Chapter 331: 300 has always been not (3rd update)_1

"Believe only a third of it? Lu Maoyan, is this how you judge your lawfully wedded wife? That low?" Lady Su raised an eyebrow, aware that Lu Maoyan was shameless, but still, she hadn’t expected him to be so utterly devoid of shame.

How could he have the face to say that?

Indeed, there’s no creature more invincible than a shameless man.

Hmph—

"No, my lawfully wedded wife is perfect in my eyes, and naturally, I hold her in high regard. Madam, haven’t you realized? Wang Cuilan has nothing to do with me, she was never my wife."

"..."

What?

Wang Cuilan bore him three children, and each child clearly resembles him, how could he brazenly deny this fact?

Fine, even if Wang Cuilan doesn’t have a marriage certificate to prove their relationship as husband and wife, but at that time, their country, their laws acknowledged common-law marriages.

This was something he could never deny, no matter what.

"I had an elder brother, a blood brother. By the time you met my sister-in-law, my brother was no more. If those three children resemble me, it’s because they are my blood nephews, and I am their uncle. Madam, is it clear to you now?"

"Logically, this is a matter for the Lu Family, and I shouldn’t discuss it with you. When my father was alive, he always thought it a scandal and that it was better left unmentioned. Moreover, our entire family was very grateful to Wang Cuilan for agreeing to marry my brother."

"Taking care of her and those three children is a responsibility I should bear. Without my brother, I would have been long dead, let alone enjoying my present perfect and happy life with my children."

"Madam, we may not belong to the same generation, but we are of similar age. You have also lived through those times and should understand how hard life can be for children without a father or for a woman without a man to rely on. I am the pillar of the Lu household. I cannot shirk the responsibilities that fall to me, especially since I owe a debt to many, a debt I must repay."

"But all this has nothing to do with my wife, Weiwei. She has endured far too much that she should not have had to, on my behalf. Madam, your daughter, your granddaughter, are both outstanding. I believe you are a reasonable person."

Lady Su: "..."

The stern expression of Lady Su softened in an instant. She had never expected that the man she had scorned for years would turn out to be such a man of deep feelings and honor.

In her heart, she was very clear that Lu Maoyan wouldn’t dare to speak without certainty.

After all, whether those three children were his own or not could now be easily determined with a test, clarifying everything.

What shocked her was his capacity to tolerate that woman, Wang Cuilan, to such an extent.

If what Lu Maoyan had said was true, then logically, it made sense.

Besides, she too had lived through that era. She knew how hard life could be for a woman and her children without a strong man by her side, let alone without any man at all.

When Wang Cuilan spoke of Lu Maoyan, her eyes glowed. She knew that Wang Cuilan deeply loved this man. But when Lu Maoyan spoke of Wang Cuilan, his eyes were calm and unruffled, like the surface of a still lake.

It was evident the love between him and Wang Cuilan was entirely one-sided.

He didn’t love Wang Cuilan at all.

"The doctor says you need to rest well. Don’t worry, Dr. Xu is an expert in this field. I wish you a speedy recovery. If needed, I can complete the paternity test with those three children and then show you the report."

"Or, if you prefer, we can do the test again in front of you once you are discharged from the hospital."

The candid and sincere demeanor of Lu Maoyan once again tipped Lady Su’s internal scales in his favor.

"Didn’t you say that this is a matter for the Lu Family?"

"Yes, indeed, it’s a matter for the Lu Family. But my daughter-in-law was born from your daughter’s womb. If you stand in the way, Tang Su will be unhappy. If she’s unhappy, my son will be unhappy, and our whole family will be unhappy."

"..."

So it wasn’t because of her that Lu Maoyan condescended, it was because of Tang Su.

Su Ruoan’s grandmother felt relieved now. Her various tantrums, acts, and obstructions were all because she thought Lu Maoyan was a Chen Shimei. Now, it was possible that Lu Maoyan was not a Chen Shimei at all, so there was no justification for further obstruction.

Seeing no reason to oppose any longer, Su Ruoan’s grandmother relented.

"If it really was a misunderstanding, then it’s good that it has been cleared up. I am Tang Su’s granny, and all I did was to hope that she wouldn’t come across an unworthy person."

"I understand. I have only one son, Lu Han, and one daughter, Lu Zhu. My children will treat each other equally in the future, and their inheritance will be split fairly. Moreover, the children of the Lu Family are absolutely guaranteed to have good character."

"Madame, you can truly rest assured."

"In that case, go and discuss it among yourselves. I’m old, and I’m just making suggestions. I can’t decide on these matters."

"No, no, no, when the time comes, you are of the highest seniority. The role of the chief matchmaker must belong to you."

"I hope so."

When Su Ruoan’s grandmother said this, it wasn’t because she was holding a grudge against anyone, but rather, these past days, with the doctors’ actions being so extensive in and out of her ward, and their refusal to discharge her, she was worried that her body had developed a serious problem.

After all, with her age, various organs were gradually degenerating and atrophying.

If a major problem had indeed occurred, it would be quite normal.

"Okay, then you rest well. If there’s anything else you’re unclear about, just come and find me any time."

Su Ruoan’s grandmother waved her hands, "Enough, enough. I don’t want to meddle in the children’s affairs."

She had stirred up enough trouble these past few days.

And she had come to understand many things.

She had always hoped that Su Ruoan would marry a man who was better than Tang Shengyi. Su Ruoan wasn’t willing, but now Tang Su had stumbled upon Lu Han, which somehow compensated for the regret in her heart.

It was quite good.

Especially since Lu Maoyan had personally come to her sickbed just for their children’s sake, taking the time to explain things. Given the importance the Lu Family placed on Tang Su, she wouldn’t receive poor treatment after marrying into their family.

As a granny, she should feel at ease.

After Lu Maoyan left the ward, Su Ruoan’s sisters were called aside by Xu Bo to talk about the old lady’s health issue, and Bai Wei stood there, waiting for her husband to come out.

When Bai Wei saw Lu Maoyan, she hurriedly stepped forward and took his hand, anxious for her son, "How did it go? What did the old lady say?"

With your husband stepping in, you can relax completely. Once the old lady’s health improves, we should be able to set a date to formally visit the Tang Family to propose marriage," Lu Maoyan stated confidently.

"Wow, husband, you’re so capable. Mwah, love you." Bai Wei moved in and kissed Lu Maoyan on the face.

Lu Maoyan: "..."

In such a public setting, she kissed him, and Lu Maoyan’s face turned red in an instant.

He was embarrassed.

Seeing this, Bai Wei covered her mouth and giggled quietly. At his age, what was there to be shy about?
