Chapter 251 - Ever Since I’ve Married Lu Shaoming, I Am The First Daughter-In-Law Of The Lu Family

“What do you mean?” Ning Qing interrupted her directly. “It’s easy for you to find a reason to reject the entertainment elders when they invite you, but you were tempted. You thought that maybe you could get a better development opportunity with the elder, but you’re afraid and don’t want to pay. To put it bluntly, you want to everything for nothing.”

Yin Moer’s face was red, and she had become one of the four popular actresses with City of Love, but in front of Ning Qing, she would still be nervous and helpless.

Ning Qing could see through people at a glance.

Ning Qing was only 21 years old, but her growth in the entertainment industry and her personal growth could be described as amazing.

“Moer, you want to take advantage of men, and men want to take advantage of you. Never leave things to luck. You are still young, and there will be many choices in the future. I can’t make a decision for you, but I can make a metaphor for you. It’s like an actress who gets famous because she had played a specific role, such as a lady. Then the people who want her to play the role of a lady will come one after another. Some people, as long as they take the first step, can never go back.”

Yin Moer’s eyes were bright, and she nodded, “Director Ning, I understand. Thank you.”

“Alright, you can leave.” Ning Qing smiled lightly and continued to look down at the document in her hand.

When Yin Moer went out, Lu Dinghua listened to her tell her assistant, “Help me reject the dinner invitation, and don’t send this kind of invitation to me again in the future.”

Lu Dinghua looked at the girl sitting in the office. No matter how he looked at her, he felt that she was very young, but the way she handled the problem was not “young” at all.

She had used a very good metaphor to tell Yin Moer that being a human was like acting. Once she had gone to the dinner and let them break through the line of defense, there would be many men who would covet her. There were no secrets in the entertainment industry. She couldn’t turn back.

A human would face many choices in their life. Every road leads to Rome. It was not necessary to take any so-called “shortcuts”.

The girl was calm, objective, and intelligent when encountering problems.

Lu Dinghua had a hint of satisfaction in his deep eyes.

At this time: Knock Knock! Xiao Zhou knocked on the door, “Ning Qing.”

Ning Qing looked up and saw Lu Dinghua at first sight. Looking at the man who looked like Lu Shaoming, Ning Qing’s eyes changed and she rose quickly.

She took a few steps, drew up her lips and smiled politely. “You’re...Dad?”

Lu Dinghua walked over and stepped into the office. He looked at Ning Qing’s prominent lower abdomen and nodded. “Yes.”

Ning Qing’s question was one with a double meaning. His “yes” had already answered her “Dad.”

“Bring some tea, Xiao Zhou.” Ning Qing winked at Xiao Zhou — Serve the good tea!

“Yes, Ma’am.”

Ning Qing returned to sit on the sofa and sat facing Lu Dinghua, stretching out her hand without wiping the smile from her face. Ning Qing smiled with curved eyes and said, “Dad, when did you come back? Nobody told me and I didn’t go to meet you. It was too impolite of me.”

Lu Dinghua looked into Ning Qing’s eyes and with a profound smile, he said, “I returned home a month ago, but Shaoming didn’t tell you. Hah, this kid still hates his mother for making things difficult for you. He’s really planning on not to go back to the Lu family for you.”

Lu Dinghua seemed to have a gentle tone, but sharp knives were hidden in his words. His meaning was that my son would cast aside his parents for you.

He had blamed her as soon as he came here.

Ning Qing was calm and composed. She smiled and answered, “Dad, what are you talking about? Mom has just misunderstood me. She hasn’t made things difficult for me. All parents think alike in this world. Mom just wants what’s good for Shaoming, and Shaoming will always be the descendant of the Lu family. Nobody can snatch that away from him. I married Shaoming, so I’m also the daughter-in-law of the Lu family; we are all part of the Lu family.”

Lu Dinghua raised his eyebrows and was very satisfied with Ning Qing’s unflinching reply. Then Xiao Zhou brought tea over. Ning Qing personally received it and handed it to Lu Dinghua. “Dad, have tea.”

Lu Dinghua did not accept it.

“Ning Qing, since I’ve come here today, I’ll go straight to the point and say it. To be honest, I’m not very satisfied with you, not because of your birth, but because Shaoming likes you too much. Because of Shaoming’s love for you though, I have to accept you. Moreover, the child in your stomach is the descendant of the Lu family. But acceptance does not mean recognition. Whether you can be the Lu family’s daughter-in-law or become Lu family’s master mother in the future, I still have to test you.”

Ning Qing liked this kind of refreshing and straightforward person best. He wouldn’t try to create obstacles for her like Song Yajing, but he would let you speak with your merits.

Ning Qing never lacked merit.

“Yes, Dad, I’ll take your test.” Ning Qing agreed.

“Alright.” Lu Dinghua took the tea in her hand and sipped it lightly.

Ning Qing’s delicate ink like eyebrows rose in joy. Her father-in-law had drunk his daughter-in-law’s tea.

“Ning Qing, there will be elders of the Lu family coming to our house in two days. It is a dinner party. Shaoming knows about this. I called that kid, but he refused to answer my call. Obviously, he refuses to attend.”

“Dad.” Ning Qing quickly said, “You can rest assured that Shaoming and I will go. In the eyes of outsiders, we will always be a family who loves each other.”

“Alright.” Lu Dinghua had a satisfied look in his eyes. Ning Qing was a clever girl, and he did not need to waste much time telling her what to do.

