Tu Meijiao also didn’t dare to breathe heavily, causing trouble for no reason!
Lu Beichen continued, "If you also think Aunt Hui is not qualified to be the mistress of the Lu Family, and you can’t stand it, you can move out anytime. The Lu Family won’t stop being the top family just because one or two people are missing, and YT International certainly won’t lose a penny of profit because of any of you leaving!"
His words completely cut off all their struggles! The implication was that once they left the Lu Family, they shouldn’t expect to secure a foothold at YT International.
Lu Xinguo quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Beichen, don’t be angry. Your second aunt is just hard to listen to when she talks. It’s not as you think. That girl Yingying really gave her heart to the wrong person. We’ll comfort her well, so don’t worry, right?"
His words showed regret for Tu Yingying’s situation, but he didn’t dare say more. He nudged Tu Meijiao to signal her to stop, but Tu Meijiao turned her face away without a word.
Lu Beichen’s lips curled into a smile, "Why would I be angry? As long as Aunt Hui and Mrs. Lu feel it’s fine!"
Zhang Huiqin smiled, "We’re all one family, I don’t mind!"
Ji Niandong also echoed, "It’s indeed a blessing to marry Beichen, surely many will be unsatisfied, envious, and jealous. Because of this, I don’t want to rush into a wedding that the whole world will know about. Life is lived for oneself, not for others to see. As long as we’re happy ourselves!"
She had been sitting quietly on the side, and everyone thought she was the type to be easily bullied, but unexpectedly she calmly made this statement.
She handled it better than Li Siru, who has been in the family for two or three years.
Tu Meijiao, in her heart, made a comparison, and she was even more satisfied with her daughter-in-law, thinking what use is a lady from a distinguished family compared to the daughter of an ordinary person!
"Enough!" Lu Qingyuan pondered for a moment, "This family is still run by me, Lu Qingyuan, so everyone should stay in their place! Tongtong is right, life is lived for oneself, family harmony is more important than anything!"
Silence fell, and no one spoke again!
Until the housekeeper Lu came in and said, "Miss Tu has arrived!"
Tu Meijiao immediately stood up, "Why has Yingying come? That silly girl!" She hurriedly followed the housekeeper Lu out to greet her niece.
Lu Sinian mumbled unhappily, "Aunt Tu is here again! I really don’t want to see her!" He tugged Ji Niandong’s hand, "Sister Tongtong, come with me to the backyard to play, there’s a particularly beautiful Akita dog named Jiu Jiu there!"
"Akita dog?" Ji Niandong got interested at once. Back when she watched "Hachi: A Dog’s Tale," she was incredibly moved by Hachi and had been wishing to have an Akita dog, but in reality, she didn’t have much patience for animals; she would treasure it only if someone else cleaned it thoroughly.
Seeing her interest piqued, Lu Sinian grew more enthusiastic, "Let’s go, let’s go, Sister Tongtong, I’ll take you there right now!"
He pulled Ji Niandong towards the backyard, and Ji Niandong had to stand up, greet everyone briefly, and follow Lu Sinian out.
When Tu Yingying came in, she didn’t see the person she wanted to meet. Her gaze fell directly on Lu Beichen, carrying a hint of sorrow.
It was clear she had indeed cried and looked a little weary.
Though usually quite aggressive, she was now dressed neatly, with long curly hair draped over her waist, her sorrowful little face looked even more pitiable than usual.
"Uncle Lu, Aunt Hui, hello!" She greeted politely, her voice softened by a few degrees.
