But it was enough if they squeezed together, so she asked Lu Xiangxiang to sit next to her. Originally, Lu Zhiyuan was next to her, but when he saw this, he quickly pulled Lu Zhiyao to sit next to Lu Xiangxiang.

The obvious disdain made Lu Zhiyao unable to help but tug at his clothes. Looking down at his sister's pleading eyes, Lu Zhiyuan had no choice but to make amends, "Sisters are all grown up and still have to avoid suspicion. I'll just sit here."

This statement was so logical and reasonable that no one could refute it, so no one said anything.

"Dad, don't be so reserved. I'm fine. You can just pretend I don't exist."

"How can you pretend it doesn't exist? You are my daughter and their sister."

Lu Xiangxiang thought about it but smiled without saying anything.

Lu Yuantao sighed: "Dad has been busy all these years, so he neglected you. I know you must be very angry, right? I'm sorry."

Good guy, she exclaimed, good guy, he blamed everything on work, he is really something.

If someone doesn't understand the situation, they will probably feel soft-hearted. There's nothing they can do about it. Who says his profession is respectable?

If you tell others about it, everyone will think that as a daughter she must understand, right?

"Dad, you're right. There's no need to apologize to me, really. Okay, let's eat." After she said that, she didn't care about Lu Yuantao's expression and buried her head in eating.

I have to say that Aunt Niu’s cooking skills are quite good. Every dish is delicious and I enjoyed eating it very much.

Soon she had eaten one third of the dishes on the table, and the others came to their senses, but they didn't know what to say.

After finishing her meal, she wiped her mouth, walked to the sofa, turned on the TV and started watching.

Black and white TV is inferior to color TV and the viewing experience is not that good, but it is better than nothing.

Although the TV dramas being broadcast nowadays do not have modern high technology, the performers’ acting skills are really good and very real.

There was a bowl of fruit on the table. When she saw the fruit, she couldn't help but pick it up and take a bite. It tasted good, crunchy.

Liang Huifen and the children couldn't help rolling their eyes when they saw her look like a starving ghost. She had just finished her meal and was eating fruit again. Was she a pig?

By the time they came to their senses, she had already finished the entire bowl of fruit, leaving not a single drop.

Well, now they were even more angry, but no matter how angry they were, it was useless because the things were gone and that was it.

"Zhiyao, aren't you taking a day off tomorrow? Your sister is new here and isn't familiar with the place. You can take her around then." Lu Yuantao said to her.

"Okay, Dad." Lu Zhiyao agreed in one breath.

They also sat next to Lu Xiangxiang and watched TV with her. Around eight o'clock in the evening, everyone went to take a shower one after another.

Lu Xiangxiang also took a hot bath and then went back to her room to sleep. She thought she would not fall asleep again after taking a nap at noon, but she fell asleep in bed after lying on the bed for a while.

On the other side, Lu Zhiyao, who should have been asleep, was not sleeping. She quietly opened the door and went downstairs to the phone, turning the fingertips to dial the number.

After a while, the phone was answered, and it was obvious that the person was waiting for her on the other end of the phone.

A familiar voice came from the other side, and her heart warmed.

After exchanging a few sweet words with the man, she hung up the phone with a smile.

Then he looked towards the second floor with an expressionless face and slowly clenched his fists.

"No matter what, I don't want to marry that unromantic guy and suffer. I was born noble, how can I be lowly and end up in the mud?" She muttered to herself.

Lu Xiangxiang, who had a good night's sleep, had no idea that someone was thinking about her down below. When she woke up, it was already morning.

She got up, took out her toothpaste and toothbrush, and went to the bathroom next door to wash up. When she got up, someone else got up too.

That was her adopted father. He had to get up so early every day because he had to go to the army. He was a little surprised to see Lu Xiangxiang when he got up: "Xiangxiang, why are you up so early? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

"No, I need to get up and exercise."

A glint of admiration flashed in Lu Yuantao's eyes. "Young people should keep themselves in good health. A healthy body is the real health. Your sister is resting today, so I'll take you out to play. Do you have enough money? I have some here, give it to you."

As he said this, he fumbled around in his pocket and took out ten big black tens and gave them to her.

Lu Xiangxiang did not refuse. Why would she refuse?

This was given to her by her stepfather, why wouldn't she want it?

Lu Xiangxiang took it and said to Lu Yuantao with a smile, "Thank you, Dad."

The girl's pretty face is flawless, and when she smiles, she looks like a little sun, very bright and sunny.

Lu Yuantao was stunned by the girl's smile. Is this his daughter? This is too...

He couldn't help but lower the brim of his hat. Perhaps what he wanted to do could be accomplished, and the Zhou family might not be lost.

After Lu Yuantao left, she looked at the big black ten in her hand. There is a saying that goes, the early bird catches the worm. Her cheap father was just like a money-giving boy, throwing money at her recklessly. She didn't mind if this happened to her a few more times.

She put the money in her bag and went out. She didn't wear thick clothes because she was going to run.

I was only wearing a thin coat on the outside. The weather was getting cold at the end of October, so I had to wear more clothes even when running.

She tied her hair into a high ponytail with a thick braid on it, making her look youthful.

Lu Xiangxiang ran along the family compound. There was a guard every ten meters or so in the compound, so her safety was guaranteed. Even though she came out so early and it was still dark, she didn't feel scared at all.

The guards were also surprised. Which woman would get up so early?

A closer look revealed that the figure was not familiar at all, but the face was extremely handsome.

Yesterday, the daughter of Commander Lu's daughter who had just given birth in the family compound came. This incident was like explosive news that caused an uproar in the compound. In this era without much entertainment, there were a lot of people who just wanted to watch the show. Almost everyone in the compound knew about it in just one night.

Why do these guards know this?

Although they are men of integrity, they are as serious when on duty as they are gossipy in private.

Of course, the gossips are only about what can be said, and they won’t say a word about what cannot be said.

Yesterday, someone on duty said that Commander Lu’s daughter was very beautiful, even prettier than Lu Zhiyao, the most beautiful girl in the compound.

How could they not be curious?

Although they were curious, they didn't dare to do such a shameless thing as going to see it.

They never expected to see him in person today. They have all seen the people from Brigade Commander Lu’s family, and Lu Zhiyao and the others have also seen him.
