Lu Yazhi remained silent for a long time. Her eyes went from being shocked and incredulous when she first heard Lu Qian's words to being calm now.

Upon closer reflection, the clown was actually herself.

She always felt that Lü Qian, as the eldest daughter of the Lü family, had several younger sisters who were not loved by their parents. Because they were girls, they were oppressed and looked down upon due to the preference for boys. She felt that Lü Qian was pitiful and helpless.

Furthermore, it was because Lu Yazhi knew how difficult it was to be an older sister, as Lu Qian was the eldest daughter in her family and had to help with chores and take care of her younger siblings every day since she was a child. This is why she wanted to help Lu Qian.

But to his surprise, the person he had helped for so many years turned out to be an ingrate.

Wen Qiao was about to get angry, but Lü Yazhi held her arm down.

Her eyes were filled with utter disappointment as she calmly asked Lü Qian, "When did you start planning all this? Were you already planning this before you even came to Beicheng?"

"Coming to Beicheng wasn't forced, as you say. You planned to bring them here to deliberately cling to me so I wouldn't have the heart to refuse you, didn't you?"

Lü Qian couldn't see through Lü Yazhi's eyes. She felt that Lü Yazhi should be angry after hearing what she said, but she wasn't. Her expression was very calm, so calm that Lü Qian felt a little flustered and unsure.

She suppressed the panic in her heart and wanted to continue playing the emotional card.

“Auntie, we didn’t mean to bother you. We share the same surname as you, Lü. Even if you can’t treat us the same way you treat Cousin Wen Qiao, at least you’d treat us better than strangers, right?”

“But you treat the Wu family better than we do.”

"Wu Suowei isn't your biological grandson, so why are you so good to him? And why are you having your second sister and the others take care of him? Is that right?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yazhi gave a cold laugh.

"Lü Qian, you need to understand that the three of them are staying at the Wu family's house. When you're staying at someone else's house, you need to be more discerning."

"Stop saying anything, pack your things and get out of here."

Upon hearing the harshness in Lü Yazhi's words, Lü Qian's tone immediately hardened as well.

“Why should we leave? You think we can just leave because you say so? Without the Lü family recipes, you wouldn’t be able to make so much money. You’ve made so much money with the Lü family recipes, it’s our turn now.”

After Lü Qian finished speaking, she acted completely nonchalant. It was clear that after living in a small county for many years, Lü Qian had indeed learned a lot of underhanded ways to deal with people.

“I won’t leave unless you give me the recipe. I’ll go to the restaurant every day and loudly proclaim that you stole our Lü family’s recipe.”

A slap.

Seeing that Lü Yazhi had directly reached out and slapped Lü Qian hard across the face.

Lu Qian was clearly stunned by the blow. After she came to her senses, she immediately rushed forward and started fighting with Lu Yazhi.

Lu Yazhi never imagined that the niece she had raised would turn around and hit her.

Seeing her mother being beaten, Wen Qiao saw several scratch marks on her face from Lü Qian's direct attack and decisively stepped forward, pressing Lü Qian down and slapping her several times. Lü Qian was quite strong, and Wen Qiao was about to be overwhelmed when Wu Suowei came down from the second floor and decisively helped Wen Qiao.

Seeing Wu Suowei join the fight, the younger members of the Lü family also stepped forward and started hitting Wen Qiao.

Ignoring the pain on her face, Lü Yazhi shoved the children aside.

"If you don't want to die, stand aside."

After pinning Lü Qian to the ground, Wen Qiao struck her hard on the chest and waist several times before calling Wu Suowei to call the police.
