Seeing her children gathered together at the Huo family home, Qin Fengying was filled with mixed emotions: joy, sadness, regret, and loss.

When she turned around and saw her fourth daughter, Lu Baoyun, holding hands with Gu Huainan, she frowned, turned her head away, and pretended not to see them.

"The children are all here, it seems like today is an auspicious day!"

"It's been a long time since the Huo family has been this lively. With so many young people standing in front of me, I feel like the whole courtyard has become much brighter!"

"Old Hua, tell the kitchen to prepare more snacks and fruits, and also make some sweet soup. The kids will definitely love it!"

He gestured for everyone to take their seats, his gaze falling on the empty seat next to Huo Jingxi.

"This... Consort Bao hasn't arrived yet?"

Huo Jingxi raised his dark eyes and said, "Perhaps he went to the restroom!"

After speaking, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Lu Yi opposite him, his unfathomable eyes shimmering with emotion.

Lu Yi met his gaze and quickly grasped the message he was trying to convey.

It seems that Lu Baofei has fallen into the trap.

"Is Second Sister here too?"

Lu Baoyun blinked, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

No wonder Mother's face turned ashen just now. The Huo family can gather all the Lu family's children together, but the Lu family cannot.

She's definitely going to argue with the feng shui master again.

"Yes, your second sister specially put aside her work to come with me to see Yi'er, what a pity..."

Qin Fengying unconsciously clenched her sleeve.

Unfortunately, her own son didn't appreciate it at all.

All the probing techniques Lu Han had taught her over the phone were now useless.

Huo Jingxi casually glanced at Qin Fengying's face, then smiled gently at Lu Baoyun and said, "This matter is, in a way, my fault!"

"When Miss Lu was at the hospital, she saw the patients' terrible condition and reacted rather strongly..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Baofei appeared at the living room door, carrying a handbag and sporting newly applied heavy makeup.

Seeing the round table full of people, she looked surprised, her red lips slightly parted.

"Consort Bao is here! Come and sit down, we've been waiting for you!"

"Old Hua, serve the food!"

Huo Xiao waved to Lu Baofei, naturally pointing to the empty seat next to Huo Jingxi.

Lu Baofei's heart sank suddenly.

What kind of situation is this today?

This looks just like the "Feast at Hongmen"!

She nodded and walked to Huo Jingxi's side. She saw him leaning lazily against the back of his chair, his hands clenched and resting on his chin, and her heart suddenly tightened.

That one-eyed bastard is too cunning!

They devour people alive and then act like they're the best people ever. How can they be so shameless?

"Unfortunately, this is the only spot left. It's not too much to ask Miss Lu to make do, is it?"

He "thoughtfully" pulled out a chair for Lu Baofei, smiling innocently.

"I don't care!"

Lu Baofei glanced at her sideways, her liver aching with anger.

"Today is a good day. Yi'er's health has improved. I'm sure the culprit will be brought to justice soon!"

"Come, let me thank you on behalf of Yi'er!"

Huo Xiao picked up his wine glass and tapped it against the edge of the table.

Lu Baofei forced a smile and greeted her third and fourth sisters. Suddenly, she noticed a glint of light flash in Lu Yi's eyes behind the cup.

When she looked at him again with a clear mind, Lu Yi's expression had returned to normal.

Did I see it wrong?

Lu Baofei shook her head and tilted her head back to gulp down half a cup.

The moment the mellow wine slid from her mouth into her throat, it made a loud "gulp" sound because of the speed. Everyone put down their glasses and looked at her.

"Second sister, drink slowly, we have plenty of other things at home!"

Lu Baoqi felt that her second sister was somewhat embarrassed.

There are countless people who want to come to the Huo family for a cup of tea, but to be treated as a distinguished guest by President Huo and have a meal here is a rare privilege!

Why is this female business elite so unreserved, drinking so heartily?

"Baoqi, how dare you talk like that!"

Qin Fengying could roughly guess what her second daughter was thinking; Lu Shi was probably going to ask the Huo family for help again!

She was filled with remorse!

Why did I do everything Lu Han said?

They showed no regard for the Lu family's situation or Lu Baofei's difficulties at work.

"Mom, that's not what my third sister meant. My second sister has to drive back to Jiangzhou, so drinking isn't appropriate!"

Lu Baoyun pressed down on Qin Fengying's outstretched hand, hurriedly trying to smooth things over.

She looked at Gu Huainan with a troubled expression.

Throughout the year, every gathering of the Lu family ended unhappily.

She didn't want her family scandal to unfold at the Huo family's dinner table.

"It's alright, drink as much as you like. We can always stay at the Huo family's house for a few more days!"

"Baofei, do you like this wine? Jingxi picked it out from a winery he recently acquired overseas. That kid has a good eye!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and winked at Butler Hua.

"Old Hua, clean up the rooms in the other villa properly and let them all stay here."

“Recently, the Huo family has been dealing with a lot of things, and none of the people who have come and gone have been as pleasing to me as I have.”

"Look at this big family today, it looks so festive!"

Butler Hua smiled and agreed.

"Yes, yes, you always praise Young Master Yi as a lucky star. And now, since he came, all the troubles of the Huo family have been resolved."

"That little building has just had a lot of new items added; I'll go arrange for someone to clean it right away!"

Qin Fengying felt increasingly uneasy as she listened.

So, Lu Yi was brought to the Huo family to ward off evil spirits and protect the family's home?

"My son is naturally a lucky star. Now, there are so many people trying to get on good terms with the Lu family that it's getting to no end. Old Lu doesn't want to socialize, so he just stays at the company!"

She finally found an opportunity to plead for the Lu family!

Just now in the study, Huo Xiao inquired about Lu Zhengming, intentionally or unintentionally.
