Sweet Wife in My Arms

With her left hand, she pulled up the blanket that was wrapped around her body.

"Mr. Lu Qin, please go through this," she took out a piece of paper and shook it a few times before placing it in front of Lu Qin. "These are my medical fees, psychological damage fees, compensation for loss of income and secrecy fees."

"1.2 million in total."

"By the way, I don't accept digital transfers or cash," she said as she took out her mobile phone.

"Here, scan it."

That was the case with her, she would not suffer one bit in this lifetime. 1.2 million was already a family discounted price. Otherwise, demanding just a few million would not be enough for her. Also, don't forget that she could not do as many endorsements and had to film fewer advertisements. Adding up all her losses, it would total up to tens of millions.

In the span of three months, her arm was worth only 1.2 million. She felt that her arm was cheap.

"I'm not saying it twice, Mr. Lu Qin," the left arm that Yan Huan was holding up was becoming sore. "I'm reaching menopause age soon, so I'm not in a good mood."

Old Master Lu spat out the tea that he was drinking. He made up his mind to pretend not to know anything. No matter how the families of his two sons quarrel, he did not want to intervene.

He could not be bothered to do so anymore.

As long as the Lu family's reputation was not tarnished, then it doesn't matter how the situation was handled. He did not want to bring shame upon himself. Qin Xiaoyue was becoming more and more foolish. What was the use in quarrelling? What can everyone else do when she would not admit how brazen she was?

She just kept acting foolishly. Even now when things were going well, she had to turn it into this. People were going after her son and if he succumbs to them, then Lu Qin's reputation would be irreversibly damaged, hindering him from continuing down his current path.

An attempted murder, not to mention that the target was Ye Shuyun. Nowadays, the power of the internet and Yan Huan's fan base was not to be overlooked.

Yan Huan let Lu Yi hold her phone while her lips curved into a sarcastic smirk. Go on, maybe the great actor Lu is so poor in this lifetime that he did not even have a million.

Surprisingly, her guess was correct. The great actor Lu in the past life could earn hundreds of millions yearly, which was also responsible for putting Qin Xiaoyue beneath the limelight.

But it was hard to say in this life.

After all, his salary was limited as he was still a relatively unknown young actor. Although he's poor, he was still generously giving Su Muran gifts. In addition to his clouded brain and having a vain mother, Lu Qin would not be living a good life in this life.

Sure, there was still the Lu family, but the Lu family was not as generous as the Su family, which gave Su Muran unlimited resources. Old Master Lu has never given his sons much money, let alone his grandchildren.

He was not being stingy. It was the Lu family motto to only spend as much as you can earn. The Lu family would have monthly allowances for their living expenses. For a normal person, these expenses would have been worth a year's salary. But since Qin Xiaoyue was already used to being an extravagant spender and Lu Qin was pursuing Su Muran, Lu Qin's current financial position was not very stable.

Now, with so many people watching and waiting for him to make a move, Lu Qin clenched his teeth with all his might, took out his phone, and entered a sum of 1.2 million.

This was a 'friendship discount', no, it was a 'family discount' or else it would have been 12 million and not this sum. Of course, Lu Qin would not have been able to produce that amount.

Qin Xiaoyue was still shouting for Lu Qin to stop but Lu Qin glared at her. Had she not brought him enough shame? Why did he have this kind of mother? When his grandparents from his mother's side could not help him, he had let it go and yet she came to make a scene after everything was settled. This fight had been going on even before he was born. That was why this family looked down on them.

He sneered contemptuously in his heart.

There was still a long time to go, so they could wait and see how things progressed in the future, whether the tricks up his sleeve or prosecutor Lu Yi's skills were better. His gaze swept over the lady in the wheelchair once more.

He really was not sure how Lu Yi could have Yan Huan by his side. It was just unimaginable.

If Yan Huan was on his side, he would have already surpassed Lu Yi by now.

Nevertheless, he really did not know.

In fact, this time in his past life, he had already succeeded, because he was already the best actor in the country with a yearly income of a billion yuan.

It was a pity that the past life did not coincide with this present life.

This world had everything in scarce supply, except for what ifs. The thought of what could have happened instead of what did was endless.

Lu Yi slipped Yan Huan's phone into his own pocket, nodded at his parents, and turned toward Old Master Lu.

"Grandfather, we'll leave first, Huan Huan still needs to stay in the hospital."

Old Master Lu did not even care about him.

Yan Huan also did not look at that aged face. It was not that she was being disrespectful, it was just that she knew that it was pointless no matter how she tried to please him. Those who hate her would still hate her. She might as well reserve her sincerity to those who truly like her.

Like Lu Yi and his parents.

"Husband Lu Yi, let us each take half of this money, what do you say?"

"Mm," Lu Yi just agreed with whatever she said.

"Let's invite mom and dad over tomorrow to have a good meal and calm their nerves."

"Mm," that was still the only word Lu Yi. Yan Huan's tone was neither loud nor soft, and no one knew if what she said was intentional or unintentional. Anyway, not only Lu Yi heard it, but everyone else also heard it.

She mentioned the Lu Jin couple but never mentioned Old Master Lu.

Old Master Lu wanted to spit on the ground. Who gave birth to such a disrespectful person? It was not as if he wanted to join them for a meal. Who knew if he would get poisoned?

Lu Yi suddenly stopped and turned back to meet Lu Qin's hatred-filled eyes, although he still wore a fake smile on his face.

He frowned slightly and continued to push the wheelchair forward.

On the other hand, Yan Huan was considering how she should treat her guests. She could buy lots of things even though it was only 1.2 million. Lu Yi tapped her head to remind her to not celebrate too soon.

"What is there to be pleased about?"

"1.2 million."

Yan Huan gave him a miser-like look.

"Isn't it a loss since you traded it with an arm?"

Lu Yi bluntly jabbed at Yan Huan's sore spot.

Fine, Yan Huan was smart enough to know that she should not retort. She lowered her head and rubbed at the cast around her arm. The thought of going back to the hospital and the miserable days she had to go through gave her a headache.

With that thought going through her mind, she now felt that the 1.2 million she traded her arm for was too small an amount. Shooting any commercial would have easily earned her more than 1.2 million. However, being able to witness that constipated look on Lu Qin's face was priceless. Why wouldn't she be pleased with that?

She was extremely pleased alright.

Meanwhile, Lu Qin would definitely be so furious that even his insides ached.
