Seeing that she didn't reply, Old Madam Rong said directly, "Do you think I don't know why you're following Changqing around?"
Lu Qianqian's expression remained unchanged: "What does the old lady think?"
"Stop beating around the bush, just tell me, how much money do you want?" Old Mrs. Rong raised her chin slightly, her face full of disdain, and said with a light sneer, "First the Zhang family, then the Peng family, and now it's Changqing. I have to say, you really are capable."
"May I ask, Madam, what kind of person is the Second Young Master in your heart?" Lu Qianqian asked her a question instead of answering her question.
Grandma Rong had an aged face, but her eyes were sharp, staring intently at Lu Qianqian, making Lu Qianqian feel a little uneasy.
“If the old lady won’t say, then I will.” Lu Qianqian said while taking a deep breath, “Every grandson is the best and the most adorable in the old lady’s heart, and naturally deserves the best of everything in the world. Whether it’s the eldest son or the second son, they are both outstanding individuals. Any one of their abilities is enough to surpass everyone else. Tell me, do you think such shrewd and intelligent men don’t know what kind of person I am?”
When Lu Qianqian praised Rong Changqing, she also mentioned Rong Ziqing, naturally to please the old lady.
She continued, "Whether you believe it or not, I have no relationship with President Peng. The Second Young Master already knows all this, and the Old Madam can also investigate. As for those rumors, they are just malicious people trying to smear me."
The old lady's eyes were unfathomable, and she remained staring at her without moving.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Qianqian forced herself to say, "Zhang Shengqin and I were indeed engaged, but that's how that happened. I went to court, and the judge proved my innocence. The old lady didn't believe me, but she couldn't disbelieve the judge's verdict. The person who made the fake video to slander me is still in jail."
“Even if you are a daughter from a clean and respectable family, your status and position are still not worthy of Changqing,” the old lady continued with a stern face.
Lu Qianqian found it amusing: "It's important to be well-matched in terms of social status, but the key is to have the same values and be compatible. In Europe, there are even commoner princesses. Why does the old lady insist on marrying the second young master a woman he doesn't like?"
The old lady snorted coldly: "The granddaughter-in-law I chose is naturally the best."
"If you can't even control your own marriage and spend your whole life with someone you don't like, it's truly pathetic. Even if you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you won't be happy." It even increases the rate of infidelity and harms children.
Look, isn't Rong Changqing's father the same?
The old lady frowned, her face full of anger: "Modern young people have free love, and the divorce rate is high. You need to tell me these things? Name your terms. How much money do you want?"
Lu Qianqian shook her head: "I didn't expect that the old lady still thinks I was with Changqing for money."
"Isn't that right?" the old lady scoffed.
Lu Qianqian said, "Of course not. It was clearly Second Young Master who forced me to get the marriage certificate. How can you say I did it for money? I was the one who was passive." [I didn't quite get this part right; could you please revise it?]
She put on an innocent look, as if it really was true.
The old lady naturally didn't believe it, and in her heart she felt more and more that Lu Qianqian was resourceful: "I don't want to break ties with you, but there are many ways to separate you two."
“Since the old lady is so confident, then please come on.” Lu Qianqian was not afraid. “I don’t need a man who leaves so easily.”
"You..." The old lady suddenly laughed in anger, "You certainly have a sharp tongue."
Lu Qianqian shook her head modestly: "Madam, you flatter me. I'm just telling the truth."
"Since you've said that, if you don't do something, I'll really be looked down upon by you, a junior," the old lady suddenly said leisurely.
Lu Qianqian's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Madam, please don't put on any show of pushing her, crying, or being unreasonable, because that would be really too idiotic."
Not only is he mentally challenged, but he's also a nuisance!
The old lady sneered, "In your eyes, is this all the tricks I have?"
Lu Qianqian lowered her head slightly. As long as it's not these things, let everything else be. Anyway, your precious grandson is there to protect me.
"Let's go, the food's getting cold." The old lady waved her hand, signaling Lu Qianqian to go out first.
Seeing this, Lu Qianqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over. She nodded calmly and said, "Okay, thank you, Madam."
Then I turned around, stiffened, and slowly walked out, finally able to smell a breath of fresh air.
"Qianqian." Rong Changqing had been waiting for her in the courtyard for some time now, and his smile deepened as he saw her come out.
Lu Qianqian's legs, which were stiff a second ago, went limp the moment she saw Rong Changqing and walked towards him, whimpering, "Waaah..."
"what happened?"
Lu Qianqian felt wronged. She had only managed to hold on and negotiate with the old lady without changing her expression. She was truly hanging on by a thread.
"Nothing much, it's just that your grandma looks a little scary when she has a stern face."
Rong Changqing helped her walk step by step in the courtyard: "When she was young, she accompanied my grandfather in the business world, which naturally honed her sharp and stern temperament."
"I see. Why did you come out? Have you eaten?" Lu Qianqian asked.
Rong Changqing took her for a walk: "If you leave, there will only be those annoying people at the dinner table. Why should I keep them around?"
Lu Qianqian thought about the people at the dinner table and sneered, "These people are really too talkative."
There was one Rong Wanru, one Zhang's mother, and one Xu Ru.
However, she understood why Rong Wanru and Zhang's mother were able to come here, given Rong Wanru's past relationship and Zhang's mother's previous threats.
But how did Xu Rushi get in?
"Are you unhappy?" Rong Changqing looked down at her. "Shall I teach them a lesson for you?"
Lu Qianqian shook her head and said, "How can a man lecture a woman? So, I'll handle this myself."
At Rong Wanru's wedding, she had already prepared a grand gift, but as for Xu Rushi, she still needed to think about it slowly.
The two took a walk for a while before heading home.
But then they saw Aunt Lanhua leading a child over from a distance.
Rong Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly.
Lu Qianqian was slightly surprised: "Xiao Chengcheng."
"Dad." After seeing Rong Changqing, Xiao Chengcheng broke free from Aunt Lanhua's hand and ran over excitedly, glancing at Lu Qianqian in an instant.
"What's wrong with you?" Rong Changqing asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Grandma called me back, saying that you and…” Xiao Chengcheng frowned, looked at Lu Qianqian, and continued, “you and her are both here, so I came.”
