Right at the start of the school year, Ding Kemeng heard a rumor: XiuShui High School had a notorious school bully who picked on classmates, defied teachers, and committed all sorts of mischief...<...
On her way to the Lu family, Tang Qiushui took the opportunity to ask Tang Meng about some things. Although she didn't know who the girl named Ding Kemeng was, it was not hard to tell from Tang Meng's tone that Ziyin's brother cared about that girl, and Tang Meng disliked her!
Tang Qiushui said she would take Tang Meng to the Lu family to confront Lu Ziyin, but in reality, she dropped Tang Meng off at a bus stop halfway there, said goodbye sweetly, and left without looking back.
She has no time to let these messy people affect her affairs!
The car drove all the way to the Lu residence.
Tang Qiushui got out of the car, carrying two boxes of gifts. She saw the butler in the Lu family garden, greeted him with a smile, and then the butler led her into the Lu family gate.
Wen Lan was surprised to see Tang Qiushui, but she still greeted her warmly.
Tang Qiushui didn't think much of Wen Lan. She was an ordinary woman who was married by Uncle Lu just because she was pretty, and became the stepmother of her brother Ziyin. What was most hateful was that she gave birth to that annoying Lu Zichen!
But now Wen Lan is the rightful wife of the Lu family, so even if Tang Qiushui dislikes her, she will still put on a show.
"Good evening, Auntie. I hope I haven't bothered you by coming so late!" Tang Qiushui said with a smile, handing the gift to Wen Lan.
Wen Lan knew that the eldest daughter of the Tang family was arrogant and looked down on her, so she was very self-aware and didn't take the initiative to say much to Tang Qiushui.
She accepted the gift with a smile, exchanged a few polite words with Tang Qiushui, and then went upstairs to call Mr. Lu down.
Mr. Lu was very happy to hear that Tang Qiushui had arrived, because in his heart, a girl like Tang Qiushui was the best candidate to be his daughter-in-law!
Mr. Lu hadn't seen Tang Qiushui for a long time, and seeing her today, he was increasingly pleased with the girl.
He instructed the kitchen to prepare a meal, as Mr. Lu wanted to give his future daughter-in-law a proper welcome!
Tang Qiushui also wanted to see Lu Ziyin today. She didn't originally intend to have dinner at the Lu family's house, but she couldn't resist Lu's father's insistence and ended up staying for dinner.
At the dinner table, Tang Qiushui's eloquent tongue made Mr. Lu laugh heartily, putting him in a very pleasant mood, and everyone was in good spirits.
Lu Zichen poked at the rice in his bowl with his chopsticks, feeling utterly unhappy. He disliked Tang Qiushui completely. Although he liked Tang Zhizhou very much, he utterly despised his brother's sister!
Tang Qiushui always looks at him and his mother with the eyes of someone looking at insects when his father is not around, but he has a completely different expression when he is with his brother and father. It's very hypocritical!
Moreover, this Tang Qiushui seems to really like her brother. She always wants to marry him, but unfortunately, her brother doesn't like her at all!
Thinking of this, Lu Zichen's mood suddenly improved a lot. Sitting in the chair, his little feet dangled in the air. He felt the table leg being licked. Lu Zichen secretly bent down and lowered his head. Sure enough, there was a little yellow dog under the table.
Lu Zichen smiled and secretly tossed a piece of meat to Ruan Ruan with his chopsticks.
As Tang Qiushui was talking to Lu's father, she noticed Lu Zichen's actions out of the corner of her eye. Somewhat puzzled, she bent down and looked under the table.
"Ah—!" Tang Qiushui cried out instantly, startling Lu's father and the others.
"What's wrong with Qiu Shui?"
The disgust and fear in Tang Qiushui's eyes were genuine. She suddenly stood up, took several steps back, pointed at the dog under the table, and shouted, "Dog, dog, there's a dog!"
Tang Qiushui was afraid of dogs and especially disliked them. She would avoid dogs whenever she saw them. She never imagined that one day she would see a dog under the dining table!
Lu Zichen and Ruan Ruan were also startled. Ruan Ruan is not even a year old yet and is not very brave. When she heard Tang Qiushui yell at her, she immediately tucked her tail between her legs and quickly hid next to Lu Zichen's legs.
Mr. Lu knew what the dog under the table was all about, but he hadn't expected it to frighten Tang Qiushui. He turned and glanced at his youngest son, his expression grim.
Lu Zichen wasn't afraid of his father scolding him, but he was afraid his father would scold Ruan Ruan, so he quickly pulled Ruan Ruan to his feet and whispered, "Ruan Ruan is very well-behaved, she doesn't bite!"
Seeing Lu's father hesitate, Tang Qiushui immediately cried out, "Uncle Lu, I'm really afraid of dogs!" Please get this damn dog away quickly, she can't stand it anymore!
Between a dog and a future daughter-in-law, of course the daughter-in-law is more important.
"Butler, take the dog away!" Mr. Lu said coldly.
The butler, who had been waiting nearby, smiled wryly and prepared to take the dog away.
Lu Zichen panicked immediately, "No!" Lu Zichen knew his father was angry and was afraid that Ruan Ruan would be sent away. His eyes reddened and his voice was trembling with tears, "Dad, Ruan Ruan is really good. Don't send her away!"
Lu Zichen held Ruan Ruan in his arms, and the butler couldn't do anything about it, looking helpless.
"It's just a mongrel, what's so great about it! Butler, pull Zichen away!" Father Lu's face turned completely cold after being defied by his youngest son.
Wen Lan also likes Ruan Ruan very much, and this dog was brought back by Lu Ziyin. If she were to give it away like this, Ziyin would probably be unhappy if she found out.
"Honey, Ruan Ruan is really obedient, let's keep her..."
"You're taking their side too!" Mr. Lu gave Wen Lan a cold look, his eyes clearly accusing her.
"Butler, proceed!"
"No, Ruan Ruan, be obedient, be obedient!" Lu Zichen's eyes were already red, and now he burst into tears.
"What are you arguing about?" Lu Ziyin returned home after finishing her business and heard Lu Zichen crying as soon as she entered the house, which made her feel bad.
Walking quickly to the dining table, Lu Ziyin reached out and lifted Lu Zichen up, saying, "Lu Zichen, why are you crying?"
Tang Qiushui, who had been hiding at a distance, immediately smiled when she saw Lu Ziyin: "Brother Ziyin, you're back!"
Lu Ziyin glanced at Tang Qiushui, ignored her, patted Lu Zichen who was still crying, and said calmly, "Lu Zichen, I'm asking you a question, why are you crying?"
When Lu Ziyin returned, his father was initially pleased, but the brat didn't even bother to greet his father!
After coughing twice, Mr. Lu said in a deep voice, "The child is just ignorant, why bother with so much! Ziyin, come here, Qiushui is here as a guest, say hello to her!"
Lu Ziyin looked up at her father, but didn't move.
The father and son were both speechless under his gaze, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.
Lu Ziyin ignored his father and turned to Lu Zichen beside her. "Lu Zichen, talk to me, stop crying!" What kind of man is this, all he does is cry all day long!
After crying his fill, Lu Zichen heard Lu Ziyin ask him a question and couldn't help but hiccup, saying, "Daddy, Daddy's going to throw Ruan Ruan away!"
