Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Chapter 777: Chapter 641: Winning Over Grandfather

Shangguan Ling’s hairs stood on end: "Hey, hey, hey! Don’t talk nonsense! Your brother-in-law can only be one!"

Instinctively refuting, he suddenly realized the words "brother-in-law".

He raised his eyes towards the boy on the tree: "You are... the Young Madam’s brother?"

Lu Yuan asked coolly: "Who did you say was unattractive and useless?"

The handsome young man turned slightly on the branches, propped his head with one hand, and smiled arrogantly and brightly: "You."

Lu Yuan’s gaze remained fixed on him through the vast night.

Shangguan Ling was dumbfounded: "Grand Commander, he’s not afraid of you! The Young Madam’s brother is so bold?"

Yu Zichuan, you have a rival!

No, Yu Zichuan wasn’t this arrogant.

This kid, he totally doesn’t take the ruthless Grand Commander seriously.

When the mission at Liuli Island was canceled, and he was sent to You State to be an official, he felt extremely disdainful.

How could a Commander of the Jinyi Guard kill a chicken with a butcher’s knife?

Until this moment, he finally found the Meng Family visit a bit interesting.

"Are you... Meng Xuan or Meng Lang?"

He asked with interest.

Ever since the Grand Commander met Meng Qianqian, frequently visiting the Young Madam’s fragrant boudoir, the Jinyi Guard had investigated Meng Qianqian’s family thoroughly for eighteen generations.

The Young Madam has two brothers, Meng Xuan of the second branch, and Meng Lang of the main branch.

But Meng Lang is currently being raised in the third branch and is a very troublesome little rascal.

"Meng Xuan."

The handsome young man said with a smile.

Lu Yuan said indifferently: "Lying comes at a price."

The young man said carelessly: "Oh? What price does the Commander of the Jinyi Guard and the First Rank Grand Commander plan to make me pay? Two fellows who can’t even enter my master’s gate dare to boast here?"

So arrogant, you brat!

You’re lighting a lantern and going to the Governor Mansion’s restroom, looking for trouble with the Grand Commander!

Shangguan Ling was amazed and wanted to clasp his fists and acknowledge the young man as a brother.

Listening to the Grand Commander’s words, is this kid not Meng Xuan, but Meng Lang?

Shangguan Ling seriously examined the counterpart.

Unfortunately, the person lay high on the branches, and with the deep night and the leaves blocking, it was not very clear.

Seeing Lu Yuan ignoring him, the young man smiled again and said: "Do you want to make a deal with me? I’ll take you inside to see the master, and in return, you help me with something."

"No deal."

Lu Yuan refused without hesitation.

The handsome young man sat up abruptly: "Why not consider it before rejecting me? Maybe you’re not very familiar with my master’s nature; he’s an old stubborn. Even if you stand here for a hundred years, he won’t give in."

"What I’m asking you to do isn’t hard."

"Won’t do it."

Lu Yuan refused once again.

The handsome young man furrowed his handsome little brows: "Why are you so stubborn? Does that girl really like someone as wooden as you?"

Shangguan Ling was dumbfounded: "Hey, she’s your sister!"

What’s with calling her a girl?

Is this kid polite?

The handsome young man once again relaxedly lay back on the branches, resting his hands under his head, looking through the thick leaves up at the endless stars.

"All the same."

Shangguan Ling was once again perplexed.

This kid, why is he so hard to comprehend?

A stubborn old Meng, and a reckless rascal, the Meng Family truly has gutsy people one after another.

In this scenario, Shangguan Ling genuinely wanted to jump onto the rooftop, sit shoulder to shoulder with Yu Zichuan, and together watch the spectacle of the Meng Family unfold.

"Get in here!"

Suddenly, a stern shout from Old Master Meng echoed from the courtyard.

"Coming, Old Master!"

The handsome young man swiftly jumped to the ground, swaggering to the door, brushing past Lu Yuan.

And then, he stepped over the threshold, sprawled on the ground, and rolled in.

Shangguan Ling: "..."

The handsome young man rolled in as smoothly as silk from the courtyard to the side room.

And the servants all looked nonchalant, as if the young man was an old hand at this.

Bang.

The half-closed door of Old Master Meng’s room was pushed open, and a handsome young man rolled in over the threshold.

Old Master Meng’s face darkened: "Nonsense!"

The handsome young man looked innocent: "You told me to roll in."

Old Master Meng would’ve loved to grab the stool on the ground and smash it over the boy.

"Get up!"

He ordered harshly.

"Alright."

The handsome young man flipped up like a fish, got up gracefully, dusted off his wide sleeves, and patted the dust off his clothes.

Old Master Meng said coldly: "Lounging around all day, doing nothing serious!"

The handsome young man grabbed a peach from the fruit tray, sat on the windowsill with a swish: "Old Master wrongs me. I’m here to do a serious matter today."

"Get down from there!"

Old Master Meng scolded.

"Sigh, so many rules."

The handsome young man jumped to the floor and sat obediently in the chair.

Old Master Meng stood.

He sat.

Who’s actually the grandson?

The handsome young man completely ignored Old Master Meng’s sharp glare, taking a bite of a peach: "By the way, how long are you planning to leave my brother-in-law hanging?"

Old Master Meng said irritably: "The Meng Family hasn’t agreed to this marriage; he’s not your brother-in-law!"

The handsome young man dashed to the courtyard gate, teasingly peeked his head out at Lu Yuan, and smiled: "The Old Master is planning to give you a dismissal letter, you may leave."

Lu Yuan: "..."

Old Master Meng: "..."

Even if Old Master Meng didn’t think much of Lu Yuan, he wouldn’t speak such reckless words as "you may leave" to an official of the court.

He clenched his fingers and sent a servant to call Lu Yuan into the room.

Lu Yuan bowed with respect like a junior: "Grandfather."

Old Master Meng returned the bow, saying lightly: "This ’Grandfather’ from the Grand Commander is not something a commoner can assume."

Lu Yuan said: "Today there is no Grand Commander, only grandson-in-law Lu Yuan."

Old Master Meng solemnly said: "This marriage was originally a rash decision by my son, not to be counted. I hope the Grand Commander will not impose."

Lu Yuan glanced at the handsome young man inside the room, who was leisurely enjoying the show while gnawing on a peach.

The other’s gaze was overly arrogant, impossible to ignore.

The handsome young man, caught watching the fun, didn’t even feel guilty but instead gave Lu Yuan a challenging smile.

Lu Yuan retracted his gaze: "I agree."

Old Master Meng was stunned.

The handsome young man smiled meaningfully: "Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Lu Yuan said calmly.

The handsome young man: "Accepting all the conditions?"

Lu Yuan: "Feel free to raise the stakes."

Old Master Meng’s face turned dark.

What a mess, thinking he valued his granddaughter highly, yet he’s just a heartless man who easily gives up!

So be it.

Rather than let the granddaughter enter another pit, it’s better to end it early!

Just as Old Master Meng decided to close the door and send off the guest, the handsome young man stood up nonchalantly, sauntered to Old Master Meng’s side, and rested his chin on his shoulder in a sly, spoiled manner:

"Grandfather, I want to study at the Imperial College. I heard brother-in-law’s scholarly skills are good."

Old Master Meng couldn’t resist this from his grandson, grunted, and said: "What scholarly skills could he have?"

Lu Yuan cupped his hands: "I am untalented, but I hold the title of Champion Scholar."
