Jiang Shiqian used to be the perfect daughter-in-law of the Lu family in her heart. The two grew up together and had a deep emotional foundation. If things hadn't fallen apart, she wouldn't have said anything if they got together.
But ever since Jiang Shiqian's family went bankrupt, Lu Yunzhou's mother's attitude changed 180 degrees. She then forcefully broke up the two, and a rift began to grow between them.
Later, Lu Yunzhou brought back Su Yuxi, who had nothing. He thought it was just a game, but who would play it bigger? In order to get engaged to Su Yuxi, he gave up competing for the position of head of the Lu family, which made Lu's mother furious and made her even more disgusted with Su Yuxi, and she often caused trouble for no reason.
Now that Jiang Shiqian is back, she's calling people back again. Is she trying to elevate Jiang Shiqian to a higher position?
If that's the case, Xixi, this trip there might not be peaceful.
Su Yuxi insisted on going over, and Wan Qianqian couldn't say anything. After dinner, she personally escorted Su Yuxi to the Lu family villa, gave her some careful instructions, and then left. If it weren't for her inappropriate status, she would have really wanted to go in with her.
As soon as Su Yuxi entered the door, she saw the servants setting the dishes on the table, and the aroma of the delicacies filled the air.
Mrs. Lu was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. When she learned that Lu had arrived, she didn't even look up. She slammed the magazine down on the coffee table and said in a sharp, cold voice full of sarcasm, "You certainly know how to pick your time to come."
Su Yuxi was startled by her sudden outburst; she started throwing a tantrum as soon as she walked in—today was undoubtedly a trap.
Remembering the text message she had sent before arriving, she cleared her throat, a smile playing on her lips, and slowly walked to the sofa to sit down. As if she couldn't understand the sarcasm, she spoke to her normally: "It's just a coincidence. I had already eaten before I came."
It means I wasn't eyeing those two dishes at your house.
Lu's mother didn't expect her to talk back, and gave her a cold look: "Useless."
Su Yuxi remained good-natured and did not refute. Instead, she took out her phone and sent a message saying that as long as Lu Yunzhou's mother scolded her, no matter what she scolded, she would receive 100,000 yuan in compensation for each scolding.
So go ahead and curse her, the more you curse, the more money she gets.
Seeing that she could still smile even after being scolded, Lu's mother found it quite boring, so she stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point: "What has Yunzhou been doing lately?"
The maid brought her a cup of flower tea, which she took and sipped. She had guessed when she came that Lu's mother had called her over to ask about her son.
Her relationship with her son is very strained now, and she usually gets a lot of information from her through her maid when she comes here. The fact that she's been called here directly suggests that there might be something else important going on.
If she wanted to talk about her son's extramarital affairs, she could only say that she couldn't help him.
Moreover, this incident happened almost half a year ago, and as a mother, she knows it better than anyone else.
At first, she was very happy because her son had finally reverted to his true nature and focused his attention on other women. This meant that Lu Yunzhou didn't love Su Yuxi that much, and his engagement to her was just a way to rebel against her.
Her son can play whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't invest his emotions in one woman.
But now Jiang Shiqian is back.
When they got engaged, her son immediately gave up his candidacy for heir. If the woman had a powerful background, she wouldn't have said anything, but Su Yuxi had nothing and her status was even lower than Jiang Shiqian's.
But when Jiang Shiqian actually came back, she changed her mind.
It's undeniable that Jiang Shiqian is a good match; she has a high level of education and friends in their circle. Compared to Su Yuxi, anyone with eyes would choose Jiang Shiqian.
But now she's sick, and stomach cancer is no small matter. Whether she lives or dies is another matter, but the key issue is that if the two of them really get back together, there's a high probability that their children will inherit the cancer.
The Lu family has very strict requirements regarding carrying on the family line, and good health is an important condition. Now, Jiang Shiqian is not as good as Su Yuxi, who is an orphan. At least Su Yuxi is beautiful, healthy, and can provide excellent genes. She is also very good at taking care of her son. The key is that she never causes trouble when her son looks for someone else.
Su Yuxi is perfect in every way except for her less-than-ideal background.
She had always been watching from the sidelines until last night when Lu Yunzhou brought Jiang Shiqian to the Fu family banquet. This was his way of signaling to her that he wanted to bring Jiang Shiqian back to the Lu family.
Not only is she not helpful, but she doesn't even have healthy genes. She will never let such a woman enter the Lu family.
"He's alright, just like that. He eats and drinks as usual." Anyway, she took good care of him. Lu Yunzhou's health improved day by day under her care, which was obvious to everyone and no one could doubt it.
Lu's mother's face suddenly turned very bad: "What do you mean 'okay'? What kind of fiancée are you? You can't even control a man. What use are you?"
Su Yuxi was drinking tea when she heard her words and was taken aback: "Auntie, Yunzhou is sensible. Didn't you tell me that men have to socialize outside and there are always some casual situations, and that I shouldn't take it too seriously?"
“I’ve been listening to you all this time, so why are you complaining about me now?”
Yes, these were all things she had warned her about. When Lu Yunzhou was first caught cheating and having an affair by the media, she warned her that no matter how many women a man had outside, he should not disgrace his husband. As long as it did not affect her position as the legitimate wife, she should turn a blind eye to everything.
She forgot how she felt when she heard that. She had always been indifferent to emotions. Lu Yunzhou was willing to spend money, and the more frequently he spent money, the thicker her wallet became.
Moreover, this time her first love has returned, and she plans to use this first love to make even more money.
She pondered carefully what Lu's mother wanted her to do here. It was impossible for her to cause trouble. Given how much Lu Yunzhou cared about Jiang Shiqian, no one could persuade him to give up.
Su Yuxi knew that this was a difficult matter to persuade, and that any attempt to persuade would only lead to an argument. She, as the mother, didn't care, so why should an outsider like her interfere?
"You..." Lu's mother recognized these words as the ones he had used to reprimand her. Her face flushed red with anger, and she trembled, unable to speak.
Seeing her look embarrassed, Su Yuxi felt inexplicably happy, but she still pretended to be understanding: "Auntie, if you ask me, there are some things we shouldn't interfere with. Yunzhou is such a grown man, he always knows how to behave."
"Isn't what you're worried about Jiang Shiqian?"
“She is sick now and needs someone to take care of her. If you pressure him now, it will only make your relationship worse.”
“Yunzhou told me that he just felt sorry for Jiang Shiqian and that he would take her back once she was cured.”
So who else in this world is as understanding and reasonable as her, who, as her boyfriend's fiancée, also has to comfort her boyfriend in front of his mother?
Sigh, she's such a good person.
"Idiot, you don't believe everything people say."
"Do you even have a brain?"
