Chapter 16
“I think you’ve really been bewitched by a ghost and lost your mind!”
Old Madam Lu did not have any requirements for her future granddaughter-in-law’s background, but she could not accept a gold-digger.
In her heart, she had always treated Chen Kexin as her future daughter-in-law.
This girl who had suddenly appeared naturally was not accepted by her.
“You, leave the Lu family immediately!” Old Madam Lu ordered Jiang Yining in an unfriendly tone.
“Ah Zhi…” Jiang Yining squeezed out two drops of tears and sobbed. “I told you that your family wouldn’t accept me marrying you. You said you could settle it, but now…”
Lu Zhiming knew that she was acting, but he did not stop her. “Grandma, Jiang Yining is my wife. No one can drive her away.”
“What if I have to chase her away?”
“Then I’ll leave with her.”
Old Madam Lu was so angry that she almost fainted.
Demoness!
What a demoness!
She had actually bewitched her precious grandson into this state!
“Stop crying! Didn’t you get close to Ah Zhi for money? How much money do you need to leave Ah Zhi?” Old Madam Lu couldn’t bear to part with her grandson, so she could only find a breakthrough from Jiang Yining.
“Grandma, I really love Ah Zhi. Don’t misunderstand me.” Jiang Yining’s lips trembled, and her body swayed.
“Stop pretending! You don’t love Brother Ah Zhi at all. Do you really love him and are willing to die for him?”
“Are you willing?” Jiang Yining asked.
“Of course I’m willing!”
“Then, you can go and die first.”
“You…”
Chen Kexin was furious.
Jiang Yining turned to look at Lu Zhi and said pitifully, “Ah Zhi, if I had known that your family would dislike me so much, I would have just found an ordinary person to marry. I wouldn’t have to endure such a vexation.”
She secretly reminded him not to let herself be bullied by the Lu family.
Lu Zhi was so smart, how could he not understand?
“Grandma, Yining is the person I’ve set my eyes on. If you humiliate her again, I’ll take her away immediately.” Lu Zhi looked at Jiang Yining and said coldly, “Yining, call her Grandma.”
“Grandma, your granddaughter-in-law is here to serve you tea.”
Jiang Yining immediately wiped away the tears on her face, and her mouth seemed to be smeared with honey as she called out in an exceptionally affectionate manner.
She poured a cup of tea and handed it to Old Madam Lu.
Old Madam Lu’s face darkened as she refused. “Other than the tea that Kexin offered, I won’t accept anything else!”
“Then you might not be able to receive it for the rest of your life.” Jiang Yining muttered softly.
Old Madam Lu had sharp ears. “What did you say?”
“I didn’t say anything, Grandma.”
“Don’t call me grandma! You said something just now, I’m sure you did. I heard it!” Old Madam Lu said angrily.
“I really didn’t…” Jiang Yining was on the verge of tears. She said in a wronged tone, “If Grandma insists that I said it, then just take it that I said it.”
Old Madam Lu pointed at her. “You cunning girl!”
“Ah Zhi…”
Jiang Yining asked Lu Zhi for help again.
“Brother Ah Zhi, look at this demoness. She’s been angering Grandma!” Chen Kexin took the opportunity to sow discord and add insult to injury.
Lu Zhi’s expression turned cold. “Yining, come with me.”
After saying that, he took the lead and walked in front.
Seeing this, Chen Kexin couldn’t help but glare at Jiang Yining.
She shall see how long she can be arrogant!
How dare she be so impudent in front of Grandma!
This time, Brother Ah Zhi would definitely chase her out of the Lu family!
Jiang Yining followed Lu Zhi into the study and said preemptively, “Lu Zhi, you promised to protect me. Are you just going to watch them bully me like this?”
“Were you bullied? I think my grandma and Kexin are the ones being bullied.” Lu Zhi’s tone was calm, but the force in his words was so oppressive that people couldn’t raise their heads.
“They want to chase me away indiscriminately. Can’t I retaliate?” Jiang Yining raised her chin slightly and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
She knew that her personality was not likable. Gu had accused her of being petty and narrow-minded more than once.
However, she was unwilling to change it.
It was already very hard to live in this world.
Why did she have to endure it so painstakingly?
Jiang Yining was stubborn and refused to give in.
Lu Zhi stared at her and said word by word, “If anyone dares to bully you, I’ll settle it. If you argue with them like this, it will only make things more and more troublesome. Jiang Yining, the foundation of cooperation is trust. If you can’t even give me this little bit of trust, there’s no need for us to continue.”
