Chapter 345: I Can Hand Over the Lu Family

Chapter 345: Chapter 345: I Can Hand Over the Lu Family

"Just leave this money for him as startup capital. Without any power or influence behind him, his unreliable sister is all he has. I also wanted to see how far he could go; sadly, I can’t anymore."

Da Shachun felt somewhat wistful.

This might have been the only tender sentiment Jiang Nanshu ever held.

But, it was also a good thing.

The old Jiang Nanshu wouldn’t have cared about anyone else’s life or death, but now he had started to consider others.

Perhaps this was what their Lord Main God had talked about.

Allow her to feel kinship and love, to lower her blackening value and her harmfulness to society, and if she still insisted on going back in the end, then let her go.

Jiang Nanshu’s phone rang.

It was a message from Jiang Leyi.

It said, Chu Muxi had been bailed out by her biological mother, Chu Xin, who had now arrived in Beijing.

And Su Ran was also in Beijing.

Zhou Yanbai was still in Port City. The business he had just inherited was under pressure from all sides, hardly off the ground yet, leaving him no time to accompany Su Ran.

Jiang Nanshu shook the bottle with the powder again.

She was ready!

...

At this moment, in the 888 VIP room of Night Bar.

The dim light was on. Su Ran leaned on her slightly bulging stomach with her eyes brimming with tears as she stared at Liang Ciqiu.

The man was lounging with his legs crossed, sinking into the leather sofa, a cigar lit in his hand, the smoke making Su Ran cough slightly.

Hearing her cough, he finally extinguished the cigar.

He watched her with a somber expression.

"Ranran, repeat what you just said."

Su Ran bit her lip, thinking of Zhou Yanbai’s instructions.

He was struggling in Port City and set his sights on the Lu Family. As long as she could successfully enter the Lu Family, steal their secrets for him, and help him become the wealthiest man in Hua Country, he would marry her, and the child in her womb would be the next heir to the Zhou Family.

It was hard for Su Ran not to be moved.

She didn’t love Zhou Yanbai, but she loved money and power.

To her, love was worth nothing.

She must have had her head kicked by a donkey before, thinking about trapping a man.

Su Ran took a deep breath, her voice full of tears, "Brother Ci Qiu, I’m pregnant, I don’t know what to do, please help me. I can’t make it in the entertainment industry anymore, I can’t even take good care of this child if I keep it. I don’t even know who the father is, the doctor said I can’t get an abortion, my poor health might lead to heavy bleeding, it might be hard for me to get pregnant again in the future."

"What do you want me to do?" Liang Ciqiu couldn’t help but let his gaze fall on Su Ran’s stomach.

Was this child his?

Su Ran still found it hard to speak, but when faced with the choice of climbing higher or going back to marry some old man, she hesitated not a moment to choose the former.

"I love Qingyan, I really do love him. He had promised me clearly that he would be with me after graduation, but he went back on his word. I’ve come back, and he has someone new by his side. Brother Ci Qiu, help me, I only want Lu Qingyan, can you help me get him?"

Liang Ciqiu looked at her in disbelief, "Are you crazy? You want to marry Lu Qingyan with this child?"

Su Ran bit her lip, her hands clenched tightly, "I have no choice, a child needs a father. Why can’t it be the man I love?"

Liang Ciqiu: "..."

Do you really have to bring other people shame?

He scoffed coldly, "Your child is already over two months. You think you can hide that from him? Don’t be foolish, Ranran."

"I can fake the child being premature, as long as you help me, there won’t be any problems..."

Liang Ciqiu took a deep breath and finally admitted, "The child is mine, the person that night, it was me."

"What?" Su Ran was shocked, looking at him, "How could..."

Liang Ciqiu pursed his lips, "That night you were drunk and mistook me for Lu Qingyan, and I couldn’t resist, and just like that, you and I..."

He took a deep breath, his tone serious, "I admit, it was my fault for not telling you because of my cowardice. Your predicament, I will help you resolve it, there’s no need to look for Lu Qingyan."

Su Ran was stunned. Although Liang Ciqiu was not bad, the task Zhou Yanbai had given her was Lu Qingyan.

"Why, why would you do this to me?" Su Ran immediately burst into tears, "I’ve always regarded you as my brother. How am I supposed to face you now? I don’t love you at all, I have someone I like, and when the child is born, do you want him to bear a father with a murderous reputation? He will face discrimination in society!"

Liang Ciqiu’s expression drastically changed.

The accidental killing of Madam Cheng was like a thorn in his heart.

Su Ran distanced herself from him, and he accepted that.

But why should she speak of him like this?

For whom had he ended up in such a state?

Liang Ciqiu clenched his teeth; he really wanted to ask Su Ran if she had any conscience at all. After all the twists and turns, she wasn’t actually looking for the child’s father; her initial goal was Lu Qingyan.

Seeing his unhappy expression, Su Ran, fearing to anger him, softened her tone a bit, "Brother Ci Qiu, I know you’re unwilling to accept your illegitimate status; you’re so outstanding, why should you submit to others? I can help you, I love Qingyan, but the child is yours. If the child inherits from the Lu Family, wouldn’t it mean your own son got the Lu Family? Brother Ci Qiu, as long as you’re willing to help me, I can hand over the Lu Family to you."

Liang Ciqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering the feasibility of her proposition.

However, letting his own child inherit the Lu Family was quite an attractive prospect. As for Su Ran, his feelings for her had been exhausted by her consecutive manipulative acts.

Liang Ciqiu sneered.

Lu Qingyan loved his fiancée so much, right? He’d rather forgo a contract worth hundreds of millions to rush to Port City; he wanted to see if his love was truly indestructible.

Would Jiang Nanshu still want him if he had relations with another woman before that?

Liang Ciqiu narrowed his eyes and chuckled lowly, "Ranran, then I wish you success here, I will arrange everything for Lu Qingyan’s birthday banquet in four days. Whether you can seize the opportunity is up to you."

Su Ran’s expression brightened, "Really? I will definitely hold on to Qingyan, I’m willing to die just to be with him, thank you, Brother Ci Qiu."

Liang Ciqiu watched her ecstatic expression, suppressing the urge to vomit.

Such trash, he must have been blind to have ever liked her.

He slightly curved his lips, just waiting for the drama to unfold.

...

Meanwhile, at the same time, at the Chu Family.

Mrs. Jiang was pacing in front of the entrance to the Chu Family villa. Her hair was somewhat disheveled, and her clothes were wrinkled, clearly not changed for several days.

She swallowed her pride and pleaded with the doorman, "Please, let Xixi see me. I’m her mother, just tell her, and she will let me in."

The doorman looked at Mrs. Jiang with disdain.

Lifting his head haughtily, he said, "Our young miss said, if you want food don’t come to the Chu Family’s door. She has only one biological mother, our madam. If you don’t leave and keep bothering our young miss, we will have to take action."

Mrs. Jiang shook her head in disbelief.

How could this be... Xixi used to cling to her, how could she have changed? It must be Chu Xin who has locked her up.

Thinking this, she anxiously called out, "Xixi, Xixi, come see your mom, I’ll take you away, Xixi."

As the doorman saw her persisting, just about to take action, the mansion gates opened.

Chu Muxi, dressed in a high-end Chanel-style suit, frowned as she looked at the grimy Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang’s eyes lit up at the sight of her, "Xixi, mom has come to take you."

Chu Muxi scoffed, glancing at her sideways, her eyes full of disdain, "My mother should be the esteemed Lady of the Jiang Family, not some divorced, penniless outcast like you. Get lost, my real mother is Chu Xin; I don’t have a poor mother like you."
