Qin Lan's eyes widened, and for a moment, she almost couldn't hold back her smile.
Lu Huaijiao chuckled coldly, handed the basin to Gu Changzheng, and clapped her hands.
"What kind of bastard dares to call my name in front of my door?"
Qin Lan: ? ? ? ?
How did Lu Huaijiao become such a sharp-tongued girl?
Wasn't she always so naive and easily fooled?
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong? I'm your Aunt Qin..."
"Aunt Qin?"
Lu Huaijiao looked Qin Lan up and down, her eyes full of contempt.
"You, a beggar who was beaten homeless by your own parents and was about to starve to death before my mother kindly took you in, have the nerve to call yourself my aunt? Tsk tsk, you dog, how can you be so shameless?"
"Jiaojiao, what are you doing..."
"Oh, I forgot, you really have a thick skin. If you didn't, you wouldn't have been able to sleep with her husband and have a bastard child right after my mother passed away."
Lu Huaijiao has a truly vicious tongue.
Qin Lan was also angered by what Lu Huaijiao said.
"Huaijiao, I don't know who told you what, but I want you to hear my explanation..."
"Listen to your explanation? What right do you have to stand in front of me and talk to me? You think you're worthy to stand in front of me and talk to me?" Lu Huaijiao looked at Qin Lan with contempt, the light in her eyes making Qin Lan feel ashamed.
Qin Lan lowered her head, wanting to explain, but not knowing where to begin.
Zhu Guihua, who had washed the excrement off her face at a roadside tap, rushed over and started cursing at Lu Huaijiao.
"You little brat, this is a new society, don't act like a capitalist's daughter. Be careful, or I'll report you and have you paraded through the streets with a sign hanging over your head."
"Heh, go ahead and try, old woman, go and see if you can report it."
Lu Huaijiao wasn't afraid of that old hag Zhu Guihua at all.
Even if Gu Changzheng were by her side today, she would be fearless even if she were alone.
Zhu Guihua is shameless, and Qin Lan is even more shameless.
Oh, she remembered. Qin Lan's name was changed by her mother. What was Qin Lan's original name? Qin Yanhua?
"Qin Yanhua, if you know what's good for you, you'd better take your mother back right now. I'll have a lawyer settle our score with you slowly."
"If you don't know what's good for you, I don't mind letting the whole of Shanghai know how you and that bastard Lu Zhengde got together and how you had a child out of wedlock."
"Oh, I forgot to mention, your precious son is named Lu Huaiyu, right? That idiot, he actually dares to try and steal my family fortune? Qin Yanhua, you'd better keep a close eye on him when you get back, otherwise, if I get upset, he might just kick the bucket."
"You know what a 'hit' is, right? It's like this: eyes roll back, tongue sticks out, and you're dead."
Lu Huaijiao is not afraid when she threatens people.
Or rather, she dares to say that the word "fear" doesn't exist for her.
Qin Lan's face turned pale with anger at Lu Huaijiao's words, and Zhu Guihua grabbed her shoe, which was still covered in manure, and wanted to throw it at her again.
Lu Huaijiao gave her a cold glance.
"Try it! If you dare lay a hand on me again, I guarantee your grandson won't see the sun rise tomorrow!"
It's obvious that Lu Huaiyu is the lifeblood of both Qin Lan and Zhu Guihua.
Sure enough, when Lu Huaijiao mentioned Lu Huaiyu, the mother and daughter didn't dare to move. They could only glare at Lu Huaijiao with gritted teeth, as if they wanted to tear her to pieces with their eyes!
"Lu Huaijiao, you!"
“Lu Huaijiao…”
You asked if Lu Huaijiao was afraid?
She'd be scared!
Lu Huaijiao sneered, not only unafraid, but also telling Qin Lan and Zhu Guihua to restore the flowers in her yard to their original state by tomorrow!
"If you don't restore the flowers in my yard to their original state, your whole family, relying on Lu Zhengde, can expect to be punished along with the Northwest House!"
"Lu Huaijiao, what are you trying to do? He's your own father!" Qin Lan became nervous as soon as she heard that her husband might be targeted by Lu Huaijiao.
Lu Huaijiao chuckled.
"What about my biological father? He just lent my mother a seed. My mother gave birth to me, but my maternal grandmother raised me."
“Even he was able to enter politics thanks to my grandmother. What do I owe him? If we’re talking about debts, it’s Lu Zhengde who owes our whole family!”
When Lu Huaijiao calms down, she is frighteningly rational.
These words left Qin Lan and Zhu Guihua speechless.
The mother and daughter originally thought that by relying on Lu Zhengde's relationship, they could make Lu Huaijiao respect them more and give the family business to her son, Lu Huaiyu.
After all, Lu Huaijiao will get married in the future, and Lu Huaiyu is the one who will carry on the Lu family line, right?
Therefore, all the family property should rightfully belong to Lu Huaiyu.
It was with this idea in mind that they dared to take the key and vandalize Lu Huaijiao's yard.
I was just thinking that this courtyard should belong to Lu Huaiyu.
Of course, when Qin Lan agreed to let her mother destroy the courtyard, she didn't expect Lu Huaijiao to return immediately. She thought Lu Huaijiao would only come back for the New Year, or in a few years.
By then, the courtyard will already be occupied by her mother's side. She can then coax Lu Huaijiao a bit more, and with her intelligence, she'll surely not want the courtyard back.
But Qin Lan hadn't anticipated that Lu Huaijiao, who had only returned for the New Year, wouldn't come back in July. It was right after her mother had pulled up the flowers and plants in the yard.
Qin Lan was caught off guard and hadn't figured out how to deal with Lu Huaijiao, who had completely changed.
The mother and daughter were so overjoyed at receiving a new courtyard that they forgot about Lu Zhengde's true nature—he was, in fact, a son-in-law who had married into the Su family…
Everything that Old Lady Qiao left behind was for Lu Huaijiao; her own son-in-law didn't get anything...
Thinking about this, Qin Lan felt terrible.
However, in order to maintain her image as a stepmother, she still forced a smile at Lu Huaijiao: "Jiaojiao, you must be exhausted from coming back. I'll go back and talk to your dad and ask him to come see you later after get off work and explain that things aren't what you think."
Even at this point, Qin Lan is still dreaming!
Lu Huaijiao chuckled coldly.
Are they taking advantage of their youth and vulnerability?
fine!
"Gu Changzheng, I'm tired. Let's go back to sleep."
Lu Huaijiao turned around and told Gu Changzheng to go home.
As for Qin Lan and Zhu Guihua outside, she didn't care about them at all.
Their reactions had absolutely nothing to do with how she would deal with them.
She wouldn't let the matter drop just because Qin Lan showed her goodwill.
Gu Changzheng hummed in agreement, letting Lu Huaijiao go inside first. Only then did he turn around...
"Young master, wait a minute, young master..."
Seeing that they were about to leave, Qin Lan didn't dare to call out to Lu Huaijiao, and quickly went to call Gu Changzheng instead.
"Son-in-law, you've come all the way to Shanghai. If you don't go home and sit down with your father-in-law, won't people say you don't know what's good for you?"
Is Qin Lan taking a roundabout approach and starting to work on Gu Changzheng?
Lu Huaijiao, who had already turned around, turned back, yawned, and glanced at Qin Lan indifferently.
"You want my husband to take the initiative to visit Lu Zhengde? Does he even deserve it?"
