The people who came were Xue Shuyi's father Xue Pingwei and his wife Su Qing.
Facing the unfriendly and scrutinizing looks in the room, the two of them felt extremely uncomfortable.
No one else wanted to answer, except the old lady, who showed off her cool demeanor as a business insider. She held her teacup and said slowly, "I thought you were just embarrassed to come."
Xue Pingwei looked embarrassed. "Yes, after what Shuyi did, it's really not appropriate for me to come to your house again. But the Xue family is really in trouble right now, so I shamelessly came to you and asked the Lu family if they could help the Xue family out of our past friendship."
"Fellowship?" Jiang Shuyin sneered, her eyes full of hatred.
"When your good daughter was plotting against my son, did she ever take into account our past friendship?!"
Su Qing used to call Jiang Shuyin a sister, but ever since Xue Shuyi did that, she never had the face to contact her again. This time, she really had no other choice.
Now I don't even dare to look at Jiang Shuyin's face.
"Shuyin... I know Shuyi did something wrong. She's sincerely repenting in prison now. I went to see her a few days ago, and she was really repenting. She said she regretted all the stupid things she did before. You don't know, she's lost a lot of weight. It really hurts me..."
Jiang Shuyin didn't look over there from beginning to end, she was only concentrating on peeling grapes for Chen Nianchu to eat.
"That would be great. If you can't repent after going to prison, then your life is truly hopeless."
Su Qing smiled awkwardly, "Yeah... I really don't have the face to see you. It's all my fault for not educating her well... I sent you a message before, but you didn't reply..."
Jiang Shuyin peeled another lychee and stuffed it into Shen Nianchu's hand.
"We're all mothers. Your own child is in prison, but he's only lost weight. He's been taken care of by Cheng Che, and he hasn't suffered any other injustices, yet you're worried about him. My son was plotted against and almost died. He was drugged and was in a coma for so long. Shouldn't I be more worried? You're holding a grudge, so I don't reply to messages. It's understandable. Please be understanding. If you don't, then I can't help it."
Su Qing was so embarrassed that her neck turned red. "Yes, I understand..."
"Since you understand, then I think you two shouldn't come here today." It was Old Lady Lu who spoke. Her tone was quite cold, which was quite surprising.
Xue Pingwei nodded and bowed, his attitude very humble. "It's really shameful, but Aunt Lu, can you please consider the long-standing relationship between my mother and me, and the long-standing relationship between the Lu and Xue families..."
"Bang——"
Madam Lu put the teacup in her hand back on the table without any hesitation.
"How can I read it?! Don't I love that girl enough? Haven't the Lu family taken care of the Xue family enough in the business world over the years? Didn't Jinzhou keep this matter secret out of consideration for the relationship between the two families? What about you?"
Madam Lu looked at Xue Pingwei leisurely with a stern look.
"Helping Shen Wanqing buy negative search results to discredit my Lu family's granddaughter-in-law? Where did you put your feelings? Do you really think no one knows about the shit you did?!"
This sentence contained a lot of information, not only Shen Nianchu was shocked, but even the other people in the Lu family were stunned.
Ever since Lu Jinzhou and Shen Nianchu got together, Mrs. Lu has never acknowledged Shen Nianchu. Now she says in front of the Xue family that Shen Nianchu is her grandson's daughter-in-law. It seems that she is really repentant.
Mr. Lu's expression softened a bit. He picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and commented, "You're not senile."
Mrs. Lu glared at him and continued, "I didn't intend to let you come, but I feel that some things still need to be explained to you younger generations. Jinzhou has given you face once before, but it is important to know when to stop.
I don't care whether you are obsessed with seeking revenge for your daughter or not, since you helped Shen Wanqing do that, you should consider whether you can afford the consequences. "
"Also, the relationship between the Lu and Xue families wasn't lost on me, but it was your Xue family who severed it. We, the Lu family, didn't blame your Xue family for the Xue Shuyi incident, which was already a generous gesture! How dare you harm others?!
Since that's the case, let me be frank. From now on, there will be no more friendship between the Lu and Xue families. The Xue family is in this predicament, you brought it upon yourselves. If you still have any dignity, don't come to us again."
Xue Pingwei was anxious, but Mrs. Lu didn't listen to what he said at all and directly asked the housekeeper to kick the man out.
The other people in the Lu family originally thought that the old lady asked people to come in because she wanted to help others out of unnecessary favors, but it was quite surprising that she did this.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became less tense. Lu Xingzhou glanced at Lu Jinzhou's indifferent expression.
"Grandma, this is the first time in these months that I feel like you're still the same grandma I used to know."
Madam Lu glared at him unhappily, "Even though I'm old, I understand the principle of admitting mistakes and correcting them, and I can still turn back from my mistakes."
Then she looked at Shen Nianchu again, "Nianchu, today grandma will apologize to you in front of the whole family. I was really confused and made a mistake in the previous incident. If you put it in my shoes, I'm afraid I will never be able to forgive you in this life... I'm really sorry, I was wrong. If you want, call me grandma in the future and give me a chance to make up for my mistakes, okay?"
His attitude was very humble, at least it was something that no one present had ever seen before, not to mention that there were several servants around.
It was a very serious apology, and Shen Nianchu was a little touched. After all, since she came today, she also wanted to put aside the past grudges.
Lu Jinzhou sat on the other side of Shen Nianchu and whispered in her ear, "Do you want to leave?"
He didn't want her to feel any discomfort.
Shen Nianchu gave a soothing look, shook her head, and then looked at the old lady, "Okay, grandma."
Mrs. Lu's eyes were red and she kept nodding her head, "Hey!"
Seeing this, Lu Jinzhou spoke slowly, "Don't just promise grandma, but don't even pay her for changing her mind. Are you trying to get something for nothing?"
This was the first time in more than three months that Lu Jinzhou was willing to call her grandma. The old lady was naturally happy and turned to the servant next to her, "Bring me the things I prepared."
The old lady opened the rosewood box and saw the priceless jade bracelet passed down from the Lu family lying inside. Lu Jinzhou raised his eyebrows.
He leaned close to Shen Nianchu’s ear again: “The symbol of the Lu family’s mistress, it seems that the old lady is really repentant.”
