Chapter 390 The more real the feelings seem online, the more fake they are.
Simply.
Lu Mingye hadn't even sat down long before he received Cheng Yanye's message.
He grumbled inwardly, thinking, "This Lu Wangqian is really good at causing trouble!"
After Cheng Yanye apologized and the Ye family expressed their support, the situation was brought to a more respectable state. Why would anyone need to specifically send their men to beat Cheng Yanye again?
Even if we were to fight, couldn't we wait until Cheng Yanye left the Lu family before putting him in a sack and beating him?
It's not like I'm going to die right after today!
In other words, if Lu Wangqian were to die right after tonight, Lu Mingye would immediately go out and set off fireworks and firecrackers the next day to celebrate.
If Lu Wangqian hadn't been still offering toasts, Lu Mingye would have wanted to punch him a couple of times.
Lu Wangqian's wedding caused so much trouble that he ended up cleaning up all the mess. What kind of situation is this?
Although he probably welcomed some of these things... such as Lu Wangqian offending others, the more of these things the better.
Lu Mingye shook his head and told Wu Yin to handle it.
Lu Wangqian was stupid; wasn't this tantamount to handing over his weakness to him?
These underlings are perfect for making an example of.
Not long after, Wu Yin initiated the call. When Lu Mingye heard that Cheng Yanye was still trying to bargain, he felt like laughing.
Well, with Lu Wangqian's weakness in his hands, this little bit of apology is nothing, and Lu Mingye quickly agreed.
But... is Cheng Yanye really missing a screw in his head?
Since Ye Wanyin was going to marry into the Lu family, Lu Mingye naturally went to find out the specifics.
He didn't interfere because Ye Wanyin seemed to have a rather ordinary relationship with the Ye family.
Despite Ye Wanyin's efforts to portray herself as having a close relationship with the Ye family and her extensive marketing efforts, Lu Mingye could still see through the facade.
If Lu Wangqian's marriage partner is Ye Sanqing or Ye Yifan, then Lu Mingye will do anything to destroy that marriage.
As for Ye Wanyin... let her be.
She brought her shares with her husband when she married into the family, but she wasn't even listed in the family genealogy... What was she after?
It's impossible that she and Lu Wangqian are truly in love. If it were true love, Ye Wanyin wouldn't have called herself "Brother Mingye" back then.
Lu Mingye felt a chill run down his spine whenever he recalled that nickname.
On another note, Lu Mingye also took the opportunity to learn about Cheng Yanye, Ye Wanyin's ex-fiancé.
Given his past behavior, it's not surprising that he went berserk at Ye Wanyin's wedding. What's strange is that after publicly feuding with Ye Wanyin, he shouldn't be expressing regret at this juncture.
Could there be something else he missed...?
Lu Mingye fell into deep thought, mentally going through Ye Wanyin's interpersonal relationships from beginning to end.
However, he had limited information and could not draw any definitive conclusions. He could only make further decisions after contacting Ye Sanqing.
Lu Mingye glanced at Fu Sizhou across from him.
Fu Sizhou maintained the same attitude as before, treating Fu Shaochen with great affection and actively introducing Fu Shaochen to the others.
Lu Mingye knew very well that this was all an act.
Because he was involved in Fu Sizhou's entire plan.
This includes kicking Fu Shaochen out of the house, and Fu Shaojing's previous actions...
Today's events happened suddenly, and neither of them expected Fu Shaochen to come with Ye Jin'er. They could only temporarily have Fu Sizhou keep Fu Shaochen calm.
The plan wasn't thorough enough...
Lu Mingye then looked at Ye Sanqing, who seemed a little bored and started to space out after finishing his food.
Lu Mingye wasn't stupid. Although there was no concrete evidence pointing to the attack on some of the Lu family's peripheral businesses, he could tell that it was the Ye family's doing.
There might also be the Gong family.
He didn't react before because it wasn't the right time.
Besides, it wasn't his money that was lost, nor was it entirely his influence that was affected.
It seems that inaction was the right thing to do; a hasty response would have been a poor choice. The Ye family already has Fu Shao Chen in their grasp; who knows what other tricks they have up their sleeve?
