My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

“Okay.” Song Yajing nodded her head and she said, “Qingqing, I have thought it through. If Shaoming is really not around anymore, then we would not want Lu Corporation. But we will still be the biggest shareholders of Lu Corporation and would never be short of money. If you bring up Little Young Master Lu well, then I would not allow Little Young Master Lu to go on the road that Shaoming went on. We will allow him to fly freely, and in the future when you meet a better man, you can marry him then, and give Little Young Master Lu a complete home.”

“Mum.” Ning Qing came down from the bed and slowly kneeled down on the floor. She placed her small head on Song Yajing’s knees and painfully cried out, “Ma, what are you talking about?”

Song Yajing stretched out her hand to caress her hair and said, “Qingqing, Mum knows that you are a good child. Although you don’t express it on the surface, I know you have it hard inside your heart. Some people leave just like this; the person who was left behind alive is the one in suffering. No one knows about the pain of waiting. Over these seven days, every minute was a minute too late. This enormous Lu home has only mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bound with one another to survive here together, and this is the worst time we have experienced in our lives.

“It would be best if Shao Ming is still alive. If he…You also have to accept reality. Both you and Little Young Master Lu are still young; you both have your youth and plenty of time left. We should live well by ourselves.”

“Mum.” Ning Qing shook her head slowly and said, “If Shaoming…is really not around, then nothing would change. Both of you have Little Young Master Lu. I am your daughter. I will raise Little Young Master Lu well, and I will provide you a replacement for Shaoming. The Lu family would never go our separate ways.”

The Lu family would never go their separate ways as long Ning Qing was around.

Song Yajing’s tears that she had been holding back finally dripped down her face. She held Ning Qing’s small head and choked with tears while she said, “Silly child, how are you so silly?”

…

Yin Shuiling carried Little Young Master Lu, who was fast asleep in her arms, while she stood outside the room. She looked at the pair of in-laws hugging and crying out in pain, and she felt that her eyes were very very wet.

At this moment, the old butler standing beside her said, “Miss Yin, little Young Master has fallen asleep. You should go rest early together with him.”

Yin Shuiling withdrew her gaze and lifted her head to look above her. She had a smile on her face while she said, “Sure, I will go to bed. This Ning Qing is so great at stirring up my emotions, making me tear up like this.”

She carried Little Young Master Lu and returned to the room.

The old butler stood by the door and watched Ning Qing comforting Song Yajing and helping her lie down on the bed to sleep. Only after this, did Ning Qing walk out of the room.

“Madam.” The old butler politely bowed down.

“Shh.” Ning Qing made a sign signalling for him to hush, and she brought the old butler downstairs.

“Madam, on Old Master’s side…”

“Let Dad know, there are only seven days before the annual shareholder’s general meeting. I’ll take care of matters at home during this time; tell him to search for Shaoming with that peace of mind.”

Another seven days would be enough, and if Lu Shaoming is still alive, he will definitely return.

“Okay.” The old butler replied, then said, “Madam, those old elders will definitely pay a visit tomorrow morning. Now that Lady is sick, they will use it to create a big scene. The situation has been getting worse and worse, and it will explode once we touch it. Can I ask how Madam plans to face this problem?”

Ning Qing laughed lightly and said, “We will close the doors tomorrow, and we will not attend to guests.”

…

The next day, a few luxury sedans were parked in the grass field outside the Lu family villa.

The eight or nine elders had come for another visit, and they were walking in the direction of the villa.

At that moment, two servants came forward and said, “We apologize. Everyone, our Lady is not feeling well today. Madam has ordered that we will not be accepting guests today, please return home, everyone.”

“What?” 7th Grandpa exclaimed with a frown on his face. “Did your Madam really say that? The day of the seven day promise is here; could it be that your Madam wants to avoid this?”

“I apologize. I am unable to reply on the behalf of my Madam. Everyone, please return home.”

