Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Opposition Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Opposition Watching Old Madam Lu’s resolute stance, Lu Yilei couldn’t help but frown, and his tone got a bit heavier, “Mom, marriage is my own business, why do you keep opposing it?”
Just at that mont, ng Rou returned from the restroom. As soon as she got back, she could sense the bizarre atmosphere at the dinner table. She wasn’t a fool, of course she could guess why the atmosphere had turned like this.
She returned to Lu Yilei’s side and sat down, keeping her head down the whole ti, her thoughts indecipherable.
“Mom, I’m going to marry Xiao Rou.” Lu Yilei was very firm, “I want to give Xiao Rou a status, and I want to give our child a status as well.”
As he spoke, he kept holding ng Rou’s hand at his side, trying to give her strength in this way.
Beside him, ng Rou felt down due to the attitude of others, but the support from Lu Yilei at her side ward her heart a bit. However, it seed like she thought of sothing, and a shadow flickered in her eyes.
“Fourth brother, is that how you speak to Mom?” It was the eldest of the Lu Family, Lu Yihong, who spoke up. When he looked at Lu Yilei, there was a warning in his eyes, “The words Mom is saying now are all for your own good. You’ve been indulging in the company of won for so many years, there’s no need to rush into marriage.”
“Big brother!” Lu Yilei also grew anxious, “How can you say that too! You say it’s already been so many years, now that I finally want to settle down, shouldn’t you be happy about it?”
“How do you know that you are really serious this ti?” The second brother, Lu Yiming, also interjected, “Who can guarantee how long your enthusiasm will last this ti!”
The atmosphere at the dinner table was not good, to say the least— all the mbers of the Lu Family were opposed to this marriage.
The only people unaffected were Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao. Especially Zhong Niangyao, if not for the sake of keeping up appearances, she might have already been watching the drama while eating.
“Dad,” Lu Yilei turned his gaze to his father, “I am serious this ti, I really want to settle down.”
The always silent Old Master Lu also looked up now, his gaze sharp as he directly looked at his youngest son, “Then what can you use to guarantee that this ti you are really serious? You say you are serious this mont, but who can predict whether you’ll change your mind the next!”
“Why don’t you all believe ?” Lu Yilei felt truly at a loss for words, “I really want to get married. And also, Xiao Rou is already carrying my child, do you really want to see this child beco illegitimate?”
No one answered, clearly, no one really cared about the child.
“Dad, Mom, I’ve already decided.” Lu Yilei was stubborn, “Xiao Rou and I will marry, and the child will beco our legitimate offspring. Even if you oppose it, it’s no use. As I’ve said before, marriage is a matter for two people, as long as we both agree, that’s enough.”
Beside him, ng Rou, gazing at Lu Yilei, was filled with emotion and guilt.
Old Madam Lu’s face changed dramatically, looking at ng Rou with nothing but coldness in her eyes.
In this matter, she wouldn’t bla her own son, but rather the woman who had seduced him. Clearly, in her view, ng Rou was nothing but a fox spirit, a ho wrecker.
Old Master Lu’s expression remained unchanged; he nodded and spoke, “Fine, if you want to get married, indeed it is a matter for you two. The ‘Marriage Law’ is right there; our objections are just opinions, you have the right to listen or not.”
At this statent, the attention of everyone imdiately centered on Old Master Lu. They hadn’t expected him to agree so readily. Just a mont ago, it was clear that Old Master Lu was also opposing the marriage.
Lu Yilei was overjoyed, holding tightly to ng Rou’s hand.
ng Rou couldn’t stop herself from smiling, and she hadn’t expected that Old Master Lu would be the easiest to talk to in the whole Lu Family, agreeing to their marriage just like that.
It was simply an unexpected joy!
But the happiness of Lu Yilei and ng Rou didn’t last long, as Old Master Lu’s following words shattered it all.
“Lu Yilei, as long as you are not a mber of the Lu Family, your marriage is your own affair and has nothing to do with us.”
Old Master Lu spoke calmly, but his words were cruel, “All the achievents you have reached from childhood, admittedly, co from your own efforts, but the Lu Family’s help has also been significant. Since you’ve been under the Lu Family’s protection, now for the matter of marriage, you can’t escape the interference of the Lu Family. If you really think this is a personal matter, then from now on, your affairs will have nothing to do with the Lu Family anymore.”
As his words ended, there was suddenly an eerie silence at the dinner table, with no one speaking.
Even the just now righteous Lu Yilei was now silent. At this mont, he didn’t know how to respond. He indeed wanted to marry ng Rou, but if that ant losing the protection of the Lu Family, he couldn’t make a decision.
ng Rou felt an icy coldness enveloping her whole body, and her lips started to tremble.
Although she had anticipated before coming that the marriage would not go smoothly, she never expected such severe consequences.
The gap between the ng Family and the Lu Family was simply too wide, and if the Lu Family looked down upon her, that was to be expected. But she never imagined that Old Master Lu would outright say that if Lu Yilei wanted to marry her, he would no longer have any ties to the Lu Family. Wasn’t that the sa as indirectly kicking Lu Yilei out of the Lu Family?
Old Madam Lu looked at Old Master Lu with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
She had never expected her husband to speak such heavy words.
However, looking at ng Rou, and then at Lu Yilei who was completely infatuated at the mont, she thought it wasn’t so bad. She didn’t believe that Lu Yilei would completely abandon the Lu Family for a woman.
Moreover, if Lu Yilei was smart enough, he should know that all his achievents were closely related to the Lu Family.
Watching Lu Yilei’s silence, Old Master Lu didn’t let the matter rest, he continued to press, “What about now? Are you still insisting on getting married?”
