Orphan girl reborn: Why are you clinging to me?

I am Lu Qiyuan, the only daughter of the wealthy Lu family.

I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, and I have understood since I was sensible that unless I have sufficient value other than marriage, it will be difficult for me to have the freedom I want in this life.

I have a pair of parents who are seemingly inseparable from each other. They were unhappy couples born from a family marriage, and they only maintained their respectability to the outside world.

I still remember the day my father brought his younger brother Lu Qixiao home. My mother and father could not even maintain a superficial peace, and a fierce quarrel broke out between them.

Although I was young at the time, I also gleaned key information from their words.

Lu Qixiao is the illegitimate son of his father.

Unlike my eldest brother and me, he is not his mother's child.

I don’t know what kind of agreement his father and mother reached during the quarrel that night. Lu Qixiao finally settled in the Lu family and claimed to be his mother’s youngest son.

The eldest brother doesn't seem to care about this new younger brother and maintains the appearance of brotherly brotherhood.

But in the dark, I saw more than once that the tall elder brother forced the thin younger brother to kneel down. He put one foot on the younger brother's back and scolded him for being a little bastard raised in broken shoes.

There were a few times when I couldn't stand it any longer, so I tried to find a way to make a noise next to me and interrupt my elder brother's bullying.

My younger brother is very smart. He secretly came to thank me and wanted to get close to me.

I took an evasive step back, just letting him do what he wanted.

Just because I can't stand the eldest brother doing something wrong doesn't mean I'm on the younger brother's side.

I know very clearly that no one in this family is my ally.

My father values ​​the interests of the family and does not pay much attention to me, a daughter who will get married sooner or later.

My mother has a cold temperament, maybe because I resemble my father. From the way she looks at me, I can't feel her liking for me.

The eldest brother is the established heir of the family. He has always set his sights on others. He only has a normal relationship with me, and our relationship will get worse in the future.

Because what he wants is exactly what I want to take away from him.

As for the new little brother Lu Qixiao, he is a thorn in my mother's side and a thorn in my eldest brother's side, so naturally I won't get too close to him.

……

As the days passed, I was admitted to a top domestic university with excellent results, and the projects I participated in won international awards.

Finally, with his own hard work and excellence, he won the admiration of his father.

After graduating from college, my father allowed me to join the Lu Group. I knew that this was an opportunity he gave me.

Maybe my ability is not enough to challenge my eldest brother's position as heir, but as long as I can make achievements in the Lu family and take charge of part of the Lu family's business, my future path will not be just marriage.

In recent years, there have been some changes at home.

The most indifferent mother actually brought a girl from a distant relative to live in her home.

The girl's name is Cen Ning. She is very beautiful. She is surrounded by orchids in the empty valley. She is elegant and refined. She is a beauty that can be recognized at a glance in the crowd.

Her parents were both geologists and died unexpectedly when Cen Ning was in high school.

After Cen Ning was admitted to university in City B, she originally lived in the university dormitory. First, her mother often took Cen Ning to live in the Lu family. Later, she let Cen Ning live directly in the Lu family and sent a driver to take Cen Ning to school every day. Attend class.

I found that my mother cared very much about Cen Ning. This kind of care was so eager that it even exceeded her care for me and my eldest brother.

She would have meals with Cen Ning, take Cen Ning shopping with her to buy clothes, and take Cen Ning to parties with her friends.

She never even brought me, her biological daughter, to those gatherings of upper-class and wealthy ladies.

Fortunately, I don't mind. My battlefield has never been the circle of rich wives.

Of course, since something was so wrong with my mother, I had to send someone to investigate and found something interesting.

Cen Ning's father is her mother's distant cousin. When she was young, her mother and he studied together for several years.

The seeds of girlish feelings were crushed to ashes by the elders before they sprouted.

The family backgrounds of the two families were so different that even if the distant cousin was talented and had a bright future, his mother's family would not ask them to be together.

As a result, the mother took a large dowry and married the father who had a higher family status.

Many years later, the old friend has passed away, but the old friend’s daughter is still there.

Besides, her facial features and demeanor are very similar to those of her father. How could she not be cherished by her mother who has never received true love?

When she saw Cen Ning, could her mother be imagining that this was the daughter of her and her beloved?

Whatever she thinks, it has nothing to do with me.

……

It was a hot summer when I paid attention to Cen Ning's news again.

While participating in an expedition, Cen Ning encountered a sandstorm and disappeared in the desert.

His mother was so worried that she almost fainted. Lu Qixiao was also very anxious, so he took the Lu family's men and went to the desert to find someone in person.

I don't know when the relationship between Lu Qixiao and Cen Ning became so good?

Finally, the person was found, and Cen Ning was brought back safe and sound by Lu Qixiao.

Looking at Cen Ning who returned to the Lu family again, I always felt that she was a little different, but I couldn't tell what was different.

Lu Qixiao and Cen Ning didn't know what they said to their mother alone. Her mother was so stimulated that she was admitted to the hospital.

I only found out that after Lu Qixiao came back, he used the power of the Lu family to deal with a man named Gao, which seemed to be related to the accident of Cen Ning's parents that year.

Later, Cen Ning suddenly dropped out of college because she was pregnant and the child was Lu Qixiao's.

When her father found out, Cen Ning could only cry in shame. Lu Qixiao knelt in front of his father and begged him to help them.

The father agreed to Cen Ning giving birth to the child, but made no other promises to them.

Lu Qixiao was not willing to give in, but he did not dare to anger his father. Maybe he was thinking of taking it easy.

And I can see clearly that my father has no interest in Cen Ning as his daughter-in-law at all. He is still thinking about finding a well-matched wife for Lu Qixiao, who can support him at critical moments and prevent him from being bullied too much by his elder brother. awful.

My parents’ hearts are biased, and I have given up hope for a long time.

I only believe in myself.

……

His father and eldest brother died suddenly, and Lu Qixiao quickly rose to power with the support of the Black family.

I realized something was wrong, so I retreated, returned home, and stopped caring about work.

I didn't expect that Lu Qixiao could actually kill his father and eldest brother.

The biggest problem is that I know it’s him, but there’s no conclusive evidence that it’s him.

I can only protect myself first, and then worry about other things.

I never expected that in such a chaotic time, Cen Ning would come to me and ask me to help her leave the Lu family and leave that lunatic Lu Qixiao.

She said that she didn't like Lu Qixiao at all, and it was Lu Qixiao who forced her to have a child.

She said that she had always wanted to leave, but due to Lu Qixiao's strict defense, she couldn't find the chance.

She said that Lu Qixiao is currently busy seizing power and has mobilized a lot of people to leave. This is the best time for her to escape. She hopes that I can help her.

She said that she had evidence that Lu Qixiao had harmed others, and she was willing to exchange it for my freedom.
