“Xiao Lang rarely makes records, let alone an autographed one. This record… It’s priceless.”

Xiao Yeyu was envious.

See? This was one of the benefits for being married to Lu Zhi. It granted one access to an endless network of rich and famous people!

Who from an ordinary family would meet someone at the top of the pyramid like Xiao Lang?

Let alone receive a privately made and autographed record from him?

He must have given Jiang Yining the record because of Lu Zhi!

Therefore, Xiao Yeyu was even more determined to ride Lu Zhi’s coattails. “Wait a minute. Who are you?”

Ye Xiaoxi regained her senses and quickly stood up to snatch the record back. She held it close to her chest while staring vigilantly at the unfamiliar woman in front of her.

Jiang Yining raised her head slightly and asked, “Why are you here?”

“I’m here for classes.” Xiao Yeyu smiled and sat down behind them. “Miss Jiang, I forgot to tell you last time that I’m also a student at Qing University. I just applied to do a double major last week. I came to school today and discovered that my second major is the same as yours. Do you think fate brought us together?”

Jiang Yining didn’t respond to her line of conversation and just said, “Miss Xiao is really young and promising.”

She was still a university student, yet she was already helping her father manage their family business and was even in charge of an entire project.

Xiao Yeyu was not an average person.

“You flatter me. I’m just a small potato. Mr. Lu is the real young and promising one.” Xiao Yeyu praised her husband before revisiting the previous subject, “Miss Jiang, since we are fated to meet again, if you don’t mind, can we be friends?”

Ye Xiaoxi wasn’t familiar with Xiao Yeyu, but since she was pretty and knew Jiang Yining, she chimed in with a smile, “We’re all classmates. Why would we mind? Don’t you think so, Yining?”

Xiao Yeyu’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

Jiang Yining’s eyes met hers. “You can just call me by my name.”

If she was willing to let her call her by her name, did that mean that she had agreed to be friends with her? “Alright, Yining.” She then turned to Ye Xiaoxi and said, “You can call me Yeyu.”

“That’s such a nice name.” Ye Xiaoxi said enviously.

Yeyu in Mandarin meant night rain. It was a very poetic name unlike her unceremonious name, Xiaoxi.

Xiao Yeyu’s smiled with her eyes and appeared very friendly. “My mother gave me this name. I like it too.”

Ye Xiaoxi nodded before she turned to Jiang Yining and whispered, “Yining, are you really going to give me the record?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Yining nodded without hesitation.

“Then I’ll keep it.”

And she would later sell it for a handsome sum of money!

Ye Xiaoxi smiled happily.

Xiao Yeyu overheard their conversation and wanted to ask Ye Xiaoxi if she was willing to sell the record to her, but she held back. She wanted to give Jiang Yining a good impression.

She had bribed a servant from the Lu family with a lot of money for some intel.

It seemed that Lu Zhi doted on Jiang Yining very much.

This woman must have something extraordinary to be able to catch Lu Zhi’s eye.

She must learn from her. Besides, being with her would increase her chances of meeting Lu Zhi.

The three of them were thinking their own thoughts when the bell for class rang.

At the old Lu residence, Lu Zhi explained the whole incident to his grandfather before he put Xu Chengzhi’s photo on the table and said to Old Master Lu, “Grandpa, please go and propose marriage to the Xu family and let Kexin marry Xu Chengzhi.”

“Aren’t you just randomly pairing people up?” Old Master Lu disagreed.

“Before I decided on him, I have already sought his family’s opinion. Their view is that as long as the Lu family agrees, they have no problem taking Kexin in as their Young Madam.” Lu Zhi said coldly.

“That won’t do. Kexin has no feelings for him or them.”

“She has feelings for me. Do you want me to divorce Yining and marry her?”

“No!” Old Master Lu opposed firmly.

“Grandpa, you know what’s going on, right? Aunt Chen and Kexin have been giving Yining a hard time since she married me. If we don’t extinguish their hopes completely, they will continue to make trouble. Marrying Kexin off is the only solution.” Lu Zhi explained calmly.

Old Master Lu frowned as he looked at Xu Chengzhi’s photo and information. “Even if I agree to propose marriage to the Xu family and reach an agreement with them… What can we do if Kexin refuses to marry him?”

“If she refuses, then we’ll kick her out of the Lu residence.” Lu Zhi replied. “I’m finding her a good husband on account of our 20-year-old relationship. If she doesn’t appreciate it, I can only give her the worst option.”

Xu Chengzhi was good-looking and from a good family of similar socioeconomic status.

If Chen Kexin married him, she would live comfortably for the rest of her life.

Lu Zhi had already planned it out for her.

Old Master Lu frowned and said in a deep voice, “Alright, I’ll do it.”

“Yes, thank you for your trouble, Grandpa.”

Old Master Lu looked at his grandson with heartache in his eyes.

How was this a trouble for him? Lu Zhi was the one who took great pains.

Being stuck between both parties, whatever Lu Zhi did would hurt one party.

The only thing he could do was to help Ah Zhi out a little.

After Lu Zhi left, Old Master Lu rushed to the Xu residence to propose marriage.

By the time Old Madam Lu got the news, he and the Xu family had already agreed on an engagement date.

The marriage agreement had also been written.

Old Master Lu had just stepped into the house when Old Madam Lu pounced on him, grabbed his collar, and cursed, “You b*stard! You proposed marriage to the Xu family without asking Kexin? Do you still treat her as a person?”

“It was the mother and daughter who slandered our granddaughter-in-law first. We had no choice but to do this. Besides, how is Xu Chengzhi not worthy of Kexin? He is tall, handsome, humble, and from a good family. He was more than worthy of Kexin!”

Ultimately, Chen Kexin was not a member of the Lu family. She was just the daughter of a wet nurse.

But Xu Chengzhi was a rich second-generation heir!

Putting aside everything else, Kexin marrying Xu Chengzhi was upward social mobility!

Old Master Lu met Xu Chengzhi when he went to the Xu residence today and he was very satisfied with him.

Therefore, he was 100% supportive of Kexin and Xu Chengzhi’s marriage.

“Let go of me.”

Old Master Lu wanted to pull his wife away.

However, Old Madam Lu was adamant. “Go and rescind the marriage proposal.”

“No, I won’t. If you want to do it, do it yourself. Let me put all the cards on the table first. Ah Zhi has already decided to either let Kexin marry Xu Chengzhi or kick her out of the Lu residence. Once you rescind my marriage proposal to the Xu family, Kexin can only move out of the Lu residence.”

“What is he to decide where Kexin lives?” Old Madam Lu asked angrily.

“Because he’s the heir of the Lu family.” Old Master Lu continued angrily, “You can’t protect Kexin forever. Once you are six feet underground, Ah Zhi can still kick her out of the Lu residence! My dear wife, I’d advise you not to spoil Kexin too much. She is good in every way. Her only weakness is her greed for Ah Zhi!” “She covets something that doesn’t belong to her.. This is called overstepping! Ah Zhi had already done his best by finding her a good husband! As his grandmother, are you more muddle-headed than your grandson? Can’t you even understand this?”
