Chapter 382: Chapter 380 Going to the Lu Family 2_1 Chapter 382: Chapter 380 Going to the Lu Family 2_1 With that, Xia Ningxing dashed out to call Mrs. Xia.
Now that she and Lu Tingli were officially dating, and Lu Tingli had been presenting gifts to her family during the holidays, he was practically a son-in-law-in-waiting, so it wouldn’t be a problem for her to stay at his place for a few days.
Mrs. Xia agreed imdiately, but…
“Bao’er, I still stand by what I’ve said before, you mustn’t let a man take advantage before marriage, do you understand? I’m saying this for your own good. After all, you’re still a university student, and having a child too soon would be detrintal to your acting career,” Mrs. Xia insisted.
Even through the phone, Xia Ningxing could feel Mrs. Xia’s earnest concern.
“Mom, don’t worry,” Xia Ningxing said, touching her nose awkwardly.
After she hung up the phone and turned around to enter the sick room, she saw that Sir Lu had already packed his belongings.
“That was quick,” Xia Ningxing said, taken aback.
Sir Lu laughed, “I can’t wait!”
The Lu Family owned several properties in Capital City, with the Lu Family Old Mansion located in a courtyard house near the suburbs.
This was the heritage left by the Lu Family ancestors.
Upon getting out of the car and entering the courtyard house, Xia Ningxing fell in love with it.
She saw that the simple and exquisite courtyard exuded a thick historical ambiance, with the cracks in the bricks and tiles hiding the weathering of ti.
Inside the courtyard, ancient trees and a pond could be found, with a rockery in the middle around which delicate goldfish swam and frolicked contentedly.
The lofty osmanthus trees scattered petals that fell like golden rain, bringing wafts of their delightful fragrance.
The garden also boasted roses, Chinese roses, peonies, and more, competing in beauty and splendor.
“Xingxing, co, let grandpa take you ho!” Sir Lu’s wrinkled smile trembled, and he prepared to take Xia Ningxing by the hand.
To the uninford, it might seem as if Sir Lu had just been reunited with his own granddaughter.
However, before he could take Xia Ningxing’s hand, Lu Tingli stepped forward to pull her to his side. Then, with a slight dip of his tall fra, he reminded him, “Grandpa, you should take your own son ho. I will take care of Baby Xing.”
“You cheeky boy!” Sir Lu could easily see that he was feeling jealous. He rolled his eyes at him and, after huffing twice, reluctantly dragged Mr. Lu ho.
Mr. Lu: ???
Is he really his own flesh and blood?
As they walked through a long corridor, Lu Fan suddenly frowned as if sothing had occurred to him, and asked, “Speaking of the Fake Uncle getting caught, have you guys inford Fake Aunt and the others?”
“No,” Aunt Lu shook her head.
They had been so preoccupied with the joy of being reunited with family that they had forgotten to notify Fake Lu Lao’er’s wife and children.
Sir Lu, with hands behind his back, snorted coldly, “It’s not too late to notify them afterwards.”
After finishing that statent, Sir Lu’s expression changed instantly like a master of face-changing in Peking opera, and he turned to Xia Ningxing with a beaming smile, “Xingxing, let’s continue our walk!”
“Of course, Grandpa,” Xia Ningxing nodded.
After passing through the corridor, they were about to enter the hall. All the furniture in the hall was made of high-quality mahogany, which seed quite old but, paradoxically, not dated, rather well-preserved with age.
At that mont, a woman attired like a lady of rank, wearing a fur coat, was sitting on the sofa. With red lips, red nails, and a teacup in hand, she was sipping tea.
Besides her sat a man in his twenties, resembling her sowhat, likely her son.
In front of her, another lady sat, accompanied by a young and beautiful girl.
It looked as though they were discussing a marriage proposal.
Indeed, that was exactly the case.
The woman posing as Lu Lao’er’s wife smiled at the noblewoman across from her, “Mrs. Wei, my son and I are very pleased with your Yoyo. What about you?”
“Daughter, what do you think?” Mrs. Wei did not imdiately answer her question but instead turned to the girl by her side.
Wei Yoyo shyly lowered her head, her fingers twisting her skirt hem, “I’ll leave it all to Mother’s decision.”
Her response essentially ant agreent.
Of course, she would agree. Lu Lao’er’s family was to inherit everything from the Lu Family in the future, and her marrying into Lu Lao’er’s family ant that she would beco the Lu Family’s matriarch, thus possessing untold wealth.
Unless she was a fool, how could she possibly refuse!
As for love, that was not important. Once she beca the Lu Family’s matriarch, she could keep many pretty boys.
“Since that’s the case, Mada Lu Lao’er, let’s set the engagent for our children straight away,” said Mrs. Wei with a smile, her voice tinged with eagerness.
“Of course. I’ll get in touch with the reporters to announce the engagent imdiately,” the imposter Mada Lu Lao’er replied with urgency.
Lu Lao’er had told her this morning that he had hired soone to assassinate Xia Ningxing, and this ti Xia Ningxing was dood. Once she died, it wouldn’t be long before Sir Lu, who had not yet fully recovered from the poison, would kick the bucket as well.
At that point, the Lu Family would be like a lamb without a shepherd, and their vast inherited wealth would undoubtedly beco the target of others’ envy. However, with the Wei Family as in-laws, outsiders would not dare to act rashly.
Although the Wei Family was not as affluent as the Lu Family, it held considerable influence.
Moreover, the Wei Family had only Wei Yoyo as an only child. Marrying her was equivalent to marrying a protective umbrella and securing the entire future wealth of the Wei Family.
Simply perfect!
The woman, currently engrossed in thoughts of her future, was still unaware that her husband—the fake Lu Lao’er—had his identity exposed.
Mrs. Wei nodded, “Then I await the good news and will also choose a suitable date for the engagent ceremony for both of them.”
Everyone thought the marriage alliance was settled, but just then, Sir Lu’s voice ca, opposing the idea, “No need!”
The people in the hall all turned their heads to look at him.
The woman masquerading as Mada Lu Lao’er gaped in astonishnt when she saw Xia Ningxing,
How was this girl still not dead?
Could it be that her husband’s plan had failed yet again?
“Mada Lu Lao’er, what’s going on? Didn’t you tell Sir Lu was also very satisfied with our families’ union?” Suddenly, a challenger appeared, and Mrs. Wei frowned in confusion, turning her gaze toward the impostor Mada Lu Lao’er.
The pretend Mada Lu Lao’er ca back to her senses and hurriedly soothed her, “Don’t worry just yet.”
After speaking, she looked toward Sir Lu, “Father, how co you’ve returned from the hospital? And why do you object to the marriage between Wenxuan and the Wei Family? You clearly agreed to it when I brought it up before!”
She was not lying; Sir Lu had indeed agreed to the union of the two families before.
But at that ti, he was already gravely ill, knowing that he did not have much longer to live. Once he died, those who had previously feared his authority would certainly beco restless and target the Lu Family. That is why he agreed to find a protective umbrella for the Lu Family.
But now the most crucial point was that he wasn’t going to die just yet, and his real grandson was not Lu Wenxuan at all!
He couldn’t give a damn about the agreent now!
“And who are these people anyway?”
As the fake Mada Lu Lao’er spoke, she only just realized that other people were standing behind Sir Lu.
Especially when she saw Sir Lu and Mr. Lu, with their strikingly similar features, her own body involuntarily staggered.
