22 022 Gold on the face
◎The whole family praised.◎
In the evening, Lu Sinian returned to the old house. He came back a little late today. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the living room, he saw Lu Hui and his wife sitting on the sofa, obviously waiting for him.
"Why did you come back so late?" Jiang Xiu looked him up and down, with a questioning tone in her voice.
"Overtime." He was changing his shoes.
Jiang Xiu was immediately furious when she heard his brief answer. This brat acted like a big shot all day long and was so cold even to his own mother, let alone his wife.
She stood up and rushed over angrily.
"Hey, Xiuxiu, please speak nicely!" Lu Hui was startled by her sudden action and hurriedly tried to reach out to stop her, but Jiang Xiu's movements were too fast.
By the time the Lu father and son reacted, Jiang Xiu had already rushed to Lu Sinian. She moved closer and sniffed with her nose wrinkled.
Lu Sinian didn't know what she meant, but he didn't move. He just stayed where he was and let her do what she wanted.
"It's okay. There's no smell of alcohol or perfume." She sniffed it carefully, snorted softly, took a step back, and let him go.
"Mom, when did you become a police dog?" Lu Sinian was speechless and couldn't help but tease.
Jiang Xiu raised his head and slapped him on the shoulder, saying unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm warning you, be nice to Lulu and don't mess around outside. You're a married man, you have to observe male ethics, understand?"
Since his son and daughter-in-law appeared on a couple variety show, Jiang Xiu has also been surfing the Internet frequently recently, so he is very familiar with these new words and can use them flexibly.
Lu Sinian raised his eyebrows, "Dad, please listen more carefully."
"Your mother is talking about you, don't change the subject. Your daughter-in-law didn't have a good life in the Ren family before, and it wasn't easy for her to marry into the Lu family. You, a grown man, can't bully her." Lu Hui felt very guilty, but he didn't show it on his face. He lowered his voice and spoke with confidence.
"What's wrong with Ren Lu? Why are you saying this? Grandma finally couldn't stand it anymore and hit her?" Lu Sinian was really confused and said with a puzzled look on his face.
"You kid, why are you talking nonsense? What's wrong with her? Don't you know?" Jiang Xiu couldn't help but want to hit him again.
This child has been a man of few words since he was young, and once he opens his mouth he only says irritating words.
"Hey, Xiuxiu, don't worry, I'll talk to him. You go back to your room first." Lu Hui hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, hugged Jiang Xiu in his arms, patted her back gently, and pushed her towards the bedroom.
He was feeling very nervous and excited at the moment. He was afraid that Jiang Xiu wouldn't be able to hold back and let the cat out of the bag. Then all his previous efforts would be in vain. He had to stay calm.
Oh, Lu Hui got a headache just thinking about it. He had to calm the three women of the Lu family, make them shut up, and not reveal the truth in front of Lu Sinian, thus deceiving both sides.
"Today they watched a TV show together, a melodramatic drama about a woman who had a hard life, was cheated on by her husband, had affairs and domestic violence, and the youngest wife in particular was almost tortured to death by her husband, so they felt a little emotional. Women are like this, they tend to overthink. That's why your mother reminded you not to become a scumbag, and to be careful when playing with women, and not to cause unrest in the family."
After Lu Hui came back, he gave some earnest advice.
What Jiang Xiu said just now will definitely arouse suspicion. Lu Sinian will have to go upstairs to meet Ren Lu later. Ren Lu must be unable to accept it at the moment and her emotions are fluctuating greatly. It would be normal if she showed something wrong at that time.
In order to prevent Lu Sinian from further investigating, Lu Hui made up an excuse.
Lu Sinian raised his head and looked at him with a smile.
"Dad, Mom shouldn't have said this to me. She should have said it to you. She's worried about the wrong person."
He walked upstairs in his slippers and stopped when he passed by Lu Hui.
"Dad, you are old and you have to accept your age." After saying this, he left without looking back.
Lu Hui was left with a frosty face, gritting his teeth secretly.
