Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Give Lan Yuyi a Title

“No, my uncle didn’t mean that, he–”

“Right, not at all. You and I, we have no relationship.”

Dongfang Mu interrupted her, saying calmly, “You have neither wealth nor beauty. What do you hold that can move me?”

“Wisdom? Sorry, all I see is a bizarre, deep-sea fish shape. I don’t see any wisdom.”

“Your wisdom, it’s nothing but your Cui family blowing their own horn. Your intelligence, it’s mediocre at best. You’re the lowest standard in the Cui family. I’m afraid it’s going to end with your generation.”

Cui Shuqian’s face grew cold.

She hated Dongfang Mu most when he called her a deep-sea fish!

“Our Cui family won’t end. But it seems the Dongfang Family might with your generation because you are the worst of them all!”

Dongfang Mu was still smiling, seemingly not bothered at all, “Then let’s see which family will fall first. Honestly, I’m quite excited.”

“Goodbye.”

Having said that, Cui Shuqian rose and left.

Dongfang Mu yawned lazily, “Finally, she’s gone. She seriously disrupted my nap time.”

Qiao Yin suddenly asked him, “Young Master Mu, are the Cui and Lu families really about to form a marital alliance?”

Dongfang Mu smiled, “Of course. What’s wrong? Lu Lingche is getting married again, aren’t you happy?”

“No.”

Qiao Yin shook her head. She felt the person who should not be happy was not her but Lu Lingche’s other women, such as Lan Yuyi, or Qiao Lainan.

She was very curious because Madam Lu always valued her daughter-in-law’s family background. Cui Shuqian’s background was far superior to Lan Yuyi. Whom would she let Lu Lingche marry?

The Lu Family

At this moment, Madam Lu was having an argument with Lu Mingzhen.

“How come you suddenly decided to form a marital alliance with the Cui Family? Why didn’t you discuss such a big matter with me?”

“Wasn’t it already decided that Lingche would marry Yuyi? That Sheng Qing’s child will be born unequivocally in our home?”

“If Lingche marries the daughter of the Cui family, what about Yuyi? What about our grandchild? Have you really thought this through?”

Lu Mingzhen’s face was stern: “Since the child that Lan Yuyi is carrying is not Lingche’s, there’s no need for Lingche to marry her. After the child is born, our family can raise it. This is Sheng Qing’s child; we should tell the world its true parentage!”

“Do you think I don’t want to tell the world that this is Sheng Qing’s child? Yuyi wants to marry into the Lu family. She hopes she and the child can have a legit status.”

“What more does she want, really? Sheng Qing just died not long ago, and she started plotting against Lingche, lied to him that the child was his, threatened him into marriage. Does she genuinely love Sheng Qing and Lingche? She does not! She is only after the Lu family’s wealth!”

“I don’t care if she’s after anything. I’m ready to give her whatever she wants because if I don’t, she’s going to abort the baby!”

Madam Lu burst into tears: “I can’t let my son’s only heir vanish, Lu Mingzhen, I beg of you, pity me. I only have Sheng Qing’s child. If something happens, you need to keep something for me to remember.”

“Lingche has been distant from me since he was little, I don’t blame him. It’s true he isn’t my biological son, but I’ve raised him like my own. You and your child from another woman, I have done my duty, haven’t I?”

“Considering my many years of hard work, let Lingche marry Yuyi, give Yuyi a status, allow the child to be born peacefully.”

“Also, you should promise me to let this child succeed the Lu family!”

Lu Mingzhen stared coldly at her: “So you want the child to be the heir to the Lu family, which is why you don’t allow Lingche to marry anyone else.. Afraid that I might leave the family property to Lingche’s child and not Sheng Qing’s, aren’t you?”
