"Xi Hua, my Lu family is asking you to climb the social ladder—no, it's me who's climbing the social ladder!"
Before Chen Xihua could finish speaking, Lu Zhengjing immediately interrupted her, speaking in a firm tone and a loud voice.
Moreover, others also stood up, their stance clear.
"Second sister, I've made up my mind about Chen Xihua, and I hope you won't interfere in my affairs."
"You can interfere in the affairs of your Shen family however you want!"
"What? The Zheng family? How is that possible?"
For a long time, Lu Zhengnan was unable to react; the disbelief in his eyes was genuine.
She looked genuinely devastated, even more so than when she was slapped by Old Master Lu!
Not to mention Lu Zhengnan, everyone else in the Lu family, except for Lu Zhengjing, had a surprised expression and were stunned.
Old Master Lu narrowed his eyes. No wonder the Zheng family sent a gift; it was because of the eldest daughter of the Chen family.
The two brothers, Lu Zhengde and Lu Zhengren, instantly understood.
Lu Yiyang looked at him with admiration and whispered, "Zeyang, did you see that? He really is the person Seventh Uncle has his eye on. He dares to go against Second Aunt!"
We're both from Gaoyang County in the same province, look at you, and that Zhou Qingqing..."
She really didn't want to discourage her younger brother!
Lu Zeyang pouted: "Hmph, sis, don't just talk about me. I know what you've done."
When your second aunt came to see you that time, what kind of show did she put on? Did you think that just because you didn't say anything, you weren't a participant?
Also, I know your little secret. Should I tell Uncle and Seventh Uncle, Jiang...?
"Shut up!" Lu Yiyang blushed and panicked, reaching out to cover his bratty younger brother's mouth!
Still unwilling to believe it, Lu Zhengnan swayed, head drooping, muttering, "The Zheng family, heh..."
She really clashes with the Chen family. Judging from the way the seventh son is acting, Chen Xiaowu will most likely marry into the Lu family.
She knew Lao Qi's personality well; once he set his mind on something, he wouldn't easily change it.
Lu Zhengnan knew his own situation.
She has always been unreasonable and unruly when she goes back to her parents' home. Her father might agree to her wishes for trivial matters or matters that are her own.
However, when it comes to matters concerning the Lu family and her brothers, her father will absolutely not listen to her.
Especially regarding the seventh son's affairs, even his father might not be able to control him. The seventh son would only listen to his deceased grandfather.
And she always comes back to her parents' home and makes a scene, just to get a sense of her presence!
She was afraid that she, as a married daughter, would not be valued, and also, it was to show her deceased mother-in-law.
The deceased Grandma Shen was a wicked mother-in-law, but because Lu Zhengnan was a daughter of the Lu family, she wasn't treated too badly.
Actually, it was also because of Lu Zhengnan that he only had one son.
Grandma Shen had many opinions about her in private, but she didn't dare to say them openly.
Chen Xiaowu's words really hit Lu Zhengnan hard.
The Chen family, which she looked down upon, eventually became entangled with her Shen family, and she couldn't avoid it.
Her son, Changxing, will soon be calling Chen Xihua his aunt.
And her grandson, Xiao Jie, has to call Chen Chunhua his maternal aunt!
Seeing Lu Zhengnan turn around, looking somewhat lost and wanting to leave, Chen Xihua knew she had been right.
For someone like Lu Zhengnan, you have to strike at what she's most proud of.
The more she cares about something, the more we need to break her sense of superiority.
For example, the family background, circumstances, and social status of the Lu and Shen families.
Just then, Shen Changxing arrived and overheard Chen Xihua's words at the door.
He felt a strange sensation; it turned out she had married Hua Lin's cousin.
"Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt... Mom, I've come to take you home. Xiao Jie is awake and looking for you!"
Seeing her son arrive, Lu Zhengnan felt deflated and listless, letting Changxing pull her away from the Lu family home.
Even today, he didn't reveal his true purpose in coming to see his father.
Judging from her son's expression, she knew it was no use; Changxing wouldn't agree.
