Chapter 917 - 910: The King of Jealousy is Overwhelmed
Old Mrs. Lu’s face, which had been twisted up before, changed immediately when she heard how Yu Bin addressed the Leng Family. She stared wide‑eyed at him, a little disbelieving, and asked, "What did you just call them?"
Yu Bin answered honestly, "Uncle, cousin, sister‑in‑law."
After confirming his answer, the old lady asked again, "Then what’s your relationship with the Leng Family?"
Yu Bin chuckled, "My mom’s surname is Xu, she’s Uncle’s ex‑wife’s younger sister."
From the moment Yu Bin walked in, Luna’s expression had gone bad. No one knew better than Luna who his mother was. Back when she and Leng Liewei had just returned to the country, that Xu Juan had shown up caked in makeup, thinking she was some great beauty, trying to seduce Leng Liewei into rekindling their old flame.
Who would’ve thought, Xu Juan was still so shamelessly everywhere. She must’ve somehow gotten wind of this blind date cocktail party, and directly changed tactics, wanting to marry into the Lu Family to use them as a bridge to cling onto the Leng Family again!
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Lu’s eyes darted around quickly, and in the end she turned to look at Luna, wanting to confirm whether Yu Bin was telling the truth or not.
Luna helplessly nodded to the old lady, confirming what Yu Bin said.
Now the old lady was delighted. She of course didn’t know that Yu Bin and Xu Juan had long been snubbed by the Leng Family. What she was thinking was: no matter how good those other rich young masters outside are, they can’t compare to directly marrying into the imperial clan!
Granted, this did have a bit of "relatives marrying relatives" flavor to it, and people might gossip if it got out. But so what if they gossip, it’s not like it’ll cost her a piece of flesh. Lu Zitong marrying well is what really matters.
Besides, judging from the two of them acting all shy and awkward, they’d probably already slept together. Otherwise, how would they both come back reeking of alcohol?
Old Mrs. Lu was secretly thrilled, thinking Lu Zitong had finally picked the right man this time. On the surface, though, she still kept up her elder’s authority. "You two, come with me. I have some things I need to ask you properly."
With that, the old lady headed toward her own room.
Lu Zitong shyly glanced at Yu Bin, her eyes full of that sweetness of someone immersed in love. She nudged Yu Bin. He chuckled, and the two of them followed right behind Old Mrs. Lu upstairs, shoulder to shoulder.
Luna looked at the old lady’s attitude and couldn’t even be bothered to tell her the real situation of Yu Bin’s family. Anyway, the rice was already cooked into a meal; she didn’t like either Lu Zitong or Yu Bin, so they could do whatever they wanted!
Thinking this, Luna pushed Leng Liewei—whose face had gone dark the moment he saw Yu Bin—back into their room.
Leng Yichen glanced at Bai Yiran and found his little wife’s eyes gleaming with mischief. He reached out and hooked a finger under her chin. "You knew all along?"
Bai Yiran pouted, looking like she neither admitted nor denied it.
Leng Yichen laughed. His little wife was really cunning; how did he not notice when he married her back then?
Each carrying one child, the two of them went upstairs. After coaxing the kids to sleep, they returned to their own bedroom.
As soon as they walked in, Leng Yichen directly pulled Bai Yiran into his arms, his voice low and hoarse, tinged with sexiness. "You know, I just love watching you scheme against people."
Bai Yiran leaned against his chest and shot him a glare. "You make it sound like I’m some super devious mastermind."
Leng Yichen scooped her up in a bridal carry. She was still wearing the evening gown from the cocktail party, the long hem spilling down like a mermaid’s tail.
He slowly laid her on the bed and carefully leaned over her. "I heard about what happened upstairs today. Yin Tianshen and Qiu Zi—that was your doing too?"
Bai Yiran lifted her head and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "If I don’t hurry up and settle Yin Tianshen’s lifelong marriage issue, how am I supposed to be friends with him in peace? Otherwise, wouldn’t you, King of Jealousy, get sour to death?"
