Chapter 211 Why is everyone siding with Chu Miao?
Wen Minhui immediately told Jiang Yuan to leave.
"Go back first. You can't stay at the Lu family anymore. I will find you a suitable place with a salary that won't be less than your current one."
No sooner had Jiang Yuan left than Lu Sili walked in.
Wen Minhui greeted them with a smile: "Second brother, An'an, why did you come back together? Wanwan missed you so much. Now that you're back, the whole family can be reunited!"
“Minhui, let me ask you, what’s going on with Jiang Yuan?” Lu Sili didn’t mince words and asked directly, “Was the scene he caused at Aimiao Group today at your behest?”
"You mean Jiang Yuan?" Wen Minhui tucked her hair behind her ear and said with some guilt, "He came back and apologized to me. He was indeed in the wrong today."
"His desire to make the birthday party a success was understandable. When he saw that the pearl necklace was fake, he got anxious and acted somewhat impulsively. I've already scolded him."
"It's a good thing you got there in time, otherwise it would have been really unfair to the Chu family."
She looked guilty, and her expression revealed no flaws.
Lu Sili stared at her coldly with his brown eyes. His voice was as gentle as ever, but the words were chillingly cold: "You mean, you were completely unaware of what happened at Aimiao Group today?"
“Aunt, that Jiang Yuan is one of your people,” Lu Lin’an said. “If it weren’t for your instructions, would he dare to be so arrogant today? Why are you targeting the Chu family?”
Wen Minhui seemed hurt by their words, staggering back a step, her eyes slightly red as she looked at them: "Do you think I wanted to harm the Chu family?"
"Second brother, An'an, we are family. We've been together day and night for so many years. How could you think of me like this?"
"Or is it that you never considered me family from the beginning..." She smiled bitterly, "That's true, after all, I was adopted. No matter how much time has passed, I was still adopted, and I'm not really family to you in the true sense."
She looked like she had suffered a great loss, and Lu Sili's heart softened a little.
After all, Wen Minhui was someone they had watched grow up since childhood, and they had spent more than 30 years together, so they had developed feelings for her.
“We’re just discussing the matter at hand. Why are you bringing this up?” He stepped forward, reached out, placed his hand on Wen Minhui’s back, and gently patted her to comfort her.
“Second brother, I really didn’t instruct Jiang Yuan to harm the Chu family.” Wen Minhui lowered her eyes: “Why would I need to? I have never had any grudges with the Chu family. Why would I go to such lengths to frame them? If I fail, I will also ruin the entire Lu family. The Lu family’s generations of good reputation will be destroyed in my hands.”
Why would I do that?
She spoke with utmost sincerity in every word.
“Aunt, if you have no grudges with the Chu family, then why did you deliberately hold a tea party and invite wealthy ladies, but deliberately leave Chu Miaomiao’s mother out in the pavilion to be exposed to the cold wind, and let Wanwan slap her? Does this seem like there are no grudges?” Lu Lin’an couldn’t bear to see Wen Minhui crying like this.
Just like the winding road.
They were talking to her peacefully!
Why is she crying?
It's like they're the ones bullying her!
In other words, Wen Minhui is her aunt and Lu Wanwan is her sister. She wouldn't tolerate their bad habits if it were anyone else.
Wen Minhui's expression froze slightly.
Unexpectedly, they even found out about this matter.
She hurriedly said, "This matter is indeed my fault. That Mrs. Chu is not well-regarded in wealthy families. People say she is unfilial to her mother-in-law and bullies her sisters-in-law. I value filial piety the most, so I felt resentful towards her after hearing these rumors."
“I didn’t want to see her, so I told her to go back, but she needed my help and wanted to get the opportunity to have her father’s birthday banquet organized by the Aimiao Group through my connections, so she kept refusing to leave.”
“Wanwan happened to be passing by and saw her.”
“Wanwan was close to the young lady from the second branch of the Chu family, and she knew about how Madam Chu bullied her mother, which is why she slapped her.”
"When I heard the news, I rushed over and was quite surprised. I sincerely apologized to Madam Chu and asked the doctor to examine her face, but Madam Chu was proud and left without seeing the doctor."
She spoke with great skill, managing to absolve herself of all responsibility in just a few words.
It's as if everything has nothing to do with her.
Lu Lin'an frowned deeply upon hearing this.
"Auntie, I'm not trying to be mean, but how could you be so harsh on someone just because of a rumor? You even slapped them! No wonder Miaomiao looks down on us like that. I used to think she had a bad temper, but now I think she doesn't have one at all. If anyone dared to slap my mom, I'd tear their house down!"
Lu Lin'an said unhappily, "Auntie, Chu Miaomiao is my friend, a very good person. I believe Madam Chu is also not a bad person. I met Madam Chu today, and she is a very gentle person. You hit her and didn't even apologize. How can you be so shameless! I hope you can take Wanwan and take the initiative to apologize to her!"
After saying that, Lu Lin'an didn't want to chat with her anymore and turned to leave.
“Minhui, I told you before that we can’t offend the Chu family. We still need their help.” Lu Sili looked at Wen Minhui with his brown eyes and said calmly, “Now you’ve completely offended them. Think carefully about how to make amends.”
……
Watching Lu Sili's departing figure, Wen Minhui could no longer pretend and plopped down in a chair.
His face was gloomy.
This was the first time in all these years that she had been scolded like this.
Ah.
They said they needed something from the Chu family?
Simply ridiculous!
Given the Lu family's status in the capital, how could they possibly need the help of a small family like the Chu family?
Lu Sili and Lu Lin'an's protective attitude towards the Chu family made her somewhat uneasy.
They're actually protecting the Chu family like this.
If they found out that Wen Li was the missing Lu Jiao...
Wen Minhui's heart was in her throat!
"aunt!"
But at this moment.
Another voice rang out!
Lu Cheng strode in.
His face was gloomy.
His expression was very unpleasant.
"Xiao Cheng?" Wen Minhui stood up from her chair and looked at him. "Did something happen? Why do you look so pale?"
"Aunt, why are you deliberately targeting Chu Miaomiao's mother?"
When Cheng Lu spoke up, he did so in defense of Chu Miao.
Wen Minhui: "?"
She could hardly believe her ears.
They came all this way just to interrogate me?!
Just like Lu Sili and Lu Lin'an, they all came for Chu Miao!
What exactly is Chu Miao's ability that makes so many members of the Lu family speak up for him?
