Lu Baoyun was so anxious that she burst into tears and stomped her feet.
Lu Baofei, who valued her reputation above all else, felt a burning pain on her face when she saw the chaotic scene before her.
The Lu family has always valued appearances.
Even though Lu Yi left the Lu family because he couldn't stay there any longer, rumors circulated that he had married into a wealthy family, and none of his family members stood up to speak publicly for him.
Who would have thought that the facade of dignity that had been maintained for so long would collapse so easily.
Lu Baofei wanted to pick them up, but she didn't know where to start.
The security guards couldn't tell who was who, but they panicked when Qin Fengying brandished her knife.
One of them cautiously asked Gu Huainan whether they should call the police.
Gu Huainan sighed inwardly, "You guys go ahead and get busy, this is none of your business!"
Then he gave Lu Baofei a wink, stepped forward, snatched the knife from Qin Fengying's hand, and led her into the inner room.
"Baoyun, don't go!"
Lu Baoyun wanted to help or stop it, but Lu Baofei quickly called her back.
"Yi'er, are you alright?"
Looking over her shoulder, Lu Baofei frowned and looked at Lu Yi.
This is not concern.
It was a test.
Lu Baofei herself felt that she was being so hypocritical in front of others.
For a split second, he actually stabbed Qin Fengying with her knife.
If the attack is successful, the Lu family's predicament will soon be resolved.
At this moment, she felt extremely guilty.
She was afraid that anyone present would see through her filthy thoughts.
"She's gone mad, send her to a mental hospital!"
Lu Yi gave an irrelevant answer, his tone as cold as frost.
Lu Baoyun, who was covering her face and crying, turned pale. "Yi'er, no, Mom just... just had a moment of despair!"
After saying that, she looked to Huo Jingxi for help.
The young master watched the spectacle with an air of detached amusement, showing no intention of getting involved.
Lu Baoyun then turned to her second sister, Lu Baofei, who lowered her eyes and avoided meeting her gaze.
Just as she was looking at Wu Ma, Butler Xu spoke first.
“Young Master Yi, Second Miss, Fourth Miss, Madam has been in this condition for more than just a day or two. She threw away all the medicine prescribed by the hospital and hasn’t taken it at all.”
One sentence plunged Lu Baoyun's heart into despair.
Aunt Wu wiped her eyes. "That's right. Madam went today... and her condition is especially serious. Young Master and Miss should make a decision as soon as possible!"
She wanted to say that Qin Fengying had recently received a phone call, which was probably from an appraisal agency.
She didn't want anyone to follow her.
But Lao Xu insisted on seeing her off, and even dragged Wu Ma along.
Qin Fengying reluctantly allowed them to follow, but when they reached the intersection, she got out of the car herself.
Wu Ma wanted to go along, but she couldn't keep up with her speed, so she had to go back to the car and wait with Lao Xu.
When Qin Fengying returned, her face was ashen.
When Aunt Wu and Butler Xu spoke to her, she seemed to have lost her soul and did not respond at all.
Just then, a car sped past.
Qin Fengying suddenly widened her eyes and urged Steward Xu to follow.
And so, they arrived here.
From inside came Qin Fengying's tantrum-like cursing; she cried and laughed as she cursed Gu Huainan, calling him a toad trying to eat swan meat.
They also said that Lu Baoyun would never marry into the Gu family.
The satire is directed at the Gu family, who, like the Fan family, couldn't raise a healthy daughter and resorted to stealing someone else's; it's utterly shameless.
Each and every word was so unbearable to hear.
Lu Baofei's gaze swept back and forth between Wu Ma and Steward Xu's faces, guessing that there must be a reason why Qin Fengying had become like this.
But it's not convenient to ask directly in front of so many people.
He turned and patted Lu Baoyun on the shoulder, "Fourth Sister, what do you think?"
Lu Baoyun raised her tearful eyes and looked at Lu Yi.
At this moment, she most wanted to hear some advice from Lu Yi.
However, Lu Yi turned his back to Huo Jingxi and whispered something to him.
The last flame of hope was extinguished, and Lu Baoyun's eyes turned dark. Lu Baofei couldn't bear it.
At this point, who could the Lu family rely on?
It's just the two sisters left.
“I’ll make the arrangements. Aunt Wu, Lao Xu, you two take Fourth Sister back and spend more time with her.”
She took out her phone, made a call, and walked inside while talking.
A short while later, Gu Huainan came out fuming, his face a mixture of pale and flushed.
He had clearly suffered considerable mental anguish.
"Second Miss, I'll see Bao Yun off. You two can have a proper talk!"
Gu Huainan waved to Lu Yi and Huo Jingxi, and without saying a word, pulled Lu Baoyun and walked out.
With Lu Baofei, who is in charge of the Lu family, having already spoken, Wu Ma and Steward Xu have no reason to stay any longer.
On the same day, news that Madam Lu, Qin Fengying, had been sent to a mental hospital spread like wildfire, but the major wealthy families in Jiangzhou remained unusually silent.
Even the conspicuous Wang Chan did not update his network status.
His most recent post was still complaining about how bad the food was at a Japanese restaurant.
Unfortunately, the shop closed down the very next day because of his "advertising".
In her haste to gather information, Lin Yuan set up a meeting in the Lin family's courtyard.
Those ladies haven't had a chance to relax and have fun in a long time.
After all, these people who grew up in a honey pot have heard plenty of angry buzzing from bees, in addition to enjoying the honey and having a good time.
Noticing the unusual mood of the elders in the family, no one dared to offend them.
The Lin family has no elders left.
Lin Hongtao is known for being afraid of his wife, so when Lin Yuan organized the gathering, all the heads of families and their heirs took it to heart.
They also assigned tasks to the women.
Make sure they find out Lu Yi's next move.
Lin Mengmeng was indifferent to everything, spending her days buying clothes, luxury goods, and cosmetics.
In contrast, Lin Xiaoya spent most of her time locked in her room, except when talking to Lin Yuan and her husband.
That day, Lin Yuan asked Lin Mengmeng to pick out a decent dress for her sister.
Lin Mengmeng pouted unhappily, picked up a few items she didn't want, and slowly handed them over.
"Trying to show off? No way! You illegitimate daughter, if you dare to outshine me, I'll make you regret it!"
Lin Xiaoya ignored the clothes and stared coldly at her clueless younger sister.
What do you think of Mrs. Lu?
In terms of the depth of their interactions, Lin Mengmeng had been in contact with the Lu family longer than she had.
At that time, the Lu family was a model of a harmonious and united family.
The reason Lin Yuan didn't stop Mengmeng from getting closer to Lu Han was because she valued the family's future potential!
Lin Mengmeng has some genuine feelings for Lu Han.
After all, they are just children, experiencing their first stirrings of love, and their minds are innocent.
Hearing her sister ask this, a hint of regret appeared on Lin Mengmeng's proud face.
For a moment, he forgot that he had come to sow discord between Lin Xiaoya and others!
"Mrs. Lu is very gentle and generous... but she's a little petty. I remember when Lu Han and I first got together... Hey, why am I telling you all this!"
Seeing Lin Xiaoya's ambiguous smile, Lin Mengmeng threw her skirt at her, turned around and left with a dark face.
Sometimes she envied Lin Xiaoya.
At least she dared to stand up to her mother.
However, she would never say such things to someone's face, things that would diminish her prestige.
Lin Xiaoya tossed the expensive dresses into the trash can, a smile playing on her lips as she muttered, "Mrs. Lu really has only herself to blame; she deserves it!"
