Novel Bin Chapter 84 - Showdown
Chapter 84: Showdown
He Yaoxing’s expression changed.
Her identity was the reverse scale on her body that could not be touched!
This identity made it impossible for her to be the daughter of the He family in a proper manner. She could enjoy everything in the He family in peace. It was also impossible for her to stand by He Yaobai’s side in a proper manner!
“I respect the wishes of the elders of the Lu and He families and am willing to enter into a marriage alliance with the He family. However, the prerequisite is that the He family has to pay a fair amount of sincerity. However, the current person in charge of the He family, old master He, has no children, yet you’re forcing a woman from an unknown background to be my wife. Even if you give her the He surname, does that mean she’s a member of the He family? Does the He family’s genealogy acknowledge her?”
These words were spoken by Lu Qingzhuo to He Yaobai.
He Yaobai crossed his fingers, and he wasn’t flustered by being exposed. He said slowly,
“Qingzhuo, the engagement between the He and Lu families was set in stone a long time ago. When something happened to your Lu family, the He family helped out because you were willing to continue to acknowledge the existence of the engagement. At that time, you did not raise any objections to Yaoxing’s identity. Don’t tell me that now that you have your own son, you want to abandon the contract?”
Lu Qingzhuo laughed coldly.
After his accident, they were well aware of how many things the He family had caused during the chaos.
However, at that time, only old madam Lu was supporting the entire Lu family. They had no choice but to acquiesce to the existence of the marriage contract.
He originally thought that his life would be like this. In his heart, it didn’t really make any difference who would become Mrs. Lu.
However, He Yaobai was ambitious. He didn’t want to work together like their ancestors did. Instead, he wanted to annex the Lu family and completely become the number one family in China.
Such ambition had long aroused his vigilance. That was why he gave He Yaobai such cold treatment.
Moreover, He Youran had appeared.
He had a better plan than “Working together” with the He family. Naturally, he did not want to continue being subjugated by the He family in imperial capital.
“Brother Yaobai, the Lu family is at fault, but the He family is not entirely right. Why don’t we just forget about the engagement?” Lu Qingzhuo suggested kindly, “However, this matter is detrimental to Miss Wen Cheng’s reputation. How about this? As long as I can do it, I’m willing to compensate the He family and Miss Wen Cheng.”
“How can you just forget about a marriage?” He Yaobai said coldly.
“Yaobai, if you still see me as an elder, listen to me.”
At this moment, old madam Lu spoke.
“You’re also a child of the He family. Although you’re not Yousi’s biological son, since you’re under his name, I’ll treat you as his son. The Lu and He families have been in contact for a hundred years and have always been harmonious. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship. I’m also willing to see the Lu and He families continue to be in-laws.”
Old Madam Lu spoke slowly. She seemed to have thought of the past, and there was a momentary emptiness in her eyes.
“But you also know the situation of our Lu family. Qingzhuo’s leg is injured, and he may never be able to stand up again in this lifetime. You should have heard about his private part. As for my little grandson, Qingliu, he has been lying in bed since he was born, and he is unable to fulfill his brother’s marriage contract. Yaoxing is a good child. Although she is not the He family’s biological child, she still has unlimited possibilities in her future. Why do you have to let such a good child come to our Lu family to suffer?”
Old Lady Lu said these words from the bottom of her heart, even Lu Qingzhuo’s hidden disease was not taboo.
Although, with the imperial capital He family’s ability, perhaps they have long been discovered what they had been hiding deliberately.
