At Lu Mansion.
Lange and Mulan, together with Margot, sat opposite to John and Lydia, behaving cautiously.
"It's tea brought back from China. Taste it, Lange." John picked up a cup of tea from the tea set and handed it to Lange.
Lange took the cup, but he didn't drink it.
Lange looked at Mulan next to him. He hesitated for a while and said, "John, we come here today because we have something to beg you."
Lydia wanted to drink tea, but John handed her the juice in front of him, "You haven't had a good sleep recently. Drink this." After that, he looked at Lange and said, "Well, tell me first."
"I..." Lange was a little embarrassed to say that.
On one side, Mulan said anxiously, "Margot was impulsive. She accidentally did something wrong and pisses off James. He seemed to be very angry. Yesterday, he came to our house and said that he wanted us to send Margot aboard..."
Last night, after James left, they asked Margot and looked carefully at the things in the U-disk. Although they knew that Margot had done something wrong, they still chose to protect their daughter even in this case.
Moreover, how could they bear to let Margot go so far away? Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, they finally decided to come to Lu Mansion. They wanted to ask John and Lydia for mercy and hoped that they could persuade James.
John frowned and didn't say a word for a while.
Lydia was so surprised that she couldn't help but say, "Well, it seems that my Jimmy is quite angry. How did Margot offend him?"
Mulan's expression changed, but she had no choice but to tell Lydia the whole story.
Almost as soon as Mulan finished her words, Lydia asked with concern, "How is Elizabeth now? Did she leave the police station?"
"Yes."
Lydia patted her chest, "That's good! God bless."
"Lydia, we come here this time to ask you and John to persuade James. Margot is young. We're worried she won't be able to take care of herself if we let her go that far by herself. Besides, we only have one daughter. We really can't bear to send her abroad!"
Now, it was impossible to marry Margot to the Lu family. But except for James, there were always others they could choose. But if they really sent Margot abroad, when would she come back?
As soon as Mulan finished speaking, she couldn't help but pull Margot, who was burying her head.
Margot looked at Mulan Lin's eyes and pursed her lips. Then she looked at John and Lydia, "Yes. Uncle, auntie, I know I was wrong. Could you please help me to persuade James. I don't want to go that far, and I don't want to leave my parents!" As she said this, she squeezed out a few tears, looking very pitiful.
Seeing that they had spoke everything out, Lange also said, "John, we have no choice but to bother you. Margot was spoiled by us, and this time she really went too far. But as long as you let James withdraw this proposal, I can assure you today that we will teach Margot a good lesson in the future and not let her mess around again."
John had been silent since he heard the whole thing. At this time, when he heard the words of the three people of the Wang family, his expression was faint, and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry.
After a long while, he turned to look at Lydia, "Lydia, what do you think?"
"Me?" Lydia looked at John, and then looked at the three from the Wang family.
When Mulan saw John leaving this to Lydia to make the decision, she felt much more relieved. She had a good relationship with Lydia over the years. They usually went to beauty and card games together. Moreover, Lydia was also a mother. Women are always softer. Mulan was sure Lydia would help their family.
"I think, Jimmy is not a small boy, and now he is very well in charge of the company. He naturally has his own reasons for doing so." Lydia said, looking apologetically at Mulan, "So, I respect my son's decision."
Hearing this, Mulan's eyes widened in horror and disbelief. She cried out anxiously, "Lydia!" She had been confident in winning, but she had never thought that Lydia would say so.
Hearing this, Margot was naturally in a panic as well, "Auntie Lydia, I really know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again! Please don't do this!"
Seeing this, Lange was also in a panic. He looked at John and said in a hurry, "John, I know that you are in charge of this family. Say something please!"
Hearing his words, John said lightly, "Lange, you're wrong. Lydia is always in charge of our family. It's not up to me."
"..." Hearing this, Lange's face changed again and again.
Didn't John mean that this matter would be done according to Lydia's words?
"John!" Mulan clenched her fists, "Please show some mercy! We've been friends for so many years. If you do this, how can we be friends in the future? Over the years, we haven't asked you anything. It's just one thing! Our family has this one daughter. She is our treasure. How can you bear to do this?"
Lydia put the juice glass in John's hand and sighed gently, "Mulan, you said that Margot is your treasure. But Elizabeth is James's wife and can also be considered my daughter. Of course, she is our treasure as well. Who wouldn't care about their family's treasure?"
Mulan got a direct rebuttal from Lydia so she looked a little unhappy, "I know this, but..."
