Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

622 Sending Off His Adopted Daughter

Huo Xiaoran had been feeling troubled. Because he was too outstanding, Old Master Lu was insistent on handing the Lu Group over to him to manage.

Huo Xiaoran knew very well that the second branch of the Lu family was not easy to deal with. In order to avoid fighting with his blood relatives and walking on the path of discord like what happened with the Li family, Huo Xiaoran rejected Old Master Lu several times.

However, Old Master Lu was indignant.

He only had two sons. The eldest, Lu Ze, was well-versed in both literature and martial arts. Moreover, Lu Ze’s son and grandsons were all very well-educated and talented children. If he handed the Lu family group to them, they would definitely be able to flourish.

The second son, Lu Yu, did not marry a virtuous wife. Moreover, the Second Madam had a difficult pregnancy when she was young, causing her to be infertile for the rest of her life. It was not easy for him to adopt Second Madam’s niece, but because the Second Madam doted on the child, the child developed a flaw of being two-faced and scheming. More importantly, her genes were not from the Lu family after all, and her aptitude was ordinary.

Old Master Lu’s intentions created tension.

The Second Madam was very angry. She came to Lu Yu angrily and questioned, “Hubby, I heard that Dad wants to give the Lu Corporation to Huo Xiaoran. He’s so biased. Can’t you dissuade Old Master?”

Lu Yu pinched the space between his eyebrows in pain. “The company belongs to Old Master. He has the right to deal with the company. You should stay out of it.”

The Second Madam was furious. “You don’t fight for anything. Have you thought about what will happen to our daughter if we have nothing? Who will support us in our old age?”

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then glared at the Second Madam and warned her solemnly, “The Lu Corporation was built by Old Master with his blood and sweat. He wants to hand the Lu Corporation over to Xiaoran because Xiaoran has outstanding management experience and can lead the Lu Corporation to a higher level.”

“And you, don’t treat the Lu Corporation as the Lu family’s private property. Even if it’s Dad’s private property, he can split it however he wants. You and I have no right to interfere. Don’t mention this again.”

The Second Madam sat in front of Lu Yu angrily and said, “Hmph, I can tell that you don’t treat Xiaoyun as your biological daughter. You love your nephew more. That’s why you don’t fight for her.”

Lu Yu was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up. “Madam, your indolent face disgusts me.”

This was the first time he had spoken to the Second Madam with such disdain. The Second Madam was stunned.

All these years, the reason why she was spoiled and domineering was because of Lu Yu’s favor. Now that Lu Yu finally couldn’t take it anymore and said what was on his mind, Second Madam was very surprised.

In the end, she was unwilling to accept that her former status had been reversed. She tried to suppress Lu Yu with greater might. “Lu Yu, you actually shouted at me? Do you not love me anymore? Hmph, I want to divorce you.”

She knew that the Lu family wanted their dignity. They did not want her to divorce Lu Yu.

She also knew that this was the only way in which she could control Lu Yu.

But she had misjudged the situation this time. Lu Yu had accumulated too much disappointment, and he recognized Second Madam’s selfish personality. He was unwilling to be threatened by Second Madam again.

“You want a divorce? I’ll fulfill your wish,” Lu Yu said lightly.

Second Madam was just saying. She thought that a divorce could scare Lu Yu. She had not anticipated Lu Yu’s intention to divorce her. Second Madam was stunned.

“You really want to divorce me? Honey, you’re just saying, right?”

Lu Yu said solemnly, “I’m not joking with you. Our marriage should have ended long ago. Back then, when we were together, my parents objected to us. They said that our families were not compatible and that it would be very painful for us to force ourselves to be together. However, I was bewitched and insisted on marrying you. My parents respected me and agreed to let me marry you.”

“But all these years, I’ve really regretted not listening to my parents back then. Marrying you was the biggest mistake in my life. I don’t blame you for not giving the Lu family a boy or a girl, but I’m very disgusted that you don’t see the big picture and are arrogant and unreasonable. You also doted on Xiaoyun, causing her to become willful and lawless. If the Lu family really hands over the reins to you and me, the Lu family will really be finished.”

“Now that the heavens have opened their eyes and let my father find my brother, my father is heaving a sigh of relief. I also immediately feel that the burden is lighter. Yet you can’t see the big picture and only care about the interests of the small family. If you’re in the Lu family, Xiaoran and Qiao An won’t dare to come back at all. They’re afraid that the two families won’t get along and the family will have a conflict, which will be detrimental to long-term unity.”

Lu Yu said everything he was thinking. Only then did Second Madam know that in Lu Yu’s heart, she was no longer a young girl who could be spoiled at will.

“So you hated me for a long time?” she murmured.

There were a few tears in her eyes.

Lu Yu said, “Let’s get a divorce. I can give you all my assets. Don’t even think about my father’s company.”

Seeing that Lu Yu had made up his mind, the Second Madam immediately panicked.

“Hubby, I’m not getting a divorce. I was wrong. I’ll listen to you in the future. If you don’t want Old Master’s company, I don’t want it.”

The Second Madam did not only have a relationship with Lu Yu for benefits. She had feelings for Lu Yu and relied on him.

After all, other than Lu Yu, she could no longer come into contact with men of such a high class in this world. Therefore, logically speaking, she had to do her best to hold on to her long-term meal ticket.

“If you don’t want a divorce, send Lu Xiaoyun away. She liked her cousin and even caused so much trouble. She’s simply embarrassing.”

The Second Madam could not even protect herself. At this moment, she could not care less about Lu Xiaoyun. “Hubby, where are you sending her?”

“Send her overseas for a master’s degree. She can come back in six years.”

The Second Madam was stunned.

Six years later, Huo Xiaoran would have already established himself in the Lu family. When Lu Xiaoyun returned, she could not cause any trouble at all.

She also knew what Lu Yu meant. He was deliberately weakening Lu Xiaoyun’s influence in the Lu family, but she did not have the courage to resist.

“Fine.”

When the Second Madam told Lu Xiaoyun that she wanted to send her overseas to study, Lu Xiaoyun cried and said, “Mom, you can’t send me out. If I leave now, the eldest branch will come back. When they gain a foothold, you and I can only starve.”

Second Madam cried, “Xiaoyun, I have no choice. This time, I can’t protect you because your father doesn’t even want me anymore. He wants to divorce me.”

Lu Xiaoyun staggered in shock.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, Lu Xiaoyun sat on the ground dejectedly.
