Chapter 385 Opposition
Seeing Mrs. Lu's resolute attitude, Lu Yilei couldn't help but frown, and his tone became a little heavier, "Mom, getting married is my own business, why are you always opposing it?"
At this moment, Meng Rou also returned from the bathroom. As soon as she returned, she could sense the strange atmosphere at the dinner table. She was no fool, so she could naturally guess why the atmosphere had become like this.
She returned to sit next to Lu Yile, keeping her head down, and it was unclear what she was thinking at the moment.
"Mom, I want to marry Xiaorou." Lu Yilei was very determined, "I want to give Xiaorou a legitimate status, and I also want to give the child a legitimate status."
As he spoke, he kept holding Meng Rou's hand beside him, wanting to give her some strength in this way.
Meng Rou, beside her, was feeling sad because of the other people's attitudes, but she couldn't help but feel a little warmed by the support from Lu Yilei. However, as if she had thought of something, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.
"Fourth Brother, how did you talk to Mom?" The one who spoke was Lu Yihong, the eldest brother of the Lu family. When he looked at Lu Yile, there was a warning in his eyes, "Everything Mom said now is for your own good. You've been playing around with other women for so many years, there's no need to rush into marriage."
"Brother!" Lu Yilei was also a little anxious. "Why do you say that too? You said it's been so many years, and now I finally want to settle down. Shouldn't you be happy?"
"Then how do you know you're serious this time?" Second brother Lu Yiming also interrupted, "Who can say for sure how long your enthusiasm will last this time?"
The atmosphere at the dinner table was not very good. It could be said that everyone in the Lu family was against this marriage.
The only people who weren't affected were probably Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao. Especially Zhong Nianyao, if she hadn't wanted to maintain her image, she might have already eaten while watching the show.
"Dad," Lu Yilei turned his gaze to his father, "I'm serious this time. I really want to settle down."
Old Master Lu, who had been silent the entire time, also looked up at this moment, his eyes sharp as he stared straight at his youngest son. "Then how can you guarantee that you're really serious this time? You say you're serious now, but who could have guessed that you'd regret it the next moment?"
"Why don't you believe me?" Lu Yilei felt like he couldn't explain himself. "I really want to get married. Besides, Xiaorou is already pregnant with my child. Are you going to watch this child become illegitimate?"
No one answered. Obviously, no one cared about this child.
"Dad, Mom, I've made up my mind." Lu Yilei was stubborn. "Xiaorou and I will get married, and the child will be our legitimate child. Even if you object, it's useless. Like I said, marriage is a matter between two people. As long as we both agree, then it's fine."
When Meng Rou beside him looked at Lu Yile, her eyes were filled with emotion and guilt.
Mrs. Lu's expression changed drastically, and when she looked at Meng Rou, her eyes were full of coldness.
In this matter, she would not blame her son, but the woman who seduced her son. Obviously, in her eyes, Meng Rou was a vixen who was harming her son and a troublemaker.
Mr. Lu's expression remained unchanged. He nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to get married, it's really your own business. The Marriage Law is there. Our objection is just an opinion. You have the right to obey or not obey."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were immediately focused on Mr. Lu. They didn't expect that Mr. Lu would agree so easily. Just now, it was obvious that Mr. Lu was also against this marriage.
Lu Yile's face was filled with joy, and he tightly held Meng Rou's hand.
Meng Rou couldn't help but smile. She hadn't expected that Mr. Lu, who was the most talkative person in the entire Lu family, actually agreed to their marriage.
This is such a pleasant surprise!
However, Lu Yile and Meng Rou’s joy did not last long, as it was completely shattered by Mr. Lu’s next words.
"Lu Yilei, as long as you are not from my Lu family, then your marriage is your own business and has nothing to do with us."
Mr. Lu spoke calmly, but his words were cruel. "From childhood to adulthood, your achievements are certainly due to your own efforts, but the Lu family has also given you a lot of help. Since you are under the Lu family's protection, you can't escape the Lu family's interference in your marriage now. If you really think this is your personal matter, then your affairs will no longer have anything to do with the Lu family."
As soon as the words fell, a strange silence fell on the dinner table and no one spoke.
Even Lu Yilei, who had just been speaking with such righteousness, fell silent. He didn't know how to respond. He did want to marry Meng Rou, but if that meant losing the Lu family's protection, he couldn't make the decision.
Meng Rou felt cold all over at this moment, and her lips were trembling.
Although she had a premonition that the marriage would not go smoothly before coming here, she did not expect that there would be such serious consequences.
The gap between the Meng and Lu families was too great, so it was reasonable for the Lu family to look down on her. However, she had never expected that Mr. Lu would be so blunt and say that if he married her, Lu Yilei would no longer have any relationship with the Lu family. Wasn't that a disguised way of expelling Lu Yilei from the Lu family?
When Mrs. Lu looked at Mr. Lu, there was a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
She had never expected that her husband would say such harsh words.
But looking at Meng Rou, and then looking at Lu Yilei who was now completely bewildered, she felt that this was also a good thing. She just couldn't believe that Lu Yilei would really abandon their Lu family completely for a woman.
Moreover, if Lu Yile was smart enough, he should know that all his current achievements are closely related to the Lu family.
Looking at the silent Lu Yilei, Mr. Lu did not give up. He continued to ask, "So what now? Do you still insist on getting married?"
