Chapter 244 - 244: Declaration of Severing Ties, Thank You 1
Lu Lehua stared at him and suddenly raised her voice, “An Mulin, are you planning to give this card to Nan Yan?”
The reason she asked this was that she had overheard An Mulin’s phone conversation with An Xiran last time, where An Xiran mentioned that Nan Yan was in dire need of money.
An Mulin looked at Lu Lehua, his expression turning cold as if he had committed some heinous crime. He nodded in acknowledgment, saying, “Yes, I wanted to give her the money, but she refused.”
Lu Lehua felt her blood rush to her head. She couldn’t believe that An Mulin, after how Nan Yan had treated all of them, would secretly try to please her. So he went to give her money, and when she didn’t accept it, he felt uncomfortable here?
“You’re absolutely unreasonable! Why should you give her your money? She doesn’t even recognize you as her brother, and you’re rushing to please her, but she’s not appreciative! ”
Lu Lehua had no positive feelings whatsoever towards Nan Yan. Even if there was a tiny bit of regret in the past, it had been completely erased by her recent cold and ungrateful behavior, as well as her repeated embarrassing actions.
Even though she now knew that An Muyao had intentionally guided Nan Yan into making mistakes, she still felt a stronger attachment to the daughter she had raised with her own hands.
“I’m unreasonable?” An Mulin felt somewhat speechless. “Nan Yan is my own sister, so it’s only natural that I should spend my money on her.”
Unfortunately, he didn’t have that opportunity anymore.
An Mulin had long regretted how he had treated Nan Yan in the past. Now, he wanted to make amends, but it was already too late.
Lu Lehua questioned, “Does she recognize you?”
“Whether she recognizes me or not, she is still my sister,” An Mulin replied with determination. “I’ve made so many mistakes, I can’t afford to make more.”
Lu Lehua looked at him, exasperated by his stubbornness, and left in frustration.
She couldn’t understand why someone like Nan Yan, so unruly and disobedient, with so many bad habits, would be liked by anyone.
Old Master An liked her, the youngest liked her, and now even the second son had changed.
What about her own daughter, Yao Yao?
Lu Lehua suddenly felt worried. What if, after a year or so, when An Muyao returned, there was no longer a place for her in this family? What would she do then?
No, she couldn’t let that happen!
Since Nan Yan had chosen to distance herself from the An family and didn’t want their home, then she should leave completely!
She shouldn’t stay in the old mansion anymore!
That evening at 8 o’clock, Lu Lehua posted a statement on her social network.
In the statement, Lu Lehua intentionally placed the blame on Nan Yan, claiming that she had an unsociable personality, questionable character, and disrespect for her elders. Therefore, she declared that Nan Yan was no longer considered part of the An family.
This amounted to a declaration of disownment.
Generally, such actions are taken only when children or siblings commit grave offenses that tarnish the family’s reputation.
Nan Yan’s previous actions had caused quite a stir online, and many people were aware of her name. Now, with Lu Lehua’s declaration, she once again became the center of attention for internet users.
Lu Lehua was the verified wife of the An Group’s president, a true high-society lady who often flaunted her wealth within her social circles, making her quite well-known.
Most of her followers were also affluent women from high society.
After being widely shared, her statement quickly trended on social media.
As Lu Lehua observed the negative comments about Nan Yan that had emerged due to her words, she received a phone call from Old Master An.
Seeing Old Master An’s name on the screen, her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively hung up the call.
Old Master An doted on Nan Yan, and this call was likely to be an inquiry filled with anger!
Not two minutes later, the phone rang again.
Lu Lehua gritted her teeth and reluctantly answered the call.
“Dad…”
“Le Hua, you’ve really gone too far. A biological mother, publicly smearing her own daughter on the internet, what on earth are you thinking?” Old Master An’s angry voice was accompanied by a heavy cough.
He was truly on the verge of being infuriated by Lu Lehua.
Who would treat their own biological daughter this way?
From beginning to end, what had Yanyan done wrong?
All she did was choose to leave the An family after being deeply hurt, wishing not to have any further dealings with them.
Was Lu Lehua unable to find any room in her heart for her own daughter?
If Lu Lehua were in front of him right now, he might not be able to control himself from giving her a resounding slap.
Even if Lu Lehua was his daughter-in-law, not his daughter.
Lu Lehua argued, “Dad, isn’t this what she wanted? She wanted to cut ties with the An family, and I’m just helping her with that.. What’s wrong with that?”
