Chapter 277 She is my fiancée
From the perspective of the Lu family, Lu Shiyu's concerns and worries are correct. His brother's life is definitely more important than Lin Youqian's.
Since Lu Shiyu opposed it, Lin Youqian didn't want to owe the Lu family such a big favor and hide behind them like a turtle.
"Third Brother Lu is right. I should be the one fighting. I'm better at handling these weapons than you are."
"I, Lin Youqian, am deeply grateful for your generous assistance in helping me rescue Qiqi from behind."
"Lin Youqian, this matter is non-negotiable. The Third Brother's opinion doesn't count!"
Lu Shixu pulled Lu Shiyu aside and told him in a firm tone.
"My business is my own decision. I will never bring trouble to the Lu family. You are not allowed to object."
Lu Shiyu looked at Lu Shixu with disappointment, thinking that this stupid brother was so stupid that he was beyond redemption.
"Brother, I know you like Qiqi, but why are you doing this? She's already married to Lin Youqian, and you don't have any hope anymore. Why would you go to this extent just for your love rival?"
"What do you want?"
Lu Shixu looked at the sky bitterly, with endless sorrow in the corners of his eyes.
"I don't want anything. I just want Qiqi to live a peaceful, healthy and happy life. That will satisfy me."
Lu Shiyu couldn't understand him. How could a person be so foolish for love?
"Second brother, are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy!" Lu Shixu's voice choked as he revealed the most regrettable secret in his heart.
"She is Jiaojiao, my fiancée, Jiaojiao."
"Now, do you understand?"
Lu Shiyu's brain seemed to have been stunned by two thousand watts of high voltage electricity, and he didn't react for a long time.
"Second brother, what are you talking about? Have you really been blinded by love? You said Qiqi is Jiaojiao? The missing fourth daughter of the Hua family?"
"How is this possible?"
At first, when Lu Shixu learned her identity, he couldn't believe it. He was grieving for two whole months before accepting the fact that it was fate.
"I'm sure he is Jiaojiao."
"That time, while watching the surveillance footage at the military detention center, I accidentally saw the birthmark on Qiqi's lower back. It was exactly the same as the birthmark on the little baby from the Hua family."
"Besides, I checked. Qiqi isn't a daughter of the Qi family; she was adopted. Her age is also exactly right. So, she is my child wife, Hua Jiao."
Over the years, the missing fourth daughter of the Hua family has always been a deep concern in the second brother's heart.
No wonder he was willing to go to the battlefield on behalf of Yoga Lin even at the cost of his own life, just to make up for the guilt he felt twenty-one years ago.
Make up for the regret of missing out on a lifetime.
The Hua family and the Lu family once formed an alliance due to commercial interests and joined hands to compete for hegemony and territory in the business field.
Therefore, from the moment she was born, the fourth daughter of the Hua family was arranged to marry by the elders of the two families and became the fiancée of the second son of the Lu family.
On the day of her first birthday party, everyone in the Lu family went to the Hua family to congratulate her.
Lu Shixu, who was only 8 years old, also met his legendary fiancée.
She was small, pink and tender, and indeed very cute. He even kissed her little cheek.
"Jiaojiao? Your name is Jiaojiao, right?"
This scene amused the relatives and elders present. They all teased Lu Shixu and made fun of him and the little kid.
"Oh, look, how much does Ah Xu like this young wife?"
"Yeah, they've already kissed before they even got married. He'll definitely be a doting wife from now on."
"Haha, that's right. In my opinion, let Ah Xu hold Jiao Jiao to sleep tonight. Let them develop their relationship from a young age, and they will definitely be inseparable in the future."
…
Lu Shixu, who has been smart and has a strong sense of self-esteem since childhood, could not stand these mocking jokes.
He immediately started to act like a child.
"Nonsense, who wants to marry this little girl? She's so ugly! I don't want her to be my wife."
"I will never marry a wife in my life."
The elders' laughter not only did not stop, but became even louder.
"Look, that stinky boy Ah Xu is still angry? Humph, if you don't marry Jiaojiao, we will marry our daughter to other good men in the future, so that you can't marry her even if you want to."
"Humph, she can marry whoever she wants. I don't care."
At that time, his eldest brother Lu Shishang even interrupted and teased him, "Second brother, if you don't like Jiaojiao, I will marry you!"
But the adults were not happy. "Ah Shang, forget it. You're thirteen years older than Jiaojiao. By the time she grows up, you'll be old. Ah Xu is still the best. You can tell at a glance that he loves his wife."
Lu Shixu was furious, his face flaming like a pufferfish. "I won't marry her. Who would want to marry such a little girl?"
How could an eight-year-old child understand what love was? Twenty years later, those words he had said to me had turned into sharp blades that pierced his heart, causing him to lose his breath.
If he knew that his fiancée would be able to make him fall in love with her at first sight when she grew up, he would not say such nonsense even if his teeth were broken.
After hearing that he was not going to marry, Hua Jiao in the cradle burst into tears.
Tears as big as beans gushed out like spring water, smearing her rosy face. Her aggrieved look was particularly pitiful.
Uncle Hua immediately picked up his daughter, rocking her and coaxing her gently.
"Jiaojiao, don't cry. Brother Xu is just teasing you. How could he not want his precious Jiaojiao?"
"He likes you so much!"
Strangely enough, after hearing this, the little girl stopped crying and started giggling.
Everyone started joking again.
"Oh my, these two are truly a match made in heaven. Little Jiaojiao is so young, and she already knows how to cling to her husband!"
"Haha, that's right. When she heard that Ah Xu didn't want her, she cried. But when she heard that Ah Xu liked her, she laughed!"
Lu Shixu's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Hua Jiao in the cradle and got angry.
"You little brat, shame on me, shameless. Who would want to marry you? I hate you."
Now that her words had spread to the Dragon King Temple, Hua Jiao burst into tears at the top of her lungs, and no matter who tried to comfort her, no one could stop her.
Finally, I don’t know who proposed it.
"How about letting Ah Xu hold it and try?"
Lu Shixu was unwilling, but his mother took the child and forced it on him.
"Silly boy, hurry up and hold her. She's your own wife, so you can comfort her yourself."
Lu Shixu was so angry that he wanted to throw the child away. "I don't want her. Who would want to marry this little crybaby? I'm so annoyed."
"Take it away, take it away quickly."
It’s really strange. Although Lu Shixu hated this little kid, Hua Jiao really stopped crying when he held her.
So, during the busy first birthday party, the job of coaxing the baby fell on Lu Shixu.
He stared at Hua Jiao in the cradle, feeling extremely angry.
"You annoying bastard, you're so annoying. You just keep crying and whining. You're useless."
Hua Jiao pouted, let out a cry, and began to wail endlessly again.
Even if Lu Shixu held her, she couldn't stop.
"Don't cry, you annoying bastard. Do you hear me? If you cry again, I'll throw you away."
Aunt Hua handed him a bottle and said to him with a smile, "Jiaojiao must be hungry. Try feeding her milk."
As soon as Lu Shixu put the bottle into her mouth, the little one started gulping down the milk. Because she ate too fast, milky white milk overflowed from the corners of her mouth.
Lu Shixu felt disgusted again when he saw this.
"You are so dirty, you don't care about being clean at all. Your mouth leaks even when you are feeding."
The little baby let go of the pacifier and looked at him with big, watery eyes like grapes. Her expression became more and more aggrieved.
He let out a cry and started crying again.
