My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Won’t I Be A Third Wheel Then?

Time flew. Two months passed. Ning Qing was already seven months pregnant.

In these two months, Song Yingjie first flew back to the United States, followed by Ning Qing’s successful cooperation with Song Jin.

The stock market coincided with the second bull market. And with Ning Qing’s unique vision when investing in the entertainment industry, her net worth had increased eight times in just two months. She had become a real billionaire director in the entertainment industry.

The relationship between Ning Qing and Song Yajing was also rapidly improving. Song Yajing gradually let go of the Lu family’s business and traveled around with Lu Dinghua, enjoying the second spring of her life.

Ning Qing was at the Lu family Villa that day. She was sitting on the living room sofa chatting with Song Yajing. Xiao Zhou handed her an invitation.

“Ning Qing, Ellow, the founder of S&W, the luxury clothing brand in England, invites you to attend their fashion show. Ning Qing, do you want to go?” Xiao Zhou asked.

“S&W?” Ning Qing repeated the name and looked at Song Yajing. “Mom, I remember that I’ve seen you wear S&W.”

Song Yajing nodded. She looked at the invitation and said, “Yes, I do wear the brand S&W. The noble design of this brand is very distinctive. Unfortunately, S&W is always in short supply. Only a few VIPs can enjoy the tailor-made wares.”

Ning Qing raised her lips and said, “Mom, it’s easy if you want your clothes tailored. I’ll give a call to Ellow later.”

“Do you know Ellow?” Song Yajing was surprised.

Xiao Zhou smiled and answered, “Mrs. Lu, the entertainment industry is connected with the fashion industry. Especially the big clothing brands abroad, they like to find famous stars and artists in China. Several of the movies that Ning Qing has invested in have cooperated with S&W, and the cooperation was very pleasant. So Ning Qing was invited to participate in this season’s Ellow’s fashion show.”

Song Yajing looked at Ning Qing. In her subconscious, stars in the entertainment industry, especially female stars, were the people who dealt with the hidden rules and were not open about whatever they do. To her, they were at bottom of the society.

She had no idea that the entertainment industry would also deal with the upper class.

This subverted her long-held prejudice against Ning Qing.

Ning Qing naturally knew what Song Yajing was thinking at the moment. She laughed and said, “Mom, the industry is not noble nor cheap. It all depends on the people. Just like how in the eyes of ordinary people, your circle is a messy word.”

Song Yajing nodded, expressing her approval. “Makes sense.”

Ning Qing laughed.

Xiao Zhou looked at how well the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along and was happy for Ning Qing, who had conquered her mother-in-law in just a few months.

“Ning Qing, shall we go to the fashion show this time?”

“Yes, I’ll go. Whoever receives the gift sells their liberty. Mom, don’t you like S&W? Come with me. I’ll introduce you to Ellow. He can take care of your clothes for all four seasons in the future.”

Women all loved to be beautiful. Ning Qing’s sweet words directly hit Song Yajing’s heart. Song Yajing burst into laughter. “Alright then, Ning Qing, I’ll go with you. You’re pregnant. I can take care of you on the way, too. When will we leave, I’ll have the housekeeper prepare a personal plane.”

Xiao Zhou said, “Mrs. Lu, this time, S&W has dispatched a personal plane for us, accompanied by attendants all the way. The flight is in the afternoon.”

Song Yajing was stunned. S&W’s personal plane?

it was clear that S&W had attached great importance to Ning Qing.

Song Yajing looked more and more satisfied. “Okay, let’s go this afternoon…” Speaking of that, Song Yajing hesitated and asked, “Ning Qing, it’s almost noon. Is Shaoming coming home for lunch?”

Once someone’s thinking changes, many aspects would change as well. Song Yajing had thought a lot over these past two months. After all, Lu corporation and the Lu family would have to rely on Shaoming and Ning Qing in the future. At her age, she should let go and seek family peace and harmony.

Lu Dinghua said that in their 35 years of marriage, she had never had an ounce of the gentleness of a woman. So how could she ever have had an ounce of a mother’s compassion and kindness for her son towards Lu Shaoming?

She had been in the wrong this whole time.

She wanted to ease the relationship with Lu Shaoming, but after all these years, she had been passive in her emotions. Lu Shaoming was 31 years old. He was probably not willing to let her take the initiative to step out of that place. There was a barrier between mother and son, and neither of them could get close to each other.

Ning Qing was laughing in her heart. Her mother-in-law mentioned Lu Shaoming more and more in the past two months. But when Lu Shaoming really arrived, she, as the mother, didn’t know what to say then.

Sighs… This awkward mother and son.

“Mom, Shaoming says he won’t be coming back for lunch. There’s a meeting at the office.”

“Oh.” Song Yajing looked down in disappointment.

“Mom, you can call Shaoming and ask him. If Mom personally asks Shaoming to come home for lunch, Shaoming will come back.”

Song Yajing waved her hand. “Forget it. His work is important.”

Ning Qing furrowed her eyebrows. The mother and son’s relationship was stiff. It seemed that she had to do some things herself.

She had to find a good plan.

Let’s wait until they got back from England.

“Xiao Zhou, you can go back to the studio. It’s been a hard time for you.”

“Ning Qing, it’s no trouble. I’ll go, then. Mrs. Lu. Goodbye.” Xiao Zhou left after bidding farewell.

“Mom, let’s go upstairs. We’re going to England in the afternoon. I’ll help you pick out some outfits.”

