Chapter 542: Chapter 538: Turning the Fake into Reality (18th Update)

After Wei Xunfang and her son left, Lu Tianxing turned around and spoke, ”Uncle, auntie, now you can see clearly. If Lan Lan were really to marry them, I fear her entire life would be ruined. For money, they would sell even love. How could such people deserve to be Lan Lan’s future husband? I may not have money right now, but I’m working very hard to earn it. I believe it won’t be long before I can provide Lan Lan a happy life.”

Lan Xin didn’t speak but looked at Lu Tianxing with admiration. He was so domineering, it was truly overwhelming. Thankfully, she had brought Lu Tianxing to help today, or if it had been someone else, they might have been shamed into leaving by Wei Xunfang and her son long ago. It really paid off to have thick skin.

Awesome, so awesome.

If it weren’t for her parents being there, Lan Xin would have already been unable to resist shouting out loud. That was what you call a slap in the face, and it felt so satisfying.

”Dad, the boyfriend I chose isn’t bad, right?” Lan Xin said proudly.

Hearing their daughter’s words, Lan Chenghai and Li Shuyue felt their faces burning with shame. Cao Wei had always presented himself as polite and accomplished in front of them, which had influenced them to arrange a blind date for him and their daughter. But today, Cao Wei turned out to be a complete scumbag, willing to trade even love for money.

While regretting, Lan Chenghai and Li Shuyue also felt secretly relieved. Fortunately, Lu Tianxing was here today, or else their daughter’s life might have been ruined.

”Uncle, auntie, shall we change rooms? We can’t stay in this one. How about we move to another room and talk?” Lu Tianxing suggested.

”That sounds good, it’s better to change rooms. Just have the waiter serve some home-cooked dishes, there’s no need for anything expensive.”

Seeing that Lu Tianxing had given them a way out, Lan Chenghai’s gaze towards Lu Tianxing softened a bit, and he quickly stood up and walked outside.

After changing to another private room and ordering some home-cooked dishes, everyone began to eat and chat.

Lan Chenghai looked at Lu Tianxing and asked with a smile, ”Young man, your name is Lu Tianxing?”

”Yes, uncle, do you know me?” Lu Tianxing replied respectfully.

”I do not.”

Lan Chenghai shook his head, his eyes flashing a sharp light as he took a deep look at Lu Tianxing and said, ”By the way, Tianxing, when did you and Lan Lan get to know each other?”

”Lan Lan and I met two months ago, and it was only a month ago that we made our relationship official,” Lu Tianxing answered, following the instructions Lan Xin had given him beforehand.

”And who else is in your family?” Li Shuyue couldn’t help but ask.

Upon hearing this question, Lan Xin immediately interjected, ”Mom, what are you saying! It’s not right to ask such personal questions the first time you meet someone.”

At Lan Xin’s words, Li Shuyue laughed and said, ”Alright, alright, mom won’t talk anymore. This is something for you young people to deal with. I won’t interfere unnecessarily, lest you complain about me being nosy again.”

Li Shuyue sighed, her gaze resting on Lu Tianxing, revealing a trace of satisfaction in her eyes.

This young man seemed decent, neither servile nor arrogant, with clear eyes and without any airs of haughtiness, sitting upright—it was unlikely that he was a sly or deceitful person.

”By the way, Tianxing, that Citibank card of yours, was it real?” Li Shuyue asked curiously.

Lu Tianxing, with a laugh, said, ”Of course it was fake. It’s a model Black Gold Card that a friend gave me this morning. Although it almost has no difference from Citibank’s Black Gold Card, unfortunately, it cannot be used to swipe.”

”I see. I never would have thought the card could be made so exquisitely that even my husband mistook it.”

Li Shuyue sighed, saying, ”Tianxing, you’ve been wronged this time. We had not expected Wei Xunfang and her son to say such things.”

”Auntie, it’s okay, I can handle a bit of hardship, as long as Lan Lan is fine. I was a bit too forward just now, but I had no choice. I hope Uncle and Auntie won’t take it to heart.”

”No offense taken, no offense taken.”

Li Shuyue looked at Lu Tianxing with a smile, clearly more and more pleased with him the more she watched.

”The young man is good, neither humble nor arrogant, very good indeed.”

A faint smile appeared on Lan Chenghai’s face, clearly also having a good impression of Lu Tianxing.

As the dinner progressed, the atmosphere in the private room became increasingly lively, with Lan Chenghai and Li Shuyue’s smiles growing. But at this moment, Lu Tianxing felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. As time went by, he increasingly felt that Li Shuyue’s gaze toward him was unusual, clearly seeing him as the official son-in-law.

At this moment, Lu Tianxing harbored the impulse to vomit blood. This wasn’t how the plot was supposed to go, was it? Weren’t they supposed to go their separate ways after the meal?

Why did it seem like things were set to continue? Something was off about this turn of events.

Even worse, Lan Xin, the instigator, seemed to have no intention of speaking up for him, sitting properly at the side like a demure wife. Could she be any more troublesome?

He hadn’t even sorted out issues with Lin Qianru and Rose yet, and now with Lan Xin added to the mix, wasn’t this going to be the death of him?

Cautiously handling various questions from Li Shuyue and Lan Chenghai, he finally waited for the dinner to end. Greeting Lan Chenghai and Li Shuyue, Lu Tianxing decisively grabbed Lan Xin’s arm and dragged her out of the private room, half-pulling and half-tugging.

”Tsk tsk, these two youngsters are too eager. Isn’t it alright to spend a little more time with us old folks?”

Li Shuyue shook her head, not blaming Lu Tianxing and Lan Xin but just smiling and shaking her head.

Lan Chenghai sighed and lit himself a cigarette.

”Old man, what’s with the sigh? What’s the matter, not happy that your daughter has found her place?” Li Shuyue gave her husband a sideways glance, speaking with dissatisfaction.

”Ah, I’m just worried Lan Lan might be at a disadvantage,” Lan Chenghai said, sighing.

”At a disadvantage?”

Li Shuyue said, puzzled, ”How could that be? The kid seems quite fond of Lan Lan, how could he take advantage of her?”

”That Lu Tianxing is not simple at all. His card is real.”

”Real?”

Li Shuyue was startled: ”Didn’t he just say it was fake?”

”You really think your husband is blind? Have you forgotten where I work ’officially’? If I can’t even recognize a bank card, I might as well retire early.”

”So, you mean the kid is actually a low-key rich second generation. That’s even better.”

At this moment, Lu Tianxing had no idea about the conversation in the private room. After stepping out, he took a long sigh of relief, his face revealing a sense of having barely survived a catastrophe. He swore that he would never accompany Lan Xin out again, or else the pretense could turn genuine.

Moreover, Lan Xin was right under Bai Zhiqing’s watchful eye. If the truth came out, he definitely wouldn’t be able to escape the consequences.