7th Grandpa shook his sleeves and left with a cold snort.

“7th Grandpa, what is this Ning Qing plotting? The day of the seven day promise has arrived; there is no news from Lu Shaoming’s side. She is actually not welcoming us here!”

With a cold laugh, 7th Grandpa said, “Why do you care what she is plotting? The chance of Lu Shaoming being alive now is very slim. By not welcoming us, did she think we would not be able to do anything to her? Start the plan now. We would ask all of Lu Corporation’s shareholders to come to a shareholder’s meeting in advance. We will have a swift battle, and we’ll usurp crown of the president of Lu Corporation in one move.”

“Yes, sir!” Everyone agreed excitedly.

…

In the villa, Ning Qing stood by the French windows to watch those luxury sedans leave. The butler said worriedly, “Madam, the act of rejecting the elders at the door today will definitely anger them. They will surely put their plans into action now.”

Ning Qing had her two slim arms wrapped around her chest. Her moist eyes were bright and pure as she said, “I did this to make them take action. Butler, order someone to monitor them closely, and once they take action, immediately report it to me.”

“Yes, Madam.”

…

One day later, the butler searched for Ning Qing. “Madam, those elders are gathered at the Lu Corporation today. They want to commence a secret shareholder’s meeting.”

Ning Qing laughed coldly and said, “They have such speed? Are they actually holding the shareholder’s meeting in advance? My father is the largest shareholder of the Lu Corporation. Are they banking on the fact that my father is not in the country to officially force him out of his position?”

The butler’s facial expression was grave as he said, “Madam, what should we do now then? We actually planned on having more time to Old Master and Young Master, but now, it looks like that is not possible.”

“Not possible? How could it be?” Ning Qing put on her tight-fitting, black wool coat. She was calm and elegant as she ordered, “Butler, prepare the car. I want to go to the Lu Corporation.”

The butler was taken aback and said, “Madam, are you going alone? Those people are devils, they are not something that you can take on. Now that Old Master is not at home and Lady is feeling unwell, how would you go alone to prevent them from holding a shareholder’s meeting? They have come prepared; they will not stop if they do not get what they want…”

“Butler, don’t worry. Since I am going there, I will act with confidence. Listen to me.”

The butler looked at Ning Qing’s elegant expression and nodded his head at last. “Okay. When Old Master left, he did pass the Lu family to Madam. Whether we win or lose would be dependent on this move; we will look to Madam for instructions.”

“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head firmly.

…

When she went downstairs to the living room, Ning Qing took Little Young Master Lu into her arms from Yin Shuiling. “Little Young Master Lu, is it okay if Mama takes you somewhere today?”

Yin Shuiling spun around and held Little Young Master Lu tight in her arms. She frowned at Ning Qing and said, “Little Young Master Lu asks you, ‘Mama, where are you bringing me to?’”

Ning Qing looked at her good friend. They had grown up together. Some things were understood with one glance.

“Shuiling…”

“There is no use in calling my name unless I can tag along. Stop it; don’t drag things out. Let’s go together. I will carry Little Young Master Lu for you.” Yin Shuiling carried a small backpack.

Ning Qing: “…”

At this moment, Song Yajing watched them from the top of the stairs. “Qingqing, Miss Yin, are you guys going out? You are even bringing Little Young Master Lu along?”

“That’s right, Aunt. Ning Qing and I are bringing Little Young Master Lu to shop around. Don’t worry, Aunt, I will wrap Little Young Master Lu up tight,” Yin Shuiling replied cheekily.

Song Yajing’s condition has gotten worse over these two days. Her face was pale and she could not muster any energy. Ning Qing did not want her to worry. “Ma, you should have more bedrest. Shuiling and I will return quickly,” she said with a smile.

“Okay, you two be careful on your way out,” Song Yajing reminded them.

