself. If you’re not worthy, then no one is worthy!” Old Madam Lu continued, “Qinglian, don’t worry. I will make sure that Kexin marries All Zhi.”
“Old Madam, I’m grateful for your intent. I wouldn’t covet anything else.” Chen Qinglian said in a choked voice.
Old Madam Lu did not say anything more.
In any case, she had already made up her mind, and no one could change it.
After ending the call, Old Madam Lu sent someone to the hospital to bring Tao Niannian back to the old Lu residence as a house guest. She also got someone to ask her husband to come home.
Old Master Lu did not know what was going on.
When he got home, he saw Tao Niannian and heard his wife say some things.
He said angrily, “All Zhi has just finished fighting with the Tao family, and you brought the Tao granddaughter home and want us to take the initiative reconcile with the Tao family? What will he think?” Old Master Lu was more concerned about Lu Zhi’s feelings.
Old Madam Lu pulled a long face. “Do you think I’m doing this for myself? It’s for the good of the entire Lu family! How long have the Lu and Tao families been friends? How can we let the friendship end under our watch? Besides, if it weren’t for Jiang Yining, would we have fought with the Tao family and lost so much for nothing?”
“I’ve already looked past her mistakes. I’m just going to ask her to take a step back and take the initiative to reconcile with Niannian. Is it that difficult?”
“It’s something that even Qinglian and Kexin can understand. She’s the young madam of the Lu family, can’t she sacrifice a little for the Lu family?” Old Madam Lu was aggressive.
Old Master Lu frowned. “I don’t care. I’m not going to ask her. If you want things your way, you can call All Zhi and Yining yourself. However, don’t blame me for not reminding you that if you upset Ah Zhi again, he might go crazy and do something again.”
“You old fool!” Old Madam Lu cursed.
Old Master Lu put his hands behind his back, snorted, and walked away.
Old Madam Lu was left alone in an awkward situation with Tao Niannian.
Tao Niannian was quite far away from the two of them, so she didn’t hear their conversation. However, she knew that something was wrong when she saw Old Madam Lu’s expression. She stood up and asked, “Grandma Lu, is it not possible? 1 don’t want to make things difficult for you.”
“Why would it be difficult? Your Grandpa Lu has already agreed to invite them back for dinner.” Old Madam Lu walked up to Tao Niannian and continued with a kind smile, “Niannian, our family took in a thoughtless granddaughter-in-law who made you suffer. Don’t worry, I’ll make All Zhi and Jiang Yining send you home and stop your grandfather from being angry with you.”
“Thank you, Grandma Lu.”
“Good girl.”
Jiang Yining walked out of school after class.
Xiao Yeyu followed her closely and said, “Yining, it’s still early. Why don’t we go for a cup of coffee?”
Ye Xiaoxi had to leave first so she was looking forward to the opportunity to hang out with Jiang Yining alone.
“I’m going to the library to do some research,” Jiang Yining said. “You go ahead.”
“Then I’ll accompany you to the library.” Xiao Yeyu quickly changed her tune.
Jiang Yining didn’t want Xiao Yeyu to follow her because she had accepted two missions and was doing research to prepare herself.
However, Xiao Yeyu was like a shadow on a sunny day.
She followed her everywhere and she couldn’t get rid of her.
Jiang Yining had no choice but to let her be.
The two of them walked to the library.
Halfway there, a black Maserati stopped in front of them. Four or five bodyguards got out of the car and stood in their way.
“Young Madam, Old Madam has something to discuss with you. Please come with us.” One of the bodyguards said coldly.
Jiang Yining looked around her and smiled. “Are you inviting me or kidnapping me? If it’s the former, I’ll choose not to go. If it’s the latter…”
She paused for a moment, her face covered in a layer of frost.
Her past tolerance for the old madam had only encouraged her. Jiang Yining would tolerate her no more.
Therefore, if the old madam dared to take her home by force, she must be prepared to pay the price.
The bodyguards did not speak.
Jiang Yining continued, “It looks like you’re really going to kidnap me.”
“Please.” The bodyguards made way for her and gestured for her to get into the car.
Xiao Yeyu pulled Jiang Yining back and asked worriedly, “Yining, do you want me to go with you?”
“No need, I don’t think they’ll dare to do anything to me.”
Jiang Yining patted Xiao Yeyu’s shoulder and stepped into the car.
Xiao Yeyu looked at the luxurious Maserati limited edition SUV with deep envy and jealousy in her eyes.
The bodyguards drove to the old Lu residence.
Jiang Yining sat in the back of the SUV and sent a message to Lu Zhi, telling him that his grandmother had sent someone to bring her home to meet her.
A few minutes later, Lu Zhi replied, “Wait for me. I’ll be right there.”
His six simple words brought her much comfort.
Jiang Yining’s bad mood was half gone. She put her phone back in her pocket and closed her eyes to rest.
Soon after, the car arrived at the old Lu residence.
Jiang Yining was brought to Old Madam Lu, but before she could say anything, Old Madam Lu said in a commanding tone, “I’ve invited Tao Niannian to stay here with us after Elder Tao chased her out because of the conflict between our families. I want you to tell Niannian later that you don’t care about what happened in the past and also give Elder Tao a call and ask him to take Niannian home.”
Jiang Yining bit her tongue for a few seconds before she said flatly, “Why should I?”
“Because everything you eat, wear, use, and spend is provided for by the Lu family! Jiang Yining, since you’ve married into the Lu family, you must put the Lu family first. This is a chance for you to contribute to the Lu family! I hope you’ll do the right thing!” Old Madam Lu said firmly.
Jiang Yining smiled. “I pay Lu Zhi for my food and lodging. So technically, I’m not freeloading off the Lu family. You have no right to ask me to apologize to her.”
“1 will never reconcile with her unless she apologizes to me and my friend!” She replied calmly with her chin slightly raised and her eyes looking straight into Old Madam Lu’s.
For a moment, Old Madam Lu was shocked speechless.
After being stumped for a while, Old Madam Lu said sternly, “You really won’t do it?”
Jiang Yining was too lazy to respond in words and snorted instead.
“Alright, you have All Zhi to protect you. I can’t do anything to you. But your friend has no power and no one to protect her. If I can’t make a move on you, I can make a move on her! Jiang Yining, if you insist on destroying the Lu family, I’ll destroy your friend first!”
Old Madam Lu had just finished speaking when Jiang Yining took a step forward and grabbed her collar. “1 dare you to make a move on her..”
