Chapter 158: She Is Not Good Enough for Lu Ye

Meanwhile, at the Lu family’s old residence.
“This is what she said?” After listening to the recording, the old master’s expression was grim as well.
Uncle Chi gave a soft cough. “Yes. She asked me to record it for you.”
Old Master Lu snapped angrily, “Look at that! Just look at the kind of wife that boy Lu Ye has chosen! He actually married such a vicious, overbearing woman? And she’s from the entertainment industry, too. Is he determined to ruin the Lu family’s reputation with his own hands?”
Uncle Chi frowned. “The young madam did go too far with her words, but what she said was not entirely unreasonable. Miss Xuanxuan is still young. Moving her to a completely different environment might not be good for her.”
Old Master Lu gave a cold snort. “What reason does she have? My Lu family has no need to be lectured by some actress! With all the scandals she’s had in the entertainment industry, does she really think she’s qualified to educate Xuanxuan? I’m even more afraid that Xuanxuan will be led astray by a woman like her!”
Because the Lu family was a traditional, long-established clan, they held a certain prejudice against people in the entertainment business.
After all, most celebrities nowadays were packaged and promoted by capital, and many would stop at nothing to become famous. For that reason, Old Master Lu had never held people from the entertainment industry in high regard.
What was more, he had investigated Jiang Sui long ago.
Ever since making her debut, that woman had used every possible means to become famous. A casual search online would bring up all kinds of scandals from her past.
Deliberately leeching off male celebrities’ popularity, flirting and carrying on with other men—were those really things a woman of good character would do?
“What exactly has that woman done to bewitch Lu Ye? I must bring Lu Xuanxuan back! I absolutely cannot leave her beside a woman like that!” Old Master Lu brought his dragon-headed cane down hard twice, the force revealing the depth of his fury.
Just then, the butler approached.
“Old Master,” he said respectfully, “the Second Young Master’s side has just sent over a website link. He said it was for you to watch.”

As he spoke, he handed the old master’s phone to him.
Old Master Lu was advanced in years and not accustomed to using a smartphone, so the butler usually checked it for him. Whenever someone in the family sent a message, the butler would read it and relay the contents.
“Open it and let me see.” Though the old master’s voice was cold, he had already put on his reading glasses.
The butler opened the video.
The figures that appeared on the screen were unmistakably Jiang Sui and Xuanxuan.
The video included clips of the pair’s livestream on the parent-child variety show, Mom Is a Hero, as well as previously unaired footage from the interview program they later attended.
It began with Jiang Sui making Xuanxuan a plate of egg fried rice.
It showed the way Jiang Sui cared for Xuanxuan, defended her, and taught her.
Whether Xuanxuan was acting spoiled or throwing a tantrum, Jiang Sui handled everything with perfect composure.
The relationship between the two of them also began to grow warmer at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In particular, when Jiang Sui quarreled with Bai Xixue to defend Xuanxuan, and when she took Xuanxuan away without hesitation after Xuanxuan’s parents were mentioned during the interview, the old master’s expression gradually became moved.
A glimmer of tears appeared in those aged, stubborn, yet wise eyes.
His face, however, remained tightly composed.

Uncle Chi said softly, “I heard that both programs were broadcast live. And Miss Xuanxuan is still young, so logically speaking, it would be impossible for any of it to have been faked.”
In truth, everyone present knew that this could not possibly have been fake.
They knew what kind of person the Second Young Master was. How could he not understand the tricks of the entertainment industry?
Since he had sent the video to them, it had to be genuine.
After watching it, Old Master Lu drew a deep breath and said coolly, “So what? Xuanxuan belongs to the Lu family, so she should return to the Lu family! What sense is there in letting her follow an outsider? Besides, I don’t like this Jiang Sui! That girl is not worthy of Lu Ye. I will never acknowledge her!”
With that, he rose and turned toward the study.
Only after turning away did he quickly wipe the tears he had just forced back from the corners of his eyes and sniff quietly, before once again assuming his usual stern expression.
Uncle Chi and the butler exchanged a glance.
“There’s no need to relay that last sentence to the Second Young Master,” Uncle Chi said.
The butler nodded. “Understood.”
