Chapter 715: Deserving Of A Scolding

“Muran, the necklace you wore the last time was beautiful,” she complimented as she stretched out her hand and looked at her fingers. She already had two rings, but she was not satisfied with them. There was a huge diamond on Su Muran’s finger. That proved that she was wealthy, but she did not have the decency to show the appropriate filial respect to her mother-in-law.

“Mom, I will give it to you if you like it.” Su Muran knew Qin Xiaoyue’s unspoken intention when she heard that.

Finally, Qin Xiaoyue stopped harping on about children anymore. If she could get a necklace, then she would be satisfied with what she can have.

Su Muran ended the call, and curled her red lips.

“Such a greedy and ignorant old lady,” she sneered contemptuously. Deep in her heart, she felt ashamed on Qin Xiaoyue’s behalf.

If she had someone that she looked down upon the most in this world, it would undeniably be Qin Xiaoyue. She only knew how to take advantage of Su Muran. For Qin Xiaoyue, whatever Muran owned was the best. Even if it was just a hair band, it would be a golden band in Qin Xiaoyue’s eyes, and she would try to appropriate it for herself by any means.

“Your mom is so greedy! She wanted my necklace. Does she know that it cost me thirty million dollars?” Su Muran pouted while complaining to Lu Qin in a disdainful tone.

Lu Qin frowned. He did not like Su Muran’s tone and expression just now. No matter what happened, even if Qin Xiaoyue was in the wrong, or how badly she behaved, she was still his mom. He felt that Su Muran was looking down on himself when she criticized Qin Xiaoyue.

“I will buy a new one for you,” Lu Qin assured as he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart. He went closer to Su Muran to coax her into forgetting her dissatisfaction. However, there was an intangible distance between them now.

At this point, Lu Qin could not afford to leave Su Muran. His career had just started, and he needed her help to improve his position and popularity. Of course, the same was true for Su Muran.

Therefore, nothing can be allowed to happen between them during this period. Or else, ‘The Aster Flower’ would be affected. The movie that they put all of their effort in, which was their best shot at aiming for the best actor and actress awards respectively.

Both of them had performed extraordinarily well in the film. It might be due to their own unique styles.

One who was adept in petty tricks, while the other one with more convoluted schemes.

Both of them were not portraying good characters in the movie. They were kind of morally ambiguous, toeing the line between good and bad, and that was the main attraction of the movie. Since part of their real life personalities were incorporated into it, their acting was excellent. Adding to that was Huang Ming’s unique camera work. Out of the many films that they had been involved in, this was the most satisfying one.

They could not be reckless with their future. Hence, although Lu Qin was complaining in his heart, he had to remain patient for now.

Of course, Su Muran was not foolish. She knew how to quit while she was ahead. She opened a drawer, took a necklace from it and placed it on Lu Qin’s palm. “Don’t worry, I am not holding a grudge. It was not my intention to criticise your mother. This necklace was my father’s birthday present to me. If I had bought it myself, I would have given it to her anyway.”


“I see that I have judged you too hastily. I am sorry,” Lu Qin apologized as he caressed her hair softly. Su Muran looked sincere when she was speaking, but both of them knew that it might not necessarily be true.

However, it did not really matter whether it was the truth or not. This was because what Lu Qin wanted was for Su Muran to take a step back.

At last, the necklace was given to Qin Xiaoyue, and she could finally have her glory days. Unfortunately, Ye Shuyun was not at home, or else Qin Xiaoyue would showed it off in front of Ye Shuyun. She would be delighted to make Ye Shuyun burn with rage.

When Yan Huan stepped into the garden, she could hear Old Master Lu’s loud voice boom across the area. He had still maintained his harsh tone.

“Who asked you to come here?”

Yan Huan went closer to him, and saw that he was still on his wheelchair. She tapped her chin slightly. Since Lu Yi passed away, he had insisted to sit on the wheelchair no matter what. The behavior of such old folks was so peculiar.

She did not like Lu Yuanyang, but he was still Lu Yi’s grandfather. Before Lu Jin and his wife left, they had requested for her to take good care of Old Master Lu. Lu Jin felt guilty because he could not take care of his father on his own. However, he was worried about Ye Shuyun’s health too.

Finally, Yan Huan agreed to take care of him. However, to be honest, she was not doing it willingly.

Yan Huan pulled a chair over to him, plonked herself on it and rested her body on the table.

“What is this lousy posture?” Old Master Lu tapped on his wheelchair impatiently. “Are you spineless? Please sit up properly!”

Yan Huan had no choice but to straighten her body, but frankly, she still had fairly atrocious posture. Old Master Lu really wanted to hurl the glass in his hand at her.

“It’s gone when it’s broken,” Yan Huan commented emotionlessly. “It was Lu Jin’s only set. When he gave it to you, it was like cutting his own flesh. He felt the pain deep in his heart. If you ask him now, he would tell you that he is still distressed over it.”

Old Master Lu was stunned, his hand hanging awkwardly in the air. Of course he would not raise a hand against her. He would do so to his son, his grandson, and even to his great-grandson. However, the men from the Lu family would never raise a hand against women. For them, a man that hits women is not a man, but a coward.

His intention was to threaten Yan Huan, the naive girl. But she seemed to be ignoring him completely. She was immune to all of his bluffing, and she was the only one who could frustrate Old Master Lu. Even Lu Yi could not have done this, as Old Master Lu would beat the heck out of him if he did anything dishonorable. All three men in the Lu family were beaten by Old Master Lu since young, without any exceptions. Even though Lu Jin was almost sixty years old, sometimes Old Master Lu would still chase after him and give him a beating.

However, Yan Huan’s attitude was like – I’ll be here no matter what you do, you can hit me if you want. She was tired of living, and the Old Master Lu could not do anything to frighten her.

Sometimes he would get extremely angry, to the point where his lungs might explode. Even so, he would never raise a single finger against Yan Huan.

“Humph,” snorted Old Master Lu. “Why did you come here?”

“I am here without any reason.” Yan Huan rested her arms on the table and opened her eyes lazily.

“It was lonely at home, so I came to eat here.”

“Xiao Song, do you have something to eat? Anything, I am hungry,” she turned to face the guard while speaking to him.

“Sure,” the guard replied immediately. “Boss did not eat today, so all of the dishes are still in the kitchen.”

“Alright, please bring it over here.” Yan Huan was still sitting on the chair, with the same bad posture. She and Old Master Lu were looking at each other in consternation.

“Careful not to stuff yourself to death!” Old Master Lu grunted. It seemed that he was incapable of spouting a single kind word.
