Lu Chengwen laughed and said, "Wow, this isn't my fault, the Titanic is about to hit an iceberg."
Leng Qingqiu entered with several assistants, carrying large packages of gifts inside.
Lu Guanghong and Lu's mother quickly got up to greet her.
"Oh, Qingqiu is here?"
Leng Qingqiu smiled and said, "Uncle, Aunt, hello. I brought some gifts to see you."
Seeing Xu Xuejiao was also there, her expression froze for a moment, and she quickly smiled and said, "Xuejiao is here too."
Xu Xuejiao smiled faintly, her eyes sharp, "How does Sister Leng have so much free time?"
"Oh, just came to visit Uncle and Aunt, to show some filial piety."
"Sister, you really have a heart. But in the past three years, Brother Lu has been pursuing you, and I haven't seen you show any filial piety?"
The two of them were sparring with their words.
Leng Qingqiu said, "Before, things weren't settled, so I didn't feel right coming over uninvited. Now, I'm about to be part of the Lu family, so it's only right to come and show filial piety to my in-laws."
Lu Guanghong and Lu's mother exchanged glances, both feeling awkward.
What to do!?
Leng Qingqiu... has suddenly become proactive.
Previously, the engagement with the Leng family was indeed arranged, but it was rejected by Leng Tianhao!
Now, with Xu Xuejiao right here, how to face Leng Qingqiu!?
You're too cold, Leng Qingqiu has spent the night here with Lu Chengwen before. How can you turn your back on her now? What kind of person would that make you?
You're too warm, that would be like telling Xu Xuejiao that your family has no principles at all?
Both elders were very awkward.
Xu Xuejiao said, "But I heard that the marriage alliance between the Leng family and the Lu family has been canceled. Uncle Leng even called personally, and his attitude was very bad!"
Leng Qingqiu said, "My marriage is my own decision. I said I will follow Brother Chengwen, and I will follow Brother Chengwen. Brother Chengwen, right?"
"Ah?" Lu Chengwen pretended to be confused: "Ah, hi, hahaha! Hmm..."
Xu Xuejiao said, "Now Brother Chengwen is with me, the Leng family probably has no chance anymore."
Leng Qingqiu laughed, "I also heard that Uncle Xu strongly opposed this marriage, saying that his family doesn't need to marry into the Lu family for support. The Xu family is so powerful, they wouldn't marry their daughter just for the Lu family's wealth! That doesn't sound very nice, does it?"
Xu Xuejiao said, "Brother Chengwen will go to my father's place tomorrow, and my father will agree!"
"Oh, so he hasn't agreed yet?"
Xu Xuejiao was furious: "Anyway, I'm following Brother Chengwen! He likes me too, and he even tried to force himself on me in the car just now. Brother Chengwen, tell her, didn't you just pin me down in the car?"
Lu Chengwen blushed: "You're talking nonsense!"
"Everyone knows, the Lu family knows!"
Leng Qingqiu was also furious: "I was still staying at the Lu family a few days ago, sleeping in the same room as Brother Chengwen. You want to compare with me?"
"Oh? That's unfortunate. After you, Brother Chengwen's room was slept in by me! We even drank together! Right, Brother Chengwen?"
Lu's mother felt dizzy: "Old Lu, support me a bit, I'm a bit confused."
Lu Guanghong quickly supported his wife into the living room, concernedly asking, "Are you okay?"
Lu's mother whispered, "I'm pretending. Our Chengwen used to be bothered by them, what's going on now?"
"I don't understand either, I don't know what trick this kid used."
Lu Guanghong comforted his wife to sit down, then returned and said, "This... Qingqiu, Xuejiao, please sit down, I'll talk to you."
After sitting down, Lu Guanghong found it hard to speak.
"This... your intentions, your aunt and I understand. Cough, cough."
"This matter needs to be considered carefully. Qingqiu, you know, your aunt and I initially absolutely recognized you and accepted you, hoping you would get engaged soon. But your father did withdraw the engagement, and his attitude was very strong. This... with such a strong attitude, we can't say much!"
Leng Qingqiu immediately said, "Uncle, Aunt, my fate is in my own hands. I will follow Brother Chengwen for life, regardless of whether my father agrees or not."
Lu Guanghong was stunned: "What's so good about Lu Chengwen? Just this guy..."
"Cough!" Lu's mother nudged him.
"Oh." Lu Guanghong realized he had lost his composure and said:
"I mean... your feelings, Uncle can understand. Frankly, in such matters, we elders can only push things along. The main thing is whether you two are truly in love."
Xu Xuejiao said, "Dad, what are you saying!? You don't want Xuejiao anymore?"
"Not, not, Xuejiao!" Lu Guanghong said, "Your feelings for our Chengwen, your aunt and I see them. We keep our word and absolutely support you two being together. But on your side, your father... seems to look down on our Chengwen. This... we're not small families, getting married without parental approval is too difficult."
Leng Qingqiu and Xu Xuejiao, the two girls, were at odds.
Lu Guanghong and Lu's mother had never seen such a scene.
Frankly, having girls chasing their son was expected.
A young man worth billions, it would be strange if he didn't.
But the Lu family was actually very simple. Although they were in the world of fame and fortune, they still had a simple and honest moral and family view.
