Seeing Su Lin's hesitant expression.
Ning You knew perfectly well what kind of people her parents were.
She pressed on, "Have you considered customer feedback in the market? Have you compared the price differences between various brands? Have you drafted contracts regarding product plans, market value, and design concepts, Dad?"
Su Lin remained silent.
His eyes darted away, avoiding Ning You's gaze.
"So there isn't, right?" Ning You coldly answered for her: "And as far as I know, Dad's quotes to Lu Chen are always several percentage points higher than those of his competitors."
Even Dai Shuying was stunned by these words.
It's understandable that there are rebates between distributors.
But as in-laws, they offered a price that was far higher than other dealers.
That's outrageous.
Su Lin's face turned bright red.
I don't know if it was from anger or embarrassment.
"I...I don't know anything about any of this..." Su Lin stammered, trying her best to distance herself from the situation: "Business matters are all decided by your father, I..."
"Businessmen do business for profit. They prioritize profit over relationships and responsibility over kinship. This is a matter of principle; how can you expect Lu Chen to help?"
Ning You's words were powerful and resonant.
"Are you going to have Lu Chen take out the entire Lu family to subsidize your Ning family?!"
Su Lin was startled on the road: "No, I didn't mean that..."
She looked at Dai Shuying again, wanting to explain.
But Dai Shuying turned her face away and refused to look at her.
Haven't they given the Ning family a lot of subsidies over the years?
All collaborations prioritize the Ning family. All profits are directed towards the Ning family.
Unexpectedly, the other party took advantage of their situation and treated them like fools.
Dai Shuying originally thought that Lu Chen's previous actions were not prudent.
But now it seems like a last resort, a desperate measure...
...
Seeing that she couldn't refute Ning You, Su Lin started to play the emotional card: "What happened before was our mistake... but Youyou, we are still your parents."
Ningyou felt a surge of disgust.
"Since Mom wants to talk to me about family again, let's talk about family matters."
Seeing Ning You's resolute expression, Su Lin felt a pang of panic.
She opened her mouth as if to stop her.
But then she heard Ning You ask her directly, "Wanwan is also your child, right? Then why can your mother so casually gloss over the pain Wanwan suffered?"
“She didn’t receive any attention, love, or care at home. What kind of life did she lead during the five years she ran away from home? When her mother saw Wanwan again, did she ever think about caring for her?”
It is said that family scandals should not be aired in public.
Su Lin always maintained the dignity of a noblewoman when she was out in public.
But now, in front of Dai Shuying, his own daughter has exposed his true colors.
She was both ashamed and angry: "That's all her own fault! Who told her to disobey!"
"And what about me? What fate awaits me for being obedient?"
Ning You stood up, becoming more and more agitated as she spoke: "She gave up her studies to marry, only to be used as a tool to exchange for money and power. And less than an hour after giving birth to An'an, she was a breeding machine, pressured to have a son!"
At this moment, Su Lin was rendered speechless.
Her eyes widened, and she said incredulously, "Youyou, how did you become like this? Weren't you always the most understanding of your parents' hardships?"
"Look at yourself now, you look exactly like Ning Wan!"
Upon hearing this, Ning You roared angrily, "Yes, we're sisters, of course we're the same. And I'm so glad I was able to find Wanwan again in this life, which gave me the courage to refuse!"
Su Lin was so angry that she trembled.
Without thinking, she raised her hand, about to slap Ning You across the face.
But Dai Shuying held it tightly in her hand.
Dai Shuying's eyes were cold as she warned in a low voice, "Mother-in-law, this is the Lu residence!"
Su Lin was both anxious and angry.
"Ning You!" she screamed shrilly, "No matter what, I'm still your mother!"
"Enough!"
A deep, resonant voice came from the second floor.
Everyone looked up at the sound.
The person standing at the top of the stairs was Lu Yan.
And Lu Chen, who was beside him, holding a child.
Lu Yan, leaning on his cane, slowly descended the stairs step by step: "In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen someone come to our door to argue during the New Year. Is my mother-in-law trying to ruin the Lu family's fortune and luck?"
Chinese people are extremely averse to such ominous signs.
Not to mention an elderly person like Lu Yan.
His face fell, becoming as serious as iron.
With each step he took down, his cane would first strike the ground heavily.
The "thump thump thump" sound sent shivers down Su Lin's spine.
"It's a misunderstanding... Mr. Lu, it's all a misunderstanding..."
Lu Yan frowned, his gaze cold.
Su Lin immediately fell silent in fright.
Lu Yan's gaze swept around the living room. After a brief glance at Ning You, he looked away.
Although it was only for a brief moment, it still made Ning You sweat profusely.
My heart jumped into my throat.
Ningyou doesn't go home often.
Although the Lu family was small, Dai Shuying was an easy person to get along with.
But as the only elder in the Lu family, Ning You was still afraid of Lu Yan from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing this, Lu Chen lowered his voice slightly and reminded the old man, "Grandpa, you've frightened Youyou."
Lu Yan: "..."
Is it because I'm naturally grumpy? ...