Did this bastard realize something? Did someone tip off Lu Sinian?
He first doubted it, then quickly denied it.
Although he handed over many of the Lu family's industries to Lu Sinian for management, the Lu family's old house and Kanglu Hospital were still in his hands, so it was impossible for Lu Sinian to have the source of information.
At most, this brat is just a talkative guy who wants to talk back.
When Lu Sinian entered the bedroom, Ren Lu was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, with a facial mask on her face, humming a little tune, looking very happy.
"Are you in a good mood?" he asked.
"You're back and in a good mood." She took the initiative to step forward and untie his tie for him.
This is a little tacit understanding between them. Usually, they would untie their tie to silently convey the message of whether they want to have sex tonight.
If they are interested, they will exchange glances with each other. If they are not interested, then basically they will understand each other just by looking at each other.
"Did anything happen today? Mom and Dad don't seem normal." He reached out and stroked her neck, asking casually.
"I don't know either, but they were all very easy to talk to. They actually agreed to let us come to the old house to record the show. Even grandma didn't refuse. It's really strange." She pursed her lips and tilted her head as if she was thinking hard. She looked innocent and distressed.
"Really? You really don't know anything?" The man pressed the back of her neck with a little force.
Although his strength was not particularly great and Ren Lu could break free easily, it was this vague sense of restraint that made her even more uneasy.
After all, she had just made money from a dead person, and now being questioned, she couldn't help feeling guilty.
However, she came to Lu Sinian to make a fortune. In the past five years, she had done countless bad things, both right and wrong. She didn't care about this time, so she had no reaction.
As for pressing the neck, it is the habitual behavior of this dog man. He likes to stroke the back of Ren Lu's neck. This is indeed an intimate gesture, but it is actually more of a form of control.
On the white and slender neck, one could even clearly see the blue veins near the throat, as if they would break if twisted.
Fortunately, he does not believe in violence, otherwise he would have strangled me.
"Mr. Lu, I don't know anything except you." When she was taking off his tie, she seemed to accidentally hook her fingers lightly on his Adam's apple. The slight movement instantly caused an itchy feeling.
The man who was originally thinking about questioning her suddenly had a dark look in his eyes. The rationality in his mind faded away, and was gradually taken over by desire.
He pulled her towards him, captured her lips accurately, and attacked her vigorously.
The man has been very passionate recently. Every time he kisses, it feels like a war and he gets hot in an instant.
His hand caressed from the back of her neck down, lingering on her slender waist, as if he was playing with a piece of fine mutton-fat jade.
The warm palms lit a fire on her body.
Soon the two of them became disheveled, taking off their clothes one by one, making a mess.
Ren Lu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It doesn't matter how old the trick is, as long as it works.
She knew that no matter how smart this bastard was, as long as she teased him a little, he would immediately stop thinking and only want to think with his lower body.
The main reason was that Lu Sinian was too perceptive. She couldn't let him continue questioning her, otherwise, once she revealed any abnormal emotions, he would follow the clues to find the truth.
When making decisions, he is like the wolf king, strategizing and leading the tribe to victory.
But when looking for the enemy's weakness, he is like a hyena, staring at the target sinisterly, and no matter how small the flaw is, it will not escape his eyes.
But soon, she regretted this decision because Lu Sinian was very enthusiastic and excited tonight.
"Why did it take so long?" she asked him through gritted teeth, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
"I'm not full yet." The man leaned close to her ear, his voice terribly low and hoarse, as if he wanted to eat her.
"Hurry up and finish it!" She pushed his shoulder and couldn't help but urge him.
"You invited me, how can I not feed me?" he disagreed.
"If you feed me any more, I'll die of stuffiness." She protested dissatisfiedly.
Unfortunately, the man turned a deaf ear to her words and was even unwilling to make a sound. He just answered her with his actions, saying that he was really hungry.
***
Early in the morning, all the staff members of the program team rushed over. When they were led in one by one, they all acted a little reserved.
Although they often photograph luxury homes, one as luxurious as the Lu family’s old home is still very rare.
