Sweet Wife in My Arms Chapter 471 – Is Your Whip Ready?

Chapter 471: Is Your Whip Ready?

“I have an announcement to make.” Old Master Lu stood up, his back was straight and his legs were as agile as ever. Aside from his greying hair, he did not seem like he was aging at all. Of course, another thing that grew on him was his aura of ruthlessness.

Lu Jin listened without a word.

Lu Yi listened, also not talking.

The Old Master was used to dictate the Lu family. Although he said that it was an announcement, the matter was actually fixed. None of the others had the right to say no, including Lu Jin.

“I am taking Xinyuan as my granddaughter. She will have a portion of Lu family’s assets in the future.”

The expressions of those present were diverse. The Miao family members smiled with satisfaction as Miao Xinyuan lowered her head. Nobody knew what was in her mind. She was taught in her reformation of almost six months and it changed her. Besides, she was sacked and this was almost the most shameful thing in her life as she was born like a princess.

“Adopted,” Ye Shuyun said coldly.

Lu Jin laughed.

“Lu Jin, were you picked up from a pile of trash which nobody wanted?”

Lu Jin continued laughing. His laugh sounded more like he was crying.

He did not have any opinion on Old Master Lu’s decision in taking Miao Xinyuan as his granddaughter. He can accept her if he wants. He can give her the Lu family’s assets if he wants. It is not like my family wants to spend their lives using the assets.

If they got the assets, they would use them to improve their life. Without the assets, they would not starve.

They had their own salaries and their own assets. Without these, they still had a son and a daughter-in-law who was a good earner. They had never really set an eye on the Lu family’s assets before.

Lu Qin’s smile was cold.

Another one who came to steal their food.

Old Master Lu looked at Lu Jin and said, “Since Xinyuan is my granddaughter, she is also your daughter now.”

Lu Jin used to obey Old Master’s words but that was in the past. His mindset changed a lot after he returned from Serene City. That moment, he knew that if he was dead, the ones who would suffer the most would be Ye Shuyun and Lu Yi. No one else would have cared, just like the present.

Old Master Lu did not ask him anything. It was even possible that he did not know that he almost died when he was in Serene City since he was making him to accept another daughter at that moment. Yan Huan was the one who saved his life. In fact, she saved his whole family.

Yan Huan was their daughter-in-law, and also their daughter. They already had a daughter so they would not need another one. Furthermore, taking in a daughter like Miao Xinyuan would be troubling for them.

“Lu Jin, do you understand me?”

Old Master Lu’s tone was calm but it was clear that he was demanding.

“Adopted.”

Ye Shuyun repeated coldly.

Her meaning was clear. You decide for yourself. If the woman is here, I will move out with Lu Yi and live with our daughter in law. She would rather leave the Lu family’s house than face the woman that almost caused her son to die every day.

She could be strong when facing the strong. She could take any injustice in and compromise with anything, Miao Xinyuan aside.

Lu Jin raised his face, “Father, you are the one who is taking her in. Does this have anything to do with me?”

Old Master Lu’s expression changed instantly due to his words. The smiles on the three members of the Miao family froze. Miao Xinyuan kept her head low, her thoughts unclear.

“Lu Jin, what do you mean by that?”

Old Master Lu felt like the longer he lived, the more backwards he went. His grandson did not listen to him, and now his son is refusing to listen to him too. What’s the use of raising this son then?

“I don’t mean anything,” Lu Jin who was standing upright walked step by step towards his father. Even though he was relying heavily on his family and he could live or die as he commanded, he was filial, but he was not stupid.

“Father, I have only one son.”

Old Master Lu was already pulling a long face.

“So…” Lu Jin glanced at Miao Xinyuan once and then her parents, “I will not object if you want to take Miao Xinyuan as your granddaughter. My family will not say anything too. However, I will not acknowledge her as my daughter. This is because…” Sarcasm flickered in his eyes.

“I will not acknowledge a woman that almost caused my son to die as my daughter. Father, don’t you think that you’re making it difficult for me?”

“You don’t treat your grandson well, but I do. Even if I was adopted by you, I have autonomous rights.”

What the hell are you talking about! Old Master Lu slammed the table. He only wanted to compensate Miao Xinyuan as he had been dealing with her family for generations. With Miao Xinyuan’s current condition, plus her family came all the way, he was only giving them a way out. Is he wrong for that?

What do you mean by adopted? Who said that about Lu Jin? Also, about the accident, was that Miao Xinyuan’s fault? It was his grandson’s fault and it was Lu Yi who caused her to be admitted into the hospital.

Lu Jin glanced over his watch. Sorry, I have something to do, I got to go. Lu Yi did not want to stay at the house either and he wanted to go home to spend time with Yan Huan. Furthermore, Old Master Lu could decide on a matter like this on his own. It wouldn’t matter even if he wanted to give the whole Lu family’s assets to others.

“Lu Yi,” Old Master Lu called out Lu Yi’s name.

Before he could speak, Lu Yi interrupted him, “Grandfather, is your whip ready?”

Old Master Lu almost choked on Lu Yi’s words.

“Heh…” Miao Xinyuan’s father laughed coldly, “Old Master Lu, I think that we can disregard the matter about recognising Xinyuan as a relative. The Miao family is not thick-skinned and we will not force the Lu family to do anything. However, about my daughter, the Lu family have to take responsibility for it. My daughter almost died in a car crash after she came to your house. Now, whose responsibility is this?”

Miao Xinyuan’s mother curled her lips in dissatisfaction. The Lu family is a powerful family with a big family business, we can’t step on their tails. We have to swallow this disfavour by ourselves.

“What do you want then?” A clear voice was heard from the door. The voice was soft but tension could be heard in the risen voice and this alarmed the others.

The door opened and a young woman walked in. She walked slowly as almost everyone’s gazes were fixed on her. She was in a pink long dress and stilettos of the same colour. She had many jewelry on her, an enormous diamond on her neck. With her wavy hair, she walked in step by step like a star walking on a red carpet.

Pretty, she was very pretty. Her beauty was the kind which would get acknowledged by everyone regardless of gender. Also, her aura of not giving a damn about anybody was very strong. Like a queen, she walked with a slow pace on her heels which were 10 centimeters tall.
