In the private room.
Meng Zhen did not give a clear answer as to whether he acknowledged the relationship or not.
I asked two questions instead:
"What are you going to do with Lucy?"
"How are you going to treat the Meng family?"
The first question was to see which one was more important, the original owner or Lu Qian, in the hearts of the Lu family.
If the Lu family wants both daughters, it means they are more partial to Lu Qian.
Even though he knew that Lu Qian had taken away his daughter's life, he still couldn't let go of Lu Qian.
Adopted daughter and biological daughter are two opposing identities.
There will definitely be a lot of disputes and conflicts with Lu Qian after the recognition of relatives. Given the Lu family's partiality towards Lu Qian, they will probably just try to smooth things over and let the original owner suffer.
Acknowledging such family members who are indecisive, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and biased will only make your future life more difficult.
It’s better not to admit it.
The second question is to see how much the Lu family cares about the original owner.
After knowing the tragic experience of the original owner, if the Lu family can avenge the original owner and retaliate against the Meng family, it means that they really care about the original owner.
When these two questions were raised, the Lu family members were secretly glad.
Fortunately, I had taken care of these two things before coming here.
Lu Zhengqing said seriously:
"Since we want to recognize you, we can't let Lu Qian take over our family. We have already asked her to leave the Lu family. From now on, mom and dad will only recognize you as their daughter."
Meng Zhen nodded, quite satisfied with the answer.
As for the second question, Lu Nan has the most say.
"When I left Hai City, I wrote a report to the police, reporting Meng Jia and Zhou Jianmin's crime of child swapping.
Now, they have been sentenced to an additional twenty years on top of their original sentences. Furthermore, they have been transferred to the worst prisons to serve their sentences.”
"Meng Qiang and Meng Zhigang's jobs were also wiped out, and they are now unemployed. My friends there keep an eye on their progress from time to time. Anything they do in the future won't be very smooth."
Speaking of the Meng family, the Lu family members were filled with hatred, wishing that they all died a miserable death.
Meng Zhen was quite satisfied with the answer to this question.
So she said, "It's okay to recognize your relationship."
"But you can't interfere in my affairs."
This is what it means to agree.
The Lu family's hearts suddenly settled down.
Lu Zhengqing and Zhang Yue quickly expressed their opinions: "Don't worry, daughter, you can do whatever you want. We will never interfere!"
Lu Nan and Lu Bei also nodded.
"Sister, our family is the most democratic, otherwise we wouldn't have raised Lu Qian like that."
Meng Zhen curled his lips, this did make some sense.
It just so happened that the dishes on the table were almost all served.
Zhang Yue called out, "Come, Zhenzhen, let's eat first."
"Try this fish, it's their specialty here."
"And these spare ribs taste good too." Lu Zhengqing also leaned over to pick up some food for his daughter.
In a blink of an eye, the food in Meng Zhen's bowl piled up like a small mountain.
She took a small bite and it tasted good, but she really couldn't finish it.
Seeing that she had only tasted a small piece of ribs after a long time, Lu Nan said distressedly: "Sister, you are too thin, you need to eat more."
His attitude was completely different from the serious one he had shown towards Lu Qian.
Lu Bei also agreed: "Yes, sister, if you don't have food at Meng's house, we will make up for it when we get home."
Unable to refuse the kind offer, Meng Zhen had to symbolically take two more bites.
During the meal, the Lu family spent most of the time staring at Meng Zhen.
The more I look at my daughter/sister, the more I like her.
Needless to say, her appearance is pleasing to the eye at first sight.
Meng Zhen looked so delicate while eating, and she didn't look like someone who hadn't eaten enough.
But for Meng Zhen, after a meal together, she felt that the Lu family was much better than she had imagined.
At least it's different from Lu Qian.
After all, they have been separated for twenty years, and Lu Zhengqing and Zhang Yue still want to know more about their daughter.
Putting down his chopsticks, Lu Zhengqing asked, "Zhenzhen, we went to school to look for you this weekend. The dormitory supervisor said you moved out of the dormitory. So where do you live now?"
Meng Zhen: "Well, living in the dormitory is too troublesome, so I moved to a house near the school."
Lu Zhengqing and his wife just thought it was a house she rented near the school.
The rented house is at most a single room, how can it be as comfortable as living at home?
Zhang Yue suggested, "Why don't you go home and live there? We've already packed up the room for you."
But remembering that her daughter had just said that they shouldn't interfere with her affairs, Zhang Yue changed her tone and said, "It's fine if I live near the school. I can go home on weekends."
Renting a house costs money, and my daughter must have had a hard time because she didn't have any parental support before.
Lu Zhengqing took out a thick envelope and stuffed it into Meng Zhen's hand:
"Zhenzhen, take this money. Girls usually spend a lot. If you see something you like, don't be wronged. Dad will give you more after you spend it."
"Thank you, Dad!" Meng Zhen accepted it generously.
It was something that the original owner should have enjoyed, so she took it without any burden.
Lu Zhengqing expressed his opinion, and Lu Nan then took out an envelope.
"Sister, this is a gift from me. I don't know what you like, so take it and buy it yourself."
Lu Nan had basically no money to spend in the army, and he had saved all his salary and allowances over the years.
I had given Lu Qian some subsidies from time to time before, but the total was not as much as I gave Meng Zhen this time.
As for Lu Bei, he has no income and usually relies on pocket money from his parents.
But this time, in order to buy a gift for his sister, he advanced three months' pocket money and even spent his savings.
