Lu Qingquan had no intention of marrying Ye Lan. His career was on the rise, he had a bright future, and his family background was good. Why would he jump into a pit so early?
And it's Ye Lan who's in this mess!
He's not out of his mind.
Lu Qingquan is no longer the same person he used to be. Now that he has gained some experience, he is more ambitious and has a broader vision.
He didn't even think much of Ye Lan, who wasn't even considered pretty. Countless people in the hotel were gossiping behind his back, saying it was such a waste that such a beautiful flower was stuck with such a piece of cow dung.
Moreover, after meeting the fiery Southern girl, Lu Qingquan had already developed some dissatisfaction with Ye Lan. Influenced by the gossip of his hotel colleagues, he looked down on Ye Lan completely. How could he possibly marry Ye Lan again?
Lu Qingquan had a good plan: to stall for time, since he was a man and could afford to!
When Ye Lan gets older, she will naturally step down on her own. He doesn't need to earn the bad reputation of being a modern-day Chen Shimei!
Yue Hongxia got angry as soon as she heard Ye Lan's name. She was very unhappy that Lu Mo had brought up the topic so bluntly, and deliberately asked, "When is Lu Mo going back to the army? Soon, right?"
Lu Mo said calmly, "I'll go back to the army once my leg is healed."
"Be careful when you get back to the army. Don't take on any more dangerous missions. If you get injured again, you might not be as lucky as you were this time. Your mother would be devastated!"
Yue Hongxia feigned concern, but her words were like knives, stabbing deeply into Lin Shufang's heart.
This is what Lin Shufang is most worried about.
She would rather her son live a mediocre life than have him get promoted through dangerous missions!
"Lu Mo is skilled enough that he won't get hurt!" Ye Qingqing said unhappily.
Yue Hongxia scoffed, "No matter how skilled you are, you're not invincible. Otherwise, how come you injured your leg last time? You almost couldn't stand up!"
Lin Shufang's face paled, and she felt even more distressed.
The old man, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, grabbed a handful of walnuts from the plate and placed them in front of Yue Hongxia. "Eat up!"
Yue Hongxia was stunned for a moment, feeling quite flattered. After being married into the Lu family for so many years, this was the first time the old man had ever given her something!
"Thank you, Dad. I'll eat in a bit!"
Yue Hongxia put the walnuts aside. Before she could finish speaking, she saw Lin Shufang's distress and felt happy.
"Eat now, food won't shut you up!"
The old man could no longer contain his anger and rebuked him in a deep voice.
Yue Hongxia trembled with fright, staring at the old man in disbelief. Her previous flattery vanished, leaving only resentment.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and that old man didn't give her any face at all, humph!
I hope that old man gets paralyzed soon; she absolutely will not serve him!
Yue Hongxia was indignant and wanted to retort, but Lu Jiangang stomped on her foot hard under the table and glared at her.
Yue Hongxia then behaved herself, sitting there with an unpleasant expression, as if someone owed her a million dollars.
"Qingquan is not young anymore. Now that you've found someone, you should get married when you're old enough, settle down and start a family. Marriage and career don't conflict!"
The old man could tell at a glance what Lu Qingquan was thinking. They were already engaged, yet he was still restless. This grandson was becoming more and more outrageous!
"Lu Mo is older than Qing Quan and still not married, so there's no rush!"
Yue Hongxia argued forcefully, refusing to let her son marry the daughter of a death row inmate, especially one who was half-dead and could kick the bucket at any moment!
"You compare everything with Mo'er. Back in the army, why didn't you compare who had more merits with Mo'er? Why didn't you compare who had higher military rank?"
Besides, is Mo'er as promiscuous as your son? Kissing another girl in broad daylight on the street?
The old man was furious. He always compared Lu Qingquan to his eldest grandson. If Lu Qingquan had even 30% of Lu Mo's abilities, he would do whatever he wanted!
