Ch.276 Can't you be a little romantic? (9)
She raised her trophy and said to the girl under the stage, "Tuantuan, you have to remember! It's the glory that you get from your achievements that become your most magnificent clothes!"
Everyone under the stage applauded, and Tuantuan felt inexplicably hot-eyed.
She raised her chubby little hand to rub her red and swollen eyes, nodding hard. At once, she was able to walk out from her shame.
Her mama was right. Only the glory of one's efforts is the most magnificent clothes for them. She didn't have to care too much about everything else.
But of course, Lin Yueqi had to raise Lu Ting's stinky feet too with such a good opportunity. She raised the trophy again and said, "I also have to thank Papa Lu. When I was at my lowest point, you appeared and pulled me up. You're the cutest person I've ever met!"
The award-presenting guest, Xiong Hua, was good friends with Zhuang Boshan. Considering the relationship between his friend and Lin Yueqi, he decided to set her up.
"I can see that Ms. Lin and Mr. Lu are very much in love. I wonder when the two of you are getting married? Could you send me an invitation too?"
The atmosphere on the stage stilled in an instant, and the atmosphere below was awkward.
Everyone could see that Xiong Hua was setting Lin Yueqi up on purpose.
Who didn't know that the Lu family wanted Lin Yueqi to give birth to a son? As soon as she couldn't give birth to a son, she wouldn't be able to marry into their family.
Lin Yueqi didn't think about this. Holding the mic, she scratched her head and said, blushing. "Marriage is...a bit too far? I'm still a baby, I'm not ready yet..."
As soon as she said that, laughter broke out below the stage. The awkwardness before was cleverly diffused. But Xiong Hua wasn't going to give up. He said to Lu Ting under the stage, "Since Ms. Lin is not willing to reveal the wedding date, why don’t we ask Mr. Lu instead?"
The camera was aimed at Lu Ting.
Zhuang Boshan whispered in Le Xiao's ear. "See, what did I tell you? So what if she gets the award? She wants to marry into a rich family like the other actresses, but she doesn't have the ability to give them a son, does she not?"
Le Xiao covered her mouth and snickered. "Mr. Zhuang is wise after all."
Lu Ting accepted the mic from the staff. From start to end, his eyes never moved elsewhere. He looked only at Lin Yueqi.
While speaking, both his expression and his voice was very serious. "I have not much say in these matters. It's all up to Ms. Lin. Our Lu family has strict family teachings. Women must be prioritized. If Ms. Lin doesn't want to marry me and wants to leave me hanging, then I wouldn't say a word about it."
Cheers and applause broke through the entire scene.
In the live stream:
"666666666..."
"All I can say is 666666!"
"If anyone dares to say my goddess has no family status in the future, I'll give them a slap to the face!"
"Hahahahaha, President Lu's family status is in trouble!"
...
At one in the morning, Lu Ting carried the sleeping Tuantuan and took her onto the ship towards Mara Island with Lin Yueqi.
At the port, Zhuang Boshan, Le Xiao, and their group were stopped at the ship.
Liu Xue looked at Tuantuan who was sleeping on Lu Ting's shoulder. When she saw their family getting on the boat, she pouted and tugged on Le Xiao's clothes. "Mama, I wanna get on the ship too!"
Le Xiao did not say anything, but she looked at Zhuang Boshan.
The man felt humiliated in front of a woman, so his ears were burning red. He glanced at his assistant at the side.
The assistant explained quietly, "The ship was supposed to take us to the island, but the staff says that this Mr. Lu is a gold card member. So...He has the say for this ship. Since he's unwilling to go with us, we..."
before he could finish, he was interrupted by Zhuang Boshan. "What gold car? Why have I never heard that Mara Island had a gold card?"
Even though Lu Ting had money, his family also had status. What's more, Mara Island never had any gold card to speak of, so where did this suddenly come from?
The assistant whispered, "I also just...heard about it just now."
