Chapter 87
‘Lu Xinyi,’ Sun Ruying gritted her teeth but tried to compose herself in front of her friends. She was so angry that she excused herself saying she wasn’t feeling good and returned home.
The moment she reached the Sun Residence, she sauntered towards her daughter’s room to talk about their next plans. She found her daughter Sun Qiyan fixing her makeup.
“Mom, what’s wrong? Aren’t you feeling well?” Qiyan asked when she noticed the scowl on her mother’s face.
“Guess who did I see earlier when I went out with my friends?”
“Who?” Qiyan tidied up her makeup items and took a hairbrush to style her hair.
“Meixiu’s daughter, Lu Xinyi. She’s just like her mother, a pest in my life. I was so furious seeing her face that I had to left earlier. She ruined my day.” Ruying scrunched up her face in disgust.
“Qiyan, I think we should change our plans and ask the Li family not to pursue Lu Xinyi anymore. You’re more suitable as the bride of their Young Master compare to that woman. You’re the Vice President of Sun Corporation. I don’t understand why they want that commoner’s daughter instead of you.”
Hearing about Lu Xinyi, Sun Qiyan became agitated. She had been better than Lu Xinyi in every aspect since childhood. How can Lu Xinyi get a chance to be part of a prominent and highly-esteemed family and enjoy such wealth and status?
The only reason why the Li family was asking for Lu Xinyi’s hand was that her mother, Sun Meixiu was the only legitimate child of the Sun family. She was still considered as a Sun member even if Sun Meixiu was removed from the family line.
Why would they choose Sun Qiyan, the granddaughter from a mistress? Even if Qiyan was the child of the Second Miss of the Sun family, Li family would never choose the lesser bride for their young master. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
No, she must try her best not to let Lu Xinyi marry the young master of the Li family. She couldn’t lose to a mere commoner. Lu Xinyi didn’t deserve such a good man.
“Mom, I thought you approve their marriage arrangement?” Qiyan pretended that she didn’t care. She had to make a good impression to everyone especially in front of her grandfather, the head of the Sun family.
Sun Ruying scoffed and made herself comfortable on the sofa. Qiyan stood up from her seat in front of her vanity mirror and joined her mother.
Ruying held her daughter’s hand and told her, “I only said that so your grandpa wouldn’t be mad at me. He still values Lu Xinyi as his granddaughter in spite of what happened before. Qiyan, you better hurry up and marry the young master of the Li family. Once you’re married to him, you can have whatever you want and no one will dare to point out that we aren’t truly part of the Sun family.”
How could Lu Xinyi live so happily? Whoever that man with her earlier must be rich. Did she leave her poor boyfriend for a wealthy man? What a slut! She degraded herself for being a kept woman. How could a slut live a good life like an elite? Only her daughter, Sun Qiyan deserve such a good life.
Sun Ruying felt great at the thought of these things. If her daughter was married to the Li family, that would be the perfect case for the two of them. The Li family was also a respected and noble family. They were also a member of the Big 5 families of the Capital City along with the Sun and the Shen family.
Too bad that the relationship between the Sun and Shen family had been strained for years, the Shen’s elusive young master could be a good candidate as Qiyan’s groom too.
“Yes, mom. Rest assured I’ll do my best to prove myself to the Li family. Madam Li likes me very much and I think it would be better if I start working on her approval.” Qiyan was starting to plan on her mind. She will not let Lu Xinyi win this time. She’d never lost to her before anyway.
“Good. Good.” Ruying patted her daughter’s hand, her whole face lit up on Qiyan’s assurance. “My dear baby, don’t you forget your mother once you’re married. Come back and visit me often, alright?”
