Chapter 75: Father-in-law, you are indeed generous

Lu Mingyuan was a mess in his emotional life, but that didn't mean his personal ability was poor.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sit in the position of department head for more than ten years without being replaced.

At this moment, facing his son-in-law who was questioning him aggressively, he used the "four ounces to move a thousand pounds" technique, playing tai chi, and forcibly wore down the sharpness of the young man.

"Manman is my stepdaughter. Her father sacrificed his life to save me, and I promised her biological father that I would take good care of their mother and daughter.

Although she is not my biological daughter, I have raised her for fifteen years and treated her as my own.

As for why I tacitly allowed her to impersonate Manman's identity, it was because Manman's mother and we in the Lu family had no correspondence for more than ten years.

I wasn't sure if her mother had found a new match for her. After all, back then, the Gu family and the Lu family only had a verbal agreement for the marriage of the younger generation, and there was no marriage contract."

Having said this, his attitude was very clear.

Although he didn't expose the identity of his stepdaughter Lu Manman and hid it, allowing the bride to be replaced, it was understandable from a realistic and moralistic perspective.

"Father-in-law, you are indeed generous."

Gu Tingchen's face was ugly. After wasting so much time, he still didn't get any benefits; instead, he was disgusted by the shameless theory of stealing concepts.

No wonder Shen Qingluo chose to divorce and resolutely took her daughter away.

He didn't know whether to pity himself, or pity his former fiancée, Shen Man, whose marriage was snatched and tacitly approved by her biological father.

"You are not me. If you were me, you wouldn't necessarily handle it any better."

Lu Mingyuan naturally heard the sarcasm in his son-in-law's tone; this was what he deserved, and he wasn't angry.

"Since you still call me Father-in-law, it shows that you are not without feelings for Manman. What you want is nothing more than the support of the Lu family.

Regarding this, I can only promise that if you need anything, and I can help, I will naturally help."

"Since that's the case, then thank you, Father-in-law, for your fulfillment."

Gu Tingchen curled his lips, but the sarcasm in his eyes was undisguised.

"I'm quite curious, Father-in-law dotes on his stepdaughter so much and settles all the trouble, but has he ever felt guilty toward his biological daughter?"

He had always been a person who repaid grievances with grievances. He married a fake, could he be happy?

Although his father-in-law promised him that he would exert force when he needed it, he wouldn't let the other party feel good!

"This is not something you need to worry about. Since you're married to Manman, treat her well. You two should give birth to a child early, and your grandfather will be happy, won't he?"

Lu Mingyuan's eyes were deep, a trace of embarrassment flashing in his eyes, his tone carrying a faint pressure.

No matter how excellent this Gu kid was, after coming to the Capital, his official career still needed to rely on the connections of the Lu family.

Just this point, even if he was in the wrong, as long as both sides had interests involved, they would prosper together and suffer together, right?

A fish dying and the net breaking would be good for no one.

"Father-in-law is right. I will give birth to a child with Manman as soon as possible. I just want to remind Father-in-law that since you say you treat everyone equally, don't be biased and chill my and Manman's hearts."

After Gu Tingchen finished speaking, he gave his father-in-law a meaningful look and got up to say goodbye.

After leaving the study and going downstairs, he met the mother-in-law, one of the culprits, who called him diligently:

"Tingchen, have you eaten lunch before leaving?"

Gu Tingchen's tone and attitude were not as close as before; he was polite, using a perfunctory and impatient tone:

"No, Mother-in-law. I have something to do. Manman has been under a lot of work pressure recently, so why don't she stay for two days."

After speaking, he didn't even look at his wife and strode away.

Lu Manman hurriedly grabbed her bag and chased after him.

"What is all this."

Zhang Xuemei sighed, not knowing what to say.

But she would never admit she was wrong. If she hadn't been calculating step by step back then, how could she have succeeded in climbing to the top and sitting on the throne of Mrs. Lu?

Enjoying more than ten years of wealth, fine food and clothing, and a status respected by others.

Besides, based on her understanding of her husband, since her son-in-law still called her Mother-in-law downstairs, it should have been settled, and the matter had come to an end.

As for the future, take it slow. Once her daughter and son-in-law had children, her son-in-law wouldn't be nitpicking about the identity issue.

It was all Shen Man's fault for disappearing without a trace and suddenly coming back, causing so many contradictions and incidents!

Now it was good; the huge deposit was given to the two children by her husband, and she only took two thousand from the public account as a dowry for her daughter, and it was like poking a hornet's nest. From now on, her husband would send half of his monthly allowance to Shen Man as compensation!

That was more than a hundred yuan!

In a year, it would be at least fifteen or sixteen hundred yuan!

It pained her to death!

Damn it, she finally saw it clearly; as a couple who remarried, the whole Lu family was guarding against her!

It was time to consider herself. Thinking of a female colleague at work who was five years older than her and had given birth to a big fat boy, her heart warmed up...

After all, she hadn't reached menopause yet. If she adjusted her body and worked hard, maybe she could still give birth!

Whether it was a boy or a girl, as long as it was the Lu family's seed, could that old man in the Lu family hate his own grandson or granddaughter?

Once she had a child with the Lu family's bloodline, her husband's allowance and pension in the future would have to be left to her and the child!

A birth plan targeting Lu Mingyuan was quietly underway, and in the near future, it would give Lu Mingyuan a very big surprise...

The boat was already built; there was no point in saying more.

For the sake of interests, Gu Tingchen could only pinch his nose and accept this misplaced marriage.

After returning home, he sent a telegram to his grandfather, and this matter was considered settled.

However, Gu Yinyin was becoming more and more disgusted with this fake sister-in-law...

From her classmate, she learned that the fake sister-in-law's mother was the wife of her classmate's father's younger brother!

Back then, after her classmate's father's younger brother sacrificed his life, the troops sent a pension.

At that time, the Lu family was very poor, and the brothers of the clan pooled money to buy a coffin for the burial.

Unexpectedly, the next day, that mother and daughter took the money and ran away, and didn't send a single letter home since.

Let alone sweeping the grave and burning paper money during the Qingming Festival.

There were many customs in the countryside; only close relatives could burn paper money for the deceased to receive it.

All these years, Lu Manman and her mother hadn't returned to visit once, let alone sweep the grave and burn paper money!

To the countryside, this was forgetting one's roots, breaking off family ties!

Therefore, Lu Qingfeng hated this mother and daughter very much and felt it was unfair for his second uncle!

Her classmate also hinted to her that his eldest brother was determined not to have any connection with Lu Manman and her mother!

And she was Lu Manman's sister-in-law; this relationship meant Lu Qingfeng wouldn't give her a good look, let alone date her!

So, her crush had completely cooled down!

How could she not hate the fake sister-in-law... ===== CHAPTER 76 =====
