The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 779 - 229: Lu Jingchen is Really Angry Now
Although Yun Wei is the eldest daughter of the Yun Family, the Yun Family’s status in An City is such that they are not too significant or too trivial, and can even be deemed dispensable. Even if the Yun Family were to disappear, the sky over An City would not change.
But the Lu Family is different. The Lu Family is not only wealthy and influential but also a grand clan that has been established in An City for a century. Moreover, their CK Group practically monopolizes over half of An City’s economic development.
In fact, Song Qiao’s status a few years ago wasn’t simple either, even though she was not favored by the Song Family and merely held the empty title of the Song Family’s eldest daughter. But at that time, she had the backing of the Mu Family, her maternal grandfather’s clan, which was once a major family in An City. It was only later that the Mu Family fell into decline, and that’s why Gu Linyuan’s mother did not oppose, at the beginning, Song Qiao’s relationship with her son, thinking Song Qiao could still bring benefits to her family, which is why she did not stop them immediately.
Subsequently, when the Mu Family went bankrupt, Yun Wei just happened to return to the country, and since she had always been favored by Linyuan’s mother, she naturally became a bit restless.
After all, Linyuan’s mother is ultimately a woman blinded by snobbishness. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Gu’s mother naturally didn’t believe that Song Qiao was Lu Jingchen’s wife; in her opinion, a woman like Song Qiao should not lead a good life, nor should she be able to marry into a family with a higher status than the Gu Family, let alone the Lu Family of An City, who virtually have the power to cover the sky with one hand.
Immediately, disregarding her own status, she assumed Song Qiao was being deceitful and bluntly said, "Song Qiao, have you no shame? How dare you pretend to be the Young Mistress of the Lu Family? Do you know that impersonating this identity could get you arrested by the police, beware they make your life a living hell, do you think you, like this, can transform from a sparrow to a phoenix?"
Perhaps it was the first time Linyuan witnessed his mother being so... indiscreet with her words. Even though he had long known what kind of person his mother was, he had never seen such a scene before, and his mother’s words were particularly unsightly.
Even if unaware of Song Qiao’s current identity as Lu Jingchen’s wife, Linyuan still felt a trace of affection towards Song Qiao. His expression darkened, and he grabbed his mother by the arm, speaking sternly, "Mom, do you realize what you are saying? Song Qiao is indeed the Young Mistress of the Lu Family. Even if she wasn’t, you would still have no right to insult her in this way."
Song Qiao’s gaze settled on Linyuan, and the look in her eyes briefly shifted, but she said nothing further, merely somewhat surprised by Linyuan’s change of attitude.
If it had been before, Song Qiao knew that Linyuan had always been very respectful towards his mother, which was also why back when they broke up, he chose to stand by his mother, rather than believe in her.
But now, to see Linyuan treating his own mother in such a manner, for Song Qiao to say she wasn’t surprised would be somewhat disingenuous.
Though not extremely surprised, it was still beyond her expectations.
Gu’s mother looked at her son with disbelief, her eyes widening as though she couldn’t fathom her son treating her like this and helping another woman. Her face distorted with rage, not lashing out at Linyuan but instead glaring at Song Qiao, she hissed with clenched teeth, "Is it you, this woman, who has bewitched my son? What kind of spell have you cast on my boy? What right does a Song family girl, uncherished by her family, have to stand beside my son? I’m telling you, Song Qiao, unless I’m dead, don’t even think of stepping through the doors of the Gu Family..."
The shop assistant furrowed her brows slightly. Although she had seen her fair share of wealthy ladies and rich daughters while working here, she had never encountered a lady who behaved like a shrew.
In the eyes of the shop assistant, Gu’s mother had escalated to the epitome of "judging others solely by their status" and even "being completely unreasonable," not to mention being a particularly mean lady.
The assistant’s expression also soured, especially since Mr. Lu had just come in with Mrs. Lu, and even though she did not know where Mr. Lu had gone, she was well aware that he had come today to buy rings with Mrs. Lu. Most importantly, the shop employees had all noticed the doting looks Mr. Lu had for Mrs. Lu earlier, making it clear just how much Mr. Lu cherished Mrs. Lu.
Now, if anything happened to Mrs. Lu here, they doubted they could bear the consequences.
