Chapter 652: 654, Calculating (One More Update)

In Zhao Yan’s impression, Mu Xianxian was an extremely kind, filial, and sweet-mouthed good girl.

Speaking of which, Zhao Yan was actually very fond of Mu Xianxian.

However, even if she liked Mu Xianxian, Mu Xianxian couldn’t hold a candle to Jin, not even one ten-thousandth as much.

After all, Jin was her own flesh and blood daughter.

No matter how good someone else’s daughter might be, she would always belong to someone else’s family.

"How could I not!" Luo Yu sobbed, her voice choking up as she said, "If Xianxian didn’t have ulterior motives for Zhixuan, why would she keep coming to our house every other day? And why is she so nice to you, offering unsolicited help? It’s either treachery or theft. Besides, she has her own mother to honor, and though unrelated to you, she still affectionately calls you Aunt Yuan; isn’t this an obvious case of ’the intent is clear for all to see’?"

Luo Yu turned around and threw back at Mu Xianxian the very taunts she had previously received from her.

Zhao Yan slightly furrowed her eyebrows, and upon careful thought, found Luo Yu’s words not without reason.

Mu Xianxian had her own mother to honor and yet kept coming here; what was she after?

It certainly wasn’t something an old lady like herself could offer.

It had to be Zhixuan!

That girl Xianxian was really out of line!

Trying to break up Jin and Zhixuan’s feelings for each other.

Immoral!

How did her parents even raise her?

How could she interfere as a third party!

No, no, she couldn’t let someone else ruin Jin and Zhixuan’s relationship.

In an instant, Mu Xianxian’s image in Zhao Yan’s heart plummeted.

"Jin, don’t be too heartbroken," Zhao Yan patted Luo Yu’s shoulder as she continued, "Mom really didn’t expect Xianxian to be such a child. From now on, our family won’t welcome her, and I won’t bother with her anymore. You can rest assured, Zhixuan is all yours, no one can snatch him away. You, just stop overthinking it."

"Mom, do you really mean that?" Luo Yu looked up at Zhao Yan and continued, "Will you really ignore Mu Xianxian from now on? And not let her visit our house anymore?"

"Of course I mean it," Zhao Yan nodded with a smile, "Silly girl, when have I ever lied to you? We Chu Family are respectable people; how could we associate with such people?"

Chu Jin was Zhao Yan’s only daughter.

So, as long as it was ’Chu Jin’s’ request, no matter right or wrong, Zhao Yan would unconditionally comply.

"Hmm," Luo Yu finally cracked a smile through her tears, "Thank you, Mom."

Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart—she had finally dealt with the trouble that was Mu Xianxian!

If Mu Xianxian stayed with Zhao Yan for an extended period of time, she would sooner or later detect something amiss.

She had to steer the long ship of life with caution.

"Silly child," Zhao Yan stroked Luo Yu’s head, "why the formality with Mom!"

"By the way, Mom," Luo Yu sniffled and continued, "do you have any of my old photos here? I want to see if I’m not as pretty as before and that’s why Zhixuan isn’t paying attention to me anymore."

Actually, Luo Yu wanted to see what this Chu Jin, whom she had never met, looked like—a heavenly beauty or not!

Was she prettier than herself?

Luo Yu wasn’t from the ordinary world, so she didn’t know about Chu Jin’s deeds in the ordinary world.

She had also never seen Chu Jin’s true face.

The internet in the Superpower World was different from that in the ordinary world.

Entertainment and life, they were not in the same system.

Therefore, Luo Yu had no idea that Chu Jin was the globally renowned National Goddess in the ordinary world.

"It seems not, you never really liked having your photo taken before, don’t worry, Jin is the prettiest little girl in the world, Zhixuan won’t dislike you," Zhao Yan comforted.

Chu Jin indeed wasn’t much for taking photos.

The pictures taken previously at Nanshan had mostly been collected by Mo Zhixuan.

The rest were likely in Miao Xinran and Mo Qingyi’s possession.

Upon hearing this, a hint of disdain flickered in Luo Yu’s eyes, this Chu Jin must not be good-looking.

Because generally, beautiful women love to take selfies.

Not only do beautiful women enjoy taking selfies, but they also like to post them on social media.

