Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 421: Let Them Go

“I don’t want to go either, but I don’t want to be told that everyone in my family doesn’t understand the rules.” Ye Shuyun wore a set of jewelry given to her by Yan Huan, dressed in a fitted cheongsam, which expressed her noble and elegant temperament. Her movements also fully displayed her grace and nobility.

A woman of the Ye family must be above others.

She could not say it, but she did not want to make it difficult for Lu Jin and his son. At least, she had to give Lu Jin some face. She was in a good mood today, and she felt much younger as if she has been moistened.

Lu Jin pinched her hand and laughed at her. The feelings between husband and wife was naturally difficult for others to understand.

Lu Yi opened the car door and let his parents in. They did not say anything about Yan Huan. Before Old Master Lu approves of her, Lu Yi do not intend to let Yan Huan appear in front of him.

Yan Huan was his weaknesses, his scales which cannot be moved and touched by others.

She was also his flesh and blood, and it hurt him when somebody touched her.

Of course, it was impossible for someone else to say, “Lu Jin, were you picked up from a garbage can by your mom?” In such a bad atmosphere, no one could say that.

Of course, whether if he were picked up or not, Lu Yi could only say that they let their imagination run a little too wild.

The car then stopped, another car had been parked at the gate. It was Lu Qin’s.

It was his new car, a sports car worth millions. It seemed that Lu Qin was not doing well in the showbiz right now. However, he wouldn’t save on keeping appearances. Of course, the Lu family will send him and his mother living expenses throughout the year. If used in the right way, they wouldn’t have to worry about eating and drinking for their lifetime. Of course, the premise was to use it correctly. But Lu Qin was wild and ambitious at heart. The ‘meager’ sum could not support his rich dreams.

No one knew what he would do to make up for the shortage in his funds.

Lu Yi always knew Lu Qin’s ambition. Lu Qin was not content with the status quo. However, the size of his ambition was his own business, and not his family’s responsibility. Otherwise, Lu Yi would surely pinch him to death.

Inside, Old Master Lu was dressed in a red Tang costume. His clothes were nice, but he looked angry, and his wide stare was locked toward the outside.

“Big brother and sister-in-law won’t be absent, will they?”

Qin Xiaoyue deliberately spoke in a low voice, but the people who should hear it all heard it, “People who want to be poor will be poor.”

It’ll be best if they didn’t come, but she has inquired about it. The big brother’s family has fallen out with the old man. They have not been here for nearly half a month, and she also heard that the old man hit Lu Yi.

Lu Yi, oh, isn’t he the most special existence in the Lu family, the eldest son and grandson of the Lu family, the excellent one that none could compare with?

How excellent was he that he was beat by the old master? Why wouldn’t he die? Then Lu Qin would be left, and all of the Lu family will be Lu Qin’s.

While she was still delighting in her imagination, she heard the door open outside, Lu Jin came in with his wife and son, and Qin Xiaoyue’s face turned green in an instant. The gnashing of teeth almost twisted her whole face.

Lu Jin was tall and powerful. He was over fifty years old. He was in his prime and he is a general. Ye Shuyun was several years older than Qin Xiaoyue, but she looked a lot younger, especially when she wore a set of jade ornaments around her neck.

What a partial old man! Qin Xiaoyue sneered in her heart.

Such valuable jewellery was given to the big brother’s family. Is it because the big brother crawled out of the old lady’s womb instead of being born in a concubine’s house?

Lu Yi was a grandson, but Lu Qin was not.

Ye Shuyun was a daughter-in-law, and Qin Xiaoyue was barely family.

All the good things are for the big wife’s family, but the second wife’s house was now left with an orphan and a widow. If Lu Jing was still alive, would they still live like this? Regardless, Old Master Lu gave a mediocre name to his son. Lu Jin was at least decent. But what was Lu Jing, was it derived from Lu Jin’s name?

Jing, the character meaning “well” in chinese is made up of two horizontal and two vertical lines.

Second wife, second in line.

Of course, her husband died too early.

Lu Jin’s family’s glow showed how ordinary Lu Qin and his mother was. The one on a pedestal may not feel much, but the one below would. It was the kind of envy and jealousy that bit into the bone.

Lu Jin walked in, when he was about to speak, Old Master Lu gave out a chilling hmph.

“Why are you even here? I thought your family is doing very well? Stop bothering this old man? Get out of here, I don’t want to see your family,” He slapped the table hard, and his eyes was obviously full of disgust.

Before Ye Shuyun could say anything, Lu Jin took her hand and shook his head.

“Get out of here, get out of here NOW!” Old Master Lu immediately picked up the cup on the table and threw it at them. It was his favorite set of Qing Dynasty bone china cups. There were not many cups to begin with, and he had already broken two so far. Seems like the rest of the cups won’t survive for too long. A set like this was very rare. There was no saving when a cup or two was lost, and no one would use an incomplete set.

Like how a chipped classy vase may still be used, but it was still a pain to look at everyday. A broken cup can also be used, but it might cut your mouth.

“Let’s go,” Lu Jin grasped Ye Shuyun’s hand, and the green veins on his forehead kept twitching.

Lu Yi looked at Old Master Lu and saw that there was not much emotion in his eyes. No resentment, no hatred. Nothing. Just like a dry well void of emotional fluctuations.

Lu Jin came to the door and suddenly stopped.

“Dad, do you know what people are saying about you?”

Old Master Lu held another cup in his hand and the muscles on his face twitched. When he was young, he was rebellious. When he turned old, he was the same. Time did not give him patience and kindness, but it gave him more and more arrogance and violence.

Lu Jin did not wait for Old Master Lu to answer, because he knew that he was listening, and that was enough.

“Dad, the people outside say that Miao family is your own son and I…” He paused, “I was picked up by you from the garbage can. You can freely scold my son about everything. You can decide everything for him, his marriage, his life, his whole life.”