And Lu Guanghong always told his two sons: those girls are unreliable, they're only after you because you're rich. Those who come for money will do anything for money.
Including killing you.
But Leng Qingqiu and Xu Xuejiao were clearly different.
These two girls were serious.
This was the hardest to deal with.
Lu Guanghong glared at Lu Chengwen: "Lu Chengwen, what have you done! What do we do now? Give us an answer!"
Lu Chengwen shrugged: "Together."
"Ah?"
Lu Chengwen said shamelessly, "Tonight, they both stay, and take turns serving me. Whoever serves me best, that's who it will be."
Lu Guanghong glared: "What the hell are you saying? Haven't you had enough beatings?"
Lu's mother gently tugged at Lu Guanghong's sleeve, meaning don't interfere, Lu Chengwen has his own plan.
Sure enough, this move stunned both Leng Qingqiu and Xu Xuejiao.
Lu Chengwen laughed.
[Surprised? Confused? Weren't you both so determined? Come on!]
[Want to fight me? I can scare you to death with just my voice!]
[If you have the guts, don't leave. Tonight, I'll have a double date!]
Xu Xuejiao looked at Lu Chengwen's smug face and thought, you wish!
I won't let you get away with it!
She immediately said, "Okay! I agree!"
Lu Guanghong's eyes widened in shock, looking at Xu Xuejiao.
Thinking, girls these days are too bold!
Lu's mother was also shocked, much more open than when she was young! Back then, we were embarrassed to even hold hands on the street!
Leng Qingqiu also heard Lu Chengwen's thoughts, knowing he was deliberately putting her and Xu Xuejiao in a difficult position. At this moment, whoever backed down would lose.
Leng Qingqiu smiled faintly, "Alright, it's settled."
Lu Guanghong and Lu's mother turned their heads to look at Lu Chengwen.
The meaning was: you came up with this bad idea, now these two are crazy, how do you clean up this mess?
Lu Chengwen was even more stunned!
[This works!?!]
[These two are completely crazy! Am I that charming?]
Lu Chengwen leaned over to look in the mirror:
[Not bad, I do have some looks.]
Leng Qingqiu and Xu Xuejiao heard Lu Chengwen's thoughts and burst out laughing.
Lu Guanghong and Lu's mother couldn't think straight anymore.
Laughing!?
Did we miss something funny?
"Uh..."
Lu Chengwen didn't know what to say: "Then... um..."
Xu Xuejiao walked over and hooked her arm around Lu Chengwen's: "Brother Lu, I'll serve you a bath!"
Leng Qingqiu gritted her teeth and walked over composedly: "I'll draw the bathwater for you, brother."
Lu Chengwen stopped after three steps: "Stop! Stop, stop, stop, stop! I was wrong! You're all my ancestors! I give up!"
Leng Qingqiu laughed, "Oh, our Brother Chengwen is scared!"
"Exactly!" Xu Xuejiao said, "You wanted a double date? You can't handle it when the opportunity is given! Coward! Pfft..."
Lu Chengwen struggled to pull his arm out of Xu Xuejiao's embrace: "You're sick! Both of you are sick!"
Lu Chengwen was at a loss: "How about this, you both go home tonight, I... I'll think about it, and we'll talk about it tomorrow, go home!"
Leng Qingqiu looked at Xu Xuejiao, Xu Xuejiao looked at Leng Qingqiu, both with challenging, stubborn, and defiant looks in their eyes.
Xu Xuejiao said, "If she doesn't leave, I won't leave."
Leng Qingqiu said, "If she leaves first, I'll leave."
Lu Chengwen said, "How about I leave?"
At this moment, Zhao Gang ran in: "Master, Lady, Young Master..."
Lu Chengwen irritably said, "What now?"
"Chen... Chen family's young miss... is here."
Lu Guanghong and Lu's mother exchanged glances.
Lu Guanghong clutched his chest: "No, no, my heart is acting up!"
Lu's mother quickly said, "Really, that's great, I'll take you to the hospital!"
The two were about to slip away.
Xu Xuejiao said, "Dad, heart problems, it's the other arm that goes numb."
"Ah? Really?" Lu Guanghong quickly switched arms: "No, no, I need to see a doctor..."
...
A large organization, the Snow City branch in the north.
The branch leader sat on his throne, his face dark.
The strategist came out: "Branch leader!"
"I heard, the damn Iron Lump King, hum, hasn't contacted us for over twenty-four hours."
"We need to send someone to clean up immediately."
"The Red Guard's matter, let them send their own people to handle it!"
"Also..." the strategist said, "The fifty billion in cash has entered the Great Sage Group's account, and the young master is asking us to bring another sum of money."
"What!?"
The branch leader stood up: "Fifty billion! That's fifty billion!"
"But the problem is on our side, we still need to pay the fifty billion."
"Do you think I'm a golden egg-laying hen?"
The strategist smiled faintly: "Branch leader is joking, a golden egg-laying hen working overtime can't lay fifty billion worth of golden eggs."
The branch leader looked at the strategist: "Are you kidding me!?"
"Uh... my point is, we still need to pay this sum."
The branch leader slapped the armrest of his chair: "Scrape together, scrape together another fifty billion! This time, send a reliable person!"
"Yes, please rest assured, branch leader!"
