Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!-Chapter 118 - : Ningning, He Is Your Uncle
Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Ningning, He Is Your Uncle
Weasel paying respects to the chicken, I get that vibe.
Just a few days ago, she left our house cursing and swearing, and now she comes bearing soup with a beaming smile?
I bet there’s poison in that soup.
“Is there something you need?” Lu Xining didn’t accept her soup and maneuvered her wheelchair to the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The greenery outside could rival a holiday resort, the sight of green was quite comforting to the eyes.
Zhang Yuzhi internally cursed at the ignorant wild brat, while maintaining a genial facade, she placed the insulated box on the table next to the sofa, smilingly looking at her.
“Ningning, your aunt was too agitated before, I said some unpleasant things, please don’t take it to heart.”
Lu Xining raised an eyebrow, noncommittal.
Zhang Yuzhi leaned in with a smile and said, “After all, we were family in the past. You, being an orphan, your aunt truly cares about you.”
“Your aunt thinks that you shouldn’t have divorced Muye, it’s normal for a man to have a female confidante outside, especially someone with Muye’s family background and looks.”
“As long as you remained Mrs. Ji, keeping the position of the lawful wife, what waves could those mistresses and flings possibly make? You were too impatient, and after the divorce, you ended up with nothing, such a loss.”
Seeing she didn’t object and seemed genuinely attentive, Zhang Yuzhi felt more assured.
“From now on, if you’re willing, your aunt is like your mother, you can come to me with anything, and as long as it’s within my power, I’ll definitely help you.”
A sneer flitted across Lu Xining’s eyes as she calmly watched her, wanting to see what else she’d say.
Indeed, after a few words, Zhang Yuzhi brought up her maternal family again.
“Your aunt’s family will be your family from now on.”
She deliberately observed Lu Xining’s expression, and only continued when she saw no sign of displeasure, “Right now, your uncle, my brother, has encountered a little issue and needs your help.”
“Don’t worry, your aunt won’t make you help for nothing.”
Zhang Yuzhi figured the previous refusal was just because she hadn’t been offered any “kickback”.
This time she took the initiative to offer her a million! She was bound to agree!
After all, a million was an amount that ordinary people could hardly earn in a lifetime.
Lu Xining watched Zhang Yuzhi’s monologue with a quasi-smile.
It’s not for nothing that people say she’s short-sighted.
Before naming her price, she didn’t even ask how much ZN Laboratory charges per project.
“Ms. Zhang has been married into the Ji Family for over a decade, hasn’t she? How come she only starts with a paltry seven figures? Shi’an Group pays out billions in dividends to shareholders every year, doesn’t Ms. Zhang receive any?”
Zhang Yuzhi’s smile froze at the corners of her lips; this topic always infuriated her.
One of the conditions Old Sir Ji had for allowing her into the Ji family was that she would receive no shares of Shi’an Group, and she had to get Mr. Ji to sign a contract stating that before Ji Muye came of age, she could only receive a fixed annual salary of five million.
Furthermore, Mr. Ji’s shares would immediately be transferred to Ji Muye upon his coming of age.
Zhang Yuzhi thought she could first get in and rely on her child’s status after birth, but Old Sir Ji foresaw even that.
The contract explicitly stated that her offspring would not get a single penny of Shi’an Group’s wealth after reaching adulthood!
All of Shi’an Group’s shares and wealth belonged solely to Ji Muye!
Even after the child was born, Old Sir Ji had the child take her surname, clearly not recognizing the child in her womb.
And that wasn’t all.
She thought she was the only one treated like this.
But! When Lu Xining married into the Ji Family, Old Sir Ji grandly handed her 8% of the shares!
This disparity had Zhang Yuzhi bearing a grudge against her for seven years.
“Ningning, you know that your aunt and Muye’s father truly loved each other, it wasn’t for his money. Over the years, I hardly spent the Ji family’s money, this million is already most of my savings.”
“If you think it’s still too little…” she feigned a pained expression and reluctantly said, “Your aunt will give you all her savings, a total of one and a half million!”
