Other then Fu Lan, even Fu Shuang was a bit surprised by this sudden proposal but then Xu Mey's words rang in his mind, 'You have to agree with whatever my dad suggests.' He squinted his eyes while rubbing his chin in a thoughtful manner. 'What the hell are you trying to achieve with this marriage, Xiao Mey?' But since he couldn't read Xu Mey's mind, he could only agree with whatever she wants.
Before Xu Cheng could reply to Fu Lan, Fu Shuang spoke up in his favor saying, "I think Uncle Cheng's suggestion is the most reasonable one."
Fu Lan stared at him with her mouth agape. "Shuang! How can you even say that?"
Fu Shuang put on act of being a humble and obedient nephew as he said, "Aunt, I'm only saying this because if we annul the marriage between Lu Ge and Jun Li Na, and instead of them announce to the world that Xu Liqing is Lu Ge's wife then none of us has to be implicated in this mess at all."
Everyone in the hall began to whisper as they thought that this suggestion was actually good. If it was proven that Lu Ge and Xu Liqing are actually married then no-one will have any basis for this scandal.
As he noticed that everyone's opinion was swaying towards his suggestion, Fu Shuang added, "If there will be no scandal then there will be no losses in our business as well."
"I agree with this suggestion." Grandfather Xu started and turned to look at Lu Ge's parents completely disregarding Fu Lan's sharp gaze. "Lu Family should get Lu Ge to get a divorce. We'll be holding the wedding for Xu Liqing and Lu Ge in the coming week."
"Father!" Fu Lan tried to speak up but Grandfather Xu's stumped his cane on the floor as he glared at her.
"No-one is allowed to object here. Fu Lan, instead of talking uselessly here, you should go and discipline your precious daughter!" Fu Lan's face contorted as she heard Grandfather Xu's sneer.
Naturally, Lu Family was glad about this outcome. Leaving Jun family and becoming a relative of the Xu family was a huge deal. After all, Xu Family was second to none in the City Star.
Fu Lan was the only one who wasn't happy with this outcome at all. As for the Jun family, when grandmother Jun received that video from an unknown source, she'd decided to get her granddaughter's freedom at any cost.
She was content and calm because, in the packet along with a video, a message was written that read,
"Old Mistress, Jun!
I know after watching the video, you'd most definitely want to murder Lu Ge with your own hands. And I also know that with your background you are very much capable of doing so. But, I'd like you to show some restraint and let me handle this for now. Killing him won't be as painful as much I want him to suffer."
There was no name or address attached with the packet but somehow reading those words, grandmother Jun wanted to believe in them. And if she didn't see a satisfactory result then it's never too late for her to cut that Lu Ge into pieces for humiliating her precious little girl.
"Shuang!" Grandmother Jun called Fu Shuang and asked, "Have you seen Jun Li Na? I'm really worried about her." Her old wrinkly face was brimming with anxiousness.
"Grandmother Jun, I haven't seen her since last night but I do know that she's safe. Don't worry about her." Grandmother Jun relaxed after his reassurance. "Oh, right. Where did you get that video from?" Fu Shuang questioned with curiosity.
"I just received it from an unknown source right before I was leaving the house." She shook her head lightly as she added, "If not for that video, I would have never known the way that bastard was treating my granddaughter."
After a moment of silence, she said, "Shuang, I'm not understanding why you're letting that shameless Lu family still have any relation with us? Isn't it better that we throw them out now? I was quiet until now because Jun Li Na liked that bastard otherwise why would I let her get married into Lu Family which doesn't even come in our social circle." She was speaking with contempt and disdain without hesitation. She was never fond of Lu family but she had to succumb to her granddaughter's wishes back then.
Fu Shuang smirked and shook his head. "Grandmother, patience is the key. Lu family will get what they deserve."
Grandmother Jun narrowed her eyes at him. "Are you gonna let your precious cousin Xu Liqing be a part of Lu family?"
Fu Shuang scoffed. "Can you forgive her for trampling all over Jun Li Na's pride?" Grandmother Jun was taken aback but she still managed to shook her head. "Neither can I. We should always remember that our evil intentions will eventually catch up to us."
Seeing his resolute and fuming look, grandmother Jun didn't question him any further. Xu Liqing had nothing to do with her and neither had she ever liked that spoiled brat.
After a while, grandfather Xu called Xu Cheng and Fu Shuang to his study.
"What are you both up to?" He straight got to the point.
Fu Shuang stared at Xu Cheng but didn't say a word.
"Father, let's just say that your most favourite granddaughter wants this." Xu Cheng replied honestly.
Grandfather Xu straightened up and stared at his son. "How is my Xiao Mey involved in all this?"
"You know better than us." Fu Shuang muttered under his breath but grandfather Xu had heard him.
"Shuang, you better keep your mouth in check. If I know stuff that means I can make sure that my granddaughter serves you in the best way possible." Fu Shuang felt like crying at this blatant threat. He simply meant that he would make Xu Mey serve him as she does with her enemies.
Inwardly he thought, 'And here I was thinking, how did Xu Mey have a violent nature? So, it's all your fault grandfather Xu!'
Just because grandfather Xu mostly stayed out of the country, it didn't mean that he wasn't close to Xu Mey. For him, Xu Mey was the only granddaughter he had.
His son had hidden a lot from him in these years but now, grandfather Xu didn't want anyone to wrong Xu Mey. He took this charge the moment he planned Xu Mey's marriage.
Naturally, Xu Mey reciprocated his feelings by loving him the most.
