After severing ties, the cold-blooded family regretted it

Chapter 161 Caught in the act!
Zhao Rui felt warmed in her heart when she heard Lu Ziming's words.

Regardless of whether he is short of people around him, the fact that he can remember his younger brother at this time shows that he is thoughtful.

"Well, what you said is true. After all, you have kept him away for so many years and he has no complaints." Zhao Rui said while drinking coffee.

Lu Ziming seemed to have thought of something, "By the way, have you visited Gu Chi during this period?"

Hearing this, Zhao Rui paused for a moment, "I went there twice..."

"What do you want to do with him?" Lu Ziming asked Zhao Rui with sharp eyes.

"It's Tianci who wants to start a business. I want some money from him. I can't just take those shares for free." Zhao Rui said with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

Although she is the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, the Zhao family’s assets no longer belong to her.

"Oh I got it……"

As Lu Ziming's voice became increasingly cold, Zhao Rui felt a chill on her back, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

Zhao Rui looked a little flustered. "Ziming, I didn't hide it from you on purpose. Besides, Gu Chi is also my son. He has been in our Lu family for so many years. Isn't it right for me to give him some advice?"

"Now that his company has gone public and its stock price is doing very well, there's nothing wrong with me asking him for money to help Tianci."

Lu Ziming frowned, "But have you ever thought about Tianci's feelings? What would he think if he knew you went to find Gu Chi?"

Listening to Lu Ziming's questioning tone, Zhao Rui felt a sense of grievance in her heart. It was obvious that he was the one who looked down on Gu Chi the most, but now he was actually speaking up for Gu Chi.

"What? You want to be a good father to Gu Chi now?" Zhao Rui said sarcastically.

Seeing this, Lu Ziming felt a headache and said, "Whatever you think."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and went straight upstairs.

Lu Ning looked as if she was living a peaceful life, going out shopping and eating with her boyfriend every day.

But on this day, I met an uninvited guest in the mall.

Zhao Rui!

When Zhao Rui saw the woman walking hand in hand in front of her, she thought she was dazzled.

After rubbing my eyes, I could see clearly that the person was Zhao Rui.

She quickly sent away the wife who was shopping with her, and walked towards Lu Ning angrily.

"Lu Ning!"

Following Zhao Rui's roar, Lu Ning turned her head, her eyes suddenly filled with fear, "Mom?"

Zhao Rui walked over, grabbed Lu Ning's wrist, and pulled her to her side. She looked the man opposite her up and down, "Who is he?"

The man's eyes met Lu Ning's, wanting her to introduce herself.

Lu Ning broke free from Zhao Rui's hand and held her fingers tightly again, "Mom, this is my boyfriend Lin Bei."

Hearing this, Zhao Rui was furious and shouted, "Lu Ning, do you know what you are doing?"

Lu Ning shook her head, "I know exactly what I'm doing." Then she added, "Lin Bei and I truly love each other."

At this time, Lin Bei also said: "Auntie, Lu Ning and I are truly in love, please help us."

Zhao Rui snorted coldly, "True love?" She pointed at Lu Ning, "Lu Ning, even if you don't mind him being poor, what about him? Look at how poor he is!"

"Can you guarantee that he didn't approach you because of your identity as the eldest daughter of the Lu family?"

"Have you been blinded by greed? You actually followed in Lu Meng's footsteps!" Hearing this, Lu Ning frowned, his face darkened, and his tone was a little stiff: "Mom, Lin Bei... is not the kind of person you think. He is the most promising professor in our school."

Lu Ning just pursed her lips and looked at her furious mother, retorting word by word: "Mom, is it impossible to find happiness for yourself other than marrying up to a rich man?"

"Happiness that belongs to you?" Zhao Rui sneered, raised her hand and poked Lu Ning's forehead fiercely, "Lu Ning, I tell you, I will never let you marry someone like Lin Bei. I can't afford to lose this person."

He took Lu Ning's hand and was about to walk out, but was stopped by Lin Bei.

"Auntie, let's calm down and talk." Lin Bei suggested.

"Humph." Zhao Rui didn't even bother to look at her. "There's nothing to say between you and me. Besides, stop trying to get close to me. Who is your aunt?"

After saying that, Lin Bei wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Lu Ning, who nodded towards Yaoyao.

Zhao Rui angrily pulled Lu Ning back.

As soon as I got home, I started to question him, "How long have you been together with that guy named Lin Bei?"

Lu Ning lowered her eyelashes, "One year."

"One year?" Zhao Rui was furious. "You actually kept it a secret from me and your dad for one year?!"

Lu Ning didn't say anything.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhao Rui was so angry that she jumped up and down: "Just wait, I'll go find your dad today."

Lu Ning's eyes dimmed and she felt upset.

They are clearly two people who love each other, why is it so hard to accept? Why are you so repulsive?

"Mom, what do you want me to do in order for you to agree to let Lin Bei and I be together?"

Zhao Rui's sarcastic words were full of disdain, "I, Zhao Rui's daughter, can't be given to a man in such a cheap way."

Lu Ning looked at Zhao Rui with gritted teeth. She didn't know what words to use to explain, but her eyes became red.

"Lu Ning, listen to your mother and stop being confused, otherwise I will really break your legs!" Zhao Rui warned sternly. She didn't expect that these daughters were more troublesome than each other.

Lu Ning raised her chin stubbornly, her eyes full of dissatisfaction, "Do you all think that being with Lin Bei is despicable?"

"What else is it? Noble?" Zhao Rui gritted her teeth and said, "I have warned you a long time ago that your only way out is marriage."

"I thought you were still somewhat rational, but I didn't expect that you were the most demented one."

"Either break up now, or I'll help you break up!" Zhao Rui roared angrily.

However, Lu Ning did not back down at all, and crossed her arms, "Lin Bei and I will never break up!"

His words were very firm, and after he finished speaking, he went straight back to his room and refused to open the door no matter who knocked.

Zhao Rui was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. She sat on the sofa with an ugly face as if she had just swallowed a fly.

After she calmed down, she set her sights on Lin Bei.

In the teahouse, Zhao Rui sat opposite, looking up and down at the man opposite.

"Lin Bei, I'm going to be frank with you. How much money do you want in exchange for leaving my daughter?" Zhao Rui asked casually while taking a sip of tea.

When she said this, her expression was as calm as water, and she didn't seem to care about the man in front of her.
