Chapter 5: Sister-in-law is Good

Lu Yang's surprise didn't end there.

Lin Qingxue didn't just acknowledge their marital relationship.

She even took the initiative to affectionately cling to his arm and then provocatively looked at an old man in his seventies who had just come out from behind.

"Qin Xue!" He Wanyi called out anxiously to Lin Qingxue and then turned to her grandfather, He Zhongcheng, "Grandfather, what on earth is going on?"

He Zhongcheng's face darkened as he glanced at Lin Qingxue and Lu Yang, and said coldly, "In that case, there's nothing to discuss. The He Family will terminate all cooperation with Qingluan Group effective immediately. From today onward, any product developed from the Imperial Concubine's formula is not allowed to be marketed and sold!"

"Consider this a breach of contract by you. No compensation will be high enough to stop the normal sale of our products," Lin Qingxue countered sharply.

"That bit of compensation? My He Family can certainly afford it!" He Zhongcheng said indifferently.

"Then I will wait for your compensation to be in place!" Lin Qingxue said coldly, pulling Lu Yang along to leave.

"Qin Xue, Qin Xue, what exactly did Grandfather ask of you to make you so angry?" He Wanyi chased after them, running out.

"You really don't know?" Lin Qingxue knew her best friend all too well, but it was a matter of great importance, so she still asked to make sure.

"I really have no idea! Grandfather never mentioned it to me!" He Wanyi stamped her foot in exasperation.

"Your grandfather said that unless I marry He Zishan, the partnership would be terminated... How could I possibly marry He Zishan! Not to mention that I'm already married," Lin Qingxue's tone softened a bit as she revealed the truth.

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! Knowing what kind of person my cousin is, and he still deludes himself into thinking he can marry you, Qin Xue, I'll go speak with Grandfather. Wait for my news!" He Wanyi ran back to the old mansion, fuming.

"Drive, let's go home!" Once they were alone, Lin Qingxue hurriedly let go of Lu Yang.

"The He Family is really going too far, trying to snatch my wife in such a manner. If I ever run into that He Zishan, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!" Lu Yang was furious. To think someone dared to vie for his wife—they clearly didn't know how to spell 'death'.

"Can you just shut up, you're so annoying!" Lin Qingxue snapped.

"There's always a way out. The He Family terminating the partnership might not be a bad thing, and I…" Lu Yang decided then to reveal a formula to help Lin Qingxue.

Maybe she would be moved by it and throw herself into his arms willingly.

The way she took initiative to get close just now felt really nice.

But strangely, even though his inner fire had been blazing, like the scorching sun,

he still couldn't enter that special state of cultivation.

Could it be that being with Lin Qingxue prevented him from entering that state?

"I told you to shut up... Turn left at the intersection up ahead. We're not going to my house; we're going to Grandfather's. Grandfather wants to see you!" Lin Qingxue felt like she was about to explode; all she wanted was some peace.

Lu Yang pursed his lips in complaint but comforted himself—for the sake of cultivation, he shouldn't stoop to Lin Qingxue's level.

Soon, Lu Yang met Lin Qingxue's grandfather, Lin Yongfu.

Lin Yongfu was very enthusiastic, so much so that Lu Yang felt slightly uncomfortable.

"Now that you're married, live a good life. Lu Yang, I entrust Qingxue to you!" Lin Yongfu grasped Lu Yang's hand and said earnestly, "If she fails in any of her duties as a wife, just let me know, and you'll see how I deal with her!"

Lu Yang laughed. What a nice man, this old guy is not bad, easy to get along with. So he smiled and said, "Grandpa, you have to keep your promise, okay? Here, let me give you my number, in case I need to trouble you later."

"No trouble at all, not in the slightest. My phone is on for you twenty-four hours a day!" Lin Yongfu readily gave his phone number to Lu Yang.

Lin Qingxue was dumbfounded. At that moment, she really wanted to ask, who exactly was his beloved granddaughter—she had never seen a grandfather so biased, practically bending over backward for someone else.

"Qingxue, come with me to my study!" Perhaps sensing Lin Qingxue's mood, Lin Yongfu directly called her into his study.

"Grandpa... Why must I marry Lu Yang? Can you finally tell me why?" Lin Qingxue couldn't wait to ask.

"Previously, didn't you suddenly fall ill, and then Lu Yang saved you?" Lin Yongfu asked.

"How did you know about that?" Lin Qingxue was full of surprise. Previously, Lu Yang didn't have grandpa's phone number, and without any chance to tell her, Bei Ling'er wouldn't have said anything—so how did grandpa find out?

"Because when you're with Lu Yang, such situations will arise. The more contact you two have, the more you will be each other's poison!" Lin Yongfu said.

Lin Qingxue was stunned.

She thought about what had happened at the coffee shop and before Lu Yang had treated her, and it was exactly as her grandpa was saying now.

"Grandpa, if being together makes us poison to each other, then why do you still insist on me marrying him, even to the point of threatening me with your death?" Lin Qingxue said, her face full of confusion.

"Although being with Lu Yang is like poison to each other, as long as the poison is at a certain level, Lu Yang will save you. But if you're not with Lu Yang, you... you only have one year left to live," Lin Yongfu said solemnly.

"Grandpa, what is this... Isn't this nonsense? Who told you this? You believe such things?" Lin Qingxue was so angry she didn't know what to say. She had always been healthy; to say she had only one year to live was surely ridiculous.

"Don't worry about who told me. This matter is absolutely true. I may be old, but I'm not senile. Would I push my own granddaughter into the fire pit?" Lin Yongfu said gravely, "In any case, you must interact with Lu Yang as a normal wife would, and it would be best to be inseparable. Arrange a position for Lu Yang in the company so that he can save you in a timely manner if you fall ill."

Lin Qingxue was speechless...

And it wasn't long after Lin Qingxue went into the study with Lin Yongfu.

Initially, Lu Yang heard the roar of a sports car, followed by a voluptuous and enchanting woman sashaying in.

She had a naturally seductive face, with particularly bright eyes that seemed not only to talk but also to electrify.

Her long, curly hair casually draped over her shoulders, giving her a wild appeal.

The tight T-shirt she wore highlighted her majestic breasts, ending just above the navel, revealing a smooth belly.

Her slender waist seemed to be just the right size for a grasp.

Below, she wore a short leather skirt, just long enough to cover her buttocks, revealing glimpses of the landscape beneath as her long legs moved.

"So you're Lu Yang, Qingxue's husband?" Mi Ying took the initiative to reach out her hand and introduce herself, "My name is Mi Ying, I am Qingxue's sister-in-law!"

Lu Yang took Mi Ying's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, hello, I'm Lu Yang!"

"Oh dear, my feet are a bit sore from all the walking. Lu Yang, would you massage them for me?"

Mi Ying sat on the couch and elegantly kicked off her high heels.

Lu Yang was dumbfounded. Sister-in-law, is this really okay?
