Chapter 194
"What's the question? Ask it." Lu Jiwen nodded.
"You always want to marry into the Qi family. What's the point? Dad, you are suffering from ALS now. You will become a vegetable in the future. Is there any meaning for all the money and material things?"
"Manman, don't you understand? Mom and Dad are doing this for you..." Lu Jiwen smiled bitterly.
"Your mom and I suffered a lot when we started our business when we were young. We don't care whether you have money or not, but we don't want you to be eliminated in the struggle among the big families in Haipu City in the future.
If it really comes to that, others will not treat you as respectfully as they do today. Everyone will measure their attitude towards you by your worth and status. This is human nature."
"Do you understand? Mom and Dad can't help you anymore, so marrying Qi Bin is the best result. Qi Bin is very capable. You won't suffer if you follow him."
Lu Manman's face still didn't show any ripples.
"Now our Lu family's assets are enough for our family to spend for a lifetime, why do we have to do these things?"
After saying this, Lu Manman's eyes became more determined: "I admit that I don't have the business acumen like you, Dad, and I am not interested in taking over the family business, but why can't I live like an ordinary person?"
"Whether it's money or status, I have no interest in these at all, and money and status don't make me happy."
"Do you know when I felt the happiest? Once when I was a few years old, at that time, our family of three lived together every day. Although the days at that time were not as rich as they are now, the family got along really quickly. Later, life gradually got better, but that feeling no longer exists..."
"Until I graduated from college, I joined Xingyao Company, where I met many good friends. Compared with the road paved for me by my family, I prefer to live in my own way. During the time at Xingyao Company, I felt really happy and free..."
As she spoke, Lu Manman couldn't help but smile, but it quickly disappeared.
"I have decided that I will not take over the Lu family's company, and I will not agree to the marriage with the Qi family."
A resolute expression appeared on Lu Manman's face.
"Let me stay with you for the rest of the time, and let me choose my own life, okay? Mom and Dad?"
Seeing Lu Manman's determination, several people looked at each other, and no one spoke in the end.
"Maybe, we think too naively, big brother."
Lu Qiankuan walked to the side of Lu Manman and touched her hair.
"Big brother, in the past, as long as it was your decision, I would unconditionally support it, because I know that every time you make a decision, it is the most correct, but this time I think Xiaoman is right. Although you are Xiaoman's father, you have no right to interfere in her own life.
As she said, whether she lives a good or bad life in the future is her own choice. As long as she lives a happy life, it's fine. What do you think?"
Lu Jiwen and Guan Ying looked at each other.
The two were silent for a long time.
Finally, Guan Ying nodded. She walked to Lu Jiwen and held his hand tightly: "Our daughter has grown up, let her go. You are like this, do you still want to control her? You have planned for Manman for so many years, but the final result is not what your daughter wants. What's the point?"
Guan Ying seemed to have come to her senses. She sighed and then looked at the traffic on the highway outside the window.
"Everyone has his own way."
Lu Jiwen smiled helplessly: "I am like this, so I naturally have no right to interfere in the future. Okay, Manman, Dad promises you that you will decide for yourself in the future, and I will not interfere again..."
"It's a pity that it's too late. I have been working hard all my life just for Manman to live a better life. Now it seems that those are not what Manman wants. If I had known this, why would I waste all my time on work..."
Lu Jiwen wanted to try again to raise his hand, but he failed in the end.
"Maybe this is God's punishment for me. I'm not a qualified father..."
Speaking of this, Lu Jiwen paused, as if he remembered something.
"Then what will happen to the Lu family in the future..."
Without waiting for Lu Jiwen to finish, Lu Qiankuan said with a firm look: "Brother, don't worry. I will help Manman take care of domestic affairs in the future. The company's overseas market is still taken care of by my second brother. The shares under your name are still Manman. We are all a family. Even if you fall, I willThe two of us will also support the Lu family, you don't have to worry. "
Lu Jiwen heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and the burden in his heart was finally completely put down.
"Then I feel relieved..."
"Tomorrow's engagement party, I will go and tell the Qi family about this matter in person. "Lu Manman said.
"Well, Manman is really sorry. If I hadn't taken the initiative to find the Qi family before, this wouldn't have happened..." Lu Jiwen looked regretful.
Lu Manman stood up and remained silent for a long time.

In the house, Chen Rui held a delicate pair of tweezers in his hand, with two plump mealworms firmly clamped on the tweezers.
He carefully placed the mealworms in a dark and deep hole in a square glass cabinet on the side.
Half of the space in this glass cabinet is fertile soil, and there are some dry wood mixed in the soil, as if some mysterious things are being cultivated.
After putting down the mealworms, Chen Rui looked at the dark and deep hole with interest. cave, his eyes full of eager anticipation.
Soon, a spider about the size of a palm slowly crawled out of the cave. The spider had bright yellow patterns on its body, and the pattern looked like a majestic tiger.
Soon, the spider bit the mealworm tightly in its mouth, and then dragged the mealworm into the depths of the cave at a very fast speed.
At this moment, Chen Rui's face instantly became excited, his cheeks flushed slightly, and his eyes flashed with excitement.
"Sometimes I suspect that you are not only a lunatic, but also a pervert. You are so excited to see this kind of thing, tut tut tut..."
A crisp and pleasant voice sounded outside the door.
Huang Que tucked a few strands of hair in front of her eyes behind her ears and looked at Chen Rui with contempt.
"Oh? Why are you here? Why is there no sound at all?"
Hearing Huang Que's voice, Chen Rui didn't care, and his eyes still stayed on the picture of the spider eating.
"I came early, but I didn't disturb you because you seemed to be very focused. "The yellow bird leaned slightly against the wooden door.
"The scientific name of this spider is the tiger-striped bird-catching spider, which is a large poisonous spider. This spider is not only very aggressive, but also highly poisonous. I like their hunting method. Look at their fur that resembles tiger stripes. Don't you think it's beautiful? This is a work of art!"
"Tsk tsk... I'm not interested, and I think it's disgusting!" The yellow bird still looked contemptuous.
The breeze in the bamboo forest blew, and the bamboo leaves collided, making a rustling sound.
"Is the batch of "goods" shipped from the dock still useful?" Chen Rui picked up another mealworm and threw it into the glass cabinet.
