My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 701 - 619: Who Gave You Face?

Everyone had entered the old estate, and Old Sir Lu was seated in the main hall. He knew everything happening outside crystal clear but chose to remain silent.

Mrs. Lu was sitting there as well, her face looking extremely unpleasant, evidently irritated by that woman.

Fortunately, her son had restored some face for her.

She called out, "Lu Qing," but Lu Qing merely responded with a simple "Hmm," his attitude cold and distant.

Her heart sank. After all, he was her biological son, yet these days, they barely saw each other.

She had been provoked by Lu Xingfeng earlier and ended up with some mental struggles, saying some excessive things to him as well.

Her son was cold-hearted and detached, and her actions seemed to have hurt him, leading to today’s estrangement.

She wanted to make amends, but for now, there wasn’t much she could do.

On New Year’s Eve, it was naturally time to have the reunion dinner. Lu Xingfeng, eager to regain his standing, began joking and saying flattering words to Old Sir Lu.

Old Sir Lu’s expression remained indifferent, while Lu Qing looked calm but gradually grew distant even toward the elder.

He was dissatisfied with Old Sir Lu pressuring him to let Lu Xing join the company, especially bringing both of them here on New Year’s Eve.

Old Sir Lu felt quite helpless too. While his grandson was undeniably capable and had brought glory to the Lu Family, their descendants were too sparse. With Lu Xing also being a Lu Family member, he held onto just a small, selfish thought.

The atmosphere in the room had been subtly tense from the very beginning.

Especially Lu Qing, who hadn’t uttered a single word.

In an effort to lighten the mood, Old Sir Lu specially paid attention to Qin Miaomiao.

After all, Qin Miaomiao was rather remarkable—not only pregnant, but carrying triplets!

Two of them were sons, truly proud additions to the family and something that brought impressive face to the household.

"Miaomiao, you’re the top contributor of this family. Eat more," Old Sir Lu said.

"Thank you, Grandpa," Miaomiao replied politely.

Suddenly, Lu Xingfeng interjected, "But who knows if she’ll even manage to deliver them alive."

As soon as the words left his mouth, a pair of chopsticks shot toward his eyes with a swish!

It was Lu Xing’s quick reflexes that blocked them midway, but the force was so strong that his hand went numb!

"Lu Qing, what are you trying to do? Do you mean to commit patricide?" Lu Xingfeng shouted.

Lu Qing’s gaze turned ice-cold, and he said sharply:

"Say one more word, and I’ll rip your tongue out myself!"

His murderous demeanor terrified Lu Xingfeng enough to silence him instantly. He knew Lu Qing was absolutely not bluffing.

Qin Miaomiao promptly asked the servant to fetch another pair of chopsticks:

"Darling, it’s New Year’s—please don’t get angry."

Even Old Sir Lu quickly chimed in and laid down the law: "Lu Xingfeng, what nonsense are you saying? Keep talking rubbish and get out of here!"

What he had just said was indeed too outrageous, no wonder Lu Qing was so furious.

Qin Miaomiao was now the Lu Family’s top contributor and Lu Qing’s lifeline—saying such things was practically asking for trouble.

Lu Xingfeng, already frightened by Lu Qing, reined in his brainless impulses and dared not speak recklessly anymore.

As for patricide, it wasn’t impossible that Lu Qing would genuinely go through with it. Lu Xingfeng certainly didn’t want to die.

Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Xingfeng with disdain at his cowardly state, but her attitude toward Qin Miaomiao softened. She even asked her a few questions in a rather gentle tone.

Of course, her intention was to use Qin Miaomiao to persuade Lu Qing to say a few good things about her.

After all, Lu Qing was her future source of reliance—but a wounded heart was not so easy to heal, especially one like Lu Qing’s.
