Do you want this blessing?
"The Qin family is hosting a homecoming banquet for Young Master Qin tomorrow night. In fact, it's the Qin family's old lady's way of choosing a marriage partner for Young Master Qin."
"Whether you can stay in the Lu family depends on whether you can seize this opportunity tomorrow!"
The old lady of the Lu family, who was sitting in the first seat, had a dignified look on her face. Her eyes were cast with an oppressive feeling on the girl standing in the center of the living room. She looked her up and down with a critical eye. There was no favor for the younger generation in her eyes, only the pickyness and scrutiny of the goods.
The girl's simple and cheap white T-shirt and jeans are out of place in the Chinese-style mansion with carved beams and painted buildings, which exudes a sense of nobility and oppression that has existed for hundreds of years.
Lu Jin slowly raised his eyes and met Madam Qin's scrutinizing gaze, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant: "I can agree to the marriage, but I have a request."
As soon as Lu Jin finished speaking, Lu Qingshan, who was sitting on the armchair on the left, stood up with a swish. He looked at Lu Jin with sharp eyes and sneered: "Lu Jin, put your identity in perspective. You are a star born out of despair. The Lu family still let you come back. You should be grateful!"
"What is the status of the Qin family? If you can marry the eldest young master of the Qin family, it will be the honor you have earned in this life!"
It's ridiculous that a family has abandoned a child and still wants to negotiate conditions!
The middle-aged man's undisguised contempt and ridicule in his words did not cause Lu Jin to look embarrassed at all.
She turned her head, her black and white eyes staring at Lu Qingshan quietly, and said slowly: "This blessing is for you, do you want it?"
"you--"
Lu Qingshan was so angry that his face turned ashen. He raised his hand, stretched out his index finger, and pointed at Lu Jin tremblingly.
There has never been a younger generation as presumptuous as Lu Jin, who does not take his uncle seriously at all.
As if he couldn't see the anger on Lu Qingshan's face, Lu Jin continued calmly: "It seems that even uncle doesn't dare to accept this blessing."
Lu Qingshan felt that his dignity was challenged, and he was furious: "Lu Jin, are you——"
"Shut up!" Madam Lu, who had been silent all this time, interrupted Lu Qingshan's angry words. Her voice was clearly not loud, but it silenced Lu Qingshan instantly.
Lu Qingshan's face was full of reluctance.
Old Madam Lu glanced at him and then turned her gaze back to Lu Jin. She exuded the pressure of a superior and looked at Lu Jin with sharp eyes.
At the same time, Lu Jin also looked up.
When their eyes met, the girl's expression did not show any sign of retreat, but was calm, yet there was a hint of madness in her!
From the moment she appeared until now, Lu Jin has behaved very calmly, and in the eyes of Mrs. Lu, such calmness is nothing more than a disguise of the little girl who wants to gain the greatest benefit.
In such a pair of calm eyes, Madam Lu could clearly see the girl's ambition!
It's good to be ambitious.
In a top-tier aristocratic family like the Lu family, people without any ambition are the ones she despises the most.
Lu Jin is ambitious, which means she will not be content with the status quo. If she can really marry into the Qin family, then she will do things that benefit the entire Lu family. Otherwise, even if she marries into the Qin family, she will not be of any help to the Lu family!
Madam Lu said, "What are your conditions?"
Lu Qingshan looked at Mrs. Lu in surprise. He knew that this meant she was compromising.
Lu Qingshan was somewhat unwilling to accept this. Even though in his opinion, Lu Jin's insignificant existence would not have any influence on him at all, Lu Jin's behavior had already crossed the line.
Compromise will only encourage the other party's arrogance!
But he could not refute Mrs. Lu's decision. Lu Qingshan was unwilling but could only choose to remain silent.
Lu Jin met Madam Lu's sharp eyes, his tone still calm: "I want to join the Lu Group."
Lu Qingshan took a breath and sneered. She really dared to think so!
I originally thought that this girl just wanted more money for dowry, but I didn't expect that she would actually set her sights on the company!
Madam Lu narrowed her eyes slightly, and only then did she seriously look at the extremely beautiful girl in front of her.
It's good to be ambitious, but if your ability doesn't match your ambition, it will only make people feel ridiculous!
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense, and the long silence made the atmosphere extremely depressing.
When Lu Qingshan thought that Madam Lu would directly reject Lu Jin's request, or even scold her, he heard Madam Lu say, "If you can really smoothly arrange this marriage with the eldest young master of the Qin family, I will agree to your request."
"Mom?!" Lu Qingshan looked at Mrs. Lu in surprise.
Madam Lu ignored him and fixed her gaze on Lu Jin, not disguising the pressure emanating from her body: "I hope you won't let me down!"
Lu Jin raised the corners of his lips slightly, his smile was well-behaved and harmless.
Until Lu Jin left, Lu Qingshan had no way to relieve the pent-up anger in his heart.
"Mom, why did you agree to her?" Lu Qingshan didn't understand why Mrs. Lu agreed to Lu Jin's unreasonable request.
Old Madam Lu tilted her head and looked at him with a slightly cold look in her eyes, which instantly calmed Lu Qingshan down.
"You're already so old, yet you're still so impatient!" Madam Lu said sternly, "I think you're getting older and older. You're not even as steady as a little girl!"
"If that girl really has the ability to win over the eldest young master of the Qin family, the Lu family can't just let her marry him with a reputation of having nothing!"
"It's just a position. There are so many branches under the group, she can be assigned to any branch when the time comes. You should be thankful that she didn't ask for shares."
Whether it was Madam Lu or Lu Qingshan, in their eyes, Lu Jin was just a chess piece that could be used and could not cause any waves at all.
Compared with the request put forward by Lu Jin, Mrs. Lu obviously cared more about whether Lu Jin could complete this task.
