Chapter 584: Chapter 584 When Are You Getting Married? Chapter 584: Chapter 584 When Are You Getting Married? Lu Zhu showed no expression, but the Yue Family members were concerned she might feel embarrassed.

Zhang Ying immediately walked outside.

Children of this age are very sensitive.

If they stayed around and watched, it might make Qingqing’s roommate even more embarrassed, which wouldn’t be good.

It wasn’t until they reached downstairs that Lin Yushan suddenly remembered.

“Lu Zhu, are you perhaps the second-place winner of the recent secondary school joint exam?”

That unprecedented joint exam had been reported by numerous newspapers and media outlets.

Aside from the cheating scandal involving an invigilator in Zhuancheng, it also featured many outstanding students.

Lu Zhu was one of them.

Lin Yushan’s dormitory subscribed to the newspaper,
which included a special report on Lu Zhu that praised her with the quote, “Cling to the green mountains with unwavering determination, as roots are firmly set within the cracked rocks.”

They believed it was indeed a matter of pride for her to have achieved such results under such difficult circumstances.

Yue Qingqing also recalled the principal’s slightly regretful words, saying the first place in the city had bonus points for national competitions, while the second place was a martyr’s family member.

It seemed that Lu Zhu was that martyr’s family member.

Hearing Yue Qingqing’s words, the Yue family members became solemn and respectful.

Yue Jiandong, in particular, thought of his family’s difficult past and advised, “This child is amazing, it seems her family is not in the best condition right now, and since you are classmates and roommates, remember to help each other out.”

Yue Qingqing nodded naturally.

Zhang Ying, recalling that child’s gaze, felt that Lu Zhu was likely not one to easily accept help from others.

However, this wasn’t something for the adults to worry about, and the group quickly moved on to another conversation topic.

While talking, they arrived at the biggest restaurant near the school.

After they were seated and chatting for a while, the topic gradually shifted to Yue Jiannan.

Yue Jiandong bluntly said, “Third brother, when do you and Yushan plan to have the wedding banquet? Mom keeps mentioning it at home; she brings it up every phone call and you’ve never given a clear answer. Today I am going to ask you on her behalf.”

The entire Yue Family truly liked Lin Yushan.

They were also eager to see the couple get married.

But the third brother was slippery as an eel; every time the topic was brought up, he would skillfully change the subject.

Lin Chunju was so worried that her son would dawdle and let the girl down that she was almost tempted to come to Lingguang to drag him back.

Yue Jiannan, seeing there was no escape, quietly held Lin Yushan’s hand and confessed the truth.

“Of course, I hope it happens as soon as possible. Finding Yushan is the blessing of many lifetimes for me; how could I not want to marry her?”

Lin Yushan looked down shyly, a flush of red blooming on her cheeks.

But Zhang Ying frowned, expecting that there was bound to be a ‘but’ coming from the third brother.

And sure enough–
“But I can’t propose to her empty-handed, can I? I’ve only been working for a little over a year, and Yushan has just started her internship; eventually, we have to move out of the dormitory.”

Yue Jiannan might seem unreliable in many aspects, but he had actually given this a lot of thought.

He felt that since Yushan could see something in him, Yue Jiannan, he couldn’t let her down; at the very least, he needed to buy a house.

But the housing prices in Lingguang were different from Zhuancheng.

Over these years, Yue Jiannan had gone from an undergraduate to a graduate student, and had hardly saved any money.

Even if he started selling his blood now, turning into a dried-up husk, he still wouldn’t be able to afford it.

Yue Jiandong became somewhat angry, “All this we’ve already prepared for you at home, so give me a straight answer.”

But that was Yue Jiannan’s honest feeling.

“I can’t rely on my family for everything, can I? Today, you buy me a house, and later a car? When my children are born, or when they need to be married off, should the family pay again? I can’t take that kind of shame.”

Yue Jiandong was itching with frustration; why was this kid so stubborn?

When he and the second brother were getting married, wasn’t it the family who helped out with the money?

Yue Jiannan had been away studying for several years, and now he suddenly decided he needed to assert his independence? Why couldn’t he make use of the family’s resources?

Zhang Ying, however, saw the crux of the issue, “Third brother, who has upset you?”
