Seeing his unworldly demeanor, Old Master Lu and Lu Yunzhang did not react, but Lu Hua and Li Yuan's eyes flashed with disdain.
People born in the countryside are just ignorant.
For a moment, neither of them spoke, and the living room was strangely quiet.
At this point, whoever speaks first is at a disadvantage.
The three members of the Lin family, including Lin Dashan, were unaware of the specific reasons behind their marriage to the Lu family, and all assumed that Lin Wanwan and Lu Yunzhang were in a free-love relationship.
Lin Dashan looked at it and asked cautiously, "Commander Lu, my Wanwan and Commander Lu have been dating for so long, do you think... we can settle things between the two of them?"
Old Master Lu glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
Lu Xue'er scoffed after hearing Lin Dashan's words, "Dating? Lin Wanwan, is that what you told your family?"
"What kind of family is the Lu family? How could we possibly look up to you?"
"If you hadn't lied to me and drugged my brother, you wouldn't even have the right to step into my house."
Thinking about what Lin Wanwan did to Lu Yunzhang, the belittling and ridicule of her brother by people in the circle these past few days, and the attitude of her family towards her after the incident.
Lu Xue'er wished she could smash the cup in her hand into Lin Wanwan's face.
How can there be such a shameless person?
Drugging?
The three members of the Lin family, including Lin Dashan, were shocked and looked at Lin Wanwan with astonished expressions.
I never imagined Lin Wanwan would be so bold.
That's incredibly audacious!
It all depends on the Lu family's reaction; she's managed to succeed in her scheme.
Lin Dashan's eyes darted around, and countless thoughts raced through his mind.
Since they have the upper hand, what is there to worry about?
After thinking it through, he looked up at Lu Xue'er and said to Grandpa Lu, "Things have come to this point. It seems that our two families are destined to be together. We should put the marriage of those two children on the agenda as soon as possible. It will not be good for either of us if we drag it out."
He looked directly at Old Master Lu, his posture no longer humble or ingratiating.
Old Master Lu narrowed his eyes, his gaze so sharp it seemed he could see right through Lin Dashan.
The old general, who had spent most of his life fighting on the battlefield and killing countless enemies, could still exude a heavy, menacing aura with just a casual glance.
How could Lin Dashan, a child raised in the countryside, tolerate such a look?
Almost the instant Old Master Lu looked over, he averted his gaze, not daring to look directly at him.
Grandpa Lu withdrew his gaze, his indifferent demeanor revealing nothing of his thoughts.
He beckoned to Lu Yunzhang, who then sat down.
An aged yet still resonant voice rang out in the living room, "Yunzhang, if Grandpa wanted you to marry him, would you agree?"
Lu Yunzhang's brows furrowed slightly involuntarily, a hint of resentment and helplessness flashing in his eyes.
It felt like two little people were arguing in my mind, one shouting loudly in refusal, insisting on sticking to its bottom line.
The other sighed helplessly, listing the various factors that forced them to compromise.
In the hall, everyone looked at him, waiting for his decision.
After a long silence, Lu Yunzhang seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and slowly nodded, the movement so slight it was almost imperceptible.
But that nod was like a heavy stone falling into a calm lake, shattering his last remaining conviction.
His voice rang out softly, "I agree."
Lin Wanwan's lips curled up high, her smile brimming with undisguised smugness and delight.
Indeed, one shouldn't have too many bottom lines; as long as the goal can be achieved, any means are acceptable.
She gave up her marriage to the Qin family for Huo Jing, endured six months of hardship in the countryside, and ultimately gained nothing.
On the contrary, she only needed to use a little bit of skill to marry into the famous Lu family.
Lin Wanwan couldn't help but laugh, and the laughter echoed in the quiet living room, carrying a smug tone that reached everyone's ears.
The Lu family members all looked at her calmly, but in their hearts they despised her.
"I'm going back to the unit first." Lu Yunzhang stood up with a tense face, said goodbye to his family, and left home.
He didn't even glance at the Lin family members throughout the entire process.
"We'll let you know on the wedding day. There won't be a banquet; we'll just get the marriage certificate." At this point, there was no point in saying anything more. Li Yuan raised her chin and said to Lin Wanwan.
The Lin family's expressions changed.
What kind of wedding is it if you don't even have a banquet?
However, the Lu family all agreed to let Lu Yunzhang and Lin Wanwan get their marriage certificate, as they would be husband and wife once they did.
The man's reluctance to hold a banquet clearly indicates that he feels the woman is not presentable and that he is dissatisfied with her.
Lin Wanwan forced a smile, her expression stiff. "The wedding process—the proposal, the betrothal gifts, the banquet—cannot be omitted, or I will not agree."
"If you don't agree, then you don't agree." Lu Xue'er snorted, seeing that she was being displeased. "Since you want to marry my brother, you have to abide by our family rules. Apart from getting a marriage certificate, there are no other procedures. Whether you accept it or not is your business."
The rest of the Lu family remained silent.
It seems their thoughts are the same as Lu Xue'er's.
Using dirty tricks to force them to agree to their marriage, and still want prestige?
Keep dreaming.
"Getting a marriage certificate is fine too." After understanding the Lu family's attitude, Lin Dashan accepted their arrangement.
He then left the Lu family with Lin Heping and his two siblings.
When he got home, Lin Dashan's face fell, and he slammed his hand on the table. "You've really grown up, haven't you? You didn't say a word about such a big thing, making me lose face so much."
Their own daughter drugged someone, yet they're eager to marry into the family. Judging from the Lu family's words, they're utterly shameless.
Marrying into the Lu family should have been a wonderful thing, but now, they've not even given a bride price, let alone held a banquet, making the Lin family lose face.
This is not a marriage alliance, it's clearly a feud.
Lin Wanwan said nonchalantly, "Dad, if we don't do this, do you really think the Lu family will look favorably upon us?"
"As long as I can successfully marry into the Lu family, I don't care about anything else."
"What do dowry and banquet matter? As long as I give birth to a son for Lu Yunzhang, the entire Lu family will belong to my son in the future."
She knew about the Lu family.
Although Grandpa Lu had many sons, only the second son, Lu Hua, and the sixth son, Lu Zhi, were truly capable.
Although Lu Zhi also lived in Beijing, he had long since severed ties with the Lu family and established his own household.
Lu Hua is physically disabled. Lin Xiaoxiao observed him today. His walking posture was a bit strange, like a sequela of his leg injury. He was missing a finger on his left hand.
From this perspective, Lu Yunzhang is the future hope of the Lu family and the heir handpicked by Old Master Lu.
Combined with her dreams, Lu Yunzhang's achievements will only grow higher and higher.
She knew that Lu Yunzhang would never like her when she drugged him.
But so what? As long as she gives birth to a son for him, the future wealth and prosperity of the Lu family will all belong to her.
