Chapter 171 It's Not Your Turn to Decide

Finding an opportunity, Luo Shu and Luo Qiu sat together.

Luo Qiu's face showed undisguised exhaustion.

"Mom, what exactly happened?" Luo Shu asked anxiously.

Knowing she couldn't hide it any longer, Luo Qiu told her the whole story.

The general reason for this is that Luo Zhen was getting old and wanted to retire from the internet industry, so he divided the company's shares equally among his family members in his will.

Luo Zhen had no sons, only two daughters, Luo Yan and Luo Qiu.

The will clearly states that Luo Qiu, Luo Yan, Lin Yi, Lin Xiao, and Luo Shu will each receive 15% of the shares, and the will has been notarized.

Luo Qiu didn't want it in the first place; she just wanted to live a quiet and carefree life as before.

Neither Lin Yi nor Luo Yan had any objections to this matter.

Lin Xiao, however, was not happy about it.

She felt that Luo Qiu and Luo Shu had come back to fight for the family fortune, and that since she had just graduated, her parents didn't like managing the business, while Lin Yi had her own career.

As long as they don't interfere, the entire Luo family business will fall into Lin Xiao's hands.

Now that two people have suddenly appeared and taken away 30% of the shares, she must be unhappy.

They didn't argue about it, but Lin Xiao's attitude towards Luo Qiu at home was extremely bad, both openly and secretly.

Luo Yan and Lin Yi's father often tried to persuade her, but Lin Xiao had a fiery temper and had argued with her family many times in private.

This caused the Luo family a great deal of trouble.

Luo Zhen was so angry he almost fell ill.

"Mom, you should move out first."

Zhou Zhiyi gave her twenty-two properties, so she could live anywhere in the city.

Luo Qiu was also planning to do the same thing. Zhou Zhiyi had said the same thing to her a couple of days ago, and she was also planning to do so.

“Okay.” Luo Qiu nodded.

"I'll ask Grandpa about the equity issue later." Luo Shu couldn't make up her mind for the moment.

Everyone understood Luo Zhen's feelings; Luo Qiu was a source of deep worry for him.

Luo Zhen will also be here today, but I haven't seen him yet.

“This incident has been a big blow to your grandfather. I didn’t expect anything in return. If it can be resolved peacefully, everyone can suffer less.” Luo Qiu patted Luo Shu’s hand.

"I know, Mom."

"You should go quickly, it seems like A-Zhan is waiting for you." Luo Qiu glanced at Yu Zhan not far away.

Yu Zhan and Lin Yi were chatting, and Yu Zhan's expression wasn't very good, but when he looked at Luo Shu, his expression was so gentle.

I suppose they were talking about the same thing.

Yu Zhan wasn't waiting for her at all; he was clearly afraid she would run away, and wished he could put her in his pocket and carry her everywhere.

"Okay," Luo Shu replied.

Luo Qiu left and walked with Zhou Zhiyi.

Luo Shu did not go to Yu Zhan's side, but sat on the picnic mat on the lawn, quietly eating the dessert that Bai Xi had brought her.

"Cousin." The voice came from Lin Xiao, who was walking over from not far away.

Luo Shu smiled, "Cousin Lin Xiao."

She was wearing a white dress, with slightly wavy long hair, and looked dignified and elegant.

However, the bright red color on the nails seemed to overshadow the nails.

"You really are just like your aunt." She curled her lips, her sarcasm impossible to hide.

Luo Shu knew what she meant by "same as before," and her disgust for her grew even stronger.

She smiled gently, took a bite of dessert, and said, "The Luo family is naturally outstanding, but I haven't seen you inherit anything from them. It's a real pity."

"Cousin, don't speak so rudely. It's one thing to be dirty-minded, but stop dragging the Luo family into this. Who do you think you are as a member of the Luo family?" Lin Xiao said, looking around to make sure no one was there, before sitting down opposite Luo Shu.

The two were sitting cross-legged, and from a distance they seemed to be having a pleasant conversation, though everyone could probably guess what was going on.

"Dirty? Who's dirty?" Luo Shu asked.

“Cousin, let me be frank. Before you came back, Grandpa had already agreed to give all the shares to us. You came back at this time, and your intentions are so obvious. You just want a share of the pie. I'm willing to pay. You name your price. How much would it take for you to give up this share?”

"Cousin, first of all, I want to make it clear to you that we didn't come back at this time; it was Grandpa who personally went to pick up Mom. Secondly, before Grandpa released the shares, they belonged to him, and he could give them to whomever he wanted."

Finally, my mother and your mother are my maternal grandfather's children; we are just byproducts. It's not your place to make decisions about us.

Lin Xiao was rendered speechless by Luo Shu's clear and logical reasoning.

Luo Shu continued, "Your family has always liked you. You've made such a fuss over the shares. If there are any changes to the will, do you think your grandfather will still give you the shares?"

"Luo Shu, you'd better not say anything out of line," Lin Xiao warned her, realizing something was amiss.

"What did I say wrong?"

"You're absolutely right," Lin Xiao sneered maliciously. "Cousin, take your time eating."

Lin Xiao got up, put on her shoes, and left.

Luo Shu didn't want any shares. It would be troublesome, and Luo Yan and Lin's father had been helping Luo Zhen manage things at home for some time. She and Luo Qiu only came back later. If she took the shares like this, she would be afraid that others would criticize her.

Lin Xiao's attitude was really infuriating. Even if he didn't want the shares, he had to fight for his pride.

In addition, Luo Zhen must be worried.

These shares are a dilemma – whether to keep them or not.

Lin Xiao had just left when he made a phone call.

Sis, you're absolutely right. This woman has a sharp tongue and seems very calculating. What should I do?

Lin Xiao smiled and hummed in response to what the other person said.

Sis, you're amazing!

After finishing the call, Lin Xiao walked towards Yu Zhan and Lin Yi.

"Brother, Brother Yu." Lin Xiao's sweet voice and pure appearance did attract the attention of many relatives.

Lin Yi hummed in response but said nothing more. Lin Yi was even more sullen than Yu Zhan, and he disliked Lin Xiao's temper even more.

He felt that his younger sister lacked proper upbringing; despite having a perfect family, she had been spoiled rotten.

Then look at Luo Shu. Even though she only had her mother by her side since she was a child, the temperament she exudes is admirable.

The Yu family really has a keen eye for people. If he hadn't been capable, Yu Hua might not have even been interested in him.

Yu Zhan glanced at Lin Xiao, then fixed his gaze on Luo Shu, who was leisurely enjoying dessert not far away.

She remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

He was relieved to see that he hadn't suffered any losses.

At Lin Xiao's level, he's no match for Luo Shu.

"Why are you all ignoring me?" Lin Xiao asked coquettishly.

Don't you have any idea why I'm ignoring you?

Lin Xiao didn't take it seriously; these two blockheads had never really paid any attention to him.

"Brother Yu, I want the dessert that Luo Shu is drinking too."

Yu Zhan ignored her request and solemnly said, "Call her sister-in-law."

"She's not even as pretty as Sister Su..."

Before Lin Xiao could finish speaking, Lin Yi grabbed her arm and pushed her away.

"If you can't speak, then don't speak. Nobody will think you're mute!"

Lin Yi pushed the person away, and Yu Zhan put his hands in his pockets, his cold gaze falling on her face with an ambiguous meaning.

Su Ting and Lin Xiao are from the same school, senior and junior. They met through Yu Zhan and their relationship is quite good.

It's unbelievable that this person was mentioned in this kind of setting today.

Yu Zhan glared at her, then turned to look for his woman.
