The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 787 - 235: Lu Jingchen’s Father Seeks Out Song Qiao_2
Xu Qian had just come downstairs when she saw Lu Tianming in a rage. She was surprised, as her husband had been in a good mood for some time, and she couldn’t understand what had upset him today.
However, when she entered the living room and caught sight of the news broadcast on the TV, she instantly understood what was going on.
Seeing the shattered pieces of the cup on the floor and the spilled tea, she was suddenly reminded of the last time Song Qiao had stood up to prevent her son from getting hurt and had injured her own back. A strange emotion surged within her, an emotion related to Song Qiao.
She called a servant to clean up the mess and then sat down next to Lu Tianming. Her gaze fell on a photo on the TV that was zoomed in on Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao, exchanging rings. She couldn’t help but sigh and said to Lu Tianming, "Our child has grown up. Now that he is married, even if you dislike his wife, you are powerless. Do you really intend to use forceful measures to drive this child away?"
When Lu Tianming heard his wife’s words, there was no softening in his stance. He snorted coldly and said in a frigid tone, "The only daughter-in-law recognized by Lu Tianming is that girl from the Yu Family. What is this? She is not worthy of the Lu Family in any aspect. If Jingchen really insists on opposing me, I do not mind taking some action."
Zuo Yuqing was a case in point.
No matter how much his son had liked Zuo Yuqing back then, in the end, she was driven away by his scheming. Although Lu Jingchen was heartbroken for a while, at least he was his son and recovered over time.
Lu Tianming certainly felt that the tactics he had used against Zuo Yuqing would not differ when applied to Song Qiao.
Xu Qian looked at the husband she had shared a bed with for decades and suddenly felt like he was a stranger. For a moment, she was even lost. Did her husband really have their son’s happiness in mind when he acted this way?
In today’s society, while there is still an emphasis on matched social status, isn’t free love also supported?
Everyone is equal. For her son, finding a woman of equal status is not easy. The young lady from the Yu Family may be good, but Xu Qian could tell that she did not like her son.
Two people without feelings for each other forming a family is not only their own unhappiness but also a curse for their descendants.
For the sake of her son’s happiness, Xu Qian thought for a while and then continued, "But you also know what kind of person our son is. If you force him now, and he never comes home again in the future, what will you do then?"
Despite Lu Tianming’s severity, due to having only one son, the stubborn old man still held many hopes for his child in his heart.
That’s why he still won’t give in an inch on his son’s marriage now.
Lu Tianming’s expression darkened, but he could not deny that everything his wife said was true. He knew his son’s temperament all too well; it was precisely because of his clear understanding that he had not yet taken extreme measures.
For instance, after he had driven away Jingchen’s girlfriend, Zuo Yuqing, back in the day, Lu Jingchen hadn’t returned to the house for many years. And even when he did, he would not spend the night.
This had resulted in an increasingly bitter relationship between father and son.
But Lu Tianming, who has always been domineering, was still unyielding. He spoke in a cold voice, "If I had to choose now between Song Qiao and Zuo Yuqing, I would rather have Zuo Yuqing marry Jingchen."
Xu Qian, "..." Her husband’s thoughts were indeed beyond her prediction.
What on earth was going on? Between Zuo Yuqing and Song Qiao, he actually chose the former.
Has he forgotten that back in the day, he was adamantly against Zuo Yuqing entering the Lu Family?
However, Xu Qian did not say anything more, only sitting silently to the side.
After all, she knew that no matter what she said now, it would not help.
As for her husband, with whom she had shared a bed for over a decade, she knew his stubbornness better than anyone; once he made up his mind, not even ten oxen could pull him back.
...
Song Qiao had been at work all morning and felt uncomfortable all over. Whether she was in the office or even just going to the restroom, she felt people looking at her with strange glances.
Moreover, those in the office who used to have a poor relationship with her or even did not get along now greeted her with smiles, making her skin crawl beyond measure.
She finally made it to the end of the workday, and Lu An’an was not in the company, as she had an artist who needed to shoot an advertisement.
Just as she was packing up, her cell phone rang. She took out the phone and saw it was an unknown number, but she slid the answer button and put it to her ear, "Hello, this is Song Qiao speaking!"
"Miss Song, good day. I am the butler of the Lu Family," came the voice from the other end of the phone.
Song Qiao froze immediately, not expecting it to be the Lu Family’s butler who was calling. With a slight frown, she asked, "May I ask what it’s about?"
The person on the other end spoke in a fairly gentle tone, explaining, "The thing is, our master would like to meet with Miss Song. Do you have any time available now?"
