Chapter 207: If You Don’t Promise Me, I Won’t Let Go Of You

Shen Man couldn’t help but worry when she saw her son. Afraid that he would be unhappy to see her, she could not help but stop in her tracks.
“Grandpa, Mom and I are here for dinner. Is dinner ready?”
Jiang Yining saw Shen Man’s concern and quickly spoke up, attracting everyone’s attention.
Old Master Lu turned around and saw that his daughter-in-law had also come out. He nodded in relief.
“Dinner is ready. 1 was just about to send someone to call you guys.”
“All, I’m so hungry that my stomach is about to flatten. 1 have to have a good meal.” Jiang Yining said as she pushed Shen Man inside.
Lu Zhi’s gaze swept over indifferently as if he didn’t see his mother.
He said to Jiang Yining, “You went out for so long. Where did you go?”
“I was accompanying our mom.”
Jiang Yining pushed her luck and ignored Lu Zhi’s displeased gaze.
Lu Zhi fell silent and did not reply to her.
Jiang Yining continued to speak to Shen Man, “Mom, I think the chefs in our old mansion are really good at cooking. If I keep living here, I’ll definitely become a round fatty…”
Shen Man quietly heaved a sigh of relief as she listened to her.
It was good that Ah Zhi wasn’t angry.
The four of them sat down in order.
The chef served the steaming dishes.
Jiang Yining seemed to be deliberately angering Lu Zhi as she cared for Shen Man
Lu Zhi’s face darkened.
When they were almost done eating, the other members of the Lu family returned home one after another.
They greeted Lu Zhi and Jiang Yining when they saw them.
Jiang Yining was already very familiar with the Lu family, so she dealt with them calmly.
Just as the family was enjoying themselves.
The sound of a car could be heard from the courtyard.
Not long after, Chen Kexin assisted Old Madam Lu and they appeared in front of everyone.
Old Madam Lu’s gaze fell on Jiang Yining, and the anger around her could not help but seep out.
However, she did not lose her temper at Jiang Yining.
She rushed to Old Master Lu and pushed him. She scolded, “You heartless man! I gave birth to your children and took care of the entire Lu family! I’ve worked so hard for half my life, and this is how you treat me?”
In order to let the Gu family discuss marriage matters, she could not participate or cause trouble.
Old Master Lu forcefully sent her to the resort on the island.
The surrounding ships and planes were all evacuated.
Unless Old Madam Lu grew wings, she would not be able to take a step out of the island.
Old Master Lu finally brought her back last night.
Old Madam Lu was furious when she thought of her terrible experience these past few days.
Old Master Lu said, “I saw that you were too tired, so I sent you on vacation. Why don’t you know what’s good for you?”
“You put me under house arrest on the island, and you say it’s a vacation?! How can there be such a shameless person like you in this world?” Old Madam Lu sobbed and wiped her tears as she said, “You must have taken a fancy to some little vixen, that’s why you’re so cruel to me! I don’t want to live anymore…”
After shouting a few words at the top of her lungs, she clutched her chest and squatted on the ground.
She pretended to be extremely uncomfortable.
Old Master Lu frowned and looked at his wife. He chided, “There are so many of our juniors watching. Can you not embarrass yourself?”
Old Madam Lu ignored him and continued to play the role of a sad woman who was suffering.
Old Master Lu couldn’t stand it anymore and turned to leave.
However, she hugged his thigh.
“You’re not allowed to leave!”
“What exactly do you want?” Old Master Lu asked helplessly.
“It’s fine if you want to let this matter go. Give me 4% of the shares and restore Kexin’s treatment in the Lu family. She must not be treated as a maid in this household anymore.” The marriage between the Lu family and the Gu family had already been settled. There was no room for negotiation.
Since that was the case, she might as well get more benefits for Kexin so that the old man would not foolishly hand over all his shares to outsiders.
Old Madam Lu doted on Chen Kexin from the bottom of her heart.
Knowing that the old man had given Jiang Yining 8% of the shares, she naturally had to fight for Chen Kexin.
Eight percent was impossible, but half of that was fine, right?
When Old Master Lu heard this, his face darkened. He berated, “Don’t even think about it!”
No matter what, he would not agree.
“If you don’t promise me, 1 won’t let go of you.”
She was not even allowed to participate in her grandson’s marriage.
She had already lost all her pride. What was there to be afraid of?!
Old Madam Lu was stubborn.
Old Master Lu’s face was red with anger. He bent down and wanted to pull her away.
However, just as he lowered his head, Old Madam Lu stretched out her claws like a cat.
She scratched his face.
Old Master Lu cried out in pain.
Everyone in the hall didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when they saw this dramatic scene.
Just as they were in a deadlock…
Chen Kexin took the initiative to step forward and advised gently, “Grandma, don’t be angry with Grandpa. I don’t want those things. As long as 1 can stay by your side, 1 will be satisfied.”
“Kexin, why are you so silly? With the company’s shares, you are secured for the rest of your life!”
Old Madam Lu knew better than anyone else about Kexin’s awkward position in the Lu family.
The other members of the Lu family did not fight for it. With the dividends from the Lu family’s shares, they could still live their lives without worries.
But Kexin was different!
Kexin could live well now because she was her backer.
What would happen to Kexin when she reached a hundred years old?
Who would take care of her?
Old Madam Lu put down her pride and felt that since Jiang Yining was a member of the Gu family, the chances of Lu Zhi divorcing her were even lower.
Kexin’s hopes were slim.
She couldn’t let Kexin be her granddaughter-in-law, so she could only think of another way out for her.
Chen Kexin’s tears were rolling as she said, “Grandma, 1 know you’re doing this for my own good, but there’s really no need. 1 hope that you and Grandpa will live in harmony for the rest of your life and not argue over me. If you two are separated because of me, 1 have no choice but to leave the Lu family and never come back.”
After saying that, she knelt on the ground.
She begged Old Madam Lu to get up.
Old Madam Lu looked at her angrily.
After a while, she pulled Chen Kexin up and pointed at Old Master Lu’s nose. She shouted, “Look at how good Kexin is! All of you must be blind! You’re all treating trash like treasure!”
Her words were insinuating that Jiang Yining was a worthless trash and Chen Kexin was the treasure.
Lu Zhi said coldly, “Grandma, please watch your words.”
“Did I say anything to you? Why are you shouting at me?” Old Madam Lu pretended to be innocent and reprimanded, “Maybe you know who that comment is directed at so you’re jumping out to say something?”
Lu Zhi frowned.
Old Madam Lu did not wait for him to flare up before she made another explosive comment.
“If you don’t want to give Kexin shares, I’ll give them to her! I have 7% of the
Lu Corporation’s shares, so I’ll give Kexin 4%!”
The rest of the Lu family exploded.
What was this?
Why should the Lu Corporation’s shares be given to an outsider?
Jiang Yining was a member of the Lu family, and she came from a noble background. Jiang Yining marrying into the Lu family would bring benefits to the Lu family.
It was only right for the old master to give her shares!
Who was Chen Kexin?
She was just the daughter of the previous housekeeper!
How could Old Madam Lu give it to her rather than so many descendants of the Lu family?
The old lady was being unfair!
