Lu Qingzhuo waved Pang Zhong off and turned his wheelchair to walk to the sofa. He greeted He Yaobai first.
âMr. He.â
âQingzhuo, are you determined to be estranged from us?â He Yaobai said with a faint smile, âAlthough our He and Lu families donât 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.â
âBrother Yaobai, this is my fault. I apologize to you,â Lu Qingzhuo said.
âBrother, I think Lu Qingzhuoâs heart has been stolen by the little vixen called He Youran,â He Yaoxing snorted, âWe came to visit him, but he deliberately delayed our meeting time and made us wait downstairs. Those who donât know better would think that our He family is trying to climb the Lu familyâs ladder!â
Her words were sharp and unreasonable. Her words caused old madam Lu and Pang Zhongâs expressions to change instantly.
Old madam Lu did not like He Yaoxingâs arrogant and domineering personality to begin with. It was said that one personâs behavior toward another represented her opinion of that person. With He Yaoxingâs attitude of looking down on others, it was enough to know how disrespectful the He family of imperial capital was towards the Lu family!
In 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!
Pang 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!
When he thought about how He Yaoxing would become the young madam of the Lu family, he felt uncomfortable!
Compared 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 Yaoxingâs!
âMiss He, my legs are inconvenient. I definitely didnât mean to keep you waiting.â Lu Qingzhuoâs face was still amiable. âIf I had known that brother Yaobai and you were coming, I would have prepared in advance.â
What he meant was that they had brought it upon themselves to be snubbed for not coming with a letter of invitation.
He Yaoxing naturally understood what he meant. Her palm, which was painted with bright red nails, slammed angrily on the coffee table with a bang.
âAre you saying that we shouldnât have come?â He Yaoxing pointed at Lu Qingzhuoâs nose, he scolded, âLu Qingzhuo! Donât 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? !â
âYouran isnât my mistress, sheâs my wife. Shouxin isnât a bastard either. Heâs my son with Youran.â Hearing He Yaoxing insult He Youran and He Shouxin like this, the warm smile on Lu Qingzhuoâs face disappeared, his expression also became cold and stern.
âMr. Lu, have you forgotten about the engagement between the Lu family and the He Family?â He Yaoxing scoffed. âYou already have a wife before Iâve even married you? Can I take it that the Lu family is deliberately using this matter to humiliate the He family? !â
âEngagement?â Lu Qingzhu muttered these two words playfully. He didnât want to talk nonsense with them anymore.
Since they had already fallen out, it was better to put everything on the table.
âIf 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?â
