Seeing her daughter, Second Mrs. Luo was also extremely moved, immediately caressing her daughter’s face with her hand, "Ziyi, look at you, you’ve lost so much weight. You must have suffered a lot during this period, oh..."
Luo Zhongwei snorted coldly, "Your daughter has returned, why are you crying?"
Only then did Second Mrs. Luo wipe away her tears and nod repeatedly, "Yes, our daughter has come back, no need to cry, no need to cry."
Luo Ziyi began to speak, "Dad, Mom, actually, I have something I want to discuss with you..."
"Let me speak first," said Luo Zhongwei, "Since you are already back, Grandpa hopes you will return to the Luo Family. You don’t have to do anything; we will provide for you, and we won’t force you into marriage anymore."
"Yes, come back," Second Mrs. Luo also chimed in, "Anyway, your dad doesn’t plan on inheriting the Luo Family’s business. Isn’t it good for our whole family to be like idle fish together?"
"If it could really be like that, of course I could," Luo Ziyi said to her parents with a slight smile, "But Dad, Mom, do you think Grandpa really won’t force me to do anything? Or to put it another way, can Grandpa truly trust me not to reveal the Luo Family’s secrets to Yang Yu?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Luo Zhongwei said angrily, "You can mistrust your grandpa, but do you even mistrust your dad too?"
"It’s exactly because I do not trust Grandpa that I can’t trust you," Luo Ziyi smiled faintly at her father, "I know you too well; you never dare to defy Grandpa. Whatever he asks you to do, you do it. He could even ask you to die, and you’d do so begrudgingly."
"If it wasn’t for my call to Yang Yu, Dad, do you think you would still be alive to have coffee with me here?"
"You!" Luo Zhongwei’s eyes bulged with anger, but he found himself speechless.
Luo Ziyi continued, "Dad, I’m not trying to claim credit, I’m just stating a fact. In the Luo Family, no one dares to defy Grandpa; Grandpa would also sacrifice anyone for the family’s interest, including Uncle."
"If one day he needs to sacrifice me for some purpose, I believe all his promises to me can be voided. His favorite line is ’for the family’s interest.’"
The couple was rendered speechless by Luo Ziyi’s words, and both fell silent.
"Listen to my opinion," said Luo Ziyi, as her parents had nothing more to say, "Yang Yu has agreed to let you live with us in East Sea Garden; he is responsible for our safety."
"I’ve invested twenty billion with him, and every month there are tens of millions in dividends, ensuring our family can live without any financial worries for a lifetime."
Luo Ziyi put forth her perspective, and now it was time for Luo Zhongwei and his wife to pick a side.
Either stay with the Luo Family or side with Yang Yu, they had to choose one.
"This..." The couple was troubled, unable to believe that they came to persuade their daughter only to have her persuade them instead.
Logically speaking, siding with Yang Yu would give them more freedom.
But if Luo Zhongwei could not even trust his own father, how could he trust Yang Yu, an outsider?
Plus, in the Luo Family, he still had the title of "Second Master Luo."
If he sided with Yang Yu, he would only be ridiculed.
Although Luo Zhongwei didn’t have many great abilities, he had too much pride.
He could not bear to be laughed at by others.
"Forget it, I can’t convince you, and I won’t side with Yang Yu," Luo Zhongwei huffed, "I will return to my Luo Family, you go to your East Sea Garden. From now on, I shall act as if I don’t have a daughter like you!"
"Zhongwei, you this this this... sigh!" Second Mrs. Luo, unable to do anything, could only turn to Luo Ziyi and say, "Ziyi, from now on, you’ll have to take care of yourself without your parents by your side. Come, let’s toast with coffee instead of alcohol, wishing you happiness."
"Hmm." Luo Ziyi’s eyes were somewhat moist as she lifted her coffee cup and clinked it with her mother’s, preparing to drink the coffee.
Just then, she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.
"Hmm?" She put down her coffee cup and picked up the amulet from around her neck.
Indeed, the fragrance was emanating from the amulet.
"This is an amulet I made myself, to keep you safe." Remembering what Yang Yu had told her before he left, Luo Ziyi immediately became alert.
At other times, the amulet had shown no signs of activity, so why did it emit a fragrance the moment she picked up the coffee cup?
After she put it down, the fragrance slowly dissipated, didn’t it?
To prove her suspicions, Luo Ziyi picked up the coffee cup again.
As expected, the fragrance immediately became much stronger.
Seeing her daughter not drinking the coffee, Second Mrs. Luo became somewhat nervous, "Ziyi, what’s wrong with you?"
"Mom, I’d like to taste your cup of coffee." Luo Ziyi reached out and grabbed it before her mother could react, snatching the cup from Second Mrs. Luo’s hand.
Luo Ziyi sniffed it, and the amulet had no reaction.
"What do you mean by this?" Luo Zhongwei’s face turned ashen, "Are you suspecting your mom of poisoning you? Did Yang Yu speak ill of us and make you distrust even your own parents?"
"Yang Yu didn’t say anything bad, and he even urged me to come see you. I didn’t want to be suspicious, but the fact is, it’s true."
Luo Ziyi’s eyes immediately reddened, tears welling up, "Mom, you’re the only person I trust in the Luo Family, why would you do this?"
"Do you distrust your mom? Then I’ll drink your cup of coffee right now!" With that, Second Mrs. Luo picked up Luo Ziyi’s coffee and was about to pour it into her mouth.
But as she brought the cup to her lips, she suddenly stopped, and the expression on her face couldn’t have been more dramatic.
"Mom, isn’t it supposed to be fine? Why aren’t you drinking it?" Luo Ziyi watched her mother’s poor performance with a smile, tears streaming down even more as she laughed.
"Ziyi, listen to your mom," Second Mrs. Luo said hastily, "Your grandfather said you don’t have to be tricked into drinking this coffee if you agree to go back. If you don’t go back, Mom has no choice."
"There is indeed something added to this coffee, but it’s just to make someone lose their memory, there won’t be any other problem, it’s a last resort!"
"Are you sure it’s just memory loss?" Yang Yu came over, holding a stray dog by the leash, "Let’s test it and see if it really only causes memory loss."
Yang Yu picked up the coffee and poured it directly into the stray dog’s mouth.
The stray dog licked its tongue a few times, one second, two seconds, three seconds...
"Woof woof—" The stray dog suddenly let out a mournful cry, collapsed on the ground, limbs outstretched, foaming at the mouth, and in just moments lay dead!
Second Mrs. Luo was immediately dumbfounded: "How could this happen? How could this be! Ziyi, Mom never thought of killing you!"
