Most importantly, Lu Guo’an felt that she was obedient and sensible. As for why Lu Guo’an thought so, it was all because of Du Meihong’s words over the past few years.

Although Du Meihong couldn’t say much in front of Lu Yunxiao, she still had some status in front of her husband.

Bai Bing had sent many things to the Lu family over the years. Du Meihong accepted all kinds of luxury cosmetics. The two of them even often ate and drank tea. They had always been on good terms.

Therefore, Du Meihong often talked about Bai Bing’s various merits in front of the old man. The old man felt that this girl was sensible, obedient, and easy to manipulate.

In the old man’s world, obedience was the most important characteristic of being the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. Women didn’t need to be smart and quick-witted. They just had to follow the rules.

Du Meihong’s plan was also very obvious. Lu Yunxiao would get married sooner or later. Instead of choosing a woman she didn’t know, it was better to introduce someone she knew to him. If Bai Bing married into the Lu family, her status as a mother-in-law would be even more stable.

If there was someone who could cause trouble, who knew how chaotic it would be in the future? Lu Guo’an was still in his prime now, but what about in another ten or twenty years? In the future, if Lu Guo’an’s health was not good, Lu Yunxiao would be the head of the family. At that time, it would be a problem if the Lu family still had a place for her.

After all, she and Lu Guo’an did not have their own children. Even if they split the assets, they would not get much. When she married the old man back then, Lu Yunxiao had been careful and forced her to sign the prenuptial agreement.

In order to express her love for him in front of Lu Guo’an and prove that she was not here for money, she knew that this was a trap Lu Yunxiao had dug for her, but she could only bite the bullet and jump in.

And this agreement was like a knife hanging over her head, making her sleepless day and night. Therefore, she needed a woman who listened to her and had a good relationship with her to enter the Lu family. Without a doubt, Bai Bing was the best candidate.

“Jiang Youyi is not bad.” Lu Yunxiao’s tone was frivolous, as if he was joking.

“Jiang Youyi? Who is that?” Lu Guo’an did not react for a moment. Who was this woman?

“Guo’an, Yunxiao is talking about the Jiang family’s third daughter, the little girl who was photographed by the reporters on the trending searches with Yunxiao,” Du Meihong reminded him softly.

“Nonsense! That woman definitely won’t do!” Lu Guo’an was furious.

In Lu Guo’an’s eyes, a small family like the Jiang Family was not qualified to become in-laws with them at all. If his son married a child from such an ordinary family, where would he put his face?

It was one thing for her family to only have one department store to support their livelihood, but that girl herself did not have any good points.

It was mainly because the matter of her breaking off the engagement with the Xu family’s kid had caused an uproar in Ocean City. Almost everyone in the upper-class circle knew about it. What right did such a woman have to enter their Lu family?

“I’ll choose my own marriage.” Although Lu Yunxiao’s tone was not firm, it was very firm.

Du Meihong saw that the atmosphere between the two of them was not right and quickly tried to smooth things over. “Don’t be anxious. That girl has some good points. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been chosen by the Xu family. Now that she has broken off her engagement with that person, she’s also single. Yunxiao, if you really like her, choose a good day to bring her home for a meal. At least let your father meet her before we can talk about marriage, right?”

“You’re not allowed to bring those messy people home. I won’t see them. Which part of Bai Bing isn’t better than this Jiang Youyi you chose yourself? Only she can barely be worthy of our Lu family. Who does the Jiang family think they are? If you insist on doing this… then I won’t care about you, but you’re not allowed to bring her home. 1 don’t want to see her.”

Lu Guo’an had always been a hot-tempered person. After saying this, he turned around and went upstairs.

“Guo’an, drink the porridge before you leave.”

“I’m not drinking anymore,” the old man said. Naturally, it meant that the conversation between the father and son today had completely collapsed.

“Yunxiao, I’ll go up and see your father. You can eat first.” After saying this, Du Meihong jogged upstairs. Lu Yunxiao silently picked up his coat and walked out without saying anything.

On the other side, Mrs. Xu found her son, Xu Yuning’s residence outside. It was Zhang Meng who opened the door for her.

“Madam, don’t mention Jiang Youyi in front of Yuning later. He’s still angry,” Zhang Meng advised gently.

“Who do you think you are? Is there a need for you to teach me how to talk to my son?” Mrs. Xu scolded angrily. Then, she pushed Zhang Meng aside and entered the door..
