<h4>Chapter 238: Madam, Miss Ning Seems To Be Pregnant.</h4>


    The achievements that he have today were all based on his own wise and farsighted strategy. He was able to achieve this level of greatness step-by-step; it had nothing to do with the Lu family.


    Lu Shaomingzily leaned his handsome back against the chair. He did not frown. His dark eyes were deep and threatening as he said, “Mum, there are many brothers supporting the Lu family actually. The sess of both the Empire Corporation and Lu’s territories has been wrongly attributed. This sess has always been in the spotlight for others to vie for on the surface. At the time you married dad, were you already the matriarch of the entire Lu family? No. Could Dad always could choose to travel the world with Old Man Zhou so casually? Could he so casually appreciate paintings and enjoy music? Also no.


    “You are insistent that you and Dad can stand on the peak of Lu’s assets and received both admiration and respect and thus act so recklessly. That is all because you have a son, and he is called Lu Shaoming! Who taught you to act so arrogantly towards the person you are reliant on?”


    Song Yajing’s entire body was shaking. “You....”


    Lu Shaoming continued with a smile and said, “Mum, to be honest, you are a sessful mother. You had many expectations towards me from a young age. I have fulfilled them all. I am direct and confrontational in the corporate sector, and I am able to produce clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another. Wasn’t this all you wanted? Mum has always been an intelligent person. Why do you not understand that a person like me, a sessful man at the age of 31, still needs anyone to involve themselves with my marriage or my life?


    As he spoke, Lu Shaoming slowly rose up. “Mum, you contemte it thoroughly. The status of the son of the Lu family — if you wish for me to take it on, I will. If you don’t wish for me to do so, I am also not too interested in it. The rtionship between us as mother and son has always been shallow. If you are insistent on pushing me away, then I will wait for you until the day you need me to provide for your retirement. I will only return then.


    Lu Shaoming walked towards the main doors, and he did not turn to look back. “The entire life that Mother has led so far has been based on what you can stand to gain. I hope that you can weigh your powers properly. Myst sentence would be, Ning Qing is my bottom line, I hope you would not touch her again!”


    “Bang!” The main doors of the vi were shut.


    Song Yajing was extremely furious, and she could almost not catch her breath. “Unfilial son... This unfilial kid, what did that woman enchant him with? He doesn’t even want his own surname anymore!”


    “Aunt, don’t be too angry. It’s not good for you.” Zhou Zhilei quickly came forward tofort her.


    At this moment, the old butler of the Lu family walked over. “Madam.”


    Song Yajing was emotionally distraught, she hit the surface of the table and asked him, “What is wrong with today? Who was it exactly that went to order someone to kidnap Ning Qing?”


    She really did not order anyone to kidnap Ning Qing.


    Lu Shaoming’s personality was cold and calm. He was always alert. She ordered someone to hit Yue Wanqing only to give a small warning to Ning Qing. She did not dare toy her hands on Ning Qing directly.


    As Lu Shaoming said. He had a huge influence in the Lu family, and he was also the sessor of the entire Lu Corporation.


    The old butler looked to be hesitant and he said, “Madam, I have already asked someone to investigate it. The van that purposely kidnapped Ning Qing had left the alley and disappeared into thin air. Its tracks seem extremely suspicious.”


    Song Yajing listened to his words and was silent for a moment. She looked towards the old butler and said, “You are saying...”


    The old butler nodded his head and said, “I am afraid so...”


    Pa! Song Yajing hit the surface of the table. Both her eyes had fire in them. She clenched her teeth and said, “Such a good move — framing someone else! This Ning Qing turns out to be someone whom I can’t underestimate!”


    At this moment, a cell phone rang. Someone was calling her.


    Song Yajing looked at the number. She calmed down the anger in her heart and answered the call. “Hello, Miss Ning...”


    “Hello, Mum.” Ning Qing was standing on the balcony in her own vi. One of her hands was in her pocket and was looking at the beautiful night view of the city from afar.


    “Miss Ning, those people who kidnapped you had been hired by you. You wanted to frame me for this?”


    “Heh.” Ning Qing slowly curled her lips into a smile. Both her eyes were sparkling brighter than the stars in the night sky. Underneath the sparks was a touch of ice. She said, “Mum, what are you talking about? I don’t understand? This move of acting dumb and mute... It is Mum who taught me how.”


    Song Yajing had ordered someone to hit her mother. When she called her on the phone to question her, she had replied with this line, and now she was giving her a taste of her own medicine.


    Song Yajing closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Both eyes were on the brink of shooting fire. “Miss Ning, the way you are destroying the rtionship with me now, did you ever think of the consequences?”


    Ning Qing moved, and she had an easyugh while she said, “I have considered it. Didn’t Shaoming go to look for you? Mum wanted to harm me. I definitely do not have the ability to protect myself, but I do have Shaoming. He loves me, so I depend on the love he has for me.”


    “Miss Ning, you are making use of him like this...”


    “Mum.” Ning Qing interrupted her words and said, “Don’t ever say that I am making use of him. If not for him, I would not still be epting your innumerable obstacles and insults. I love him, so no matter how hard it gets, I will not give up on him. He loves me. What he is doing right now is what he should do. I, Ning Qing, am worthy of the love that he has for me.”


    Song Yajing quietly exhaled through her chest and said, “So this call of yours is to demonstrate your power?”


    “If Mother thinks that I am demonstrating my power then I guess I am demonstrating my power. After these matters, Mother should understand that whatever happens to me now, Shaoming will me on you. Since Mother cannot ept me, then we wille to terms. Don’t ever harm my family or friends, and I will not create trouble for you.”


    “You!”


    “Mum, I still hope that we can happily be a family. Making Shaoming choose between us... Don’t you pity him at all?”


