"Yes, giving you some shares is a form of compensation."

“Normally, we try to give you money in different ways, but you don’t want it. Instead, you take some dividends every year as living expenses, so you don’t have to work so hard to make a living anymore.”

That's what I meant.

Just like she is a good mother who truly cares about Lu Yi.

Lu Yi shrugged and laughed.

"With so many eyes and ears in your Lu family, surely you know that my shares in the Gu family are enough for me to live the same life as Lu Han, right?"

"If I were still as useless as before, and even picking up a piece of braised pork with my chopsticks would be considered a violation of family rules, would you be eager to give me shares?"

Qin Fengying's face stiffened, and she swallowed hard.

"Yi'er, that's not what Mommy meant..."

Lu Yi's smile widened.

"The food I ate at your house was worse than the dog your adopted son raised, Mrs. Lu. Why weren't you worried about my living expenses when I came here?"

"Oh, by the way, I heard that Lu's shareholders are withdrawing their investment. You want more people to get more shares and create more opportunities for the Lu family, right?"

"I'm so sorry, I... don't care at all!"

Qin Fengying felt as if she had been drenched in an icy rain; her back was covered in cold sweat, and her palms were slippery.

That unfilial son!

When exactly did I become so insightful?

How did he know about what was going on inside the Lu family?

Could he be the mastermind behind those shareholders?

Qin Fengying looked in the direction her biological son had left and almost collapsed to the ground.

The person in charge appeared just in time and helped her up.

"Mrs. Lu, are you alright?"
