Chapter 1100: Chapter 1099: Saying My Yun Family Is Dirt Poor???
Lu Beihua paused on the other end of the phone.
Yun Zhishu continued to lament, "Isn’t she a genius? Could it be that she doesn’t even know how to make a phone call? Can’t she ask the Lu Family servants to deliver some food?"
"Or does she take me and her uncle as servants, demanding to eat the meals we bring?"
Yun Zhishu’s words were brutally blunt. When she lashed out, it was merciless, with no regard for social niceties or saving face.
The reason she lived so candidly was partly due to her personality and partly due to her family environment.
Her brother, the old mischievous Yun Zhijuan, raised his sister. Maybe it was his upbringing that led her astray...
Yun Zhijuan rubbed his nose: Alas, it’s all his fault, indulged by him.
Anyone got a problem?
Too bad.
On the other end, Lu Beihua took several deep breaths, debating coldly, "Yutian misses you guys, isn’t that okay? She’s alone in the country, almost killed by Lu Mian. With parents not around, you are her closest people. Can’t she rely on you?"
"Ah..." Yun Zhishu pondered for a moment, then quickly laid it out clearly.
"First, Lu Yutian isn’t missing us; she just needs us to help her, help get rid of Lu Mian, help upgrade the company’s system. She treats our whole family as a stepping stone for her career."
"Second, she wasn’t pushed into the water; it was a drama she directed from start to finish. Stop blaming everything on our Mianmian! You can stand by her side with a clear conscience, but we cannot."
"Third, she had an incident but didn’t turn to her own parents. Why rely on us? Is the relationship between our families that good? We used to think she was a simple-minded child, unwilling to drag her into adult grudges. But analyzing it from a sociological angle now, like father, like daughter!"
Everyone around gave Yun Zhishu a look of admiration.
Satisfying!
Refreshing!
Lu Mian and Yun Sang, the siblings, simultaneously gave a thumbs up. Same gesture, same arrogant expression.
Seeing this, Xiao Qimo followed suit and gave a thumbs up.
"You! You..."
Lu Beihua, on the other side, trembled with anger. Who could have thought that a few words from him would provoke such a lengthy rebuttal from Yun Zhishu.
For every sentence he said, Yun Zhishu had ten waiting.
He kept telling himself that Yun Zhishu was just like this, he shouldn’t argue with her.
"Fine, you just go help outsiders then!"
Fuming, he threw down these words and pursued, "I just want to ask, what were you all busy with today? Something this big happened to the Lu Family, and did any of you care even a bit?"
"What happened to the Lu Family?"
"LOOK Company was reported by competitors, and Lu Qian is now under investigation. The company’s stocks have plummeted and are in critical condition. Alright, I’ll discuss it in detail when I see you. I’m heading to the Yun Family’s old house now to pick you up and go to the hospital."
"Wait a moment."
Yun Zhishu, though curious about the sudden issue with the Lu Company, sensibly reminded, "We don’t have the old house anymore, you’re going there for nothing."
"It’s gone?"
Lu Beihua’s voice was urgent, somewhat unexpected, almost blurting out as he was riled up by earlier words.
"Doesn’t that mean the Yun Family has nothing left? You were relying on us to help the Lu Family, and now you’re broke?!"
Everyone present exchanged glances with varied expressions, struggling to articulate their feelings.
Counting on the Yun Family to bail out the Lu Family?
What an audacious plan!
Before Yun Zhishu or Lu Xun could rebuff anything, Lu Beihua suddenly calmed his tone and almost threateningly said, "Lu Xun, Yun Zhishu, if you still consider yourselves Lu Family people, you’d better find a way to upgrade the Doors system for me. The Lu Family can’t just collapse like this—"
Before the old man could finish, the call was disconnected.
Lu Xun and Yun Zhishu silently looked up at the elegant hand that hung up the phone.
Upon looking up, they saw their daughter’s dark eyes glimmering with dangerous light.
Lu Mian had directly ended the call. She really hated such threats.
Especially against those she holds dear.
"Mianmian, don’t be angry. Your dad and I consider it just a joke. Actually, we and the Lu Family have long been clearly divided. Even if the old man is angry, it’s no use."
Yun Zhishu held her daughter’s hand.
Lu Mian let out a soft "hmm," her icy demeanor still lingering.
Yun Sang came over, boldly putting an arm around her shoulder, and laughed.
"Our family matters, actually, aren’t that complicated. Sister, do you know about the Doors system? Dad and uncle developed it with their own hands many years ago. That thief Lu Qian stole all the results and fled abroad, registered a company, and claimed it as his own."
"However, in recent years, their system updates hit a bottleneck, and they can’t upgrade to the ninth generation no matter what. So, Lu Yutian returned to Z Country, hoping my mom and dad would help her solve this predicament. Lu Yutian is someone with strong motives and a heavy sense of utilitarianism, just like her dad."
The main thing is Lu Yutian acting as if she’s being generous to the Yun Family, which is truly disgusting.
Yun Sang briefly introduced the family matters.
"Then... grandpa?" Lu Mian didn’t particularly want to mention him. Before the trouble with Lu Yutian, she still respected the old man.
As long as he needed it, for Yun Sang’s sake, she’d try to fulfill his wishes.
But later, she discovered that the old man... had a very selfish heart.
"Grandpa... huh. He’s very good at playing peacemaker, sheltering and conniving, always holding interests supreme. In trivial matters, you can’t tell what kind of person he is, but in major matters, he’ll absolutely side with whatever benefits him most. Back then, when he knew what Lu the thief did, didn’t even utter a peep but just went abroad with him."
After this, Lu Mian understood.
Good, the landscape painting in our home has been rightly removed.
"However, what I’m curious about is..." Yun Sang was somewhat puzzled, "Who reported the Lu Group? And at such a coincidental time?"
Lu Mian calmly denied, "It wasn’t me."
Yun Zhijuan also denied, "Nor was it me."
Xiao Qimo paused, thought for a few seconds, and still didn’t speak.
When he ranks first on the Forbes list, he’ll tell his wife then...
The Yun Family didn’t take Lu Beihua’s call to heart.
But Lu Mian secretly took note of it.
Snatching R&D achievements, is it?
Forcing her parents to upgrade the system, is it?
Saying their Yun Family is penniless, is it?
Hehehe...
She remained silent, took her laptop, and went straight to the study.
Yun Zhishu looked at Xiao Qimo, "What’s with Mianmian?"
Xiao Qimo adjusted his glasses, "She should be annoyed."
She’s annoyed.
So, someone is going to suffer.
Soon, after half an hour.
The internet suddenly exploded with a breaking news story.
