"But without that woman, my brother wouldn’t treat me ! It’s all because of that woman!"
Fang Li scolded angrily, her voice full of frustration: "That’s because you’re too stupid! If you don’t like that woman, you should scheme secretly. As long as you stay in the Lu Family, there are plenty of opportunities to ’cause accidents.’ But now that you’ve left and allowed her to be alone with your brother, given her seductive looks and clever tactics, it would be strange if she didn’t lure your brother in. If your brother truly falls for her, do you think we’ll have any good days ahead? By then, we’ll probably have to cater to her every whim."
Even though Lu Lu wasn’t the brightest, she cared deeply about money. She immediately asked nervously:
"But what should we do? My brother has already decided to move out with her."
Fang Li glared at her hatefully, her expression turning dark. Having a powerful daughter-in-law posed the biggest threat to her.
Lu Qing’s personality was cold, and even she couldn’t fully sway him. But she would never hand over control of the Lu Family’s internal matters to someone else!
"Arrange for Lin Han to join your brother’s company as soon as possible and let her become his secretary."
"Right, that’s a great idea! When it comes to spending time together, isn’t the secretary the one who’ll stick by my brother the longest?"
Fang Li sneered as Lin Han had both looks and family background. Perhaps she could even win over Lu Qing.
Qin Miaomiao naturally had no clue about her "good mother-in-law’s" plan—wanting to plant a ’confidante’ next to her husband.
However, regarding Lu Qing’s behavior tonight, she was quite satisfied. She hadn’t expected this husband to truly stand firm, not letting so-called respect for elders force her to endure any grievances.
Back when she was married to Chu Yunhao as Su Jin, she had suffered an overwhelming amount of mistreatment due to the tense mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.
Chu Yunhao came from a regular background, and his mother was merely a common housewife. From the beginning, she had made things difficult for Su Jin, and the situation only worsened over five years of marriage because she hadn’t gotten pregnant.
The things she said were not only hurtful, but despite living in Su Jin’s house, she found ways to be nitpicky and troublesome. For Chu Yunhao’s sake, Su Jin had held back repeatedly, only for the old woman’s behavior to grow increasingly outrageous.
What was worse was that every time Su Jin complained to Chu Yunhao, he would just urge her to endure it!
Remembering those humiliations made her anger start to bubble uncontrollably. How foolish had she been back then, to put up with those despicable people!
If it were her now, she’d only respond with four words: "To hell with that!"
"Thank you, Lu Qing."
Lu Qing was driving himself when he heard his wife thank him. His lips curved slightly as he replied in a calm tone:
"I’d much prefer hearing you call me ’husband.’"
She could say the word naturally in front of others, but with him, her lips seemed sealed with honey—it just wouldn’t come out.
"Um, well, the moonlight is lovely tonight. Ha-ha."
"There’s no moon tonight."
"Is that so? Look over there, a beauty! Fair skin, great looks, and long legs."
"It’s pitch black, and you can see a woman with fair skin and great looks?"
Lu Qing mercilessly mocked her, then added slowly: "Besides, do those women look better than me?"
Uh... definitely not, but can someone be this self-absorbed? How shameless, seriously!
"Lord Lu does look great. Should I snap a photo and post it on Weibo?"
Lu Qing glanced at her, his lips curling up: "Make sure it looks good."
Wow, she hadn’t expected Lord Lu to be so vain. She picked up her phone and snapped several pictures of his face. Honestly, no matter the angle, he was absurdly handsome—so much so that editing wasn’t even necessary. Every photo was stunning!
She posted one on her Weibo, captioning it: "Here’s your Lord Lu, as requested."
