Upon learning about her daughter’s ordeal, Lu Shenglin could not simply stand by and ignore it.
After some thought, she decided to discuss it with him.
Knowing her mother’s gentle nature, Gu Qianqian suggested going with her, but after some consideration, Lu Shenglin left her alone in the room.
Even though he was her elder brother, it was quite late, so Lu Shenglin didn’t go to his room to look for him, but instead, summoned him over the phone to meet her in the garden.
“Big brother, that Master Fu Jingchen is of bad character, do you know?
He even dared to make moves on Qianqian in the washroom…”
As if he already knew what she was going to say, Lu Zhandong impatiently interrupted her: “They are, after all, engaged.
What is the problem?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Shenglin paused before responding: “You…
Did you already know that Fu Jingchen is that kind of man?”
“If he wasn’t that kind of man, do you think, he’d be interested in the girl you brought back from the countryside?”
Stung by his question, Lu Shenglin’s ears turned red, and she gritted her teeth, “I returned…
not to sell my daughter…”
“Is she your daughter?”
I beg you, it can’t be that kind of person!
That would ruin her life!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhandong responded sternly: “Didn’t I give you a choice?
It was you who wanted to bring her back and it was you who decided to stay.”
Yes, it was all her own decisions, but she did not expect that things would go downhill this far.
One Lu Yebai was already giving her a tough time, and now…
“Big Brother, with the Lu family’s background, couldn’t we find a family of better standing?
Why does Qianqian have to engage that kind of man?”
“Because he is the chosen son from an eminent family.”
Lu Zhandong’s blunt reason was akin to slapping Lu Shenglin across the face.
Although she had been expelled from the family for nearly twenty years, she was very clear that being born into such a wealthy family, children’s marriages were always used for trade.
An heir of an eminent family would be a good match by all means, but thinking about Fu Jingchen’s character, Lu Shenglin simply couldn’t relent.
Seeing her dilemma, Lu Zhandong snorted coldly, “Control yourself, if your mouth isn’t to persuade that girl to accept this, then, I may have to hand over Lu Xinbai to him instead.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Shenglin recoiled as though stabbed, begging immediately: “No!
You can’t let Xinbai marry that kind of man…”
“Then persuade your good daughter and have her willingly accept this man.”
Her entire strength seemed to be drained, and she collapsed on the ground…
After taking a bath, her mother was still not back.
Gu Qianqian was lying in her rigid wooden bed, tossing and turning but unable to sleep.
Because the moment she closed her eyes, the image of Lu Yebai filled her mind…
She still remembered the day they first met.
She just learned to ride a bicycle and out of a slip, she crashed straight into a boy walking towards her.
She remembered how pale her face was at the moment, fearing that the boy would lose his temper and hit her.
But when she timidly raised her face, what she saw was Lu Yebai’s dark and bright eyes.
He looked good when he smiled, his eyes curving like a crescent moon on a night sky.
At 19, Gu Qianqian was completely smitten…
