Chapter 452 She is more dazzling than jewels

"Well, Sang Rou, it's not that your aunt doesn't want to help you, it's just that the other party's backing is too powerful, and our little Sang family can't afford to offend them!" Madam Sang instantly switched sides, grabbing Sang Rou's arm and whispering tremblingly, "She has the Lu family's backing to protect her, no wonder your brother-in-law and the others are so protective of her! Sang Rou, blame yourself for being born poor and having no background. If you want to rise to the top, you'll have to cultivate for hundreds more years!"

"...Aunt Sang."

Sang Rou's expression froze. She called out, but could only choke back tears as she turned to look at the beautiful couple standing together.

Not long ago, she was also the second young lady of Hua here, and she was once so dazzling that she would become the focus of everyone's attention even when standing in a crowd!

But now there's nothing left.

Everything she once owned now belongs to this girl named Wen Ni.

She looked down at the dress she had carefully chosen; it was an old style from two years ago, but it was the only decent piece of clothing she had in her wardrobe now…

"Master Lu!"

Qin Yuan flexed her wrists and leisurely walked forward, standing right next to Lu Jinye.

Only then did the Sang family realize that this audacious servant was actually one of Lu Jinye's men!

"It's all your fault!" Boss Sang slapped his forehead, furious. "Today I've offended all these ancestors!"

"..."

"Mr. Lu, you missed a good show because you didn't come in earlier!"

In front of everyone, Qin Yuan deliberately raised his voice.

"Master Lu, do you know what they're saying about Miss Wen Ni? They actually said that Miss Wen Ni is jealous of Sang Rou for almost taking her place as Miss Hua. They said Miss Wen Ni is jealous of the favor Sang Rou received, and that Miss Wen Ni is making a mountain out of a molehill! They're just making a few sarcastic remarks about Miss Wen Ni, and Miss Wen Ni should just accept it and not talk back, otherwise it's disrespectful to her elders! Petty and unreasonable!"

Qin Yuan certainly knows how to make sarcastic and sarcastic accusations!

"No...that's not how it is, Mr. Lu, please let us explain!" Boss Sang, ignoring the pain in his arm, was eager to salvage the increasingly erratic situation. "It was just a little argument between the children, it's not that serious!"

"I know there must be some misunderstanding here," Lu Jinye said casually, showing great understanding.

His sharp gaze shifted away from Madam Sang and Madam Hua's tightly clasped hands, and he smiled, "After all, there are probably very few people in this world who can make our Wen Ni so jealous and hateful! I just wonder what's so special about this Miss Sang Rou?"

"Ah...ah?" The Sang family members were taken aback.

Just as they were trying to guess Lu Jinye's thoughts...

Lu Jinye slowly reached out and picked up the gift box closest to him. As soon as the lid was opened, the dazzling jewelry inside was revealed!

He held it in his palm, his eyes filled with arrogance.

“This is the latest Argyra gemstone I acquired from Bao Xiang Zhai, worth 110,000 per gram. Wen Ni, on the other hand, possesses millions of such expensive and rare gemstones. Why do you think she would be jealous or envious of others’ brilliance?”

"In addition, Wen Ni also donates more than half of her income to help refugees displaced by war around the world. It's hard to imagine what kind of person could arouse her jealousy, given that she is so rich in spirit and body, inside and out?"

"..." Everyone fell silent, speechless.

“She possesses a completely independent personality, absolute self-confidence, and a powerful core. She is completely different from ordinary girls!” The box lid snapped shut, and Lu Jinye slowly raised his eyes to look at Madam Sang and the others. “Please, Madam Sang, do not look at her with ordinary, vulgar eyes, because I think that would be a desecration to her!”

“What Mr. Lu said is also what I wanted to say.” Hua Baichuan nodded solemnly from the side.

Mrs. Sang's face darkened.

Suddenly I felt a pain in my arm.

Turning her head, she saw that it was her elder sister, Madam Hua, who was pinching her arm and scolding her in a low voice, "Second sister! What kind of trouble have you caused today? You've embarrassed me in front of Baichuan again! When you have time, you'll explain yourself properly!"

“Sister…” Madam Sang’s face turned bright red.

"So...this wicked woman is this powerful?" Sang Yu gripped Sang Rou's hand tightly, her mouth agape in astonishment. "Sister Sang Rou, did you hear that? He actually said she owns hundreds of millions of gems, so her net worth must be over a hundred million, right? No...it should be over several billion, right?"

“Yes, it turns out she possesses far more and more than we imagined…” Sang Rou stared blankly, her gaze unfocused. “But with so much, why did she come back to take everything from the Hua family…? Everything here is insignificant to her, but it’s everything to me…”

"Sister, what did you say?"

"nothing……"

Sang Rou snapped out of her daze, her eyes filled with undisguised loneliness.

"What happened today was wrong of the Sang family. Please forgive us, Mr. Lu and Miss Hua!" Boss Sang pulled his wife and daughter's arms, gritting his teeth, daring not to speak out. Despite his age, he still had to bow and scrape to others. "It's the New Year, so we won't disturb your family reunion any longer. We'll take our leave first!"

"Old Sang, won't you stay for a meal before you leave?" Hua Baichuan asked politely.

"No, no."

Boss Sang didn't want to stay a moment longer; he was in a bad mood and turned to leave.

Madam Hua looked at Sang Rou, who was still crying, and couldn't bear it. She went over and took Sang Rou's hand. "Sang Rou, you can come to see me anytime you have time. I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Okay... Auntie."

Sang Rou's cheeks and eyes were red. She finished speaking softly and weakly, then turned and followed the Sang couple out of the Hua family's living room.

Watching their departing figures, Madam Hua couldn't help but sigh again before turning to Wen Ni. "I'm so sorry, Wen Ni, I only have two children at home, my sister and I. My sister has been spoiled since she was little, and she doesn't know how to behave properly. I don't know what possessed her today..."

“Even if they have their faults, they are still my elders. I was a bit emotional today and went too far. Please don’t mind, Auntie,” Wen Ni replied politely.

She had assumed that Madam Hua would side with her sister, but she had been judging a gentleman by her own petty standards!

“There’s no such thing as going too far. Spoiled people should be taught a lesson. Otherwise, they’ll always be ambitious and reckless, and who knows what outrageous things they might do in the future!” Hua Baichuan gave a muffled snort, then smiled gently at Wen Ni. “Let’s go, Wen Ni, Wen Cheng, and Jin Ye. I’ll have the kitchen prepare a meal right away. Let’s all sit down together and have a good chat!”

Hua Baichuan's way of addressing Lu Jinye also became much more intimate.

“Okay, Uncle.” Wen Ni smiled.
