Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

Chapter 303 Li Zhen vs. Old Lady Lu

Li Zhen was stopped by the old lady and walked towards them.

Mrs. Lu looked at the young man in front of her and felt again that Lu Xingchen was just like her mother, and had a good eye for men. She asked indifferently, "Lu Xingchen came here today. Are you really planning to give up your inheritance rights?"

Li Zhen: "Didn't you read her letter of commitment?"

The old lady said lightly, "Who knows if it is necessary for the plot?"

Li Zhen looked at her for a moment and asked in a normal voice, "To cooperate with your plot needs?"

The old lady frowned slightly, "Birds of a feather flock together. You are as talkative as Lu Xingchen."

Li Zhen countered: "Then do you think that anything Xingchen said today is unreasonable?"

The old lady was displeased: "Young man, don't be so sarcastic."

Li Zhen smiled, "If I remember correctly, it was the old lady who asked me to come here to ask questions, and I just answered truthfully."

After saying that, he glanced at Lu Dingsheng and asked the old lady, "Old lady, you just want to confirm whether Xingchen intends to give up the inheritance rights. Don't you want to know why she changed her mind at the last minute and said in front of everyone that she would return to the Lu family as long as she was needed?"

Lu Dingsheng frowned slightly after hearing this. In fact, he was shocked to hear Lu Xingchen say that she wanted to give up her inheritance rights, and she tore up the letter of commitment on the spot, so he could also understand her good intentions.

The old lady sneered, "Do you even need to think about it? She made it clear at the banquet that she did it for the two men she loves. Humph, she has the nerve to say such a high-sounding reason."

Li Zhen couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "That's because there are some reasons that she can't say in a high-sounding way."

Are there other reasons? The old lady suddenly became alert and looked at Li Zhen with a cold face.

Li Zhen did not shy away from her cold gaze and looked her straight in the face and said, "She did it for you."

"What?" The old lady thought it was ridiculous. "Although I am an old woman, I am not so pitiful that I need her to sacrifice herself for me."

Li Zhen: “But Ethan Lu, who you brought back, needs it.”

The old lady was slightly startled.

Li Zhen continued, "Who do you think will become the target of public criticism if Lu Xingchen gives up his inheritance rights to the Lu family at this time?"

It was Lu Ethan, who was only five years old.

The old lady understood what Li Zhen meant. "Do you think we don't have the ability to protect Yisen? Well, I am indeed old and don't have that much energy. I may not even have many years left to live. But do you think that Lu Dingsheng, as Yisen's father, doesn't have the ability to do so?"

"I don't doubt Chairman Lu's ability." Li Zhen admitted this first, but then said, "I don't know if the old lady has ever watched palace fighting dramas. The emperor is busy with government affairs and is more or less unable to handle the affairs of the harem. What's more, Chairman Lu is not only facing the harem, but also a group of princes and princes who want to fight for power."

His tone was normal, but he used a metaphor from a palace drama which was somewhat ironic. The old lady felt uncomfortable and Lu Dingsheng felt somewhat helpless.

The old lady snorted coldly, "Lu Xingchen is an outsider, but she has lived in the Lu family for nearly twenty years, and you are a complete outsider. What right do you have to accuse our Lu family in such a sarcastic way?"

"As an outsider, I don't care about the Lu family's affairs at all, but since it concerns Xingchen, I have to say a few words. Just as Xingchen said today, if the people of the Lu family were really harmonious and really knew how to sympathize with and respect Chairman Lu, then Xingchen would not have been forced to leave the Lu family despite Chairman Lu's efforts."

Of course the old lady was unhappy to hear this, but she could not deny that Lu Xingchen was forced out of the Lu family by many people who used social connections to trick people.

And are these people really just doing this because she is not Lu Dingsheng's bloodline?

Is it really just for the Lu family's orthodoxy?

No, she knew clearly that some people drove Lu Xingchen away so that they or their descendants could take the throne.

Li Zhen added: "As a grandmother, the old lady must have put a lot of pressure on her back then, right?"

The old lady looked at Li Zhen and finally understood why Lu Xingchen would stand up to protect him, because this man would do the same for Lu Xingchen.

"So you are accusing me of doing something wrong?"

"I dare not." Li Zhen said frankly, "I just want to tell you that maybe you don't think of Xingchen as a family member, but she has always left room for everyone in the Lu family because of this relationship. You may think that she is incapable of doing anything to you, but go back and ask, what did Lu Andi do to her, what did Lu Yiheng do to her again and again, is there anything that she can't get to the bottom of, but she is afraid of causing trouble to the Lu family and only mentions it?"

"you……"

"Mom." Lu Dingsheng stopped the old lady who was getting angry and embarrassed. "Whether what Li Zhen said is true or not, you should ask yourself whether you also know what Andy and Yiheng did."

The old lady took a deep breath and finally suppressed her habitually high-handed arrogance. "If Lu Xingchen is really so kind, then you can thank her for me, but you outsiders don't have to worry about our Lu family's affairs."

At this point, Li Zhen felt that there was no need to waste any more words. "I will tell Xingchen, but a journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character. The old lady should be able to see people and things more clearly than us younger generations."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Dingsheng and said, "Chairman Lu, I'll go back first."

Lu Dingsheng raised his hand to invite him out of the hall, "I'm sorry to have made such a fool of myself in front of you."

Li Zhen: "Every family has its own problems."

Lu Dingsheng: "Our family's sutra is even more difficult to recite."

Li Zhen: "As the family grows and the people grow, it's inevitable that the Buddhas we believe in are different."

Lu Dingsheng had no choice but to stop seeing him off at the door: "Please treat Xingchen well for me."

Li Zhen looked at him, nodded, then turned and left.

Lu Dingsheng couldn't help but sigh as he watched his receding back. Perhaps he was really old, and he was only thinking about strengthening the Lu family and considering the overall situation, but this made many people have second thoughts and ambitions. Having ambition is a good thing, but the atmosphere within the Lu family is indeed worrying.

"Is it because the father-in-law likes his son-in-law more and more?" Yang Wenqi's voice came from behind, and she was still holding Lu Xinyue's hand.

Lu Dingsheng retracted his mind and looked at Yang Wenqi. Seeing that the smile on her face was insincere, he knew that it was the old lady who did Ethan Lu's thing that made her feel bad. Not knowing how to explain, he turned to his daughter and said with a smile, “Xinyue, come to Dad.”

Lu Xinyue just glanced at him and then shrank behind Yang Wenqi.

Lu Dingsheng's heart felt as if it had been stabbed by me. He walked towards his daughter, "Xinyue..."

"Dad, you go ahead and do your thing. I want to go home with mom first." After Lu Xinyue said this, she lowered her head and no longer looked at him.
