Grandpa Lu's performance was so natural that if they didn't know what was going on, they probably would have been fooled by him.
Lu Yunzhang glanced at his grandfather with a complicated expression.
"Third brother said you gave it to Yunzhang." Wen Mo glanced at Lu Yunzhang.
"That's not true." Old Master Lu slammed his teacup on the table, his voice tinged with anger. "Third Brother dared to kill even his own brother; he's a beast. You believe everything he says?"
Wen Mo raised his eyes. "Grandpa, let me remind you one more time, that thing belongs to the Wen family, not your Lu family."
"Even if you steal it, it's not yours. You're just thieves and robbers, understand?"
After saying that, ignoring the extremely ugly look on Old Master Lu's face, she looked at Lu Yunzhang and said, "I know that the old man has already given you the key. You can choose not to give it to your fourth uncle, but... don't blame your fourth uncle for using extreme measures afterward."
Lin Xiaoxiao also looked at Lu Yunzhang.
The key must be retrieved. The contents inside might be priceless in future generations, but for now they are just ordinary antiques and paintings.
Most importantly, the items in the secret room were the only relics left by her grandfather.
These are all things he liked when he was alive; I brought them back as souvenirs.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know much about Lu Yunzhang, and because he married Lin Wanwan, she didn't have much affection for him before; he was just a stranger she knew.
Now he's her cousin, hmm... that's complicated.
Lu Yunzhang moved his lips, about to speak, when Li Yuan pulled him back.
"Fourth brother, you've probably misunderstood. The old man didn't give Yunzhang any key. Even if he wanted to give it to you, he couldn't, could he?"
Li Yuan wasn't sure if Grandpa Lu had given the key to her son, but judging from their behavior, it was probably true.
Now that the key is in Yun Zhang's hands, it naturally belongs to him. There's no reason for him to take it out again. Li Yuan absolutely wouldn't allow it.
Wen Mo didn't even look at Li Yuan, just stared at Lu Yunzhang.
Lu Yunzhang's choice will determine how Wen Mo will treat his nephew in the future, and he hopes that he can make the right choice.
His indifference made Li Yuan very uncomfortable. She couldn't help but look at Wen Shiyu and roll her eyes. "Fourth sister-in-law, you lost your key. Why should you ask my Yunzhang for it? Didn't you give it to Lu Ze? Go find Lu Ze."
Lin Xiaoxiao noticed the jealousy in her eyes towards her mother.
With a light laugh, she said, "Comrade Li Yuan, you have an unusually thick skin. You're jealous of my mother on one hand, and on the other hand, you want to seize her property. You're really shameless."
Li Yuan's voice was shrill, "Me, jealous of her? What is there for me to be jealous of?"
Why should she be jealous of that bitch Wen Shiyu? She looks like a vixen and has probably seduced countless men behind the scenes.
Bah! Maybe Wen Mo was seduced by her looks, which is why he broke with the Lu family for her sake.
What a despicable person.
Lin Xiaoxiao counted on her fingers, as if reciting a cherished treasure, "My mother is beautiful, comes from a good family, has a gentle personality, is intelligent and quick-witted, and is very knowledgeable..."
I counted them one by one for a full two minutes, without repeating any of them.
Wen Mo smiled as he looked at his daughter and nodded in agreement.
Wen Shiyu blushed from the praise.
“There are so many things you’re jealous of about my mother.” After listing them, Lin Xiaoxiao saw the resentful look in Li Yuan’s eyes and sneered, “You’re cursing my mother in your heart while you’re also eyeing her things.”
"To have one's cake and eat it too is despicable."
This statement can be said to have insulted most of the Lu family.
You should know that when Wen Mo brought Wen Shiyu back to Beijing, Old Master Lu looked down on Wen Shiyu, thinking that she was too seductive and that she was not a girl from a good family.
His attitude changed drastically after he learned that Wen Shiyu was Wen Jiarong's daughter.
But deep down I still don't like it.
Those are all despicable acts.
Old Master Lu's face turned ashen, almost a bluish-gray hue, and his eyes were filled with the flames of anger.
"Fourth brother, your daughter is absolutely rude." His impression of Lin Xiaoxiao plummeted. "She's outspoken, arrogant, and unruly..."
Wen Mo's eyes turned cold. Before he could say anything, Lin Xiaoxiao stood with her hands on her hips and angrily confronted Old Master Lu, "Who do you think you are? You're pointing fingers at me like that. I'd say you're disrespectful to your elders, cunning and treacherous, taking advantage of your age, and an old man who won't die."
"You, you, you..." Old Master Lu's fingers trembled.
Wen Mo and Wen Shiyu exchanged a glance, both seeing a smile in each other's eyes.
Their daughter isn't the type to be bullied.
"You you you you..." Lin Xiaoxiao repeated deliberately, "Take it easy, don't get yourself into a stroke."
Upon hearing the word "stroke," Grandpa Lu immediately took a deep breath to calm himself down. He didn't want to die, nor did he want to have a stroke.
"I'm not going to bother with a little girl like you," he sneered.
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I'm not going to argue with an old man like you."
Grandpa Lu was so angry that he rolled his eyes.
Unfilial son, unfilial daughter...
Lin Xiaoxiao snorted, "I'll make you so angry you'll die."
Wen Mo spoke up at the right moment, "Old man, didn't you say you didn't want to separate the family? Hand over the keys and we won't separate."
Old Master Lu said in a gruff voice, "No."
"Fine, don't bother paying then." Wen Mo didn't press for it; he had plenty of ways to get it. He took a piece of paper from the bodyguard and slapped it in front of Old Master Lu. "Sign it."
Old Master Lu glanced at it in disbelief, "You want to sever ties with me?"
His eyes widened, and he laughed in anger, "Well, what a good son of mine, eager to become Wen Jiarong's live-in son-in-law, huh?"
