Chapter 280 Seeking Skin from a Tiger
Lu Yiheng looked at Yang Wenqi for a moment and said with a smile: "My little aunt is also a smart person, otherwise she would not have become the daughter-in-law of our Lu family. Do you really not understand what I am saying?"
Yang Wenqi just wanted to set up a persona that was not competitive, so naturally she had never thought of pretending to be innocent in front of Lu Yiheng. But she looked at Lu Yiheng and did not reply, because whoever took the initiative to speak would be the leader of this matter, and would be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences when the truth was revealed.
As long as she didn't speak, Lu Yiheng would have to speak, otherwise things wouldn't go on.
Lu Yiheng did not want to hide it. After all, his goal was to win over Yang Wenqi, so he put the teacup on the table and continued, "Lu Xingchen is not my second uncle's biological daughter after all. If she takes control of the Lu family, then the Lu family will be equivalent to taking her surname Lu. Whether Sister Xinyue can finally enter the Lu family, and whether those of us who have offended her can continue to stay in the Lu family are all uncertain. Besides, my second uncle is only fifty-four years old, which is a good age for a man to do business. He can still take charge of the Lu family for at least twenty years, and Xinyue will not be young by then. Letting Lu Xingchen come back will only shorten his time in office, because Lu Xingchen will definitely not wait for my second uncle's biological daughter, your daughter Lu Xinyue to grow up."
Lu Yiheng's words hit the mark of Yang Wenqi's heart. She lowered her eyes to hide the triumph in them. After a long silence, she looked up at Lu Yiheng and smiled.
“Yiheng, I just trust your second uncle and don’t want to get involved in the Lu family’s affairs, but don’t treat me like a fool.”
Lu Yiheng pretended to be confused at this time, “Why does my aunt think so?”
Yang Wenqi still smiled and said bluntly: "Among the children of your and Lu Xingchen's generation in the Lu family, you are the one most likely to become the heir. Since you are worried that Lu Xingchen's return will threaten your position, how could you not be wary of your second uncle's biological daughter Xinyue?"
"Aunt." Lu Yiheng said in a tone that was very wronged. "Xinyue and I are a family. She is my biological sister. Why would I be on guard against her?"
There was no way Yang Wenqi believed him, so she picked up the tea and took a sip, not wanting to laugh.
Lu Yiheng took a step back to advance: "Even if my aunt doesn't believe me, at least the threat I pose to Sister Xinyue is less than that posed by Lu Xingchen. Besides, from your perspective, Sister Xinyue still has my second uncle as her biological father. Do you think he will easily hand over the inheritance rights to me before Xinyue grows up?"
This actually hit the nail on the head with Yang Wenqi's heart. She knew that Lu Dingsheng had a crush on Lu Xingchen, but she also knew that Lu Dingsheng loved Lu Xinyue very much. However, these did not make her believe in Lu Yiheng. However, she took a step back and pulled Lu Yiheng into her plan.
"Then what do you want me to do for you?"
"You're not helping me. I just think that my aunt should whisper in my second uncle's ear and ask him not to let Lu Xingchen return to the Lu family." Lu Yiheng fixed his eyes on Yang Wenqi, as if he wanted to see her inner thoughts through her eyes.
Yang Wenqi asked back: "How will this wind blow? If I directly say that it's for Xinyue, what will your second uncle think of me?"
Lu Yiheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he already had a plan in mind, "I know my aunt won't believe me easily, but if you are worried that it will affect your relationship with your second uncle, or his opinion of you, you can use me as an excuse."
This kid is really greedy. Yang Wenqi looked at him and asked, "How can I use you as an excuse?"
Lu Yiheng: "Like everyone else, you oppose Lu Xingchen and support me, which is equivalent to you helping the right side instead of your relatives."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wenqi put the teacup back on the table and said with a smile, "If you want me to support you, then you should show your ability. After all, your second uncle highly values the position of the capable. Otherwise, I won't be so generous."
Lu Yiheng frowned slightly, sensitively realizing that Yang Wenqi was reminding him that he lost the bid to Lu Xingchen this time, but he didn't want to admit it directly and asked Yang Wenqi instead, "Aunt, what aspect of my ability are you dissatisfied with? Tell me so that I can improve it."