It's obviously not a nouveau riche decoration, but it exudes extreme luxury everywhere, as if the floor tiles under your feet are made of gold, making people dare not speak loudly.
"Everyone, the madam said that if you want to take pictures of the layout, you can go to the back garden. Other places are not suitable, but the garden is okay." The person leading the way said softly.
When the photographer heard that he could only take pictures of the garden, he was a little disappointed. After all, the landscaping of the mansion must be hidden. He couldn't recognize some valuable things just because he was ignorant. If he started a live broadcast, the majority of netizens would definitely have eagle eyes and be able to recognize these things.
Of course he didn't dare to act rashly, so he just followed him to the back garden, turned on the camera, and started the live broadcast.
"Dear audience, guess where this is?" the director lowered his voice and spoke.
The live camera was aimed at a sea of flowers, all in a riot of colour, competing for splendor.
——What beautiful flowers!
——Is this a botanical garden? There are so many species.
—Wait, was that a lotus orchid with a white crown and a lotus tripod? The last time a precious orchid was auctioned, it sold for over 10 million yuan.
——Oh my God, Chunlan Tianyihe, a set costs 20 million, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate. It is extremely precious. Is this some kind of plant paradise?
——There are so many precious flowers, it’s almost a flower encyclopedia, where are they?
I originally thought that a back garden could not satisfy the public's desires. In fact, the photographers' imagination was too poor. They were able to identify so many precious flowers just by shooting one piece of land.
"This is the legendary Lu family's old house. But due to privacy reasons, we can only shoot the garden's exterior for now, and then shoot the interior scenes later." The director revealed the mystery.
The camera shifted and began to capture the overall structure of the garden, causing comments of amazement in the comments.
——Fuck, is this a fountain?
——Ah, it turns out that rich people’s gardens are equipped with fountains.
——Is the security guard at the Lu family’s old house strong enough? I want to steal some flowers.
——If I move any pot out of that area, I can achieve financial freedom.
——I'm going to fight with you rich people. This is not a garden, it's clearly a gathering place for villas, luxury cars and diamonds!
——What is showing off wealth? This is showing off wealth. From now on, I don’t even want to look at houses, cars, and big swimming pools. Let me look at flowers. If even a pot of flowers is so valuable, it proves that you are really rich and have a rich foundation.
——Emma, the Lu family is indeed an old wealthy family, and the Lu family’s old house is indeed a legendary one. I originally thought that those rumors were demonized, but now it seems that it was just poverty that limited my imagination.
No wonder the Lu family did not allow the filming of other exterior scenes. The garden scene alone has attracted countless attention, and some people even started calculating how much the garden is worth.
Neither the director nor the cameraman said anything, they just kept filming.
Judging from the liveliness and shock level of the comments, they don't even need to say a word, these precious flowers can attract countless attention.
"Madam, this is the production crew of 'Perfect Couple', and we are broadcasting live from the small garden." The guide greeted respectfully.
When everyone heard this ancient name, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all followed suit and greeted him.
"Hello."
"Sorry to bother you, we didn't record you." The director immediately came out to explain.
Many wealthy people do not want to be on the show, after all, making a fortune in silence is the right thing to do.
"It's okay, you guys come and record. Ren Lu asked for my opinion and I agreed. Just don't keep filming me." Old Madam Lu changed from her previous harsh and old-fashioned attitude to become polite and courteous. She even nodded politely to the director.
When several people heard her say this, they immediately raised their cameras and pointed them at her.
There's no need to be polite at a time like this. Of course, you should take more pictures as soon as possible. This old lady is a celebrity.
Madam Lu was dressed very exquisitely, in a dark cheongsam, with her silver hair tied up with a jade hairpin and a string of sandalwood beads on her wrist, exuding an elegant temperament.
She didn't do any weird cosmetic surgery, and her face showed very clear signs of aging, but she was still very beautiful, and even her figure didn't seem bloated at all.
"Madam, can I interview you?" The director asked boldly when he saw how friendly she was.
