The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Who Allowed You to Interact with That Girl Surnamed Jiang?

Lu Qingyan thought of Jiang Nanshu, who despite her apparently approachable and warm demeanor,

found this woman to be extremely inaccessible.

Thus, he scoffed at Liang Ciqiu’s words, walking past the large central fountain with one hand in his pocket, "Don’t argue with me. If you can, bring her in front of me."

Jiang Nanshu couldn’t even catch his eye, so how could she fancy Liang Ciqiu, the dark illegitimate child?

As this thought settled, he felt a moment of awkwardness in his heart. What was he thinking, when did he ever need a woman’s approval?

Eager for his attention, one after another.

Liang Ciqiu was taken aback for a moment, his eyes downcast, flashing with guilt.

It was probably impossible for Su Ran to come in front of Lu Qingyan.

Last night, she called out Lu Qingyan’s name all evening.

Liang Ciqiu’s heart was crazed with jealousy, like a shadowy thief, he didn’t even dare to stand openly in front of Su Ran.

Seeing that he had stopped talking, Lu Qingyan knew he was just provoking.

A mocking smile crept up the corners of his mouth.

The two continued on to the opulent hall.

Old Sir Lu sat squarely in the middle, his face stern as he leaned on his cane.

Father Lu sat to the left, crossing his legs, as a servant presented him a white jade cup filled with high-quality tea.

Lu Mother sat opposite Father Lu, her spine straight, her hair held up with a jade hairpin, dressed in a dark cheongsam that showcased her graceful figure. She wore a valuable agate necklace around her neck, and her face looked dignified and noble; she appeared to be only in her thirties due to proper maintenance, showing no signs of aging.

She did not spare Father Lu a glance. They did not seem like a husband and wife but more like strangers.

The moment she saw Liang Ciqiu, her hand tightened on her knee, but her good upbringing stopped her from throwing hot tea on the illegitimate son.

Father Lu, on the other hand, looked at him with nostalgia as if he could see Liang Ciqiu’s mother through him.

Lu Mother took a deep breath to suppress her revulsion, her gaze icy as it landed on Lu Qingyan, her voice cold, "Why have you arrived just now? Also, Xiao Yan, who allowed you to interact with that Jiang Family girl? Stop living in the school dormitory; you should start studying at home from today. By the end of this year, you should also begin your experience at Lu Family. You are the heir after all."

Lu Qingyan didn’t look at her but directed his attention to Old Sir Lu, "Grandfather."

Old Sir Lu’s face was stern, "Hmm."

His sharp gaze shifted between the two, "Everyone, take a seat."

Feeling overlooked, Lu Mother put down her cup with more force, chipping a corner of the fine white jade tea cup. Her face turned ashen, "I said I don’t allow my son to have contact with that Jiang Family girl, Dad, you said if I agreed to let this illegitimate child enter our home, the engagement would be annulled, but now you’ve arranged for him to live next to the Jiang Family villa, and even let him go to Fengshan Villa over the weekend. Have you even considered my opinion, as his mother?"

Old Sir Lu simply couldn’t communicate with Lu Mother. The Shang Family was in decline; it was clear that after the Shang Family people became powerful, they got greedy, and their management failures led to their gradual downfall.

But in her eyes, it was as if the Lu Family had used the Shang Family up and then kicked them to the curb, causing the Shang Family to become increasingly desolate.

Because of the marriage between the Lu and Shang Families, the Lu Family had given enough support to the Shang Family over the years, but the Shang Family was never satisfied, investing in multiple projects that all fell through with heavy losses.

Yet, Lu Mother was totally biased towards her own family, believing she had been tricked by Father Lu into marrying him, which over time strained their relationship, causing Lu Qingyan to become an annoyance to her as well.

Father Lu was annoyed to the extreme because Lu Qingyan carried half of the Shang Family’s blood. The thought that Lu Family could be taken over by Lu Qingyan, and in the next moment, the family name could change to Shang, unsettled him greatly.