To let everyone know about their beauty.

Everyone envies them.

Only this way can they feel a sense of superiority.

Not liking to take photos does not meet the standards of a beauty.

Only ugly women don’t like to take selfies.

So, this Chu Jin must be an ugly freak.

Realizing this, Luo Yu felt even happier.

It made sense.

Her own beauty was unparalleled; no one in this world could compare to her.

"Mom," Luo Yu turned to Zhao Yan, cooing, "Can I ask you for one more thing?"

Her voice turned cloying; she seemed like a boneless creature.

Zhao Yan looked at Luo Yu affectionately, "What is it? Just say it, as long as it’s within my power, I will do it."

"Mom..." Luo Yu’s face flushed with a trace of embarrassment, "Can you find a way to make Zhixuan marry me sooner? Otherwise, I always feel uneasy in my heart, worried that he will be deceived by other little girls, you know, Zhixuan is the king of the Superpower World, there are so many girls who set their sights on him, and besides, there are so many beauties here..."

Luo Yu had made up her mind; she had to get Mo Zhixuan to marry her!

She would marry no one but Mo Zhixuan!

No one could steal her Mo Zhixuan away.

Hearing this, a smile emerged from the depths of Zhao Yan’s eyes, jokingly saying, "So our Jin wants to get married, eh!"

Luo Yu immediately put on an act of shy coyness, bashfully responding, "Ah, mom, saying it like that will make one shy..."

"Don’t worry, no one will take your Zhixuan away," Zhao Yan said with a laugh, "If Zhixuan dares to do anything to wrong you, I’ll be the first to not let him off! Xiu won’t let him off either, so you should stop fretting for nothing."

Zhao Yan was somewhat muddle-headed.

But she always remembered very clearly.

Mo Zhixuan truly loved Chu Jin.

The two were a match made by heaven.

"Mom..." Luo Yu shook Zhao Yan’s shoulders, a glimmer of darkness in her eyes, pleadingly said, "Please help me, I really want to be with Zhixuan as soon as possible, don’t you want to hug a chubby grandson soon?"

She must marry Mo Zhixuan immediately!

Lest more delays breed more complications.

While she could still make use of Zhao Yan.

She had to make full use of her.

"Hahaha," Zhao Yan’s face beamed with a smile, "Of course, mom wants to hug a chubby grandson soon, but these things, the man hasn’t even mentioned it first, how can you ask your mom to bring it up?"

Zhao Yan had rather traditional views.

She believed that girls should be reserved.

As for marriage, it should be the man who broaches the subject first; otherwise, it would seem devalued.

Her Jin was not someone unwed for lack of suitors, so why the rush?

"Mom," Luo Yu clung to Zhao Yan’s neck and refused to let go, whining coquettishly, "Please help me... You know that I really like Zhixuan. In the end, someone has to break the ice. If neither family makes a move, won’t I end up never getting married? Mom, dear mom, I’m begging you, otherwise, I’ll cry myself to death... Mom..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan’s eyelids drooped, her mind a whirl of thoughts.

She was contemplating.

In fact, what Jin was saying wasn’t without reason.

This sort of thing always required someone to make the first move.

If neither side did so, in the end, it would be Jin who suffered!

And indeed, Mo Zhixuan was so outstanding, Jin should be married off sooner. Only then could they avoid him being snatched away by another woman.

"Alright, alright," Zhao Yan patted Luo Yu’s hand, smiling, "Then mom will mention it to Zhixuan tomorrow and feel out his intentions."

Zhixuan too.

They had been engaged for so long, why had he not brought up marriage yet?

How could he let Jin wait like this?

A gleam of light flashed in Luo Yu’s eyes, her lips curled up in a smug arc, and she said with great joy.

"Thank you, Mom! I love you the most, you are the best mom in the world..." While saying this, Luo Yu planted a kiss on Zhao Yan’s face.

As a testament to the deep bond between mother and daughter.

Luo Yu’s acting skills were so high that, had an outsider been present, they would definitely have mistaken her for an extremely filial daughter.

"Silly child..." Zhao Yan’s face oozed indulgence as she caressed Luo Yu’s head.

"But... Mom," Luo Yu’s smile vanished, then she raised her eyes, a troubled expression on her face as she continued.