"Okay." She nodded.
The director quietly clenched his fist to cheer himself up, "What kind of person do you think your granddaughter-in-law Ren Lu is?"
After getting up in the morning, Mrs. Lu likes to sit in the garden and appreciate the flowers. This has always been her habit.
When she learned that there was a program recording today, she came as usual, actually out of curiosity.
She would not tell others that she was not opposed to being on TV and was even looking forward to it. After all, Mrs. Lu was very concerned about her reputation, so why not do something that could make her proud?
Moreover, she always felt that Ren Lu was a time bomb. She seemed to have a lot of fans on the show this time. If the time bomb exploded, it would be bad for the Lu family. I am afraid that these fans would also speak rudely to the Lu family.
In order to avoid that kind of scene, Mrs. Lu wanted to appear on camera. She wasn't thinking about how many fans she could attract, but at least she could have some popularity among passers-by, so that when Ren Lu really did something bad for the Lu family, the audience would not be biased.
But she didn't expect that the first question was about Ren Lu.
But in front of the camera, she couldn't say a bad word.
"It would be a good thing for her to become Mrs. Lu." She said nice things but refused to say a word more, fearing that it would only add to the glory of Ren Lu's character.
"The audience is very curious about how Ren Lu became Mrs. Lu from a secretary? What was your reaction when you knew she was going to enter the Lu family?" The director gradually became bolder and asked more pointed questions than before.
"She is Si Nian's wife. Naturally, she became Mrs. Lu because Si Nian likes her. As for my reaction, it is very welcoming." Old Madam Lu smiled at the camera, looking kind and elegant.
In fact, with every word she spoke, she felt a little more regretful.
If I had known, I would have stayed in the bedroom instead of coming out to suffer this!
Asking her to flatter Ren Lu was even more painful than killing her, but she didn't want to be sarcastic. It wasn't that she was afraid of public attacks, but because of what happened with Meihua yesterday, the scene of Ren Lu going crazy was still vivid in her mind. She didn't want to provoke this crazy woman again, lest it be embarrassing.
Ren Lu said something right yesterday: those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Madam Lu is very proud and she really doesn't want to lose face in front of so many viewers in the live broadcast room.
The director wanted to ask more questions, but Mrs. Lu looked to the side and someone immediately came forward to stop her.
"Sorry to bother you, I wish you a happy life!" The director decided to stop while he was ahead.
The group was invited to the front hall, which happened to be breakfast time at the Lu family.
Lu Hui and Jiang Xiu were sitting at the dining table. It was almost the end of their meal and Jiang Xiu was handing him a towel to wipe his hands. The two looked very harmonious.
"Would you like to have breakfast together?" Jiang Xiu invited them to eat.
The staff quickly refused and didn't dare to take pictures of them. It was only after Jiang Xiu said it was okay that they continued.
"Mr. Lu and Teacher Ren haven't woken up yet?" asked the director.
"Not awake yet. It's normal for young people to get up late. But Si Nian usually gets up early for meetings, so we slept late today too. I guess it's because we stayed up a little late last night." Jiang Xiu answered calmly.
The barrage seemed to explode instantly.
——Fuck, what are you talking about!
——Ahhh, so much information. What happened between them last night that made them get up so late!
——What else can I do? Hahaha, of course it’s □□.
——Oh my god, my mother-in-law said it so eloquently. She was so bold.
——Wow, I found that the women of the three generations of the Lu family all have good personalities. Grandma is elegant like a fairy, mother-in-law is cheerful and generous, and Ren Lu is gentle and considerate.
——This breakfast is rich and nutritious, making me drool.
"What time does Lawyer Ren usually get up at the Lu family?" The director's curiosity was aroused again.
"It depends on her mood. No one at home disturbs her sleep, so she usually goes downstairs around nine o'clock. But I think if she lives alone, she will definitely get up later. After all, there are elders at home and she has to be considerate. Young people should understand this." Jiang Xiu blinked at the camera, quite mischievously.
——Fuck, what a great mother-in-law.
