Chapter 249 A Near Accident Happened While Staying at the Gu Family Home
"You may rise now; the ceremony is almost over."
These words were like a pardon to Lu Jingxiao, and he quickly stepped forward to help the person up.
She even rubbed Luo Zhiwei's knees with tenderness, feeling extremely sorry for her: "Your knees must hurt from kneeling."
Old Master Gu: "......"
It's just that I'm old now, otherwise I would have given you two big slaps no matter what.
When they were writing their family genealogies, who didn't kneel down to receive them?
Gu Yulin was only five years old when he knelt down, and no one seemed to care much about him.
It's only been a few minutes.
Is it 20 minutes?
Lu Jingxiao felt extremely distressed; anyone who didn't know better would think he was physically punishing Weiwei.
Look at how distressed he is, as if Weiwei has suffered a great injustice.
Seeing this, Luo Zhiwei felt a little embarrassed. She whispered, "Ah Xiao, I'm really fine. I've only been kneeling for a few minutes. It's not corporal punishment. You don't need to do this."
She enjoyed Lu Jingxiao's care, but that didn't mean she had to show it all the time.
For example, right now... she's so embarrassed she could dig out a villa out of it.
"I know, but it breaks my heart. You have such delicate skin, how can you compare to people with thicker skin?"
Everyone: "......"
Who are you talking about?!
It seems like you're the only outsider here.
You're the one who's being a bit nosy.
Gu Hancheng used to find Lu Jingxiao quite pleasing to the eye, but now... his feelings are a little different.
He now finds this younger person somewhat irritating, especially since he and Weiwei are standing too close together.
"You two siblings can stay at home today. Both of your rooms have been renovated, including You Ran's, which also has its own room."
He continued, "However, You Ran said she has a very important meeting today and can't make it back. We'll bring her back to check on the room after the family reunion banquet."
Luo Zhiwei was very surprised, she didn't expect them to have even taken these things into account.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved; her eyes were gentle and full of gratitude: "Thank you, Dad, thank you."
Thank you for even considering You Ran.
Thank you.
Luo Zhiwei ignored Lu Jingxiao and went straight up to hug Gu Hancheng.
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
Where is my baby?
I have a feeling that Uncle Gu did it on purpose.
"Baby, it's getting late, we should go home."
Gu Hancheng frowned unhappily. Why was Lu Jingxiao so clueless at this moment?
Why isn't he leaving yet?
Is he planning to stay overnight?
However, Madam Gu said very warmly, "Jingxiao, it's so late today, don't go back. Just stay at home with Weiwei and rest. There are plenty of rooms in the house, there's room for you."
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
It seems they're determined to keep Weiwei at home today. Well, that makes sense; Weiwei is their precious darling. They went to great lengths to decorate Weiwei's princess room, so naturally they want her to stay at home.
Luo Zhiwei suddenly felt a bit awkward and inexplicably panicked. She didn't know how to get along with her so-called family.
"This...should I still..."
She couldn't bring herself to refuse; the gazes of her family were simply too intense, and she no longer knew how to say no.
Lu Jingxiao suddenly said, "Then...Grandma Gu, you have to put my room and Weiwei's room next to each other. Although this is Weiwei's home, it's her first time staying here, so she'll feel uncomfortable. I want to stay with Weiwei."
Old Madam Gu was even more pleased with Lu Jingxiao. She smiled and joked, "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. Your rooms are next to each other, but..."
However, she still warned, "Young man of the Lu family, you'd better watch your step at home. If you do anything that displeases us, I'll kick you out."
"Yes, Grandma Gu, I will definitely keep to my limits."
As long as I don't separate from Weiwei.
He can do anything.
That's how it was decided that I would stay at the Gu family's house.
However, just as Lu Jingxiao had expected, Luo Zhiwei was somewhat unaccustomed to this unfamiliar environment.
You can even hear the crickets chirping from the housekeeper.
[Luo Zhiwei is so lucky! She was raised by Chairman Luo for the first 20 years of her life, and then became the eldest daughter of the Gu family for the next few decades. Even novels wouldn't dare to write something like this.]
[Who can argue with that? What's the point of working hard yourself? It's better to be born into a good family and enjoy endless wealth and luxury.]
[And President Lu also dotes on her. I really don't know what tricks she has up her sleeve to get the Lu and Gu families to protect her like this?]
【No, don't you use Weibo?】
【What's the meaning? 】
[Luo Zhiwei is our young lady, didn't you see her when she was being listed in the family tree?]
[I...I thought it was for some other reason. What a clever tactic.]
Luo Zhiwei couldn't stand it anymore, especially the other person's sarcastic face, which made her very uncomfortable.
"If you think my methods are good, why don't you try them yourselves?"
She didn't mince words and retorted directly: "Let's see if you can get into the Gu family's genealogy and get Lu Jingxiao to marry you through your methods."
When everyone heard something was wrong with the sound, they quickly turned around and saw Luo Zhiwei standing behind them.
The group of people were so frightened that they backed away, lowered their heads, and dared not speak.
"Why did you stop talking?"
Luo Zhiwei leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, looking like she was about to interrogate someone: "I'd also like to know what methods I used to make you all make such malicious speculations here."
"So much time has passed, surely everyone knows I'm Gu Hancheng's biological daughter, so is there a problem with me returning to the Gu family?"
The maids remained silent, but Luo Zhiwei was clearly not so easy to talk to.
Answer me!
Her tone was quite alarming.
"No...no problem."
One of the maids reacted quickly, begging for forgiveness: "Miss, we were just being tactless. Please don't punish us. We know we were wrong and we won't do it again."
Luo Zhiwei simply shook her head slightly, seemingly not intending to let them off so easily.
“You don’t need to tell me these things. I will tell my dad the truth and let him handle it.”
The fact that even the maids in the house dared to gossip about their masters behind their backs clearly indicates that either they didn't intend for her to come back, or someone was deliberately stirring things up.
Regardless of the cause, it's important to raise awareness within the family.
Luo Zhiwei turned around to go downstairs, but was suddenly stopped by a maid.
The other person looked terrified and pleaded, "Miss, I beg you, please don't tell the master, and don't tell the old master and madam, or we're finished."
Luo Zhiwei was at the top of the stairs, in a very dangerous situation.
"Let go of me."
Luo Zhiwei gripped the stair railing tightly with her other hand. Seeing that the maid had no intention of letting go, she could only call for help.
"Lu Jingxiao, save me!"
The sound was loud. Lu Jingxiao had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower when he heard Weiwei's voice. He didn't care whether he had changed his clothes or not and rushed out in his bathrobe.
Seeing the maid about to harm Weiwei, he quickly stepped forward, kicked the maid away, and grabbed Luo Zhiwei's hand with lightning speed.
This prevented her from falling.
Late at night, this was quite a close call.
"Baby, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
He disregarded his image to examine Luo Zhiwei, fearing that she might suffer even the slightest harm.
Luo Zhiwei's cries for help alerted the others, and everyone appeared at the stairwell.
Lu Jingxiao turned his attention to Gu Yulin and said sternly, "Boss, is this the Gu family's maid? She actually dared to lay a hand on the young lady of the family. It seems you need to deal with her properly."
Gu Yulin didn't ask what had happened, and directly ordered, "Men, take these women under control!"