"Mom, just bringing it up to Zhixuan won’t be enough. What if Zhixuan isn’t ready to marry yet? You’ll have to bring it up with Mrs. Mo as well. Only if Mrs. Mo agrees will I be able to marry Zhixuan as I wish, so you must make a trip to the Mo Family personally."

Mrs. Mo and Zhao Yan were as close as sisters and their bond was deep; Zhao Yan was confident that any suggestion she made would be agreed upon by Mrs. Mo.

Moreover.

She herself was no slouch!

Probably ten times better than that Chu Jin!

Mrs. Mo had no reason to reject this marriage.

This act would not only heal Zhixuan’s hurt feelings but also reunite the two families in joy.

It was a perfect solution.

Luo Yu’s plans were very well thought out and perfect.

Zhao Yan nodded vigorously, in full agreement, "Okay, then I’ll find a chance to talk to the in-laws about it."

"Mom," Luo Yu persisted, continuing, "This is a lifetime matter for your daughter, so we can’t delay. Better to choose an earlier date, and I think the day after tomorrow would be good. You should discuss this with Mrs. Mo the day after tomorrow."

This sort of thing couldn’t be delayed! You had to strike while the iron was hot!

Luo Yu was dying to get into Zhixuan’s bed right then and there.

Considering Zhixuan’s age wasn’t getting any younger, and he had no woman by his side, she felt pity for him.

As a maiden herself, not to mention looking like Chu Jin, and more importantly, being prettier than Chu Jin, how could she fear she wasn’t worthy of Mo Zhixuan?

When it came to being a match.

In this world, she thought, no one besides herself was worthy of Mo Zhixuan.

The more Luo Yu thought about it, the more she felt this was the case.

"Yes, yes, yes," Zhao Yan indulgently stroked Luo Yu’s head, "as you wish, I’ll go tomorrow."

"Mm, thank you, Mom." Luo Yu hugged Zhao Yan’s arm, excited.

The thought of marrying Mo Zhixuan soon had her almost flying with joy.

Soon, the man destined to be the Lord of the Three Realms would belong to her completely!

After that, she would be the most prestigious woman in the entire world!

She could trample all other women under her feet.

Everyone would have to address her respectfully as "Lady Ji."

The more she thought about it, the brighter Luo Yu’s eyes became.

It was as if.

At that moment, she had already become Lady Ji.

Her lips were heavy with a thick smile.

"This child," Zhao Yan joked with a laugh, "Isn’t it just getting married? Look at you, all giddy. Quickly go get ready, dress up nice and pretty, and we’ll go to the Mo family the day after tomorrow together."

"Yes, Mom," Luo Yu immediately got up from the chair, "I’ll go put on a face mask now and then let’s go shopping at the mall together tomorrow? I need to buy clothes, and I also want to get a new hairstyle."

Luo Yu didn’t have many chances to go to the Mo Family.

On the rare occasion that she went there, especially to discuss such an important matter, of course, she wanted to dress beautifully.

It was essential to make a good impression on Mrs. Mo.

Only by winning over her future mother-in-law would her path ahead be more secure.

"Alright, I’ll go with you," Zhao Yan patted Luo Yu’s hand with a loving look on her face.

In Luo Yu’s downcast eyes, there was nothing but smugness.

In the corner, the strange fragrance burned faster, and Zhao Yan’s expression grew increasingly tired, soon she leaned back on the chair and fell asleep.

Her lips curled in a hint of a smile.

It was one of contentment.

Seeing this, Luo Yu picked up a woolen blanket, casually draping it over Zhao Yan, chuckled softly, and then left the room after closing the door.

In the past, the servants had all addressed her respectfully as "Miss."

And now.

Luo Yu held her head even higher.

With Chu Xiu focused on her studies, it meant that in this household, apart from Zhao Yan, it was Luo Yu who called the shots.

Luo Yu, arrogant and with an inflated sense of self-worth, acted like she was part of the family, when she clearly was an outsider.

Thus, the servants of the Chu Family didn’t like her much.

But they couldn’t help that the lady of the house favored her.

And even treated her as if she were her own daughter.

So, even if the servants didn’t like her, they could only grumble about it privately.
