The Crippled Bigshot’s Little Ancestor Is Too Cool

When He Yaoxing saw that Lu Qingzhuo had arrived, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

“Brother Qingzhuo, why are you here?”

At a gathering like this, men had their own affairs, while women had theirs too. Yet, Lu Qingzhuo had directly come to the ladies’ table for He Youran. It made it seem as though the couple were deeply in love, but it was still inappropriate.

Immediately, those who were attracted by Tang Yiqing turned to look at Lu Qingzhuo and He Youran.

“What’s wrong with me coming to visit my wife?”

At the level of the Lu family, gossip could no longer affect him. The strong were respected. No matter how unhappy they were with him, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only think about it in their hearts.

He Yaoxing narrowed his eyes and sneered.

“I think you’re afraid that we’ll bully He Youran, so you came here to protect your wife, right?”

“Did you bully her?” Lu Qingzhuo played along and said, “No one said that I can’t come to see my wife at a party. Miss He, are you trying to deceive me by saying this?”

“You!” He Yaoxing gritted his teeth.

“Alright, Alright, stop talking.” Old Madam Lu tried to smooth things over.

“Grandma,” He Yaoxing called out to her, “Although my engagement with brother Qingzhuo has been broken off, the He and Lu families have been friends for a hundred years. We won’t become enemies just because the engagement is broken off. Look at Brother Zhuo, he…”

He Yaoxing was an actor, so her acting skills were naturally adept. Such an aggrieved accusation was really pitiful.

“That’s right. Moreover, the He family and the Lu family had an engagement first. Now that it’s been revoked intercepted, Yaoxing is also a victim,” Zhao Jin chimed in.

“That’s right. Sister Yaoxing hasn’t said much at all. He Youran is Mrs. Lu, so we can’t possibly bully her,” Chen Man added. “Usually, women like us would perform small acts at these kinds of gatherings to entertain ourselves. Sister Yiqing only knows that Mrs. Lu likes the violin, so she wants to play a song as a gift for her.”

“That’s right, Qingzhuo, you don’t need to be too nervous.” He Yaobai walked over and put his hand on Lu Qingzhuo’s shoulder with a smile, “We all know that you and Mrs. Lu have a good relationship, but you have to look at the occasion. Don’t let others see you as a joke.”

Lu Qingzhuo pursed his lips and remained silent.

The engagement with the He family in the capital was always a huge mountain on his shoulders, so he couldn’t fight with the He family in the capital with full confidence.

So, no matter how unhappy he was, Lu Qingzhuo had to suppress his temper and pretend that he couldn’t see that they were making things difficult for He Youran.

He smiled and took the hand that He Yaobai had placed on his shoulder:

“Look at what you guys are saying. I’m just worried that Youran isn’t used to attending this kind of party for the first time. I came to see her. What are you guys talking about?”

He was pretending to be confused, so the others couldn’t force him. Otherwise, it would really be a provocation.

“That’s good. But, looking at you just now, I thought you were going to kill someone!” He Yaobai smiled.

“Brother Yaobai, you’re overthinking it. I’m not in good health, so naturally, I don’t look as energetic as an ordinary person.” Lu Qingzhuo swept his gaze across the crowd, he gently said, “Then, can I ask everyone to leave for a moment? I have something to say to my wife.”

Since he was so polite, the others couldn’t press him too hard. They all tactfully moved aside.

He Youran pushed Lu Qingzhuo to a corner of the courtyard. The annoyance on her face disappeared, leaving only a hint of worry.

“Why are you here?”

“I’m worried about you.” Lu Qingzhuo held her hand. “You entered the Lu family because of me, but I can’t protect you at all times.”
