"Right now, it's been rumored that Yihan and Xinyu's relationship as husband and wife is not harmonious. Whether it's for the Lu family or the Lu Corporation, it's not good for their reputation. Next week is their fifth wedding anniversary, so I've decided to hold a grand wedding anniversary for them.
Xin Yu's face turned pale when she heard this. She never dreamed that Lu Shiyun would be talking about something like this.
Her heart raced, but it wasn't because she was agitated.
When she was in the Lu family, she was always the most insignificant existence. Sometimes, she didn't even have the right to speak. She remembered every bit of Lu Shiyun's protection of her, but Li Muhua and Lu Yiting's harsh treatment of her made her even more reluctant to say anything.
Actually, it wasn't that she didn't dare to refute. She just couldn't be bothered to make a scene.
Yes, after marrying into the Lu family as a daughter-in-law, she was still part of the Lu family. It didn't matter how disharmonious the Lu family was. As the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, even if she didn't consider Li Muhua as her mother-in-law, Lu Shiyun was still her father-in-law and her elder. She called him "Dad" willingly.
Therefore, she didn't want to make things difficult for Lu Shiyun. How could she repay kindness with ingratitude when someone treated her well?
But now that Lu Shiyun said something like this, Xin Yu felt that she couldn't tolerate it.
Given her and Lu Yihan's situation, holding a grand wedding anniversary for their fifth wedding anniversary wasn't just "undeserving," but she also felt that it was unnatural.
It wasn't like they were being affectionate and affectionate. Who were they putting on a show for?
No matter who in City D saw it, she felt that the grander it was, the more embarrassing it would be for her because she knew all too well what she had done.
"Dad … I don't agree with this."
Taking a deep breath, Xin Yu finally mustered up her courage. Her clear eyes met Lu Shiyun's and she said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "… I think that Yihan and I aren't suited to hold such a celebration. There's no need to waste money …"
"Xin Yu, don't worry about the money. Dad is happy to do it for you. It's just a small amount of money …"
"It's not just because of the money. I don't want to —"
"Why not?"
Before Xin Yu could finish her sentence, Lu Yihan's grip around her shoulders tightened. He raised one brow and interrupted her. "I think it's a good idea... since Dad said so, then let's do it............ five.. It's not a bad idea.... I agree. "
Xin Yu....
She subconsciously looked at Lu Yihan, who had been hugging her. She pursed her lips and looked at him suspiciously. What did he mean? What was wrong with him? Previously, when he refused to divorce her, she could assume that he was unhappy. He felt that if she wanted to marry him, he would marry him. If she wanted to divorce him, he would divorce her. It felt like he was being led by the nose.
Hence, she didn't want to use the "evidence" that Qin Fangang had given her to attack him. She didn't like him, but she didn't want to fight to the death with him.
But now, there was no need to hold a five-year-anniversary celebration. Lu Shiyun didn't understand their relationship, but how could Lu Yihan not know?
Lu Shiyun didn't expect Lu Yihan to agree so readily. His face immediately glowed and he was even happier. "Since Yihan has agreed, then it's settled."
Lu Shiyun glanced around and saw Qin Fangang, who was standing at the side without saying a word. He coughed lightly and asked his eldest son for his opinion. "Fan Gang, what do you think?"
In the Lu family, Lu Shiyun gave Qin Fangang a lot of face. Ever since he came back, he seemed to like to ask for his eldest son's opinion on everything.
But Qin Fangang knew that this wasn't actually respect. At most, it was flattery.
His biological father was trying to flatter him so carefully. Why did he do that? It was only so that he could take care of the Lu Clan wholeheartedly. The Lu Clan would always belong to the Lu family. And his surname was Lu. Although he didn't care to change his surname, he knew very well that Lu Shiyun had no intention of changing his surname.
A son who had grown up with him and a son who had been exiled abroad for 28 years was indeed different.
Qin Fangang tugged at the collar of his shirt with his long, slender fingers. His deep gaze was especially obscure as it swept across the man and woman in front of him. In the end, his gaze landed on the pair of hands that were pressing on the woman's slender shoulders.
A piercing coldness flashed across his eyes, but it was fleeting. No emotion could be seen on his handsome face. In the end, he just raised his eyebrows and his thin, sexy lips curved into a faint smile. As he spoke, his gaze landed on Xin Yu's face. "Isn't this a matter between husband and wife? You're asking me. Do you think my opinion will definitely work? "
Lu Shiyun was speechless.
He knew that Qin Fangang didn't really respect him, but when he said this in front of the whole family, he still felt awkward.
