Granny Lu had a gentle temperament and no signs of aggressiveness. She had a gentle and amiable smile on her well-maintained face. Old Master Qin and Old Madam Qin stepped forward quickly to welcome her.

  Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang greeted her. “Grandma.”


  The others from the younger generation were even more respectful.

  Old Madam Lu was very courteous and she responded to all of them one by one. Then she looked at Yu Shu again, with a friendly look on her face. “Ms. Yu, I remember saying that you were a good lady and that I didn’t know who would be able to marry you in the future. Right?”


  Old Madam Qin and Old Master Qin looked at one another.

  The Old Madam of the Lu family used the most gentle and passive tone to convey the most aggressive attitude of Country Z at various international summits and her logic was extremely meticulous. Before the marriage arrangements were finalized, it was absolutely impossible for her to say “I hope Yu Shu will marry into the Lu family”.

  The most important thing was that denying Yu Shu’s words now was basically telling her that the Lu family had no plans to marry her in.

  Everyone else understood that, all the more for Yu Shu. She looked at Old Madam Lu, dumbfounded, and her face turned really pale.

  Yue Qing and the others felt like they were riding a roller coaster. Their hearts rose to their throats and their bodies became even tenser. Just a while ago, they had all thought that the Lu family had already acknowledged Yu Shu.

  Now the truth had delivered a tight slap to their faces.

  After a few seconds, Yu Shu still acted like she had lost her voice. She couldn’t say anything.

  Old Madam Lu did not care if Yu Shu could give a response. She turned to Gu Mang. “Ms. Gu, come over to me.”


  Gu Mang tried to let go of Lu Chengzhous hand but she could not. She stared at him coldly.

  Lu Chengzhou let go of her after squeezing her hands lightly as if to signal for her to please his grandmother.

  Gu Mang ignored him and looked away. She walked over to Old Madam Lu and greeted her obediently, but coldly. “Granny.”


  Old Madam Lu was happy when she saw Gu Mang. She held her hand and patted her. “You will be married into the Lu family in the future. You can’t let others make things up and arrange things for you. The Lu family will support you, alright?”


  “Mmh,” Gu Mang responded. She was very quiet.

  When Yue Qing heard that, her heart almost flew out of her chest. She stared at them in shock. Old Madam Lu did not give Yu Shu any face at all. She denied her so readily right in front of everyone.

  Mrs. Lu had heard everything they had said to Gu Mang.

  Yue Qing panicked completely and her fingers trembled violently. She looked at the Old Madam Lu with a pale face and her voice was dry. “Mrs. Lu, we were just…… just kidding……”


  Old Mrs. Lu was still smiling. “Young people like to joke around, so we elders have to be more serious.”


  Yu Shu and the others felt so humiliated that their faces were warm and aching as if they had been slapped.

  Madam Lu’s words directly criticized Yu Shu’s unrealistic jokes.

  Regardless of whether the Lu family had ever said that Yu Shu would marry into the family or not, the granddaughter-in-law that the Lu family acknowledged now was Gu Mang.

  “But when you grow up, you still have to control your playfulness,” Old Madam Lu said again. Her voice was soft and her eyes were bright, making people afraid to look at her.

  Yue Qing lowered her head and answered fearfully, “You are right, Mrs. Lu.”


  Yu Shu stood in place, sticking her nails into her palms. She felt extremely uncomfortable. The contemptuous eyes around her cut her body like a knife.

  “So the appointed granddaughter-in-law of the Lu family was not Yu Shu. It was all a misunderstanding with Lu Chengzhou, and Old Madam Lu.”


  “How is that different from delusion?”


  “She just had a few meals with Lu Chengzhou and she thought that she was going to be his fiancée. Old Madam Lu praised her and she thinks that she’s the appointed granddaughter-in-law. How shameless.”


  “She was speaking in such a realistic manner. I thought that she really had the support of Matriarch Lu…… How humiliating.”


  Yu Shu’s eyelashes trembled. Everyone’s unfiltered comments made her pride plunge into the mud. Yue Qing looked at Yu Shu and was speechless for a while. Yu Shu had lost all face.

  Yu Shu’s eyes were full of blood and her ears were buzzing with the hateful comments towards her. It was as if her brain were about to explode.

  Finally, she said a sentence and escaped.

  “Sorry, I still have something to attend to.”
