Lu Tianbao was also angry and yelled at his father, "They said you like men now. At first, I didn't believe it, but it seems they were telling the truth. I never thought you would actually stand in the way of your own son's happiness for a stranger. I'm so disappointed in you!"
Lu Tianbao's father was so angry with Lu Tianbao that he almost fainted. What an unfilial son! How could he say such unreasonable and treasonous things? But then he thought about it and realized that Lu Tianbao's willful and unreasonable behavior was all his fault.
His wife died young, and in order to prevent Lu Tianbao from being wronged, he never remarried, but he never stopped having women around him.
The women around him all seemed so gentle and virtuous when they were close to him, but behind his backs, they were a different story. One of them even kidnapped Lu Tianbao in an attempt to force him to marry her.
That kidnapping caused Lu Tianbao the greatest suffering of his life, and he almost lost his life. From then on, Lu Tianbao's father never had a long-term mistress again. When he couldn't stand it anymore, he asked his assistant to find him a prostitute.
Because he was generous, the women who had fallen in love with him tried their best to please him. Over time, he felt that this was quite good and more interesting than having a long-term mistress.
Some time ago, someone offered him a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, but he refused, because Lu Tianbao was that age when he was kidnapped by one of his mistresses.
.
Somehow, rumors started circulating that he liked men. If Lu Tianbao hadn't told him, he would have thought that the rumors about him liking men would fade away over time.
“Tianbao!” Lu Tianbao’s father lowered his voice. “I am your father. You have to believe me. I will not harm you. Just now, we have investigated and found out the identity of the person who took away the Bai family girl and beat you. He has connections in the military. He is someone we cannot afford to offend.”
Lu Tianbao, used to being arrogant, was about to roar, not caring about military matters, when his father continued, "Tianbao, now you should understand why your father wants you to marry those girls from prestigious families, right? I want those so-called elite families to open their eyes wide and see that our Lu family is indeed rich, and can marry into their prestigious families. From now on, we will no longer fear their power. Our Lu family is truly rich and powerful, hahaha..."
When he got to the part he was most proud of, Lu Tianbao's father burst into laughter.
Lu Tianbao was truly unfilial. He threw a large basin of ice water at his smug father, saying, "Dad, stop dreaming. I won't marry anyone but Bai Lu!"
Lu Tianbao's father was furious. "Don't tell me again that you're going to marry that Bai Lu. Since she's been taken away, she's definitely a used woman. I don't care what you do outside, but my Lu family's daughter-in-law must be pure and innocent!"
Lu Tianbao sneered, his stubbornness rising. "Dad, you say Bai Lu is a used woman, but how many of those noble ladies in the photos are innocent? Dad, I'm saying it right here today: I will marry no one but Bai Lu!"
"You..." Lu Tianbao was so angry that he was panting heavily. After all, he was talking to his own son on the phone, and a direct confrontation wouldn't work. He took a deep breath and coaxed Lu Tianbao in the same tone he used to use when he was a child, "Tianbao, this time, your dad has really found you an excellent wife. Her maternal grandmother is a high-ranking official in Beijing, a true lady from a prestigious family. Moreover, according to the information I obtained through many people, that girl has never been in a relationship before."
Lu Tianbao retorted, "At your age, if you've never been in a relationship, you must be incredibly ugly. Besides, even if you're not ugly, you must be extremely boring."
Lu Tianbao's father patiently advised, "Son, you're wrong this time. That girl isn't ugly at all. As for not having dated before, it's because of her strict upbringing. She was sent abroad in junior high and just returned to China at the beginning of the year. There are plenty of men who want to marry her. Besides, her name is nice and easy to remember. It's the 'Yuan' in 'fate'. Her name is Yuanyuan."
Lu Tianbao scoffed, "Those who want to marry her don't actually want to marry her; they just want her because her maternal grandmother is a high-ranking official."
While Lu Tianbao's father was pleased that his son was finally thinking things through, he also emphasized, "So, we need to hurry up too. After all, socialites who are the right age and don't have parents constantly giving them advice are extremely rare."
"But..." Lu Tianbao hesitated, "White Dew..."
"My silly son!" Lu Tianbao's father interrupted him on the other end of the phone. "The reason you're so infatuated with that girl from the Bai family is simply because you've never seen a girl from a prestigious family so rude. Once the novelty wears off, you might even find her annoying. Son, think about it carefully. With that Bai girl's fiery temper, she even dared to hit the Cai family's son. Don't even mention marrying her in the future. As her husband, your father has eaten more salt than you've walked roads. I can tell you with certainty that if you really marry that Bai girl, you'll definitely be beaten up if you disobey her in the slightest. If you dare to have other women outside, I estimate she'll tie you up with those women and beat them together. Moreover, judging from her vicious heart, a beating won't be enough to vent her hatred. She might very well tie you up and throw you into the river after beating you up..."
"Dad, Dad..." Lu Tianbao grew increasingly terrified as he listened, and quickly interrupted his father, "Don't say anymore, I'm scared. Um... that girl you mentioned earlier, the one whose parents are both deceased and who only has a grandmother who's a high-ranking official, could you introduce me to her sometime?"
.
"Son, you must remember this: when choosing a wife, choose a virtuous one; when choosing a concubine, choose one who is beautiful." Lu Tianbao's father said this to Lu Tianbao before hanging up the phone.
