Knock knock knock!
"Sister, Grandpa asked me to call you down for dinner."
Outside the door, Lu Chengyan's voice was heard.
When Lu Zhaoning opened the door, he met Lu Chengyan's cunning eyes.
He raised his eyebrows and asked with an amused look, "What's that expression on your face?"
"Everyone knows about your bravery and fighting prowess. I've already told everyone about your heroic deeds in the group chat."
"Who are you referring to?"
"Of course it's us brothers and sisters." Lu Chengyan paused, then added, "No outsiders."
They both knew who this outsider was.
bite!
Messages kept ringing on the phone.
Lu Zhaoning clicked on it and found that he had been pulled into a WeChat group called Lu Family Meeting Room.
Lu Shiyi: [Did Lu Zhaoning really hit Zhixia in front of grandma?]
The others all responded with question mark expressions.
Lu Chengyan immediately started a voice message in the group: [Brother Shi Yu, where did you hear this rumor? Is my sister the kind of person who only makes small calculations? She is always very direct when she takes action, okay?]
Lu Zhaoning glanced at Lu Chengyan and said, "Are you really not afraid of getting beaten for saying bad things about me in front of me?"
"Sister, I'm just clearing your name, so that no one will complain and say they were bullied by you."
"It doesn't matter. I don't care."
When Lu Zhaoning went downstairs, everyone in the Lu family was there except her and Lu Chengyan.
"Zhaoning, sit here with me."
When Lu Jinyue saw Lu Zhaoning, she gestured to her to sit over.
Lu Zhenghe thought that his relationship with his daughter had eased a lot in the afternoon, and wanted Lu Zhaoning to sit next to him, but he saw that Lu Zhaoning was already sitting next to Lu Jinyue.
"I brought you several high-end dresses. Go up and try them on after dinner. If they don't fit, I'll take them back and have them altered."
“Thank you, Auntie!”
Lu Zhaoning already has a variety of dresses in her wardrobe, but she is still grateful for Lu Jinyue's kindness.
Originally, she wanted to wait until the plot was almost over before telling Lu Jinyue the whereabouts of the child.
But seeing the haggardness and anxiety that could not be concealed in Lu Jinyue's eyes and eyebrows, Lu Zhaoning decided that she would tell Lu Jinyue about the whereabouts of the child after dinner.
"Jinyue, how can you, as an aunt, be so partial? You only prepared a dress for Zhaoning, but what about Zhixia's?"
After Mrs. Lu said this, the restaurant fell silent for a moment.
[Is the old lady confused or is she only interested in Meng Zhixia?]
The old lady felt she had caused the death of her brother, so it was only natural that she loved her brother's granddaughter. However, genes are hereditary, especially the leukemic gene.
All the elders who heard Lu Zhaoning's inner thoughts all looked at Meng Zhixia subtly.
"Mom, Zhaoning's birthday party is coming soon. This is the first time she's appeared in public in twenty years. As the only daughter of the Lu family, she's bound to attract attention. Doesn't Zhixia have a dress?"
"Then prepare two similar sets, so that others will know that our Lu family has a pair of sisters."
[Moms, do you feel a sense of distance? Do I need sisters?]
Mrs. Lu's words were shocking. Not only the younger generation of the Lu family were shocked, but even Mr. Lu frowned.
But even if he was unhappy with his wife, he would not say anything in public.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? Although Zhixia's last name isn't Lu, she was raised by me. If the eldest brother hadn't disagreed, Zhixia would be a daughter of the Lu family now."
This reunion dinner is destined to be a bad one.
"What are you talking about? I have a daughter, so why should I raise someone else's child?"
Lu Zhenghe said this with a cold expression, and gave Lu Zhaoning a reassuring look, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
"Grandma, what you said is true. Zhixia's surname is Meng. She is the daughter of your nephew from your mother's side. Our Lu family has raised her for so many years. Isn't that enough?"
Lu Jinbei's words were not so pleasant, and he was more straightforward.
Madam Lu said with a stern face: "It's just a girl. It's not like the Lu family can't afford to raise her."
"Let alone a girl, even hundreds of Lu families can afford to support her, but why would the Lu family support someone who is not related to them?"
Lu Jinbei had a smile on his face and spoke in a calm tone, but the tone of his question made Mrs. Lu feel a little unhappy.
Meng Zhixia, who was being discussed, was even more embarrassed.
She knew that Lu Jinbei had never liked her, and it was even worse after Lu Zhaoning came back.
So she tried her best to avoid being with Lu Jinbei, for fear that he would see through her thoughts at a glance.
"What are you talking about? Zhixia is my grandniece from my mother's side. She's my relative and yours too. How can she be an irrelevant person?"
Lu Chengyan ignored his mother's eyes and said with a smile: "Grandma, you love Sister Zhixia so much, can't you love my sister a little more? My sister was bullied by the Jiang family before."
"I don't think she has the personality to be bullied. Who knows what's going on."
Lu Zhaoning just found it funny. She picked up her chopsticks and looked directly at Madam Lu.
Lu Zhenghe stood up suddenly, his brows gloomy, "Mom, you are Zhaoning's grandmother, yet you say such things, are you deliberately hurting her feelings?"
"No, I'm just stating the facts." As if she had thought of something, Madam Lu asked coldly, "I heard she wants to act again?"
"As a father, I am proud of my daughter's ability to protect herself. My daughter can do whatever she wants, and I agreed to her acting."
Madam Lu's expression also darkened.
"The eldest daughter of the dignified Lu family insisted on becoming an actress. If this gets out, how will people view our Lu family?"
