The Crippled Bigshot’s Little Ancestor Is Too Cool - Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Undercurrent

Old Madam Lu clenched her fists.

Who was she?

The current leader of the Lu family, Lu Mingyou!

Before she married into the Lu family, her family was already a well-known business tycoon. After she married into the Lu family, they were even more powerful and united. All these years, she, her husband, son, and even her grandson had run a huge family together. What had she not encountered? What could she not understand?

He Yaoxing’s little trick was like a child’s play in her eyes!

But —

He Yaoxing’s meaning was too clear!

She wanted to force the Lu family to make He Shouxin acknowledge his ancestors as soon as possible.

The wealthy families had always been strict in protecting their young children. If He Shouxin appeared in the public’s view, the danger he would experience would multiply.

However, they knew that this was an open and aboveboard scheme, but they couldn’t make a better decision.

He Yaoxing and He Yaobai’s intentions were clear. If they wanted to break off the engagement, they had to pull out He Youran and He Shouxin. No one could win in a battle without any gunpowder!

Lu Qingzhuo was also very frustrated.

He did want to take the opportunity to break off the engagement, but publicizing He Youran and He Shouxin wasn’t part of his plan.

He wanted to take things slowly. He wanted to wait until he had caught all the rats hiding in the dark before revealing their identities. That way, the Lu family would regain their footing in the imperial capital, and anyone who wanted to harm them had to think twice before making a move.

But, He Yaobai and He Yaoxing’s words were like a knife to their necks!

Even Lu Qingzhuo didn’t dare to boast that he could guarantee the safety of He Youran and her son in the future!

The happiness of having a loved one and solving their dliemma hadn’t even lasted an hour before it was interrupted by He Yaobai and He Yaoxing with a few words.

“Brother Qingzhuo, although my father has already retired from the scene, he is still the person in charge of the He family. If you want to dissolve the marriage contract, you can do it. I want you to do a paternity test and make it public. At the same time, I want the Lu family to acknowledge the existence of He Youran and her son and put their names on the Lu family tree!”

These words suddenly sounded like they were for He Youran’s good. They were indirectly helping her become the legitimate granddaughter-in-law of the Lu family and the future Mrs. Lu.

However, old madam Lu and Lu Qingzhuo, who were well aware of this, could feel the deep malice in her words.

Especially Lu Qingzhuo, he wasn’t confident anymore…

The agreement between him and He Youran was only three years.

The agreement was that in three years, He Youran would help Lu Qingzhuo block the pressure from the outside world so that he could do as he pleased. At the same time, he would give the mother and son benefits and protection.

If he really made them ‘acknowledge his ancestors’…

Lu Qingzhuo wanted to, but he knew that He Shouxin wouldn’t be his son. He Shouxin was young and had leukemia. Such a small and pitiful child was dragged into endless danger because of the Lu family’s private matters, how could he bear to do that?

“Brother Qingzhuo, what’s your decision?” He Yaoxing asked aggressively.

“We will put Youran and Shouxin in the family tree, but it’s not…”old madam Lu interjected, trying to turn the tide.

“Grandma,” He Yaoxing called her sweetly, but her eyes were not sweet at all, “He Shouxin is the Lu family’s flesh and blood, and He Youran is brother Qingzhuo’s woman. For their sake, you insisted on breaking off the engagement with the He family. Why are you hesitating now? Are you going to let them stay in the Lu family unjustly? If… You’re unwilling to admit their identity, then what’s the point of breaking off the engagement?”

“This…” Old Madam Lu was speechless.

“If that’s the case, I’m willing to accept this grievance and continue the marriage alliance with the Lu family to maintain the good relationship between the He and Lu families for a hundred years.”
