Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 261 Let’s Get Married

Major newspapers and magazines began to comment on the news of Lu Boyan’s acquisition of his in-law’s company.

Some say that Su Jianan had already renounced her daughter-father relationship with Su Hongyuan. It was simply a business war which was not related to the in-law relationship.

Others also said that Jiang Xueli’s interview with the TV station and her smearing remarks toward Su Jianan regarding Su Yuanyuan’s murder case had agitated Lu Boyan, who was now teaching Jiang Xueli a lesson.

Su Hongyuan was also discharged from the hospital on the day of Su Yuanyuan’s funeral. In a blink of time, the man who once dominated the business industry seemed to have aged years. He was not active in combating Lu Enterprise’s acquisition.

So people continued on to guess. Since Su Yuanyuan was no longer alive, Su Hongyuan was out of successor. He was trying to pass on his inheritance to his only daughter in disguise.

At the same time, there were rumors of Jiang Xueli seeking a divorce with Su Hongyuan and saying that it was necessary to take advantage of the Su Enterprise while it had not yet fallen into the hands of others. She wanted a divorce while Su Hongyuan still had a property to be divided. Otherwise, she would not be able to get anything after a while.

Lu Boyan had always paid attention to financial news such that at home, several newspapers would be updated every day. Therefore, Su Jianan had read more or less news from different sections of the newspaper. She just felt bitterly disappointed for Su Hongyuan.

She said to Lu Boyan, “if it were my mother, she would not seek divorce at this time even if they were out of love.”

Because her mother had loved Su Hongyuan deeply. Even if there was no more love, she would still stay with Su Hongyuan during the difficult times for they had once loved.

She looked at Lu Boyan half-jokingly and half-heartedly. “If one day, you have nothing left, I will learn from Jiang Xueli and abandon you to save myself!”

Su Jianan ran away after she finished speaking. Lu Boyan did not even take her words to heart.

Two days later, Mrs. Luo’s condition had completely stabilized and she was transferred from the intensive care unit to a general ward.

Exhilarated, Luo Xiaoxi especially left work one hour earlier. She ordered a lot of Lao Luo and her mom’s favorite dishes from the hotel and brought them to the hospital. The smell of the food completely suppressed the smell of disinfectant in the ward.

She took a bite of each dish then nodded and said, “The chefs nowadays are getting less and less mindful. The taste is getting less authentic every day. Lao Luo, if you don’t wake up soon, you might never taste the authentic food again.”

As for her mother, Xiaoxi changed her tactics. “Ms. Zhou, aren’t you most afraid of getting old? You can’t do a beauty spa or use skin care products just by lying here. Your skin is aging day after day. Why don’t you wake up and stop such horrible things from happening?”

She had been speaking the whole time while she was eating, until the food piled up to her throat. Yet Lao Luo and Ms. Zhou made no reaction at all from their beds.

Luo Xiaoxi’s eyes reddened uncontrollably, but she still tried to lift her lips. “You guys must want to rest for another day, right? Well then, I’ll stop annoying you guys.”

She lowered her head and started to gulp.

“Xiaoxi.” Qin Wei sat on the opposite side, looking distressed. “Don’t do this.”

Luo Xiaoxi shrugged her shoulders, her eyes were red but she smiled heartlessly. “I’m not doing anything.”

On the next day, Luo Xiaoxi tried to contact the British company. The other party decided not to consider cooperation with Luo Enterprise given the current unstable situation.

Despite Luo Xiaoxi’s efforts and preparations, the other party denied Luo Enterprise due to the company’s new leader, and it almost made Luo Xiaoxi collapse.

News like this could not be concealed. Some people secretly worried for Luo Xiaoxi, while others waited to see Luo Xiaoxi’s arrogance extinguished.

This day, Luo Xiaoxi fell in a terrible mood and began to complain as soon as she arrived at the hospital after work.

“Director Han and the old guys were waiting to see my jokes and hoping that I would fail, I knew it.”

“Lao Luo, although you often scolded me, now, I realized you are the kindest!”

“If only I had listened to you and married Qin Wei. Then you would not… Lao Luo! Dad!”

Just a second ago, Lao Luo’s fingers moved when she mentioned marrying Qin Wei.

As if her heart had been hit by something heavy, she gazed emptily for a second before she got up and rushed out of the ward to find a doctor. She said ecstatically, “my father’s hand just moved a moment ago! Is he going to wake up?”

Several experts poured into the ward to check while Luo Xiaoxi waited anxiously with her hands tightly twisted together.

At this time, her heart felt bitten by a million ants and she couldn’t wait until the next second to hear that familiar voice of Lao Luo calling her name.

“Miss Luo, it’s just a nerve reflex.”

The doctor’s words extinguished the hope in Luo Xiaoxi’s heart.

After the doctors left, the ward fell silent for a long time. Luo Xiaoxi finally forced a smile. “It’s alright. Lao Luo, I know you must be able to hear me, as long as you can hear me…”

Another day had past, Luo Xiaoxi got tired of repeating the same thing to Lao Luo over and over again. Instead, she began reading the newspaper to him.

She still remembered that Lao Luo always read the newspaper during breakfast every day. He didn’t care for civil gossip; he was only concerned about finance. So she only read the news from the finance section.

The newspaper just covered a report on the Qin Group and mentioned Qin Wei’s name. Luo Xiaoxi noticed that whenever she read the name “Qin Wei”, Lao Luo’s hand would twitch once.

She set aside the newspaper and moved closer to the bed. “Dad, can you hear me? Can you move fingers again for me?”

“…” There was no response.

Luo Xiaoxi became anxious. “Lao Luo, I’ll let Qin Wei come to visit you!”

“…”

There was still no response; the hope in her heart was extinguished again.

