Chapter 19 - Lu Liting, who was eavesdropping by the door: ... F*ck! (1)
Lu Lixing was relapsing. Everyone's heart was stretched taut.
Feeling partially guilty, Ji Qingqing glared at Lu Liting.
It made sense that his relapse was caused by them. Lu Lixing was such a calm and arrogant person. Even if she and him didn't have feelings for each other, they were still a married couple! Witnessing his wife and younger brother having an ambiguous exchange, he was sure to have felt angered by their shamelessness. Moreover, Lu Lixing was already a person approaching death. How could he withstand this anger?
Ji Qingqing prayed that she wouldn't inadvertently angered Lu Lixing to death.
The door to his room was pushed open. A doctor walked out while shaking his head. It was the same as before. A blunt translation of that gesture would be, no way to save the patient, only death awaited him.
Ji Qingqing let out a sigh of relief.
Lu Lixing was doomed to die soon, but dying from illness and dying from anger were two different things.
"You seem disappointed that my older brother isn't dead?" A sharp voice sounded by by Ji Qingqing's ear. "Are you waiting for him to die? Too bad for you though. Even if my older brother dies, you won't get any of his inheritance!"
Ji Qingqing looked at Lu Liting in askance. Anyways, Lu Liting knew the novel's Ji Qingqing's character, so she didn't have to pretend.
"Since you're already talking like that, there's no need for me to pretend. You're right. I came here for your older brother's money. I heard that he's worth 100 billion yuan. I'm his wife. I'll be the first in line to inherit his money. If I can't get it, do you think you, as his younger brother, will get anything?"
Lu Liting surprisingly smiled after hearing Ji Qingqing's words. "I knew it. You haven't changed at all. Do you really think you're going to inherit his money and assets because you're his wife? Ji Qingqing, this is the Lu family. Everything that my older brother has belongs to the Lu family. When he dies, I'll be the Lu family's successor!"
He remembered how innocent and sweet their relationship had been before she broke up with him. He would never be able to forget her smile from that time, but he would also never forget her smile as she held that second generation rich brat's hand and got into his car.
Even if the idea of love was a beautiful thing, it was nothing in the face of money.
Ji Qingqing sneered. "Lu Liting, you really not very knowledgeable, huh? It's the law that spouses, parents, and children are the first order successors. Siblings are behind that group in inheritance rights. As a second order successor, what right do you have to scare me? Who gave you such a shameless face?"
"Do you think my grandfather will let you inherit such a large amount of assets?"
Of course, Ji Qingqing knew that Elder Lu wouldn't allow her to inherit all of Lu Lixing's wealth. She just wanted to rile up this vile assh*le!
"Actually, the money part isn't that important to me. I agreed to marry into the Lu family because I want to enjoy hearing you call me older sister-in-law."
Hearing these words, Lu Liting froze in surprise for a moment.
"I was wondering why you chose the Lu family when there are so many other rich families you could have chosen from. It's because you can't forget about me, huh?" Lu Liting narrowed his eyes. "Once my older brother dies, how long do you plan on observing the mourning period as his widow? Isn't there a tradition in ancient times of levirate marriages...."
(T/N: Levirate marriage is when the brother of a deceased man is obligated to marry his brother's widow.)
Translation Ramblings: Lu Liting is so disdainful of the novel's Ji Qingqing's choice in dumping him for a second generation rich brat, but isn't he also a second generation rich brat? He hasn't accomplished anything by his own merits. Does he even have a job?
