Kicked out of a wealthy family? I became a rich and beautiful woman thanks to the system.

Chapter 129 Raising Money for the Wedding

The security guards at the Lu residence had heard about Wen Yao's situation, but they kept their mouths shut and dared not discuss it in private, much less tell anyone, otherwise they would lose their high-paying jobs.

"What? You mean Wen Jin and his family of three have come?"

Lu Shan and Chen Shuhua exchanged a glance.

"They probably came because they already knew Yao Yao was our child."

Lu Shan snorted coldly

"So what if they are? They treat Yao Yao badly. I think they're just trying to take advantage of her because the New Year is coming soon."

However, since this was the Wen family's first visit to the Lu residence, Lu Shan allowed them in out of courtesy.

The three were led into the tea room of the Lu residence, and after waiting for quite a while, Lu Shan and Chen Shuhua finally came to see them.

"Chairman Lu."

Upon seeing Lu San and his wife enter, the family of three immediately stood up.

Lu Shan waved his hand.

"It's alright, please sit down. You're from the Wen family, right?"

Wen Jin nodded.

"Yes, Chairman Lu, I am the chairman of Haicheng Wenshi Group."

After speaking, Lu Shan took a sip of tea and remained silent, leaving the room in an awkward situation.

Fortunately, Guan Fang usually enjoys having afternoon tea with the other ladies when she has free time, and she can keep eating non-stop for the whole afternoon.

"Oh, I'm so sorry to bother you all like this, but we had to come today. I heard from Huaicheng that Yaoyao is at your house right now."

As she spoke, Guan Fangqin was on the verge of tears.

"Although Yao Yao is not my biological daughter, she has been raised in our family for eighteen years. Even a pet would have some affection by now. I never expected that Yao Yao would actually be the daughter of Chairman Lu and Mrs. Lu. I can rest assured that she is so fortunate."

She spoke as if she and Wen Yao had a very good relationship.

Lu Shan spoke coldly.

“We are indeed Yao Yao’s biological parents, but Yao Yao doesn’t live at the Lu residence now. Didn’t you inquire about that before you came?”

Guan Fangqin was taken aback, and felt a little embarrassed.

Wen Jin immediately tried to cover up his mistake.

"Actually, we didn't mean anything by it. We just wanted to come and see you two as Yao Yao's adoptive parents. It's been a long time since we've seen Yao Yao."

By revealing their identities as Wen Yao's adoptive parents, they wouldn't be easily driven away by the Lu family.

Guan Fangqin nodded repeatedly

"Yes, yes, Yao Yao has been in our family for 18 years, and we all treat her like a treasure."

No wonder Yao Yao has grown into such a beautiful young woman; she's the child of Chairman Lu and Mrs. Lu.

Guan Fangqin began to flatter him, when suddenly she caught sight of the yellow jade bracelet on Chen Shuhua's wrist.

She's seen plenty of good stuff, and she recognized its quality at a glance.

"Oh, Mrs. Lu, this yellow jade bracelet on your wrist looks really good. It must be worth at least several million. Chairman Lu is so good to you."

Because Wen Yao bought it in Lingyu, it was much cheaper. If it had been bought in Longguo, the price would have been several times higher.

Chen Shuhua glanced at the bracelet

"This was a gift from Yao Yao. She went to Lingyu a while ago and met a lot of people who work with jade there. She thoughtfully brought me one, and the size is just right."

Upon hearing that it was a gift from Wen Yao, Guan Fangqin's smile froze, and she stared longingly at the bracelet.

“When this child first came to our family, she was independent and self-reliant. She never asked us for a single penny. This bracelet was also bought for me with the money she earned herself.”

Hearing this, Guan Fangqin felt even worse, as if she had sold a stock that was about to skyrocket in value.

I don't know what kind of luck that girl had, she suddenly became rich, and every investment she made made money.

Guan Fangqin grew increasingly envious of the jade pendant on Chen Shuhua's wrist.

"Ah... Yao Yao has indeed been very promising since she was a child."

Wen Jin felt that the time was right and it was time to bring up the matter of cooperation.

"I didn't expect such a coincidence. Just last night, I was talking to a project manager from the Lu Group about cooperation."

When I got home that evening, Huaicheng told me about it.

Lu Shan chuckled to himself, thinking, "They said they were here to freeload, so they really are."

"Cooperation? What cooperation?"

"Oh, it's a collaboration to provide materials to Lu's branch."

Lu Shan knew that this was his purpose, and naturally he was somewhat unwilling to help him.

"I've had a pretty good talk with the manager over this period of time, and now it's just a matter of seeing what Chairman Lu thinks."

Lu Shan curled her lips into a smile.

"As for this matter, I'll listen to Yao Yao. Yao Yao said she'd give the order to you, so I'll give it to you."

Wen Jin raised an eyebrow, not expecting that Wen Yao would have a say in the affairs of the Lu Group.

Before Lu Shan could even speak, the butler standing to the side had already made a phone call to Wen Yao.

"Hey?"

"Young Miss, the Wen family has arrived."

The housekeeper told Wen Yao the whole story.

Wen Yao was furious.

"Tell them to wait, I'll be right there."

Lu Shan and Chen Shuhua were delighted to hear that Wen Yao was coming to the Lu residence soon, and they asked the chef to prepare some snacks.

Less than twenty minutes later, Wen Yao entered the room wearing a mink fur coat.

"Didn't I already give you ten million? Why are you still coming? Are you so greedy?"

This statement made the Wen family feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Ten million is a lot for you, isn't it? Have you spent it all?"

The Wen family is not a large family, and ten million is already a lot of money. Moreover, they have not spent nearly ten million on Wen Yao.

"Oh, I see. I heard that your girlfriend is pregnant, Wen Huaicheng. Are you trying to raise money for your wedding?"

Wen Huaicheng immediately looked up at him, a hint of shame in his eyes.

They kept Tian Zhaozhao's pregnancy a secret from everyone, and very few people even knew that Tian Zhaozhao had been following him.

"No, Huaicheng hasn't had a girlfriend since he broke up with the Lin family's daughter. Yaoyao, where did you hear this rumor? You can't just spread it like that, it's bad for everyone's reputation."

How could Guan Fangqin possibly be interested in a woman like Tian Zhaozhao, even though she was already pregnant with the Wen family's child?

"Are you guys turning your backs on me now that you've done your job?"

Wen Yao looked at Wen Huaicheng with a mocking expression.

Tian Zhaozhao did use some tricks, but no one forced Wen Huaicheng to be with her.

"You—that's really rude of you, a girl like you."

Guan Fangqin almost revealed her true colors, but thankfully she reacted at the last moment.

"Say whatever you want, anyway, that child isn't mine, and I've already given you ten million. If you want to cooperate with the Lu family, go and participate in the bidding. Don't come to the Lu residence under my guise."

Then she turned to the butler and said...

"Butler, tidy up and prepare to see the guests off!"

After saying that, Wen Yao walked out of the tea room. Lu Shan and Chen Shuhua exchanged a glance, smiled, and also walked out of the tea room.
