Knowing that Gu Tingzhi was coming, Meng Fuyan knew that his problem must have been solved, no wonder he wanted to come!

Meng Yun took the money to the Lu family to pay New Year's respects to Lu Jianjun. In those days, the most presentable gifts were food or rare supplies. Meng Fuyan prepared some meat, dried fruit, and some frozen pears. The various meats weighed several pounds in total, which was definitely a generous gift.

Lu Jianjun was very happy, as was Lu Xingye. They stayed at the Lu family home for lunch, but it was obvious that Qin Qiongying was very unhappy.

Meng Fuyan could tell that Qin Qiongying's attitude was even worse in this life than in the previous one, so it seemed she should try to stay away from her in the future.

After Meng Fuyan and her brother left, Lu Jianjun and Qin Qiongying had a huge fight. It was so heated that they almost overturned the table. Qin Qiongying cried loudly at home, and the whole building could hear it.

Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, Lu Xingye was so frightened that he quickly pulled his father away.

"Dad, Dad, stop arguing. It's the New Year, it's not worth it for such a small thing."

Lu Jianjun, unable to contain himself any longer, said, "Do I want to start a fight? Look at her attitude! Did the two little ones offend her? And she's acting like this, like an aunt..."

"Dad!" Lu Xingye gestured for him to lower his voice. "Don't let the neighbors hear us. They'll gossip about Yan Yan. Come on, let's go first. I'll talk to you."

Lu Xingye took Lu Jianjun away from home and found a nearby park. Fortunately, it was cold and snowing, and there was no one around.

It was a deserted place with little people around, and the north wind was howling, so there was no fear of being overheard.

"Why did you bring me here? It's because your mother went too far and started a fight for no reason."

Lu Xingye sighed helplessly, "Dad, why do you take such good care of Yanyan and her brother? Besides the fact that they are children of the Meng family, is there any other reason?"

Lu Jianjun was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
