Chapter 2
Qin Shuang walked in with a bowl of cold bread and milk in her hand. When she saw Lu Miao still sleeping in bed, a trace of disgust and disdain flashed across her face.
But with a pleasant tone she said, ” Miao Miao, wake up and have breakfast.”
“Got it. Just leave it there.” Lu Miao said lazily.
Qin Shuang put down the tray and sat down by the bed.
“Today is the day of your engagement with Mr Gu. The Gu family will be coming to pick you up in a while. Miaomiao, don’t listen to the rumors outside. They’re just jealous of you The Gu family is a top-notch wealthy family. Those girls couldn’t even marry into it even if they lined up. Mr Gu is just a little ill, and there’s no doctor that Gu family can’t find. He’ll get better soon. I’m doing this for your own good. You’ve suffered so many years in the countryside previously, and Mom really wanted to make it up to you. That’s why I ignored Siyu’s objections and insisted on returning this engagement to you. When you get engaged to Mr Gu, all the money in the Gu family will be yours…”
Lu Miao could not fall asleep because of her nagging and interrupted her. ” Alright, I agree. ”
Qin Shuang was stunned for a moment before realizing that Lu Miao had agreed to go to the Gu family.
She immediately said happily, ” You’re willing? That’s good! Don’t worry, I’ve prepared top-notch jewelry and the best styling team in Luo City for you. I guarantee that you’ll look beautiful today. ”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had thought that this wretched girl was going to cause trouble again today. She did not expect her to agree so quickly when she heard about the money.
As expected of a country bumpkin who was greedy for money.
The styling team spent almost two hours fixing up Lu Miao. When she finally came downstairs, Qin Shuang, Lu Qin, and Mrs. Gu (Shen Qinghe) were in the living room, entertaining Mdm Shen Qinghe, and Gu Shiyan’s sister, Gu Xingyu. When they heard footsteps, they turned to look at the stairs. When they heard footsteps, they turned to look at the stairs.
Lu Miao was wearing a blue dress, her fair skin glowing. Her features were impeccable, and her lips were as rosy as spring blossoms. Her long curly hair cascaded over her shoulders and behind her back. Under the light, she was more dazzling than the sparkling blue sapphire necklace around her neck
Shen Qinghe guessed that this must be Lu Miao, who had been taken away and grew up in the countryside. She had just been acknowledged by the Lu family a while ago.
A hint of amazement flashed in his eyes. This girl was too beautiful. In comparison, Lu Siyu was much inferior. In front of Lu Miao, Lu Siyu could barely be described as pleasant-looking.
She smiled and said, ” This is Miaomiao, right? She’s so beautiful. ”
When Qin Shuang heard her praise, she immediately added, ” Although this child grew up in the countryside, her appearance and character are all good. ”
If it hadn’t been for Lu family’s reputation, Qin Shuang wouldn’t have prepared jewelry for Lu Miao and even hired a styling team. Although her heart ached, the thought of the huge dowry gift that she was about to receive made the pain insignificant.
They chatted for a while and Shen Qinghe took out a few documents from her bag and placed them on the coffee table.
“Everyone is still waiting at home. We won’t stay any longer.”, she said.
Qin Shuang’s eyes instantly lit up when she saw the stock transfer agreement on top, and she almost burst out laughing. On the other side, Gu Xingyu happily pulled Lu Siyu and said intimately, ” Siyu, let’s go. I can finally be with you every day in the future. I’m so happy. ”
Qin Shuang took the agreement with one hand and quickly pulled Lu Siyu to her side with the other. She smiled at Shen Qinghe and said, ” Mrs. Gu, you got it wrong. The one who’s going back to the Gu family with you is Miao Miao. ”
The smile on Shen Qinghe’s face faded. ” Mrs. Lu, what do you mean? ”
Qin Shuang smiled. ” Back then, when the two grandmothers set the marriage agreement between the two families, Miao Miao was still in my womb. So, this engagement was supposed to be hers. We didn’t know before, that’s why we thought it was Siyu. Now that Miao Miao has returned home, the engagement naturally has to be returned to her. Mrs. Gu, Miaomiao is my biological daughter. She suffered a lot in the countryside before, and my heart aches for her. When she reaches the Gu family, if she does anything wrong, please forgive her. ”
Shen Qinghe was a perceptive person and easily saw through Qin Shuang’s scheme.
No wonder the Lu family had made a public spectacle of the engagement a few days ago and even hosted a family recognition banquet. It was all part of Qin Shuang’s plan.
Shen Qinghe couldn’t help but sneer to herself as she looked at Lu Miao, who sat quietly on the sofa beside her, radiating beauty and grace.
At that moment, Shen Qinghe made up her mind and asked Lu Miao, “Miao Miao, are you willing to go back with me?”
Qin Shuang immediately turned her head to look at Lu Miao warningly, afraid that she would refuse.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut Lu Miao replied lazily, neither eager nor reluctant, “Yes.”
Before Qin Shuang could heave a sigh of relief, Gu Xingyu, who was at the side, naively exploded.
“I don’t want this country bumpkin to be my sister-in-law. It’s the Lu family’s business that you owe her. Why should you let Siyu suffer grievances and give up the engagement? Siyu, let’s go.”
Lu Siyu bit her lower lip and said with fake bitterness, ” Xingyu, don’t say that. Miaomiao is a good person. I know that you like me very much. I also like you, Brother Shiyan, Auntie Shen, Grandma, and the others. However, all of this originally belonged to Miao Miao. I’ve already occupied her identity for so many years. I can’t snatch her fiancé away from her anymore.”
Gu Xingyu, thinking that Siyu was forced to give up the engagement, immediately exploded and scolded Lu Miao, “Who do you think you are? A toad lusting after swan meat, wanting to replace Siyu to marry my second brother. Don’t you even look at whether you’re worthy or not…”
But Shen Qinghe cut in, “Gu Xingyu, your grandmother’s engagement was between your second brother and Miao Miao. Whether you like it or not, your brother’s wife will only be Miao Miao in this lifetime.”
Gu Xingyu looked at Shen Qinghe’s stern expression and knew that she was powerless to change it. She gritted her teeth, glared at Lu Miao, and ran out with red eyes.
Shen Qinghe sighed in her heart. Gu Xingyu was too well protected by her family, which made her too naive. If Lu Siyu really wanted to get engaged to Gu Shiyan, this situation wouldn’t have happened.
She turned around and said to Lu Miao earnestly, ” Miao Miao, Xingyu isn’t mature yet. I’ll make her apologize to you when we get back. ”
“No need.” Lu Miao shook her head indifferently.
Hearing this, Shen Qinghe couldn’t help but feel even more pity for her. How much suffering had she endured to be able to endure to this extent?
Qin Shuang, on the other hand, was pleased with herself and said with a magnanimous smile,” Xingyu is still a child. There’s no need to dwell on it too much. You guys should go back quickly. It won’t be good if you miss the auspicious time.”
