Chapter 127 : Rich Daughter

Mrs. Lu’s questions left Lu Yunyao at a loss for words.

She tilted her head and, after a moment of hesitation, answered:

“He seems to work at a company. This year… he’s almost thirty.”

Mrs. Lu’s heart sank again.

He’s already that old! And he’s just an ordinary company employee!

How could he be worthy of their precious daughter?

Lu Feng tried to calm Mrs. Lu and continued asking “What does he look like? He’s not ugly, is he?”

This question was even harder for Lu Yunyao to answer.

She hesitated for a long time and finally said quietly:

“Although the Mr. isn’t good-looking, he has a kind heart.”

Mrs. Lu felt like she might faint from shock.

How could their Yaoyao marry such an old, unaccomplished, and unattractive man?

Lu Yunbai’s expression was equally difficult to describe.

But the little girl didn’t notice their emotions and continued to speak well of that man.

“Really, Mom and Dad, you should trust my judgment. The Mr. spent all his savings on my eye surgery, and that’s why we got married. He takes good care of me and respects my opinions.”

Although sometimes he could be a bit overbearing.

But nobody is perfect, everyone has flaws, right?

Lu Yunyao felt that meeting the mr had already used up all her luck.

…

Lu Yunbai drove his sister home.

After they left, Mrs. Lu kept pounding her chest, her anger barely contained.

Lu Yunxiang added fuel to the fire. “Mom, don’t be angry with my sister. She was raised in the Mu family, and she’s been influenced by them. Her horizons are limited, and she’s easily swayed by a little kindness from others. It’s not really her fault.”

“I’m not blaming Yaoyao, I would never blame her. I just dislike this son-in-law.”

Although she hadn’t met him yet, Mrs. Lu’s impression of him was already at its lowest!

“There’s an old saying: better to dismantle ten temples than to destroy a marriage. Mom, this is my sister’s choice. We shouldn’t interfere, or she might end up resenting us.”

Mrs. Lu’s heart sank.

“Will Yaoyao really hate us…”

“That’s hard to say. You saw the ‘White Porridge Girl’ recently, they were so in love. If we forcibly separate Yaoyao and her husband, she might really resent you.”

Mrs. Lu sighed, feeling troubled.

Lu Yunxiang, on the other hand, was thrilled, practically wanting to cheer out loud.

The worse that wretched girl’s life turned out, the happier she was!

Hearing that she had married an incapable, old, and ugly man, Lu Yunxiang felt immensely satisfied!

It would be even better if that girl and her ugly husband got along well, used the Lu family’s resources to support their in-laws, and eventually made the Lu family disillusioned with her romantic choices.

Then, the Lu family would be left with only her as the daughter!

“Yunxiang, you look quite happy?” Lu Feng asked.

Lu Yunxiang quickly composed her expression.

“It’s just that we’ve finally found my sister. I’m thinking of bringing her out more, introducing her to friends, and broadening her horizons.”

Lu Feng was very pleased.

“It’s great that you’re thinking this way. After the family reunion banquet, make sure Yaoyao meets more people.”

“Okay, Dad,” Lu Yunxiang replied.

…

In the master bedroom of the Lu house.

Mrs. Lu tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

“No! I can’t let Yaoyao jump into the fire.”

“What are you planning to do?”

“Make them divorce! I’ll find a better match for Yaoyao, at least someone who is handsome, wealthy, and successful!”

Lu Feng strongly disagreed.

“No, Yaoyao isn’t very familiar with us yet. If we forcefully interfere in her matters, it will only make her more resistant towards us.”

In Yaoyao’s mind, her husband had been with her longer than her parents. They had just reunited, and Yaoyao’s feelings for them were still not deep enough.

“Are we supposed to just watch Yaoyao marry such an ordinary person?”

“What’s wrong with being ordinary? Who wasn’t ordinary at the start, but worked hard to get where they are?”

Mrs. Lu pushed him slightly, looking a bit angry.

“Do you want Yaoyao to spend her whole life with someone like that?”

“Didn’t Yaoyao say? Her husband spent his entire savings on her eye surgery. How many men in this world are so devoted and righteous?”

Mrs. Lu took this into account and said, “You have a point.”

“Besides, I don’t think Yaoyao is just infatuated. Though she is gentle and kind, she is also perceptive and intelligent. If that man were truly worthless, Yaoyao wouldn’t defend him so fiercely.”

“So, what are you suggesting…”

“I want to respect Yaoyao’s choice. If someday that man treats her badly, we can step in then. It won’t be too late.”

“But what if it’s too late by then?” Mrs. Lu expressed her concern.

“Too late? Yaoyao is my daughter, and she’s so beautiful. Even if she gets divorced, she won’t have trouble finding another good match!”

Mrs. Lu thought about it and seemed to agree with this reasoning.

Her daughter is so outstanding; how could she not find another excellent partner?

Even if she doesn’t find one, they can support their daughter for a lifetime!

…

Mu Qianqian lay in bed, contemplating.

Was she Mu Qianqian now or Lu Yunyao?

And overnight, she had gone from a homeless poor girl to the lost daughter of a wealthy family.

This massive change made it hard for her to fall asleep.

Mu Qianqian quietly opened the door to the guest room and heard voices in the living room.

Was Mr. still awake?

She tiptoed over.

Fu Sichan’s voice came, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

Mu Qianqian jolted and straightened up.

“But Mr., you’re still awake too.”

“I have work to handle. You’re still growing, so you shouldn’t stay up late. Go back to sleep.”

Mu Qianqian pouted.

Mr. is really inconsistent.

He’s strict about her health, but he often forgets to eat because he’s so busy.

“Mr. actually, I need to tell you something.”

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

Mu Qianqian sat down beside him and shook his arm.

“No, if I don’t tell you tonight, I won’t be able to sleep.”

Her mind was a jumble, and only the Mr. could calm her.

Fu Sichan vaguely guessed what she wanted to say.

“Is what you want to tell me related to the Lu family?”

“How did you know, Mr?”

“Your thoughts are written all over your face.”

Mu Qianqian touched her own face, feeling smooth, and found nothing there.

Mr. was teasing her again!

“Mr. I’m serious. Don’t be too surprised.”

“Go ahead.”

Mu Qianqian cleared her throat dramatically, deliberately creating a sense of anticipation.

“Ahem,Mr. you’re really lucky.”

Fu Sichan looked puzzled. “Lucky in what way?”

Mu Qianqian curved her lips and said in a calm yet playful tone.

“You might be marrying into a wealthy family. You’re going to get rich.”

Fu Sichan’s expression was a bit complex.

After a moment, he took Mu Qianqian’s hand and said with a smile in his voice, “So, you mean I might be marrying a rich woman?”
