Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Pretending to Patch Things Up to Trick Them into Coming Back is Also Fine
Lu Jiao had unknowingly walked over from her seat, her laugh relaxed and graceful.
"Qiaoqiao, there might have been some misunderstandings between us before, and my involvement with Mrs. Sang had its difficulties. Actually, I’ve always treated you as family, and I would never harm Dad, so you can rest assured."
"Yes, Jiaojiao truly realized her mistakes, she’s now the miss of the Lu Family."
Sang Zheng said this to make Sang Qiao be more careful, hoping she could let go of the past and have a good relationship with the Lu Family, which could also benefit Rose Entertainment.
"If she weren’t the Miss of Lu Family, would you still call her ’Dad’?"
Sang Qiao turned to look at them both, and though she was sitting down and shorter in stature, she didn’t lose out in presence at all.
Sang Zheng occasionally nodded and bowed, appearing rather like a eunuch, excessively humble.
This remark made Sang Zheng’s face unable to hide his discomfort, even though he indeed approached her because of Lu Jiao’s status, being called out in front of Lu Jiao like this was embarrassing.
"Of course, in my heart, you’ve always been my daughters, it’s just that there were some misunderstandings before, and your brothers didn’t recognize you—they incited me to ignore you, leading to those circumstances."
"Even if Dad is willing to acknowledge me only because of my status, I don’t mind, even if before I had nothing, the Sang Family’s love and acceptance."
Lu Jiao smiled slightly, her expression calm, deliberately saying these words to nauseate Sang Qiao.
What father-daughter affection did she and Sang Zheng have? It was always just mutual use, she knew it, and so did Sang Zheng.
"Qiaoqiao, you should learn from Jiaojiao, be more generous and look forward."
Sang Zheng hadn’t forgotten to speak well of Lu Jiao in front of Mr. Si—the contrast couldn’t be better.
One petty, the other generous.
"Once you’re six feet under, I’ll be generous." Sang Qiao curled her lips, took a napkin from the table to wipe her mouth, and lost interest in continuing her meal.
"You!" Sang Zheng’s face turned red with anger; what kind of statement was that!
"I’m leaving." Sang Qiao stood up, not forgetting to call the man sitting across from her.
Si Chenli followed immediately without hesitation, completely acting the part of an obedient boyfriend.
Sang Zheng was furious with Sang Qiao’s arrogant attitude, and that she utterly disregarded Mr. Si, yet Mr. Si let her summon or dismiss him at will.
"Dad, has Sang Qiao always been like this?" Lu Jiao also felt uneasy—after such a long time, why hadn’t Mr. Si’s feelings for Sang Qiao diminished?
"Indeed, she’s the same at home, unbearably arrogant, she wouldn’t spare a glance for anyone but the old master!"
Sang Zheng couldn’t understand what his four sons were thinking, constantly pleading for Sang Qiao’s forgiveness, yet Sang Qiao simply wouldn’t give them the time of day. Couldn’t they just adopt another sister if they liked her so much?
Lu Jiao noted this quietly, it seemed Sang Qiao would truly never forgive the Sang Family members, or accept any kindness from them. This was, in fact, helping her.
Otherwise Sang Corp, Starlight Entertainment, and Rose Entertainment would really join forces as a family, and her new company wouldn’t even have a chance to start.
"Dad, don’t take it too much to heart, adjust your mood and you’ll manage the company tomorrow. I have things to take care of at home, so I’ll leave first."
"Ah, alright, I’ll also speak to your mother about your good deeds when I get home."
Sang Zheng brightened up at the mention of managing the company, completely elated.
"Um, thank you, Dad." Lu Jiao picked up her purse and left the restaurant directly.

Even without Sang Qiao mentioning anything, Sang Siyang had some knowledge about Mr. Sang’s whereabouts.
He had finished his company’s work early and came home, and when Sang Zheng saw that Sang Siyang was home today, his gaze unwittingly shifted away.
"Siyang, why did you come back today?"
"Why did you go to meet Lu Jiao? What have you been discussing recently? Have you forgotten how she destroyed our family before?"
Sang Siyang didn’t even bother with pleasantries with his father, getting straight to the point.
"Don’t worry, I’m not stupid, she won’t deceive me, only I would deceive her."
Sang Zheng, realizing he couldn’t hide the truth any longer, decided to speak honestly. He was confident in himself, perhaps he could even profit greatly from the new company, being duped was out of the question. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Even if Lu Jiao has no brains, she’s still of the Lu Family, they have people specifically strategizing for her, what do you have to play with, when you can’t even manage Sang Corp properly!"
Sang Siyang frowned, if it weren’t for fearing his father being foolish to the extent of dragging them down, he wouldn’t even bother speaking.
Besides, even if Qiaoqiao doesn’t forgive their family, they should still show the right attitude. Now, with Dad mingling with Lu Jiao, it chills people to the bone, let alone Qiaoqiao.
"Siyang, are you looking down on me? I intend to prove to you that the old man was wrong to dismiss me from Sang Corp, I have the capability, it was just delayed."
"I’m not interested in your conceit, I advise you to sever all ties with Lu Jiao immediately."
Sang Siyang was already distraught with business, and his elder brother’s recent mood changes were worrying, now he also had to take care of a father only interested in profit.
"I am your father; since when do you decide what I want to do?"
Sang Zheng pulled a cold face, regardless, there would be profits from the new company soon, and he wouldn’t have to rely on his sons financially.
He didn’t care for their paltry offerings, not enough even to fill gaps between his teeth!
"Do you even remember you are my dad? What have you ever done for me since I was small? You just burden our family!"
"The new company will definitely have no issues this time." Sang Zheng shifted his gaze away, his attitude resolute.
Unable to persuade him, Sang Siyang had to give up, "Fine, if you get scammed, no one will help you."
He gave up persuading with words, but his actions would still involve keeping an eye on him.
Sang Zheng watched his youngest son leave the mansion, feeling a lot more at ease. In this house, he had no position at all; anyone could yell at him at their will.
If he didn’t have his own business, how could he continue to live in constant compromise?
"Mr. Sang, are you really going to start a company with Sang Jiao?" Mrs. Sang, having heard their whole conversation, was extremely uneasy.
Since she was genuinely deceived that one time, she realized how well Jiao could act, and for a while, she couldn’t even believe all of Jiao’s past concerns were false!
"People now call her Lu Jiao, the Miss of the Lu Family! I see she still has some feelings for you, always thinking of you, whether fake or real, her status is different now. If you were smart, you should pretend to resolve past conflicts and reclaim your previous losses."
Sang Zheng looked at his wife disdainfully, still calling her Sang Jiao; she had long changed her name.
