BXBX NOVEL Chapter 350 - 350 The Dongfang Family Will Absolutely Not Want It
Xie Shiyun was startled, “Qiao Yin was married to Lu Lingche?!”
Dongfang Yi handed her the file, “Take a look, this woman is far from simple!”
After quickly reading through the information, Xie Shiyun looked at her son, “She has been married and had a miscarriage before. Did you know?” Dongfang Mu seemed unconcerned, “Of course I knew! So what if she has been married? We’re living in modern times and divorcees can re-marry, can’t they?”
Dongfang Yi’s face darkened: “This is the woman the Lu family rejected. Are you going to marry her and let our Dongfang family be the joke of society? I knew you lack judgment when it comes to women, but I didn’t expect this level of foolishness!”
“The Lu family didn’t reject her, it was Qiao Yin who rejected them and Lu Lingche.”
“You dare defend her?! Who would believe such nonsense?”
Dongfang Yi slammed the tea table with such force that the cups fell, shattering on the floor with a harsh sound.
“What I am saying is the truth!”
Dongfang Mu also began to lose patience: “I like her, so what? Can I control my feelings? If the Lu family doesn’t want her, that’s their loss! Why should I care about their choices? Or what other people would think? I live my own life. Can’t I choose someone I truly like?”
“Of course not! You’re the heir to the family!”
“Your marriage is not child’s play. You were born with more than most people, and you’ve enjoyed wealth and honor. Along with them, you must also bear a great responsibility!”
“The woman that the Lu family rejected, the Dongfang family will absolutely not accept!”
“Forget about this woman. As long as I am here, she will never be able to step into the Dongfang family!”
Dongfang Mu almost blurted out that he’s no longer interested in being the heir.
But he managed to control himself.
Clenching his teeth, he snapped, “You married the woman you loved. Why can’t I marry the woman I love? Marrying Cui Shuqian would be worse than becoming a monk!”
“How can you compare Qiao Yin to your mother? Your mother was a proper society maiden, while Qiao Yin has not only been divorced and had an abortion, but her father is also hopelessly in debt. She’s far removed from being anything good!”
“You must break off all connections with her immediately! If news about your relationship with Qiao Yin gets out, and it is employed against us, your grandfather will immediately name your cousin as the heir!”
Aggravated, Dongfang Mu said, “She is currently working for me, and I rely on her to seize the cooperation with Shengling Group. If I cut ties with her, who’s going to replace her competency?”
“If you’re unwilling to end things with her, then I will! The Dongfang family was doing perfectly well before she came along. Your reliance on a woman of no importance, don’t you think it’s disgraceful?”
Dongfang Mu was somewhat flustered, “You must not approach her!”
“Then you must cut all ties with her, no future contact!”
“In the first place, there was nothing between us. It’s you who’s blowing things out of proportion! You even made my mother seek her out. Anyone would think you’re overreacting! Qiao Yin rejected Lu Lingche, do you think she would have any interest in me? You’re making a mountain out of a molehill. You claim I’m disgraceful, but I thinkyou’re the disgraceful ones!”
Xie Shiyun looked at him with complicated emotions, “Didn’t you always have high self-esteem, thinking that all women were attracted to you? How do you know she isn’t interested in you? As the only young master of the Dongfang family and extremely good-looking, who wouldn’t be attracted to you?”
Dongfang Mu was silent for a while before he finally spoke, “She’s a little different.”
He knew better than anyone else, Qiao Yin had no feelings for him. She was more enthusiastic about her work than she was with him.
