Chapter 144 Someone Else Wants to Get Married
Song Jihe didn't know that the Jiang family had fallen, nor did he know that Lu Mingqi had been arrested.
So he asked Lu Yan, "By the way, what's going on between you and your dad? I called him these past two days and he didn't answer. Did something happen at home?"
Lu Yan knew that Song Jihe would find out about this matter sooner or later, so this time when he came to his grandmother's house, in addition to finding out Li Qingqing's life experience, he also wanted to tell her in person.
"...Mom, even if Dad goes to jail, I won't marry Jiang Xueyao. I want to marry someone else."
“…”
These sentences contained so much information that Song Jihe didn't know where to start understanding them. She felt like her brain was short-circuiting.
"What……?"
Afraid that his old mother would be too sad, Lu Yan had to avoid the important points and tell her the whole story.
Song Jihe was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then he sighed repeatedly, "I have long advised him to stay away from the Jiang family, hey..."
This sounds like hindsight, but she has indeed heard more or less that Lu Mingqi and the Jiang family have been doing some not very legal business behind the scenes over the years.
However, she only had a glimpse of the situation and did not understand the full picture. Most of it was gossip she heard at gatherings of some wealthy wives.
She had some doubts in her heart, but she also felt that those were just normal things in the business world.
Song Jihe's performance was much stronger than Lu Yan had imagined. She didn't even shed a tear. Maybe it was because she had always been an outsider.
For her, this result was just a little less wealth and the loss of a husband who had long lost his passion. This was not a big deal for a young lady like her who had been pampered since childhood.
At worst, her parents can support her for the rest of her life.
Besides, she still has her baby son, which is the most important thing to her.
However, Song Jihe didn't believe that Lu Yan had no selfish motives in going to such great lengths to bring down the Jiang family.
She looked at him, as if questioning, "Are you so anxious to report the Jiang family because of that girl Qingqing?"
Lu Yan did not deny it, "You should know how important she is to me."
Song Jihe looked angry, "Why don't you find someone else..."
In fact, what Song Jihe really cared about at this time was Li Qingqing's identity as an illegitimate daughter. Even if a girl of this identity was recognized by the Wei family, how could she be worthy of his son?
But Lu Yan just thought that she cared about their current relationship.
He had a lot of reasons to tell her at this moment, but when he thought of his old mother who had just learned the news of losing her husband, Lu Yan suddenly couldn't bear it.
He didn't want to go against her wishes and hurt her feelings at this time, so he changed his mind and used the gentler method of family kidnapping.
"Mom, Dad doesn't want us anymore, don't you want me too?"
Lu Yan started to play the victim, his expression melancholy and sad.
It was clearly he who sent his father to jail personally, but now he says that Lu Mingqi doesn't want them anymore.
But this trick was indeed effective. Song Jihe felt distressed immediately when he saw his son's pitiful appearance.
"What are you talking about, kid? How could Mommy not want you?"
Song Jihe was almost in tears as she spoke, as if Lu Yan had really become a child without a father or a mother.
Lu Yan pressed on, "I don't care. Qingqing and I are one now. If you want me, you have to have her."
Song Jihe: “…”
"Do you have to go against your mother, kid?" Song Jihe had never thought that her son was so unreasonable.
While the two were in a stalemate, grandma had already arranged for the servants to come and personally made a bowl of steamed yogurt with sugar and brought it to Lu Yan.
"Ayan, come and try it. This is your favorite dish when you were a child. Grandma hasn't made it for a long time. I wonder if it still tastes the same as before."
Grandma's appearance broke the somewhat unpleasant atmosphere in the living room.
Sugar-steamed yogurt was Lu Yan’s favorite food when he was a child. Every time he came to his grandmother’s house, his grandmother would make it for him, and the taste was something only his grandmother could make.
"Grandma, you are so kind. You still remember what I like to eat."
Lu Yan took the bowl of steamed yogurt with sugar and took a bite, then he started to flatter his grandmother again, praising her so much that his eyes narrowed into a line.
"As long as my dear grandson likes her, even the fairy grandmother in heaven will be invited down to be your wife."
Lu Yan was eating Tang Zhen Su Ru when he suddenly glanced at Song Jihe. "What if the Queen Mother doesn't agree?"
"If you don't agree, I will try to trip up the Queen Mother and let you two elope, hahaha." Grandma laughed heartily as she said this.
Lu Yan looked at Song Jihe and shook his head smugly.
Song Jihe knew that he was going to bring his grandmother out as a rescuer, so he immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Mom, please don't spoil him too much. Do you know who this 'fairy' he's talking about is?"
After Song Jihe reminded her, grandma remembered what she had told her yesterday about A Yan and the girl Qingqing.
Grandma stopped her hearty laughter and said in embarrassment: "My dear grandson...how about we change to a "fairy"? "
Lu Yan put the candied cheese in his hand on the table, raised his hands, and started to act like a child, "No, I want this."
Grandma had no choice but to look at Song Jihe's expression again.
"Xiao He, if the child likes you, just let him go. Logically speaking, our two families are far away from each other."
Song Jihe had no intention of backing down. "That child's background is indeed not very glorious. Don't marry him and let others laugh at you."
When Lu Yan heard the words "disgraceful origin", he immediately became unhappy.
"Mom, it's a different era now, and you still care about this? If you say it's shameful, do you think our family's current situation is glorious?"
Song Jihe was speechless. His grandmother didn't know that Lu Mingqi had been arrested. If the old lady knew about it, she would inevitably scold her.
When Song Jihe insisted on marrying Lu Mingqi, her grandmother also opposed it. Now if she knew that she really couldn't judge people well, I don't know how she would nag her.
"What's glorious or shameful? Why is our family shameful?"
Grandma finally got to the bottom of this issue.
Song Jihe quickly came out to smooth things over, "Oh, the child is ignorant and talking nonsense, Mom, please don't listen to his nonsense."
Fearing that Lu Yan would continue to dwell on this issue, Song Jihe simply brought out his great-grandmother to take charge.
"It's not that I'm feudal-minded. You are all my great-grandmother's children. I think it's better to let your great-grandmother make the decision on this matter. As long as she agrees, I have nothing to say."
Lu Yan was surprised, "Grandma is still alive?!"
Grandma said, "Not only is he still alive, he's in great spirits."
Lu Yan had only seen his great-grandmother once when he was a child, so when he grew up he always thought that she had passed away.
Although Lu Yan didn't want to put his happiness in the hands of others, he and Qingqing should indeed go and see their great-grandmother.
He thought about it and said, "Okay, I agree."
In fact, Lu Yan was already prepared to cheat. No matter who it was, whether they agreed or not, it didn't matter to him. He just had to agree himself.
The reason why he was still cooperating with them in the discussion was simply because he hoped to marry Qingqing in a more decent manner when the time came.
Moreover, no matter how energetic the great-grandmother is, she is still an old woman over a hundred years old. If she agrees, it will be fine. But if she disagrees, Lu Yan will plan to "slander" her, saying that she is too old and mentally unclear, and forcibly veto her vote.
Finally, a proper solution to this problem was found. Dinner was ready at this time. Just as the family was about to sit down, the housekeeper came over to inform them.
"Madam, there's a lady named Li Qingqing outside the door."
Hearing Qingqing's name, Lu Yan looked at him suddenly.
"Qingqing?"
The butler nodded: "That's how she introduced herself."
Lu Yan looked at Song Jihe, who didn't intend to deny it. "Yes, I invited her here."
