Chapter 85: Calculations
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
He Yaobai and He Yaoxing were well aware of this especially He Yaobai. When he decided to continue the engagement between the He and Lu families, he did not think of any way out.
He Yousi’s personality had changed ever since he suffered that blow more than 20 years ago. He had changed from a gentle young master to a beast that could devour everything. He had stepped on his business rivals crazily, allowing the He family of imperial capital to grow rapidly in China. After they had become the number one family in the country, it was as if he had lost his will to intervene. He chose to retreat behind the scenes and leave everything to He Yaobai.
He Yousi also knew about continuing the engagement with the Lu family. However, he did not express anything. He Yaobai just took it that He Yousi had tacitly agreed to his actions. Over the years, he had gone all out to make the He family’s position in China more stable.
He could have suppressed the Lu family like he did the other families, but the Lu family wasn’t an ordinary family.
The Lu family and the He family had grown up around the same time. They had a rich foundation. Even if there was internal chaos because of Lu Qingzhuo’s affair, they weren’t something that could be taken down in a short period of time.
A marriage alliance was the best way to break through from ancient times until now.
Therefore, he chose Wen Cheng.
When the Lu family was at its most chaotic, he had forced the wrapped up Wen Cheng to the Lu family.
Now that the matter had been resolved with half the effort, how could he be willing to give up just like that?
As for He Yaoxing, she was even more unwilling to end it so simply.
As He Yaoxing, she could still be useful, but when she returned to her identity as Wen Cheng, she was nothing.
She had racked her brains and suffered a lot to get to where she was today. Since she could not get He Yaobai, then at the very least, she would become a knife in He Yaobai’s hand. A knife that he could not give up and could not replace.
Moreover, He Yaobai had promised her that when he took down the Lu family, he would return her freedom and give her a new identity to marry.
Becoming He Yaobai’s wife was her dream!
Therefore, she was willing to act with Lu Qingzhuo. Fortunately, Lu Qingzhuo was no longer a man. Otherwise, she really didn’t know if she could persevere!
He Yaoxing pinched his fingers and suppressed his annoyance as he said to Old Madam Lu,
“Grandma, I’m willing. I also believe that brother Qingzhuo will be fine.”
No, he hoped that Lu Qingzhuo would be a cripple for the rest of his life!
He Yaoxing lowered his eyes to hide the surging emotions in his eyes. He took out the acting skills he had trained in the entertainment industry and whined with tears in his eyes:
“Also, that woman He Youran appeared out of nowhere. In the past five years, I’ve never heard of her! Brother Qingzhuo only had contact with He Youran after he suddenly came to Rong city. I suspect that brother Qingzhuo was deceived by that woman!”
Old Madam Lu obviously knew.
Her heart was as clear as a mirror.
What kind of person was Lu Qingzhuo? Before the accident, he was a workaholic who didn’t understand romance. After the accident, he avoided women.
As the person closest to Lu Qingzhuo, she naturally knew that He Youran wouldn’t be Lu Qingzhuo’s woman and He Shouxin wouldn’t be Lu Qingzhuo’s son.
However, the He family of imperial capital was eyeing her like a tiger eyeing its prey, and she had other plans. Today, rather than saying that she was cooperating with Lu Qingzhuo, it was better to say that this was her plan all along.
She and Lu Qingzhuo looked at each other, and both of them decided that they had to admit this matter.
He Shouxin was the son of Lu Qingzhuo and He Youran.
The engagement between the Lu and He families had to be annulled!
