Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Upon hearing the words "son of a high-ranking official in the Industry and Commerce Bureau," Old Mrs. Lu immediately asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"That brat, she's really flying out of the chicken coop and becoming a phoenix so fast, and Guan Xiuqin is still keeping it from me!"

Lu Yang chuckled: "Not only did I keep it from you, my dad definitely doesn't know either."

"The old man is hooking up with the director of the fertilizer plant in the county, and the young man is hooking up with the son of a high-ranking official in the provincial capital. The youngest son is also a college student. The whole family is getting rich and powerful. You and Dad are just a burden to them. They can't wait to get rid of you."

Grandma Lu no longer cared about throwing a tantrum; she sat on the ground, her expression growing colder and colder.

Lu Yang continued with a smile, "Your little grandson will probably become Liang Yao in a while."

"I'm just a long-distance truck driver, making a little money. How can I compare to a family of three?"

Old Mrs. Lu jumped up, her face ashen, and cursed, "Bullshit! Lu Yao is my second son's only child. Unless I die, he will always bear the surname Lu!"

Lu Yang laughed loudly: "That's not up to you!"

"Do you think that all these years, you and Dad have been so devoted to that mother and her two children, and they'll just listen to you?"

Grandma Lu's eyes darted around violently, and she clenched her fists, trembling with anger.

All around, there was a constant gasp of breath, and complete silence; everyone was stunned.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yang sighed and said, "Grandma, it's okay if you don't like my second aunt, but you should thank Director Liang."

“My dad committed such a serious crime. If it weren’t for Director Liang’s financial and logistical support, my dad would definitely have been sentenced!”

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. My dad embezzled more than 7,000 yuan from the village, and none of the money was spent by our family of five. It was all spent on Guan Xiuqin and her two daughters."

Grandma Lu gritted her teeth, stood up, picked up her bag, and said, "Take me to Guan Xiuqin's place right now!"

She wanted to tear Guan Xiuqin apart; if it weren't for her, Lu Jianjun wouldn't have been expelled from the Party and sent to the detention center.

If it weren't for her, her family wouldn't have incurred this huge debt of seven thousand yuan, which she could never repay even if she worked herself to death.

What's even more worrying is that their most promising children, Lu Yao and Lu Qing, might become part of the Liang family in the future.

At this moment, Old Mrs. Lu's hatred for Guan Xiuqin reached its peak.

Lu Yang calmly said, "I'll take you to Guan Xiuqin's place now. Whether you can get the money out of her is up to you. Anyway, that seven thousand yuan was spent by her and her children."

"She's about to become the factory director's wife, there's no way she wouldn't have money."

"She did no work in the Lu family for over twenty years, yet she received all the benefits. Now that you're in trouble, she's run away and remarried. Are you just going to let her go like this?"

A hint of resentment flashed in Old Mrs. Lu's eyes; Lu Yang's words struck a chord deep within her.

She was never one to back down, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Why does she get all the good things, you little whore!"

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow. Compared to his mother, the old lady disliked Guan Xiuqin even more.

The neighbors around were all speechless. Old Mrs. Lu picked up her luggage and got on the truck.

Lu Yang pulled her straight to Guan Xiuqin's new residence. Guan Xiuqin was afraid of being found by Lu's family, so she specially changed to a more secluded residence.

But Lu Yang only spent thirty yuan to inquire at Chen's Restaurant and got her exact address.

Half an hour later, he took Grandma Lu to the residential area where Guan Xiuqin lived.

The buildings in this community are all seven stories high, and each building has a small courtyard on the first floor with lots of greenery, as well as horizontal and parallel bars for exercise.

"You little bitch, my son went to jail because of her, and she's still living in such a nice house!"

Old Mrs. Lu cursed through gritted teeth.

Lu Yang said quietly, "This is the best residential area in the county. The monthly rent is the same as the apartment Lu Qing rented in the provincial capital, which is 35 yuan per month, excluding water, electricity, heating and property management fees."

Grandma Lu snorted and strode off, saying, "Those two little hussies really know how to enjoy themselves!"

"Isn't Lu Qing still in college?"

Lu Yang calmly said, "The dormitories at the provincial university are crammed with eight people into one room. It's nowhere near as comfortable as renting a place in a high-end residential area outside!"

Grandma Lu's eyes were red with anger: "Every time Lu Qing calls, it's just asking for money. I thought going to college would cost a lot of money, but it turns out she's enjoying herself. This mother and daughter are like leeches, sucking people's blood!"

Lu Yang agreed wholeheartedly. When he led Grandma Lu to Guan Xiuqin's door, he reminded her, "Grandma, be polite to Director Liang. Otherwise, if he just raises his hand, my dad will be in trouble."

Grandma Lu felt extremely uncomfortable, but she still said with a cold face, "I know what I'm doing."

Lu Yang nodded, rang the doorbell for her, and then turned and went down the stairs.

Guan Xiuqin sat listlessly on the carpet in the bedroom. For the past two weeks since returning from the provincial capital, she had tried every possible way to please Liang Jingwei.

But Liang Jingwei remained very cold towards her, which made her feel very upset, as if she had been cheated out of her life.

She was now filled with regret. She should never have listened to that brat Lu Qing. Not only did she fail to kill Lu Yang, but she also blocked her own escape route.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

She sat up abruptly, feeling very puzzled. She didn't know anyone here, and Liang Jingwei hadn't come for a long time. She couldn't imagine who would come looking for her.

After hesitating for a moment, she got up and walked to the door. Looking out through the peephole, she came into view of Old Mrs. Lu's wrinkled old face.

what--

How did she find her way here?

Guan Xiuqin was startled. She tried her best not to see Lu Jianjun, let alone Old Madam Lu.

Ding dong ding dong ding dong——

As she was thinking, the doorbell rang several more times. Grandma Lu kept pressing the doorbell, one after another.

Lu Yang leaned against the stairwell, watching as Old Mrs. Lu frantically rang the doorbell, but there was no response from inside. He couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Grandma, what's your relationship to Xiao Guan?"

The older woman next door was disturbed by the noise and came out of her door, politely asking what was wrong.

Grandma Lu turned around and said, "I am Guan Xiuqin's mother-in-law. She is clearly inside, so there's no way she would open the door for me."

The neighbor was incredulous. In her memory, Guan Xiuqin was a polite and refined person. How could she have turned her mother-in-law away?

"Aunt Liang, she might not be home. Why don't you come to my house and sit for a while?"

The neighbor's words completely ignited Old Mrs. Lu's anger. She shouted hysterically, "My family name is Lu. Guan Xiuqin is my second son Lu Jianmin's wife. She and my son have two children. The eldest daughter is named Lu Qing, and the youngest son is named Lu Yao!"

The neighbor was stunned. Just last month, she saw Guan Xiuqin arm in arm with Liang Jingwei, the director of the fertilizer plant, in the neighborhood, and said that Liang Jingwei was her lover.

She thought about it carefully and realized that Liang Jingwei hadn't come over for a long time. Guan Xiuqin said that Liang Jingwei had been busy living at the factory recently.

She pursed her lips, her gossipy nature stirring within her: "Didn't your son come along?"
