Lu Xiangbei had a bad look on his face and only said two words.
"Settlement of accounts."
Old Master Lu looked at Liu Xiangnan, then at Lu Xiangbei, and thought that Lu Xiangbei disliked Liu Xiangnan, so he coughed lightly and spoke somewhat unnaturally.
"Xiangbei, actually, it was my idea for the Zheng family to change the bride."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiangbei looked at Old Man Lu coldly.
Lu Xiangbei was obviously his own son, but when he saw the judgment in Lu Xiangbei's eyes, he felt a little nervous.
"The Zheng family said Wen Jie was diagnosed with leukemia a week ago, and they didn't want to burden the Lu family. Coincidentally, Pan Jinlian has a biological daughter whose birth date and time are very compatible with yours. I also consulted some masters, and they said Xiangnan would bring good luck to you and help you wake up, so I agreed."
Zheng Wenjie has leukemia?
Liu Xiangnan felt like laughing when he heard what Mr. Lu said.
Although she had never actually met Zheng Wenjie, she was in the headhunting studio under the Zheng Group and had heard many times that Zheng Wenjie and her group of young ladies went to various places to seduce men.
Putting aside the dietary restrictions that people with leukemia need to follow, how could the timing be so coincidental?
A week ago was the day when Pan Jinlian came to her house and formally forced her to marry Lu Xiangbei.
She didn't agree at the time, so her adoptive father was killed...
When Liu Xiangnan thought about the fact that his adoptive father died because of his willful behavior, he felt very guilty and hated Pan Jinlian.
"Since you've agreed first, we can put aside the matter of using someone else as a substitute for someone else for the time being. But the Zheng family insulted my wife and made her kowtow three times and nine times. This account must be settled eventually."
Old Master Lu knew that Lu Xiangbei was a rational person, and he would not care about it as long as things were explained clearly.
Seeing that Lu Xiangbei was not angry about the bride change, he felt relieved.
But his brows were also furrowed.
"What does it mean to make Xiangnan kneel three times and kowtow nine times? Pan Jinlian told me that although she and Xiangnan haven't seen each other for many years, she has always been concerned about Xiangnan and has a close and friendly relationship with Xiangnan and her daughter."
“You’ve been deceived.”
After Lu Xiangbei said these four words, he closed his eyes.
It seems like he doesn't want to say more, but also like he is tired.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu's face was filled with guilt. "It's my fault. At the time, I just thought Xiangnan's birth date was good, and there wasn't much time left until the wedding date set by the master, so I didn't investigate carefully."
Lu Xiangbei didn't answer.
Liu Xiangnan didn't know whether she should speak up or not, because Mr. Lu was not communicating with her.
However, she also learned from Mr. Lu why she, who was raised in the countryside and had never seen the world, was able to marry Lu Xiangbei.
It turns out that the fundamental reason was not that she was Pan Jinlian's daughter, but because her fortune was pointing north.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Old Man Lu looked at Lu Xiangbei who was resting with his eyes closed and said with concern, "You just woke up and are still very weak. You should go upstairs and rest."
"I'll wait here."
Lu Xiangbei always keeps his word when making decisions.
Mr. Lu knew the situation better than anyone else, so he simply stopped trying to persuade them. Instead, he sat on the sofa beside him and waited quietly.
An hour later.
Manager Jia came in from outside, "Master, Master, Mr. Zheng, Ms. Zheng, and Miss Zheng are here."
After that, the three of them arrived at the Lu family's living room.
The leader was a middle-aged man with thick, dark hair.
He was wearing a suit, had a beer belly, and was holding a briefcase, the typical look of a successful person.
Behind him was a young woman with a pale face and unsteady steps.
The woman's eyes and mouth are very similar to that of the middle-aged man.
Liu Xiangnan worked under the Zheng Group, so he naturally recognized that the leader was Zheng Dalin.
I also guessed that the young and fragile woman was Zheng Wenjie.
"Northward..."
As soon as she saw Lu Xiangbei, a bit of moisture appeared on Zheng Wenjie's pale face, which made her eyes look dark and shiny, like a wounded deer. Coupled with her restrained look of "wanting to love but not being able to love", she was really very attractive.
Even Liu Xiangnan, a woman, couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted towards Zheng Wenjie after seeing this.
Lu Xiangbei slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zheng Wenjie.
"Ms. Zheng."
His voice was icy: "I'm married, so please call me Mr. Lu, or Lu Xiangbei. Don't use the slightly more intimate name Xiangbei. I'm worried my wife will get jealous."
After hearing this, Liu Xiangnan couldn't help but blush slightly.
This road goes north, I didn't realize it, but he is quite a man of integrity!
Zheng Wenjie obviously didn't expect Lu Xiangbei to be so cold, and he bluntly stopped her from calling his name.
Although she did dislike Lu Xiangbei for being a vegetable and having disabled legs.
But after all, she had been Lu Xiangbei's fiancée for three years!
Liu Xiangnan had only been his wife for three days. Had he actually forgotten her and fallen in love with Liu Xiangnan?
No, no, how could Xiangbei fall in love with that country bumpkin Liu Xiangnan!
It must be because Liu Xiangnan talked nonsense in front of Lu Xiangbei, making him feel that she had abandoned him, or that she despised him and refused to marry him.
Lu Xiangbei is just angry with her now, that must be the case!
Thinking of this, two tears fell from Zheng Wenjie's eyes.
She must let Lu Xiangbei think that she really loves him!
"Xiangbei, are you blaming me? But..."
Zheng Wenjie raised her hand and wiped her tears: "But I have a terminal illness. If I marry you, I am afraid that not only will it not bring you prosperity, but it will also harm you. Xiangbei, you know that the person I love the most is you. I would rather die than let you die."
Listening to Zheng Wenjie's hypocritical words, Liu Xiangnan couldn't help but speak, "Ms. Zheng, my husband was just unconscious before, not dying. Please speak in a more auspicious way."
A hint of cruelty flashed across Zheng Wenjie's eyes. How dare a country girl interrupt and scold her?
Oh!
I really don’t know how to write the word death!
Pan Jinlian saw a flash of displeasure in Zheng Wenjie's eyes and knew that Zheng Wenjie must want to deal with Liu Xiangnan.
So she took the opportunity to speak up and add fuel to the fire.
"Xiangnan, how can you say that? Wenjie is your sister, you have to respect her!"
It would have been fine if she didn't speak, but as soon as she spoke, Lu Xiangbei locked his eyes on her.
"Mrs. Zheng."
Lu Xiangbei's voice suddenly turned cold. "How will you deal with the matter of you deceiving my father and insulting my wife?"
When Pan Jinlian heard this, her heart immediately rose to her throat. Lu Xiangbei was not someone who could be fooled as easily as Old Man Lu.
When she looked at Liu Xiangnan, there was anger, hatred and warning in her eyes.
It seemed like he was angrily questioning Liu Xiangnan again, asking him if he had said something nonsense to Lu Xiangbei.
"Mrs. Zheng, I'm asking you a question. Why are you staring at my wife?"
