Chapter 12: Driving the Shen family away means you look down on me...
The driver took Lu Chiyuan back to the villa, and Jiang Chen followed him out of the car. Before he even entered the house, he heard ghosts howling in the house. The sound was emotionless and relied entirely on lung capacity.
Jiang Chenguang got a headache just by listening to this, and he didn't dare to think about how to reason with such a person. He stole a glance at Lu Chiyuan's face, which was not unexpectedly ugly.
Uncle Lin, whom Lu Chiyuan had just met in the morning, stood at the door to greet him. His expression remained the same, with a faint smile on his lips. He did not show any displeasure at all because of those people's throwing a tantrum.
He had already reported the specific situation to Lu Chiyuan over the phone, so he didn't explain much at this moment. Instead, he gave a look to let the security guards pull all the people from the Shen family away and led Lu Chiyuan to the living room.
There were broken cups and shattered vases in the living room, and the floor was a mess.
Shen Zhiyi sat on the sofa. Her cut wrist had been bandaged by the family doctor under Lin Bo's command. The family doctor sat quietly beside her, with a medicine box at hand, which contained everything.
Uncle Lin was not afraid of Shen Zhiyi's tantrum. Even if she stabbed herself with a knife, there were doctors who could provide emergency treatment and would not let her die.
Lin Bo didn't like the child's threatening methods.
When the Shen family saw Lu Chiyuan coming in, their howling gradually became quieter. They still had some sense and knew who they dared to offend and who they didn't.
Jiang Chen found it funny, but when he thought about it again, he felt extremely upset.
In the original novel, the Shen family did a lot of eye drops for Shen Zhiyi in the later period, and they played an indispensable role in the estrangement between Shen Zhiyi and the Lu family.
Lu Chiyuan walked straight to Shen Zhiyi. He stood in front of her, but instead of getting angry, he was concerned about her injuries first: “How is your hand? Is it seriously injured?”
Shen Zhiyi turned his head away, refusing to communicate with him.
Seeing this, the family doctor said, "The injury is not serious and will not affect the use of the hands."
Hearing that it was not serious, Lu Chiyuan understood. He sat down on the sofa on the other side, looked up at Jiang Chen, and motioned for him to sit down as well.
Shen Zhiyi looked at him and saw his cold face, which still frightened her. But when she thought of the relatives of the Shen family crying so sadly, she felt that Lu Chiyuan was being unkind and unreasonable.
"You want to fire them, is it because there were peanuts in the soup I brought you yesterday? I told you it was not intentional, and you didn't eat it. You can just fine them, it's not a big deal, why bother to fire them all?"
"Then ask them if they are willing to be fined."
Lu Chiyuan gave Lin Bo a look, and Lin Bo went downstairs to bring in the cook.
As soon as the aunt saw Shen Zhiyi, she began to wipe her tears and said aggrievedly: "Xiaoyi, aunt really didn't mean it. Please help aunt to ask for mercy. You also know that my family is in a difficult situation. My husband is paralyzed in bed. Your brother had an accident a few years ago and can't go out to work. The whole family relies on me. I just want to take care of you for another two years. When you grow up and don't need me anymore, I will go back to take care of them."
Jiang Chen curled his lips when he heard this. If he hadn’t read the book, he would have believed it.
[Her husband is idle and doesn't go out to work, and her son molested a girl and had his hand broken. How can she have the nerve to complain here? ]
Shen Zhiyi was a little anxious when he saw her crying, but Lu Chiyuan was indifferent and just listened quietly.
Shen Zhiyi felt aggrieved. In this family, as long as Lu Chiyuan was there, she couldn't make any decisions.
Isn't it because she is just an adopted daughter? Sure enough, what others said was right. The Lu family adopted her just to gain a good reputation.
"Brother, my aunt's family is really in trouble, can't you have a little sympathy?" Shen Zhiyi complained, "She did something wrong, you fine her some money and give her a chance to reform, she will definitely not do it again."
