Chapter 208: Redirecting And Deflecting An Attack

Everyone was extremely dissatisfied with the old lady’s actions, but no one dared to stand up and criticize her.
After all, in the entire Lu family, other than Old Master Lu, no one dared to control her.
Old Master Lu was furious as he threatened, “If you really dare to transfer the shares to Kexin, I’ll divorce you!”
Was equity something to joke about?
This concerned the foundation of the Lu family!
Usually, no matter how much trouble she caused, he could turn a blind eye to it.
However, this concerned the future of the family, so he would never allow her to act recklessly.
Old Madam Lu had originally been hot-headed and had said something ridiculous. She regretted it the moment she blurted it out and was just thinking about how to smooth things over.
However, she never expected her husband to threaten to divorce her because of this.
She was instantly stunned.
Immediately after, she became extremely angry.
She had worked so hard for the family for decades, and he actually wanted to abandon her!
Alright!
Divorce? So be it!
“Tomorrow…”
Til go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you to settle the divorce procedures!’
She had just opened her mouth to speak when Jiang Yining interrupted her calmly.
She said, “Grandma, the shares belong to the entire Lu family. It’s not something you can decide alone. If you give your shares to someone else without our permission, 1’11 go to the television station and various banquet venues tomorrow… and tell everyone that you gave the shares to a maid’s daughter without permission and did not take the Lu family seriously at all. Do you think the others will stand on our side or on your side?”
“Who do you think you are to talk to me?” Old Madam Lu snapped at Jiang Yining with disdain.
Jiang Yining chuckled and said calmly, “I’m Lu Zhi’s official married wife and a member of the Lu family. Regardless of whether you acknowledge me or not, you can’t change this fact.”
Old Madam Lu was speechless.
Jiang Yining glanced at Chen Kexin and said, “You have to remember your identity, status, and what you said just now. If you take the old lady’s shares, you’ll be putting her in a situation where everyone will betray her. The old lady loves you so much. I don’t think you’ll repay her so cruelly, right?”
She had already said all the good and bad things, so how was Chen Kexin supposed to answer?
Moreover, she had clearly rejected the old lady’s gift just now and then if she turned around to accept the shares, wouldn’t she be slapping her own face?
Chen Kexin gritted her teeth and said pitifully, “Grandma, don’t give me the shares. I really don’t want them. If you continue to have conflicts with your family because of me, I’ll be so ashamed that I won’t be able to show my face.”
Since the parties involved had rejected her, Old Madam Lu had no choice but to give up.
However, looking at the arrogant and despotic Jiang Yining, she was not willing to be manipulated like this.
Old Madam Lu said in a low voice, “You’re just a junior, yet you’re interfering in the matters of your elders. Is this the upbringing of the Gu family?”
“As a junior, 1 naturally shouldn’t interfere in the matters of my elders. However, the younger generation has the obligation to point out the mistakes of their elders. Moreover, I’m standing up to speak for everyone. If you don’t believe me, let’s vote and see who objects to your decision just now.”
Jiang Yining took a step forward and said, “1’11 be the first to object.”
Lu Zhi supported her without hesitation and said, “I don’t agree either.”
Old Madam Lu glanced at the others and exerted pressure.
Jiang Yining said calmly, “If you don’t stand up now, don’t blame us for not leading the opposition when the old lady really gives away her shares.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Man said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, “I object too.”
“You b*tc-”
Old Madam Lu was about to scold her when twenty to thirty people in the hall walked out in unison and said, “Grandma, we also object.”
“Mom, we also object.”
In the huge room, everyone except Chen Kexin stood on Lu Zhi and Jiang Yining’s side.
Old Madam Lu had become a loner.
A sense of sadness still welled up in her heart.
“Good, you are all very good. All of you are going against me,” said Old Madam Lu.
She turned to leave.
Chen Kexin took a deep look at Lu Zhi before she jogged and followed her.
After the two of them left, the living room fell into a short silence.
Old Master Lu said in a deep voice, “You can all go back. Don’t worry about what happened tonight. When one is old, it is inevitable that they would be muddle-headed.”
These words were still said to protect the old lady’s pride.
Everyone could naturally tell.
They bade farewell and returned to their respective courtyards.
After everyone dispersed, Old Master Lu walked up to Jiang Yining and patted her shoulder. He said, “Yining, it was really hard on you just now.”
It was not convenient for all the descendants of the Lu family to come forward and oppose the old lady’s decision.
At that moment, Jiang Yining took the lead and drew more hatred for herself.
However, it was precisely the words she said that stopped Old Madam Lu’s ridiculous behavior.
Old Master Lu admired his granddaughter-in-law from the bottom of his heart.
“Don’t worry. Your grandmother’s anger will subside in a few days. I’ll talk to her properly and not let her do it again.”
“Yes, Grandpa, I know.” Jiang Yining said obediently.
Where was the intimidating look from just now?
Old Master Lu nodded and said, “Alright, it’s getting late. You guys can go back first.””
“Okay.”
Jiang Yining said goodbye to the old man.
They took the car home.
Lu Zhi said in the car, “Don’t go against Grandma in the future. It will only deepen her bad impression of you.”
“Her impression of me is already bad enough.” Jiang Yining said indifferently, “Besides, Grandpa even said that he wanted a divorce. If no one interfered, the old couple’s relationship would really be damaged.”
Jiang Yining didn’t care at all what Old Madam Lu thought of her. She would leave sooner or later anyway. During this period of time in the Lu family, she only wanted to live a comfortable life.
Moreover, she could also tell that the old witch did not really want to give the shares to Chen Kexin. It was more like she was panicking.
She stepped forward and said all these things on purpose to give her a way out so that she wouldn’t make things worse.
How could Lu Zhi not understand Jiang Yining’s thoughts?
However, it just so happened that he had guessed it, so he felt that it was even more rare.
Lu Zhi was silent for a moment before raising his hand and patting her head. He said, “Jiang Yining, how much have you been through for you to be so sensible?”
Jiang Yining looked ahead and said with a smile, “Why are you suddenly so emotional? I’m not used to it.”
The atmosphere in the car was deliberately ruined by her.
Lu Zhi curled his lips into a smile. His large palm slid down and held her small hand.
“Nothing. I just suddenly felt sleepy and wanted to borrow your shoulder to sleep for a while.”
After saying that, he ignored her resistance.
He leaned his head on her shoulder.
Jiang Yining couldn’t take it, and his heavy head was pushed to the side.
“Lu Zhi, get up!” She struggled and shouted.
Lu Zhi turned a deaf ear.
As the two of them messed around with each other in the back of the car, Qi Feng, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, considerately lowered the partition between the front and back of the car..
