Outside the hospital's ward-
Qin Yanwan was sitting on a chair in the corridor. She was only wearing a simple pair of white t-s. Her legs were slightly bent, revealing a small ankle that was sparkling and beautiful.
Her voice was particularly clear and pleasant. "You can want me to marry into the Lu family, but I want to take back my mother's money..."
However, before she could make a request, a sharp voice interrupted her. "Qin Yanwan, look at yourself. What right do you have to make a request?"
Qin Yanwan looked at the woman who was speaking.
Xiao Kelan was her father's second wife.
She thought highly of her wife because this woman was a third party who would do anything to get the position.
In the past, she had been arrogant and domineering. She had forced her mother to become Mrs. Qin and sent her and her grandmother abroad for free.
After more than ten years, she had spent a lot of effort to find this place and let her return to China to get married to the Lu family.
Qin Yanwan hid the hatred in her eyes and raised her slender fingers to push her big black-framed glasses. Her voice was soft and harmless.
"Auntie, you're begging me now. If you think my conditions are too much, you don't have to talk to me."
Xiao Kelan was enraged by her retort and her voice became louder. "Qin Yanwan, you're the one who can marry into the Lu family! Besides, your mother has already agreed to this marriage with the Lu family. Do you still want to break off the engagement? Can you afford to offend the Lu family?"
"Yes..." Qin Yanwan nodded and the corners of her lips curled up a little. "But did the Lu Family recognize this marriage?"
Her mother and Mrs. Lu had been close friends since they were young. Later, the two families lived together and became neighbors. They were very close. After giving birth to a son, Mrs. Lu immediately came to the Qin family and got engaged to the two children.
Now that the Qin Family had been defeated, they desperately wanted Qin Yanwan to marry into the Lu Family and climb up this high branch.
"Of course not..." Xiao Kelan was about to say something, but the man next to her glared at her.
"Wanwan, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. The Lu family has always kept their promise. How can they not accept this marriage?" Qin Jianguo said in a soft voice instead of saying anything, "This marriage was arranged by your mother and the wife of the Lu family-"
Qin Yanwan interrupted him, "Dad, I heard that something went wrong with Lu Tingxiao's leg. He can only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life and he doesn't have any hope of inheriting Lu Enterprises."
Hearing this, Qin Jianguo and his wife became flustered.
Qin Yanwan swept her gaze across their faces and spoke their thoughts in an innocent tone, "I know that in order to prevent Lu Tingxiao from becoming the empress, the Lu Family has offered generous conditions just to find him a woman who can carry on the family line."
"Auntie doesn't want Sister Ruoxue to suffer, and she wants to get close to the Lu family. That's why you think of me."
Hearing Qin Yanwan's words, Qin Jianguo recalled the debt he owed her in the past decade or so. His face was burning, but he still tried his best to put on a calm facade. "Back then, your mother and Mrs. Lu were best friends..."
"That's right," Qin Yanwan said. "If it weren't for Lu Tingxiao being crippled, you would have already shoved Qin Ruoxue into the Lu Family."
Qin Jianguo immediately became angry from embarrassment. "Qin Yanwan, are you going to talk to your father like that?"
"Old Qin, what are you talking about with her?" Xiao Kelan cut in and glared at Qin Yanwan. "You're lucky to be able to marry into the Lu Family. If you don't know how to express your gratitude, you're still trying to make a fool of yourself. You really don't know what's good for you!"
"Auntie, if you know what's good for you, why don't you let Qin Ruoxue go?"
Anyway, whether she went or not was not important to the future plan. It was not the only way for her to take back her mother's property.
"It's just a little longer."
Qin Yanwan stood up and was about to leave.