He coughed and his eyes flashed. "No matter what, you're still Yihan's brother. Of course, your opinion is very important."
The smile on Qin Fangang's face grew even deeper. But when that smile landed in Xinyu's eyes, it was filled with sharpness. She didn't know why, but she actually felt a sense of guilt, accompanied by a trace of discomfort. She could only avoid that calm but overbearing gaze of Qin Fangang.
"Wedding anniversaries are just for show. Of course, if you think it's necessary, just like you said, the Lu family is not poor. We can do it if we want. As for the Lu Clan, I'm in charge now. I don't think this kind of publicity will be of any help to the company. "
"…"
Lu Shiyun's expression became even more awkward. He frowned and didn't say anything.
Li Muhua stood at the side and listened to the two of them talk. She naturally stood on the side of "disagree" on this matter. As she listened to Qin Fangang's words, she couldn't figure out anything else, but what she could figure out was that Qin Fangang didn't seem to care about this anniversary. She immediately stepped forward and pretended to say, "I also don't think there's a need for it."
Lu Shiyun looked at his wife and snorted emotionlessly. "I'm not asking for your opinion now."
Li Muhua was speechless.
"Lu Shiyun, what do you mean? Am I not a member of the Lu family? Since you didn't ask for my opinion, why did you call us back? I'm still the mistress of the Lu family! I'll say it directly now. I don't agree! "
"I know you definitely don't agree. When have you ever agreed to anything regarding Xin Yu? I called you back because I respect you as the mistress of the Lu Family, but I didn't call you to ask for your opinion! "
"You …"
Li Muhua was so angry that her face was contorted. Xin Yu looked at her tightly clenching her hands by her sides. Her fingers, which were painted with sapphire blue nail polish, dug deep into her palms. It was a stark contrast to the arrogant and bossy look she had when she was shaking her head in front of Xin Yu just now.
She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt that it was a little funny.
"Isn't this about me and Xin Yu? Dad, you don't have to ask anyone else, do you? "
Lu Yihan tugged at Xin Yu. Her provocative gaze met Qin Fangang's. "Why ask him? If I say it's necessary, then go ahead and do it. I agree. Do it in the most glorious way possible. "
Xin Yu felt that Lu Yihan's hand on her shoulder was painful and uncomfortable. She struggled for a while, but Lu Yihan refused to let go. Since he refused to let go, she plucked up her courage and said to Lu Shiyun, "Dad, can you let me say something? Since both of you said that this is between us, then I would like to express my opinion. I don't want to do this. There's really no need … "
"Wifey, why is there no need?"
Lu Yihan interrupted her. The word "wifey" made Xin Yu frown. The man's lips curled into a seemingly gentle smile. He reached out and gently caressed her cheek. Ignoring Xin Yu's objections, his cool fingers caressed her fair cheek and said word by word, "Are you angry with me? I know that you've been wronged all these years. Aren't I making it up to you now? Don't mess around, okay? I think this anniversary is pretty good. We should do it this way — "
Xin Yu bit her lip. She really didn't like Lu Yihan touching her so brazenly in front of so many people. Even if it was her cheek, she felt too uncomfortable.
She reached out and pushed Lu Yihan's hand away from her cheek. Lu Yihan didn't force her. He let go of her and turned his face away. His gaze met Qin Fangang's again. The last part of his speech was obviously for Qin Fangang to hear.
"… Let the whole world know that I, Lu Yihan, actually love my wife. At least from now on, I want to love my wife well. It'll save some people from thinking about things they shouldn't."
…
Xin Yu only felt her temples throbbing and the back of her head hurting. She couldn't figure out what was wrong with Lu Yihan. Of course, she could vaguely sense that Lu Yihan's emotions were probably directed at Qin Fangang, right?
She took a deep breath. Her red lips quivered as if she wanted to say something. Suddenly, she felt a familiar yet sharp gaze from everyone's eyes on her. It made her feel like there was a dagger at her back.
…
She knew who it was, and all the words she wanted to refute were swallowed back into her throat.
Suddenly, she didn't want to say anything. What was the meaning of her struggling, disagreeing, and refuting in front of the Lu family? She felt like she was trying to express her feelings to him.
She didn't need to do this. That Dr. Xiao's merciless words were still reminding her in her mind. He and she were from two different worlds. That kind of "union" was hated by everyone. She couldn't accept it. She couldn't afford it.
…
Anyway, Lu Shiyun and Lu Yihan looked like they had to do it. Even if she said anything more, it wouldn't make any difference. Even if she wanted to object, she felt like she should talk to Lu Shiyun in private. Now, she chose not to say anything.
"Okay."
