"The money is in our hands, and we get to decide what to do with it," Lu Siqiao said coldly.
Her intuition told her that something was very strange.
It's one thing for Grandma Ruan to be deceived, but why was Lu Sirou also abandoned by Lu Dajun? All the talk about Lu Dajun's wife discovering their affair is nonsense.
With Fang Dingding protecting her, would Lu Dajun dare to lay a finger on her?
Even Lu Sidi got into big trouble, was fired from the company, and is now heavily in debt.
When she shared her guess, Luo Xiaoxue was so shocked she couldn't speak.
Instead, Third Master Lu squatted to the side, taking puffs of his cigarette, his wrinkles deepening: "When they arrive, I'll go back to City A with them and keep an eye on them to prevent them from causing trouble."
"Grandpa, you can't leave!" Lu Yutian was shocked and overwhelmed with grief. She leaned against Lu San's side. "We've finally been reunited. What will I do if you leave?"
He gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, then give the money to the second wife. As long as you, Grandpa, can stay."
She lost her grandfather in her previous life, and in this life, she must not repeat the same mistake.
"Silly girl, Grandpa is getting old. I'll return to my roots one day. Even without the second son's family, Grandpa will still leave." Third Master Lu patted her head. "The eldest son and his wife will take good care of you. Grandpa is very relieved."
“My hometown has changed a lot. My third brother called to say that the villagers have built new houses, running water is available, toilets have been built, and a new school has been built…”
The old man's deep, low voice shattered Lu Siqiao's hopes of keeping him.
Third Master Lu spent his entire life in the countryside, and his dependence on Lujiagou was ingrained in his very being, despite how much he loved it.
Luo Xiaoxue looked at Lu Siqiao and smiled kindly, "Qiaowa, technology is so advanced now, even City A has an airport. If you miss your grandfather, you can go back to see him anytime."
"You can still call Grandpa every day," Lu Sanye said with a smile. "Grandpa has recently learned to use a mobile phone, keeping up with the times."
With red eyes, Lu Siqiao threw herself into his arms.
Not long after, Lu Mingyuan and his family were brought to his home.
Even Huang Ling and her two daughters came, all looking dusty and dirty, but when they saw Lu Siqiao, a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes.
"Jova, you have to help us!"
"The creditor said that if we don't pay back the debt, they'll kill our whole family!"
They all talked at once, as if grasping at the last straw.
Luo Xiaoxue did the math and found that the second wife's family owed more than 500,000 yuan.
"Lu San, they are all Lu family flesh and blood, you can't abandon them!" Old Mrs. Ruan, her hair white and pale, pleaded with Lu San, "It was my madness that ruined the children!"
"We're divorced. The trouble you caused has nothing to do with me," said Third Master Lu coldly.
Old Mrs. Ruan was filled with remorse and cried, "Lu San, I really know I was wrong. Please, for the sake of me bearing your children, save us."
"Dad, you can't just abandon me!" Lu Mingyuan knelt before him, heartbroken, and said, "I will definitely work hard in the future and take care of you."
"Grandpa, please save your granddaughter!" Lu Sirou and her sister also clung to Lu Sanye's legs.
They all knew that if they could win over Third Master Lu, they could win over Lu Siqiao.
If there is anyone in this world who can cure Lu Siqiao, it is only this old man in front of her.
Master Lu stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze cold and indifferent: "It's not impossible for me to save you, but I have a condition—"
Lu Mingyuan didn't take it to heart. As long as it could help his family pay off their debts, he was willing to act like a grandson.
"Second son, promise me you'll leave the capital with the whole family. Then I'll have Qiaowa help you pay off your debts," Master Lu said firmly.
Lu Mingyuan's family was so shocked that their mouths were agape, and they didn't react for a long time.
It is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.
The prosperity and extravagance of the capital city are something they cannot give up.
"Father, what are you thinking? Where else can we go if we leave the capital?" Liu Yan leaned closer and asked with a smile.
Lu Sirou and the others hurriedly said, "Grandpa, we've finally integrated into this place. How can we go back to the small city? People will laugh at us if they find out."
Master Lu sneered: "Then get out of here and stop crying your eyes out."
"Brother, listen to what Father is saying. Why don't you try to persuade him?" Seeing that he was stubborn and wouldn't listen to advice, Lu Mingyuan looked to Lu Mingfeng for help.
Lu Mingfeng learned from Luo Xiaoxue about Lu Sanye's plans and Fang Dingding's intervention against them.
“If you weren’t greedy, how could you have been deceived? If you can be deceived once, you will be deceived twice, three times…” He paused, then said calmly, “I support what Father did. Second son, you take your family back to City A, and I will help you pay off your debts.”
Lu Mingyuan was shocked to find that they only wanted to drive them away. He angrily retorted, "You clearly can't stand to see us doing well. You call yourselves brothers, but even outsiders don't act like this."
"No, I won't leave, I want to stay here," Lu Sirou murmured to herself.
Lu Sidi also objected, saying, "Yes, I finally learned a skill, I don't want to go back to being a country bumpkin!"
Grandma Ruan turned her gaze to Lu Siqiao and pressed her, "Qiaowa, did you instigate your grandfather to force your second uncle's family to their deaths?"
Seeing that Third Master Lu was so angry that his veins were bulging, Lu Siqiao quickly patted his back.
"I did it." She raised her eyes, her gaze cold.
"The money is in my hands, can't I even make demands?" She slowly glanced at the person in front of her.
"Second Uncle, if you want to stay here, no problem. I guarantee you, you won't get a single penny. Not only that, you'll have to sleep on the streets, hide here and there, and if you're unlucky, you'll be killed by your creditors."
"Eldest sister, second sister, how many more twenty-year periods do you have left to squander your youth, become someone's mistress, sell your bodies, and gain a moment of vanity?"
"Grandma, you're old. When you're old, you should go home. Don't stay here and be taken advantage of."
She made sarcastic remarks one by one.
"Qiaowa, you're family, how can you look down on people like that!" Lu Sidi shouted angrily, "I'm able to establish myself in the capital because of my own abilities!"
Lu Siqiao stood in front of her and sneered: "Skills? If Liu Zheng hadn't been protecting you and deliberately giving you the green light, could you have gotten third place with your shady hairdressing skills? Wake up, he's been using you all along."
"Whether it's Liu Zheng or Lu Dajun, they're both Fang Dingding's lackeys. Now that Fang Dingding has spoken, she's going to do whatever it takes to bring you down." She laughed. "Do you think you can defeat Fang Dingding?"
"This time it's 500,000, next time it'll be 1 million, 2 million."
"Who's going to save you? I'm not a sucker, I have no obligation to do so."
As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of Lu Mingyuan's family changed drastically.
