Guan Qingchen and Li Jianshan knew Lu Xingquan somewhat, having done business with him. As juniors, they respectfully addressed him as "Second Uncle Lu" and "Mrs. Lu".
Jiang Si sat back on the sofa and gently raised her hand, "Please sit down, both of you."
From beginning to end, he maintained an attitude of superiority.
"I wonder what brings you two here?" Jiang Si asked coldly.
Guan Qingchen did know some inside information, though not all of it, such as the person in front of her might be a relative of Master Jiang.
However, since the truth of what happened back then is unknown, it's not appropriate to comment.
He pulled Li Jianshan aside, and they each carried a cup of tea as they went up to him.
Lu Xingquan was secretly surprised. Guan Qingchen and Li Jianshan were not ordinary people, yet they were acting as juniors in Jiang Si's family.
He couldn't help but change his opinion of the woman in front of him.
Perhaps they really do have some skills.
Jiang Si rolled her eyes inwardly.
Lu Xingquan put down his tea. "To be honest, Master Jiang, we have indeed come here with a request."
Jiang Si didn't say anything.
Ruan Qiao wiped away her tears and looked up at Jiang Si with red eyes: "Master Jiang, please, you must save my daughter."
"She's so young, we don't know why this happened."
Jiang Si understood.
They really came for Lu Bier.
When she returned, she noticed that Lu Bier had a faint dark aura around her. However, everyone has their ups and downs, and she didn't have a good impression of Lu Bier, so she didn't look closely and thought it was just bad luck.
However, things now seem to be different.
"I'm sorry, I probably can't help you," Jiang Si coldly refused.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Qiao cried even more bitterly, almost kneeling before Jiang Si, but Jiang Si strongly supported her. "I beg you, please help her."
Lu Xingquan said, "Master Jiang, whatever conditions you propose, we can agree to them."
Jiang Si remained indifferent, unmoved by Ruan Qiao's crying. She curled the corners of her lips and said, "I've already said, there's nothing I can do."
"I've heard that Master Jiang is a kind-hearted person. Is there something the Lu family did that displeased you?"
Lu Xingquan was a businessman, and businessmen don't fight unprepared battles. Before coming, he thoroughly researched Jiang Si's deeds.
Jiang Si is a warm-hearted person by all accounts, and she is also very clear about who she loves and who loves whom. Now that she has rejected them so decisively, he can't think of any other reason besides the fact that the Lu family has offended Jiang Si in the past.
Even if she returns to her original body, the original body's imprint is still firmly branded on Jiang Si.
Looking at the hypocritical family before him, he couldn't help but sneer, "Want to save her? Are you willing to give up all your wealth? Are you willing to trade your life for hers?"
Ruan Qiao stared at Jiang Si for a while, then suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Si, "I am willing to give my life for hers, I only beg Master Jiang to save her life."
Just as Ruan Qiao knelt down, the once clear sky suddenly turned into a gathering of dark clouds, and a few rumbles of thunder could be heard.
Jiang Si looked out the window, blinked silently, and at this moment, the original owner's pain was amplified to the maximum in her heart.
Why should she be grateful to someone who abandoned her?
Is it because of the suffering of ten months of pregnancy?
The way of Heaven is truly "fair".
Jiang Si quickly composed herself and looked at Ruan Qiao: "I can save her, but you must announce to heaven and earth that my relationship with you and your mother has long been severed, and from now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
After announcing it to heaven and earth, that pitiful blood relation will no longer affect her.
Jiang Si's words shocked everyone.
Ruan Qiao looked at her in disbelief, her voice trembling with excitement: "You...you are?"
Lu Xingquan rarely showed a surprised expression, "You are Fen'er?"
Guan Qingchen and Han Yunluo already knew they were related by blood, but they just didn't expect it to be this dramatic.
Upon hearing this, Li Jianshan pinched Guan Qingchen hard: "Did I hear that right? My master is the daughter of the Lu family? What's going on?"
Guan Qingchen withdrew her hand and said with disdain, "Look at you, so what if our master's background is a little unusual?"
Jiang Si smiled. "My name is now Jiang Si. Please call me by that name."
The implication was that she acknowledged that Lu Fen'er was indeed Lu Fen'er.
The daughter of the Lu family who disappeared more than a decade ago.
Ruan Qiao raised her hands to her chest, wanting to walk forward but not moving, tears glistening in her eyes, shaking her head: "This is impossible, are you really Fen'er?"
Jiang Si took a deep breath. "I'm not here to acknowledge you as relatives; I'm here to sever ties with you."
“Mrs. Lu,” Jiang Si said, “there is thunder outside. If you declare to heaven and earth that we are no longer mother and daughter, I will save your precious daughter, Lu Bi’er.”
"We need to hurry," Jiang Si said, sitting back on the sofa. "If we delay any longer, even a miracle won't save us."
Ruan Qiao covered her face and cried, "Fan'er, don't force your mother."
She hadn't expected to face such a difficult choice today.
Lu Xingquan patted her back gently to comfort her, then turned to look at Jiang Si.
Looking closely, this face does indeed resemble the older brother's.
No, to be precise, Jiang Si's face does resemble that of his grandmother who passed away early.
“It was an accident back then, you shouldn’t be pressuring your mother like this.”
Jiang Si raised her eyes and looked coldly at Lu Xingquan. After a long while, she held back her anger: "Abandoning is abandoning. Don't try to morally blackmail me. Is a child who has been lost for more than ten or twenty years more valuable than the precious darling I have raised by my side?"
"Just pretend I'm dead."
Jiang Si lowered her head, gently stroking her fingers: "Hurry up and think about it, or it will be too late."
"Do you know what kind of suffering Lu Bier is going through?" Jiang Si continued to stab them in the heart, as if the fire wasn't burning hot enough: "Her internal organs are being roasted, which is why she has a persistent high fever and organ failure. Are you sure you want her to suffer like this again?"
"Stop talking," Ruan Qiao cried uncontrollably. After a long while, she seemed to have made a decision and looked at Jiang Si with teary eyes: "Tell me, how do you want to sever the mother-daughter relationship?"
"Should I issue a statement or announcement immediately?"
Jiang Si scoffed, "Why didn't you just do this earlier? Why put on such an act?"
“I have my own rules here,” Jiang Si said, taking three incense sticks from in front of a statue in the hall. With a flick of her wrist, she lit the incense and handed them to Ruan Qiao. “Just stick these three incense sticks in the open space in the courtyard.”
"When you light the incense, tell heaven and earth that from now on we will sever our past ties and never be reborn."
Ruan Qiao held the three incense sticks, feeling as if they weighed a thousand pounds.
"Don't think about keeping quiet; you can't deceive the will of Heaven," Jiang Si reminded him.
Ruan Qiao glanced at Jiang Si again, then turned and walked out.
Jiang Si watched her retreating figure for less than a second before turning back. She then lit three incense sticks and followed her out.
Outside, the thunder rumbled louder.
