Chapter 631 Then, Why Don't You Marry Her?
Qin Xiu couldn't understand what his mother-in-law, Su Hui had planned and expressed her concern.
"Mother, If Yuyan leaves the family, she will take all the property and power with her that she got from Lu Qiang and it is much more than anyone else in the family has. What if she really marries someone in the future, then?...it will go to the person she will marry and..."
"Don't worry about it, Qin Xiu. Lu Lijun will not let her leave this family, not at least for some time," Su Hui replied.
"But one day she will leave for sure. Then what will we do?" Qin Xiu countered.
"Everything I am doing is just to keep her in the family forever," Said Su Hui that surprised Qin Xiu.
"Huh? And how are we going to do this? I thought mother wanted her to leave our house."
Before Su Hui could answer Qin Xiu, there was a knocking on the door and Lu Feng entered inside the room without waiting for permission to do so.
"Mother, what did you do this time?" Lu Feng asked, not waiting for a moment.
"What did I do, Lu Feng?" Su Hui asked nonchalantly.
"Mother, I don't know what exactly happened but I am sure you have something to do with it. Why was Lu Lijun angry? Did you say something to Yuyan?"
Lu Feng knew if Lu Lijun was this angry then there must be something that must have upset him greatly and there was only one way to do it and that is by hurting Jiang Yuyan."
"I just showed my worry towards Yuyan as I genuinely feel bad for her," Su Hui replied pretending as if she did nothing wrong.
"And how did you do this, mother?" Lu Feng asked, knowing it was not as simple as his mother said.
"I just suggested everyone to not keep her alone as a widow in our home and we should find someone for her so that she can forget her sorrow," Su Hui explained.
Hearing it, Lu Feng exclaimed, "Mother, how can you say such a thing at this moment when it hasn't even been a half month since she lost Lu Qiang. How can you…"
"She will always be sad by thinking about him so there is only one way to get her out of it. Also, she is so young to be a widow. I want her to find her happiness," Su Hui concluded.
"You could have waited for this? Can't you see what happened with Lu Lijun?" Lu Feng questioned.
"What happened with Lu Lijun, it's not my fault. I just proposed what I thought was better for Yuyan, but her mother wished to take her back because Yuyan doesn't want to marry anyone. When Lu Lijun saw her leaving, he reacted like that," Said Su Hui, still, relaxing in the chair and ignoring how Lu Feng was feeling about everything.
"By doing this, you just want to send her away from our house as you know she will say no. How can you be so heartless?"
"Lu Feng, My Purpose is to protect our family's reputation by not letting anyone harm it and I can do anything to protect it."
"But what does our family's reputation have to do with Yuyan marrying someone and getting out of our home?"
As Lu Feng asked this, Su Hui showed Lu Feng the picture she showed to other family members before. It surprised Lu Feng as much as it surprised the others.
"This….." He couldn't say anything further as it was way too shocking, so Su Hui continued.
"I know it is not what it looks in the pictures because I know there is nothing like this but if this picture was in the news today, what would have been the outcome of it? More than the family's image think about how it would have hurt Yuyan," Su Hui asked.
Lu Feng continued looking at the picture in a shock and he remembered the way Yuyan asked him not to follow her and Lu Lijun and thought, 'So this was the reason.'
Ignoring what his mother said, her fake worry about Jiang Yuyan, Lu Feng looked at his mother and asked, "Mother, are you that desperate to send Yuyan out of this home."
"I don't want to send her away. Instead, I want her to keep her with us." These words from Su Hui were contradictory to her actions so Lu Feng asked, "Then what did it mean when you want her to marry someone. If she marries someone, then she has to go away."
"If it is what we have to do to make her happy then we have to do it," said Su Hui, not willing to accept her fault.
"This is her home, mother. How can you think about sending her away?" asked Lu Feng just to hear something more shocking from his mother, who was still sitting calmly in her chair.
"Then, why don't you marry her, Lu Feng?"
His mother's words were so shocking for him that he couldn't say a word but stare at his mother. It was the thing Lu Feng never even thought in his dreams once he accepted Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan's relationship. For him, she was just a wife of his brother.
Getting Lu Feng's silence as his approval, Su Hui continued, "You like Yuyan so what's bad in it. You know, no one can take care of her better than you. Marry her and we won't have to worry about her leaving this house or about her family's image or about her wellbeing."
There was nothing Lu Feng could say. Closing his eyes just to give out a deep sigh, Lu Feng spoke, "Mother, you are making me hate you even more."
Saying Lu Feng left the room while Su Hui didn't react. Qin Xiu, who was silently listening to these mother and son, finally spoke, "So mother, do you want Yuyan to marry Lu Feng?"
Su Hui nodded, "Hmm! That way she would always be in our family."
