Her originally cool and aloof expression was instantly covered with a thin layer of moisture. Tears dripped down her fair cheeks, and her nose was slightly red, making her look pitiful.
"Waaaaah~ I'm an orphan girl, and her son has defiled my innocence. He promised to marry me, but he tricked me into taking all the valuables my family left me."
现在又不娶我,我不过想要回我的钱,他们就揍我,现在我没了清白也没了钱以后还怎幺活啊。」
After she finished speaking, she raised her bruised and swollen wrist, revealing the hideous scars on her fair skin.
He had initially spoken in support of Yao Lamei, but his expression changed immediately upon hearing her words.
Defile a girl; that's indecent and punishable by death.
"If what you're saying is true, young lady, this is harassment. We'll all help you take him to the police station."
"Jiang Linwan, stop making baseless accusations! I clearly didn't touch you that day," Lu Chengyu said anxiously.
"Don't believe this little slut's nonsense. That day..." Yao Lamei's eyes darted around as she stretched her neck and said, "That day, she seduced my son, but my son refused to submit even at the cost of his life."
Who knew this shameless woman would force my son to marry her?
Sun Shuyao's face showed a hint of surprise when she heard Yao's mother's words, but her eyes were soon filled with joy.
Lu Chengyu and she grew up together as childhood sweethearts. They were of marriageable age, but Lu Chengyu was suddenly told by Yao's mother that he was the grandson of Lu, the head of the Lu family in Beijing, who had served in the military for two generations.
The Lu family had three sons. One died on the battlefield, and the other was injured while rescuing people at sea and could not have children. Lu Chengyu's father only had him as his son.
Sun Shuyao thought she could rise to prominence with Lu Chengyu, but Jiang Linwan suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and now Chengyu is not going to marry her.
Looking at Lu Chengyu, her eyes became affectionate.
"Yao Lamei, do you dare swear to God that if you tell even the slightest lie, may you be childless and without descendants?" Jiang Linwan stared at her with cold eyes, her words sharp and piercing.
Country folk value oaths, especially vows of childlessness. Yao Lamei's face turned ashen; she was being forced to spit out all the money she had just earned...
Looking at Jiang Linwan, she was so angry and embarrassed that she was about to raise her hand to hit her when a tall figure suddenly stepped in front of her, his hand precisely grabbing her raised wrist, his knuckles turning white.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze cold and sharp, his words carrying a strong sense of intimidation: "What is your sister-in-law doing!"
"Uncle!" Jiang Linwan looked up and was overjoyed to see the man. She quickly noticed the old man behind him, pinched her waist hard, and squeezed out a few tears.
She ran towards Grandpa Lu with a wronged expression: "Grandpa, I clearly woke up that day and found myself lying next to Lu Chengyu for no reason."
"He's saying he didn't touch me now, what's going on?" Jiang Linwan's eyes were red, and her voice was full of grievance.
What happened? What else could it be? Old Master Lu knew perfectly well.
When Yao Lamei saw Grandpa Lu and his companion, her face turned deathly pale.
Lu Chengyu felt only hatred. The old man was biased; Lu Qiyue had no children at all, yet he left all his assets to him.
"Wanwan, don't worry, Grandpa will definitely give you an explanation for this."
Old Master Lu suddenly straightened his back, and although his temples were gray, his aura of authority, which had been accumulating for many years, instantly spread out.
He didn't shout at them; he merely glanced at them, and the imposing presence that came with years of holding a high position was palpable.
A cold sweat instantly broke out on Lu Chengyu's back. His previous arrogance vanished, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his legs felt slightly stiff.
"Grandpa, I really didn't touch Jiang Linwan that day, and I have no feelings for her."
"We won't be happy even if we marry her," Lu Chengyu said, straining to suppress his fear.
He was determined to marry Shuyao in this lifetime, to give her an identity, and not let her follow him for so long without a name or status like in his previous life.
Yao Lamei froze, all the color draining from her face, leaving it as pale as paper.
Her heart leaped into her throat, and she grabbed her son's arm tightly, blinking frantically to signal him to shut up.
Has he gone mad?!
He had just thought his son was trying to manipulate Jiang Linwan into giving up her job, but now it seemed his son was determined not to marry her.
Jiang Linwan is much better off than Sun Shuyao. He has a wealthy family and a good job, while Sun Shuyao is just a country bumpkin who can't help him at all.
"Wanwan, don't be afraid. Do you want to marry him? If you're willing to marry him, that boy has to marry you." Old Master Lu's gaze softened as he looked at Jiang Linwan, tinged with a hint of guilt.
Jiang Linwan didn't want to marry Lu Chengyu, and seeing that Old Master Lu felt guilty towards her, she decided to quit while she was ahead.
"Grandpa Lu, I don't want to. I don't like him at all. If he hadn't slandered my innocence, I wouldn't have agreed to marry him."
I now demand that he go to the family compound and apologize to me in front of everyone, and return the property he took from my Jiang family.
After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Lu Qiyue, who was tall and slender beside her.
Years of training have honed his physique to a firm and well-proportioned build, with broad shoulders and a slender waist and abdomen. His posture is as straight as a pine tree, exuding the unique solemn and upright aura of a soldier.
His military uniform accentuated his imposing stature, giving him an aura of someone you could rely on and feel secure in.
It's a pity that such a good man was injured while rescuing people at sea in the dead of winter, and he will never be able to have children again.
Sensing that gaze, the man who had exuded an imposing aura during their confrontation completely changed his demeanor.
His sharp eyes lost their edge, and a hint of panic flashed in them. The usually decisive and efficient soldier was now somewhat at a loss.
In her past life, Jiang Linwan was deceived in marriage and has no desire to get married again.
But her grandfather and parents were sent to a place near the island he was stationed on. If she could marry Lu Qiyue, she could secretly help her parents in the future.
Anyway, Lu Qiyue didn't get married in her previous life and only adopted one child, so one more child wouldn't make a difference.
Just as Jiang Linwan hesitated, unsure of how to speak, Old Master Lu noticed that the little girl was staring at his third son.
The doctor said that the third daughter's injury might make her infertile, but he didn't say she was completely infertile. This means that if we take her to see a doctor, she might be able to get better. Those gossipy women are spreading rumors everywhere that his son is no good, which is why no one wants to marry the third daughter.
I wonder if this girl minds that the third brother can't have children. If he asks, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity?
"Wanwan, don't worry. I will apologize and make Chengyu return everything he took."
Since you don't want to marry Chengyu, what do you think of Qiyue?
As soon as he said that, Lu Qiyue felt his eyelids twitch, and something felt wrong.
Jiang Linwan's expression brightened, but she still said reservedly, "Grandpa, I think Uncle is pretty good. He's handsome and has a great physique."
Moreover, they are soldiers who defend their country; soldiers are the people I admire most in my life.
"Dad, you don't mean to let the third son marry Lin Wan, do you? Aren't you ruining her life?!" Yao Lamei immediately became agitated and pinched Lu Chengyu hard on the waist: "Are you crazy?"
"Jiang Linwan is an orphan. If you marry her, not all of her family's money will be yours."
"Aunt Lu, that's not right. What's wrong with my uncle marrying me? I'm willing to marry him." Jiang Linwan finished speaking and turned to look at Lu Qiyue expectantly: "Uncle, will you marry me?"
Jiang Linwan was already beautiful, with a delicate and petite face, and her eyebrows and eyes were particularly pleasing.
Her eyes were clear and bright, with distinct black and white, and her gaze was gentle and pure when she looked at people.
Stared at so openly by her, Lu Qiyue stiffened slightly, but quickly frowned: "Are you sure? Marriage is not a game."
