18 Daughter-In-Law (2/2)

”Don't make me repeat myself.”

Feeling like he was in a mountain of blades and a sea of fire, Cheng Manchu immediately did as he was ordered.

The Great Dragon King is scary! Too scary!

He was just a driver, but why did he feel like the cannon fodder of a horror movie?

...

Back at the old family house, Lu Shen strode in only to hear tinkling laughter coming from the kitchen.

He could hear the two elders chatting very happily, so he decided to take a look.

Nian Zhen was taking things out of her luggage, which she then presented to the elders with a humble look.

”Auntie, Uncle, I bought things abroad that I thought you might like...I just saw them and I immediately thought of you!”

It was easy to see at first glance that the items on the table were very expensive...

”You dear girl, you shouldn't have!” Mrs. Lu was greatly touched.

”Such kindness, you should have been our daughter-in-law!” Even the old master was full of praises for Nian Zhen. Indeed, the Nian and the Lu family had been great friends for a very long time.

Not only that, the Nian family were only second to them in power. If Nian Zhen and Lu Shen had gotten married, it would truly be a pairing that could topple mountains and overturn seas!

Lu Yongzheng's eyes tightened. If only his own son hadn't been so determined to keep his word to a lowly actress, this sort of calamity wouldn't have happened.

”Don't say that, Uncle,” said Nian Zhen, as she blushed like a shy girl in front of the two elders. ”Yinyin is amazing too, she went to pick me up at the airport earlier with Lu Shen.”

Mrs. Lu was disgruntled. ”What's so great about that? She probably only went there to suck up to you. I heard actresses from the entertainment industry had to do dark and disgusting things just to get to the top! With a daughter-in-law like that, how could I bear to show my face in public?”
