Chapter 470 - The Ye Family Dinner
Chapter 470: The Ye Family Dinner
“Master, the dinner is in about seven to eight hours. Why don’t you take a nap?”
“Mmh.” Ye Ling did not protest against that. This nap was not the kind where he had to return to his room. This was a type of nap that involved him falling asleep on Shen Qianshu’s lap. With some hesitation, Tong Hua passed Ye Ling the blanket that he was already snuggling comfortably in. Then, Tong Hua continued reading his books while Ye Ling used Qianshu’s lap as a pillow. His breathing was slow.
Tong Hua mouthed to Shen Qianshu. “He can sleep like this?”
Shen Qianshu put her finger to her lips and signaled for Tong Hua to remain silent. Tong Hua turned around and continued reading his books. Seeing him start reading again, Shen Qianshu continued massaging Ye Ling’s head lightly. She felt uneasy. As long as Ye Ling’s headache was still there, it meant that the beast in his heart was still there. He could have a relapse at any time, and the conditions could have worsened too…
The Lu Family.
The Lu Family was clouded with worry. Lately, business deals had not been smooth for them. There was always an invisible force that could devour the Lu Family. This brought a lot of dissatisfaction from Ye Feifei, and she felt that these were all caused by Lu Mengyun. The Ye Old Lady was exceptionally doting on her granddaughter, and she cried for several days, hoping that Lu Mengyun’s sentence could be reduced. Since the Lu Family was experiencing pressure from the public, they had no way to get Lu Mengyun out.
Things had not been going well for the three brothers of the Lu Family either. Other than the Old Master of the Lu Family, Lu Biao was in charge. Ye Feifei was displeased with that, but she knew that her son was too young and that her husband was not reliable enough. She did not have enough power either, but she had a strong and powerful family behind her back. She was not afraid that the Ye Family would fall into other’s hands, but Lu Mengyun had badly ruined the reputation of the Lu Family, and this made her really dissatisfied.
Other than going to work, Lu Mengxi had been staying at home, and she was always silent. Ye Feifei always liked this niece. She listened to her troubles and found out that she fell in love at first sight with Ye Ling. She kept thinking about him. Ye Feifei said, “There is a Ye Family dinner tonight, and all of us will be attending. Dress well. Our Ye Old Lady has always liked you. Who knows? She might talk about your planned marriage with Ye Ling. This is a marriage that the two families had agreed on silently. I don’t think he can come up with any reason to object to this issue.”
Lu Mengxi sank. At the Ye Family dinner, all of the Lu Family would definitely be present. Recently, things had been going on between Ye Ling, Shen Qianshu, and Ye Yifan. Lu Mengxi could not make out who Shen Qianshu had a thing with. Was it Ye Ling or was it Ye Yifan?
Ye Ling would definitely not like her.
Only someone so shallow like Ye Yifan would like gorgeous women like Shen Qianshu.
The Ye Old Lady had set her heart to please the Lu Family. If it were not for the Lu Family, she might not have been able to hold the power above the Ye Family. She needed a powerful assistant for that. When Ye Ling returned home, the power of the seniors in AG was decreasing, and no matter how stable the Ye Old Lady was, she might not be able to remain in power for long.
Lu Qiming had always not poked his nose into any matters. He was just a free young prince who had a lot of fun and enjoyed life. He did not have much ability, and although he was the general manager of the company, Lu Biao was the one who had the power. The Lu Old Lady and Old Master were still alive, and the family was still in one piece. Ye Feifei was in no hurry to get any power. She knew her limits, and she understood clearly that she would never be able to manage such a big company.
Lu Mengxi was different.
Other than Lu Biao, the only two people that the Lu Family had placed hope on were Lu Mengxi and Ye Feifei’s son. Lu Mengxi was a girl after all, and she was destined to not be able to inherit the family business. Being nice to Lu Mengxi could help Ye Feifei’s son, so naturally, she was willing to be nice to her.
For the third generation of the Lu Family, Lu Mengxi was the only one who could please the elders. The Old Lady and Old Master had high hopes for her.
Lu Biao had also told Ye Old Lady that this marriage was definitely going to happen.
Lu Mengxi dressed up really well in a nude-colored long dress that was tightly fit on her. Her earrings were small and exquisite. She wore a white ceramic watch and did not have any more extra jewelry embellishment. She looked fresh, pretty, and generous. She was beautiful and delicate. As she walked slowly with her high heels, she looked elegant and full of style.
