Chapter 552: A Silly With Lots Of Money They were the works of Mr. Shen Junru.

Again, he took out one more scroll from the box and saw that it was still Mr. Shen Junru’s artwork. In fact, they were all works of Mr. Shen Junru. Lu Jin had always been keen on the work of Shen Junru but he himself did not collect them. Moreover, these scrolls were obviously Shen Junru’s recent works. Hurriedly, he took all the scrolls into his study.

On the other hand, Ye Shuyun had gotten a set of red jade accessories just in time to match the new clothes that she had bought this year. Both of them were quite satisfied with the gifts from their daughter-in-law.

When visiting Old Master Lu on the first day of Chinese New Year, Ye Shuyun specifically wore her new red cheongsam and spoke to Lu Jin purposefully, “Lu Jin, take a look at my attire, what do you think? This set of jewelry Huanhuan gave me matches my cheongsam quite well, right?”

“Hmm... not bad.” Lu Jin knew that Ye Shuyun wanted to show off so he just let her be.

Qin Xiaoyue’s eyes were comparable to a viper as she glared ferociously at the huge gems and precious stones hanging from Ye Shuyun’s neck, ears, and fingers. They have such a money-making daughter-in-law, but what did she have? A money-making son? But how much could her son earn? She didn’t even know the ranking of her son at the moment.

“If only you married Yan Huan, that would have been so much better.”

Once again, she told her son enviously.

Imagine her son getting married to Yan Huan, those jewels and money would not have been theirs. The Lu family was rich, but the money was firmly in the grasp of the Old Master. Furthermore, the first wife had nothing, the only things they had were orphans and a widow. Even the house that they were staying in now was not theirs.

“Mom, what is the point of saying such nonsense?” The most annoying thing for Lu Qin was Qin Xiaoyue bringing up Yan Huan for no reason. What was the bloody point of bringing her up?

“Aren’t you very close to that Su Muran? You should marry her and bring her home.” Since Qin Xiaoyue had joined the Lu family, she had continuously compared herself with Ye Shuyun. In terms of children, of them had given birth to boys. When they were younger, Lu Yi had a dull character and did not talk much whereas Lu Qin was very clever and knew how to sweet talk others. Therefore, the teachers and the students in the school had liked Lu Qin better.

However, Lu Yi was very different. He had a boring personality and was inarticulate.

After that, at only seven years old, Lu Yi was thrown to the Lei family to study ancient martial arts with Lei Qingyi while Lu Qin continued his role as a jaunty handsome boy in the school.

In time, Lu Yi’s skills got better as Lu Qin got famous in the school, turning from a handsome ‘youth’ to a handsome ‘prince’. Almost half of the girls in the school had looked up to him as an idol.

On the other hand, Lu Yi’s presence was about as non-existent as a stuffed gourd. From middle school to high school until university, Lu Qin had worn a smile on his face and had gone through the school with a breeze. Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoyue had scoffed at Lu Yi every single day, telling him how handsome and how favored her son was, and that Lu Yi was the most ordinary and foolish boy to date.

At first, Ye Shuyun merely listened without taking it seriously, but the more she heard it, the more vexed she became. The entire reason that Ye Shuyun kept introducing girls to Lu Yi once he got a job was because she was worried Lu Yi would not be able to get a wife in the future.

Lu Qin was indeed handsome but his intelligence was rather limited. How intelligent could Qin Xiaoyue’s child be? Of course, Lu Yi himself had not been very outstanding himself at the time, but gradually, Lu Yi had begun to show his astonishing gift in Mathematics. He was quite sensitive to numbers and his perspectives were unique. He could identify any single mistake from a long essay, even if it was only an error in punctuation.

It was his gift that had caught the Procuratorate’s fancy when he was still in the university. As a result, he went straight into the Procuratorate right after graduating from university. Within a year, he had become an outstanding prosecutor in Sea City. Furthermore, the way he worked was just like his character, no flaw could be found in his plan. All of the cases that went through him were very successful.

As such, Lu Yi became a name that invoked fear. There was no one who was not scared of him. If he wanted to catch you, there was no way he could not. This was due to his way of thinking and his train of thought.

In comparison, Lu Qin was much more mediocre. From adolescence to maturity, he only knew how to take advantage of using his handsome face but had never learned to accomplish anything. Moreover, Lu Jing’s business had caused the loss of his house eventually, so Lu Yi had no choice but to let this stepbrother stay in his house. However, Lu Jing died in an accident a few years later, leaving Lu Qin and his mother behind.

What happened next was that Lu Yi, whom everyone thought would always stay single, married Yan Huan, the people’s best actress whereas Lu Qin was still single. After all, his career had just started, it was impossible for him to get married so soon. In addition, he had not found himself a suitable girlfriend, or to put it in other words, he was afraid to get married. However, if he could marry someone just like Yan Huan in her past life, that would be the best.

A silly with lots of money.

Of course, the current Su Muran was not a bad choice either, but she was not Yan Huan after all and it was unlikely that she would give up everything she had earned through the years for a single Lu Qin.

It would be hard, quite hard, very hard indeed for Lu Qin to seize something from Su Muran.

Lu Yi did not allow Yan Huan to go over there since he did not want Yan Huan to be on the receiving end of other people’s eye rolls, even if they were from Lu Yuanyang.

Old Master Lu’s already had a poor facial expression at the sight of Lu Qin’s family and it became even worse once he saw Lu Jin’s family.

“I heard that you obtained almost 30 scrolls of Shen Junru’s artwork, is that true? ”

The Old Master Lu lifted his eyelids to ask Lu Jin.

“Yes, dad.” Lu Jin nodded. He admitted those were his most prized possessions.

“How many scrolls are there?” Old Master Lu asked again.

“Erm...” Lu Jin had counted them just now one by one. “There are 32 scrolls altogether. Among them, 20 scrolls are calligraphies and 12 scrolls are drawings. All of them were gifted by my daughter-in-law.”

That many? Old Master Lu had heard from the security guard but did not notice it earlier. Once he heard that they were gifted by Yan Huan, he rolled his eyes immediately.

“Dad, if you like it I could send you a few scrolls within the next few days.” Lu Jin was preparing to part from his babies.

“Forget it. Anyway, that Shen Junru is still alive, I could get as many of his scrolls as I want.” Old Master Lu would never accept gifts from that woman. She had led his most outstanding grandson astray. She was an actress, a bit*h and he would never acknowledge her.

Once Old Master Lu said this, Lu Jin heaved a sigh of relief.
