“Is there anything else? If not, i’ll take my leave first.”
Jiang Yining said coldly.
Old Madam Lu suppressed the anger in her heart and said, “There’s one more thing that I need to discuss with you and Ah Zhi.”
“What is it?” Jiang Yining asked coldly.
“It’s about… It’s about…” Old Madam Lu hesitated for a while before mustering the courage to say, “I heard that Ah Shu’s mistress is pregnant.”
“I know about this. Why… Are you bringing this up because you want to bring a mistress’s illegitimate son into the house?” Jiang Yining guessed her intentions and the anger in her chest burned fiercely. She said in an aggressive tone, “I remember that you’ve never taken a liking to people of low birth.”
“Back then when I was going to marry Lu Zhi, didn’t you join hands with Chen Kexin and think of every means to break us apart? Shouldn’t you treat Yu Lingyu like how you treat me?”
Old Madam Lu was extremely embarrassed. “Her situation is different from yours. She has the flesh and blood of our Lu family in her stomach. Moreover, Shen Man brought this upon herself. Who asked her to betray my son? After such a disgraceful act, allowing her to stay in the Lu family is already a great favor. Now, no matter what Tan Shu does, it’s justified!”
Jiang Yining was so angry that she almost laughed. “You’re really good at playing double standards. I’m impressed!”
“You don’t have to be sarcastic with me.” Old Madam Lu said, “Jiang Yining, I’ve accepted you now. You’re officially a part of the Lu family. Let’s write off all our past grudges. In the future, whether it’s you or me, we have to consider the future of the Lu family.”
“Cut to the chase. What do you want me to do?”
Jiang Yining got straight to the point impatiently.
“Go and persuade Shen Man to agree to bring Yu Lingyu’s child into the family and raise the child under her name. Don’t worry, I will never allow Yu Lingyu to enter the family for Ah Zhi and Beicheng’s sake. I only want the blood of our Lu family to not wander outside. Those mistresses can do whatever they want. I don’t care.”
Jiang Yining listened to her quietly and asked in a low voice, “What can I get by doing all this for you?”
Old Madam Lu said, “If you help me settle this matter, I’ll introduce you to the people around me.”
This was equivalent to acknowledging her status as Young Madam Lu to everyone.
From now on, no one would dare to question Jiang Yining, whether it was outside or at home.
Old Madam Lu felt that her bargaining chip was still very tempting to Jiang Yining.
After all, the only connections that the Old Master and All Zhi could introduce to Jiang Yining were mostly men.
To understand the ins and outs of the A-City socialite and wealthy wives’ circle, she had to be introduced by Old Madam Lu.
Jiang Yining chuckled and said, “Oh, I don’t agree.”
“What did you say?!”
Old Madam Lu stood up angrily and asked loudly.
Jiang Yining stared into her eyes and said word by word, “Grandma, I’d like to know. If Grandpa has a woman outside and even has an illegitimate child, will you be magnanimous and let him into the family?”
“How dare you! Is it your place to discuss the matters of the elders?”
Old Madam Lu said angrily.
Jiang Yining said calmly, “You see, I’m just assuming that you won’t accept it. If it really happens, you’ll probably have to take a knife and cut people, right?”
Old Madam Lu frowned and didn’t say anything.
Jiang Yining said, “1 won’t do anything to hurt my mother. As for you wanting your grandson to acknowledge his ancestors, you can go and do that yourself.”
Seeing that she was about to leave, Old Madam Lu stood up anxiously and grabbed her arm.
“Jiang Yining, 1’11 give you one last chance! If you refuse to step in and wait for me to resolve this matter, I’m afraid it will make Shen Man look even worse.”
Old Madam Lu threatened.
Jiang Yining shook her off and said, “I’m afraid that you’ll be the one embarrassed, not my mother!”
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Talking to this old witch had really refreshed her worldview time and time again.
For the sake of an illegitimate child, she wanted to stir up trouble in the family!
What else does this grandmother want to do?
She really wanted to pour a bucket of cold water on her to wake her up!
Jiang Yining went home in a huff.
Lu Zhi had just washed the fruits. He picked up a fresh strawberry and stuffed it into her mouth. He asked, “Did you get bullied at school? You’re so angry that your mouth is pouting.”
Jiang Yining snorted lightly, hugged him, and said with distress, “I told you, you’re not allowed to get angry..”
