Lu Yanzhi didn't expect that her sister-in-law, who rarely called her, would call her during such a festive occasion.
She and Zhang Xiuying accompanied Luo Jianguo to undergo hemodialysis at the Luo family's ancestral home. After hesitating for a moment, she swiped the answer button on the phone screen and turned on the hands-free function.
Under Zhang Xiuying's gaze, Lu Yanzhi smiled and said to the phone, "Hello, sister-in-law is so busy, how come you have time to call me today?"
Chen Xirong was angry, and the relationship between the sisters-in-law was not harmonious. When she heard Lu Yanzhi's words, they were naturally filled with an inexplicable sarcastic tone.
She said angrily, "Everyone is as free as you. Do all the people in the Luo family have to keep their mouths shut and eat the northwest wind?"
Lu Yanzhi was criticized for no reason, but she didn't get angry. She continued with a smile and said, "Uncle and sister-in-law are the direct descendants of our Luo family, so naturally they have to bear more burdens. The rest of us have nothing to do, so we can only stay at home every day to accompany the elderly."
Chen Xirong had no intention of talking nonsense with Lu Yanzhi, and immediately got straight to the point: "Did you order the incident at the gate of Shanzhong High School? You can't cause trouble for others even if you have nothing to do. Just get them to withdraw!" Her tone left no room for doubt.
When Lu Yanzhi heard Chen Xirong talking about what happened at the gate of Shanzhong High School, a smile appeared on her lips.
She leaned slightly to the side, allowing Zhang Xiuying to see only her profile, and feigned surprise, "Sister-in-law, when did Shanzhong High School become part of our Luo family's business? I didn't expect you and Uncle to be so secretive, not even informing our ancestral home of such a major event. This is truly like a flood flushing out the Dragon King Temple. But don't worry, I'll have someone evacuated right away!"
Zhang Xiuying snorted coldly when she heard what Lu Yanzhi said. She knew that what Lu Yanzhi said was pure nonsense. The reason why Chen Xiurong called Lu Yanzhi could only be because of Luo Qi, who had been kicked out of the house.
Zhang Xiuying immediately felt dissatisfied with Chen Xirong. "Humph! My father-in-law is almost dying of illness, and this shameless woman is still protecting that outsider!"
Chen Xirong was a little surprised when she heard what Lu Yanzhi said. When did she say that Shanzhong High School had become the property of the Luo family?
She said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, how could Shanzhong High School become a Luo family property?"
"Oh! Sister-in-law, this is where you're wrong. You didn't explain yourself clearly, and I was so happy for nothing. I thought you were so anxious because you were worried about the damage to the reputation of Shanzhong High School." Lu Yanzhi really spoke in a sarcastic tone this time. She had seen her mother-in-law's face turn ugly, and she couldn't help feeling proud.
Chen Xirong was furious at Lu Yanzhi's words. Could she be blamed for not saying the whole story? It was obviously Lu Yanzhi who liked to make random assumptions, okay!
"Lv Yanzhi, could you please stop rambling? I've been talking to you for so long. Are you going to remove those people?" Chen Xirong was already getting impatient. "Do you know that the school is going to punish Xiaoxin for causing trouble there?"
Hearing that Chen Xirong had finally lost her patience, Lu Yanzhi was delighted but also puzzled. She couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, this matter has nothing to do with Chao Xin. Why would the school punish him? No matter how powerful the school is, they can't do this!"
The more she thought about it, the more strange it seemed to her. She added, "Besides, our Luo family is not one that can be bullied. The school dares to threaten Chao Xin, which means they don't take our Luo family seriously. We can't give in, otherwise the school will think our Luo family is easy to bully. Will our children still go to Shanzhong High School in the future?"
"Why are you talking about something else again?" Chen Xirong couldn't help but complain when she heard Lu Yanzhi extend the topic to other aspects.
Under normal circumstances, the Luo family naturally does not have to give in for Shanzhong High School, but Luo Chaoxin did something stupid recently. The school has video footage as evidence, which means that Chen Xirong's family is being strangled by the school. How can they be tough with the school?
If Shanzhong High School got upset, they would return the 5 million yuan donated and insist on expelling Luo Chaoxin. Not only would Luo Chaoxin be unable to take the college entrance examination for a short period of time, but the Luo family would also lose face. This would not allow Chen Xirong to compromise.
She asked again in a firm tone, "Can you please withdraw the people?"
"No!" Seeing her mother-in-law Zhang Xiuying gritting her teeth, Lu Yanzhi refused without showing any weakness.
"You!" Chen Xiurong was so shocked by Lu Yanzhi's change of attitude that she almost fainted. She angrily scolded, "You're trying to get Xiaoxin expelled from school! You're so cruel!"
"I think you're the one with the most cruel heart!" Zhang Xiuying snatched the phone away without waiting for Lu Yanzhi to speak, cursing loudly, "That wild kid who grew up in the countryside is still the eldest grandson of the Luo family. How could Shanzhong High School expel him? Don't they need to give our Luo family face?"
Chen Xiurong suddenly heard her mother-in-law's voice and immediately knew that she had been tricked by Lu Yanzhi again. She was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Hearing her mother-in-law scolding her precious son again as a wild boy who grew up in the countryside was like Zhang Xiuying touching her reverse scale. Chen Xirong could hardly control her hot temper.
Zhang Xiuying on the other end of the phone was still scolding: "You called me, you should know why they sent people to cause trouble today, but you didn't say a word. In your heart, is your father-in-law's life more important, or that wild boy's crying? If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be..."
Chen Xirong finally lost control and forced herself to interrupt, "How can Xiaoxin be a wild boy? If he is a wild boy, then what is his father? And what are his grandparents?"
Zhang Xiuying was getting into the groove of her scolding when she was ruthlessly interrupted by Chen Xirong. Not only that, Chen Xirong also followed up on her words and scolded her back, making Zhang Xiuying so angry that she almost "exploded" on the spot.
How could Chen Xirong allow Zhang Xiuying to scold her? She was born into the Chen family, a prominent family in Shanghai, and she had never been afraid of her mother-in-law since the first day she married into the Luo family.
Over the years, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become increasingly worse. Now that Zhang Xiuying has retired and has lost much power, Chen Xiurong has become even more powerful.
If Luo Xionghua hadn't been there, Chen Xirong would have ignored her mother-in-law completely.
"Chen Xirong, do you have any brains?" Zhang Xiuying felt her blood pressure rising and her heartbeat accelerating. She quickly took out a small medicine bottle from her pocket and swallowed a few pills to calm her down.
Holding a heart pill under her tongue, she spoke unsteadily, "A young lady from a gangster family is always poorly educated. She has no idea what filial piety is! The children she raised are all useless. How can they inherit the Luo family business in the future?"
Chen Xirong felt dizzy when she heard Zhang Xiuying bring up her ancestors again, calling her uneducated and even calling her precious son useless. She quickly swallowed a few blood pressure pills to lower her blood pressure.
