Chapter 21 I Treat You Better Than My Own Daughter

This was the first time Lu Yao had retorted Song Qinglian so fiercely. In the past, she had always listened to the other party. Even if she did not agree with the other party sometimes, she would at most not listen and would never refute.

A strange light flashed in Song Qinglian’s eyes. It seemed that Lu Yao had really changed drastically as her daughter had said!

She’d been watching since she came through the door. That careful look in her eyes and the caution was long gone, not to mention the other party’s original sensitivity and paranoia about the Lu family. Now, she seemed to really be the master of the Lu family. Her attitude was unbridled and arrogant, not caring about her appearance at all.

Song Qinglian’s eyes were filled with tears as she said in disbelief, “Yaoyao, how can you say that about me? I’ve worked so hard for the Lu family for so many years. Even if I didn’t make any contributions, I’ve worked hard. After you came back, I’ve always been obedient to you. I’ve treated you better than my own daughter!”

Although Song Qinglian was already in her fifties, she still looked pitiful with tears in her eyes. If others saw this, they would think that Lu Yao had bullied her.

Lu Yu couldn’t stand others criticizing Lu Yao in front of him. He frowned and looked at Song Qinglian, his tone filled with undisguised displeasure. “We were just joking. You don’t have to make such a fuss,

right?”

Song Qinglian had long known that Lu Yu was a protective demon. The three of them, the Lu father and sons, indulged Lu Yao. No matter what Lu Yao did wrong, they would side with her and protect her for no reason.

She had originally wanted to use this opportunity to sow discord between the two of them and curry favor with Lu Yu. She did not expect this little brat to be so ungrateful and talk back to her in front of so many people.

Song Qinglian looked like she couldn’t hold it in anymore. Tears fell from her eyes. “Ah Yu…”

“I’ve told you many times! Don’t call me Ah Yu!”

Lu Yu saw Song Qinglian’s pretentious expression and couldn’t be bothered to hide his impatience. “You just need to take care of yourself and Song Miaomiao in this house. As for my sister, my father said that he and my brother won’t interfere in her matters, let alone you.”

Lu Yu said every word seriously. After saying that, he walked away from Song Qinglian, looking like he didn’t want to talk to her. It wasn’t easy for him to have a chance to chat with Lu Yao after she returned home. Why didn’t Song Qinglian have any sense? Who did she think she was! She really thought she was a dish!

Lu Yu’s expression was dark. His face clearly said: I’m very unhappy.

Song Qinglian looked even more aggrieved and sad. “What are you saying?! Your father would never say such a thing!”

“You can call Father now to verify it and hear him personally inform you,” Lu Yu said unhappily. He was unwilling to say another word to this woman.

Hearing this, Song Qinglian forgot to pretend to be aggrieved in her panic. She frowned with a strange look in her eyes.

After Lu Yao returned to the Lu family, she was the one who decided everything for them. Even the communication with her father and brothers was replaced by her. It was precisely because of this opportunity that she could naturally sow discord in the middle

She knew very well how important Lu Yao was to the Lu family. As soon as Lu Yao returned home, the father and son gave her a full 20% of the shares.

Now, she was suddenly not allowed to control Lu Yao. Had they discovered something?

Song Qinglian quickly recalled everything that had happened since Lu Yao’s return. The reason why Lu Yao was regarded as an illegitimate daughter by outsiders was that her return had never been made public in front of everyone. The reason why it was not made public was also because she had told Lu Yao that the company’s current situation was not very good. Any small matter would cause the stock to plummet. Especially since she had been at the chaotic border for so many years, everyone would talk about her behind her back, including the entire Lu family. This would definitely affect the company.

At that time, the Lu family’s many years of foundation might collapse.

That was why Lu Yao rejected the press conference that the Lu father and sons were holding.

Hence, she took this opportunity to arrange for her daughter to mention Lu Yao’s matters at the border in the rich circle. She said that Lu Yao was promiscuous and seduced men. She also stayed with some people who burned, killed, and plundered. She was an out-and-out bad person.