The crying auntie was immediately unhappy when she heard that she would be fined. She stopped crying and jumped up and said, "No, why should I be fined? Xiaoyi, your family is rich. Any money you get from your fingers is enough for us to live on for a lifetime. Why do you ask me for these little money?"
Shen Zhiyi's expression froze, and Lu Chiyuan sneered, "It seems that she doesn't want to accept your kindness."
Jiang Chen nodded in agreement. Snowball jumped onto his shoulder, took out the family's melons, clicked his tongue twice, and started to serve the melons to Jiang Chen.
[More than not wanting to be grateful, she wished she could get some money out of Shen Zhiyi's pocket. Her son had a new girlfriend, and he acted like a rich man in front of her, boasting that he was a rich second generation, and wanted to buy luxury cars and villas to show off, and urged her mother to cheat Shen Zhiyi for money every day. ]
[Chen Zhiyi's money is not enough to support Huangmao and the blood-sucking worms in the Shen family. This aunt is planning to sell the jewels in the villa when she sees that she can't squeeze out money. She is carrying the ruby necklace that Lu Chiyuan bought from the auction, which was Shen Zhiyi's 18th birthday gift, in her pocket. The market value is about 20 million.]
Jiang Chen was shocked, and Lu Chiyuan couldn't help but look at his aunt.
[She was quite knowledgeable and chose the most expensive one.]
Shen Zhiyi didn't know that the Shen family had already reached into her pocket to take the money. She was very embarrassed by Lu Chiyuan's words and said unconvincedly: "Brother has been born with a golden key in his mouth. Of course, he doesn't know how important these three melons and two dates are to ordinary people like us. They can only maintain their basic needs even if they are careful with their budgets."
“Shen Zhiyi, before you say this, shouldn’t you settle this account first?”
Lu Chiyuan looked at Lin Bo, and Lin Bo handed over the tablet tacitly. Inside was a chart of the villa's expenditure data in recent months. From wages to purchases, everything handled by the Shen family was more than double the usual amount.
Lu Chiyuan looked at a few data points and said, "You pay five-digit salaries to everyone in the Shen family, and this aunt gets twenty-five thousand. You said I don't understand ordinary people, but do you know that their monthly salary is equivalent to the annual income of many ordinary people?"
Shen Zhiyi retorted: “How is it possible that someone can’t make 20,000 yuan in a year?”
In her opinion, society is becoming more prosperous, and the prices of things outside are constantly rising. Clothes and shoes are thousands of yuan. If a family does not even have an income of 20,000 yuan a year, how can they spend their money?
Lu Chiyuan didn't expect to hear such words from Shen Zhiyi's mouth, and the look he gave her became unfamiliar.
It has only been a few years since Shen Zhiyi came to the Lu family.
During these years, she had no worries about food or clothing, the balance on her card had never been less than one million, and she also had Lu Chiyuan's unlimited supplementary card. As long as she could buy what she wanted, it was never a problem.
The Lu family was afraid of wronging her, so they tried their best to give her the best, but in the end she ended up forgetting her roots?
[The heroine of the domineering boss novel has a strange value of money. On the one hand, she regards money as dirt, and on the other hand, she looks down on the lower class people. She is still not hungry, but she will be honest after two meals. 】
Jiang Chen looked up at the sky speechlessly, complaining silently in his heart.
Lu Chiyuan sat next to him, sliding the tablet in his hand. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Shen Zhiyi was brought back by the Lu family when she was at her lowest point. Without any buffering period, she was lifted up by the Lu family. She was immature and had not experienced many things. Her rebelliousness and extremely evil naivety were only for the purpose of throwing herself into the arms of another person and starting their love that disregarded the lives of others.
Lu Chiyuan did not argue with her. He listed the details of the expenses one by one to Shen Zhiyi: "You should be able to see clearly from this data chart. I am rich, not sick. Why should I spend a high price to buy cheap labor and waste it? All the employees of this villa will be dismissed within today. Not only that, all the expenses of the villa will be borne by you."
Shen Zhiyi looked at the soaring curve, but couldn't remember where the expenses went. She seemed to have this expense, but also seemed not to have it.
