Chapter 430: Chapter 414 Something’s Wrong

"Don’t worry, even if she is also involved, there’s no guarantee she’ll guess anything. And so what if she does? She doesn’t have the means to threaten us. I’ve already had someone check on all her activities after she left Yushu Village, we’ll have the results soon."

As Shitou was comforting Lu Yun, he silently resolved to have someone keep an eye on Chen Qiuyu in the future. If she showed any signs of unusual behavior or started talking nonsense, he’d rather nip it in the bud than let it go.

"If she really is involved, it’s already been several years. If she really wanted to do something, it’s too late to worry about it now."

Lu Yun’s momentary shock and suspicion quickly gave way to rationality. She lowered her head, cut a small piece of steak, put it in her mouth, and chewed thoughtfully before continuing, "Just look at the guy next to her, with that fierce face and dressed like a nouveau riche fatso. It’s obvious that she’s only after attaching herself to wealthy people now."

Lu Yun furrowed her brows, displaying slight annoyance, "I wonder who that fatso is? To dare bring a mistress to this kind of event. Is he not putting our uncle and aunt or the Lu Group in his eyes?"

"It’s easy to find out who that fatso is. Once we’ve eaten our fill, we can just ask dad or uncle, and we’ll know," Shitou said as he glanced in that direction again and began to eat a piece of steak at a leisurely pace.

"Alright, we’ll ask later. It’s hard to bear the curiosity without satisfying it," said Lu Yun with a nod. Her actions, however, did not quicken as she continued to eat while shifting the conversation to another topic with Shitou.

It was indeed strange that, despite the many years she and Shitou had been together, they never tired of doing the most ordinary things like eating and chatting every day. Whenever they were together, they always had plenty of topics to discuss.

After eating to about seventy percent full, both of them stopped reaching for more food and headed straight toward Lu Aiguo. Xia Yuan and Pei Yi were not by Lu Aiguo’s side, but Lu Yun and Shitou weren’t worried. The security guards accompanying them to the wedding festivities were also incognito in plain clothes among the crowd.

With the security measures in place for the wedding being top-notch, and Pei Yi, though young, being strong due to his spiritual power, there was not much concern. Even if Pei Yi moved around the venue by himself, it wouldn’t pose a problem, let alone with Xia Yuan by his side.

There were quite a few people surrounding Lu Aiguo, and he was busy socializing. From afar, when he saw the two approaching, he excused himself from the crowd and walked over to them, "Guaibao is with your mother in that circle over there."

Lu Aiguo pointed in a direction, and as Lu Yun and Shitou looked, they saw a group mainly comprising elegant ladies. The crowd also included girls and children of all ages dressed in bright, flashy outfits. Among them, Xia Yuan and Pei Yi were clearly the center of attention.

"We’re not looking for them, dad. Do you remember that woman from our village, Chen Qiuyu?" Lu Yun chuckled inwardly, thinking Pei Yi must be going crazy at the moment.

"Chen Qiuyu? Why suddenly ask about her?"

"Just saw her and got curious. Look over there, do you know the fatso next to Chen Qiuyu?" Lu Yun gestured for Lu Aiguo to look in a certain direction.

Lu Yun didn’t notice, but at the moment they looked over, Chen Qiuyu, who was far away, clearly saw them as well. A flicker of surprise flashed through her eyes before disappearing. She lowered her head to say something to the fat man and then stood up and walked outside.

"So you saw her," Lu Aiguo said with a sudden smile.

Lu Aiguo laughed, "How could you not know? That fat guy’s name is Ding Gaoqun, his family business is doing quite well, and it’s said that there’s some influential backing behind him. He’s usually quite arrogant, a real bully with the mindset of ’I’m the best in the world.’ At first, he caused some trouble for our Lu Family as well, but after I taught him a harsh lesson in private, he became much more docile."

"What? He caused trouble for us too? How did you teach him a lesson?" Lu Yun asked, first surprised and then with a hint of interest.

"Actually, it was nothing much. When he made unreasonable trouble, we first investigated what he was relying on. Then we found his weak points, and in the end, we were just more unreasonable than he was. This kind of thing happens all the time in business; what kind of people haven’t we seen? He’s nothing but a shrimp that can only scare those who haven’t experienced much. We’ve seen more ferocious ones. As long as your presence is stronger, the power you display is more formidable and mysterious, they can only bow their heads obediently."

Lu Aiguo spoke dismissively. ’If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone,’ but that’s not very useful with bad people. You have to be even ’worse’ and more arrogant than them to suppress them completely.

"Wow, Dad, I had no idea you could be so mighty and domineering. You really keep it hidden,"

Lu Yun said with feigned amazement. In reality, she had been through a lot in her past life, and she had suffered many losses before she truly understood what her father was talking about.

When you are weak, the most people will bully you. Only when you become truly powerful and assertive can you earn the respect, or rather the fear, of others.

Otherwise, heh. In this world, there are far too many bullies; often, even if you don’t look for trouble, trouble can still find you.

"That Ding Gaoqun is also famous for his philandering ways. Hardly anyone could probably keep up with his pace of changing wives. Besides his first wife, who has been with him the longest, the rest have generally been replaced at a rate of one every three years."

Lu Aiguo said with disdain, "The woman by his side is indeed Chen Qiuyu from our Yushu Village, and she’s already his fifth wife. Chen Qiuyu does have some skills; after all, she’s been with Ding Gaoqun for three or four years now, which is quite durable for him. But recently, Ding Gaoqun’s scandals have begun to increase again. It’s said that he’s pursuing a newly popular actress from Xiangjiang with all his might, and I fear that Chen Qiuyu’s position as Mrs Ding might not be secure much longer."

"With Ding Gaoqun changing wives so frequently, doesn’t that mean each one would take a sizeable portion of his wealth when they leave?" Lu Yun was momentarily surprised. She knew that many men keep up appearances at home while carrying on affairs outside, but it’s rare to see someone like this Ding fellow change wives as often as clothes.

"Wishful thinking. Except for his first wife, who left with a good portion of his wealth and their son, the most any of his other wives could take was a property if they managed to leave unscathed, which would be quite skillful. As for the fate of many others..." said Lu Aiguo with a strange look on his face.

"What is it, Dad? Is there something fishy going on?" Lu Yun’s curiosity intensified.
