Jiang Ruanqing looked at the half - paralyzed old master. That fool, following the old man around, really thought she had found a backer. But the old man was on the verge of death. In the end, she would have to rely on their Wen family to get by.
With such thoughts in mind, her words lost their previous respect.
"Looks like the old master is here too. I'm here to find my little niece."
The woman smiled obsequiously. After she spoke, looking into the old master's eyes, her calves were trembling.
She cursed fiercely in her heart, applying all kinds of dirty and disgusting words to them. She even wished she could pick up a stone right now and smash that old man to death.
Wen Sining hated the looks in the eyes of this mother - son pair. They were looking at her as if she were a commodity. Although the scar on her face had faded, it still covered most of her face.
She timidly asked the two in front of her if they were here to take her back.
"Cousin, are you here to take me back? But Grandpa said I'm already the little daughter - in - law of the Lu family. I don't have to go back with you to do the cleaning, fold clothes for cousin, or be his horse to ride on."
The deep fear in her pupils seemed to be engraved in this little heart. Wen Sining had long since mastered the art of feigning pity to perfection.
Wen Minhao was suddenly mentioned. Subconsciously, he tugged at his mother's clothes.
Wen Sining coldly watched, hiding her disgust. He was just a momma's boy, yet he dared to show off in front of her.
Being named, Wen Minhao's coy behavior only worsened the old master's impression of him.
Wen Sining had been living in such a family before. It was already a miracle that she hadn't been completely ruined.
The old master waved his hand, not only blocking their line of sight but also shattering their dreams.
"Cough! I may not be good at many things, but I will never allow the granddaughter of my old friend to be bullied."
True to his status as the former head of the family, even in his sick state, ordinary people couldn't withstand his aura.
Maybe this was the ability of those in high positions. Wen Sining couldn't help but feel sorry for the old man. At his age, he still had to worry so much about the younger generation.
Her soft little hand landed on the old master's back, and Wen Sining coaxed him gently.
"Grandpa, don't be angry. You can't be angry. The doctor said you need to keep your emotions stable."
Uncle Bai also understood what the madam meant and handed over the medicine prescribed by the doctor from the side.
Seeing the hesitation in the old man's eyes, Wen Sining let out a chuckle and coaxed the old master to take the medicine.
Her big, kind and innocent eyes blinked, as if a little granddaughter was looking at an old child who didn't want to take medicine.
Wen Sining pursed her lips, with an expression that said if you don't take it, I'll cry.
"Alright, alright."
Watching their harmonious family scene, Jiang Ruanqing felt an inexplicable anger welling up inside her. But this wasn't the place where she could throw a tantrum.
This mother - son pair came here in vain today. Before they were even driven away, they were already slinking away, looking utterly helpless.
"Do you want to stay for dinner? It's a pity that every set of tableware in the Lu family is pre - arranged. There's none extra for you."
The old man issued the order to leave. Jiang Ruanqing was used to being accommodating. Knowing that it was time to go, she quickly grabbed her son and ran away. Not only did she fail to get the money, but she was also humiliated.
It wasn't until Wen Minhao was out of the old man's sight that he gradually became fierce.
Gritting his teeth, he regarded a small sapling in front of him as Wen Sining. He angrily broke off its delicate branches with his hands, uprooted it from the ground, and threw the broken parts all over the road.
"This damned thing! How dare she not give us face? She doesn't even think about who raised her all these years."
Thinking of her fair face, a certain part of Wen Minhao's body throbbed faintly.
Jiang Ruanqing saw the nameplate on the tree and started trembling all over. She quickly pulled her son out of the gate.
Little did they know that all their actions had already been captured by the surveillance cameras. After all, the greenery around the Lu family's mansion couldn't be bad.
...
Lu Luochen still came to the company as usual.
"Mr. Lu, Anna has been transferred to the headquarters."
Someone whispered beside him. Lu Luochen's face instantly darkened. But thanks to his good self - restraint as a CEO, he didn't show his emotions.
"I see." He replied calmly. He was well aware that this must have been arranged by the old master.
"I'll attend the bidding meeting this afternoon myself."
Lu Luochen didn't believe that he couldn't handle things well without Anna. Little did he know that a huge conspiracy was waiting for him.
The old master knew Lu Luochen very well. He didn't want to see the child he had raised fall into the claws of that scheming woman. But what pained him more was that the one he had painstakingly cultivated was not as good as a silly girl with the mental age of ten.
Wen Sining had been exhausted by the company's affairs these days. After coming back, she still had to take care of the old master. Gradually, she lost some weight.
"Mo Xin doesn't need to go to the bidding meeting. The Lu Group has signed a contract in my name. Our two companies will continue to cooperate."
The old master felt sorry for Wen Sining. Uncle Bai couldn't hold back for a moment.
He couldn't help but stand behind the old man and cough gently to remind him, "Sir, the madam doesn't know that you've already seen through her disguise."
Alas!
Wen Sining was pretending to be well - behaved. She was holding a plate of chocolate cake in her hand and the old master's licorice tea on the side.
Should she admit it or not now?
"Grandpa!"
Wen Sining showed the anger of a little granddaughter whose disguise had been seen through by her grandfather. But she also had to worry about the old man's health, as the doctor said he couldn't have too many mood swings.
"Grandpa, this isn't right. If you knew my identity earlier, you should have said so. You made me act for so long."
Wen Sining really regarded herself as the old man's little granddaughter. Lu Luochen, this unfilial son, didn't know how to take good care of his grandfather. From now on, she wouldn't want him anymore.
The elder, looking at the child's expression, naturally knew what she was thinking.
As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. It was his fault that had harmed this child. Grandpa Lu also felt ashamed.
Wen Sining acted coquettishly and cutely. Even if her disguise had been seen through, she was still the old master's good granddaughter.
"Grandpa, be good. If you don't let me go to the bidding meeting, I won't go. How about sending someone from our company to just make a show? Otherwise, people will be suspicious."
Wen Sining thought for a while. Thinking of Lu Luochen's defeat at that time, she felt really pleased.
Those faint feelings also disappeared, replaced only by disgust. A man blinded by a woman must be good - for - nothing.
