Chapter 34: Refusal

"When the time comes, don't talk too much, I'll just deal with your mother and I, and I'll see what they want to do. Jiang Aiguo told the two before going out, Jiang Xuehan and Jiang Luyao nodded to show understanding, and heard Jiang Aiguo whisper: "After so many years, what should come will come after all......

Jiang Xuehan was wearing the casual clothes he bought in the capital before, plain black clothes with a pretty ponytail, his delicate face looked fairer and fairer, and he followed Jiang Aiguo and Lu Yinghua with a Louis Vuitton backpack. Lu Youjie sent an extended Lincoln, Jiang Xuehan secretly said that the Lu family was quite forced, and thought that his luxury car was still parked in the garage of the community, and he had to get a driver's license.

That day, he took Chang Zhongdao's special plane back to Shanghai and brought the Land Rover sent by Gu Xiaoqing over by the way, but Jiang Xuehan couldn't drive it without a driver's license now. Jiang Aiguo didn't get a driver's license, he rode a bicycle to work every day, and Jiang Xuehan was funny every time he saw that old-fashioned bicycle.

Once Jiang Aiguo asked Jiang Xuehan to sit on the beam in front of her to take her home, Lu Yinghua sat in the back seat, and in Jiang Xuehan's memory, the journey home seemed very long, because Jiang Xuehan's buttocks were tortured by the beam along the way. Later, Jiang Xuehan refused to take that kind of transportation, which made Jiang Aiguo puzzled.

"Is it really good to let Xiaozhou be at home alone?" Lu Yinghua was a little uneasy, after all, Chang Xiaozhou had only been in Shanghai for a short time and was not very familiar with the surrounding environment.

"It's okay, I gave her the money, not to mention that she is now immersed in medical books and can't extricate herself at all, maybe she even forgot to eat. Jiang Xuehan comforted Lu Yinghua and said: "Let's finish our errands and go home as soon as possible, if Xiaozhou really forgets to eat, it's not too late to cook for her." โ€

"Alright then, let's go home early. Lu Yinghua nodded and smoothed the small folds of the long skirt on his body, the long skirt was a limited edition of Agnรจs B given to Lu Yinghua by Jiang Xuehan, the small details full of scheming design reveal natural French feelings, the Hermes silk scarf was tied around the neck, showing elegance, and the Hermes hand-sewn handbag was placed on the leg.

Lu Yinghua didn't want to dress up so luxuriously at first, but at Jiang Xuehan's insistence, Lu Yinghua agreed, and Lu Yinghua even felt that what Jiang Xuehan said was very reasonable. Jiang Xuehan told Lu Yinghua to go to the appointment with a high profile in order to extinguish the Lu family's self-righteous pride, and let the Lu family see that Lu Yinghua can live an elegant and chic life after leaving the Lu family, and it is not only the Lu family that can give Lu Yinghua a luxurious future.

The driver of the car looked at the family sitting in the back from the rearview mirror and looked ahead with a blank face, as a driver of the Lu family, he took a high salary and knew how to abide by his duty best.

Located in the former French Concession, the Lu family was developed into a high-end residential area more than a decade ago, and now it is a garden and western-style building complex. Jiang Xuehan looked around, the independent western-style buildings were cleverly separated, and the flowers and trees in the entire residential area were sparse, and the camphor and sycamore trees were lush.

The Lu family, aside from its unpleasant domineering situation, can be regarded as a large family with a long history, because of the wealth accumulated by their ancestors in business, accumulated contacts in the rivers and lakes, and carried forward by later generations, it has become a famous family in the Shanghai market. Lu Youjie, the current patriarch of the Lu family, is very old, not that Lu Youjie can't give birth to a powerful son to take over, but that Lu Youjie himself holds the power.

Lu Youjie was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old when he took over the burden of the Lu family from his father, and he still relied on his insidious and ruthless means to prevent the Lu family from falling. When a person tastes the wonderful taste of power, it is not so easy to give up, and Lu Youjie is a typical example.

