Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Pay the Price for What You’ve Done for Yourself
Perhaps sensing sothing off about her statent, Qiao Yun corrected herself, “Soone is about to kill .”
Her tone was so calm, it hardly sounded like soone on the verge of being murdered.
Li Hanzhou, who had been lounging lazily, sat up straight on hearing this, his mind already running through who would dare to kill Qiao Yun.
It wasn’t just a matter of daring; it was a death wish!
He frowned and asked, “Who wants to kill you?”
Qiao Yun spoke slowly, “Guess.”
Li Hanzhou: “…”
He raised his eyebrow and chuckled. The little girl was playing coy.
Quite good, becoming more and more like a person.
In the end, Li Hanzhou still didn’t figure out who wanted to kill Qiao Yun.
But seeing her unruffled deanor, he also let go of the worry he had.
No matter what Qiao Yun intended to do, he believed she was a person who knew her limits.
…
The He Family’s main household was in Hai City, but they had bought a villa in Shangjing City recently due to business interests.
Unlike Lu Rui, who started his own business, He Junsheng was the heir to his family’s enterprise, which made his worth higher, although his family’s strength was on par with the Lu Group.
However, in recent years, due to Chairman He falling into a coma, He Junsheng’s poor managent had caused their strength to decline from what it once was.
Lu Ting looked through the car window at the unfamiliar, grand villa.
This would be her new ho from now on.
Yet strangely, there wasn’t a hint of joy on Lu Ting’s face, just a profound sense of unease.
Everything here was foreign to her, including her biological mother…
Lu Ting got out of the car with Ya Man, and they walked into the villa.
Ya Man had told the He Family in advance while going to pick up Lu Ting that her biological daughter would be coming to live with her.
Thus, when the servants saw Lu Ting, they approached with enthusiasm: “Madam, Miss, you’ve returned.”
Ya Man acknowledged with a hum, exuding the elegance of a lady of high society in her every gesture.
Seeing Ya Man like this, for so reason, Lu Ting felt a sense of pride swelling in her heart.
This was her birth mother, the wife of Chairman He; no one in this place would dare to mistreat her.
Lu Ting had just thought this when a haughty voice ca from behind.
“A guest, how is she a miss?”
On hearing this, Lu Ting’s expression abruptly changed.
She turned to look and saw He Jianyan walking in leisurely, scrutinizing her with furrowed brows.
He Jianyan then turned and warned the servants, “Rember this, there is only one Miss in the He Family, and what kind of miss is she?”
She didn’t like Ya Man, and by extension, did not like Lu Ting either.
Out of nowhere, a daughter appears and is brought ho; who knows what sches Ya Man is harboring.
The servants, embarrassed, responded dryly, “Yes, Miss, I’ll rember that.”
In her life, Lu Ting had only ever lost face with Qiao Yun; when had anyone else ever disrespected her like this?
She clenched her hand, forcing out a considerate smile, “Miss He is right, I am indeed an outsider, but after high school graduation, I will leave this place. I simply wish to spend so ti with my birth mother, and I hope you will allow it, and not take out your anger on her.”
He Jianyan, having been pampered all her life, directly pierced through her words, “What? Are you implying that I am being thoughtless?”
Lu Ting: “…”
She found herself at a loss for words.
He Jianyan declared, “This is my ho, I’ll behave as I wish. You, an outsider, have no right to tell what to do.”
A surge of deep humiliation welled up in Lu Ting’s heart, but she managed to maintain her composure, biting her lip and looking at Ya Man with a sense of grievance.
“Alright, for my sake, Yanyan, just be quiet for a while,” said Ya Man.
She didn’t want to provoke the young mistress, but neither did she want to lose face in front of her biological daughter, so she smiled, trying to smooth things over.
“I’ve discussed this with your father, and he agrees with Tingting coming to live here, if you have any complaints, talk to your dad.”
Lu Ting was sowhat astonished, she suffered such injustice, and her mother actually didn’t stand up for her?
If it were her elder brother, he would definitely have taught He Jianyan a lesson.
He Jianyan scoffed, “She can stay, just don’t annoy , that’s all.”
“Of course not.” Ya Man gently tugged at Lu Ting, signaling her to speak less.
This look of being wronged made it difficult for Lu Ting to breathe for a mont.
She left the Lu Family, not to be aggrieved here!
Lu Ting had her own pride too, being looked down upon like this, she straightened her back, an image of soone who wouldn’t humble herself.
But with just a light remark from He Jianyan.
“In my house, cut the drama.”
She felt as though she fell into an ice cave in an instant.
Yes.
This is the He Family not the Lu Family.
She was no longer the young mistress of the Lu Family, nor was she the young mistress of the He Family; she was just a foreigner.
A dense pain grew in Lu Ting’s heart.
At this mont, she deeply resented the Lu Family for treating her so unfeelingly, letting her be humiliated here.
Ya Man didn’t want to argue with He Jianyan, so she didn’t respond to his words.
This made Lu Ting even more upset.
She thought that from now on soone would protect her, but now it seed that Ya Man’s status in the He Family wasn’t as high as she imagined.
“Madam, where should we … arrange Miss Lu’s room?” a servant inquired.
Ya Man wanted to arrange Lu Ting next to herself, to strengthen their bond.
He Jianyan made the decision directly, “A guest should go to the guest bedroom, is she not a guest? Does she think she can sleep in the master bedroom just because she’s no stranger to the He Family?”
Ya Man subconsciously frowned, but forced herself to hold back. With Chairman He currently in a coma, she had no one to rely on and had to endure.
She furiously thought, when the ti cos for Tingting …
She will definitely make He Jianyan regret it.
Ya Man had more tolerance than Lu Ting.
But Lu Ting, having just experienced drastic changes, had barely convinced herself that things would get better, only for He Jianyan’s words to shatter her illusion.
Arriving in the cold guest bedroom, she couldn’t help but question Ya Man, “She’s deliberately making things difficult for , why won’t you help ?”
Ya Man patted the back of her hand, “Yanyan is proud by nature. If you rub her the wrong way, she will make things even harder for you, so if you can bear it, just bear it. As long as you don’t provoke her, you’ll be fine.”
“I’ve never been this humiliated at the Lu Family!”
Even when Qiao Yun returned, she just ignored her and stole her family’s affection, she never spoke so cruelly to her.
Ya Man’s face darkened slightly, “They’ve all kicked you out, and you’re still thinking about it, don’t worry, just endure a little longer. When the He Family is yours one day, you can do whatever you want with He Jianyan.”
“What do you an?” Lu Ting sensed sothing amiss, how would the He Family beco hers?
Ya Man gave a slight smile, “Mom was just speaking out of anger, you rest well and don’t think too much.”
Once Ya Man left, Lu Ting buried herself in the blankets, her eyes brimming with acidic tears.
She couldn’t help but reminisce about the warm days at the Lu Family.
It was all Qiao Yun’s fault, she was the one who made her end up like this.
But now, she could do nothing and had to live carefully in the He Family.
The more Lu Ting thought about it, the more stifled and humiliated she felt, the more indignant she beca.
If it were her elder brother, or her parents, they would never let anyone humiliate her like this.
Unfortunately, ti doesn’t rewind.
Everyone has to pay the price for their actions.
