Chapter 18 Dissolution of the engagement
Chapter 18: Dismissal of the engagement (")
Lu family in the capital.
At this moment, several adults of the Lu family are here, including Mr. Lu Qianjun, eldest son Lu Wensong, second son Lu Wenzan, and third son Lu Wenzhi, but his wife Liu Xinping is replaced.
These Lu family members sat together because a guest came to the Lu family today. However, the atmosphere in the hall did not seem harmonious at this moment. Even the old man, who had always been indifferent, looked angry.
The guest was a middle-aged man, in his forties or fifties, with his hair neatly combed, and looked very energetic. At this moment, he sat on the bench on one side, drinking tea on his own, and was afraid to face the Lu family members.
His name is Liu Mobai, who is the father who married Liu Xuefei from the Lu family. This time he came here specifically to withdraw from the marriage.
Not to mention the two elder brothers who have objections to the third brother, even Mr. Lu, who has always been very indifferent to this matter, couldn't help but get angry.
However, as men, they would not put this anger on the surface, but Liu Xinping was not. She was just a woman, and she could do whatever she wanted, not to mention that this was a matter that concerns her son. It was unreasonable that the Liu family could not say anything and leave as soon as they say they wanted.
"Minister Liu, a year ago, the Liu family took the initiative to mention marriage. My son entered the Feilong Training Camp for this reason. He was not sure about his life and death. However, the Liu family wanted to terminate this marriage contract, and he would get married as soon as he said it, and he would get through it. What did the Liu family regard my Lu family as?"
The Lu family members had never cared about fools like Lu Tianfeng, but for a moment, the Lu family was a little embarrassed.
Of course Liu Mobai knew that this was not authentic, so before he came, he had already discussed it with the old man. Now he looked up and looked at the anger of several Lu family members, but smiled faintly, and said embarrassedly: "This matter is indeed a forced one. Luo Jiahao of the Luo family fell in love with my Xuefei and had come to propose marriage. Mr. Lu is also a famous person in the capital. Of course, he knows that my Liu family cannot refuse this."
The Luo family is a first-class family in the capital. The old man of the Luo family is one of the nine core members of the country. The Liu family will not refuse the proposal of the Luo family. When they first married the Lu family, they wanted to unite strongly and enhance the family's strength. But now the Luo family has given such an opportunity. If they give up, it will not be the Liu family.
In fact, let alone the Liu family, even if they encounter it, Mr. Lu would not refuse such a thing. Most of the marriages of the family daughters were originally intended to enhance the strength of the family. As for things like future and happiness, how can they compare with substantial interests?
The Lu family's eldest son, Lu Wensong, was about to speak, but Liu Mobai did not give him a chance. He continued, "In order to express my apology from the Liu family, the Liu family will provide compensation. This year, Governor He from Ning Province will retreat to the second line. The Liu family will help Brother Wensong to seek this position. This is the promise of my old man."
Lu Wensong, who was originally angry, suddenly felt a joy flashing on his face when he heard this. From being a vice governor who was not an executive, he could be promoted to a provincial chief. This is definitely a rare thing. The conditions of the Liu family are indeed very superior.
Liu Xinping was even more angry. Looking at the uncle's expression, she seemed to be moved, and her son would immediately become worthless, but she was also the daughter of a noble family. Of course, she knew that in the eyes of men from these big families, only interests are the guarantee, and giving up a stupid Lu Tianfeng is not a particularly difficult thing.
Even Mr. Lu would not refuse the condition of getting Lu Wensong to be promoted, because in the old man's heart, he has always been very indifferent to Tianfeng. The beginning of this attitude was just to get more compensation.
"The Liu family really had a good idea. Once they were promoted, they slapped the Lu family in the face. In fact, it is not sweet to have sex with men and women, but this time the Liu family is really too bullying." As a mother, she doesn't care about the interests of the family, she will only stand up for her son. The termination of this marriage is the greatest insult to her son.
Liu Mobai looked at Liu Xinping. He understood the woman's mood. No matter what, Lu Tianfeng was also her son, but no matter how he understood, he still wanted to say something: "Three Lady, forgive me for saying something bluntly. When Xuefei said that, she just vented her resentment. She originally did not agree to marry the Lu family. I think you know that with your son's character, you are not worthy of Xuefei no matter what."
