Chapter 451 The Girlfriend of the Head of the Lu Family
"this……"
Madam Hua may be soft-hearted, but given the current situation, how could she not understand Madam Sang's meaning? This was forcing her to choose between Wen Ni and Sang Rou!
After much deliberation, Madam Hua hesitated and did not immediately reply, but instead turned her gaze to her husband, Hua Baichuan.
The Sang family members, including Sang Rou, also looked up, their eyes filled with anticipation.
“Madam, if you wish for Sang Rou to come and keep you company often, that’s not impossible.” Sensing his wife’s pleading gaze, Hua Baichuan finally spoke.
Hearing that Hua Baichuan seemed to be softening his stance, the Sang family members' faces immediately lit up with a hint of joy! But before they could even rejoice, they heard Hua Baichuan say something else…
"However, Sang Rou is now a child of the Sang family, and it would be inconvenient and controversial for her to live in the Hua family every day. On the other hand, when she is on holiday and has nothing to do, Sang Rou can come to see Madam at any time to chat and relieve boredom."
"Hmm, brother-in-law, what you said isn't entirely correct. Think about it, Sang Rou isn't actually our Sang family's biological daughter. You can't just decide whose child she is! My sister likes Sang Rou so much, brother-in-law, why don't we just keep her here..." Madam Sang was halfway through her sentence when she sensed the change in everyone's gaze and quickly added, "I didn't mean anything by it, it's just that I know Sang Rou likes being with my sister, and my sister likes the child too. Since that's the case, why not..."
"My Hua family has only one young master, Hua Zhuo. And only one young lady, Wen Ni." Hua Baichuan interrupted Madam Sang coldly, "Second sister, don't say those things again! My niece has just been found, and I don't want her to have any estrangement from us because of this, or to be unhappy because of it!"
"Brother-in-law..."
"My Hua family has done a lot of business in the legitimate world. People will forget when the Hua family was a force to be reckoned with in the underworld. The Hua family can't stand others interfering in matters between the two worlds. The Hua family's affairs are none of the business of outsiders!"
"…………"
Madam Sang and the others' expressions changed.
With heads bowed and eyes lowered, no one dared to utter another word!
Hua Baichuan's blatant favoritism and bias towards Wen Ni left no room for objection or rebuttal!
“See? I told you Father has a scale in his heart.” Hua Zhuo winked at Wen Cheng with a hint of pride, then stepped forward briskly and stood directly in front of Wen Ni.
"Cousin~"
"Cousin, what are you doing here? Why don't you go and comfort your other sister?" Wen Ni crossed her arms and leaned back, glancing at him.
"She covets what doesn't belong to her and doesn't know how to cherish the wings she has earned. The Hua family has never taught her these things." Hua Zhuo's face turned cold, and he glanced back. "It's a pity that her former innocence has now been corrupted by desire and caused her to lose herself!"
Behind her, Sang Rou shuddered and cried even harder.
Turning back, Hua Zhuo smiled faintly again and said to Wen Ni, "Cousin, are you still angry with me? When I asked you why you came back today, I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that the New Year's gift I prepared for you, as well as the meals I specially arranged for you, were all scheduled until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Since you came today, I couldn't arrange things as thoughtfully as I could to your liking."
"I know, I'm not angry."
Wen Ni didn't tease him. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Originally, I didn't plan to come back today. But someone said that they would accompany me to my parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year."
"Someone's here?" Hua Zhuo raised an eyebrow inwardly, then glanced at Qin Yuan, who was standing guard to the side. He suddenly realized, "I knew this guy was clearly from the Lu family, so why is he here? Oh, I see. Where is he? Why didn't he come in with you?"
"They said they went to make a phone call."
"That phone call took him quite a while!" Hua Zhuo rubbed his chin and said, "Could it be that there's some surprise in store?"
Their conversation was overheard by others.
"The Lu family?" The Sang family members exchanged bewildered glances, completely unaware of who they were referring to. "Are there other people here today?"
Just as I was wondering, I saw two rows of bodyguards walk in from the main entrance of the hall. Each of them carried an exquisite box, some large and some small, with unique designs.
The man who followed walked in with long, confident strides and an extraordinary air about him, his striking appearance and charisma immediately drawing attention.
It was Lu Jinye himself who disappeared after making a phone call.
He walked over, nodded to Hua Baichuan and Hua Zhuo, and then stepped to stand next to Wen Ni.
"What are all these things?" Wen Ni asked him.
“If we don’t count the last time I came to rescue Zhuo Shao, this is my first official visit.” Lu Jinye naturally took Wen Ni’s wrist, then looked up at Hua Baichuan. “These are, of course, New Year’s gifts that I, as Wen Ni’s boyfriend, have carefully selected to give to our elders!”
"Wen Ni's boyfriend?"
Hua Baichuan's expression shifted slightly.
Not to mention the Sang family, who were completely stunned!
"When did my sister and Brother Lu..." Xiao Cheng's eyes widened in surprise. Suddenly, she remembered her chat history with her sister the night before and instantly understood. She covered her mouth, shocked and a little heartbroken...
My eyes suddenly and inexplicably turned red.
His sister finally accepted Lu Ge's love, but the thought that she belonged to another man and was no longer his sister alone still made him feel a pang of sadness...
Unlike their shock and astonishment, Hua Zhuo was quite calm. He already knew about Wen Ni and Lu Jinye's affair. He stepped forward and scrutinized the exquisite, expensive, and rare gifts, and couldn't help but sigh.
"As expected of the new head of the Lu family, you're so generous! Such a grand New Year's gift? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were here to propose or get engaged!"
"Propose? How do you know I don't want to? But I still need Wen Ni's consent, don't I?" Lu Jinye didn't hide anything and expressed his thoughts very directly.
Wen Ni suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Jinye's profile.
Proposal! ?
They had just gotten together, and Grandpa Lu had just passed away not long ago... Before this, she had never even thought about getting married!
He happened to look down and meet her gaze.
She saw the seriousness written in his eyes!
At this moment, she truly understood what he meant by "year after year" that day!
That wasn't a joke; it was what he truly thought.
"Lu Jinye, the head of the Lu family..."
Despite the pain in his arm, Boss Sang straightened up and muttered to himself a few times before suddenly freezing in disbelief. "It's... that rumored Lu family from the Beijing district!? This second young lady, who was just recognized, actually has connections with the head of the Lu family!?"
"What do you mean? What about the Lu family of Beijing?" Madam Sang wasn't very knowledgeable about business matters. "Are they more powerful than the Hua family?"
Sang Rou was also deep in thought, not understanding the ins and outs of the matter.
"You don't even know the Lu family of Beijing? How ignorant!" Boss Sang felt dizzy and lightheaded. "Let me put it this way, if the Hua family controls the underworld, then the Lu family is the god of the legitimate world! Military, government, and business, who doesn't tremble before them?"
"Wow, that's amazing?" they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