    She pitied him so much, so she treated Song Yajing as her own mother from the bottom of her heart.


    The other end was silent, then she heard that familiar hum. Song Yajing had ended the call.


    ...


    “Atrocious!” Song Yajing angrily threw the phone onto the ground.


    “Madam, do we want to...” The butler asked for permission.


    “Want to do what? Didn’t you hear the words that Shaoming said to me? We should start to pray that Ning Qing does not meet with any trouble from now on. If she does, I do not know what other things Shaoming would do for that woman.” Song Yajing was furious beyond words.


    Zhou Zhilei felt her heart sink. She knew that Song Yajing was making apromise.


    That was right. The words that Lu Shaoming said directly stabbed through Song Yajing’s Achilles’ heel. No matter how outstanding Song Yajing was, the rest of her life, the future of the Lu family — it was all still on Lu Shaoming’s shoulders.


    That incredibly outstanding man had the ability to make anyone on earth fear him the consequences of crossing him.


    In the future, Song Yajing would never personally go against Ning Qing. She wanted to borrow Song Yajing to get rid of Ning Qing, and this task was getting harder and harder.


    She was definitely atrocious; that Ning Qing was way too cunning!


    She did not make a move herself, but she used a n to let Lu Shaominge out and attack instead.


    She used a bold and cunning strategy.


    Zhou Zhilei suddenly thought of the words Lu Shaoming had just said. He said.... [She, she has been angry with me these past two days. She did not allow me to eat dinner in her house. This morning, she wanted me tofort her and had me watch a Korean drama. Even when I wanted to touch her, she gave me a kick and left.]


    Zhou Zhileiughed in her heart. She did not know that a cold and threatening man like him could love a woman and be so pampering in the process.


    How did they behave with each other when they were alone?


    He wanted to have a meal in her house? What was so nice to eat there?


    Watching a Korean drama? It was amazing that he could even consider that!


    He wanted to touch her?


    Zhou Zhilei’s heartbeat raced quickly.


    If he could treat her like this, she would be willing to die for him.


    “Madam, there is still something that I feel is amiss, so I am reporting it to you,” the butler said cautiously.


    “What is it?”


    “Madam, Ning Qing has had signs of nausea recently. And she especially likes to eat sour things. I don’t know if she is...pregnant?”


    “What did you say?” Song Yajing’s facial expressions changed quickly, and she stood up in a sh.


    Pa! The cup of water in Zhou Zhilei’s hand fell onto the ground.


    ...


    In the Ning Vi


    Lu Shaoming pressed the doorbell, and Ning Zhenguo came to open the door.


    “Young Master Lu, you are here.”


    “Uncle, how are you? Is Ning Qing home?”


    “She is.” Ning Zhenguo weed him in passionately and said, “Ning Qing did not feel toofortable after she returned. She has been inside her room sleeping. Will Young Master Lu go check on her?”


    “Sure.” Lu Shaoming lifted his feet and went upstairs.


    At this moment, he saw Yue Wanqing walking through the door. Yue Wanqing saw him and was jubnt. She said, “Young Master Lu, are you here to look for Qingqing? Stay for dinner in my house tonight. I will go to prepare the dishes!”


    “There is no need for that, Aunt. I will leave after I take a look at Ning Qing. There are still things to do in the office today. Aunt, are your legs feeling better now?” Lu Shaoming asked politely.


    “They are much better. It is only skin deep. See, I am even able to walk now...” As she spoke, Yue Wanqing took two steps forward and gave a benevolent smile. “Young Master Lu, even if there are things to do at the office, you still have to eat dinner. Young people must love and cherish their own bodies, don’t be shy, there are dishes at home.”


    Lu Shaoming looked at Yue Wanqing and felt warmth in his heart. He did not enjoy his mother’s love as a child. He thought that he did not need it, but on Yue Wanqing, he could see the shadows of how a mother should be, and he felt touched.


    “Thank you, Aunty.”


    “What are you thanking me for? We will be family in the future. Young Master Lu, go take a look at Qingqing.” Yue Wanqing went downstairs.


    Family...


    Lu Shaoming heard these words and felt his emotions lighten up. Before he met Ning Qing, he did not ever wish for a warm home.


    Now, what he wanted was right in front of his eyes.


    He sent Yue Wanqing off to the kitchen with his gaze, and he opened the door to Ning Qing’s room.


    ...


    He walked into the room and the girl was sleeping in bed.


    A cute small ball was curled inside a soft pink nket. Her hair was on the pillow and it brought out azy kind of beauty.


    Lu Shaoming felt his heart soften. He lifted his feet to walk to the side of the bed. She slept facing away from him. Her face that was in deep sleep was only palm sized, and she looked like a pure, innocent angel.


    “Ning Qing,” he called out softly as he bent down.


    The girl pouted her pink lips and did not bother with him. She turned over to sleep.


    Was she not asleep?


    Lu Shaoming smiled and had a pampering gaze. She could actually pretend to sleep, but now she made an “I am very angry” pose, and what she meant behind it was —e andfort me quick.


    He knelt on the bed. He put his right hand on her side and took her into his embrace. “Baby, I am sorry. I did not protect you well, I have settled it all. No one who would harm you again, I promise.”


    “Hmph.” The girl pouted her cherry lips, fluttered her butterfly-wingshes, and did not acknowledge him.


    “I know, as for what happened in the afternoon, I didn’t do that on purpose. You were behaving like that. In that position, no man would be able to control himself. Didn’t you also give me a kick? I’m the one who was ufortable!”


    “You have the guts to say that...” Ning Qing turned over andy down t. She poked his chest with her whitish-pink hand and said, “You think that all the men in the world are as perverted as you?”


    Lu Shaoming held onto her small hand and lowered his gaze to kiss her.
