"Please grandpa, please dad, mom, big brother, and big sister-in-law, please help me!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Cunli knelt down on the ground without hesitation, first bowed deeply to the old man, then turned to Lu Yue and Chang Wenjuan, and kowtowed devoutly again.

Afterwards, he adjusted his posture and thanked Lu Huaijin and Zhu Feiwan one by one.

"If Zhu Lian is really so scheming, how can she be worthy of the title of Lu family's daughter-in-law!"

Lu Huaijin put his hands in his pockets.

"You've been playing with me for five years, and now you're trying to become my brother-in-law? Lu Cunli, are you too naive, or do you think I'm stupid?"

The ending of Lu Huaijin's voice rose, and his eyes were as cold as ice.

"Lu Sen can stay. As for Zhu Lian, let her stay in Pingcheng. Wen Mei is interested in you, isn't she? You marry Wen Mei and announce that the child is born by Wen Mei. You get married because of the child. It's that simple."

Lu Huaijin's tone was cold and resolute.

The old man nodded slightly, as if to say yes: "Let's do as Huaijin says. The young lady of the Wen family has good character. Li'er, you have to be nice to her. If she doesn't want to accept the child, we can just declare the child's biological mother dead and you need to find a stepmother for the child."

When Zhu Lian heard the words "biological mother is deceased", her pupils suddenly contracted and tears almost burst out.

Lu Cunli, this heartless man, actually put all the blame on her!

Doesn’t this just prove the old saying?

Once she lost her usefulness to him, she would be nothing.

She knew clearly that Lu Cunli only cared about Mumu's identity as the heir of the Lu family. As for who the child's mother was, he didn't care at all.

Could it be that all the kindness he had shown her before was a lie?

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I know how big a mistake I made. I don't ask for anything else but to stay with Mumu and watch him grow up. I am willing to work like a slave for you. Please don't send me back to Pingcheng."

After Zhu Lian finished speaking, he tried hard to stand up from the wheelchair, intending to gain sympathy by using a self-torture tactic, but ended up losing his balance and falling to the ground, kowtowing desperately and begging for mercy.

Chang Wenjuan is a soft-hearted person, and when she saw this she quickly stepped forward to stop it.

Although she was dissatisfied with Zhu Lian's behavior, after all, she was her daughter-in-law and the mother of the eldest grandson of the Lu family. Even if she made a thousand mistakes, she was the one who continued the bloodline of the Lu family, so she couldn't help but feel some pity for her.

"Okay, take her away and send her back to Pingcheng."

The old man seemed extremely impatient and had no tolerance for Zhu Lian's crying.

At this moment, Zhu Lian's heart completely sank.

Sweet words seem to have no effect in a profit-oriented family like the Lu family.

They can sacrifice anyone for their own benefit, and once they get what they want, the life and death of others is no longer important.

She finally realized that her trump card had never been Lu Cunli, but Lu Sen.

How naive I was. I shouldn't have believed any of Lu Cunli's promises and vows from the beginning!

"Okay, I'll leave! But Mumu just finished surgery. Can I ask, before I leave, to let me, as his mother, take one last look at him?"

Zhu Lian's voice had a barely perceptible tremor.

"Yes, let her see it. The child has been crying a lot recently and he really misses his mother."

Chang Wenjuan chimed in, with a hint of pleading in her voice.

If it weren’t for Mumu’s blood flowing in their Lu family’s veins.

If Zhu Lian had an affair with another man, Chang Wenjuan would never let her go so easily and would make her suffer.

But in the face of family blood ties, all principles seem to become negotiable.

……

After Zhu Lian's figure completely disappeared outside the door, the atmosphere in the living room finally returned to tranquility.

The old man's eyes slowly shifted to Zhu Feiwan. "Wanwan, I called you back today for no other purpose. I just wanted you to witness and hear the truth with your own eyes. The three children have grown up and need their father's company and guidance. Wanwan, are you willing to consider remarrying Huaijin? Let the Lu family do their best to compensate you and the children for what you have endured over the years?"

If these words came from someone else, Zhu Feiwan's face would have darkened and he would have sternly refused.

But these words came from the old man's mouth. Although her emotions fluctuated, she did not lose her composure and remained calm: "Grandpa, those three children are not the real flesh and blood of the Lu family."

"You are lying with your eyes open! That child is simply a re-enactment of Huai Jin's childhood! How dare you say he is not your biological child?"

Chang Wenjuan's voice was sharp and full of disbelief.

"Wenjuan! Watch your words!"

The old man's tone contained a hint of anger, and he said dissatisfiedly: "If you had been more kind to Wanwan back then, why would she be so disheartened and run away from home?"

"Dad, I..."

Chang Wenjuan's expression instantly became aggrieved, her lips pursed into a line, and she stopped arguing.

"Wanwan, Grandpa understands your state of mind. I always feel guilty about the harm you have suffered. I hope to find an opportunity to make amends."

The old man's words were filled with sincere apology.

"Grandpa, if you really want to make amends, please let me live in peace. I have decided to get married, and I hope you can give me your blessing."

Zhu Feiwan's answer was concise and firm.

"Well, grandpa will prepare a generous dowry for you then."

The old man finally compromised.

"Thank you, Grandpa. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After Zhu Feiwan finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to the old man and turned to leave.

"Madam, are you leaving now?"

As she walked through the courtyard, servants or relatives she occasionally met would always stop and greet her politely.

Zhu Feiwan tried hard to move the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, but he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

The scenery remains the same, but people’s hearts have changed.

After Zhu Feiwan left, Chang Wenjuan was extremely anxious.

"Dad, why did you let Zhu Feiwan go like this? Those three little guys are the flesh and blood of our Lu family, how can we let them stay out there?"

Chang Wenjuan's tone was full of anxiety.

"If you had been more gentle to Wanwan, how could she be so determined?"

The old man's words were full of reproach.

"Speaking of which, I don't actually have a big prejudice against Zhu Feiwan. I just couldn't stand the fact that the Zhu family sent her to the countryside to be raised. Every time I went out for social events, someone would always make fun of me for having a daughter-in-law from the countryside, so I felt angry when I saw her back then. But things are different now. She has given the Lu family three lovely children! For the sake of the children, I no longer care about those old scores. Dad, really, as long as these three children can come home, I promise that I will get along well with Zhu Feiwan in the future, and let the past be the past."

Chang Wenjuan raised her hand and swore, then turned her eyes to Lu Huaijin, her eyes full of determination.

"Huai Jin, you have to believe in your mother."

She said it sincerely.

Lu Huaijin had mixed feelings and did not respond. He just said to the old man, "Grandpa, there's something urgent. I'll leave first."
