Five or six maids came up and aggressively wanted to drag Tao Niannian out.
Tao Niannian sneered and said, “1 don’t need you to invite me out! 1 don’t want to stay in your Lu family! I’ll leave now!”
After saying that, she raised her chin slightly and pretended to be calm and elegant as she walked away.
The rest of the people she invited were too ashamed to stay.
They all bade farewell to Old Master Lu.
Old Master Lu walked to the police officers and said politely, “Officer, we’ve already figured it out. My granddaughter-in-law really didn’t steal anyone else’s things. I’ve really troubled you to make this trip. It’s been hard on you.” “It doesn’t matter. It’s fine as long as everything is resolved. We’ll be leaving first.”
After the police left, Old Master Lu gave Chen Kexin a warning look.
Chen Kexin’s lips trembled as she said with red eyes, “Grandpa, it’s not my fault. Yining didn’t explain it clearly and caused everyone to misunderstand. 1 was just being kind… Besides, 1 didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. Tao Niannian forced me to call the police.”
It was all other people’s fault. She was the only innocent one.
What a magnificent pretentious b*tch!
Jiang Yining’s lips twitched and she couldn’t be bothered with her.
Old Master Lu naturally wouldn’t listen to her explanation. He ordered the housekeeper, “Bring Kexin to my study. I’ll deal with her later.”
“Yes.”
The housekeeper stepped forward and grabbed Chen Kexin’s arm.
Chen Kexin cried out, “Grandpa, Grandpa…”
However, Old Master Lu did not even look at her.
Shen Man stood still and her face which was as pale as a white sheet was tinged with guilt.
She walked forward and held Jiang Yining’s hand. She said, “I’m sorry, 1 caused you trouble.”
“Mom, how can it be your fault? It’s because they have evil intentions that they brought me trouble. Even if you didn’t give me anything, they will find other reasons to slander me.”
Jiang Yining knew very well whose fault it was.
Of course, she would not let them off.
Shen Man’s fingers were tightly knitted together, not knowing what to say.
Old Master Lu understood Jiang Yining’s painstaking efforts and felt even more pity for this child.
“Alright, let’s not talk about such unhappy things. Yining, why didn’t you tell us that you’re from the Gu family in the capital city?”
If only she had announced earlier that she was a member of the Gu family, that would save a lot of trouble.
Jiang Yining met Old Master Lu’s confused gaze and nodded slightly. She said politely, “Grandpa, I’m sorry. 1 didn’t mean to hide it from you. I just don’t want to say it… Besides, I’ve already decided to cut ties with the Gu family and won’t have any contact with them in the future. Therefore, I’m no longer a member of the Gu family. 1 hope you won’t associate me with the Gu family.”
“This…”
Old Master Lu did not know what kind of conflict Jiang Yining and Gu Zhanqing had for her to make such a decision.
However, he always respected his child’s choice.
Old Master Lu looked at Gu Zhanqing.
Gu Zhanqing smiled gently and said, “Old Master, 1 just said that she had a conflict with her family. And now she’s throwing a tantrum at me. I wonder if it’s convenient for me to talk to her in private?”
“Alright, you guys take your time. 1 just have a few words to say to Ah Man.”
Old Master Lu waved his hand, indicating for Shen Man to follow him out.
Shen Man held Jiang Yining’s hand for a bit, turned around, and left with the old man.
Only Jiang Yining and Gu Zhanqing were left in the living room.
Gu Zhanqing’s expression turned cold as he said, “Is this the freedom you want? You were slandered as a thief and even had to be taken to the police station? Jiang Yining, look carefully. You’re nothing if you leave the Gu family. Everyone around you doesn’t recognize you as the Young Mistress of the Lu family.”
There were so many people just now, but only the old man and Shen Man stood up for her.
It was obvious that the entire upper-class society did not accept her.
Gu Zhanqing did not understand why she insisted on staying with the Lu family.
Was it just to avenge Lin Yan?
“I only need Lu Zhi to acknowledge me as his wife. 1 don’t need to be recognized by others.” Jiang Yining crossed her arms and looked at him coldly. She continued, “Mr. Gu, you always say that I’m nothing without the Gu family. But I’ve been gone for so long, haven’t 1 still lived well? Not only that, 1 even married Lu Zhi.”
“Also, shouldn’t you think about why I would rather be bullied outside than follow you back to the Gu family?”
Gu Zhanqing’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper. In the end, it was a deep frown.
Jiang Yining paused for a few seconds.
She slowly said, “That’s because I was living a life worse than death in the Gu family. It was like living in hell.”
“Jiang Yining!” Gu Zhanqing roared.
“Heh, I just told you the truth. Why are you so angry?” Jiang Yining sneered, “Lu Zhi, Old Master Lu, my mother-in-law… Every single one of them treats me better than you.”
These strangers treated her better than Gu Zhanqing, who was her uncle in name.
Why should she go back to the Gu family?
Jiang Yining straightened her back, picked up the box, and said, “If there’s nothing else, 1’11 take my leave first.”
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Lu Zhi that you have another motive for getting close to him?”
The words that came from behind her made Jiang Yining stop in her tracks.
Gu Zhanqing saw her hesitation and continued, “How long have you known Lu Zhi? Do you have feelings for him? Yining, 1 watched you grow up and know you better than anyone else. You’re so cold-blooded. It’s impossible for you to fall in love with someone so quickly.”
“You approached him just to find out where Lin Yan is, right?”
“Wrong.” Jiang Yining said firmly.
Gu Zhanqing did not believe it at all. He retorted, “No? Did you tell him about Lin Yan? If Lu Zhi knew that you were tracking Lin Yan’s whereabouts, would he still tolerate you staying by his side like you’re doing right now?”
Jiang Yining’s bright eyes were gradually filled with anger.
Seeing that she was silent, Gu Zhanqing said again, “Come back with me obediently and stop throwing a tantrum. That way, I won’t tell him about Lin Yan. You can still be friends with him.”
Jiang Yining turned around abruptly and raised her hand high.
She wanted to slap him.
However, Gu Zhanqing was already prepared and quickly grabbed her hand.
Jiang Yining said sternly, “Gu Zhanqing, why won’t you let me go? Don’t you only like Jiang Rou and want me dead? Why won’t you let me go?”
She had already tried her best to stay away from him!
Why did he chase after her?
“As long as you’re Ah Mian’s daughter, I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life. Jiang Yining, come back with me. Don’t let All Rou worry about you.” Gu Zhanqing said in a commanding tone.
Jiang Yining suddenly felt sad.
He took care of her only because of her mother! And only because he did not want Jiang Rou to worry!
He had never considered her feelings at all!
Jiang Yining gritted her teeth and spat out, “I won’t go back with you. If you dare to tell Lu Zhi about Lin Yan, I will go and die. Gu Zhanqing, you know my personality. I always do what I say! If Jiang Rou finds out that you forced her twin sister to die, how do you think her illness will turn out when she gets so angry?”
“You’re threatening me with your biological sister’s life for an unrelated person?”
Gu Zhanqing stared at her as if he was looking at a monster.
“Lin Yan isn’t an irrelevant person. She’s my best friend!” Jiang Yining said seriously.
“How can that lowly person be your friend?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yining jumped up and hit his chin with her head.
Gu Zhanqing felt the pain and let go of her wrist.
Jiang Yining took a step back and said coldly, “In my opinion, you’re a thousand times lower than Lin Yan. You’re not even fit to carry her shoes! In the future, if you dare to insult her again, I’ll let you taste the pain in your heart..”
