Everyone in the Lu family knew about Jiang Yining.

For her sake, Old Master and Young Master Ah Zhi had chased Old Madam out.

Now, everyone wanted to flatter her.

Only by building a good relationship with her could he gain a foothold in the Lu family.

“Young Mistress, please come in.”

The maid was afraid that she would leave, so she hurriedly welcomed her inside.

Jiang Yining followed her into the living room.

The maid brought out the best tea and fruits in the house and served her with all her heart. “Young Mistress, I’ve already sent someone to inform the Old Madam. She should be here soon.”

“Okay.” Jiang Yining nodded.

The maid then asked tentatively, “Young Mistress, you’re here to bring Old Madam home, right?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Yining admitted.

The maid continued, “Actually, Old Madam regrets what she did to you. She had watched Kexin grow up and had a close relationship with her. In addition, Kexin had saved Young Master All Zhi’s life and had even fallen ill because of it. Old Madam naturally felt that she owed her and wanted to protect her more. Later on, when Kexin did such a disgraceful thing, Old Madam shed tears, saying she was sorry to you. However, she’s more competitive. She admitted her mistake in her heart and refused to admit it verbally.”

Jiang Yining sneered silently.

With Old Madam Lu’s proud personality, would she admit her mistake?

It was most likely that the maid was afraid Jiang Yining wouldn’t bring Old Madam back, so she deliberately deceived her.

She saw through it but didn’t expose it.

Jiang Yining smiled. “I understand.”

The maid saw that she had answered and interceded on behalf of Old Madam.

As the two of them chatted, Old Madam Lu hurriedly walked out and said anxiously, “Didn’t they say that someone from the Lu family came to pick me up? Who is it?”

“It’s me.”

Jiang Yining stood up.

When Old Madam Lu saw her, the smile on her face faded and she stopped in her tracks.

Her gaze kept looking behind her.

However, there was no one behind Jiang Yining.

Jiang Yining also knew who she was looking for. She smiled and said, “There’s no need to look. In the entire Lu family, I’m the only one willing to take you back.”

“Hmph, 1 don’t believe your nonsense.”

Old Madam Lu’s face darkened as she walked to the main seat and sat down.

She counted the days every day.

After tomorrow, it would be her wedding anniversary with Old Master.

How could he be so cruel as not to bring her home?

She didn’t believe that his heart was as cold and hard as stone!

Jiang Yining must have received the news in advance and wanted to taunt her before the others from the Lu family arrived to avenge her previous hatred.

“Believe it or not, this is the truth.”

Jiang Yining said calmly.

“Get out of here. I don’t want to see you!”

Old Madam Lu cursed angrily.

The maid next to her hurried forward and advised, “Old Madam, please be more polite to Young Mistress. It’s not for anything else but for the sake of her taking the initiative to bring you home. Please calm down.”

Old Madam Lu looked away and refused to speak.

Seeing how stubborn she was, Jiang Yining took out her phone and said, “Why don’t we make a bet? I’ll make three calls to the Lu family. If anyone is willing to take you home, I’ll apologize to you and won’t bicker with you or make you angry from now on. But if no one is willing to take you home, you have to apologize to me and obediently come back to the Lu family with me.”

Three calls, all to the Lu family.

The success rate was very high.

Old Madam Lu was tempted. “I must specify the person to call.”

“You name two, I’ll name one.”

“Alright, I agree!”

If she succeeded, Jiang Yining wouldn’t be able to argue with her in the future. Just thinking about it made her feel good!

Old Madam Lu agreed.

“Call my husband and my second son.”

No problem. I’ll call Lu Zhi for the third one,” Jiang Yining said straightforwardly.

“Okay.”

Old Madam Lu nodded.

Jiang Yining had never been a sloppy person, so she directly called Old Master Lu.

She greeted him first and asked about his health.

Old Master Lu said happily, “I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me. This morning, 1 went fishing in the wetland park. A total of three fish were caught, and all of them were very energetic. They are now in the lotus pond at home, waiting for you guys to come back this weekend so I can cook them for you guys.”

“Thank you for thinking about me and Ah Zhi, Grandpa.” Jiang Yining shifted the conversation and said, “By the way, Grandpa, 1 heard from my mother that tomorrow is your wedding anniversary with Grandma. She has been living outside for some time. Why don’t we take this opportunity to bring her home?”

Old Master Lu remained silent for two seconds before saying firmly, “No, we won’t bring her back.”

“Grandpa…”

Jiang Yining wanted to persuade him.

Old Master Lu interrupted her and said, “1 know you’re a good kid, considering my feelings, you took the initiative to bring your grandmother home. But Yining, I can’t make foolish decisions. In our family, we address the issue, not the person. She made a mistake and hasn’t admitted it. She must continue to bear the consequences. Only when she acknowledges her mistake can I bring her back.”

“Grandpa, it must be tough for Grandma to live alone outside.”

Jiang Yining whispered.

“Her hardships are of her own making. With so many grandchildren in the family, they all take us as an example. If she is old and disrespectful, leaving behind the blessings of her well-behaved grandchildren, who can she blame?”

Old Master Lu sighed and said, “Let’s not talk about her anymore. Let’s talk about something else.”

Jiang Yining didn’t feel it was appropriate to continue persuading.

She could only give up.

She said something else to Old Master Lu, used the excuse of having a class, and hung up the phone.

She looked up at Old Madam Lu.

She said, “Did you hear that? I didn’t do anything.”

Old Madam Lu felt uneasy.

Every word spoken by her husband pierced through her heart.

She couldn’t even retort.

Jiang Yining saw that she didn’t speak, so she dialed the next number. “Hello, Second Uncle, it’s Yining. I want to discuss something with you…”

Because she was not very familiar with Second Uncle Lu, Jiang Yining didn’t bother with the formalities and directly mentioned her intention to bring Old Madam back home.

She fabricated a story and claimed that she had already discussed it with Lu Zhi, but he was unwilling, so she needed Second Uncle’s intervention.

This made everything sound legitimate.

Second Uncle Lu had a strong sense of justice. “Yining, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. I also feel that what my mother did was wrong. Chen Kexin is nothing. She’s just a maid in our Lu family. She saved All Zhi, so it’s not a problem for us to repay her kindness. We usually treat her like a young miss, providing her with good food and drinks.”

“But what about her? She’s never satisfied! She actually caused such a scene at your wedding ceremony with Ah Zhi. You have no idea, 1 don’t even have the face to go out and see others.”

Second Uncle Lu was already dissatisfied with his mother’s excessive preference for Chen Kexin.

However, out of consideration for his parents’ dignity, he couldn’t point it out openly.

This time, with the chaos caused by Chen Kexin and his mother being chased out by his father, he felt like applauding his father!

Praise him for doing well!

Now, Jiang Yining had taken the initiative to bring Old Madam home.

He wasn’t happy about it.

However, he still had a favorable impression of Jiang Yining.

She was a filial girl!

Ah Zhi didn’t misjudge her!
