807 What Nonsense Are You Talking About?
“Nuannuan, why are you siding with an outsider?” Lu Shaoyang frowned. “It’s not like we don’t want to pay. It’s just for an emergency. To put it bluntly, the Su family is selfish and doesn’t treat us as family.”
For emergency? If the Lu Corporation went bankrupt, how would they repay the Su Family? Lu Nuannuan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she couldn’t. She had witnessed how despicable her family was, and for a moment, she felt it was absurd.
“No matter what, you still have to win over Su Ling. You can’t let her be disappointed in you.” Mrs. Lu’s eyes were cold as she tried to persuade Lu Shaoyang, “Su Ling is your wife, and she’s also our family’s only hope. You can’t let your emotions affect your decisions at this time.”
Lu Shaoyang was still reluctant, but he could not say no when he saw the anticipation and eagerness on Mrs. Lu’s face and Lu Guo’s white hair.
“Alright, I’ll go.” Lu Shaoyang wiped his face and went upstairs, bearing the humiliation. Looking at Lu Shaoyang’s back, Lu Nuannuan felt ridiculous. “Mom, dad, can’t we just sell our shares and reduce the loss? When the company goes bankrupt, even if we can’t live as well as we do now, we’ll at least have some money left, right?” She asked carefully. The Lu Corporation owed the bank loans. After declaring bankruptcy and auctioning off their assets, they would not be desperate. At the very least, they would still have a house and some money left. Even if they could not continue to live a luxurious life, they would at least be able to ensure they had enough to eat.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know how much money we’ll lose if the stock goes in and out? ” Lu Guo’s expression suddenly changed. He growled, “Don’t spout nonsense if you don’t know anything. What bankruptcy? The Lu Corporation will never go bankrupt!”
Mrs. Lu’s face was full of disapproval as well. “Nuannuan, if you don’t know about business, stop causing trouble. What bankruptcy? Don’t say such inauspicious things.” Their faces were filled with determination as if they didn’t even consider this choice. Lu Nuannuan knew this would be the result, but she couldn’t help but lower her eyes and say bitterly, “Mom, dad…” She paused for a while and asked with a bit of hope, “Uncle has been alone all these years. Has he never thought of finding another woman to live with?”
“How would we know about Lu Feng’s matter? He can do whatever he wants. What does it have to do with our family?” Lu Guo said in an unpleasant tone.
“Then, what happened to his wife and children?” Lu Nuannuan bit her lip and asked with hesitation, “Was the fire that year really an accident?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Who asked you to ask this?” Lu Guo was furious and slammed the table. “Who told you this? Is it your uncle?” His face was ferocious, and his eyes were protruding. He was particularly terrifying.
Mrs. Lu’s eyes flickered, but she forced herself to calm down and said, “Nuannuan, why are you asking this? It’s been so many years. Why are you still talking about it? If your uncle heard this, he would be sad again.”
They were her parents, after all. How could Lu Nuannuan not see the guilt beneath their angry faces? The truth of the matter was obvious. Lu Nuannuan’s heart turned cold. After a while, she laughed bitterly. “In your eyes, I’m probably a simple fool.” She didn’t ask any further. Since her family didn’t want her to care, she didn’t care anymore. She would face it with them no matter what happened to her family. Mrs. Ji was right. Since she had enjoyed so many years of wealth and glory, she should return it. She wasn’t innocent.
Lu Nuannuan turned around and went upstairs silently, leaving Lu Guo yelling at the back, “Did you hear what she just said? Rebellious! Each of them is so troublesome!”
In the room, Lu Shaoyang looked at Su Ling, who threw clothes into the suitcase. He took a deep breath. “Su Ling, how long do you want to cause a scene?” He tried hard to calm his breathing, and his voice sounded slightly tired. “We’re husband and wife. Must we quarrel to this extent?”
“Did I want to become like this?” Su Ling turned her head around, her face full of tears. “It’s fine if you liked Shen Hanxing in the past, but I’m your wife now, and we have a child. Do you know how sad I feel when you think of me this way?”