After Jiang Xuehan and his party got out of the car, a servant standing outside the door led the four people in, and the extended Lincoln was driven to the parking garage by the driver. Jiang Xuehan let go of his divine sense and explored the surroundings, and found that there was no danger. Seeing that Lu Yinghua and Jiang Aiguo had already walked up the ladder, Jiang Luyao pulled Jiang Xuehan to follow.

Jiang Xuehan looked at it quietly. The interior decoration is magnificent, the decorations can be measured in money, the auction price of 120 million ancient paintings are hung on the wall without scruples, the total amount of 3 million yuan of Yuan blue and white porcelain vases are placed on the collection shelf, and the colorful chandeliers......

All kinds of people sat on chairs, chatted and drank tea on the sofa, waiting for the arrival of Jiang Aiguo's family, and when they heard the movement outside, they pretended not to hear it, and still chatted happily with each other. Jiang Xuehan looked at this formation as if it were a three-hall trial.

Lu Yinghua saw his father and Aunt Tao, who was married to Lu Yinghua's father, Lu Pingfen. Lu Pingfen was very surprised by Lu Yinghua's appearance, he didn't expect Lu Yinghua to leave the Lu family and live such a nourishing life, and Aunt Tao beside Lu Pingfen snorted her nose to show disdain and turned to fiddle with the pigeon eggs on her fingers.

Lu Yinghua was stunned at first, then stroked the broken hair on the side of his face, and sat aside with Jiang Aiguo, Jiang Xuehan and Jiang Luyao also sat down one after another. Lu Youjie was sitting opposite the four of them drinking tea, his eyebrows were lowered and he didn't glance at everyone, but the teacup lid in his hand touched the mouth of the cup intentionally or unintentionally.

"I asked you to come today to announce something, and you have heard it clearly for me. Lu Youjie cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, and everyone in the living room, young and old, listened silently.

"After so many years, Yinghua's incident has long passed, and Yinghua has suffered a lot outside these years, and as a grandfather, I am also sad in my heart, not to mention that Yinghua's children are also older, and it is time for the Lu family to compensate the Yinghua family...... So I'm going to let Yinghua return to the Lu family and go back to the family tree. Lu Youjie said with guilt on his face, with sadness in his voice.

Lu Youjie's words shocked everyone present, and for a while, all kinds of opposition voices arose, and the living room suddenly became noisy. Lu Yinghua and Jiang Aiguo have also changed color, what does Lu Youjie mean by doing this? What's more, Lu Youjie has not obtained Lu Yinghua's consent at all, so why should he make his own opinions.

"I disagree. Without waiting for the people present to persuade Lu Youjie to change his mind, Lu Yinghua said coldly first, and everyone present looked at Lu Yinghua and wondered if this Lu Yinghua was stupid, with such a family as the Lu family as the backing, he still refused. Jiang Xuehan sneered in his heart when he heard Lu Youjie say this, it's really a cat crying mouse fake mercy, but this Lu Youjie's acting skills are good, if he makes a villain movie, he may win an award.

"Patriarch, it was Lu Yinghua who did something wrong to disgrace the family at the beginning, and now it's not appropriate to let her come back, right?" a man with a thin face and small eyes was full of doubts.

"Yes, I can't convince the public, after all, Lu Yinghua's escape from marriage at that time caused a lot of damage to our Lu family's business, and we were ridiculed by our business partners when we went out......" A middle-aged man opened his mouth to persuade: "No matter what, our family doesn't agree, and we can't agree to Lu Yinghua's return to the Lu family." โ€

"I disagree. โ€

"Disagree ......"

"Old man, this matter needs to be carefully considered, the older this person gets, the more confused he becomes. After Aunt Tao finished speaking, she leaned aside and raised the back of her hand to admire it, thinking that this big diamond really complements each other on her hand, and she felt that the red jade bracelet on her wrist was much better than the green jade of the second daughter-in-law.

For a while, there was unanimous opposition in the living room, Jiang Luyao felt that Lu Yinghua's dignity had been violated, these people were unscrupulously talking about Lu Yinghua's past, sharp sarcasm and mean treatment of Lu Yinghua, it was really not something made by a really connotative and educated family, Jiang Luyao felt that he would not be able to help it if he stayed here any longer, and subconsciously looked at Jiang Xuehan.

