Chapter 390 Backstabbing is a Fact

The argument continued.

Su Shu sneered, "Second Aunt? I've never acknowledged you as my second aunt!"

"I rarely do a good deed, and considering our good relationship over the years, I recommended you to work at my family's company. I never expected that you would invite a wolf into the house. You don't cherish a good job, but instead you hook up with my second uncle."

"Do you think my second uncle is some kind of good person? My second aunt has changed several times. How many years do you think you can stay in that position?"

She had hated her second uncle since she was a child; he was idle and always had his eyes on stealing things from her house.

The company was clearly built up by her parents together.

In the end, this second uncle, who did nothing and only dragged his family down, was forced by his grandparents' persistent nagging to give his father a 10% share of the company.

She hated her father's illegitimate children and lovers, hated her grandparents who were biased towards her maternal grandparents, and also hated her sleazy second uncle.

They are the ones who drove her mother to her death, and now they want to use her for a political marriage.

Lu Jiayi had been interviewing for so long, but she was not satisfied with any of the companies she had interviewed with.

Seeing that she had been struggling for so long without finding a satisfactory internship, and considering that Lu Jiayi and she had gotten along quite well over the years, and that she did need an informant in the company, she introduced Lu Jiayi to the company.

She thought she had arranged a helper for herself, but she never expected that he would turn out to be an ingrate.

Despite knowing that she deeply disliked and hated this second uncle, she still maintained a close relationship with him.

In just a few months, the two had already gotten their marriage certificate.

She rejected her family's marriage proposal, which resulted in her bank cards being frozen, leaving her unable to access any of the family's money. She was forced to start a business selling bags and jewelry, leading a miserable life.

Lu Jiayi betrayed her, married her second uncle, and is now living a comfortable life.

Now, they've even come to her to boast, and dare to try and persuade her to accept the arranged marriage.

We've really given her way too much face these past few years!

Looking at Lu Jiayi, who was now incredibly assertive and had completely abandoned her fawning demeanor, Su Shu felt an urge to tear her apart.

Lu Jiayi remained calm in the face of Su Shu's sarcastic remarks.

"How many years I can serve as your aunt is another matter. At least for now, I am your second aunt, your elder, and I have the right to speak to you. That is enough."

Su Shu was so angry that his face turned ashen, and his voice became shrill and grating.

"Lu Jiayi, you did a great job!"

After her rare moment of losing her composure, she calmed down.

She looked down at Lu Jiayi.

"Do you think the Su family is some kind of lucky nest? Your future fate won't be much better than that of my previous aunts."

"Lu Jiayi, I'll be waiting for the day you get kicked out of the house."

After saying that, he put on his sunglasses, slung his bag over his shoulder, and walked away without looking back.

Lu Jiayi watched her angry back, her lips parted slightly as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed it all back down.

Although she appeared confident on the surface, standing in front of Su Shu, even with her current status as an elder, she still felt inferior.

It is a fact that she betrayed Su Shu; this cannot be denied.

The benefits she would gain from getting close to Su Tiancheng far outweighed any promises Su Shu had made, making it impossible for her to refuse.

The three or four years she spent in university were enough for her to see many things clearly.

She also wants to rely on herself to make a name for herself in Shanghai and establish herself there.

Perhaps such a day will come in the future, but it's far too slow for her to wait, and she doesn't want to wait.

While at school, the differences might not be so obvious, but when it comes to internships and starting work, the contrast becomes so stark.

Huang Xin could easily land a top-notch internship with excellent benefits.

Shen Xuewei's business is thriving. Although the specific details are unknown, judging from the way she casually buys small items and spends hundreds or thousands of dollars without caring, it's easy to guess that her business is doing well.

Su Shu is the daughter of the CEO of Pin Yue Group.

With just a few casual words, she didn't even need an interview; she received an offer from Pin Yue Group the very next day.

Even though Su Shu's card has been frozen, she still owns 12.7% of the shares of Pin Yue Group, as well as hundreds of millions of yuan in funds and real estate.

That was left to her by her mother before she passed away.

Although these things can only be formally inherited after the age of thirty.

But these things are enough to ensure that Su Shu will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of his life.

Even if she refused her family's arranged marriage, she still had the confidence to set up her own household and never return to the Su family again.

The more she witnessed, the more silent and pained Lu Jiayi became.

My grandmother is still undergoing chemotherapy in the hospital, and her condition is worsening. The money we borrowed is almost gone.

With the three-year deadline fast approaching, even though Shen Xuewei wasn't pressing her, the debt felt like a sword hanging over her head, making her restless every day.

Getting together with Su Tiancheng was a plan she had been plotting for a long time.

Su Tiancheng was difficult to get along with, and his parents were also difficult to deal with, but for her, none of that mattered.

She had walked out of the mountain village step by step amidst suffocation and oppression.

She could endure the evil her biological father and stepmother inflicted year after year, day after day, let alone the Su family.

No matter how unpleasant or difficult the Su family members are to get along with, they don't use blunt, vulgar language.

It was nothing more than a sarcastic remark; compared to everything that had happened in the past, it was nothing at all.

She gradually became the woman that Su Tiancheng and his parents liked. She was virtuous, gentle, and sensible, and she got what she wanted. That was enough.

This shortcut was easier to take than she had imagined.

When Lu Jiayi came to her senses, she found Huang Xin and Shen Xuewei sitting on the ground, staring blankly at her.

She knew that the two of them must have heard her and Su Shu's argument, but she didn't care.

As if she didn't see the two people's gazes, she simply stepped forward with concern and inquired about their situation.

"You're awake? Does your head hurt?"

The two shook their heads. "It's nothing."

They didn't stay at school for long; after a quick wash, they each had their own things to do.

Shen Xuewei spoke briefly with the two of them, and only took a few steps away from the dormitory before Lu Jiayi chased after her from behind.

"Weiwei, wait a minute."

Shen Xuewei stopped and turned around to look at her with some puzzlement.

"Is there anything else?"

She had to take her second aunt and Xu Yue to the airport after dinner, so she didn't have time to chat with Lu Jiayi.

Lu Jiayi took an invitation card out of her bag and handed it to Shen Xuewei.

"I'm getting married in two months. Can you be my bridesmaid?"

Shen Xuewei glanced at the invitation but didn't accept it.

"If you're inviting me to your wedding for a meal or something, I might have time. But as a bridesmaid, please decline."

She didn't think her relationship with Lu Jiayi was good enough for her to be her bridesmaid.

During her university years, her best friends were the Lü Zhuyin sisters. She might consider being their bridesmaid.
