Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful! - Chapter 1010

1010 Do I Look Like a Sow to You?

Secretary Shao was naturally powerless against her. He said, “There’s still one alternative that does not involve selling my liver and kidney. We can get Zi Yi to design the wedding venue for free.”

Dou Yurui retorted, “Can you be more shameless? Do I look like the sort who likes to take advantage of others?”

“We don’t always need to worry about losing face. Sometimes, if people care too much, it will only make our lives hard. As for taking advantage of people, if it’s for small amounts of money, we naturally shouldn’t do it. However, if it’s going to bankrupt your man, then there’s no harm in taking advantage of others.”

Dou Yurui pondered for a few seconds. She looked at him in disbelief feeling strangely swayed. “Why am I starting to think you make sense?”

Secretary Shao suddenly smiled at her seductively. “Since we’re getting married, we have to be careful with the money. We should try our best to save money if we can.”

Dou Yurui was about to nod when she suddenly snapped out of her daze. She raised her hand and patted her chest as she said, “I nearly bought your words. If I don’t spend money on the wedding, when else should I spend it?”

“You can spend the money slowly. It’s not cheap to raise kids.”

“Can’t we even afford to have kids with our kind of salaries?”

Dou Yurui glared at him.

Secretary Shao smiled. “If it’s just two to three kids, we can still afford it. If you want eight to ten kids, then it might be a little difficult.”

Dou Yurui gritted her teeth and said, “Do I look like a sow to you?”

She shoved him aside huffily and walked away immediately.

Secretary Shao watched from behind as she left the living room before going to the side.

…

Zi Yi found Mrs. Lu in the kitchen.

Mrs. Lu was there watching the staff make breakfast. As she watched, she said to the chefs she hired, “Even though the breakfast doesn’t have to be fancy, everyone’s going to be very busy today and won’t be able to eat for a long time, so it has to last.”

One of the chefs replied reverently, “Mrs. Lu, don’t worry. I promise you everyone will be happy with breakfast.”

Mrs. Lu nodded.

Zi Yi greeted her. “Mom.”

Mrs. Lu turned to look at Zi Yi. She smiled and said, “Yiyi, what are you doing here? Are you hungry?”

Zi Yi walked up beside her and glanced at the ingredients in front of her. She said, “Yes, a little.”

She made a suggestion. “If we only eat breakfast, I’m sure we won’t last long. After all, we still have to receive guests. Why don’t we prepare some small snacks and place them in the guest lounge? Everyone can take a bite if they want to. Just make food around this big.”

As Zi Yi spoke, she gestured for something to be made roughly the size of glutinous rice balls. In reality, she simply wanted to sneak a bite when she could.

Mrs. Lu naturally knew her true intentions, but she agreed. “Yiyi, you’re right. This way, there’s something to eat if we get hungry.”

The chefs nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Lu left them to do their work.

Mrs. Lu and Zi Yi walked out of the kitchen. Mrs. Lu asked about the twins, “Where will the babies sleep? Everyone will be downstairs. What if it gets too noisy for them?”

“Mom, don’t worry.”

Zi Yi retrieved her phone and showed her the surveillance footage for the bedroom.

As she looked at the twins sleeping soundly, Mrs. Lu smiled happily. “Our twins are such good kids. They must have known we’ll be busy today, so they continued sleeping soundly on their own.”

Zi Yi smiled as well. “After breakfast, my aunt and the others can help look after them. This way, we won’t have a problem entertaining the guests.”

“Yes. Excellent plan.”

The four madams from the Dou family genuinely adored the twins, so Mrs. Lu felt the twins were in good hands.

After breakfast, it was only half past six in the morning.

Lu Jingye had an earpiece in his ear. Every now and then he gave orders and looked very busy.

At seven o’clock, a fleet of cars and chauffeurs had parked outside the villa ready to pick up the bride.

Zi Yi stood at the main entrance with Mrs. Lu. As she watched Lu Yunxiao walk toward the bridal car, Mrs. Lu beamed brightly. “This is great. In two to three hours, Anya will be here.”

Zi Yi smiled and said, “Mom, you can just sit back and wait for your second daughter-in-law to serve you tea.”

Mrs. Lu laughed out loud and said, “Not only is my second daughter-in-law going to serve me tea, but I can also brag about my grandchildren.”

At half past seven, they went to pick up the bride.

…

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Everyone knew that the Lu family was holding a wedding and celebrating the birth of a pair of twins today.

Meanwhile, at the National Sanatorium. A bunch of elderly people were sitting in front of the television watching the live telecast of the wedding procession.

“Second Master Lu has very good sons. The government sent plainclothes guards to escort the bridal car for the wedding and the streets are on lockdown.”

“Lots of esteemed guests are here today. Important people from a lot of countries are among them.”

“That goes without saying. Second Master Lu has a very impressive eldest daughter-in-law. Thanks to her, the epidemic was quickly put under control. I heard from my grandson that her aviation research base will start sending people into outer space in a few months. Also, her spaceship has gravity, so it’s just like being on earth.”

“She’s so awesome. Where did she learn how to do all these things anyway? If we didn’t already know her, I would suspect she’s from the future.”

“Haha! Even if she’s from the future, does it matter? She’s now one of us and married into the Lu family.”

“Absolutely. It doesn’t matter as long as she can do good for the country and citizens.”

“It’s too bad some people are getting old and confused and keep treating their good granddaughter-in-law harshly.”

As they gossiped, they talked about Elder Lu.

“Second Master Lu came with his boys to invite him over. I heard he refused to go.”

“He really doesn’t know better. Does he think he’s the father of the emperor? Does he think they can’t go on with the banquet without his approval?”

“He simply thinks too highly of himself.”

“If I had such good grandsons and granddaughters-in-law, I would laugh in my dreams.”

“Me too.”

…

Elder Lu heard everything standing from the door. He was so infuriated that he nearly wanted to cough up blood. He felt indignant inside.

They knew nothing of the truth, but they kept making wild accusations about him.

What made them think he didn’t want to go back?

God knew how much he wanted to see his great-grandchildren.

A couple of days ago, Lu Jiancheng came to see him along with Lu Jingye and Lu Yunxiao asking him to go back for the banquet. He could not lower himself, so he simply said he would think about it. The moment they left, the marshall unexpectedly called telling him he was not allowed to go anywhere on the 25th.

If it were anyone else, he would never give a hoot about it. However, it was an order from the marshall.

It was a military order, so it was unshakable. It was impossible for him to defy the orders!

Elder Lu felt angrier thinking about this. He decided to turn and walk off so that he did not have to hear them gossip.

Rather than listen to people pointing their fingers at him, he would rather go back and sleep!
