“We’ve been husband and wife for so many years. My glory is also your glory, and my success is also your success.” At this moment, Lu Guo’s expression suddenly softened. He took a step forward and grabbed Mrs. Lu’s hand. With a gentle expression, he said, “I’ll definitely complete that project and let you live a better life. Trust me.”
“Lu Guo, I don’t want to lead a better life.” Mrs. Lu’s eyes were slightly red. All these years, her life had been rather smooth. Although Lu Guo was a little chauvinistic, he treated her quite well. He had always kept his reputation clean and did not have any women outside. He even gave her a good life. The two of them raised their two children together and their relationship had always been very good. She could not help but hold Lu Guo’s hand and said with reddened eyes, “I’m satisfied as long as our family can live a peaceful life. Lu Guo, stop your losses now. You’re still in your prime, we still have a chance.” She paused for a moment and then said with a sincere tone, “In my heart, you’re ten thousand times better than Lu Ze. You don’t need to win him in this event.”
Mrs. Lu was sincere and she choked with sobs as she spoke. However, Lu Guo’s expression changed instantly when he heard what she said. He flung his hand away and said, “You don’t believe I can do it, do you? You don’t believe me, but you believe in that trash Lu Ze?”
Mrs. Lu was flabbergasted and subconsciously denied, “I didn’t mean it that way!”
“Then why don’t you support me?” Lu Guo’s face twisted as he stepped forward. “Don’t you know how important this project is to me?”
Looking at Lu Guo’s crazed and stubborn expression, fear crept into Mrs. Lu’s heart. She knew that Lu Guo had gone to a dead end. He had to give it a try. He would not allow himself to fail. He could only succeed!
“But…!” Mrs. Lu tried to persuade her again. “If the bank doesn’t approve our loans, we can’t continue to invest, right? ”
“If the bank doesn’t approve it, we’ll raise the money ourselves!” Ruthlessness flashed in Lu Guo’s eyes as he held Mrs. Lu’s hand again. “All these years, you’ve taken a lot of money to help your maiden home. Now that my family is in a crisis, shouldn’t your family help me? Don’t worry, treat it as if I’m borrowing the money from you and I’ll return it.” As he said this, he softened his voice and said, “I don’t want to let go of this opportunity. Did you see how those people tried to please you before? I want you to be fawn over by others, and I want you to live in a high position. I also want to leave more family businesses for Lu Shaoyang.”
Mrs. Lu’s expression wavered. If she had never possessed it, she might not have been so easily moved. However, she had already tasted the sweetness of rising in status some time ago and knew what it was like to be flattered. Those noble ladies who were usually extremely cold to her all treated her with great affection, which made her very happy. Moreover, as long as she could endure this period of time, all of this would be within her reach.
Sensing Mrs. Lu’s hesitation, Lu Guo continued to bewitch her, “Who am I working so hard for now? It’s all because of you and Shaoyang. Shaoyang was beaten up by Ji Yan at the engagement party, and I was humiliated and ridiculed by Ji Yan on the wedding day. I still feel terrible when I think about it. You can ignore me, but can you bear to see your son always be inferior to others and be bullied forever?” He lowered his voice, “As parents, don’t we wish for our children to have a good life?”
Mrs. Lu was already almost convinced, but now that Lu Guo mentioned Lu Shaoyang, she was totally convinced. Lu Shaoyang was her son. As a mother, she felt very bad that she could only swallow her anger when she saw Lu Shaoyang being beaten. Finally, Mrs. Lu made up her mind and gritted her teeth. “Alright, I’ll go back to my parents” home tomorrow!”
Did she agree? Lu Guo was overjoyed. He held Mrs. Lu’s hand and said, “With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!”
“It’s just that you know the situation of my maiden family.” Mrs. Lu’s mind calmed down a little. “I’m afraid it’s not enough to just rely on my family’s money.”
“That’s why I said that Lu Shaoyang has been out of line recently.” Lu Guo sighed and shook his head. “At this time, Lu Family and Su Family are still in-laws, so we should help each other. How could Su Ling be happy when Shaoyang is like this?”
Was he trying to make Su Ling take the initiative to go back to the Su Family and ask her parents for help? Madam Lu’s eyes flickered. This was only right.
