Chapter 596: Enemy Of The Su Family
Yan Huan shrugged and really wanted to say: Your grandfather was the one looking for me, I don’t have the time to take the initiative to look for him.
Old Master Lu did not invite many people to his birthday, but the ones who should be present should already be there.
Of course, there were not any lesser people this year, and there was a new member, the Lei family’s little fatty, Little Lei.
Little Lei, who was only a little more than a year old, was more well-fed than any other kid. His little arms and calves were very sturdy. With this little one around, Old Master Lu had stopped finding faults in Yan Huan as he was too content paying all his attention to the adorable little child.
Little Lei was actually a pretty considerate child. He kept on smiling cluelessly, and it made Old Master Lu like him even more.
Yi Ling pulled Yan Huan aside when she saw that there was no one else around. She said softly, “I can see that he likes kids a lot, so everything will be fine if you and Lu Yi have your own baby. You won’t have to scurry around like a thief anymore, avoiding this and that.”
“You have to believe that…” Yan Huan said as she touched her earrings, “As long as it’s my child, he won’t like him or her. There’s a kind of hatred that actually comes from within the bones.”
It was obvious that Yi Ling did not believe in what she just said, but that was in fact the truth. If Yi Ling had continued to live in her previous life, then she should know that Yan Huan had gotten pregnant when she was with Lu Qin. Even then, Old Master Lu did not treat her any better because of a child. When she lost her child, he did not even show concern for his granddaughter, even if she was the first girl in the Lu family in a hundred years. It was really just unfortunate that she did not have the fate to be born into this world.
Anyway, she never had much hope. So, there would not be any disappointment if there were no expectations to begin with.
Besides, she did not need Old Master Lu to like her.
Because no matter how much she tried, he would never be impressed by her.
“Old Master Lu, what a long life you have,” At this time, a voice came from outside and it made the look on Yan Huan’s face change. The arch on her lips was not too pleasant and of course so was everybody else there, especially the ones from the Ye family.
Ye Jianguo groaned and rolled his eyes with an unbelievable speed.
Ye Chuji pouted and tapped Lu Jin’s shoulders. “Why did you let them come, I thought they had never been here before?”
Lu Jin shook his head. He did not know, he did not know anything about that.
“You must have been picked up from the dumpster.”
Lu Jin could only remain silent to this frequently brought up accusation.
“Can we not get into a disagreement every time we speak? Let’s just say this, deal?”
“You must have been picked up from an unwanted dumpster.”
Ye Shuyun said once again.
Lu Jin’s reaction was a helpless silence.
The previous one was better.
Yan Huan was playing with Lu Yi’s fingers with her back facing everyone else, but she could hear footsteps approaching them from not far away. Lu Yi calmly watched as the Ye family entered the house and once again thought of what Yan Huan had said, if she was not reborn.
Then to all the incidents that the Ye family had encountered.
Grandfather passing away, uncle being indebted for life and Xinyu going missing, the entire Ye family was ruined. It was nobody’s fault but their own.
Fortunately, nothing like that happened in this life and the Ye family was still here. Ye Jianguo was still alive and the Ye family was prospering, but it could not be forgotten that the Ye family would have been torn apart for being too ambitious.
Su Qingdong let out a cough, probably because he felt awkward.
“Ranran, come over and greet your elders.”
He quickly called his daughter over to greet everyone else.
Su Muran smiled shallowly and referred to Old Master Lu as grandfather.
“Good, good, so good that you’ve came.”
The way Old Master Lu treated Su Muran was indeed better than how he treated Yan Huan, despite both of them being actresses.
“Are you hurt?” Lu Yi asked Yan Huan softly.
Yan Huan shook her head, “No, it doesn’t hurt one bit. I would rather have an unidentified dad than have a father like Su Qingdong.” An undying hatred was the only way to describe her feelings toward the Su family.
In her past life, Su Qingdong clearly knew about her relationship with Lu Qin, yet he had let his own daughter drive a wedge in their relationship. He also clearly knew how Su Muran was saved, but just look at what they had done.
Yes, she could understand the selfishness of a father, but did he not have a little conscience in his heart for the unborn child? He had never visited her or burnt any offerings for her after her death. Had he never had nightmares in the middle of the night? They had continued on with their lives, even laughed and celebrated Su Muran’s new life, yet never pitied the child at all. Yan Huan did not care for having a father like this.
However, the Su Family in this lifetime was slightly worse off than before. Su Muran’s career too was being threatened by Yan Huan now.
Yan Huan was not surprised that Su Qingdong would come over.
Su Qingdong was a slick and cunning man who knew how to play his cards right. He understood that if he just let things be, he would eventually be an outcast in the Ye Family, the Lei Family and the Lu Family. If the three families formed an alliance to take down the Su Family, they would be doomed for sure.
She knew that he was coming up with a plan for the Lu Family.
But then again, everyone present probably knew that in their hearts too.
At that moment, Lu Qin walked in from outside. He handed over his gift and said, “Grandpa, this is a birthday present that I’ve prepared for you.”
When he was done speaking, he went to stand beside Su Muran. One could sense that he was being protective.
Ye Shuyun pouted and whispered to Lu Jin.
“This nephew of yours wants to become a rich family’s son-in-law?”
She was a person easy to deal with. No matter what advantage her in-laws tried to take of her, she never held a grudge about it. But, her in-laws clearly knew that she had a lifelong grudge against the Su Family. Yet, they still had to create all sorts of drama. How could she forgive them now?
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Lu Jin muttered, noticing the suppressed anger in Ye Shuyun’s voice.
“The Old Master is still here.”
“So you’re not picked up from the dumpster?”
Ye Shuyun snapped back.
Lu Jin was speechless once again. He felt that one fine day he would actually choke to death from Ye Shuyun’s words.
Old Master Lu heard Ye Shuyun and her partner whispering under their breaths. He was old and his hearing was not as good anymore, or else it would be impossible for Ye Shuyun to talk to Lu Jin like that.
Despite that, other people might have more or less heard some of it already.
The look on Su’s family face was not too good. Su Qingdong was still smiling but it was obviously not genuine and not from the heart. Su Muran shifted her attention onto Yan Huan and there was a sense of hatred that pierced through her right at that moment.
Yan Huan replied with a smile, then she leaned on Lu Yi lazily.
She did not bother fussing over a short-lived ghost. In two years’ time, Su Muran would still fall sick and by then, she would like to see who could Lu Qin approach to cut open their stomachs just to treat Su Muran.
Lu Yi held her shoulders gently as a sign of comfort.
Yan Huan’s eyes darkened. Yes, it did not matter when. Everything that troubled her would go away as long as he was here with her.