Luo Xiaoxi fell in decadence. She closed her eyes and the darkness before her eyes gushed up like a tide, drawing her into the wave.

The rims of her eyes felt warm, but she could only hold back the tears.

Two minutes later, Luo Xiaoxi suddenly opened her eyes, and her gaze no longer reflected decadency. Instead, it looked firmly determined.

She could not give up or feel despair at this time. Otherwise, she would really lose.

The next day early morning, she saw Su Yicheng downstairs of the hospital.

Why was he at the hospital? Was he sick again?

Her heart felt firmly gripped by a hand, but when she took a closer look, she noticed Su Yicheng was dressed in suits. He didn’t look sick; rather, he seemed to be waiting here.

The hand which gripped on Luo Xiaoxi’s heart let go as she looked away from Su Yicheng and walked another way.

Su Yicheng marched up to her in a few steps and grabbed her hand.

“Let go.” Luo Xiaoxi said coldly, “it’ll be bad if my fiance saw it.”

A layer of frost quickly loomed over Su Yicheng’s eyes. “Fiance?”

He had only gone to the UK briefly. After the plane landed back home, he came directly to the hospital from the airport. Since when did Luo Xiaoxi get a fiance?

Luo Xiaoxi dared not to confront Su Yicheng.

It turned out that after all the unexpected things she had faced and accepted during this time, she still did not learn much.

“Look at me!” Su Yicheng suddenly pulled her into his arms violently. “Who is your fiance?”

Luo Xiaoxi’s eyes emitted a touch of fear. “What do you want?”

“What are you afraid of?” Su Yicheng smiled. “Everyone knows murder is illegal. I won’t kill him.”

This was the truly horrifying sentence. At this time, Su Yicheng looked truly scary that chills were running up the back of Luo Xiaoxi…

“Let go of her!”

Qin Wei appeared with a sullen look, but Su Yicheng was deaf to his words. The smile on his lips turned cold. “Is he your fiance?”

“Why can’t he be?” Luo Xiaoxi smiled with great satisfaction. “I think he is much better than you, in every aspect.” She emphasized on the latter part.

Sure enough, Su Yicheng’s face instantly fell gloomy. She took the opportunity to break free from his restraint and dragged Qin Wei away.

Once they got in the car, Qin Wei commented half jokingly and halfheartedly “I know you wanted to graciously walk away from Su Yicheng. But in my opinion, you were merely running away.”

Luo Xiaoxi opened the window irritably and turned away her head. “I guess you can’t appreciate my posture!”

Qin Wei smiled. “What fiance was he talking about?”

Luo Xiaoxi’s eyelashes flipped down, “… I will tell you at night. After work, come to the hospital with me. Just think of it as… visiting my dad.”

Qin Wei could not guess what Luo Xiaoxi was up to and shrugged his shoulders. “I’m all yours.”

When they returned to the hospital in the evening, Luo Xiaoxi said to Qin Wei, “I discovered that whenever I mention you, my father will respond to me.”

Puzzled, Qin Wei asked, “so?”

Luo Xiaoxi grabbed Qin Wei’s hand and walked into the ward with him to sit down beside Lao Luo’s bed. She solemnly said to Lao Luo, “Dad, I thought it through, you were right. I am willing to marry Qin Wei.”

A white light flashed across in Qin Wei’s head and before he could respond, Luo Xiaoxi let go of his hand and said ecstatically, “look, my dad’s hand is moving!”

Indeed, as Luo Xiaoxi finished speaking, Lao Luo’s fingers twitched twice and stopped.

“My dad must be able to hear me!” Luo Xiaoxi’s excitement grew. “Qin Wei, he must be able to hear me!”

A ball of tangled mess in Qin Wei’s head made his mind more complicated than ever. “Xiaoxi, are you… serious?”

Luo Xiaoxi just remembered to talk to Qin Wei about it in detail and headed to the balcony.

“Qin Wei, I had said a lot of things to hurt you before, I apologize.” She looked at Qin Wei and asked, “are… are you willing to marry me?”

Qin Wei smiled and shook his head.

“…”

After a while, Qin Wei said, “Xiaoxi, this is not a question whether I am still willing or not. It is a question of whether you are willing or not.”

“I am willing!” Without a second of hesitation, Luo Xiaoxi answered decisively.

“Let me ask you, when I shook my head earlier, were you sad?”

“…” Luo Xiaoxi did not know how to respond.

“You were definitely not sad at all.” Qin Wei smiled bitterly. “You only felt surprised. Your head went blank for a moment, and then it didn’t matter to you, right? Because you don’t love me. Xiaoxi, you have to admit it, no matter how much you hate Su Yicheng right now, you still love him after all. Don’t be silly, you will not be happy if you marry me.”

“… I admit, I still love Su Yicheng.” Luo Xiaoxi lowered her head. “But he and I will never be together, and I will definitely not marry him.”

After a pause, Luo Xiaoxi’s gaze became apologetic. “Qin Wei, I’m sorry, I’m too selfish. I just decided to marry you at this time. I cannot become a qualified wife at all. You should just… take it as a joke.”

Luo Xiaoxi turned around to return to the ward, but Qin Wei grabbed her hand from behind.

“Xiaoxi, have you thought it through, and are you willing to marry me?”

“… Yes.”

Before the car accident, what Lao Luo wanted the most was for her and Qin Wei to get married. Yet, she did not listen to him.

If she got married to Qin Wei now, perhaps Lao Luo would be happy and decided to wake up?

No matter what… she and Su Yicheng could never be together.

Then it wouldn’t matter to her whose name appeared in the spouse column.

“OK.” Qin Wei said, “I will pick you up tomorrow morning, and we will go get the marriage certificate.”
