The lady continued: “Third Uncle, you can’t blame us. We don’t usually have a say in the Lu family. Sister-in-law Shi Yu is such a strong person. She has the final say in Shang’s family. Wouldn’t offending her make Junqin’s life even more difficult? Besides, Shang Chi didn’t do it on purpose. I know him well. This must have been an accident. My child Qi’er is still helping out in his company, and he’s taking good care of him.”
The Qi’er the lady was referring to was her son Lu Qi, who was twenty-three years old this year, two years older than Lu Qingyan.
After going abroad to get a bachelor’s degree, he was arranged to work in Shang’s company and asked to lead the business.
After he finished his studies, he was given a company to run to see if he could succeed.
Old Mr. Lu looked at them coldly.
There are only three brothers in Old Mr. Lu’s generation. He is the third oldest and the youngest of his generation.
His two older brothers had passed away.
There are also several nephews and nieces who all work in Lu’s branch companies. They are not very capable, but they are very ambitious.
Lu Qi was notoriously dissolute. He had no real ability, but was a playboy. He had almost squandered all of their family’s wealth.
Old Mr. Lu didn’t want to keep termites, so he explicitly ordered the couple to move Lu Qi somewhere else and not let him bring harm to the Lu family. As a result, they set their sights on Shang.
They even ignored the fact that their own daughter was being abused and even concealed it.
If this incident hadn’t been so serious, Lu Qingyan, who would have been handling official business in his villa halfway up the mountain and receiving a call from Jiang Nanshu, wouldn’t have woken him up and explained the whole story.
“Ridiculous! Look at what Shang Chi did to the woman. You raised your daughter with so much trouble, and now she’s hurt like this. You don’t feel sorry for her and don’t seek justice for her? You’re still here speaking for the abuser. If this gets out, how will others look at our Lu family? They’ll say we can’t even protect our married daughter. Who would want to marry into our Lu family? I think it’s best to let Junqin divorce Shang Chi.”
Old Mr. Lu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at them.
The middle-aged man’s face was pale and timid.
“But if this gets out, it won’t be good for our reputation. How about we settle it privately? I’ll have Shang Chi write a letter of guarantee. As long as Junqin forgives him, the two of them can live happily together again. If she gets divorced, who in the wealthy circle would want a divorced woman with children? Besides, Xu Xu is still young. If he were to be without a mother, wouldn’t it be pitiful?”
Jiang Nanshu watched them quarrel as a bystander.
Through the crack of the ward door, Jiang Nanshu saw Lu Junqin’s pale face.
She was so numb that she didn’t even feel sad.
No wonder she was abused for five years. Even with such a powerful family as the Lu family, the truth was kept secret.
This may also be due to her own parents.
Maybe they love their daughter, but in their hearts, it is not as important as finding a career for their son who can carry on the family line.
“Heh, it’s really funny. Is the son so important? This reminds me of my dear brother in another world. I sent him to a mental hospital and locked him up for seven or eight years. He was tortured to death and went crazy. Tsk.”
She also lived in a family that favored boys over girls.
Her biological parents treated her like a beast of burden.
Whenever her brother cried or was hungry, it was her fault, and she would be beaten.
“How disgusting! These scumbags should all be burned to death.”
Lu Qingyan pursed his lips.
From Jiang Nanshu’s one-sided voice, he understood that the world she lived in was not friendly to her.
