I Flash-Married a Billionaire

Mu Qing, hounded by marriage pressure to the point of not daring to return home, rented her elder brother's classmate, Ye Junbo, to pretend to be her husband, all for the sake of a peaceful lif...

Chapter 554 Who is plotting against whom?

"Grandma, City A is over a thousand miles away from Wangcheng. It's too far. Sister Xu Chu loves Susu so much, she wouldn't want her to marry far away."

Mu Qing took this into consideration when she brought her brother and Susu together.

Besides, the Lan family is so complicated and chaotic now. Even if Susu is a person who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, Xu Chu will not feel at ease to let his sister marry into the Lan family.

To put it bluntly, a daughter who married far away met a bad in-law family and was killed, and her family didn't even know what happened.

Only the Xu Chu sisters were left in the Xu family, and Xu Chu would never agree to let her sister marry far away.

Mu Qing understood her future sister-in-law's concerns. She hadn't made any overt attempts to match her brother with Susu until her father and brother had cleaned up the Lan family. Fortunately, her brother was still young, only twenty-four, so waiting a few more years wouldn't matter.

"Also, my brother doesn't like Susu. He really doesn't like her. To be honest, grandma, Susu and I are good friends. I think she is as gentle as water. Even when she is angry, she speaks in a soft and gentle voice. I have also thought about bringing my brother and Susu together."

"A stunning beauty like Susu, who wouldn't be amazed upon seeing her? Even I, a woman, can't take my eyes off her. But my brother doesn't feel that way. Instead, he dislikes Susu for being too gentle and weak. He totally despises her."

"Grandma wants to match my brother with Susu. My brother will definitely be angry if he finds out. There are still two days before our family banquet. Didn't Grandma ask me to help my brother with some matchmaking at the banquet? Compared to Susu, I think the daughters of Wangcheng are more suitable for my brother."

No way.

Her brother was too wary of the daughters of Wangcheng, always worrying that they approached him because of the status and power of the Lan family.

However, there is no guarantee that those people are not coming for the Lan family's status.

There are many benefits to marrying into the Lan family.

Many marriages among wealthy families are arranged for a purpose.

After hearing Qingqing's words, the old lady sighed and said, "Grandma asked you to help your brother find a partner. Grandma knows very well that your brother won't like them. If he did, he would have liked them a long time ago. It's not like he hasn't seen those daughters of rich families before."

Lan Zheng is the young master of the Lan family. Although his relationship with his father has always been bad, making people outside think that he, the young master, will be replaced sooner or later, there are still people who are keeping an eye on him and want to get close to the Lan family by marrying their daughter to him.

Unfortunately, Lan Zheng always has bodyguards with him and does not allow any women other than his relatives to approach him within three meters.

When doing business with someone, if the other party is an unmarried woman, or brings her daughter to discuss business, Lan Zheng will not show up and will arrange for Lan Bin to work like a slave.

Now Lan Bin has been kicked out of the Lan Group’s headquarters and transferred to a branch company. It is estimated that Lan Bin will never be able to return to the headquarters in his lifetime.

But Lan Yi from the second branch is still at the headquarters, and now Lan Zheng is enslaving Lan Yi like a beast of burden.

The second wife was angry but dared not speak out, fearing that she would end up like Lan Bin.

Even though Lan Bin is the boss in the branch, compared with the headquarters, the boss of the branch is not as good as a manager at the headquarters.

Being away from the headquarters means being away from the core of the Lan Group and being marginalized, which is something the second branch does not want to see.

"But my brother doesn't like Susu either. Susu and I are good friends. If my brother liked Susu, he would have done the same thing as Yang Xi a long time ago."

Mu Qing also sighed: "My brother not only doesn't like Su Su, he also hates Su Su. Grandma, if we let my brother marry Su Su, he will definitely make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace like Sun Wukong did, and make our family restless."

The old lady was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's wait and see. However, Qingqing, grandma has sent an invitation. When we hold a banquet, we have invited Miss Xu to attend. This will create more opportunities for your brother. Maybe if they spend more time together, he will really like Susu."

"Grandma really likes Susu. I think your mother treats Susu very well too. If your brother marries her, we won't have to worry about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem anymore."

A woman who marries Lan Zheng has to consider that she has two mothers-in-law. Shen Yimo is a gentle person. Even if she doesn't like her daughter-in-law, she won't make things difficult for her. But if the old lady, as a grandmother, wants to make things difficult for her grandson's daughter-in-law, it will be easier than eating.

Didn’t you see how hard it was for Shen Yimo, the daughter-in-law, because of her?

I've been driven crazy for more than twenty years.

The second and third wives could coax the old lady, but if they made a mistake, the old lady would punish them as a mother-in-law without mercy. When the daughters-in-law were wronged, the old lady, as a mother-in-law, did not stand on their side.

This is an old lady who only cares about protecting her own children and grandchildren. She is very difficult to get along with.

"Let me try."

Mu Qing was very happy that the old lady personally invited Xu Susu to the banquet.

She also invited Yang Xi, her eldest brother and the sons of the Jun family to come, but they all declined. Firstly, the distance was too far, and secondly, the trip back and forth was too rushed. Moreover, this was a banquet held by the Lan family to commemorate Mu Qing's return, and for the relatives in City A, it was somewhat sad.

Maybe not seeing each other wouldn’t be that sad.

The old lady asked Mu Qing to accompany her for a walk, mainly to talk to Mu Qing about the matchmaking between Lan Zheng and Su Su. After the two of them finished chatting, the old lady said, "Qingqing, grandma is old and a little tired after walking around. Let's go back to the house."

"good."

Mu Qing supported the old lady and walked back.

A gust of wind blew, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold.

Both the grandmother and the granddaughter couldn't help but tremble.

The old lady said, "The weather is getting colder and colder. The first snow of this year will probably come very early."

"Grandma, are you cold? I'll take off my coat and put it on you."

Mu Qing pretended to take off her coat.

The old lady hurriedly stopped her, "Grandma isn't cold, it was just a strong wind that made me shiver for a moment. Don't take off your coat. You grew up in City A and aren't used to Wangcheng's weather. You'll catch a cold if you take off your coat."

"City A probably still needs to turn on the air conditioning now."

Mu Qing stopped talking about taking off her coat after the old lady stopped her. She just held the old lady's arm tightly and moved closer to her so that she could keep warm. After hearing what the old lady said, she smiled and said, "Yes, the difference between north and south is really huge. The highest temperature in Wangcheng during the day is only around 10 degrees Celsius, and it can drop to 5 or 6 degrees Celsius at night. In City A, the highest temperature during the day is over 30 degrees Celsius, and it can even reach 29 or 30 degrees Celsius at night. It's so hot that it's killing people."

"It's very comfortable to spend the winter in City A."

"Grandma, do you want to go to City A for the winter?"

Mu Qing wished the old lady wanted to go, so that she could fly back to City A with her parents and brothers, where she could be free and not have to act here every day and be exhausted.

"Grandma is old and doesn't want to travel. When the temperature drops below zero, at worst, we can just stay out less."

Mu Qing smiled and didn't continue talking about this topic.