…

After they had changed their clothes, they went downstairs. Song Yajing wore a white shirt with deep blue sequins and a leopard print scarf around her neck. She looked at her exposed legs below her knees and asked, “Ning Qing, would this be too revealing?”

“Mom, it’s not. Nowadays, who still wraps herself up? How wasteful it is for Mom to have such a good figure and not wear such clothes.”

“I’m out of shape.”

“Mom’s figure is well maintained. After I give birth to Little Master Lu, I’ll take you dancing with me. I am quite the expert when it comes to dancing.”

Song Yajing was elated when she heard that. She remembered that fairy flower shower performance for Cabbage Plume. At that time, she was in awe. Her heart was tempted. “Alright then, we’ll have a friendly competition then. If the baby is a daughter, all three generations of us can dance together.”

The two people were talking and laughing when the door of the villa opened and Lu Dinghua came in from outside.

Lu Dinghua saw how Song Yajing was dressed and, with a tender smile on his face, took a couple more glances.

Ning Qing looked at her mother-in-law. Song Yajing seemed to be red-faced. Her mother-in-law was also a unique kind of woman. Before that, she had been strict, grim and dogmatic. She had only realized the sweetness of love now. The identity of Mrs. Lu had made her temperament graceful and noble all these years. Now that she had added a little shyness to her nobility and gracefulness, she was very lovely.

“Dad, you’re back. Mom was just saying that this dress is not pretty. Dad, come and comment on it,” Ning Qing shouted.

Lu Dinghua looked at Song Yajing. “It’s pretty! Madam looks good in everything she wears.”

Now Song Yajing was embarrassed.

Ning Qing sometimes thought that Lu Dinghua was indeed a gentleman. To be honest, Lu Shaoming was not a gentleman. The real gentleman is a man like Lu Dinghua who radiates tender and romantic feelings from his bones.

In the past two months, Lu Dinghua’s eyes had been lingering on Song Yajing. His gaze would not go overboard, but when his gaze was gently entangled on one person, he could make others blush.

Song Yajing gave Ning Qing a look, then went down the stairs. “Dinghua, Ning Qing and I are flying to England this afternoon to attend a fashion show.”

“Then I’ll go with you guys,” Lu Dinghua said.

Ning Qing quickly covered her mouth and snickered. “Dad, Mom, won’t I be a third wheel then?”

Song Yajing blushed and Lu Dinghua raised his eyebrows. “I just remembered that I have an important meeting this afternoon and cannot go with you guys. Ning Qing, you won’t be a third wheel, but don’t forget that you are a pregnant woman. I’ll give you more bodyguards; take care of your safety.”

As he said that, Lu Dinghua wrapped his arms around Song Yajing’s shoulder, he softly said, “Call me when you’re in England. I’ll entrust Ning Qing and Little Master Lu to you.”

Song Yajing nodded. “Don’t worry.”

The three of them had lunch together. Ning Qing took out her cell phone to call Lu Shaoming, but the call didn’t go through. He was probably in a meeting.

“Dad, I can’t get through to Shaoming’s phone. It’s time to board the plane. Mom and I have to leave. Let Shaoming know for me.”

“Alright, you can go. I’ll let him know,” Lu Dinghua promised.

…

When they flew to England in the afternoon, Ellow, the founder of S&W, gave them a warm welcome. In the afternoon, they took part in the fashion show, and in the evening, Ellow personally entertained them.

“Miss Ning, it’s a great pleasure to have you here. I thought I wouldn’t be able to invite you. After all, you have completely stopped working since becoming pregnant.”

Ning Qing held onto Song Yajing’s arm affectionately. “Ellow, I brought my mother with me. My mother has always liked your brand’s designs. I hope Ellow could design some clothes for my mother personally.”

Ellow looked at Song Yajing and bowed respectfully. “Hello, Mrs. Lu. It’s a blessing that you have such a filial and competent daughter-in-law.”

Song Yajing looked at Ning Qing and answered, “That’s right.”

What did her mother-in-law say?

That’s right?

Ning Qing instantly had a bright smile on her face.

“Miss Ning, Mrs. Lu, this way, please. I’ll take your measurements. I’ll make the latest fashion for Mrs. Lu over the next four seasons. I’m sure Mrs. Lu would be satisfied with them.”

The three of them went into the VIP room together. Ellow and his assistant took Song Yajing’s measurements.

Ning Qing felt that the air was stuffy here. She opened her mouth and said to Song Yajing, “Mom, I don’t think the air is fresh here. I want to go out and take a breather.”

“Go ahead, don’t go too far. Bring two bodyguards with you. Be safe,” Song Yajing advised.

“Alright.” Ning Qing went out.

…

Outside the gate, Ning Qing took a breath of the fresh England night air. She stood on the street and looked at the corners of England. At this moment, she suddenly missed Lu Shaoming very much.

England was where he had undergone the operation; it’s where he had lost his memory.

She reached for her cell phone habitually, but she suddenly remembered that the dress she wore today was without pockets. Her cell phone was in the bag; she had not brought it with her.

She took back her hands resentfully. Ning Qing straightened up her slender back and casually looked at the prosperous night scene.

Suddenly cries of “Waaa” sounded in her ear. Looking over, a cute and dainty little girl ran into the middle of the street and in a tender voice, cried, “Mom, I want Mom.”

In front of the little girl, there was a car speeding towards her.
