Chapter 257: Find Zhou Heng’s Biological Granddaughter If You Can

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

When Song Jin had praised Ning Qing in the living room, Song Yajing could still regard his words as polite conversation, but she was very surprised that her eldest brother had used the phrase “very good” in private.

“Big brother, let me tell you that I am very unhappy with Ning Qing. First, she has a bad background. Second, Shaoming is very affectionate with her, which is not good for a man.”

Song Jin smoked a cigar and flicked the ashes with one hand outside the window. “Sister, you’ve already been back for some days. You’ve had some contact with Ning Qing and Shaoming. What’s the result?”

Speaking of this, Song Yajing was not very happy. She did not speak.

“You’ve never won, have you? Look, you can’t beat Shaoming now, or even Ning Qing. I think Dinghua’s heart is biased towards your daughter-in-law, so keep your dissatisfaction to yourself in the future, because the entire Lu family will ignore it.”

Song Yajing froze, showing some panic.

“Sister, actually, women at every stage should have their specific mission. At your age, you have to understand that the mother’s status rises with the son; the better Shaoming is in the future, the better off you will be. Shaoming’s affection for Ning Qing is so deep that no one in T City is unaware of it. I think that only you don’t know about it. Don’t let the incident at the Ou family charity dinner happen again. You give yourself your own status.”

“Brother, I see.” Song Yajing nodded.

“Alright.” Only then did Song Jin showed a satisfied look, “Sister, we have survived the storms all these years as brother and sister; when has Big Brother ever steered you wrong? Big brother always judges people very accurately, this Ning Qing, I think she’s good.”

Song Yajing’s pupils shrank slightly, and she looked at her eldest brother in perplexity.

Song Jin continued with his cigar in his mouth. “I’ve been standing at the gate for a long time. What kind of goods are the mother and daughter pair from the Zhou family? Can’t you see that the Zhou family of the world’s winery king is in decline? It’s no surprise though, Zhou Heng started from scratch and only got a daughter when he was middle-aged. She was the apple of his eye and had inherited Zhou Heng’s talent in red winemaking. At the age of three, she could taste the ingredients in the red wine. At the age of six, she had made her first bottle of wine, which shocked the red wine industry. Unfortunately, there was an unexpected situation in the red wine industry. That daughter was seven years old when she got lost in the streets of the United States, and she has never been found.

“What’s the use of Zhou Heng’s adopted son? He’s useless. I saw Kong Lan and Zhou Zhilei just now. They are but mediocre women. Zhou Yuanda, Zhou Zhilei’s brother, is a genius though. Unfortunately, he’s a genius in the medical field. I can’t understand what you really like about the Zhou family.”

Song Yajing couldn’t speak. She was a woman, and naturally, she didn’t see the problem as deeply as a man.

After he had finished smoking a cigar, Song Jin snuffed it out in the car’s ashtray. He brushed at his clothes and looked at Song Yajing. “Alright, go back, sister. Remember, it was not easy for you to settle down in the position of the owner and mother of the Lu family all these years. Don’t destroy yourself again. Also, don’t think about that Zhou Zhilei; find Zhou Heng’s biological granddaughter if you can.”

The limousine sped away.

…

The elders had all left, and the servants were cleaning the villa. Lu Shaoming took Ning Qing’s little hand. “Dad, Mom, we’re going to go home.”

Song Yajing was quiet after Song Jin’s suggestion. Lu Dinghua laughed and said, “Shaoming, do you remember your mother’s birthday?”

Birthday?

Lu Shaoming looked at Song Yajing, who was also stunned. The Lu family never celebrated birthdays. They were very surprised and wondered about Lu Dinghua’s intentions at the moment.

“Yes, it’s Mom’s birthday in half a month,” Lu Shaoming answered.

Lu Dinghua patted Lu Shaoming on the shoulder and said with relief, “Fellow, so you still remember your mother’s birthday? I thought you had a wife and had forgotten your mother. How about this: This is also the first birthday of your mother after we have welcomed a daughter-in-law into the Lu family. Let Ning Qing plan the birthday banquet.”

Lu Shaoming frowned and disagreed. “Dad, Ning Qing has been pregnant for four and a half months…”

Ning Qing’s eyes shone and she quickly opened her mouth to interrupt Lu Shaoming. She laughed and said, “Dad, Mom, thank you for trusting me so much and handing me such an important task, but… I’ve just entered into the Lu family not long ago, and it’s my first time hosting such a large banquet. I am afraid that my experience will be insufficient and would not be thoughtful enough. It might aggrieve Mom.”

Lu Dinghua looked at Ning Qing with a smile. Good gal; she had asked him for amnesty order before things started.

She thinks fast.

“Ning Qing, be it a big or small banquet, it’s still your good intentions as a daughter-in-law. Besides, your mother will still be happy.”

“Well, then I shall accept the task. Dad and Mom, you can rest assured that in half a month, I will have planned a beautiful birthday banquet for Mom.”

“Alright,” Lu Dinghua glanced at Lu Shaoming. “Look, your wife is better than you. Ning Qing, I will have the housekeeper help you with this banquet. The banquet is not so easy to plan. There will be many trivial things. Come home tomorrow; I will let the housekeeper teach you the process.”

