Su Yuxi immediately objected. Talk is talk, but how could you call her brainless?
I really want to slap him.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and sent the message to Lu Yunzhou.
Calling her stupid would cost at least 200,000 yuan, otherwise it wouldn't quell her anger. If she really gets angry, there's no guarantee what she might do.
Seeing the resentment written all over her pretty face, Lu's mother felt a deep disdain for her.
She had long seen through Su Yuxi's true nature—a materialistic woman who pursued wealth. No matter what she said, as long as Su Yuxi wanted to enter the Lu family, she could only silently endure it and dared not utter a single word of rebuttal. Therefore, there was no need to give her any face at all.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, you also need to be aware of the crisis. Stop thinking about Yunzhou's money all the time, and keep a closer eye on the women outside, so as not to embarrass the Lu family."
Su Yuxi rolled her eyes at her in her heart. With a son like that, if you don't covet his money, do you think you're after him?
She's not blind.
Besides, didn't this old woman dislike and disapprove of her? Why is she unhappy now that her son is changing her daughter-in-law?
She thought this in her heart, and she asked this question.
Lu's mother choked, her disdain evident in her eyes. From the moment she saw Jiang Shiqian at the banquet last night, and the way her son had taken such good care of her, she knew that her son still harbored feelings for Jiang Shiqian.
At first, I thought it was alright. Finally, someone could get rid of Su Yuxi. If she wasn't driven away, she would squander all of my son's money sooner or later.
But after that farce, she immediately ordered people to investigate Jiang Shiqian's situation abroad.
You wouldn't believe it until you looked it up, and what you found was quite shocking.
The Jiang family has not been doing well abroad in recent years.
When the Jiang family fell into ruin, they still had some assets left during the liquidation. They originally planned to make a comeback abroad, but fate seemed to be playing a joke on them. Every time their business was slightly on the rise, something would inexplicably happen, and various fines would follow.
After several attempts, they ultimately went bankrupt, leaving behind nothing but a mountain of debt.
Jiang Shiqian also ruined her stomach during that period.
She watched this child grow up from a young age, and she felt sorry for her. If she had just come back to focus on getting better and living a normal life, she wouldn't have interfered. But now that she's trying to take advantage of her own son, then sorry, no amount of affection will help.
She can't argue with her son anymore, otherwise the little bit of mother-son affection she has left will really be destroyed by the quarrel.
So I called Lu Yuxi over today, hoping she could persuade Yunzhou to stop meddling in Jiang Shiqian's affairs and to win him back.
But this woman wasn't worried at all. She didn't fight or compete, and even spoke well of others. I really don't know what Yunzhou saw in her.
"What do you know? I let you stay with my son so you can take care of him, not so he can take care of others." In her eyes, Lu Yuxi was nothing more than a competent nanny. If she wasn't even that useful, she should just disappear as soon as possible.
"I'll send a few caregivers to Jiang Shiqian's place. As for Yunzhou, go and talk to him, tell him to focus on his work and not waste his time on these pointless things."
"And you should also take better care of his health. I don't know how you've been taking care of him lately. Last night I saw that he had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard..."
Su Yuxi listened to Lu's mother's rambling on and on, letting it go in one ear and out the other. She knew it was impossible for her to say anything. She hoped that Lu Yunzhou could hold out a little longer, give her more money, and then tell her about breaking up.
Lu Yuxi looked down at the messages she had sent on her phone. There was no reply from the other end. In the past, when she came back, Lu Yunzhou would usually come and take her away within half an hour. Now, after listening to her mother nagging for half an hour, he didn't say anything about coming to take her away, and he didn't even reply with a single word.
She sighed silently to herself.
"Are you even listening to me?" Su Yuxi was brought back to her senses by the reprimand.
He looked up and met Lu's mother's displeased gaze.
Su Yuxi, also annoyed, unconsciously raised her voice: "I know."
Seeing that Lu's mother was about to continue, Su Yuxi changed her expression: "Auntie, the food has been reheated several times. You should eat first. Something happened to Qianqian, and I have to go over there."
If that man doesn't come to her rescue, she has no choice but to find a way to escape on her own.
Lu's mother was hoarse from talking, so she picked up her cup and drank half a cup of water. Thinking that she had said enough, she waved to Wang Ma, who was not far away. Wang Ma understood and took a card out of her pocket and handed it to her.
Su Yuxi took it blankly, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes: "What does this mean?"
If a man gives her money, she takes it without hesitation. Why would an old woman give her money?
What's the meaning?
She doesn't think she's that kind.
If a woman who has always disliked you suddenly becomes very kind to you, she must have something ulterior motive.
“Miss Su, this is because Madam knows you’ve worked hard taking care of Young Master Yunzhou. Here’s five million as a subsidy for you. Please continue to take good care of Young Master Yunzhou’s health. If he needs anything, just let me know.”
Su Yuxi clicked her tongue inwardly, a smile playing on her lips as she uttered her refusal, but the force of her refusal was extremely weak: "This...it's probably not necessary. Taking care of Yunzhou is my duty..."
“Miss Su, Madam doesn’t like being refused.” Wang Ma interrupted her with a smile, shoving the card in her hand into her hand, making it impossible for her to refuse.
In the end, she accepted the money.
Taking care of Lu Yunzhou is just a side job, so why not take five million? Although it can't be counted in the 10 billion, it can be used to treat Qianqian to a meal and buy her clothes.
One person gave money, and the other received money; everyone was very happy.
Su Yuxi was brought out in a daze, but a gentle breeze cleared her head completely.
Looking at the empty road, she realized she hadn't driven. Turning around, she saw the gate behind her was already closed.
There's no village or shop in sight, and there aren't any taxis at all. If you call a ride-hailing service, it'll have to make a special trip, and it's nighttime now... Looking at the 500 yuan fare, she cursed inwardly.
That dead ghost is so expensive, it's practically taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
In order to save 500 yuan, she decided to hike down the mountain.
The night air was cool, and Su Yuxi rubbed her arms as she walked downstairs.

"Madam, are you really going to let Miss Su continue down this path? What if something happens? It will be difficult to explain to the young master."
In the living room, Lu's mother ate her food slowly and deliberately, her expression indifferent: "What does this have to do with me? She didn't say she wanted a car."
In her eyes, neither Jiang Shiqian nor Lu Yuxi were qualified to be her daughter-in-law.
I brought her here today just to give her a warning, to make her take action, to fight, to cause trouble, and ideally, to make both sides suffer.
As a result, she couldn't get the hang of it for a long time.
Or perhaps she cared, but chose to endure it for the sake of money.