Jiang Xuehan and Jiang Luyao looked at each other for a few seconds, and then signaled Jiang Luyao to obey Jiang Aiguo's instructions and not to speak easily. Jiang Xuehan saw that Jiang Lu Yao could not hold back and no longer scolded, and smiled in his heart, and secretly said that Jiang Lu Yao can be taught, after all, there is something to say, "The dog bites you, do you still want to bite back."

"Hmph!" Lu Youjie was the same as yesterday, smashing his cane to the ground, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's against you, what I say is what it is, are you the patriarch or am I the patriarch? โ€

"Who said it's useless, and it's useless if I don't agree with it? Mr. Lu, I don't mean that I want to befriend you or climb the tree of the Lu family, I just see that you are so old and can't stand it, and I haven't refuted you for so many years, including the time you drove me, but today, this time, the first and last time, I, Lu Yinghua, ask "you" not to disturb our family's life anymore, okay? You can just be the head of your Lu family with peace of mind. โ€

"You see that after so many years, I have left the Lu family to eat a lot of food and clothing, and I don't need to look at other people's faces to act, and I don't need to be used as a pawn in the bargaining chip family, I'm fine, I'm very satisfied. Lu Yinghua got up and motioned for Jiang Aiguo to leave, and said to Lu Youjie and everyone present: "I, Lu Yinghua, have long been no longer part of the Lu family, not now, not in the future, and will never be." โ€

"Stop! You won't have a chance to step out of here today, don't regret it!" Lu Youjie got up on crutches and said, "If you turn back, I can forgive you again, and you can still be your Miss Lu family with peace of mind." Lu Youjie's voice softened.

"I have done nothing wrong and I should be forgiven, unless you add another trumped-up charge against me. Lu Yinghua left in a chic manner without looking back, Jiang Aiguo walked to Lu Yinghua's side and gently hugged Lu Yinghua's shoulders without saying a word, Jiang Luyao said that he was very satisfied and hurriedly kept up with Lu Yinghua's pace.

Jiang Xuehan walked at the end, she didn't miss Lu Youjie's last vicious glance, that glance made Jiang Xuehan have a bad premonition, maybe she should strike first. The patriarch of the Lu family looked good-faced but was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing, Jiang Xuehan glanced back at the house number of the Lu family.

"Dad, look at their family doesn't take you seriously at all, I can't stand it, after all, you are also their elder! If you want me to say, this Lu Yinghua is a white-eyed wolf, our Lu family has raised her for so many years, and now it's good, hate us......" Aunt Tao said grief-stricken, outsiders really seemed to think that Jiang Aiguo's family had done something rebellious.

Everyone stopped talking, anyway, Lu Yinghua himself didn't want to come back, so why bother to muddy the water when they got what they wanted?

"Let's all disperse, divide you and come with me equally. Lu Youjie squinted his eyes and glanced at the people present, and said in his heart that these people are superficial people, who don't know the value of Lu Yinghua's family at all, and only know about property.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"What's the matter? Heh, you're embarrassed to say hello, you have been a father for so many years and don't know how your daughter is doing, but now it's good, their family has a great daughter, and you people are still in the dark. You don't know how many big families in the capital are sought after by Lu Yinghua's daughter's amazing medical skills, and it would be great if our Lu family could make friends with any big family in the capital. Lu Youjie had long wanted to expand his business to the capital, but he had no connections.

"Ahh

"I drove her out back then, and she was naturally angry, but you are her father, you are responsible for persuading her, if you can't do this thing, don't come to see me, and don't let your wife hang in front of her eyes, after all, your wife is not her own mother. Lu Youjie said slowly while lying on the pear blossom wooden rocking chair.

"Knowing Dad, I'll take care of it. Lu Pingfen respectfully agreed, raised his head again, glanced at Lu Youjie and continued: "Dad, I heard that the young master of the Shangguan family celebrated his birthday in a few days, do you think our Lu family should ......?"

"You look at it, the Shangguan family can't be offended, you go and check the little master of the Shangguan family, and give it whatever he likes. After Lu Youjie finished speaking, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

"Yes, then I'll go out first. โ€
