Lu Yuan's Bad Taste

"Why is Sect Leader Ye silent?" Looking at Ye LingSu, who was speechless, Lu Yuan took another sip of tea and asked calmly.

"Since Hall Master Lu has said so, what else can I say?" Ye LingSu said with a wry smile after hearing Lu Yuan's words.

"Heh!" Lu Yuan chuckled softly as he looked at Ye LingSu's bitter smile.

"Hall Master Lu, if we set aside the matter of the marriage alliance, what are your impressions of my daughter?" Ye LingSu asked softly after a moment of silence.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "I have already said that Miss Ye is beautiful, has a cool and aloof temperament, and is dignified and generous. She is a very good girl."

"That's good." Ye LingSu smiled faintly upon hearing Lu Yuan's words.

"Sect Master Ye, do you perhaps have designs on a political marriage? If so, you'd better abandon that idea. This Hall Master does not accept any political marriages."

Lu Yuan's tone was calm, but resolute, filled with determination.

"Since Hall Master Lu has said so, even if I had such thoughts, I wouldn't dare to mention them in front of Hall Master Lu. It's just a pity that Lingling and I, as orphans and widows, will have to be bullied again."

Ye LingSu sighed, a look of sorrow on her face. Her watery eyes looked at Lu Yuan with a pitiful expression, appearing so weak and helpless.

It must be said that although Ye LingSu is older, she still retains her charm and doesn't look like she's over forty at all; she looks like she's only twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

In addition, her delicate face and voluptuous figure give her a mature and intellectual air, making her more sophisticated than a young girl.

At that moment, her pitiful eyes were truly enough to melt any man's heart.

It's just a pity that she was facing Lu Yuan, a man who was used to seeing beautiful women. The honey trap wasn't ineffective against Lu Yuan, but it depended on the level of the beauty. As for Ye LingSu, she was clearly still lacking a spark.

Despite Ye LingSu's pitiful appearance, Lu Yuan's face remained calm.

His eyes carefully examined Ye LingSu, but his mind was in turmoil.

Ye LingSu is quite a woman; she has many tricks up her sleeve. Is she pretending to be pitiful because she thinks I'm young and inexperienced, and wants to gain my sympathy?

Or perhaps they are taking advantage of young people's youthful vigor and restlessness, trying to seduce them with their beauty?

If it were a young man seeing such a beautiful woman with such a pitiful and sorrowful expression, he might actually soften his heart. But you've encountered me, Lu, which means you're destined to leave empty-handed.

You think you can use your beauty to seduce me? You're no better than Liu Erlong, maybe even worse. Liu Erlong is still chaste.

Lu Yuan thought to himself.

Ye LingSu wore a pitiful expression, her eyes pleading as she observed Lu Yuan's expression. To her disappointment, the young man was completely unmoved. Any man would feel pity for her looking like that, but this guy showed absolutely no reaction.

Could it be that my charm has declined lately?

Ye LingSu couldn't help but doubt her own charm, realizing that she couldn't even win over a young man.

"Sect Leader Ye just mentioned an orphan and a widow. Has your husband passed away?" Pretending to know nothing, Lu Yuan asked deliberately, his tone tinged with surprise.

"Yes, my husband has been gone for several years. All these years, I have been raising Lingling all by myself. Alas, we are an orphan and a widow. Without the pillar of the family, I don't know how much hardship we have endured. I am old, so it is alright, but Lingling is still young and has no one to rely on."

Ye LingSu spoke softly, sighed slightly, and the sorrow on her face deepened.

"So you still wanted to marry Ye Lingling to me, but the marriage didn't work out, so you're trying to play the victim and gain my sympathy? Women, women, you certainly have a lot of ideas." Lu Yuan thought to himself.

As Ye LingSu spoke, she kept an eye on Lu Yuan's expression. Just as Lu Yuan had thought, she still hadn't given up on marrying Ye Lingling to Lu Yuan. She had also figured it out: even if she only became the fifth child after marrying into the family, it would still be a huge benefit for Ye Lingling. Was there anyone in the world better or more outstanding than the young man in front of her?

Having missed out on him, can Ye Lingling find a better husband?

Absolutely impossible. So even if her own daughter were to become a concubine, she wouldn't want to give up Lu Yuan, this perfect husband. However, Lu Yuan's determination regarding the arranged marriage shocked her. Helpless, she could only resort to this method: playing the victim.

To be honest, there was genuine emotion in her words. After all, she had a tough time these past few years, and her words were quite touching.

Watching Ye LingSu's brilliant performance, Lu Yuan couldn't help but find it a little funny. This Ye LingSu had been playing tricks on him all along. Did she really think he had no temper?

As he pondered this, a wicked idea popped into Lu Yuan's head.

"According to what Sect Leader Ye said, since there is no pillar of support in the family, have you considered finding someone to rely on?" Lu Yuan said with a faint smile.

"Of course, I think Hall Master Lu is a man of great talent, and my daughter is also..." Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ye LingSu was initially delighted, thinking that her seduction and sob story had finally worked. She quickly spoke up, but Lu Yuan interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.

"Since Sect Master Ye is considering finding someone to rely on, what do you think of Senior Dugu from my Dragon King Hall? Senior Dugu currently all alone, and he is also Titled Douluo."

"Sect Leader Ye is still as beautiful as ever. If you could be with Senior Dugu, it would be a wonderful marriage. Moreover, with Titled Douluo protecting you, you orphans and widows would have someone to rely on."

"So, what do you think of my proposal, Sect Leader Ye?" Lu Yuan asked with a smile.

"This... this..." Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ye LingSu was completely stunned. She originally thought that her temptation and sob story had moved Lu Yuan, and that he had finally agreed to marry her daughter. She never expected that he would be her matchmaker, and the other party was Dugu Bo.

Thinking of Dugu Bo's old face, Ye LingSu shuddered and shook her head violently.

"What, Sect Leader Ye, are you dissatisfied with Senior Dugu? Is it because you dislike Senior Dugu's body full of poison and his granddaughter? Are you worried that Miss Ye will be bullied?"

Seeing Ye LingSu shake her head, Lu Yuan stroked his chin with his right hand and said, "In that case, what does Sect Leader Ye think of Mad Rhino Douluo? Mad Rhino Douluo is still single and has no family or children. Moreover, he is very clean. Marrying him would be a good choice for Sect Leader Ye."