Ye Jin'er's attitude today was the same. Lu Wangqian had only splashed ice water on him, and he hadn't even gotten a drop of water on him, yet he was already shouting about starting a war.
The current situation seems to suggest that both sides want to start a war, but neither wants to be the first to do so...
This situation would benefit Lu Mingye if it continued for a longer period of time, so he actively sought peace. Fortunately, Ye Jin'er didn't seem to be very serious; it was more like she was picking a fight with Lu Wangqian than actually declaring war.
He took the opportunity to test Ye Sanqing's attitude, and the other party did not seem to reject his contact, and Sheng Hanyu did not react much.
He knew that the more genuine a relationship seemed online, the more fake it actually was.
Otherwise, if someone is openly trying to steal another woman's partner, any man would react in some way.
Sheng Hanyu remained completely calm throughout, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
However, it's unlikely that there's absolutely no cooperation beyond that.
Cooperation can be achieved without any emotional foundation.
Lu Mingye temporarily marked their relationship as "unknown".
The fact that Wen Shumo will appear today is a loophole in Lu Mingye's plan.
He was well aware, of course, that Wen Shumo knew about his affairs.
After thinking it over, Lu Mingye decided that it was better to pretend nothing was wrong than to keep it a secret. This would first serve as a bluff, and secondly, it would reveal whether Ye Sanqing would use this to launch an attack against him.
Since he showed goodwill to Ye Sanqing in front of Wen Shumo, he knew that Wen Shumo, with her conscience, would not turn a blind eye to this and would definitely tell Ye Sanqing his true sexual orientation.
Lu Mingye's actions were tantamount to handing over his own weaknesses to others; it was nothing short of dark strategy.
Even if it weren't Wen Shumo, Lu Mingye had always been prepared for the possibility of being forced to come out publicly, so he would not be caught off guard.
In short, there are two paths. The first is that Ye Sanqing takes the opportunity to make trouble, in which case Lu Mingye will directly launch emergency measures, and at the same time, there will be no possibility of cooperation with the Ye family.
It was a bit rushed, but it wasn't without any chance of winning. At the very least, Lu Mingye would definitely be able to firmly grasp the power of the Lu family.
The second point is that the other party should not elaborate further and should maintain friendly contact afterward.
This would give Lu Mingye more leeway to deal with Lu Wangqian's affairs, and they might even be able to reach a cooperation agreement on this point.
Now it seems that Ye Sanqing is not the violent and brainless woman rumored, which greatly increases Lu Mingye's confidence.
In his mind, women are all short-sighted creatures who make a fuss at the slightest disturbance and are completely incapable of doing anything meaningful.
Not to mention relationships and marriage, Lu Mingye has witnessed so much ugliness in the inner quarters of the household since he was a child that the mere thought of marriage makes him nauseous.
He was really disgusting today.
But gender aside, Ye Sanqing seems to be a normal person...
Only normal people can discuss cooperation.
If Ye Sanqing is willing to cooperate, then things will proceed very smoothly.
After all... what the Lu family values most is bloodline.
Although Lu Mingye himself was somewhat disdainful of the Lu family's bloodline theory, Ye Wanyin and Ye Sanqing... it can only be said that there is a difference between the real and the fake.
Lu Mingye could not possibly have feelings for women. His actions were merely a strategic move to create a false impression in front of Old Master Lu and to mislead Lu Wangqian.
He had deliberately spread rumors to make Lu Wangqian think he was interested in Ye Sanqing, and now it seems the other party has fallen for the trap.
If Lu Wangqian were to fight with him over such a trivial matter, that would be perfect.
Today's events are enough to prove that Lu Wangqian has no sense of the big picture, but on this basis, he still has to fan the flames.
Because Lu Wangqian still has special privileges.
Lu Mingye had no doubt that if he were the one marrying Ye Wanyin today, he would have absolutely no connection with the title of heir.
Old Master Lu simply didn't include Ye Wanyin in the family genealogy; he didn't even utter a harsh word to Lu Wangqian.
Lu Wangshen... I wonder how much you saw today?
