"Some time ago, I accompanied my husband, Lao Lin, to meet with a partner in Haicheng. Something very interesting happened that day."

"What's the matter? Tell me about it."

The lady who was speaking glanced at Lu Zhaoning, then smiled and said, "The party A that Lao Lin cooperated with, because his wife gave birth to several sons, he wanted a daughter, so he adopted a girl from an orphanage. The girl looked well-behaved when she was young, but who knew what kind of personality she would have when she grew up..."

"We were invited to attend a banquet held by Party A's family that day. The girl made a scene in public, which made Party A's wife suffer from an asthma attack. The girl even hid the medicine in advance."

"You say this isn't murder?"

None of the ladies here are naive.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other.

But there was a fool who didn't understand what the lady meant and kept asking, "What happened next? Was the lady saved? Asthma can be fatal."

"Of course she was saved. The girl was in love with one of her brothers. But the A family was also a prominent family in Haicheng. How could they allow such a scandal to happen in their family? Especially since the adoptive mother was the most opposed to it."

[It's not easy to lay so much groundwork. You just say that I, Lu Zhaoning, am an ungrateful person. I can still admire you.]

Shen Qinghe widened his eyes.

The niece said nothing.

She heard the voice again.

[Is this the quality of a rich lady? She is no different from a street gossip. ]

Shen Qinghe really felt like he had seen a ghost.

She didn't care about the lady who had made provocative remarks for a moment and grabbed Lu Zhaoning's hand.

"Zhao Ning, are you okay?"

Lu Zhaoning didn't understand what was going on. He glanced at his tightly grasped hand and said softly, "Aunt San, what's wrong?"

"Are you really okay?"

Lu Zhaoning thought Shen Qinghe was talking about these people who were indirectly saying that she was ungrateful, so he said calmly: "It's okay, other than showing that they have no manners, what can I do to them?"

Several ladies who were called out looked a little embarrassed.

Shen Qinghe almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

In daily social interactions between ladies, even if they dislike each other, they will remain polite and no one will directly embarrass the other.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Lin, Zhaoning was talking about those people with no manners, not you."

Mrs. Lin didn't take it to heart at first. It would be wrong if Shen Qinghe called on her to apologize, but it would make her angry. If she didn't get angry, she would feel aggrieved.

"Ms. Lu is quite eloquent."

The sister-in-law of Zhao Yanyun's cousin seemed determined to get a result.

Lu Zhaoning smiled and looked at the lady who was speaking, his eyes showing a serious look.

"It turns out to be Mrs. Du. I felt very friendly when I first saw you."

Wang Jingyu smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Zhao Ning, you and Madam Du know each other?"

"Yes, Madam Du has been to the Jiang family before, but she doesn't like me and even scolded me to my face."

"When did I ever scold you? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lu Zhaoning looked bewildered. "When the real daughter of the Jiang family came back, didn't you come to congratulate her? At that time, you scolded me for being a crow that had taken over the magpie's nest, and said that country people are cunning."

"Oh, Mrs. Du, I really didn't realize that you have such a mean face."

"Whose family has not been from the countryside for three generations? If you look down on country people, aren't you forgetting your roots?"

"In the future, when we have gatherings in our circle, we should not invite some people, so that they will not be friendly with us on the surface, but may complain about us behind our backs."

As soon as Lu Zhaoning finished speaking, those who disliked Mrs. Du began to mock her.

"Mrs. Du, you openly and secretly said that Miss Lu was ungrateful. Before you said this, I'm afraid you didn't know what kind of life Miss Lu was living in the Jiang family, right?"

The husband of the lady who was speaking is a senior executive of Luming Group, so naturally she would speak for Lu Zhaoning.

Mrs. Du was upset by your repeated remarks and kept a sullen face without saying a word.

"From what you said, is Miss Lu not living well in the Jiang family?"

"It's more than bad. My daughter is Miss Lu's high school classmate. She said Miss Lu doesn't have much pocket money. If she wants to buy something she likes, she has to do odd jobs.

Girls born in families like ours are all spoiled and pampered. Even if we really want to raise children to be independent, we don’t do it this way.”

As soon as the lady finished speaking, everyone looked at Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du was extremely angry, but she just couldn't resist Mrs. Jiang's pleading and helped to find out more.

It's none of her business, why are they all looking at her?

The other lady smiled at Lu Zhaoning and said, "I felt that Miss Lu looked familiar. It turns out that we met at the hot pot restaurant that day."

Lu Zhaoning raised his eyebrows. What happened at the hot pot restaurant was actually witnessed by someone. What a coincidence.

“What hot pot restaurant?”

“Just a few days ago, I was eating hotpot with my children at the hotpot restaurant opened by Mr. Lu, and I saw a mother and daughter questioning Miss Lu aggressively. I didn’t know Miss Lu at the time, and it was my daughter who first discovered that something was wrong.

At the time we were afraid that the mother and daughter would beat people up, so my daughter even took a video. Here it is…"

The lady projected the video directly onto the big screen.

Because it was taken secretly, the picture is not very clear, but because it was close, the sound can be heard clearly.

"Giving away thirty or fifty thousand to send off an adopted daughter like me, I'm afraid people will laugh their heads off if I tell anyone about it!"

"...This child is our Jiang family's adopted daughter. She has a very strange personality..."

……

In the video, Lu Zhaoning was enjoying his hotpot when the Jiang mother and daughter suddenly made provocative remarks.

It is not difficult to see from the picture that Lu Zhaoning was so angry that he fainted.

Lu Jinyue said something angrily, but the Jiang mother and daughter refused to give in.

If Mr. Lu hadn't arrived in time, who knows how the mother and daughter would have bullied Lu Zhaoning.

The expressions on the faces of the ladies who had previously implied that Lu Zhaoning was ungrateful were also very interesting.

"I…I didn't know that was the case."

Mrs. Du's face was burning with anger, and she wished there was a hole in the ground so she could crawl into it.

"I know you have a good heart, but next time you should be more careful and don't let others take advantage of you."

Mrs. Du was not comforted at all. She felt that these words were more painful than a slap in the face.

She was so embarrassed today that no one will invite her to such parties again.

"I'm sorry Miss Lu, I didn't understand clearly what happened before."

Lu Zhaoning said "oh" but showed no intention of understanding.

Mrs. Du was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so she found an excuse and left in a hurry.

As soon as she entered the elevator, she couldn't help but call her sister-in-law.

"What kind of relatives are there on your mother's side? Are you crazy?

The Lu family is one of the four major families in Jiangcheng. Is it possible that even the entire Du family combined are not as powerful as the Lu family?

Last time, your good cousin got into trouble and asked you for help, which made mom very unhappy. I asked you to have less contact with her, but you refused to listen..."

Mrs. Du's sister-in-law was scolded so harshly that she was naturally unhappy.

As soon as her sister-in-law hung up the phone, she immediately called Zhao Yanyun and scolded her in the same way. She finally felt better.
