Listening to the child's innocent words, even Lu Chongshan and Yan Ruyi were speechless for a moment.
Lu Jingli was almost moved to tears. He mumbled, "Dad, Mom, I'm not saying this to criticize you, but sometimes you two are too stubborn, especially my dad. Why do you always look at people with tinted glasses? Although it's understandable that once bitten, one becomes afraid of the rope, but we can't generalize, right?"
"Shut up, you little brat! What do you know?" Lu Chongshan angrily scolded his youngest son, then looked at Lu Tingxiao, "Tingxiao, come out with me!"
Lu Jingli immediately gave his brother a look that said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Lu Tingxiao touched Xiaobao's forehead, then said to Ning Xi, "I'll be away for a while."
"Um."
…
In the empty corridor.
Lu Chongshan's face was filled with gloom. "Tingxiao, do you think I'm stubborn and unreasonable, just like Jingli?"
Lu Tingxiao: "Yeah."
Lu Chongshan: “…”
Lu Chongshan was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath.
"Father, all your worries, prejudices, and dissatisfaction towards Ning Xi are only because you are worried that in such an extraordinary period, if I make a wrong move, it will lead to the destruction of the entire Lu family." Lu Tingxiao said.
In fact, Lu Chongshan and Yan Ruyi's attitude towards Ning Xi had softened a lot before, but because of this incident, their attitude suddenly returned to the most tense time, so solving this incident was the root of the problem.
Lu Chongshan's expression eased a little, "At least you still have some sense."
"I will resolve all of this within seven days," Lu Tingxiao said.
"Seven days?" Lu Chongshan almost laughed out of anger. Even though this son had always been his pride, it was too arrogant to think that he could deal with such a huge company with a strong background within seven days.
"Let's not talk about whether you can fulfill your promise. Even if all this is resolved, what do you have to say about what happened today? How are you going to prove that she wasn't the one who poisoned Xiaobao? I just asked Xing Wu to check. There are surveillance cameras at home and school. During that time, no suspicious person handled Xiaobao's meals. The only one who might have tampered with them is her!
I don't need to tell you about the influence of environment on a person, you also understand it. I won't even mention what kind of personality she would develop growing up in such a poor and remote place. The Ning family would rather have an adopted daughter than recognize her, and even sent her far away to a foreign country. Don't you have any doubts at all? In addition to her inability to show up on the stage, is there a more unbearable fact behind it
There are endless things like this in this circle. How many dandies are sent abroad just to cover up their shame? How can I trust Xiaobao's mother? The future mistress of our Lu family is from such a family? Just based on her insignificant blood relationship with the Zhuang family? Can you be sure of her character and that she will not harm Xiaobao?"
Lu Chongshan originally cared about these things the most, and today's events obviously stirred his already fragile nerves, causing all his long-suppressed dissatisfaction and worries to burst out.
Lu Tingxiao spoke word by word, "First, I will fulfill my promise. Second, I will tell you the truth when the time comes. Third, as for your father's concerns about Xiaoxi's character, time will tell. And you have always refused to get to know her. How can you know what she is really like based on your so-called speculation?"
Lu Chongshan frowned and said nothing in a deep voice. After a long while, he spoke, "Okay, you said I am biased, so I will give her a chance!"
