Suhi Wei felt guilty. It was obviously because of her that brought him this trouble, but in the end, he comforted her.
"Did Boss Lu misunderstand you?" The voice on the other end of the phone was still worried.
Suhi Wei did not want Xiang Yu to worry, so she laughed and said, "No, he knows that we are siblings."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, then he said, "It's good that there's no misunderstanding. Then I'll go handle things first, I'll contact you later."
"Alright." Suhi Wei hung up the phone and sighed.
Not long after he ended the call with Xiang Yu, his phone rang again.
Seeing that it was Zhu Miner, she roughly knew what she was going to say.
"Tianxiang, just what is going on here? You've suddenly become the center of attention in the entire city …" Zhu Miner gasped in surprise on the other end of the phone, but then continued worriedly, "However, this kind of focus would not benefit you at all. As your good sister, not only are you not proud of it, you might even have some face."
"I don't want to do this either …" She pouted, feeling wronged.
"Slight, even if you and Xiang Yu are like siblings, the outside world doesn't know, so you have to keep your distance." Zhu Miner reminded her on the other end of the phone.
Suhi Wei felt that Zhu Miner's words were reasonable, but thinking about how Xiang Yu had also been dragged into this matter, he felt extremely guilty.
After she hung up, she went to look at the news and found that it was gone.
It was amazing that nothing could be found, as if it had never happened.
Following that, Xiang Yu posted a clarification public that she was his sister, reprimanded the unscrupulous media for their fabrication, and even said that they would be held accountable.
It seemed like the media were afraid of responsibility, so they fearfully deleted the news.
Even if it was clarified, it would be hard to explain to Lu Family. That afternoon, Old Master Lu and Old Granny came to Lu’s Yard.
At that time, Lu Zhiyuan was not home, but when Jiang Jie told her, they were already sitting in the living room.
"Grandpa, grandma." Suhi Wei greeted politely.
The Old Granny nodded benevolently, and Old Master Lu acted the same as last time, with a calm face, as if he did not want to bother with her.
The situation was a little awkward. Suhi Wei stood in front of the two elders like a child who had done something wrong.
"Little girl, sit down." The old lady opened her mouth to break the deadlock.
The moment Suhi Wei sat down, the Old Master Lu flustered and exasperated: "Suhi Wei, right? I don't know what tricks you used to get our Zhi Yuan to marry you, but I have to remind you, our Lu Family values our family's style. If your style isn't good, then you better leave Zhi Yuan's side.
"Old man, didn't we discuss this when we arrived? "Why are you so fierce?" The old lady beside him reminded him worriedly.
Old Master Lu said in a bad mood, "Her date with another man is already on the headlines, and now that all the servants in Lu Family are talking about it, it's hard for me to ignore them!"
The old lady was in a difficult situation. After thinking about it, she also felt that Suhi Wei had brought a bad influence to the Lu Family, so she did not speak up for her anymore.
"Honestly speaking, no matter whether it's your family background or your own conditions, none of them qualify to be the young mistress of Lu Family, Zhiyuan has already married you, and there's nothing I can do to oppose it. But please remember, our Lu Family is in G City, or even the entire business world, and that's all there is to it. Old Master Lu felt that he had already given her a lot of face.
Suhi Wei bit her lower lip, feeling anxious.
"Don't bring the bad habits of you poor people into Lu Family!" "If you want money, then report it to me. I will transfer the money to you and you can go as far away as you can!"
In that moment, the anger in Suhi Wei's heart was ignited, she who had been suppressing her emotions, was finally unable to resist and tried to refute, "Grandfather, are the words of you rich people so unpleasant to hear?"
Old Master Lu's expression changed, "What, are you not convinced?"
"I'm not convinced." Suhi Wei felt that there was no need to hold back and swallow her unpleasant words, "Don't tell me that without money, you will be trampled on by the rich?"
The old lady also felt that Old Master Lu's words were a little harsh, so she reminded him in a small voice, "Old man, this girl is Zhiyuan's daughter-in-law after all, she's now one of our Lu Family. Don't speak too harshly."
Old Master Lu ignored the old lady's words and took Suhi Wei's words, "It's fine if you don't want to be trampled on, but you have to rely on yourself. Don't keep us at arm's length for money!"
"I've already investigated, your mother's treatment is paid for by Zhiyuan. Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so unsatisfied and marry into our Lu Family, and look at yourself!" After the Old Master Lu finished speaking, he stood up and warned, "If such morally corrupt news happens again in the future, you have to take responsibility for the consequences!"
Moral corruption? She and Xiang Yu were as close as siblings, and furthermore, she did not do anything to embarrass herself, yet she was told by him to such an extent …
"Grandfather, if this is your teachings as an elder, Xi Wei will gladly accept it; if it is your insults, Xi Wei will not accept it." Suhi Wei stood up and expressed her attitude, "I admit that Zhiyuan helped me pay for my mother's medical expenses, but that was Zhiyuan's voluntary act.
"Heh, he can lift me up just by opening his mouth?" The Old Master Lu scoffed, "Any one of the matchmaking dates my family arranged for Zhiyuan would be able to dump you by a few hundred blocks. If you want to refute my words, you have to have the ability to do so!"
"Then Grandpa should also understand that just relying on one mouth to scold others isn't necessarily enough." I heard that when the Old Master Lu took over, the Lu Group was just a small, unknown company. After Lu Yangxiu took over, it expanded step by step, but like in the industry, it was not top-notch.
Old Master Lu was speechless for a long time after hearing her words.
She didn't want to contradict the old man, but he made her feel bad.
If he didn't make a sound, he would be treated like a mute.
He was the same as Shen Yin, using the name of a rich person to trample on the self-esteem of people weaker than him.
"Alright, old man, we're almost done. Let's go back." The Old Granny's feelings towards Suhi Wei were a little complicated.
He felt that this girl wasn't someone who was submissive. However, it wasn't good for her to be too unyielding …
"Grandpa, grandma, please take care." Suhi Wei escorted them to the door.
The old lady waved to her, and the old man left without looking back, supported by the driver.
Suhi Wei leaned on the door and took a deep breath.
It was hard for her to not think about what Old Master Lu had just said.
Especially that sentence, if you want to avoid being trampled on, then you have to be self-reliant.
She looked at the opulence in front of her and felt ethereal and unfamiliar.
People in the outside world would think that she was Lu Zhiyuan's wife, but in reality, even she herself could not explain just what kind of relationship she had with Lu Zhiyuan.
