Song Lanzhi was pulled down, and she almost fell on her back.
After steadying herself, she immediately looked displeased at Lu Zixing, who had suddenly returned to China.
“What’s wrong with you, child? Is this how you bully your elders?”
Lu Zixing was the orphaned son of Lu Yuan’s younger brother.
Ten years ago, Lu Zixing’s parents were unfortunately killed in a car accident, leaving behind only Lu Zixing.
Song Lanzhi’s relationship with Lu Zixing’s mother was not good, even a bit strained, so she didn’t care much for him during the years she helped take care of him, and often made sarcastic remarks. She looked down on him from the bottom of her heart.
Three years ago, Lu Zixing couldn’t stand such a life, so he directly went to study at a university abroad.
Lu Zixing noticed An Xia’s stiff limbs, so he didn’t dare to move her easily, and turned his head coldly to look at Song Lanzhi.
“I just don’t want my sister-in-law to be bullied by you anymore.”
Just by looking at Song Lanzhi’s attitude towards him over the years, Lu Zixing could guess how Song Lanzhi usually bullied An Xia.
Especially after seeing his uncle Lu Yuan watching from upstairs, and the servants on the side turning a blind eye to the situation, Lu Zixing could know how difficult An Xia’s life had been in recent years.
Outsiders see their lives in these wealthy families as easy and comfortable, but only they themselves know that rich people are just rich, and their bad character will not change because of more or less money.
“You really have a mother but no upbringing, and now you dare to openly talk back to your elders. Do you believe I’ll—”
“What will you do?”
Song Lanzhi’s threatening words were interrupted by the late arrival of the old Madam Lu.
Seeing her usually strict mother-in-law, Song Lanzhi instantly became honest.
“After Xiuhua passed away, Zixing has been taught and raised by you. Now you say that Zixing has no upbringing, then are you saying that you have been derelict in your duty all these years, and you don’t care about him at all, so he is like this.”
The old lady’s two light questions instantly shut Song Lanzhi’s mouth.
“Mom, I…”
The old Madam Lu walked to An Xia’s side, saw the various sizes of wounds on her face and body, and her serious face instantly softened, feeling extremely distressed.
“Child, you’ve suffered.”
Then she quickly asked people to invite the family doctor, and asked Lu Zixing to call an ambulance.
Turning her head to look at Song Lanzhi, who had shrunk into a quail, the old lady’s eyes showed a layer of anger.
“What mistake did she make that you have to treat her like this! This is the princess we have raised since she was a child, and also your own daughter-in-law! I think you are really getting more and more confused as you live!”
Song Lanzhi was not convinced.
“It’s her who always uses tricks to deceive Beichuan, causing Beichuan not to come back! It’s implicated our Jingyang to recover so slowly, and his condition may even worsen.”
“According to you, since Beichuan doesn’t believe Xia Xia, why didn’t you call Beichuan yourself to ask him to come back. He doesn’t believe Xia Xia, but he can’t not believe you, right?”
The old lady’s eyes were bright and clear, and she was not easily fooled by Song Lanzhi.
“Also, you know better than me why Jingyang is sick, is his condition really worsened because Xia Xia didn’t appease him in time?”
Song Lanzhi’s expression panicked. Although she hid it very quickly, An Xia still noticed it.
“Mom, we are talking about this jinx, why are you talking about other things.”
“She is An Xia! She is the adopted daughter of our Lu family! She is the daughter-in-law of our Lu family! Not some jinx!” The old lady was completely angry this time.
She waved the rosewood cane and pointed at Lu Yuan, who was still watching the show on the second floor as if it was none of his business.
“If you can’t control your wife, then I can only send her to be reformed properly. So that she doesn’t have a clear head all day long.”
The fire burned to his feet, and Lu Yuan knew he was anxious, so he quickly came down to persuade her.
“Mom, Lanzhi is also confused by anger. Don’t be so serious with her.”
“She’s not just angry, I think her brain has been confused all her life!” The old lady’s anger was hard to quell.
The ambulance arrived in time. After the accompanying doctor roughly confirmed that An Xia was unable to move due to a spinal fracture, the old lady glared at Song Lanzhi again.
She instructed Lu Zixing: “You follow to the hospital first and take good care of your sister-in-law. I still have to clean up these unhealthy guys at home.”
Grandma had always been fair and serious since she was a child. Since she had spoken, Lu Zixing had no worries, nodded and agreed.
The ambulance drove away, and the old lady’s face completely cooled down.
“She fractured her spine and couldn’t even move in order to take care of your son, and you still treat her like this! Do you have a heart!”
Song Lanzhi hummed: “But she didn’t say it.”
“You beat her and scolded her like that, how do you want her to say it!”
The old lady was so angry that she couldn’t stand it. If Aunt Liu hadn’t brought the surveillance video from the living room to report, she wouldn’t have thought that Song Lanzhi was such a bad person in private.
She raised her cane and pointed at Song Lanzhi repeatedly.
“Your own son is sick, and you hide faster than anyone else, for fear of being accidentally injured. An Xia rushed back to appease your son, and you not only didn’t thank her, but you scolded her!”
Song Lanzhi lowered her head and kept muttering.
“It’s not that I don’t want to care, it’s just that Jingyang doesn’t recognize me when he’s sick. Even if I want to care, I can’t.”
“You still have the face to say that!” The old lady poked Song Lanzhi’s shoulder with her cane.
“Your own son would rather trust a person with no blood relationship than trust you, his own mother. You don’t think carefully about why! You still have the nerve to shirk responsibility here!”
“Who knows if that An Xia has cast some kind of spell on Jingyang! Maybe she knew that our Lu family was rich, so she deliberately approached Jingyang, used him to make us feel that she was indispensable, and wanted to keep her in our Lu family.”
Song Lanzhi was never convinced. No matter how many sentences the old lady said, she would retort. Her stubborn appearance made the old lady very angry.
“This is the good wife you married! Good daughter-in-law!”
The old lady’s heart was in pain because she was upset, and Lu Beichuan came back to see his grandmother leaning on the sofa and constantly smoothing her breath, while his mother Song Lanzhi was kneeling aside with a face full of disapproval.
Lu Beichuan felt tired, but he had to go in.
“Grandma.”
“Where did you go?” The old lady was angry with Song Lanzhi, and even had no good face for Lu Beichuan.
Lu Beichuan said: “Something happened at the company, and I had an emergency meeting.”
The old lady lowered her eyes and pulled her lips: “Is that so? It seems that the Lu family is getting more and more unruly now. Meetings need to be held while hugging women.”
Lu Beichuan was stunned and didn’t understand what his grandmother meant. Following his grandmother’s gaze down, and looking at the glass cabinet on the side, Lu Beichuan realized that there was a pink lipstick mark on his shirt collar.
“This was probably accidentally rubbed on by an assistant when I bumped into her just now.”
The old lady looked at him quietly, and then looked at the special assistant Xiao Ming, who came in behind him.
“Does your president’s office have female assistants? Or has Xiao Ming started to wear makeup recently?”
“””