Before she could figure out what was going on, Lu Chiyuan made two decisions.
Shen Zhiyi's face turned pale and red, just like the color plate. She was too busy to plead with her aunt because she realized another problem: she had no money.
My aunt screamed, "Why are you firing me? I didn't do anything wrong. I signed a labor contract. You have to compensate me, a lot of money. If you don't give me, I won't leave."
After saying that, my aunt lay down on the ground and started rolling around, cursing and swearing, not saying a single nice word.
Lu Chiyuan's face became more and more gloomy, and Lin Bo quickly asked the security guards to drag out those who were uncooperative.
[Why was it taken away? The jewel necklace is still on her. ]
Seeing tens of millions being dragged away like this, Jiang Chen became anxious and turned to Lu Chiyuan and said, "Don't you want to check it? What if they took something they shouldn't have..."
"What do you mean? Do you think they will steal things?" Shen Zhiyi exploded when she heard it, thinking that Jiang Chen was mocking her.
She interrupted Jiang Chen and stood up from the sofa. "They are a little poor, but they are not as bad as you think. What makes you doubt them? Is it great that you are rich? Do you think you can slander them just because you are rich?"
Jiang Chen was interrupted and hesitated to speak.
He was not suspicious, they really took away the things from the villa.
Lu Chiyuan raised his hand to hold Jiang Chen down, signaling him not to argue with Shen Zhiyi. Shen Zhiyi was not scolding him, but was saying this deliberately for Lu Chiyuan to hear.
The more Shen Zhiyi thought about it, the more she felt wronged. She cried, "I know you didn't drive them out because I gave them money, but because they are my relatives. You look down on them and me. You never took me out to play these years. Aren't you afraid that others would say that you have a sister who was picked up from the countryside? She smells poor and can't be on the stage?"
In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Chiyuan is a perfect child from another family. When Shen Zhiyi was a child, she also admired him and wanted to be close to him, but Lu Chiyuan was always in a hurry, and occasionally when he was at home, Shen Zhiyi could not say a few words to him.
His kindness to Shen Zhiyi was based on using money to solve problems, as if they had no relationship other than financial transactions.
Gradually, Shen Zhiyi knew that Lu Chiyuan didn't like her. Her appearance took away some of the love from Lu's parents.
She was always very cautious in front of Lu Chiyuan. Before Lu's parents went abroad, they handed her over to Lu Chiyuan and asked him to take good care of her.
But Lu Chiyuan went out early and came back late, and seldom met her. Later, he simply bought her a new house and asked her to move out.
He always resisted her like this.
Shen Zhiyi didn't know what she had done wrong, nor did she know what to do to satisfy Lu Chiyuan. Until one day when she got into trouble, Lu Chiyuan rushed to her side as quickly as possible to comfort her.
At that moment, she suddenly realized that Lu Chiyuan would not tolerate any accidents or stains in his life, so no matter how much he disliked her, he would clean up her mess.
This made Shen Zhiyi find the trick, and she began to get into trouble constantly just to see Lu Chiyuan running towards her.
But the troubles she had caused recently were getting bigger and bigger, and she couldn't make it up, so Lu Chiyuan began to get impatient.
Shen Zhiyi panicked. She didn't want to be left here alone again. She wanted to feel surrounded by people.
Lu Chiyuan was somewhat surprised that Shen Zhiyi would see it this way. He and Shen Zhiyi were nine years apart in age. When Shen Zhiyi was in elementary school, he was already in college and was starting a business with some friends.
It’s not that he doesn’t take Shen Zhiyi out to play, it’s that the occasions he goes to are all about work. Shen Zhiyi is a child, how bored would she be?
Besides, her parents loved her very much at that time and took her with them wherever they went, so there was no need for Lu Chiyuan to take care of her.
"I fired them because they took your money and pushed you around, not because I looked down on them." Lu Chiyuan calmed down and explained, "Adopting you was a unanimous decision of our family. I'm very happy that you're my sister."