If not, then there is no need for her to continue staying in the Lu family!
The depression in Lu Qingshan's heart instantly dissipated because of what Old Lady Lu said, but he was still a little worried.
Lu Jin was only five years old when she was sent away. Lu Qingshan vaguely remembered that the little girl was soft and cute. She always smiled at everyone she saw and was particularly well-behaved and lovable.
Although Lu Jin is very beautiful now and has inherited all the advantages of her parents, Lu Qingshan can still clearly feel that Lu Jin is very different from when she was five years old!
But then I thought, she is just a little girl who grew up in the countryside, what kind of trouble can she cause?
Whether or not the eldest young master of the Qin family can be captured is still an unknown!
-
The Qin family's eldest son Qin Siyan's homecoming banquet was held by the Qin family's old lady directly at the Qin family's Xihe Manor.
When Lu Jin arrived at Xihe Manor by car, many young ladies from aristocratic families were already at the door.
Led by the waiter, Lu Jin came to the reception room.
The gorgeous crystal chandeliers and antique luxury items everywhere are dazzling, and all of them reveal the owner's luxury.
Having seen the Lu family's low-key yet luxurious style, Lu Jin was still momentarily stunned and... liked the way all the good things were suddenly placed in front of him, making him feel that they were very valuable at first glance.
The socialites and young gentlemen, wearing all kinds of high-end custom-made dresses, gathered in groups of three or four, chatting and laughing, but if you look closely, you can still see that they are wary of each other.
Lu Jin took a quick look and found that there were about twenty girls, not including the boys. This number still surprised her.
Qin Siyan, the eldest son of the Qin family, has not been in good health since childhood. He has been recuperating abroad in recent years. The inside information Lu Jin received is that Qin Siyan will not live for many years.
The old lady of the Qin family believed in the fortune-telling outside, so she wanted to have a happy marriage.
Naturally, this matter cannot be said openly, so this banquet was held. In order to avoid gossip, only young men and women were invited. The reason was to allow Qin Siyan to make more friends with young people in the circle, but in fact it was to choose a qualified marriage partner!
However, the fact that Qin Siyan was in poor health and would not live long was no secret in the circle. Any parent with a conscience would not send their daughter to be married off.
More than half of the ladies who can come here today are abandoned by their families.
Noticing Lu Jin's appearance, everyone couldn't help but look over. A flash of surprise flashed in their eyes, followed by hostility and relief...all kinds of complicated emotions came upon them.
Lu Jin appeared at the banquet as a stranger. Her bright and aggressive appearance made people afraid to approach her easily.
Lu Jin didn't care at the moment. After taking a quick look around and not seeing her target person today, she turned around and left the banquet hall and walked somewhere else.
She has only one goal today, to capture Qin Siyan!
Lu Jin didn't know much about the eldest son of the Qin family. He had been abroad for more than ten years, so she had no way to find out more about him.
The only memory she has is when she was five years old and went to the Qin family with her parents to attend a banquet. At that time, she was playing around and accidentally fell into a pit. A child appeared and she asked him for help, but the child was very mean and made her agree to many unequal treaties before agreeing to rescue her.
After she agreed, the child stretched out his hand to her. The moment her hand held his hand, the child suddenly became ill, spitting blood all over her face, and fell directly onto her.
Later, she had to step on his body to climb out of the pit.
That was the only time she met Qin Siyan. It is said that it is difficult to change one's nature. The bad kid back then should have a bad personality now that he has grown up.
Lu Jin walked around but didn't find anyone.
Lu Jin had no choice but to turn around and go back to the banquet hall to wait.
Until nine o'clock, the protagonist of the banquet did not show up.
Although everyone was getting a little anxious waiting inside, they didn't show it on their faces.
In the study on the third floor, the old lady of the Qin family's eyes fell on the young man sitting on the chair opposite. Her face was a little anxious but not angry at all. Especially when she noticed the man's handsome face that looked too pale due to illness, there was only heartache in her eyes.
"It's already half past nine, don't you really plan to go down and take a look?" Mrs. Qin's words of blame were originally uttered with compromise and helplessness.
Qin Siyan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and his originally cold and hard facial lines softened. "Grandma, you know exactly what my physical condition is. Getting married is obviously delaying the girl's life."
Madam Qin pursed her lips and sighed heavily: "Grandma only wants to see you get married and have children in her lifetime."
Seeing Qin Siyan frowning slightly, Madam Qin, who was about to continue to persuade him, compromised instantly: "Okay, grandma won't force you, but since the guests are here today, you have to go out and say hello."
Qin Siyan did not refuse again and nodded.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Old Lady Qin's face.
Old Madam Qin personally accompanied Qin Siyan out.
The two walked to the stairs together. It was very lively downstairs. Everyone was gathered in twos and threes. It was obvious that everyone seemed very happy.
Old Madam Qin looked at the socialites who came downstairs to attend the banquet. There were not many familiar faces among them. She had seen almost all the young ladies from aristocratic families before, and she had a few candidates in mind, but none of them came.
It was obvious that the other party did not want to marry Qin Siyan, and in order not to offend the Qin family, she even allowed some illegitimate daughters who were not presentable to the public to come.
Old Madam Qin's expression looked somewhat grim.
Among the group of girls who appeared downstairs, none of them caught the eye of Old Lady Qin.
Retracting her gaze, Old Madam Qin turned to look at Qin Siyan, only to see that he was looking at the group of people downstairs with an indifferent expression, without any emotion in his eyes.
Old Madam Qin was just about to ask Qin Siyan to go downstairs to say hello and go back to rest, when she saw Qin Siyan's emotionless eyes suddenly brighten up, so bright that it even made her feel dazed.
"Grandma, I think getting married is a good idea."
