After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Chapter 272 The Moral Valley

Seeing this, Jiang Lu asked, "Xuan Bao, where are you going?"

Li Xuanbao replied: "Jiang Lu, I want to go out for some fresh air, don't follow me!"

Jiang Lu looked at Li Xuanbao's back with concern, knowing that her depression was not under effective control. She knew Li Xuanbao's pride too well, and she must be in great pain in the face of such a situation.

So, Jiang Lu turned around and looked in the direction of Li Jiawei and others, and walked straight over.

Jiang Lu knew very well who Li Xuanbao cared about the most among these people. She walked to He Zhizhou, picked up a glass of white wine, and said, "He Zhizhou, do you still remember me?"

He Zhizhou looked at Jiang Lu, nodded, and said, "I remember, your name is Jiang Lu."

Jiang Lu smiled and nodded, then handed the white wine in her hand to He Zhizhou: "Lawyer He, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are still so ruthless. I toast you a glass."

He Zhizhou looked down at the liquor that Jiang Lu handed over, but did not reach out to take it. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I haven't been feeling well these past two days, and the doctor told me that I can't drink."

Jiang Lu chuckled twice after hearing this: "Lawyer He, are you giving me no face? When you and Xuan Bao were together, I helped you two pass messages a lot. I became your exclusive messenger."

When He Zhizhou heard Jiang Lu say this, he knew that she had come here with bad intentions. In order to prevent her from causing any trouble at Jing Qiu's birthday party, he sighed and took the wine glass: "Okay, I'll drink this one."

"That's great!" Jiang Lu picked up another glass of white wine from the table, clinked it with He Zhizhou's, and then drank it all in one gulp without waiting for He Zhizhou to say anything, showing her generosity.

Seeing Jiang Lu had already gulped down a glass of white wine, He Zhizhou frowned and raised his head to drink the wine in the glass. As soon as he finished drinking, he felt a burning sensation in his stomach and started coughing violently. Zhong Yi hurriedly patted his back beside him.

Zhong Yi looked at He Zhizhou's uncomfortable look and scolded him, "Your stomach disease hasn't healed yet, why are you trying so hard! Do you want to die?" Then, he turned around and stared at Jiang Lu with dissatisfaction, angrily saying, "Jiang Lu, you are sick, right? I told you not to drink, what's the point of you urging me to drink like this?"

Jiang Lu looked at Zhong Yi and snorted, "Zhong Yi, He Zhizhou and I are drinking, and I didn't ask you to drink. Why are you so upset?" Then she stared at Zhong Yi's face for a moment and said, "Zhong Yi, do you flatter whoever has money? Didn't you say Li Xuanbao is your biological sister? Why don't you acknowledge her now? Do you acknowledge your new sister instead?" She looked at Li Jiawei again and said coldly, "Really, new sister?"

Seeing Jiang Lu going crazy and pointing the finger at Li Jiawei, Li Yan said unhappily, "Jiang Lu, today is my mother's birthday party. I hope you can come with blessings and leave happily. This is not the place for you to make trouble!"

Jiang Lu looked at Li Yan and sneered, "Li Yan, you and Xuan Bao have been siblings for more than 30 years, right? Is your relationship not as good as this sister you just recognized for two years? Is blood relationship really that important? So that you can ignore Xuan Bao's feelings, throw her aside, and praise this woman to the sky? What's her reason? Is she as good as Xuan Bao? Does she love you as much as Xuan Bao?"

The air around them froze instantly because of Jiang Lu's words. Li Jiawei felt the guests' scrutiny, and she couldn't tell what she felt at the moment, but she suddenly wanted to laugh. She never resented Li Xuanbao for taking away more than 30 years of her life, and thought it was all a trick of fate.

However, her indifference still made people feel that her presence had taken away something that belonged to Xuanbao, and Li Xuanbao's friends were feeling sorry for her. She didn't know if this was just Jiang Lu's idea, or if other people had the same idea.

She looked at Li Yan and Li Shiwen, her two relatives. Li Yan felt Li Jiawei's gaze and looked at her, only to see that her eyes were full of grievance, confusion and questioning. At this moment, Li Yan felt distressed for Li Jiawei, she should not be questioned like this.

Li Yan put down the wine glass in his hand, took a step forward, and looked down at Jiang Lu: "Miss Jiang, can I ask you a question?"

Jiang Lu looked at Li Yan unwillingly and said, "You ask."

Li Yan asked, "If you were in Jiawei's position, what would you do?"

Jiang Lu was stunned when she heard Li Yan's question, not knowing how to answer for a moment. However, according to her personality, she would naturally return to her own place. She would make the impostor stay away and not take away anything that originally belonged to her. She would even make her leave the house and make her biological parents cut off all contact with the impostor.

Seeing Jiang Lu's silence, Li Yan sneered, "Why, you can't answer? In fact, even if you don't say it, I can guess what you are thinking. People like you are always generous to others, but once it comes to your own interests, you become cold and selfish. People like you, what qualifications do you have to blame Jiawei? She never fights for anything, doesn't complain or hate, she has been trying her best to protect Li Xuanbao, what else do you want her to do?"

At this point, Li Yan reached out and pulled Li Jiawei to his side, holding her hand tightly: "Jiawei is my sister, this is an unchangeable fact. Xuanbao and I have been siblings for decades, if I can continue, I will naturally be willing. But for Jiawei, I will fulfill my responsibilities as an elder brother, love her, believe in her, and protect her. Miss Jiang, are you satisfied with my answer?"

Jiang Lu looked at Li Yan, then at Li Jiawei's calm face, and asked, "Have you ever thought about how Xuanbao should deal with it?"

Li Jiawei was very happy after hearing Li Yan's answer. She looked at Jiang Lu and said, "Ms. Jiang, Xuanbao and I don't have any conflicts at the moment. Although we are not close, we still maintain basic courtesy. In this society, everyone has their own position, no matter how high or low, everyone has to learn to adapt. I am adapting to my position, and Xuanbao should also learn to adapt to hers."

Jiang Lu looked at Li Jiawei and sneered, "You are really right. I am just being sentimental and asking for trouble." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.

However, Li Jiawei stopped her and said, "Ms. Jiang, I want to add one more thing. The most difficult thing to describe in this world is 'empathy'. We are not saints, so please don't think you are standing on the moral high ground and then criticize others. In the end, you may find that you are standing on the moral low ground."

After hearing what Li Jiawei said, Zhong Yi wanted to applaud her. What is this called? This is the charm of language. There are no fierce words, but Jiang Lu is belittled to nothing.

Jiang Lu turned to look at Li Jiawei and said, "You are indeed a member of the Li family. You are really good at talking." Then, she turned to He Zhizhou and said, "He Zhizhou, you and Xuan Bao once had a relationship. If you still miss the old love, go out and see her. It's so cold outside, I'm afraid she will freeze. Now, you are the only one who can comfort her."
