Chapter 408: Scammed out of more than five thousand yuan

Xie Yun tried to probe further, "How much money did you spend on him in total?"

Lu Ya thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I forgot."

"Probably?" Xie Yun gently steered the conversation.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Probably more than five thousand, I didn't remember the exact number."

As soon as she said this, everyone in the living room looked grim.

More than five thousand...

That's several years' wages for an ordinary worker.

Grandpa Lu knew that his second son and his wife spoiled their child, but he never expected that their child had become so extravagant.

Lu Ya had been working for less than a month.

She hasn't earned any money yet.

Those five thousand or so were all given to her by Lu Shaoan.

A vocational school student had more pocket money than a cadre.

This girl was ruined by that couple.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her with stern faces, she quickly changed her tune, "However, those were all our shared expenses, not just his."

"You still can't accept the fact that you've been deceived, is that it?" Lu Zheng'an looked at Lu Ya with a serious expression and a deep voice. "They only wanted your money and your family background, not you as a person."

"Am I really that bad?" Lu Ya stood there, muttering to herself.

"Xiaoya, love between people depends on fate. It doesn't mean that just because you are outstanding, others will necessarily like you."

Lu Shan, who had been indifferent to the matter, couldn't help but speak up at this moment, "It's obvious that the man has another woman in his heart, but because he is poor, he feels inferior in front of that woman, so he treats you as a cash cow. You just said that the money you spent on him wasn't all spent by him."

Lu Shan added casually, "He probably didn't spend much; he spent it all on that woman from the teachers' college."

Lu Ya stood there, looking unconvinced, and wanted to argue back.

Even though he had been holding back his temper, Old Master Lu finally lost his temper over the five thousand yuan. "Get out of here and reflect on your actions and write a self-criticism. You don't need to go to work tomorrow."

Grandpa Lu would rather she lose her job than let her go out and fool around.

Lu Ya bit her lip, not daring to argue any further, and slunk upstairs with her head down.

After she left, the atmosphere in the living room became even more somber.

Wang Shufen looked anxious.

She still places all her hopes on the old man and Lu Zheng'an.

They are, after all, the men of the family.

As a woman, she felt truly helpless in the face of this problem when Lu Shaoan wasn't home.

The key issue is that wretched girl she gave birth to; she's utterly hopeless.

She's completely impervious to reason.

"Dad, what do we do now?"

Wang Shufen cautiously looked at Old Master Lu, asking for his opinion.

"Let her reflect on her actions first."

Old Master Lu looked at Wang Shufen with a stern face and scolded, "You should also reflect on your actions."

"What am I supposed to reflect on?" Wang Shufen muttered, looking aggrieved.

Grandpa Lu said angrily, "You, as her mother, bear an unshirkable responsibility for how your daughter has become like this. Over the years, we have all seen how you have spoiled Lu Ya. You always said you wanted to raise her in luxury, and this is the result of your spoiling."

“I’ve told you before that the so-called ‘raising a child in a wealthy manner’ means broadening her horizons and enriching her knowledge, not just letting her eat, drink, and have fun without knowing the hardships of life and sponging off her parents.”

At this point, Old Master Lu's beard trembled with anger, and he sighed, "You two, you really don't know your place just because you've made a little money."

Over the years, the second son has never given his father even five hundred yuan.

But that girl ended up spending over five thousand yuan on a conman.

"Dad, I know I was wrong."

Wang Shufen also regretted that she had spoiled her daughter in the past, always thinking that since her family's life was better, she must give her the best living conditions and raise her like a princess.

However, the issue of education has been overlooked.

She thought that as long as her daughter grew up happily, it wouldn't be difficult for her to find a good partner with their family's resources, and she could just enjoy life in the future.

She doesn't need to work as hard as other girls her age to support her family.

Therefore, she always pampered her, allowing her to live a glamorous life, with the best food, clothing, and other necessities.

Lu Shaoan was the same; whenever Lu Ya asked for money, he would give it to her without hesitation.

She thought that if Lu Ya followed the path she had laid out, with her looks and family background, finding a suitable and outstanding young man would be a piece of cake.

The key issue is that this brat is too rebellious.

It's too late to say anything now.

Ready-made education is definitely not up to par.

At least Lu Ya wouldn't listen to what she said.

The most urgent task right now is to resolve her relationship with Li Wei as soon as possible and make her give up on that scumbag.

Then slowly look for a suitable blind date.

Thinking of this, Wang Shufen sincerely admitted her mistake, "Dad, I will educate her properly in the future, but you and my brother need to think of a solution for this matter. Shao An said that if Lu Ya is still entangled with that man when he comes back, he will break Lu Ya's legs and sever his father-daughter relationship with her."

Wang Shufen knew in her heart that although Lu Shaoan seemed to spoil Lu Ya, he had always been a sexist at heart. Although he loved Lu Ya, he only provided her with a comfortable life.

They didn't put any effort into nurturing her.

On the contrary, from the moment he succeeded in starting his business, he brought Lu Hai under his wing and groomed him to become the company's second-in-command.

Therefore, if Lu Ya continues to court disaster and tarnish their reputation, Lu Shaoan will definitely sever ties with her.

They kicked her out of the house.

She's a mother; she can't let Lu Ya be ruined like this.

But as a woman, she really didn't know what to do at this time.

Grandpa Lu did not respond to Wang Shufen. He waved his hand wearily and stood up. "Alright, everyone go and rest. Let that girl repent first."

At Grandpa Lu's words, Bai Zhi and the others quickly got up and prepared to go back inside.

He looked at Lu Zheng'an and said, "Zheng'an, come to my room."

"Okay," Lu Zheng'an replied, and followed Old Master Lu into the house.

Bai Zhi glanced at Old Master Lu's bedroom before going upstairs.

She guessed that her grandfather would most likely still get involved in this matter.

It's impossible to just stand by and watch Lu Ya really jump into a fire pit.

This is actually the best way.

Given Lu Ya's tendency to be love-struck, if her family didn't get involved, Li Wei could easily win her over with a few sweet words.

If she followed Li Wei because of love, then there's something to say.

The key issue is that he doesn't love her at all.

He was only after her family background and wealth.

Even when she was with Li Wei, he would still make endless demands.

But if she cuts ties with her family and doesn't get a penny, Li Wei will dump her without hesitation.

She will naturally realize it by then.

However, if that were the case, the price to pay would be too high.

Old Master Lu would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

Bai Zhi went upstairs and back to her room.

She was happy to see this result.

At least with the parents involved, Lu Ya was saved.

Whether she likes it or not, it's impossible for her and Li Wei to be together.

As long as she stops courting death, she can be said to have reversed her fate from her previous life.
