Chapter 544 - 542: You’re still fierce to Aunt
Lu Qingyuan knew full well that Jiang and Huai’s words implied more than they seemed. Previously, when the marriage proposal was made, the Tu Family first refused, and now they’ve agreed. Although the Jiang Family isn’t a prestigious family, they’d naturally not be willing to be toyed with like this.
By making his younger brother look worthless, he probably wants to avoid this marriage alliance.
So be it. Tu Yingying, indulged by Tu Meijiao, is indeed worthless. She barely squeezed into the social circles of New City, but her reputation is tarnished. No respectable family would want her, would they?
Back then, he used his own influence to connect with the Jiang Family, thinking that since the Jiang Family now only had a brother and sister, they would be isolated and agree.
But Tu Meijiao and Tu Yingying despised it. Now, it’s their turn to be despised, isn’t it?
Previously, the Jiang Family wouldn’t have had any thoughts because of his influence. However, the situation is different now!
When Jiang and Huai put it bluntly, Lu Qingyuan was the first to speak, "The reason I invited you over today is just because Young Master Jiang saved my daughter-in-law. Besides, Young Master Jiang is young and accomplished, not someone just anyone could match. Moreover, Young Master Jiang is still young, there’s no urgency to discuss marriage just yet."
With a few words, Lu Qingyuan completely distanced himself from the matter of marriage, speaking both reasonably and logically. Jiang and Huai paused for a moment, trying to discern whether he was dissatisfied with her initial reluctance to the marriage or if he genuinely shared the same thoughts.
Seeing Lu Qingyuan smiling kindly all the time left her even more uncertain. She had met many people in the business world, but compared to Lu Qingyuan, they were nothing to speak of!
As she was momentarily speechless, Lu Qingyuan suddenly picked up the teapot and reached out to pour her some wine. He wasn’t imposing at all, but Jiang and Huai were surprised enough to quickly hold her teacup with both hands to receive it.
Instantly understanding that Lu Qingyuan meant the latter, she bowed her head with a smile, presenting herself as a humble junior, "Uncle Lu is so courteous; it would be rude of me to refuse. Helping each other as classmates is natural, yet you support and entertain us, truly embodying the style of a great family!" She glanced at Ji Niandong, "It also shows that Mrs. Lu is a blessed person; of course, in this world, there are always people who deserve such happiness."
She spoke with a smile, praising the Lu Family all over. Not only did it show that the Lu Family was truly a great lineage, but also that they were harmonious, in-laws caring for their daughter-in-law, a husband loving his wife, truly a model family!
Upon being mentioned, Ji Niandong smiled to show her politeness!
Li Siru, due to having had half of her stomach removed, was still on a liquid diet. The kitchen had specially prepared a portion for her, but after a few bites, she couldn’t eat any more.
Seeing this, Lu Beiyao said, "This is the exact amount I instructed the kitchen to prepare. You need to finish it all."
He instructed the kitchen?
Li Siru gave him a glance, feeling slightly displeased, "I’ve been eating porridge every day recently, I’m tired of it."
"Then you shouldn’t have been so careless with your meals initially, getting a stomach condition and still drinking all the time, leading to having half of your stomach removed. Now you just have to obediently drink your porridge." Lu Beiyao frowned, his voice carrying a tone of reproach and severity.
Though the words were harsh, there was undeniable concern in them.
Li Siru pursed her lips, picked up the spoon again, and swallowed a bite at a time, seemingly indeed finding it hard to eat.
Tu Meijiao rolled her eyes at her but said nothing.
Lu Sinian, unable to hold back, said, "Uncle, you’re still scolding Auntie."
"Children don’t understand; keep quiet." Ji Niandong whispered in his ear, "Eat obediently."
"Ugh~" Lu Sinian said with some disdain, "Sister Tongtong, I’m not a child for you to speak to me like that."
