She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 296 - 295: Her Husband Married Her While Waiting for Another to Transmigrate (7)
"Why did you suddenly come back?"
"You couldn’t make it work after just a month?"
"I told you a marriage alliance isn’t that simple. You must have been wronged." Lu Wangqiu’s voice was neither loud nor soft, echoing in Ah Chen’s ears, "If things really can’t work out, then get a divorce. Our Lu Family isn’t unable to support you. Even though you’re just an adopted daughter of the Lu Family, no one can step over you."
In a short time, Lu Wangqiu had already devised a plan.
Having determined that Yu Xiaoran was likely reborn, he also guessed the other party’s purpose wasn’t it to keep Bai Chen close, so Bai Ying could naturally have the advantage once she arrived? Then he decided to go against their wishes.
Even though he didn’t like Bai Chen’s attitude, he was still looking forward to Bai Ying’s arrival and would tolerate Bai Chen’s demeanor for now. Bringing her back was all that mattered.
Right now, the Yu Family was unstoppable. Since Yu Xiaoran was reborn early, he had already completely controlled the Yu Family, faintly surpassing the Lu Family.
Of course, he was reborn as well, knowing some outcomes, unafraid of Yu Xiaoran. Let’s see who wins Bai Ying’s favor this time.
Lu Wangqiu’s words were overheard by Bai Huimei, who was quite surprised.
She always thought the Lu Family’s two children disliked Chenchen to the point of some aversion, not expecting at this moment he could speak words defending his daughter, which made her somewhat relieved.
Over the years, she had tried her best to take care of these two brothers, not out of overflowing maternal love but mostly for Lu Mingxue’s sake. Lu Mingxue treated her well, respected her, and provided her with a stable place; as a wife, it was only right to do these things.
Except initially, she didn’t expect the two children to be grateful to her anymore, doing these solely because of Lu Mingxue.
Ah Chen noticed Bai Huimei’s relieved gaze but said nothing, even thinking the other’s thoughts were too normal, just what a common person would associate.
Who would have truly guessed Lu Wangqiu’s real intention?
"What is it? Still reluctant to part with Yu Xiaoran?" Lu Wangqiu’s expression was extremely impatient. Facing this stepsister, he indeed couldn’t put on a patient face, talking so much to her just for Bai Ying’s sake.
If not for Bai Ying needing this body in the future, he wouldn’t care about her well-being at all.
Ah Chen said, "It’s not at the point of divorce now."
Given the current situation, it was indeed like this.
In the Commissioner’s other life, Lu Wangqiu should have been reborn as well, leading the Commissioner to think this second older brother looked down on her. Turns out he still considered her family and cared so much about her. Gradually, she genuinely regarded Lu Wangqiu as a true brother.
Actually, her personality developed not just from outside influences but also from two stepbrothers who were always indifferent and rejected her. Initially, it couldn’t be said anyone was at fault; some things cannot be accepted, and everyone has their circumstances.
But later, Lu Wangqiu was reborn, and his interactions with the Commissioner were malicious.
They both had their reasons, while she believed it was sincere. Most people are easily moved by sincerity and willing to reciprocate genuinely. When one day she learns it’s a scam, it’s inevitable to imagine what kind of backlash would occur.
"He doesn’t like you, yet you approach him. I really don’t know what to say about your personality." Lu Wangqiu almost cursed, asking if she was shameless.
After all, he remembered Bai Huimei was still here.
His feelings towards this stepmother were non-favorable but also non-averse.
During childhood, he disliked her, thinking she caused his mom to divorce dad. Later, he realized it wasn’t the case, grew up, and didn’t dwell on this. But calling this stepmother ’mom’ and getting close to her is impossible, especially since she has a daughter like Bai Chen, who is vain and greedy. Dad cares somewhat about the stepmother; if he acts too close to her, fearing she might take it seriously.
This current state suits him well; he detests Bai Chen but is quite satisfied with the stepmother’s sensibility over the years.
As long as she remains proper, everyone can just get along peacefully, and the Lu Family will give her decent treatment.
"He doesn’t dislike me; otherwise, he wouldn’t have actively proposed the marriage alliance. It’s only been a month; feelings need time to develop." Ah Chen said with a gentle smile as if oblivious to Lu Wangqiu’s impatience and annoyance.
She’s not in a hurry. What’s his rush?
Even if he wants her to divorce quickly, right now, neither Yu Xiaoran nor the Yu and Lu Families would want that. Both families are deeply cooperating now, and anyone would stop her at this point.
She’s unaffected and indeed not in a hurry to divorce either.
Lu Wangqiu looked at her disposition, his mind enraged, sometimes truly wanting to say, that Yu Xiaoran wasn’t aiming to build a relationship with her but waiting for Bai Ying to arrive.
This he certainly couldn’t say — not about what Bai Chen’s reaction would be upon learning the truth but with his stepmother still present.
He didn’t fear these two but feared that if they learned the truth, it might bring trouble for Bai Ying, especially if they go crazy and harm Bai Ying.
"Can’t be bothered with you. You’ll learn when you suffer." Lu Wangqiu casually ate some food, then rushed upstairs, but stopped mid-way and turned back, "When you really get bullied at the Yu Family, come back to the Lu Family."
Of course, he hoped Bai Chen could divorce Yu Xiaoran, but since Yu Xiaoran was reborn, with calculated plans to marry her, he certainly wouldn’t let go easily. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
But that doesn’t mean he couldn’t cause some trouble for the other side.
As long as Bai Chen realizes Yu Xiaoran couldn’t possibly truly like her, perhaps she might give up, right? Yet there are so many troubles, imagining it is irritating, why couldn’t he be reborn earlier?
The living room fell silent. Ah Chen sat beside Bai Huimei and watched her knit a scarf.
Bai Huimei suddenly said, "Actually, they might just not know how to express themselves?"
Her heart was indeed quite conflicted because based on various events from the past, Lu Wangqiu didn’t seem like someone who cared about his daughter, yet today’s attitude was somewhat odd, so she could only attribute it to his inability to express.
Ah Chen said, "Or perhaps it’s a mood swing."
Bai Huimei: ...
While thinking of refuting, recalling Lu Wangqiu’s usual haughty behavior, never caring for her daughter, she chose to trust her daughter’s words.
It might truly be a mood swing!
In truth, how could there be no thoughts? She was only an ordinary person, hopeful if the two children of the Lu Family were willing, outside, to give her daughter some face, those mocking voices might diminish, perhaps making the daughter not overly concerned about identity issues. She couldn’t bring up the matter to Lu Mingxue because his relationship with the two kids was much worse, downright hostile.
Now they’re older; the three of them don’t argue like before, when even a slight issue would cause a ruckus.
Of course, mostly it was Lu Wangqiu arguing with Lu Mingxue.
Lu Fengqiu was more of a quiet person, so quiet he could go all day without speaking.
Even now, the three father-son relationships remain quite delicate.
If she were to ask Lu Mingxue to let the two kids take care of her daughter, the pair might resent the mother and daughter more, causing unrest in the household.