“Ok. Thank you, Dad.”

…

They left the Lu family home. They had not driven today. Lu Shaoming took Ning Qing’s little hand as they strolled along.

Summer nights were the busiest. There was a noisy crowd among the neon car lights in the city. Everyone was joking and laughing, and it was a bustling scene.

The small hand in his palm was soft and boneless. Lu Shaoming couldn’t resist it. He gently squeezed it and looked sideways. There were square bricks with crosses laid under their feet. The girl was in a good mood and was jumping around on the square bricks.

It was very childish.

“Ning Qing, don’t jump, be careful of our Little Master Lu.” The man was full of tenderness and wondered if all pregnant women were like her. Jumping around and were full of energy. Worrying him all the time.

“Hubby, it’s okay. I didn’t jump hard. The doctor said that pregnant women should exercise in moderation,” Ning Qing said with a sweet smile.

Lu Shaoming had no choice but to put one hand in his pocket while indulging her.

At this time, there were pedestrians walking by the roadside, and people all looked over. The man was too dazzling. He wore a light blue shirt, brown skinny trousers, and through his thin shirt, they could almost feel his strong shoulder blades. His two proud legs were covered by fashionable pants, and they swung around a little languidly and calmly; The scent of 1982 Chateau Lafite emanated from him; it was a strong mature man’s scent.

And the girl he was holding looked extremely young. Her little face that had been moisturized was covered with a layer of a healthy pink — definitely a young girl.

The passers-by understood that in a couple with an old husband, the man was bound to pamper his young wife more than usual.

“Hubby, I know why you had found Song Jin now. This is indeed a good plan to kill two birds with one stone. Firstly, it is to pave the way for my career. Secondly, it is to suppress mom. I see that my mother is very dependent on Uncle’s advice and was very obedient. Everyone has their vanquisher in this world indeed.”

Lu Shaoming grinned. That night she had said she would attend the family dinner. He had listened to her.

Since she was coming, he had to plan for her.

Without full assurance, he would not take her back to the Lu family.

“Yes,” Lu Shaoming reached out and caressed the girl’s little head like a pet he loved. “Although I had found Song Jin, Wifey is the one with skills and could convince Song Jin.”

After being praised, Ning Qing stopped jumping about. She smiled like a flower blooming. Two slender arms hooked his arm, and she leaned her little head on his shoulder. She squinted proudly and said, “That’s expected. Who’s your wife?”

After the exercise, the girl’s sparse and tidy fringe was stuck to her forehead, and there were glittering beads of sweat on the dainty tip of her nose.

Lu Shaoming held her in his arms, took out his big palm from his trousers pocket, and gently wiped the sweat away for her. He gently pampered her. “Yes, the woman that I, Lu Shaoming likes is really skilled.”

Ning Qing giggled and laughed very happily.

“Ning Qing, why did you promise to plan the birthday banquet? You’re pregnant now, and you shouldn’t exert yourself too much.”

When the man spoke, he rubbed his firm jaw against her bright forehead. His soft enticing voice resonated in her ears, and Ning Qing narrowed her eyes in pleasure.

“Hubby, I have officially entered the Lu family after today’s family dinner. Dad had asked me to plan the birthday banquet; it was equivalent to telling the world that I am the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. That’s a good thing. Moreover, with Dad’s amnesty order, mom won’t dare to be fussy and embarrass me.”

That day, Lu Dinghua had said that he would test her when they were at the studio. She knew she had succeeded today.

This birthday banquet was the second test. If she succeeded again, she would really be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family.

“Yes,” Lu Shaoming looked down and kissed her on the forehead. “Mom dares not embarrass you with me around.”

Ning Qing lifted her little head when she heard his words. Her sparkling autumn pupils looked at him beautifully. “Hubby, I can control Mom by myself. Don’t cause me any trouble. Do you know that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies, because they both love the man at the same time? If you are biased towards me at this time, it is equivalent to letting me become a thorn in the eyes of Mom. Hubby, don’t be sandwiched between us; you just keep quiet.”

Lu Shaoming disapproved of her remarks, but looking at the girl’s eager eyes full of expectations, he raised a brow and nodded. “Okay.”

“Good Hubby.” Ning Qing reached out and touched his handsome face. “Hubby, sing the Happy birthday song for Mom at the birthday banquet?”

Lu Shaoming listened and frowned. And this meant…?

He was too old to sing happy birthday to others. How childish and emotional. Asking him, a 31-year-old man, to sing the birthday song to his mother who he was not close to… That image was simply unthinkable.

“Hubby, Mom will be very touched when you sing to her. I promise this will be the best birthday gift she has received. Hubby, just sing once. I like to hear you sing best.”

Lu Shaoming squeezed her shoulders hard and rejected it. “Ning Qing, this matter cannot be discussed.”

Listening to the man’s resolute tone, Ning Qing sighed. She did not bring up the subject again.

Walking along, she saw the ice-cream shop. Her fair hand grabbed the corner of the man’s clothes. Her little hand pointed as she said, “Hubby, I want to eat ice-cream.”

“No, it’s too cold and will freeze our Little Master Lu.”