"You need to further improve both your management ability and your professional level." Yang Wenqi said calmly, "Just like in this bidding, with your ability, you shouldn't let Lu Xingchen take advantage of you."
As expected, she also knew about this. Although Lu Xingchen was not in the Lu Group, he lost face again. A hint of displeasure flashed across Lu Yiheng's eyes, but he quickly returned to his smile. He looked at the calmness on Yang Wenqi's face, but this time he saw that this person wanted to use him to get rid of Lu Xingchen.
"I really shouldn't have let Lu Xingchen take advantage of me." No matter what, Yang Wenqi is now against Lu Xingchen, so her goal is the same as his, so what does it matter if he helps her get rid of Lu Xingchen, the biggest threat? "Then if I am more capable than Lu Xingchen, my aunt, don't break your promise."
"Of course, since you can think of Xinyue and me, I will naturally help you keep an eye out for suitable projects and give you the opportunity to demonstrate your strength." Yang Wenqi gave him a candy at the right time.
Lu Yiheng was secretly happy in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface: "Thank you, little aunt, I will definitely not let you down."
The two chatted some more about the Lu Group, and then Luo Yayin came over after feeding her youngest son.
Lu Yiheng said to Yang Wenqi, "I'll go see the child first."
"It's time to change the handle for Yain."
Yang Wenqi watched him leave, thinking about her next plan. She knew that if she wanted to win in this power struggle, she had to be cautious and take every step carefully.
"Brother, sister-in-law!" A sunny and cheerful voice came from the door.
Yang Wenqi turned her head and saw the tall and handsome Lu Yize walking in. He was accompanied by the reluctant Lu Andi and a beautiful and elegant girl...
Yang Wenqi knew this girl.
Chen Xiaolin, the daughter of Chen Shufen, who was the aunt who took care of Xu Fanghua and later became Lu Xingchen's full-time nanny, was allowed to bring her daughter into the Lu family because of Xu Fanghua's trust in Chen Shufen.
Later, Lu Dingsheng not only arranged for Chen Xiaolin to go to the same school as the children of the Lu family, but also provided the same after-school training. Chen Xiaolin herself was very smart and would take advantage of such opportunities, so that she was better than many children of the Lu family.
During the days when Lu Xingchen was not in the country, she was a classmate of Lu Andi and often tutored Lu Yize. Therefore, after Lu Xingchen was kicked out of the Lu family, Yang Wenqi occasionally saw her and Lu Andi going in and out of the Lu family. So she knew her, but just didn't know her very well.
Lu Yize came over and found Yang Wenqi, and said with surprise: "Second Aunt, you are also... bringing Xinyue here to play?"
Yang Wenqi couldn't help but think of Shen Mingzhen when she saw his handsome appearance. She also thought of the sound of this man and Shen Mingzhen having sex on the phone. She smiled and said, "Yes, Xinyue insisted on coming over, so your uncle and I had no choice but to bring her here. I didn't expect everyone to be here."
Lu Yize: "I promised my nieces to come and play together."
Lu Andi behind him crossed his arms across his chest and said unhappily, “Then you don’t have to pull me over, right?”
Lu Yize smiled at her with all his white teeth, "It's all to save your childishness from being buried in the nightclub."
Yang Wenqi smiled at the bickering siblings and asked casually, "Who is this?"
Chen Xiaolin greeted her politely and courteously: "Hello, my name is Chen Xiaolin, and I'm Andy's friend."
Lu An Di explained to Yang Wenqi: "I can't be harmed by these little beasts alone, so I called someone to suffer together."
What she said was actually half true. After all, she didn't like children as much as Lu Yize.
Yang Wenqi thought she was joking and continued, "The little beasts are playing inside."
At this time, Lu Yiheng approached Luo Yayin, who was holding a ten-month-old baby, and Lu Yize couldn't wait to help Luo Yayin hold the baby.
As an outsider, Chen Xiaolin politely greeted the couple: "Brother Heng, sister-in-law, long time no see."
