Lu Tianyu was unwilling to return to the Lu family mansion just like that. He was fed up with the scheming and infighting with Wu's family every day. His mother's illness had been cured, and he really didn't care at all whether he was the heir of the Lu family or not.

But Zhao Di insisted on letting him go back, not for the Lu family's wealth, but because she didn't want her lover to be abandoned by everyone because of her.
Zhao Di said with a smile, "Tianyu, you are, after all, the eldest son in the family. If you leave home without a word, your mother, as the matriarch of the family, will lose all her dignity. How will she face the household in the future? Now that I understand your intentions, I am confident that I can make them accept me!"
"I'm not going back. I want to stay with you!" Lu Tianyu refused outright. "What if you get kidnapped by Young Master Zhao if I leave?"
"Hahaha, Brother Lu, you have so little confidence in yourself?" Young Master Zhao arrived gracefully with Tang Qiqi, fanning himself with his fan!
Seeing this, Lu Tianyu said to Tang Qiqi, "Tang Qiqi, you heartless little thing, how can you be with this person? Come here right now!"
Young Master Zhao said in a very good mood, "Zhao Di, Brother Lu has misunderstood me too much. You should explain quickly, or he will frame me again!" He was not angered by Lu Tianyu at all.
Zhao Di said generously, "Brother Zhao, you are a magnanimous person, don't stoop to the level of this hothead Tianyu!"
Lu Tianyu's face grew increasingly grim, and Tang Qiqi couldn't help but clapp her hands and laugh, "Big sister, Tianyu's jealousy has boiled over! If you keep chatting and laughing with Brother Zhao like this, he'll go crazy!"
Young Master Zhao affectionately poked Tang Qiqi's head and said, "Look how angry Brother Lu is! And you, the one who started this, are gloating!"
"I'm not going back to the Lu residence, otherwise the wife I finally managed to win back will be snatched away!" Lu Tianyu said angrily.

Zhao Di blushed and said, "Lu Tianyu, can't you speak properly? Who's your wife!"
"See? They've turned their backs on me!" Lu Tianyu said, feeling wronged.
Tang Qiqi skipped over to Lu Tianyu's side and said, "Brother Tianyu, stop being jealous here. Brother Zhao is not your rival in love. The fact that you and my older sister were able to reconcile is all thanks to Brother Zhao!"
Young Master Zhao humbly replied, "It was nothing, I dare not take credit. It was all thanks to Miss Qiqi's wisdom and kindness in coming up with such a wonderful idea!"
Lu Tianyu looked at the people in front of him, completely bewildered, and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
It turned out that Tang Qiqi, seeing that Zhao Di was troubled by love, came up with a plan to invite Young Master Zhao from a neighboring county to be his imaginary rival, with the aim of making him feel a sense of crisis and bravely make a choice.
"Shunzi, Afu, are we still brothers? You two actually teamed up to lie to me!" Lu Tianyu said, and then chased after them.
Shunzi said, feeling wronged, "Brother, we're innocent! We only just found out about this!"
"Nobody would believe you!" Lu Tianyu persisted.
Zhao Di stopped him and said, "Don't make things difficult for them. Not to mention Shunzi and Afu, even I was kept in the dark!"

Qiqi said, "It's all because my sister's love for you is stronger than gold, and she completely ignores Young Master Zhao. I had no choice but to tell her about this so that she could cooperate!"
"You...you've deceived me so badly!" Lu Tianyu cried, tears streaming down his face.
Everyone burst into laughter. After a delicious farewell feast, Lu Tianyu reluctantly bid farewell to Zhao Di and returned to the Lu residence!
When his father's second wife, Madam Wu, saw her, she looked as if she had seen a ghost. She didn't even have time to control her expression and asked in a panic, "Why are you back?"
Lu Tianyu smiled good-naturedly and said, "Auntie, what are you saying? This is my home, can't I go back?"
Wu was speechless, and said awkwardly, "I'm just so happy that you haven't been back for so long!"
"As long as Auntie is happy!" Lu Tianyu said and strode away, completely ignoring Wu's disappointment at her failed plan!
Lu Tianyu always kept Zhao Di's words in mind: to be calm and composed. But he also secretly made up his mind that he would marry Zhao Di no matter whether his parents agreed or not.
After he left, he patiently stopped coming to see Zhao Di every day, and instead had his personal servant send her things from time to time to express his feelings.
One day, a man in his fifties came into the shop, followed by two servants. Judging from his clothes and appearance, he was a person of importance.

