As the long-lost son of the Lu family in Jiangzhou, Lu Yi originally thought this was heaven's favor upon him, but the truth was far from it.
Seventeen years of destitution did not earn h...
Qin Fengying was too immersed in the role, but she could no longer move Lu Yi at all.
Lin Xiaoya followed Fan Huijun's surprised gaze and carefully tugged at Qin Fengying's skirt.
Qin Fengying stopped sobbing.
"Yi'er, Mom never forces you to do anything, but you can't demean yourself like this just to get our attention!"
Lu Yi flicked his tuxedo and said without looking at her, "Mrs. Lu, is your idea really that valuable?"
Qin Fengying did not expect him to refuse so decisively.
He grabbed Lin Xiaoya's arm and pushed her forward.
“What did Xiaoya do wrong? She is the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and her early experiences are similar to yours. You two have so much to talk about.”
"Even if the feelings have faded now, her health is much better than Gu Keke's. How is she supposed to face herself after you broke your vow?"
"Aren't you afraid of being branded as a sycophant?"
Gu Keke was no longer timid. She straightened her slender waist and looked at Qin Fengying with her bright eyes.
"Madam Lu, our family is not powerful or wealthy. If he hadn't climbed the social ladder, I would have insisted on marrying him no matter what!"
"If he doesn't agree, I'll jump off a building, into a river, or out of a car. Only if I die like that will Lu Yi be labeled a scumbag."
"Mrs. Lu, isn't your family the one that loves adopted sons the most? Why are you still clinging to Lu Yi? Could it be that you're short of money and want to snatch Lu Yi back to keep the Lu Group alive?"
The Gu family is notorious for spoiling Gu Keke.
But everyone has heard that she's been locked up at home and forbidden from contacting anyone.
The last time I saw her so eloquent was a year ago.
At that time, the Gu family suddenly held a banquet to publicly advertise the collaborative project between the second young master of the Gu family and Lu Yi.
Gu Keke came out to testify, her words were precise and logical, and she immediately sent Lu Han, the adopted son of the Lu family, into prison.
"You! Does your Gu family have any manners?!"
Qin Fengying argued back until her face turned red.
He almost lost his composure again.
Gu Keke pouted her full lips. "I'm mentally ill, are you?"
Fan Huijun pursed her lips and chuckled, almost bursting out laughing.
Liang Shiyue bit her lip and looked at Lu Yi with heartache.
She dared not look at him too openly, but she couldn't convince herself not to look at him.
The mother, on the other hand, remained very calm.
Seeing Qin Fengying rehashing old news, he sighed, "We're all parents, why is Madam Lu so harsh on the young people!"
"Yi'er has always been decisive and won't make foolish decisions. They say that once a son grows up, he's no longer under his mother's control. Madam Lu, you should put your mind at ease and wish them well!"
Liang Shiyue was surprised that her mother would stand up for Lu Yi in this situation. Out of gratitude, she held her mother's hand.
Qin Fengying glanced at Liang's mother a few times and snorted coldly.
"Who do you think you are, and what right do you have to be at my son's engagement party?"
"Hey, isn't this that shameless Liang? I can't believe you're so brazen, daring to show your face like this..."
Liang Shiyue's cheeks flushed as she stared at her in shock.
Not long ago, in order to make Lu Yi take his marriage to Gu Keke seriously, she took the initiative to find Liang Shiyue to act as a mediator.
They change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book!
"Enough! If you want to throw a tantrum, go outside!"
Lu Yi shouted sharply!
This interrupted Qin Fengying's accusations against Liang Shiyue.
Caught off guard, Qin Fengying froze for a moment before stepping forward and grabbing Lu Yi.
"She's just a piece of trash, why should Yi'er protect her? Come with me, come back to the Lu family with me!"
"Your parents will personally host your engagement banquet and Xiaoya's. It'll be a hundred times more grand than this, okay?"
"You are a child of the Lu family. How can you be so careless about such an important life event..."
The guests present twitched their lips and whispered among themselves, their upturned lips concealing a strange excitement.
"Madam Lu, I welcome you here representing the Lu family, but if you insist on doing this, then don't blame me for asking you to leave!"
With the help of the housekeeper, Fan Shenglun walked to the front of the group.
His deep-set eyes revealed a hint of resentment and disgust. Lin Xiaoya lowered her eyebrows in a flustered manner, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Fan Shenglun, you... and all of you, you've gone too far!"
Qin Fengying took a deep breath and forced out those words through her teeth, two lines of tears streaming down her face.
She deliberately made Lu Yi dislike her, but even so, Lu Yi didn't want to talk to her much.
Turning around, Lu Yi was calling for someone to bring over a stool and carefully helping Fan Shenglun to sit down.
Poor her, she got up early this morning to get her hair done for today. The parking lot is a bit far from here, and she slipped and slid as she walked, her new shoes rubbing her little toe until it was numb.
What should have been hers to enjoy has now been given to Fan Shenglun...
We could only watch helplessly, there was nothing we could do.
"Auntie, shall we stop?"
With her hands suddenly empty, Lin Xiaoya saw Qin Fengying walking out as if she had lost her soul, and quickly chased after her.
"continue?"
Qin Fengying reacted as if she'd heard a joke. "How can we continue? Are we just going to watch them continue to fool my son until they no longer acknowledge me?"
Lin Xiaoya frowned slightly.
"Auntie, have you forgotten why we came here today? If you just hold on a little longer and let me stand by Lu Yi's side, I will help you send him to the Lu family sooner or later!"
Without Qin Fengying's help, she wouldn't dare to stand in front of those people and spout nonsense.
She'd had enough of Liang Shiyue's murderous glare!
"Lin Xiaoya, Gu Keke may not be very bright, but you're no better off getting involved with that kind of stuff!"
"Don't think that just because you're spouting sweet talk, I'll let you do whatever you want. Tell Lin Yuan that my Lu family will absolutely not form any marriage alliance with the Lin family!"