Ning Qing and Yin Shuiling went out and boarded the luxury car. Ning Qing looked at Yin Shuiling, shook her head helplessly, and said, “Shuiling, we will lay down the conditions first. I am going to Lu Corporation now. You only need to worry about carrying Little Young Master Lu and stand behind me. You are not allowed to step in no matter what I do.”

“I got it, I will not spoil your plans.” As Yin Shuiling spoke, she kissed Little Young Master Lu’s small hands, and with a gentle voice, she said, “Little Young Master Lu, you should ask Mama to protect herself well. Little Young Master Lu will be for me to protect. This is not such a big matter; isn’t she just going to Lu Corporation to force those devils out? We will accompany Mama. We will have powerful aura like this!”

Ning Qing hugged Yin Shuiling’s shoulders and said, “Shuiling, it is great to have you around.”

Yin Shuiling stretched out her hand to push her away. “Stop it, don’t be emotional with me here.”

The two good friends broke out into laughter.

…

Lu Corporation

The shareholders of the Lu Corporation were all gathered inside the VIP meeting room. 7th Grandpa was sitting at the head of the table and said, “Everyone, the current president of Lu Corporation, Lu Shaoming, has been involved in a plane crash. The window of rescue has passed. His chances of survival are slim. Lu Corporation cannot continue on without a master. In order to maintain the interests of the shareholders, we will vote to select the new president now.”

There were shareholders loyal to that branch of the Lu family among those present. But it was a pity that Lu Shaoming was probably dead. Selecting the next president was already on the horizon. They were moved due to their own interests, and their loyalty to the family was wavering.

“Okay, we will all listen to 7th Grandpa; we will start the voting now.”

7th Grandpa nodded his head in satisfaction.

Everyone took up their pens and put their preferred candidate on the ballot.

Bang! At this moment, the big doors of the meeting room were pushed open.

Everyone turned around to look. The bodyguards cleared the path, and Ning Qing, who was dressed in a thin black wool coat, appeared in front of those present. Her long coat covered her kneecaps, and her tiny waist was accentuated by a metal belt. Her outfit was matched with a pair of black leather high heeled boots. Her hair was tied into a bun, and she looked youthful and experienced.

7th Grandpa’s facial expression changed dramatically, and he said, “Ning Qing, why are you here?”

This girl had foiled their plans numerous times. They could not ignore her abilities, and there was a glow in 7th Grandpa’s eyes.

Ning Qing took a step and walked forward. She straightened her body and her beautiful back was extremely straight. “7th Grandpa, look at how you are speaking now. The Lu family is the largest shareholder of the Lu Corporation, my husband Lu Shaoming is the president of the Lu Corporation now. This entire Lu Corporation belongs to the Lu family. I’m walking through the doors of my home; why is 7th Grandpa confused about that?”

She was a gal with a glib tongue.

Ning Qing looked towards everyone present and asked curiously, “Everyone, what you all gathered here today for? What are you all writing with the pens in your hands?”

Although Ning Qing had a smile on her face, her eyes were extremely cold as she stared at everyone present on the scene one by one. Everyone’s scalp turned numb. They did not think that this little 21 year old gal would not be less intimidating than Lu Shaoming!

Everyone felt guilty, and the room broke out into awkward laughter.

At this moment, the old butler softly said, “Madam, I think that these people are probably holding a shareholder’s meeting now.”

“Shareholder’s meeting?” Ning Qing said in surprise. “Isn’t the shareholder’s meeting not supposed to be for another six days? How come it was pushed forward? I am the biggest shareholder of the Lu Corporation. Nobody informed me of this. Why are you guys being so secretive? Could it be that you are doing something that cannot see the light of the day?”

Everyone’s facial expression froze, and they did not dare lift their gaze.

7th Grandpa coughed and said, “Ning Qing, since you are here now, let us speak openly. Shaoming is probably dead by now. The Lu Corporation needs a new leader; we cannot wait any longer, and we are holding a shareholder’s meeting to select the new President.”