——Wow, my own mother is no more than this.
——The chosen mother-in-law!
"Mrs. Lu and Teacher Ren must get along very well, right?" When the director saw how friendly she was, he immediately started talking.
"Although some people may think that what I said is fake, I still want to say that Lulu and I are as close as mother and daughter. I love her like my own daughter, but this kind of words cannot be expressed with words, but must be seen in actions. If you take more photos in the old house, you should be able to see it." Jiang Xiu is really generous and natural in front of the camera.
"Wow, everyone in the comments is saying that Mrs. Lu is the chosen mother-in-law!" the director praised.
"The premise that I am the chosen mother-in-law is that this daughter-in-law is Ren Lu, because she is the chosen daughter-in-law." Jiang Xiu directly praised her to the sky, and her satisfaction with Ren Lu was obvious to all.
"Have you two watched our show?"
"I watched the whole thing. He just watched some clips with me. Mr. Lu is quite busy." Jiang Xiu answered actively. When she answered the second half of the sentence, she pouted at Lu Hui. She was obviously going to be a grandmother, but she was unusually coquettish.
——Oh my god, I actually bumped into my parents-in-law!
——This is parental love!
——In this environment, how did Lu Sinian manage to be cool and pretentious? I thought that children with love would be a little naive.
——Tsk, a loving child in an ordinary family may indeed be naive, but how could the Lu family have a naive child? Lu Sinian still has to inherit the family business, unless the Lu family wants to go bankrupt.
"What do you think of your son and daughter-in-law's performance?" the director asked again.
"Mr. Lu, please speak first." Jiang Xiu threw the question to him.
"They are just like they are at home. Ren Lu is considerate, thoughtful, smart and caring. Si Nian is also a human being." Lu Hui commented.
Jiang Xiu immediately added: "I think he is like a refrigerator, always turning on the cold air!"
The couple sang the same tune, praising their daughter-in-law and stepping on their son, a very heavy kick.
"Come on, I'll see you out." Jiang Xiu tied his tie and watched him go out.
"Morning, Mom."
Just at this time, Lu Sinian and Ren Lu came downstairs.
Lu Sinian was wearing a neat suit, and Ren Lu followed behind him, wrapped in a bathrobe, looking dazed.
"Did Dad go to work?" Ren Lu took the time to ask.
"Yes, just left." Jiang Xiu replied.
Lu Sinian walked to the door of the living room and stopped automatically. The aunt next to him handed him a tie, and Ren Lu took it and tied it for him naturally.
The camera was facing them, no one spoke, and even the director showed an expression of surprise.
The same position in the living room, the same wife tying her husband's tie, the same beautiful scene, even the angle of sunlight is the same, expressing love without words.
"Come back quickly after work. We still have to record a show. Be careful on the road." She straightened his collar, whispered a word, and watched the man leave.
——Oh my God, it’s like I’m back to the time when I wasn’t a vicious woman.
——The inheritance of love.
——I really don’t want to eat dog food anymore!
"Continue to sleep, or eat?"
"Eat, I'm a little hungry."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law asked and answered each other in a very natural and harmonious manner.
As soon as Ren Lu sat down, Jiang Xiu had already served her some Tremella soup and the two started chatting about family matters.
"Si Nian is not here, how are you going to record the show by yourself? Do you want to suspend the live broadcast?"
"No pause, Mom, do you have time today? Why don't we go shopping?"
"Shopping is boring. By the way, a new batch of jadeite with good water content has been launched in Nanyang recently. I saw that you were on the hot search because of your jadeite bracelets before. How about asking someone to come to your house today and pick out a set of jadeite for you?" Jiang Xiu suggested.
Ren Lu didn't seem very interested and politely declined, "I just picked out a set last year and I haven't worn it yet, so why not forget it."
"Last year's was last year's. It's a routine to get a set of jade every year. It doesn't matter whether you wear it or not, you have to have it." Jiang Xiu waved her hand, indicating that her word did not count, and she contacted someone to come to the door directly.