He got up. “Then I’ll go.”

“Ok, Dad, I’ll walk you out.”

Ning Qing personally took Lu Dinghua downstairs, then stood by the gate and watched as the limousine drove away.

Xiao Zhou laughed and said, “Ning Qing, all right. Young Master Lu’s father has gone. You don’t have to be so polite to please him anymore.”

Ning Qing took a look at Xiao Zhou and sighed as the limousine disappeared. “Xiao Zhou, what do you know? Can I not be so courteous? Entering a noble family is equivalent to diving into the deep sea; the road as the eldest daughter-in-law of a noble family is very difficult.”

Moreover, for the elders, this courtesy was still necessary.

Xiao Zhou disagreed. “Ning Qing, what are you afraid of? Young Master Lu dotes on you and loves you so much. You don’t have to enter this noble family that’s like a deep sea.”

Ning Qing gave her a gentle smile and sighed, “Xiao Zhou, if a man loves you and dotes on you, should you just enjoy his love with ease? Will you really have the heart to see him not entering his own home and not acknowledge his parents for you? Who in the world does not need the love of his parents? Shaoming has gotten very little love since he was a child, so everyone thinks he does not need it. But we have forgotten that the less people get, the more they desire. Shaoming also wishes he could have a warm home and live like ordinary people.”

“Besides,” Ning Qing placed a small hand gently on her abdomen as a breeze blew over slowly, blowing a few strands of beautiful hair around her cheek. “I married Shaoming, so I am the first daughter-in-law of the Lu family. In the future, everything of the Lu family, including the Lu corporation, will be my Shaoming’s. As long as Ning Qing is in the family, what belongs to the Lu family will belong to us.”

Xiao Zhou was shocked. She looked at Ning Qing admiringly. “Ning Qing, so your next goal is...”

Ning Qing smiled and nodded. “Yes, the Lu family.”

...

In the evening, at Tea Pavilion Villa

Auntie Yang had stewed some chicken soup. Ning Qing drank two bowls and ate more than half the bowl of rice, filling her small belly.

Auntie Yang laughed. “Madam, other pregnant women are either dizzy or vomiting. Madam reacts very little and has a good appetite. It seems that the young master in Madam’s stomach is very good.”

Ning Qing’s eyes crinkled as she smiled. “Yes, Auntie Yang, my Little Master Lu is too good. Yesterday, I went for a checkup. The doctor said that the fetus should move in these two days. But he hasn’t moved at all.”

“Don’t worry, Madam. There will be some fetal movements sooner or later; it will be tonight.”

Ning Qing quickly covered her mouth and laughed. “Really? If it’s really tonight, I’ll give Auntie Yang a big red packet.”

Auntie Yang was amused by Ning Qing. They laughed loudly and the room was harmonious.

Lu Shaoming pulled out a paper towel and wiped the corners of her mouth dotingly. The girl loved laughing very much recently. Her good mood always infected others so easily.

Lu Shaoming raised his mouth and said softly, “Have you had enough? I’ll take you out for a walk if you’re full.”

Yesterday, the doctor had told her to walk more from now on, as it would help with a smooth delivery.

“No.” Ning Qing allowed him to wipe her lips. She pouted her pink lips and rubbed her thin legs with her fair hands. “I’ve walked a lot today. I’m tired. I want to take a bath and sleep.”

Lu Shaoming knew she was making excuses because she had told him that for a whole month.

Others knew to change their lies, but she always said the same thing every day.

She knew that he couldn’t do anything.

“Master, forget it, Madam’s still in the early stages now, and it’s not too late to take a walk when she’s eight or nine months pregnant. Besides, she’s still working. She’s more tired than the average pregnant woman. The pregnant woman’s body is lazier than usual. Especially after dinner at night, she’ll just want to lie in bed. Let her take a bath and go to bed early,” Auntie Yang advised.

“Yes,” said Ning Qing, nodding her head with her delicate cheeks puffed up. She blinked her pitiful, innocent eyes as she said in a soft and sweet voice, “Shaoming, Auntie Yang knows how to dote on me. Don’t dote on me so much.”

As soon as she spoke, she was picked up by a man who carried her upstairs.

Auntie Yang clapped and laughed behind her. “Madam, do you still say that your husband doesn’t dote on you?”

Ning Qing’s little face turned red, and her fair index finger jabbed him hard on his chest. “What are you doing? Auntie Yang is here. How can you hold me just like that?”

How embarrassing.

Lu Shaoming looked at her tenderly. “Aren’t your legs sore and you don’t want to walk? I’ll hold you in my arms.”

Ning Qing’s heart was suddenly smeared with a handful of molasses. Mmm, he was pampering her more and more. He was going to spoil her like this.

...

When they returned to their room, Lu Shaoming went to the bathroom and put a pool of hot water in it. Then he took some pajamas and handed them to her. “Take a shower?”

Ning Qing’s eyes swiveled around quickly. Noticing something unusual in his words, her willow brows rose as she asked him sweetly, “Hubby, of course I would shower myself? Why do you question me rather than use an affirmative tone?”

The man placed one hand in his pocket and frowned handsomely. “When you’re heavy, wouldn’t I have to wash you?”

Ning Qing immediately gave him a light slap and said, “Pui, I’m not a penguin. What do you mean heavy? Dream on!”

With a loud bang, Ning Qing closed the bathroom door.
