Chapter 370 There are just too many targets to conquer.
A disabled tycoon in a wheelchair...
This is a common trope in romance novels set in wealthy families, and naturally, this setting wouldn't be absent from the world of this female-oriented dating sim.
This role actually ended up with the Lu family...
Ye Sanqing learned about this from the family relationship chart that Ye Yifan had given her before.
She wasn't watching this for the sake of palace intrigue, and besides, palace intrigue had nothing to do with her.
Rather, it was based on the principle of knowing oneself and one's enemy to win every battle. Since they were going to go anyway, they certainly needed to gather enough intelligence.
Although the Lu family genealogy and the relationships between related figures are extremely complicated, they are no challenge for Ye Sanqing.
In her past life, her grandmother's relationships in the palace were a hundred times more complicated than this...
In other words, things were simplified a lot after she came to power; otherwise, it might have taken her a whole book to write about.
Lu Wangqian's twin brother is named Lu Wangshen. Because he is disabled, he is considered a disgrace by the Lu family and is not allowed to appear in public.
In the early years when Lu Wangqian was active, he was occasionally mentioned by people, but as Lu Wangqian left for South America, Lu Wangshen seemed to be gradually forgotten.
It was precisely because of his disability that, although he was also a direct descendant, Lu Wangqian's departure meant that he was not in control of the Lu family's power. Instead, after years of struggle, the power fell into the hands of others.
Currently, Lu Dingzuo is the de facto head of the Lu family, and Lu Mingye, as his eldest son, is the recognized heir. In addition, Old Master Lu still holds several core industries firmly in his hands.
Others have one or two businesses, which are very scattered, but the Lu family is surprisingly united on the issue of bloodline, presenting a contradictory stability, which is why they are difficult to deal with.
Lu Wangshen may seem like just a useless person being kept around, but... does he really have nothing at all?
When Ye Yifan and Ye Sanqing were discussing it, Ye Yifan commented, "The little madman in the wheelchair... is quite interesting."
Ye Yifan couldn't quite figure out what stance this person had, but he wasn't someone who couldn't be used.
So Ye Sanqing looked around the Lu family's area, but didn't see Lu Wangshen.
It seems that he was even restricted from attending his own brother's wedding.
Ye Yifan also reminded Ye Sanqing that there were also potential romantic partners in the Lu family, including Lu Wangqian, Lu Wangshen, and Lu Mingye. She had to be careful of these two when attending the wedding, otherwise triggering the romance plot might cause some trouble later.
Moreover... the number of potential romantic partners may be more than those Ye Yifan mentioned.
After all, even 99 times doesn't necessarily mean you'll get all the routes and endings... Some characters are popular, so naturally their routes will be played more often. Some routes may be less popular, but that doesn't mean the author didn't write them.
Lu Wangqian is nothing to fear. Ye Sanqing doesn't even need to lift a finger. Just by marrying Ye Wanyin, he'll be digging his own grave sooner or later.
The other two were unfamiliar to me, and there was another foreigner named Edmund who required special attention. These three were the people I needed to be particularly careful about at this banquet.
According to Ye Yifan, this person is probably also hostile to the Lu family, so it's worth seeing if they can be won over.
However, no further information was available. All that could be said was that the Lu family had fallen in previous reincarnations, and the shadow of this person could be vaguely seen behind it, indicating that he was at least a person who kept his true abilities hidden.
While admiring the vast scope of the game's original creators' design, Ye Sanqing also paid close attention to the changes in the expressions of the other people.
Although the environment was dark, it didn't put any pressure on her.
Except for the third concubine, who sat with a stern face next to Old Master Lu, all the concubines of the Lu family sat at another table next to the main table.
These are considered relatively close seats; behind them are all sorts of relatives of the Lu family... There are almost twenty tables filled with family members who are considered important. It's amazing that so many people are still alive in this harsh environment of internal strife.
However, it's normal for there to be so many people, since Uncle San also has his own concubines.
Clearly, Lu Dingzuo's remarks shocked not only Lu Wangqian, but many others also showed expressions of surprise.
The Lu family is truly a deep and murky place...
No wonder the direct descendants are so deep and secretive... because the waters were already very deep to begin with.
Ye Sanqing felt a strange urge to laugh when he thought about this.
How could we not wish Ye Wanyin "success in the power struggle within the household"?
The subsequent ring exchange and other procedures went smoothly without any mishaps.
At this point, the lights came on, and after the bride threw her bouquet, everyone could start eating.
At this time, unmarried women of marriageable age would naturally step forward to offer their blessings.
Except for Ye Sanqing and her group's table, everything else remained completely still.
Ye Sanqing should not accept Ye Wanyin's flowers. Even if they are a blessing to others, they will definitely become a curse in her hands.
Gong Yao had no interest whatsoever, nor did Cheng Yiguan and Yu Canling.
Cheng Yiguan had no intention of including marriage in his life plan, while Yu Canling... She glanced at Fu Sizhou in the important seat, then at Fu Shaochen at the next table, a cold smile appearing on her lips.
I never expected that just coming here for some fun would bring up old stories.
If she accepts these flowers today, she'll be in for a lot of trouble later.
Since everyone else is not moving, I won't move either, so I won't stand out.
Since the main table is some distance from the stage, everyone who comes to catch the bouquet will gather here.
So everyone who came over saw that they were all motionless.
In fact, it was quite strange for Ye Sanqing not to move at all to those who only knew some of the gossip from the sidelines.
Ye Wanyin previously announced on Weibo that she was interested in Sheng Hanyu, which everyone saw.
Therefore, they naturally assumed that Ye Sanqing brought the other party here today to show off in front of Ye Wanyin.
To achieve this, one must catch the bouquet, so as to tell Ye Wanyin, "Look, you can only choose a backup option, while your first choice will soon be mine."
It has to be said that everyone was looking forward to a good show, especially since Ye Sanqing was so skilled; if she wanted to snatch something, there was no reason why she wouldn't be able to.
She's just sitting there now, with a completely calm and collected expression...
If she didn't come to Ye Wanyin's wedding to embarrass her, then what was she there for?
Ye Sanqing certainly didn't care whether others understood her or not. After the lights came on, she continued to observe the others.
A mysterious foreigner...hmm?
Edmund was indeed very conspicuous. His long silver hair was combed back and tied into a ponytail. He was tall and had an upright posture. From here, Ye Sanqing could only see his profile, and his facial features were also very sharp.
But the person next to him was even more conspicuous...
The person wore an ornate mask studded with jewels, revealing only their chin...
But that was enough for Ye Sanqing to recognize him. Wasn't this Mu Zimo? What was he up to?
Ye Sanqing nudged Sheng Hanyu's clothes under the table, gesturing for him to look in that direction.
Sheng Hanyu glanced at him and chuckled softly, "Besides colored contact lenses, can he also use masks to disguise himself...?"
Even so, he still whispered a few words to Ye Sanqing.
If Mu Zimo appears wearing a mask, then his identity is not that of a fashion designer, but rather the heir to the Russell family.
It seems the Lu family even sent invitations to their overseas counterparts.
So that table was full of foreigners?
Ye Sanqing nodded and noted it down. At that moment, Ye Wanyin threw out her bouquet.
