Chapter 18：Embarrassed Themselves in Front of Old Madam

Everyone was muttering about the lady in black.

They all thought that Lu Qinghao was so brave to bring his new love to attend old Mrs. Lu's banquet. In the end—when they took a closer look, they realized that it was Lu Qinghao's sister, Lu Zhiyi.

Lu Zhiyi was dressed like a slut; she was wearing a black dress that looked just like something a porn star who made the headlines would wear, causing everyone to shake their heads at her.

Was this woman out of her mind? How could she wear this to attend Old Madam's birthday celebration? Did she think that this was some sleazy outside place?

"Today is Granny Lu's birthday. Of course, I must come earlier." Tang Xinluo looked at Lu Zhiyi sarcastically before replying to Lu Qinghao.

Even if she had vengeance in her heart, she would not quarrel with Lu Qinghao in front of Old Madam. It was not that she did not dare, she was not willing to. This was Granny Lu's birthday celebration; she could not ruin Granny Lu's good mood because of her selfishness.

If there was anything wrong, she would only tell Granny Lu after the birthday celebration was over.

Lu Qinghao smiled. "I know you're very filial so you'll definitely come earlier. Granny… today is your birthday celebration so Xinluo and I are here to wish you well. Oh, this is my sister, Zhiyi. This is my mother. They had met you before at my wedding with Xinluo. She always wanted to see you and witness for herself, your elegance. Now that they could meet you again, it is their blessing."

Lu Qinghao was not humiliated at all by his bootlicking words. He used Tang Xinluo to push the revealing Lu Zhiyi and Gong Xuemei, who could not be recognized, in front of old Mrs. Lu.

Even though the old madam had a good impression of Lu Qinghao, she did not care for the mother and daughter.

This time, she only talked to them casually in consideration of Tang Xinluo. Coincidentally, other people came to give her well wishes so she asked them to leave.

Tang Xinluo wanted to speak with Granny Lu further, but Lu Qinghao stopped her. She could not shake him off, no matter how hard she tried.

It was inconvenient for her to quarrel with Lu Qinghao in front of Granny Lu so she could only hold it in and find another chance to do so after the banquet.

At this time, Lu Qinghao dragged her out of the circle around Old Madam. Once she was away from the crowd, she rudely pulled her hand back from Lu Qinghao's clutches which had already turned red.

"Tang Xinluo… I didn't expect this. You look pretty decent when you take off your glasses." At this point, the two of them were standing at a corner of the banquet hall. Gong Xuemei and Lu Zhiyi did not care about them and were talking to the other socialites.

"Whether I look good or not, it's none of Mr. Lu's business." Tang Xinluo did not even want to talk much to Lu Qinghao who had betrayed her.

"Lu Qinghao, I'll tell you straight up. It's either we part ways peacefully and divorce through the normal procedures. That way, even if Old Madam knows about it, I'll just tell her that our personalities don't match; and she won't follow up on the matter. If not, after the banquet, I'll visit Old Madam and tell her everything. By that time—if you and your greedy mother want my Tang Enterprise shares, you would have to ask Old Madam if she agrees."

Her stance was thin, and she could only lean back on Old Mrs. Lu's love for her.

Now that she was pushed to the cliff by Lu Qinghao's family, she could only use Old Madam to save her.

"You… don't be reckless." There was anxiety written all over Lu Qinghao's face. "Let me consider for a while."
