“Silly Lass, how could I not dote on you? I’m sure you know that I dote on you!”
Mu Tianwei frantically tried to coax Luo Zheng after seeing that she was getting upset.
He only pampered Luo Zheng because of the shares she owned.
The Luo Family treated all their children equally. Not to mention, Luo Zheng’s mother was the only daughter of the Luo Family and hence, had been pampered and doted on by Luo Zheng’s maternal grandfather.
Hence, the Luo Family gifted Luo Zheng’s mother with ten percent of the Luo Family’s shares, as her dowry.
Those shares were then bequeathed to Luo Zheng after her mother’s death… However, she could only use them after she turned eighteen.
Old Mr. Luo had already retired and Young Master Luo who was also Luo Zheng’s uncle, was in charge of the household. Ten percent of the Luo Family’s shares was rather significant.
If someone were to make use of her and put the shares to evil use, it would pose as a threat to the Luo Family… Hence, Luo Zheng’s uncle continuously tried to purchase the shares back from her at a high price, but was stopped by Mu Tianwei.
Over time, tension grew between Luo Zheng and her uncle.
As for Mu Tianwei, he was pretending to be benevolent and kind, all for the sake of becoming a major shareholder of the Luo Family’s company, so as to reap benefits!
In the past, Luo Zheng was too silly to have been afraid of Li Shufen despite possessing such a huge trump card… Clearly, the Mu Family was living off the bonus and dividends that were credited to Luo Zheng every year because of her shares.
The Luo Family was extremely affluent and the ten percent of shares that Luo Zheng owned, could bring her hundreds of millions of yuan in annual dividends… Unfortunately, most of the money landed in the hands of Mu Tianwei and Luo Zheng greatly felt the pinch.
It does not matter, I will let him have it temporarily. It will be mine again soon!
At this moment, Mu Cuiyun’s daughter, Su Xuanxuan gibed, “Cousin, Granny is just concerned about you! We heard from Butler Li that you came home at midnight, clad in a bathrobe from the hotel. You were clearly at a hotel room! Look at yourself, you’re only 17 years old and yet, you’re already sleeping with men. What are others going to say about the Mu Family’s upbringing if they were to hear about it?”
“Xuanxuan, don’t spout nonsense! I trust Zheng. She must have other reasons.”
Mu Tianwei frowned and defended his daughter.
Luo Zheng looked down and retorted willfully and sarcastically, “Mu Family? Cousin, if I remember correctly, your surname is ‘Su’ not ‘Mu’! My surname isn’t Mu either, it’s ‘Luo’! I took my mother’s surname! Don’t get the ties confused and spout nonsense. Just because I’m kind enough to let you stay here, doesn’t mean you can really treat it like your own home!”
“Luo Zheng, you… ”
Su Xuanxuan turned red, extremely speechless.
In reality, Luo Zheng had offended everyone with her words and not just Su Xuanxuan. She had also offended Mu Tianwei… After all, the Luo Family mansion may be known as the Mu Family mansion now but it still belonged to Luo Zheng’s mother as stated on the title deed!
“Bastard, shut up! You’re so young and you’re already so vicious. Are you out to chase your aunt away?”
Li Shufen had been thinking of making the assets and shares hers, but to no avail.
It was stated clearly in Luo Zheng’s mother’s will, that all of her assets and shares would belong to Luo Zheng once she came of age!
“Grandma, is it really appropriate for you to be saying that to me? If I’m a bastard, what does that make you and Father? I’m not trying to chase Aunt away. I just want her to understand that she should be careful and mindful of her words when she’s living under someone else’s roof! Must I necessarily have slept with a man just because I went to a hotel? What a lewd and filthy mindset! I may be young but I have shame and dignity. She’s clearly my relative and yet, she’s trying to ruin my reputation. What kind of wicked intentions are she harboring?”
