Chapter 30

“What is this?” Chen Qinglian pretended to be innocent. She picked up the folder and opened it. She was surprised.

“Eh, Miss Jiang… Isn’t this the photo of me meeting Miss Jiang? Who took it?”

“Why are you meeting that girl?”

Old Madam Lu asked unhappily.

She didn’t like Jiang Yining, and she couldn’t bear to see her family meet that impudent girl! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Old Madam, I…” Chen Qinglian stammered, “Miss Jiang called me and said that she wanted to ask about Ah Zhi so that she could take better care of him… I thought that she didn’t have any ill intentions, so I went over.”

Chen Qinglian then looked at Lu Zhi and said sincerely, “Ah Zhi, I know you like Miss Jiang. Don’t worry. I’ll get along well with her in the future and won’t target her anymore.”

“Aunt Chen, how long have you known that girl for, and you’re already speaking up for her?”

Old Madam Lu cursed angrily.

“This…” Chen Qinglian glanced at Lu Zhi and suddenly hesitated.

In Old Madam Lu’s eyes, there was something wrong with the way she looked.

At this moment, Chen Kexin rushed into the living room.

When she saw Lu Zhi, she was delighted. Just as she was about to stick close to him, she thought of something and immediately went up to Chen Qinglian. She took out a bank card and asked.

“Mom, why is there a 70,000-dollar deficit in our bank account? You said that this money is for me to study abroad. I’m about to pay my tuition fees, but you took away the money. What should I do?”

“What’s going on?” Old Madam Lu asked in confusion.

The Lu family paid for their food and accommodation. The old madam would order the housekeeper to buy whatever they needed.

They couldn’t spend that much money.

Besides, Chen Qinglian had always been thrifty. Even if she spent a few hundred dollars on clothes, she would feel bad.

Not to mention spending 70,000 dollars in one go.

“Kexin, go back to the bedroom first. Mom will explain to you later.”

Chen Qinglian looked troubled as she pushed Chen Kexin out.

However, Chen Kexin stubbornly refused to leave. “I’m not leaving! If you don’t make things clear today, I won’t leave. In order to study abroad, I spent so much effort and prepared for four to five years…”

“Mom, why did you take the money away? If you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll kill myself!”

At the end of her sentence, Chen Kexin couldn’t stop crying.

Old Madam Lu watched this child grow up. Seeing this beautiful child crying so hard, her heart naturally ached.

She quickly stood up and grabbed her hand to comfort her, “What do you mean by killing yourself? Isn’t it just 70,000 dollars? Grandma will pay for you.”

“It’s different. I can’t take Grandma’s money for free.”

Chen Kexin shook her head.

Old Madam Lu looked at her crying face, and her expression suddenly darkened. She shouted at Chen Qinglian, “Where did you spend the money? Explain clearly to the child. Don’t make her anxious!”

“Old Madam, I… I…”

Chen Qinglian opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.

Chen Kexin cried even harder.

Old Madam Lu became more and more anxious. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll get someone to check the bank’s accounts. Anyway, we’ll find out where the money went sooner or later!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Qinglian’s body trembled as she gave it her all and begged, “Old Madam, don’t investigate anymore. It’s… It was the Young Mistress who borrowed this money from me.”

“Jiang Yining?” Old Madam Lu’s voice was sharp as she glared at Lu Zhi.

“Look, this is the good wife you found! She’s only been with you for a few days, and she dared to ask your family for money! If she were to secure her position as Young Madam Lu, wouldn’t the things she would do be even worse?”

Lu Zhi’s face turned cold. “I don’t believe that Yining would borrow money from Aunt Chen. If she really needs money, she can come to me directly.”