After being choked like this, Liu Xinping's face turned red. The Liu family bullied people too much. She stood up and was about to get angry, but the second son Lu Wenzan stopped him and said, "My brother and sister, although Minister Liu is a bit serious, he is indeed not wrong. Everyone in the capital knows about Tianfeng. How can he be worthy of a good girl like Xuefei? Although our Lu family is not a famous family, don't force people to make jokes. Forget about this matter, let's forget it, the old man should have a fair decision."
When her son was humiliated, the Lu family not only did not help but even took advantage of the situation. Looking at the Lu family in front of her, she felt that she shouldn't have come, or she had no intention of marrying the Liu family from the beginning. She also knew how a woman like Liu Xuefei, who was famous in the capital, would like her son? However, the Liu family's approach was indeed too much.
She never thought that she would marry Liu Xuefei, because the Liu family came to her house to say it. Now she would explain it with disdain and give some benefits. Even the Lu family took it for granted, so how could she take her and her husband seriously?
It was at this time that Lu Tianfeng and Lu Zixin walked in.
Lu Tianfeng's appearance shocked everyone. Liu Xinping forgot the humiliation and anger just now, rushed over, pulled Lu Tianfeng's hand, and asked in surprise: "Tianfeng, Tianfeng, is it you? You are back, are you really back?"
This is a very elegant woman with a pretty face and a luxurious woman with the kind of luxury of a wealthy family. This is his mother, the person who cares about him the most in the world.
"Mom, I'm back."
"Mom, brother is back. He has suffered a lot. He hasn't eaten since yesterday. He is very hungry. Let's go home!" Because of the rejection of several uncles, Lu Zixin had no good feelings for the Lu family. She didn't want to stay here for too long. Even after seeing the people in the hall, she didn't go over and greet her.
Mr. Lu and Lu Wensong looked at each other and were shocked. When they entered the Feilong Special Training Camp from Lu Tianfeng, they seemed to be unprepared for him to come back, or even if they came back, they would not come in, but would be carried back.
Liu Mobai was also surprised. His thoughts were the same as those of the Lu family. He did not expect Lu Tianfeng to come back. The reason why he agreed to the Luo family's marriage this time was that if this guy got lucky and got back with a broken arm and little legs, wouldn't he beg his daughter's happiness for the rest of his life? So after discussing, he decided to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Lu Tianfeng is back, and just when he talks about the engagement, it is really embarrassing.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Lu Zixin asked.
When Liu Xinping heard this, she said angrily: "The Liu family came to quit the wedding, saying that your elder brother was not worthy of his daughter. When she saw your elder brother coming back, she was too lazy to argue with them. Let's go and go home." She didn't want to stay in this place anymore, it was very boring.
Lu Wensong stood up at this time, walked over, and looked at Lu Tianfeng very carefully. Lu Tianfeng already knew that this man was his father's elder brother and his uncle, but he did not shout because this uncle who should have loved and protected him had never looked at him with a direct look.
He smiled reluctantly and said, "Tianfeng is back, it's really good. I remember that Feilong Special Training Camp is one year. It's not here yet. It doesn't matter if you pass it. As long as you come back safely."
What does Liu Xinping mean? It means that Lu Tianfeng did not pass the training and did not meet the conditions that Liu Xuefei said at the beginning. It is natural for someone to break the engagement and it is not considered a breach of contract.
Lu Zixin was also very angry when she heard this. She knew everything from beginning to end. Now she also said: "If you break off the engagement, you will get out of the marriage. What's so great? My brother can find a better one in the future. One day the Liu family will regret it."
As soon as these words were said, everyone was very disdainful, especially Liu Mobai. With his daughter's character and appearance, what kind of man should I find? You are an idiot in the Lu family, I regret it.
But as a long-time man, of course he wouldn't care about such a little girl, but pretended to smile, stood up and said, "That's right, that's right, now you are free to fall in love, Tianfeng is also a handsome talent. Since my Xuefei doesn't have any feelings for him, the marriage will be resolved like this. I also believe that Tianfeng can find a better one in the future. Mr. Lu, you have no objection!"
This is even more hypocritical, but he knew that no one in the Lu family had taken the lead. Mr. Lu knew that the matter had reached this point and there was no need to recover it. He nodded and said, "That's it!"
Things seemed to be a foregone conclusion, but no one expected that Lu Tianfeng would speak at this time.
