City A, First People's Hospital.
Mr. Lu was listening to his assistant's work report outside the ward.
Lu Jinghe was lying on the hospital bed, still unconscious due to the anesthetic. His mother held her son's hand and cried non-stop, crying and shouting: "My poor son, how could you become like this just after school started today? Who hurt you~"
Jiang Qiao was watching from the side with a gloomy expression.
To be honest, Mother Lu looks like a shrew and has no sense of family. But it's also true that if the Jiang family hadn't supported her over the years, the Lu family would have declined long ago.
Since two years ago, the Jiang family has been helping to make up for the losses of the Lu Group.
Jiang's father didn't want his daughter to marry into the Lu family because the Lu family was too low-class, so he gave all the cooperation, big and small, to the Lu family and gave them a lot of profits. Unexpectedly, this aggravated the Lu family's appetite and eventually caused the Jiang family to be destroyed.
Father Lu came in, looked at Jiang Qiao, and then saw Mother Lu's howling face. He was furious and scolded her: "Look at what you've done. Stop crying. You're making fun of yourself and embarrassing yourself."
Mother Lu was already feeling bad, and when Father Lu scolded her, her tone wasn't much better: "Our son hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said he has a concussion. If you, as a father, aren't you worried, shouldn't I, as a mother, be worried too?"
"Don't talk nonsense. We only have this one son. How could I not be worried?"
Mother Lu might have been genuinely frightened by her son today, and she blurted out, "Don't talk nonsense here. A son? I think those little vixens out there have seduced you. Don't think I don't know that you brought home an illegitimate child a while ago and hid him secretly. I'm telling you, as long as I, Hu Yanfang, am here, everything in the Lu Corporation belongs to Jinghe, and don't even think about letting anyone else have a share."
Jiang Qiao: [Wuhu ~ exciting.]
System: [Stimulation.]
At this moment, outsiders were still there. Father Lu didn't expect Mother Lu to be so aggressive. He went up and slapped her: "Are you crazy? You are suspicious every day. I think you should pack up and go back to your parents' home!"
"Snap"
There was a crisp sound, which showed how much strength Mr. Lu used. Hu Yanfang's left cheek swelled up instantly.
"Ah, you dare to hit me and want me to go back to my parents' home. Do you want Jinghe and I to make room for that little bitch? I'll scratch you to death." As she said that, Hu Yanfang stretched out her hand towards Lu Changhai's face.
Lu Changhai pushed Hu Yanfang away and asked, "Believe it or not, I want to divorce you?"
Hu Yanfang fell to the ground. The word "divorce" seemed to sting her ears and she began to cry loudly.
Jiang Qiao: [Wangcai, where is Liang Wan?]
System: […Taking the elevator, almost there.]
Jiang Qiao had seen enough and felt it was time to act. He frowned slightly and sobbed softly, "Wuwuwu, uncle and aunt, it was my fault that brother Jinghe fell down the stairs today. I pushed him accidentally. Wuwuwu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
She just wanted to make her words unclear and make Lu's mother angry.
When Mother Lu heard Jiang Qiao say this, she was immediately furious. If Jing He was fine today, she wouldn't be so embarrassed. Thinking of this, she stood up and pointed at Jiang Qiao's nose and scolded: "It's all your fault, you little bitch. You have a seductive face and you've already started to harm Jing He before you even married into my family."
Hu Yanfang had long disliked Jiang Qiao. Since she was a child, she felt that Jiang Qiao was too beautiful and many boys admired her. She thought that such a woman was not suitable to be married home and would bring disgrace to the family. If it weren't for the Jiang family's power, she would have asked Lu Jinghe to cancel the engagement long ago.
Father Lu didn't dare to offend the Jiang family yet. Even if he was dissatisfied with Jiang Qiao, he couldn't show it. He would have to rely on Jiang Qiao to suck the Jiang family's money in the future. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
After saying this to Hu Yanfang symbolically, she apologized to Jiang Qiao again: "Qiao Qiao, don't take your aunt's words to heart. She was irritated by Jinghe's behavior today."
Lu Changhai just said this casually to comfort her. He knew that Jiang Qiao was on the side of the Lu family and really liked Lu Jinghe, so she would not go home and talk nonsense to Jiang's father and mother.
Jiang Qiao felt sick after hearing what Lu's father and mother said. If you don't like me, just cancel the engagement. You are just greedy for wealth and being a slut. But she couldn't show anything and could only cry and say it was her fault.
She knew that when Lu's mother scolded her just now, Liang Wan was already standing at the door. Jiang Qiao wanted to cancel the engagement, and she was being pointed at and scolded by the Lu family. If Liang Wan knew about it, she would definitely reconsider the engagement.
When Jiang Qiao saw that Liang Wan didn't come in directly, he guessed that she wanted to see what kind of people were behind the Lu family.
At this time, Liang Wan, who was standing outside the door, had already heard what Lu Changhai and Hu Yanfang said. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. It turned out that this was how the Lu family treated Qiao Qiao when they were not around. She kicked the door open.
"Bang~" The door was suddenly kicked open.
Lu Changhai and Hu Yanfang were both startled. They looked towards the door and found that it was Liang Wan. Her face did not look good and turned pale. Hu Yanfang quickly withdrew her hand that was pointing at Jiang Qiao.
Seeing Liang Wan's gloomy face, Lu Changhai knew that she had heard everything they had just said. He quickly explained: "The in-laws are here. It was my wife who was too emotional just now and frightened Qiao Qiao. Don't worry about it."
Hu Yanfang became cautious at this moment, and she lost her previous arrogance. She stood in the corner without saying a word. She knew how much the Jiang family valued Jiang Qiao, and she didn't dare to say anything at first, but today she was so angry that she said everything in her heart.
The engagement between Jiang Qiao and Lu Jinghe was arranged by the elders of the previous generation of the family. Everyone in the Lu family knew that if it were not for this reason, the Jiang family would never arrange Jiang Qiao's marriage with their own small family.
The Jiang family's support over the years has made the Lu family prosperous, and Jiang Qiao just happened to like Lu Jinghe so much, which gradually made people in the Lu family think that they could step on the Jiang family.
Liang Wan had always looked down on the Lu family, and now she was even more dissatisfied. Her daughter, whom she had cherished since childhood, was being treated so humiliatingly here.
"Hu Yanfang, so my Qiao Qiao is so unbearable in your eyes. In that case, let's cancel the engagement between the two families. You are not a good match to begin with, and we, the Jiang family, are not able to marry you. Also, I, Liang Wan, remember what you said today. Qiao Qiao, let's go." After saying that, she pulled Jiang Qiao and was about to leave.
[Ding Dong~ The system reminds you that the hidden mission progress has reached 25%. I hope the host will continue to work hard.]
Of course, Lu Changhai could understand what Liang Wan meant by "equally matched", and his face turned a little dark, but he became anxious when he heard that the engagement was to be cancelled. He couldn't let this marriage go.
"Mother-in-law, wait, this is all a misunderstanding. We really like Qiao Qiao, so you can't just cancel the engagement!"
Seeing Liang Wan was about to leave, Lu Changhai pulled Hu Yanfang, who was still lost in thought, over and said, "Hurry up and apologize to your mother-in-law. I shouldn't have let you come today."