Ms. Zhang Yuzhi knew about the strength of her maiden family, and so did Lu Xining.
She wasn’t speaking incorrectly.
In Jingzhou, the Zhang Family could only be considered moderately well-off. It was only after marrying Mr. Ji and receiving his assistance that their company began to improve, gradually approaching the edge of Jingzhou’s elite circles.
If things had continued that way, they might have secured a stable position within Jingzhou’s high society.
But after Ji Muye took over the Shi’an Group, he immediately cut off the business that Shi’an Group had been giving to Zhang Yuzhi’s maiden family.
Most people in their circles were cunning.
Knowing that he didn’t appreciate his stepmother, Zhang Yuzhi, they all ceased their collaborations with the Zhang Family.
In recent years, despite Zhang Yuzhi looking glamorous on the surface, flaunting Mr. Ji’s doting on her within their circle, in reality, she had to use her own money to subsidize her family.
Lu Xining had quite an admiration for Old Sir Ji.
With his maneuvers, he directly secured his only grandson’s inheritance rights at the root.

Now, seeing Zhang Yuzhi acting as though she was doing her a favor, Lu Xining couldn’t help but reflect.
Was she not standing high enough?
How had she given Zhang Yuzhi the false impression that she could be manipulated with just 1.5 million?
As her thoughts turned, her gaze casually fell on the couch, causing Zhang Yuzhi to mistakenly think she was eyeing her rare handbag, leading to a tight feeling in her heart.
Today, she was carrying her most beloved rare handbag—just allocating one could cost two to three million.
Thinking about the profit of over a hundred million, Zhang Yuzhi again clenched her teeth and said, “As long as you promise your auntie to arrange for your uncle’s clients to enter the laboratory, this rare handbag… I’ll give it to you directly!”
From a distance of three to four meters, Lu Xining glanced at her indifferently.
Perhaps feeling that the bargaining chip wasn’t enough, Zhang Yuzhi added, “Ningning, auntie knows you truly loved Muye before, and I can help you.”
“After all, men always find it harder to forget the first woman who bears their children, no matter how many come and go around them. As long as you’re willing to admit your mistakes and lower your head, he’s sure to have a change of heart.”
“Besides, your womb is remarkable, you did well giving birth to Ji Chao and Ji Ze. Considering how much Muye cares for them, your chances of winning are far greater than other women’s.”
Lu Xining’s eyes, somewhat warm before, grew cold upon hearing Zhang Yuzhi objectify women’s reproductive capabilities.
She spoke coolly with downcast eyes, “Enough.”
Her voice was very light, yet it caused an inexplicable tightness in Zhang Yuzhi’s heart, reminiscent of facing Old Sir Ji and Ji Muye.
Lu Xining said lightly, “Keep your money and handbags to yourself, I don’t need them.”
She shouldn’t have given Zhang Yuzhi the time to spout nonsense.
Just as Lu Xining was about to send her away, a commotion erupted from the entrance of the hospital room.
A greasy voice was heard arrogantly telling the bodyguards, “You dare to stop me? Do you know who I am!”
“Sister, sister, come quickly, this bodyguard actually dares to stop me, let your husband fire him!”
Zhang Yuzhi had already called her brother before entering the hospital room, asking him to come over quickly.
The noisy middle-aged pot-bellied man at the door was none other than her darling brother, Zhang Yuqiang.
She hurried to the door and ordered the bodyguard, “Let go! He’s my brother. Let him in.”
With that, Zhang Yuzhi walked back into the room, certain that the bodyguard would let her brother enter.
However, when she sat down on the couch again, the bodyguard still hadn’t let him in.
She had to rise once more and scolded angrily, “Have you all gone deaf! I told you to let him in, did you hear me!”
The bodyguard didn’t say a word, just turned to look at Lu Xining inside the room.
Their silence conveyed that they only took orders from her.
Zhang Yuzhi’s eyes were filled with indignation at being ignored, and she turned back to Lu Xining with a frown, saying, “Ningning, quickly tell the guards at the door to let him in. He is your uncle after all!”
