Little Wenying looked at her mother, then at the "pretty auntie" in front of her who was smiling so gently and beautifully. After hesitating for a moment, she still spoke in her childish voice.
"Beautiful...Grandma."
Sang Niannian exclaimed "Hey!" and happily took Xiao Wenying, holding her in her arms and gently bouncing her around, clearly delighted.
Holding the soft little dumpling, Lu Xici introduced Chi Yanzhou and his group to Sang Niannian and Lu Jin one by one.
Sang Niannian held Wen Ying in her arms, looking at Luo Xingyou, Luo Xinghe, Gu Wan... She couldn't guess which one was her daughter-in-law after trying for a long time.
In the end, her gaze was too direct, and Lu Nange said, "Mom, these are my good friends."
Sang Niannian's expectation instantly vanished by half, and she let out a soft sigh.
"My heart is broken... I knew it! These girls are all so beautiful and outstanding, they don't seem like the kind of girls who would end up with your brother, that blockhead who hasn't even figured things out yet."
"Never mind, children and grandchildren have their own lives. Besides, I already have our little Cherry, don't I, my little darling?"
That night, none of the dozen or so people planned to stay in a hotel, not even Lu Nange's new apartment in the same neighborhood. They all insisted on squeezing into Lu's villa.
Under the guise of "liveliness," they were actually just crowding together to wait for tomorrow night to arrive.
Lu Jin and Sang Niannian were both amused and exasperated, but also genuinely happy that their home was so lively.
Fortunately, the Lu family villa is large enough. Lu Nange, Lu Beiye, and Lu Xici all have their own private bathrooms and are spacious, plus a few guest rooms.
Everyone squeezed in, some sleeping on the floor, some on the sofa, but they finally managed to squeeze in a few people.
At night, hushed laughter and occasional playful noises drifted from different rooms of the villa, filling it with a vibrant and warm atmosphere.
The next day, everyone simply dragged Lu Jin and Sang Niannian out together, calling it "family day".
Their footprints can be found at several iconic tourist attractions in the southern part of the city.
The camera shutter clicked incessantly, capturing many group photos filled with smiling faces.
At first, Lu Jin maintained a somewhat authoritative demeanor as the head of the family, but he couldn't resist the banter and jokes from He Zhuo and his group, and soon relaxed, his face beaming with smiles.
In less than two days, Lu Jin and Sang Niannian were "besieged" by this group of young people with sincerity and enthusiasm.
He accepted, somewhat confused but willingly, the "happy acquisition" of nine godchildren, each with distinct personalities but all outstanding and pleasing to the eye.
In addition, there's the fact that she has a cute and adorable granddaughter.
The house was bustling with activity like never before, which brought the couple a different kind of fulfillment and joy.
Around 3 p.m., the group, tired from walking and having had enough fun, returned to the villa.
The employees of Lujia Supermarket delivered a large amount of the freshest ingredients and drinks.
Everyone decided to cook a barbecue in the villa's courtyard and wait for night to fall.
Lu Xici was skillfully starting a charcoal fire with Chi Yanzhou, while Gu Qi, He Zhuo, and several other boys were washing and skewering vegetables...
The girls were gathered on the other side, processing seafood and fruit...
Sang Niannian sat down next to her daughter: "Nannan, when did your brother learn all this?"
And Xiaochi and the others, they all seem to come from well-off families, how come they're all so efficient at work? They don't seem spoiled at all.
Lu Nange wiped the water droplets off her hands, her expression unchanged: "Now that I'm in university, away from home, I have to rely on myself for many things. I guess I'll gradually learn how to do it."
Sang Niannian: "Yes, your brother's friends are really great. They are polite, well-mannered, and have impeccable temperament and looks. The key is that they are comfortable to be around and don't have the frivolousness of those rich kids."
Lu Nange nodded, watching her companions busy in the sunlight: "They are all doing very well."
Sang Niannian quietly moved closer to her daughter, glancing at Chi Yanzhou seemingly unintentionally, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"Nan Nan, why does Mom feel... that Xiao Chi's gaze towards you isn't quite 'innocent'?"
Lu Nange turned her head: "Mom... I told you to read less of those domineering CEO novels. Look at the wild and inappropriate words you're saying!"
Sang Niannian gave a meaningful "Oh," then gracefully turned to get her drink, leaving behind a lighthearted remark.
"I think you two siblings have both inherited your dad's blockheadedness. He claims to have both high IQ and EQ, but your EQ is practically in the negatives!"
