Lu Jingyan said in a deep, steady voice, "I agreed to this marriage initially not because of the Gu family, and certainly not because of you. I did it solely because she is Gu Qing. Whether in the past or now, no one can stop me from marrying Gu Qing—including you."
Madam Lu’s face flushed with anger, and she issued a stern warning: "Do you truly think I cannot stop you?"
Lu Jingyan remained perfectly calm. "With your resources, you could find a hundred ways to prevent this marriage. But Mother, if you truly do that, I, Lu Jingyan, will have no mother for the rest of my life."