However, before leaving, Lu Zhengnan made sure to emphasize again that she was not wrong.
"Father, Seventh Brother, listen to her! She herself said it, you're both bewitched!"
Regardless, she didn't regret it. Changxing was her son, and she just couldn't agree to let a girl from the county town marry him.
The Chen sisters are so capable of marrying into families better than the Shen family; that's impressive.
Grandpa Lu looked at his stubborn daughter and shook his head. She was still deceiving herself!
Afterwards, Chen Xihua stayed at the Lu family's house until dinner.
The atmosphere at the Lu family was quite good, and Lu Zhengnan's appearance did not seem to have any impact.
On the contrary, it seems more harmonious.
After all, it was only a matter of time before the Lu family and Chen Xihua would expose the matter that caused the rumors about the Chen family, so it was better to talk it out.
At 8 p.m., on the way back to the courtyard house with Chen Xihua.
Lu Zhengjing asked, "Xihua, does this mean I passed the assessment ahead of schedule?"
Chen Xihua retorted, "Your second sister reminded me, I don't think I'm good enough! What do you think?"
Lu Zhengjing was speechless: "I'm not good enough for you! But no, we're a perfect match!"
After a few minutes of silence in the car, Chen Xihua suddenly spoke up, "Seventh Master Lu, please take good care of me in the future!"
Lu Zhengjing smiled: "Comrade Chen Xihua, please give me your instructions from now on!"
Chen Xihua laughed too! She really does have a rebellious streak.
And he's a pretty good person, isn't he? At least he's good-looking and to her liking!
........
Since the Lu family's birthday banquet, whether it's the end of the year or some other reason, everyone seems to be busy.
The pneumonia outbreak in Guangdong province has completely broken out.
Perhaps it's a parallel world, and unlike Chen Xihua's previous life, the time didn't last for more than half a year.
This epidemic was basically brought under control within three months, and the treatment drugs and antiviral drugs were effective in treating the symptoms.
Only a few people know that the experimental project proposed by Chen Xihua played a key role.
In mid-December, during this special period, another event that shocked the whole country occurred: the Qinghai Province 12.16 Auction Incident.
This inhumane, bloody auction house offers anything imaginable; there's nothing you can't find there.
The mastermind behind it all turned out to be Liu Wenqing from the Liu family in Beijing, with the Nightclub being the central hub.
Many members of the Liu family, including those from collateral branches, were taken away for investigation.
Mr. Liu, who was supposed to retire in six months, was forced to retire ahead of schedule!
You don't know until you investigate, and once you do, you find something.
Although Grandpa Liu was not involved in his eldest grandson's affairs, he did something else against the rules in private.
He allowed Si Tuying, the mastermind behind the previously arrested "Black Hawk Gang," to have an heir.
The surrogate mother was Feng Liping, the daughter-in-law of Liu's family and Feng Lanjiao's niece, who was four months pregnant.
The Liu family promised Feng Liping that after the child was born, they would transfer her household registration to Beijing and provide her with an apartment in Beijing.
On the day the investigation team was dispatched, Liu's wife, Feng Lanjiao, happened to be catching her husband, Liu Hao, in adultery.
The two women started fighting again, and she accidentally pushed the mistress down the stairs, committing manslaughter. She was also taken away.
The whole thing escalated until the end of December.
In the end, only Liu Hao and Liu Baozhu from the Liu family escaped punishment; the others had committed crimes.
Liu Wenqing was sentenced to death directly, his father was placed under supervision, and Feng Lanjiao was sentenced to ten years for manslaughter.
Liu Wucheng was taken away and detained again for using illegal drugs.
The Liu family in Beijing collapsed instantly, causing widespread sighs of regret throughout the city and even the upper class across the country.
Lu Zhengjing's investigation into transnational smuggling seems to have hit a snag, as the leads he had previously uncovered have suddenly gone cold.
It's not that we haven't had suspicions about the Mo family, who are related to the Liu family, but the evidence is still insufficient.
