nAs the saying goes, first you salute, then you fight.

n

nLu Qingzhuo waved Pang Zhong off and turned his wheelchair to walk to the sofa. He greeted He Yaobai first.

n

n“Mr. He.”

n

n“Qingzhuo, are you determined to be estranged from us?” He Yaobai said with a faint smile, “Although our He and Lu families don’t interact much, we are still in-laws that the elders of both sides acknowledge. In the past, you would call me brother Yaobai, but today, you are calling me Mr. He.”

n

n“Brother Yaobai, this is my fault. I apologize to you,” Lu Qingzhuo said.

n

n“Brother, I think Lu Qingzhuo’s heart has been stolen by the little vixen called He Youran,” He Yaoxing snorted, “We came to visit him, but he deliberately delayed our meeting time and made us wait downstairs. Those who don’t know better would think that our He family is trying to climb the Lu family’s ladder!”

n

nHer words were sharp and unreasonable. Her words caused old madam Lu and Pang Zhong’s expressions to change instantly.

n

nOld madam Lu did not like He Yaoxing’s arrogant and domineering personality to begin with. It was said that one person’s behavior toward another represented her opinion of that person. With He Yaoxing’s attitude of looking down on others, it was enough to know how disrespectful the He family of imperial capital was towards the Lu family!

n

nIn the past five years, although the Lu family was in hardship, they were still the second most famous family in the imperial capital. It would not be so easy for the He family to annex the Lu family!

n

nPang Zhong, on the other hand, was standing up for his master. The moment the He family came to visit, he went upstairs in time to inform Lu Qingzhuo. Everyone knew that Lu Qingzhuo was immobile, but He Yaoxing still used this matter as an example. The contempt in her words was obvious. She had no respect for his master at all!

n

nWhen he thought about how He Yaoxing would become the young madam of the Lu family, he felt uncomfortable!

n

nCompared to He Yaoxing, He Youran was like an angel. She was beautiful, kind, and good at medicine. Even if she had an unbearable past and a son, his acceptance of He Youran was higher than He Yaoxing’s!

n

n“Miss He, my legs are inconvenient. I definitely didn’t mean to keep you waiting.” Lu Qingzhuo’s face was still amiable. “If I had known that brother Yaobai and you were coming, I would have prepared in advance.”

n

nWhat he meant was that they had brought it upon themselves to be snubbed for not coming with a letter of invitation.

n

nHe Yaoxing naturally understood what he meant. Her palm, which was painted with bright red nails, slammed angrily on the coffee table with a bang.

n

n“Are you saying that we shouldn’t have come?” He Yaoxing pointed at Lu Qingzhuo’s nose, he scolded, “Lu Qingzhuo! Don’t talk change the topic! You know very well why we are here today. The engagement is still in place, but you are keeping a mistress outside and even have a little bastard. I want to ask, what does the Lu family intend to do? !”

n

n“Youran isn’t my mistress, she’s my wife. Shouxin isn’t a bastard either. He’s my son with Youran.” Hearing He Yaoxing insult He Youran and He Shouxin like this, the warm smile on Lu Qingzhuo’s face disappeared, his expression also became cold and stern.

n

n“Mr. Lu, have you forgotten about the engagement between the Lu family and the He Family?” He Yaoxing scoffed. “You already have a wife before I’ve even married you? Can I take it that the Lu family is deliberately using this matter to humiliate the He family? !”

n

n“Engagement?” Lu Qingzhu muttered these two words playfully. He didn’t want to talk nonsense with them anymore.

n

nSince they had already fallen out, it was better to put everything on the table.

n

n“If I remember correctly, the content of the engagement between the Lu family and the He family is the legitimate son and daughter of the other family. I would like to ask, Miss Wen Cheng, whose daughter are you?”
