Chapter 322: Chapter 320: Do You Have Another Dog Outside?!
"Am I not acting just as you taught me before? I was to obey my parents at home, and to obey my husband after getting married. You are no longer my parents, and we have no relationship, so I don’t understand why I should still agree to your demands."
She spoke every sentence that stabbed deeply into Mr. and Mrs. Lu’s hearts.
Leaving them speechless.
These were indeed the teachings Cao Mei and Lu Dagui had always used to make Lu Zhaozhao obedient.
But who knew she would be acknowledged by her biological parents?
Zhao Xi, sitting in the driver’s seat, watched Lu Zhaozhao face both of them alone and couldn’t help but applaud her silently.
Indeed, she was their Mr.’s wife, striking right at the heart with a single sentence.
Not only did she use their past lessons to block their demands, but she also made them regret having once driven her out of the Lu Family.
After all, Lu Zhaozhao’s implication seemed to be telling them that if she hadn’t left the Lu Family, she would still be their obedient daughter, always listening to them.
She would have agreed to any of their requests.
A mortal blow to the heart.
Lu Zhaozhao saw Cao Mei and Lu Dagui’s expressions turn very ugly, recalling how Xia Wenjin had always tried to poison Mr. and Mrs. Lu against her.
Suddenly, she entertained the idea of giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Lu Zhaozhao sighed lightly, "I never thought that the parents who raised me for twenty years would dislike me so much; initially, my parents wanted to visit the Lu family, but I never expected things would end up like this..."
Cao Mei and Lu Dagui were briefly stunned, then they heard her ask, "What terrible things had I done in the past?"
Both of them carefully thought about it and indeed found nothing; they had always known that Lu Zhaozhao was not their biological daughter, hence the scant affection.
It was after Xia Wenjin returned home and assertively claimed that the Xia Family was mistreating her that they decided to retaliate in kind.
"Ah! If there hadn’t been any misunderstanding, perhaps our three families could have gotten along well, what a pity..."
As soon as Lu Zhaozhao finished speaking, Cao Mei quickly took over, "We can still get along well now, our three families..."
"It’s impossible now, my parents are very angry about the past, and Mr. Song, even more so, which is why..." Lu Zhaozhao’s voice trailed off toward the end.
She looked directly at them for a moment, then continued, "I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t keep you any longer."
With that, she left without looking back.
Cao Mei watched Lu Zhaozhao’s departing figure, sinking dejectedly to the ground.
She always felt that things shouldn’t be like this.
Although the Lu Family hadn’t been extremely wealthy before, they had a reputable name in the Shangjing Circle.
Even buoyed by the support of the Song Family, they had been prominent in the Shangjing Circle for a time.
But when exactly did the Lu Family begin its decline?
Was it since Xia Wenjin returned?
Lu Dagui glanced at Cao Mei sitting on the ground and said disgustedly, "Won’t you stand up, waiting to be laughed at by others?"
"Sir, since Zhaozhao won’t help us, what should we do?" Cao Mei, confused by recent debt-collection calls, was somewhat disoriented.
If the Lu Group couldn’t gather the funds within a week, they would have to declare bankruptcy.
Lu Dagui snorted lightly, "Lu Zhaozhao is just an ingrate; she talks nicely but still refuses to help, doesn’t she?"
Cao Mei, brainwashed by Lu Zhaozhao’s recent words, frowned deeply and mumbled, "If we had not driven Zhaozhao away earlier, for Zhaozhao’s sake, Song Sinian wouldn’t have let the Lu Family face troubles; after all, we represented Zhaozhao in the Shangjing Circle..."
"..."
Lu Dagui fell into sudden silence.
Because Cao Mei was right.
Even if Song Sinian hated their family, as long as Lu Zhaozhao was in the Lu Family, Song Sinian wouldn’t stand by and watch her perish.
Song Sinian was almost entirely obedient to Lu Zhaozhao, and Lu Zhaozhao was completely compliant with them.
Lu Dagui clenched his teeth angrily, how had he thought of outright discarding such a trump card back then?
"Now thinking about it is useless, just wait. The upcoming gala dinner with the cooperation of Song Group and XJ Group, the president of XJ Group will also come. By then I will discuss the Lu Family’s overseas orders with them, and let them inject funds into the Lu Family, it should work."
Lu Dagui narrowed his eyes, watching the direction in which Lu Zhaozhao had disappeared.
Once their Lu Family turned things around, he’d thoroughly deal with these two unfilial daughters!
Of course, Lu Zhaozhao had no idea about Lu Dagui’s thoughts, but seeing Mr. and Mrs. Lu’s teeth-gritting expressions as she left just now, she felt quite thrilled.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Suddenly, Lu Zhaozhao’s phone vibrated.
She thought it was Song Sinian, who was anxiously waiting at the hotel, so she immediately took out her phone.
Unexpectedly, the caller was not Song Sinian, but—Xu Zhenzhen.
Lu Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow in confusion and answered the call, "Hello? Zhenzhen?"
"Zhaozhao, ’Saving a life creates more merit than building a seven-layer pagoda’... You have to save me! It’s extremely urgent!"
Xu Zhenzhen’s voice almost carried a cry.
Lu Zhaozhao’s heart clenched, "Don’t panic, what’s the matter? Take it slow."
She had just arrived at the drama crew’s rest room and stood still without moving.
Thinking about how Xu Zhenzhen suddenly disappeared abroad in her past life, she felt awful.
She began to worry about what to do if she couldn’t stop Xu Zhenzhen.
She decided to sit down on the sofa in the rest room, prepared for a prolonged discussion with Xu Zhenzhen.
Just as Lu Zhaozhao was internally struggling, Xu Zhenzhen’s voice came through again.
"Zhaozhao, can you teach me how to choose an evening dress?"
"??? What the heck?!" Lu Zhaozhao jumped up from the couch.
All this worry, and it was just to pick an evening dress?
Lu Zhaozhao pressed her temples with her hand, realizing she had been overthinking things.
Hearing Lu Zhaozhao’s reaction, Xu Zhenzhen immediately said in a pitiful tone, "Sis, I can only rely on you! Dear Zhaozhao, you definitely won’t abandon me, right?"
Lu Zhaozhao’s lips twitched, "You... just try on a few, and you’ll find the right one."
"..."
There was a sudden silence over the phone.
After a long while, a reply came, "Listening to your advice is like hearing a golden truth."
"Pfft—"
Lu Zhaozhao was amused by Xu Zhenzhen and sighed helplessly, "How about this, I’ll go with you to pick an evening dress, how..."
"It’s not necessary, not necessary, I just wanted to know how to choose..." Xu Zhenzhen interrupted before Lu Zhaozhao could finish.
Lu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, "Xu Zhenzhen! Is there another dog around you?!"
Other·Xia Wenqing·Dog: Meow meow meow?
