Many people thought that the Lu family had fallen from grace.
At this point, she abruptly changed the subject, straightened her back, and said in a firm and powerful voice, "But they were wrong. I made some preparations in advance and set aside some assets for my son so that he would have working capital if he wanted to start a company in the future."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly became excited.
Grabbing Ruoshui's hand tightly, her voice trembled slightly: "Really? Mom, how much of your inheritance did you leave behind?"
Zhang Ruoshui glanced at him, a mischievous glint in her eyes, and slowly extended five fingers.
Lu Qingzhou's breath hitched, and she instinctively gripped her mother's hand, exclaiming with a mixture of surprise and joy, "Fifty million?"
Zhang Ruoshui curled her lips, with a hint of reproach: "Son, your vision is too narrow."
Lu Qingzhou felt his heart pounding like thunder, and even his breathing became rapid: "Five...five hundred million?"
Zhang Ruoshui nodded in satisfaction.
Mu Shaohua and Su Qingyao, who were standing to the side, were also shocked. They never imagined that their mother-in-law, who usually kept a low profile, would have such a large fortune.
Upon receiving her mother's confirmation, Lu Qingzhou was stunned, her face filled with disbelief: "Mom, if we have so much money, why have we lived such a miserable life these past few years?"
Zhang Ruoshui sighed softly and raised her hand to rub her temples.
He said helplessly, "Are you stupid? Think about it, when the Lu family went bankrupt, it was a huge hole that could never be filled. Throwing this little bit of money in wouldn't even make a sound."
Besides, if we had taken out that money back then, given our situation at the time, we wouldn't have been able to keep it at all.
Most importantly, I've taken special measures to ensure that this money can only be cashed out at a specific time.
In another week, the money will be available for withdrawal. I was originally worried about how to best manage this money, but now that I have two wives like you, things are much easier.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and upon careful consideration, they realized it was indeed true.
If the already bankrupt Lu family were to suddenly produce such a large sum of money, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
"This is the current cash situation. Also, Xiao Su mentioned to me yesterday that she wants to buy a big house so that we can all move in together."
"What a coincidence! I happen to own an old house; with a little maneuvering, I can move in smoothly."
Lu Qingzhou was stunned, her face full of disbelief: "You have another house? Why didn't you tell me before?"
Zhang Ruoshui gently patted Lu Qingzhou, her tone a mix of indulgence and helplessness: "Don't be so easily startled. You were young and impetuous back then. If I had told you, who knows what trouble you would have caused. You needed to be tempered."
Lu Qingzhou rubbed his face hard with both hands, feeling a mix of emotions: "So all the hardships and suffering I endured before were tests for me."
Zhang Ruoshui looked at her son with heartache in her eyes.
She knew her son had suffered a lot over the years, and could only smile awkwardly: "Actually, suffering a little back then wasn't so bad."
After all, I don't have the money, and I've tampered with the house; it won't be ready until the appointed time. If you don't want to suffer, then you can just wait to starve to death.
Lu Qingzhou remained silent for a while, then realized that what her mother said made sense, so she stopped arguing.
Mu Shaohua heard that Su Qingyao had come here yesterday and even secretly discussed buying a house with her mother-in-law.
He cursed inwardly, thinking, "That Su Qingyao is such a cunning woman! She's actually trying to please my mother-in-law behind my back!"
They had just reached a verbal agreement yesterday, and this woman immediately started devising ways to sabotage her. Thinking about it instantly filled me with annoyance.
Su Qingyao keenly sensed a cold gaze coming from beside her. Turning her head, she met Mu Shaohua's hostile eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat, as if someone had stepped on her tail.
But she quickly forced herself to calm down and regain her composure.
I pretended to be nonchalant, but my heart was involuntarily racing.
Su Qingyao looked at Zhang Ruoshui with a gentle smile and said, "Mom, now that the house has been arranged, let's find some time to get things sorted out and try to move in as soon as possible."
Mu Shaohua rolled her eyes at Su Qingyao's impatient look.
She knew all too well what this woman was up to; she just wanted to use her mother-in-law to break their agreement.
I never expected this to happen; I was so careless. I never thought she would outsmart me.
Thinking of this, Mu Shaohua was filled with indignation.
Zhang Ruoshui nodded slightly and then said, "Xiao Su and Xiao Mu will have to work hard on this, since it's not appropriate for Xiao Lu and me to get involved."
Mu Shaohua and Su Qingyao nodded obediently at the same time and said in unison, "Mom, we know what to do."
Zhang Ruoshui coughed lightly, cleared her throat, and then continued, "Tonight's dinner can be considered a family dinner. Now let's have a small family meeting. I'll preside over it. Son, you don't mind, do you?"
Lu Qingzhou was still reeling from the barrage of information her mother had dropped.
It wasn't until Mu Shaohua gently nudged him that he snapped out of his daze, his face immediately beaming with a smile as he replied, "Sure, Mom is the most important person in the world, so how could I possibly object to you hosting? Just say it, we're all listening."
Seeing Lu Qingzhou's exaggerated expression, the others couldn't help but shake their heads and chuckle.
Hearing that they were going to have a family meeting, Leng Yue, who was standing to the side, immediately felt uncomfortable.
I felt like an outsider, and this kind of occasion didn't seem suitable for me to participate.
She glanced at the group of people blankly, and said cautiously, "Um, should I leave for a moment?"
