Chapter 714: The Plots Su Muran’s popularity had been gradually growing. On the other hand, The Aster Flower seemed to have scored a high rating and the audience was anticipating it. However, one could only truly appraise the movie after he or she had personally watched it.

“And the premiere of their movie has been postponed?” Su Muran extended her finger to play with the diamond, which was of the size of a bird egg, on the ring on her finger.

“Yes.” Lu Qin sat up and grabbed Su Muran’s hand. “Trust me. Our film will be the highest-grossing movie of that time.”

“Of course.” Su Muran was very confident about it. Not only were her acting skills up to par, this film was also the best one she had ever participated. On top of that, it also had one of the finest storylines.

With the best story, the best casts, and the best cinematography, she was certain that this movie would be definitely be a hit. This time, she could use this opportunity to get rid of her notorious reputation as the box office poison.

She was now thinking whether she could break the record of Yan Huan’s White Fox, wanting to be ranked first in the domestic box office.

She removed her hand from Lu Qin’s. Until today, she still felt slightly uncomfortable as though she was being humiliated.

“Are you worrying about Linlang again?” Lu Qin could read Su Muran’s mind just be a single glance at her expression.

Recently, Linlang had produced many movies to boost their celebrities’ popularity. Their assets had also doubled. Meanwhile, that land was set at a premium price that no one could afford.

“We were tricked by Lu Yi,” Lu Qin spoke with a chilling tone while his squinted eyes were filled with resentment. He had never regarded Lu Yi as a brother, not wanting to acknowledge Lu Yi as his cousin.

“He’s dead anyway.” Neither was Su Muran fond of him. However, she did not want to waste her time over a dead person. “After all, Lu family’s entire properties will be yours in the future. Even if we can’t lay our hands on Linlang, as long as the Lu family is still standing, it will still be beneficial for us. ”

“But...” She cupped her face as she gently pouted, forming a rather captivating yet slightly guileful curl on her lips.

“Your father is still alive, and your uncle’s family is still around as well. It will be good if they are all dead, then the Lu family will completely be ours.”

Soon, they will all die. Lu Qin affectionately caressed Su Muran’s face before he pulled her into his arms. His hands slowly made his way under Su Muran’s clothes.

“But, Yan Huan is there too.” Su Muran’s body instinctively followed Lu Win’s lead. First and foremost, besides Lu Qin’s pretty face, he was also very good in bed, which made him an ideal partner, not to mention his ambitious persona. She admired a man like him. Undeniably, she also enjoyed being dominated by him. For her, it was pointless to stay with a goalless man.

“Yan Huan?” Lu Qin continued to remove his top with one hand. “Lu Yi is no longer around. Without Lu Yi, what can she do? She will have to leave the Lu residence when we take over the power.”

“You are so ruthless,” Su Muran poked Lu Qin on his chest.

“Don’t you like my ruthlessness?”

Lu Win grabbed Su Muran’s hand and placed it by his lips before he gently bit her hand. Then, they went on canoodling on the bed. Both of them had their respective plans on their mind, thinking about how they could get the most out of it. They were true partners in crime.

They were the only ones who knew if there was any true emotions in their relationship.

As Su Muran combed her hair in front of the mirror, she furrowed her brows, apparently not in a good mood.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Qin wondered if he was too harsh as there were multiple bruises on Su Muran’s body.

Fortunately, the bruises were not visible to others. Otherwise, it was impossible for her to go to work in this condition. The Ample Flower was going to win an international award. Su Muran did not bother to lay an eye on the domestic awards anymore as she had already earned a plethora of local prizes. She was even once crowned as the best local actress. If she could become the best actress internationally, she would be one of the best among the domestic entertainment industry and would even be deemed as the top actress.

New Year’s Day was around the corner. There were many events and tours to promote The Aster Flower. She temporarily put her concern about winning the award aside as there was still a long time until the award giving ceremony. Her priority was to earn enough from the box office. She hoped that the film could win the first place in the box office. She was upset every time she was reminded about the chart of the box office.

Yan Huan was no one but an orphan who met Lu Yi and married into the Lu family by chance. Now, she was also part of the Lu family. Otherwise, how could Yan Huan be a match for her?

What Yan Huan had was just the first place. She could easily drag Yan Huan down and never allow her to succeed in life again.

When she left the room, her phone began to ring. She checked her phone. Immediately, she was annoyed when she saw the caller ID.

Why is she calling again? It was annoying that she was calling everyday.

“Hi, mom. What’s the matter?” She was speaking in an estranged tone. The caller was definitely not her mother, but Lu Qin’s mother – her mother-in-law.

“Muran, do you have anything to update me?” Qin Xiaoyue asked anxiously, wanting to know when was Su Muran going to bring her a grandchild. This baby would be the heir apparent of the Lu family. Su Muran had been treated unfairly by the Lu family for all these years. She was finally going to earn a footing in this family.

However, it had been almost two years and Su Muran still had not conceived yet. If she had a child, she would have slapped Ye Shuyun across her face. I, Su Muran, am going to have a son, and eventually, a grandson too. What does Ye Shuyun have? She has just lost a son and it’s impossible for her to get a grandson. Soon enough,Ye Shuyun will completely lose her status in the Lu family.

All she wanted now was for Ye Shuyun to kneel in front of her. She wanted to pay back those days when she was bullied by Ye Shuyun on her. It was time for Ye Shuyun to get a taste of her own medicine, the feeling of being ridiculed. Then, she would grind Ye Shuyun down for the rest of her life.

However, all of these could only happen provided that she could bear a child for the family.

Su Muran was displeased by Qin Xiaoyue’s question. A child for the Lu family? Su Muran and Lu Qin were in a mutually beneficial relationship. She was still in her prime. If she were to get pregnant now, her career would be hindered. Following her current progress, it was only a matter of time for her to win the best international actress award. It was ridiculous to ask her to quit her acting career and be a stay-at-home mother now.

“Mom, Lu Qin and I are both busy,” she impatiently dismissed Qin Xiaoyue’s question. She would leave Lu Qin to handle his mother, not wanting to be bothered by her blather.

Qin Xiaoyue sensed the hostility in Su Muran’s tone and was slightly disgruntled.

This is not how a daughter-in-law should behave. She’s behaving like an overlord.
