Chapter 410: Promise to Sever Relationship

Wang Shufen actually adopted Lu Shan and Bai Zhi's suggestions, and Old Master Lu looked displeased but didn't say anything.

Wang Shufen wasn't sure what her father thought, so she looked at him and asked, "Dad, what do you suggest we do?"

Old Master Lu said angrily, "Why are you asking me? Since she's willing to abandon this family for a man, then let her go. From now on, our Lu family will pretend she never existed."

Everyone else was too scared to say a word.

Of course, it's also not appropriate to express an opinion at this time.

Wang Shufen knew that Lu Ya had disappointed everyone this time, and she herself was heartbroken and didn't want to continue trying to persuade her.

Perhaps Lu Shan and the others are right; letting her go out and face a setback might finally make her give up.

Some paths in life are destined to be walked by her alone.

They were certain that if Lu Yaneng severed ties with her family, lost her job, and became penniless, Li Wei would definitely abandon her.

When that time comes, she will come back on her own and kneel down to beg her family for forgiveness.

Wang Shufen decided to take drastic measures.

Let's take a gamble.

After dinner, everyone else went to work, and Grandpa Lu angrily went back to his room.

Wang Shufen went upstairs to Lu Ya's room.

When she went in, Lu Ya was still lying in bed.

Seeing her dejected state, Wang Shufen was furious. She went over, yanked the covers off, and pulled Lu Ya out of bed.

When Lu Ya saw her mother come in again, her eyes were vacant and numb. She was dragged up and sat on the bed like a walking corpse.

Wang Shufen, however, was calmer now, and said in a light tone, "Weren't you going to find that man? We agreed."

Because of her words, Lu Ya's blank expression suddenly brightened, and she looked at Wang Shufen to confirm, "Mom, what did you say?"

“I said, we won’t interfere in your affairs anymore. You’re free now. You can date whoever you want; we won’t interfere,” Wang Shufen reiterated her meaning.

"Mom, you..."

Lu Ya looked at Wang Shufen in astonishment, clearly not believing her words.

I always felt that her mother was deliberately being stubborn.

Wang Shufen continued, "This was also your grandfather's idea."

Lu Ya's expression became even more astonished.

Grandpa agreed too?

She was just pondering the truth of her mother's words when Wang Shufen spoke again, "But... the premise is that you sever ties with this family."

Lu Ya, “???”

“The Lu family has no child as foolish as you. From now on, you have nothing to do with us.”

You're an adult now and should be responsible for your own life. Forcing you to stay at home will only turn you into an enemy.

"Since you value love above all else, then go after love. We have completed our duty of raising you, and you can leave now. Just make sure you don't regret it later."

After saying these words, Wang Shufen still held onto hope in her heart.

Hopefully, Lu Ya will eventually realize her mistake.

She's already said all that. If Lu Ya truly cared about her parents, she wouldn't have abandoned her family for a hoodlum she'd only known for a little over a year.

"Mom, you want me to make a choice?" Lu Ya looked at Wang Shufen in disbelief and asked.

Wang Shufen said calmly but firmly, "Yes, if you choose Li Wei, you must sever ties with us."

"Mom, do you have to be so heartless?" Lu Ya frowned, even a little angry.

Why doesn't her own mother understand her and insists on making things difficult for her?

Faced with the choice between the palm and the back of her hand, how would she choose?

Lu Ya's behavior made Wang Shufen even more disheartened.

Her daughter, raised by her, is selfish and never thinks about her family.

Self-centered in everything.

"It's you who's heartless, it's you who abandoned this family."

I said, the choice is yours now, you make the decision.

This is also what your father and grandfather wanted; they fully respect your decision.

Hearing Wang Shufen's words, Lu Ya's face crumpled up. She sat there, feeling extremely conflicted and distressed.

This choice was too cruel for her.

But she could tell that her mother wasn't joking with her this time.

She even brought up her grandfather and father, which shows that they really want her to make a choice.

They were all well aware of her feelings for Li Wei, and forcibly confining her at home like this wouldn't solve anything.

It will only hurt her.

She genuinely didn't understand why her family was so authoritarian.

Why can't we just support her in pursuing love?

He didn't sleep a wink last night. I figured something out: his mother actually had a purpose in taking him to the mall to buy things yesterday.

This is a setup.

They already knew that Li Wei had taken Zhang Qiuhua shopping at the mall, so they deliberately brought her there and even had Gu Xiaoyue put on that show.

That was to make her misunderstand.

So this means they're going to set her free?

This made her believe Li Wei's words even more.

Her mother deliberately set up a scheme with Xie Zheng to break her up with Li Wei.

She wasn't fooled.

So now they're using this extreme method to make a choice for her.

"Mom, I love you all very much, but you also know what kind of person I am. I am a free spirit and I don't like to be bound. I used to be very grateful that I was born into a family like the Lu family, but at the same time, the shackles of the military compound also made me feel very depressed. From childhood to adulthood, my grandfather has never liked me much and often compares me with my cousin. I really hate that."

Lu Ya spoke her mind, then looked at Wang Shufen and said cautiously, "Mom, I know you love me very much and care about me a lot, so you will definitely respect my choice. You will understand me, right, Mom?"

Wang Shufen nodded with an indifferent expression, "Respect, complete respect."

Wang Shufen was unusually easy to talk to.

Lu Ya was flattered.

She was caught in a dilemma.

She didn't want to make a choice.

But she knew this was her only chance to fight for happiness, and if she wasn't brave and decisive, she would miss out on her true love forever.

So, when Lu Zaizai realized that her mother was really giving her a choice, she finally mustered up her courage and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I choose Li Wei."

Upon hearing Lu Ya's words, Wang Shufen felt a chill run down her spine, and she stumbled, almost falling.

Although she had already guessed the answer in her heart, she still couldn't accept it when Lu Ya actually said those words.

Unable to accept that her daughter would choose to sever ties with a petty thug for his sake.

She took a deep breath, showing no emotion, and said calmly, "Fine, since you've made up your mind, let's write a written agreement as proof."

"What? We need to write a written agreement?" Lu Ya looked at Wang Shufen in surprise.

Is this for real?

Wang Shufen replied, "Of course, you have to write a written commitment to sever ties with us and give up all inheritance rights to the family property. Then this family will have nothing to do with you anymore."
