“1’11 listen to my husband.” Jiang Yining folded her arms and said coldly to Old Madam Lu.
Old Madam Lu was about to go crazy with anger. “All Zhi, what did you mean by that? We have both physical and human evidence. You still want to cover up for this witch?”
“Grandma, when you frame someone next time, remember to hide every flaw.” Lu Zhi saw through her pretense. “You and Yining have never gotten along. Isn’t it obvious that you are harboring ill intentions when you are suddenly nice to her?”
“I didn’t…” Old Madam Lu still wanted to defend herself but Lu Zhi did not give her the chance.
“I said those words just now to figure out your true motive. When you mentioned that Tao Niannian is at our house, 1 understood.”
Lu Zhi’s voice was still gentle, but there was no warmth in his eyes when he looked at his grandmother.
“You put on this act to force me to reconcile with the Tao family.”
Old Madam Lu was a little embarrassed, but she quickly calmed down and admitted, “That’s right. 1 asked someone to invite her over. 1 did want to use her as a catalyst to make you reconcile with the Tao family. But it’s also true that she attacked me.”
“You threatened me with my friend’s safety, and 1 only grabbed your collar.”
Jiang Yining was really shocked by Old Madam Lu’s shamelessness.
Her act had already been exposed yet she still accused her…
Was this old hag a venomous serpent?
Old Madam Lu glanced at her disdainfully. “1 was just scaring you. In any case, you shouldn’t have attacked your elders! How did your parents raise you?”
Jiang Yining pursed her lips.
Lu Zhi stepped forward and said, “Grandma, you said it yourself. You were just scaring Yining. She didn’t know your intentions, so it’s understandable that she overreacted. I don’t think she did anything wrong.”
“On the other hand, you intentionally hurt Yining. You are too much.”
“All Zhi, are you my grandson at all? Why do you only speak up for her?” Old Madam Lu’s face was flushed red, and her head began to spin again.
She held her forehead and sat on the sofa.
The housekeeper who was standing at the side hurriedly walked up with her pills.
However, Old Madam Lu pushed him away. “I’m not eating those. I’m already so old. Just let me die.”
The housekeeper looked at Lu Zhi with a troubled expression.
He was hoping that Lu Zhi would persuade his grandmother to stop being worked up. She should think about her health.
Lu Zhi looked away from his grandmother.
Jiang Yining looked on coldly from the side.
Who told her to put on this big show? If she fell ill from being so worked up, she asked for it and couldn’t blame anyone.
Seeing that no one was talking, the housekeeper sighed and said in a low voice, “Old Madam, you are going to see Miss Kexin later today. If she sees that you don’t look well, she will be worried. Please take your medicine.”
Old Madam Lu’s expression softened slightly as she took the pills from the housekeeper.
She put two in her mouth and drank a few mouthfuls of water from a glass the housekeeper gave her.
She then looked up at Lu Zhi and felt a chill in her heart.
She had put in so much effort and done so much for her grandson. But in the end, he was more concerned about that demoness Jiang Yining.
He didn’t even worry about her!
Old Madam Lu was extremely disappointed. “We were both wrong in today’s matter. I can stop arguing with her and let the matter rest.”
“But Ah Zhi, why did I put in so much effort? What would I gain by advising you to reconcile with the Tao family?”
“Isn’t it all for your sake and for the sake of the Lu family? If we fall out with the Tao family, it will only benefit others! Use your brain and think about it, okay?”
Lu Zhi knew very well why his grandmother did so many things.
It was precisely because of this that he did not fly into a rage just now.
He replied in a deep voice, “Grandma, 1 won’t take the initiative to reconcile with the Tao family. They provoked me first. Without a sincere apology from them, we can forget about reconciliation.”
“Are you crazy?” Old Madam Lu shouted.
“I’m very clear-headed. Moreover, 1’11 be taking a series of actions against the Tao family. I won’t stop until they admit their mistake.”
Lu Zhi’s tone was firm and serious, with no trace of any joke.
In truth, he didn’t just want to settle the score with Elder Tao for his attack on Phantom. Tao Niannian had also provoked Yining and Tao Siyuan had tried to get him and Yining killed.
So many incidents…
He remembered every one of them clearly.
His counterattack to stop the hostile takeover of Phantom was only the beginning, not the end!
If the Tao family didn’t admit their mistake, hand over Tao Siyuan or punish Tao Niannian, he would fight them to the end!
Take the initiative to reconcile? Quit while he was ahead?
Only the weak would consider that. In his world, the only outcome was for the other party to admit defeat!
Tao Niannian heard Lu Zhi’s domineering declaration of war as she walked into the living room.
She panicked for a moment.
The Tao family had already lost tens of billions of yuan on the acquisition of Phantom. What else did Lu Zhi want to do?
Would he only stop after he annihilated the Tao family?
“Grandma Lu…” Tao Niannian called out to her for help.
Old Madam Lu quickly wiped her angry expression and walked up to Tao Niannian. “Niannian, what Ah Zhi said just now was all out of anger. Don’t take it seriously…”
“Miss Tao, if you heard what 1 said, please tell your grandfather and your uncle Tao Siyuan this – no matter what kind of games they play, 1 will accompany them to the end.” Lu Zhi’s thin lips curved into a vicious arc. “As for what my grandmother told you… Feel free to take it seriously, but we shall wait and see if the situation turns out as she said.”
After saying that, he couldn’t be bothered to look at Tao Niannian again and strode out holding Jiang Yining’s hand.
“All Zhi, you b*stard! Come back here!” Old Madam Lu shouted anxiously.
However, Lu Zhi ignored her and did not stop for even a moment.
Tao Niannian’s mind kept replaying Lu Zhi’s words as she squatted weakly on the living room floor.
Old Madam Lu chased after Lu Zhi for a few steps but failed to call him back.
She came back into the living room and comforted Tao Niannian, “Niannian, don’t worry. I can’t control this brat, but someone will. 1’11 go find the old patriarch to personally teach him a lesson.”
Tao Niannian’s fearful heart finally calmed down a little.
She squeezed Old Madam Lu’s hand and said, “Grandma Lu, you’re not lying to me, right?”
“Why would I lie to you?”
Old Madam Lu stroked her head gently. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely think of a way to make the Tao family and the Lu family reconcile.”
“Thank you, Grandma Lu. 1 can only put my trust in you .”
Tao Niannian leaned into her arms.
Away from Tao Niannian’s gaze, Old Madam Lu’s eyes flashed with uncertainty.
Ah Zhi had really changed…
He was becoming more and more of a stranger to her, and more and more disobedient.
All of this was instigated by Jiang Yining.
She couldn’t let this continue because All Zhi would be destroyed by that demoness sooner or later.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yining anxiously called Ye Xiaoxi the minute she got into their car outside the old Lu residence.
Only after Ye Xiaoxi confirmed that nothing had happened on her end did Jiang Yining heave a sigh of relief.
Lu Zhi listened quietly to their conversation for a while until he couldn’t stand it anymore and snatched the phone away from Jiang Yining.
“What are you doing?”
Jiang Yining wanted to get her phone back.
Lu Zhi said coldly, “You’ve been on the phone for too long. There’s radiation. Since you’ve already confirmed that she’s safe, you can hang up.”
Such an excuse couldn’t even fool a junior high student.
Did he really think she was stupid?
