Chapter 175 Wen Li is Humiliated
"Let's go in." The lady took her arm and led her inside.
Security guards were stationed at the entrance. When they learned that Wen Minhui had invited them, they let them in.
The Lu family home is very large, no different from the old-fashioned mansions, with winding corridors, pavilions and terraces scattered in a well-organized manner. Just stepping inside makes one feel calm and peaceful.
Every brick and tile, seemingly random, actually reveals exquisite craftsmanship and profound cultural heritage.
The noblewoman couldn't help but whisper to Wen Li, "As expected of the Lu family, the number one family, they are indeed extraordinary."
"I heard that the entire Lu family still lives in the old house because of Miss Lu, who disappeared when she was very young."
“They were supposed to move to Langting Garden, but they didn’t want to go. They said, ‘If we move away, what will happen if their Jiaojiao comes back and can’t find them?’ You don’t know, do you? The missing eldest daughter of the Lu family is named Lu Jiao, the only biological daughter of Old Master Lu.”
"It was only after the real eldest daughter of the Lu family disappeared that Miss Wen was truly adopted by Old Master Lu."
Wen Li listened quietly to the noblewoman's words.
no answer.
She's feeling a bit confused right now.
For some reason, she had a very familiar feeling from the moment she stepped into the Lu family home.
She seems to have... been here before.
Therefore, she didn't quite hear what the lady was saying.
"You must have been invited by our young lady?"
When they reached a pavilion, a servant came over and asked, "Excuse me, which one of you is Madam Zhang?"
“Yes, I am,” the elegant lady next to Wen Li replied.
"Our young lady is upstairs. Please come in. Please follow us."
The maid spoke enthusiastically, completely ignoring Wen Li.
The lady was stunned. She had clearly come with Wen Li, so why did Wen Minhui let her go in alone?
“This is Madam Chu,” the noblewoman said, speaking up for Wen Li. “She was also invited by Miss Lu. Let’s go in together.”
The maid maintained her smile, "I don't know. I'm just a maid, following the master's orders. Our young lady only allowed Madam Zhang to go up, and didn't mention anyone else."
"This..." Madam Zhang frowned and looked at Wen Li with difficulty.
Wen Li noticed her predicament and said, "It's alright, you go in first, I'll wait here a bit longer."
After saying that, she said something to the maid.
Tell the maid to go and tell Wen Minhui that she has come over.
The maid nodded with a forced smile and left with Madam Zhang.
Wen Li stood outside alone.
It's almost December now, and the temperature in Beijing is lower than in other places. It's already cold in December. It's okay indoors, but standing outside like this, with the cold wind blowing, Wen Li couldn't help but pull her clothes tighter.
She stood there for more than half an hour, and no servant paid any attention to her.
Wen Minhui did not invite her in.
Wen Li then understood.
Wen Minhui did it on purpose, deliberately trying to give her a hard time.
"Doesn't your young lady have any instructions?" Wen Li asked, pulling at a maid.
The maid gave her an impatient look: "What are you telling me? Just wait when I tell you to wait. Why are you talking so much? If you don't want to wait, then go back."
Wen Li pursed her lips, feeling somewhat embarrassed, but ultimately did not leave.
Chu Tian was so troubled by the cooperation with the Lu family.
She was finally about to see Wen Minhui and didn't want to give up.
The second floor of the attic.
Wen Minhui and her group of sisters were drinking tea, and from their angle, they could see Wen Li standing in the cold wind, shivering.
It was just a bit far away, so I couldn't see Wen Li's face clearly; I could only see her silhouette.
Wen Minhui sipped her tea nonchalantly, while the group of noblewomen exchanged bewildered glances.
It's obvious to everyone that Wen Minhui did it on purpose.
He deliberately embarrassed Wen Li.
Wen Li had a good reputation in the capital. She was a kind person, and the wealthy ladies all got along well with her. They couldn't bear to see her suffer like this.
“Miss Lu, it’s windy outside, and Wen Li is in poor health. Why don’t you let her in?”
The wealthy woman who came with Wen Li couldn't stand it any longer and couldn't help but speak up.
Wen Minhui elegantly sipped her tea, her gaze sweeping over the lady who had spoken: "Mrs. Zhang, you have a very good relationship with her?"
She asked the question casually, but her eyes clearly held a coldness in them.
Madam Zhang opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. The noblewoman next to her quickly pulled her aside, telling her not to speak up for Wen Li.
It was obvious that Wen Li had offended Wen Minhui, and they couldn't speak up for Wen Li, lest they offend Wen Minhui as well.
They all have families they can't afford to offend.
In the entire capital, only the Si family and the Xiao family can rival the Lu family.
Looking at the group of ladies who had fallen silent, Wen Minhui lowered her eyes and sipped her tea. Her lowered eyes held disdain and mockery for these upper-class ladies, as well as a sense of superiority.
She thoroughly enjoyed the feeling.
Everyone listened to her and was afraid of her.
In this way, her humiliating time in the orphanage can be erased.
She put down her teacup and her gaze slowly fell on Wen Li, who was trembling below.
They're too far apart.
She couldn't see Wen Li's face.
In fact, she had no grudges against Wen Li and shouldn't have targeted her like this.
But it was Wen Li who offended her daughter.
Her precious daughter rarely spoke up, so naturally she wanted to oblige.
……
not far away.
Lu Wanwan and Chu Yan were also watching Wen Li being humiliated.
Both of them felt extremely happy.
If Chu Miao is so arrogant, then her own mother is still bullied like a grandson here.
"Yan Yan, are you happy now?" Lu Wanwan smiled at Chu Yan: "Didn't you say that your aunt often bullied you? Now I've avenged you!"
Chu Yan smiled, "Thank you, Yan Yan. But will this have any effect on you?"
She still looked worried.
"What could possibly happen!" Lu Wanwan said dismissively, not taking Wen Li seriously at all. She thought it was just bullying a woman from a lowly family. They had bullied her today, so what?
What can the Chu family do?
The Lu family is a scholarly family with influence in various parts of the capital. What can Chu Miao do to them?
"I'm not doing this entirely for you; I'm also doing it to vent my anger." Lu Wanwan didn't want Chu Yan to feel too burdened, so she added, "She can't discipline her daughter properly, letting that Chu Miaomiao be so arrogant, even giving me attitude in the store. She deserves to suffer too!"
Chu Yan lowered his head, but his eyes couldn't stop smiling.
They've been oppressed by the Chu family for so long, and now it's finally their turn to be oppressed by her.
"correct!"
As if remembering something, Lu Wanwan pulled something out of her pocket: "Didn't you want to live in Langting Garden? Here's the key, for you!"