The man ordered a table full of Juxianlou's signature dishes, savored each one carefully, and then asked to see the owner.
Shunzi said worriedly, "Sis, this person looks scary. Could he be here to cause trouble? Be careful!"
Zhao Di said calmly, "What is meant to be will be, and we have nothing to fear if we are upright!"
The man was nitpicky about every dish, finding fault with everything, but Zhao Di's graceful and generous explanations always defused the situation.
The man's expression softened as he said, "You have such courage and ability at such a young age, it's truly impressive! My name is Lu Zhengting, and I apologize for my intrusion, Miss Zhaodi!"
Lu Zhengting? Isn't this the master of the Lu family, Lu Tianyu's father? The usually composed Zhao Di was flustered.
Lu Tianyu's parents are quite eccentric; they both like to come to the restaurant without warning to cause trouble. Although it's said that an ugly daughter-in-law must eventually meet her in-laws, Zhao Di is really grateful that they always do it so unexpectedly.
Feeling somewhat relieved that she hadn't done anything wrong, she curtsied and said politely, "Zhao Di greets Master Lu. It's truly an honor to have you personally come to our humble shop!"
Master Lu said, "Miss Zhaodi, you're too kind. I came uninvited because I have something to ask you. I heard that Tang's in the city center is also owned by Miss Zhaodi's family?"
Zhao Di nodded and said, "Yes, my sister manages those shops!"

Lu Zhengting nodded and said admiringly, "It's truly admirable that you've built your business to this scale in just a few years. I've come here today specifically to express my gratitude. Thank you, Miss Zhaodi and your sister, for your kindness in allowing my shop in the west of the city to operate normally."
Zhao Di didn't mince words and said generously, "Mr. Lu, you're too kind. I've known Tianyu for so many years, and he once saved my life. It's only right that I do this!"
Master Lu said, “Miss Zhaodi, I know that you refused to cooperate with Jingzhen and did not do porcelain business, which caused you considerable losses. I will remember this kindness. However, marriage is a major event and cannot be done so hastily. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family must be a lady of a prominent family and be raised in seclusion. Although Miss Zhaodi is a heroine, she still shows her face in public every day. Let’s end your relationship with Tianyu here!”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Di showed no sadness whatsoever, and continued to say with a smile, "I understand what Master Lu means. Since Tianyu and I are not destined to be together, my Tangji will never do porcelain business in Huaiyuan again, and will not compete with your Lu family for business. This is more than enough to repay the kindness he showed in saving me."
I will inform Lanling, Tuqiao, Suide, and the surrounding counties to start cooperating with Jingzhen. After all, Jingzhen's products are of good quality and inexpensive; it would be a real shame to miss out on making money from them!
Lu Zhengting's face suddenly changed color, and he said angrily, "Little girl, are you threatening me?"
Zhao Di said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, what are you saying? As you know, Tang Ji operates like a department store. We'll do any business that's profitable!"
Lu Zhengting's expression suddenly changed, and he trembled with anger. He said with a furious face, "Is Miss Zhaodi threatening me?"
Zhao Di said calmly, "Mr. Lu, you misunderstand. Since we no longer have a relationship with the Lu family, why would Tang Ji give up such a good opportunity to make money? You also started from scratch, you know more about business than I do!"
Lu Zhengting was speechless. If Tang Ji were to get involved in the porcelain business, with their current strength, a monopoly would be a matter of life and death, and the Lu family's business would be completely finished.

From the Tang family's perspective, letting such a good business opportunity pass them by would be a huge loss. If they were in the Tang family's shoes, they would not hesitate to take action!
Lu Zhengting never imagined that he would be so controlled by others. The life and death of the Lu family was actually the marriage of his eldest son. If he really compromised, he would sell his son for personal gain. How would he stand on his own two feet in the future?
“Master Lu seems to be in a difficult position. You don’t need to worry too much. I have already given the order that we will not get involved in the porcelain business for the next three months. But if it goes on any longer, it may be difficult!” Zhao Di’s tone was polite, but every word was firm and resolute.
The Lu family is using all sorts of tricks to show their power; I really don't know where their confidence comes from. When you can't tolerate something anymore, you shouldn't tolerate it any longer!
