"I didn't expect my senior brother to have this trick up his sleeve! He fooled the two of them! But that's not right of him; he should have given us some time and space to prepare."
An Yiruo sent a text message to complain about her senior.
"Exactly, exactly. They tricked me into coming here without me being prepared at all."
Although he had prepared a gift for me in advance, I still felt a little rushed and awkward.
What should I do?! Please help! Yi Ruo!
"Honey, what's the Lu family like?" Looking at the message Zhang Yuanyuan sent, An Yiruo didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she could only ask Mo Jingchen for help first.
"Why are you suddenly interested in the Lu family?" Mo Jingchen asked with interest, playing with An Yiruo's slender hand.
“Zhang Yuanyuan, you’ve been tricked by your good brother Lu Ze into marrying into the Lu family!” An Yiruo said truthfully.
"Wow, I didn't expect this kid to have some of my guts."
"Stop joking around, tell me quickly what kind of presence Lu Ze has in the Lu family."
"Lu Ze is the second young master of the Lu family. Although he is called the second young master, all the resources and education of the Lu family are given to the eldest young master of the Lu family."
He, the second young master, was practically just a backdrop for the eldest young master, there to highlight the eldest young master's exceptional talent.
"How could such a thing happen? They're both biological children, how can there be such a big difference?" An Yiruo frowned, worried about whether her friend would have a difficult time in the future.
"The eldest young master has been raised as the heir since childhood, while Lu Ze can have anything he wants as long as he doesn't get involved in the family business."
This is why the second young master of the Lu family switched careers to become a fashion designer.
“So that’s how it is. Then Yuanyuan…” An Yiruo’s brows furrowed slightly with worry.
"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Lu Ze had no intention of fighting for the family business. In this way, it can be considered as fulfilling his wish in a roundabout way."
His parents are still kind parents, as long as Lu Ze doesn't touch the eldest son of the Lu family or the Lu family's business. So, if your best friend really marries Lu Ze, you and I don't need to worry about the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship.
As for your best friend, you don't need to worry at all. The money Lu Ze has earned over the years is enough for your best friend to live comfortably for several lifetimes.
Mo Jingchen noticed the worry in An Yiruo's eyes and explained to her to put her mind at ease.
"All right."
Upon receiving this message, An Yiruo opened Zhang Yuanyuan's chat window and asked, "Yuanyuan, are you alright?"
"It's alright, it just went from feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles to being treated like a little monkey in a zoo, at the mercy of his family!"
"You're so lively and cheerful, such a genuine person, this is a perfect opportunity for you to get to know their family!"
"When meeting his family for the first time, I can't be too effeminate. I should at least act a bit ladylike and make a good impression!"
Yiruo, what should I do? This is so hard! Aaaaaaahhhhh~
"Distant water can't quench a fire nearby, but I believe in you. Keep going, Yuanyuan!" An Yiruo added a cheering emoji after the text.
"An Yiruo, you heartless bastard!"
The sisters' chat ended briefly, but Mo Jingfei, who was standing to the side, was texting someone, looking shy and the tenderness in her eyes seemed to overflow onto the other side of the screen.
"Feifei, something's up!" An Yiruo leaned closer, looking at her with a mischievous grin.
"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. There's nothing going on!" Mo Jingfei gripped her phone tightly, holding it to her chest.
It looks like a chick guarding its food.
"Look at this, and you still say there's nothing going on?" An Yiruo said with certainty, her eyes fixed on the phone in Mo Jingfei's arms.
"Shh, I'll treat you to dinner another day, and please keep it a secret for me. Don't tell anyone yet!" Mo Jingfei knew she couldn't escape her sister-in-law's sharp eyes, so she had no choice but to keep quiet.
"So... I guessed right?" An Yiruo covered her mouth with one hand, looking at Mo Jingfei with an incredulous expression.
After all, not a single piece of information had been revealed before.
"Sister-in-law, you tricked me!" Mo Jingfei pouted, looking unhappy.
"As the saying goes, all's fair in war. If you don't even understand this basic principle, you can't be considered a member of the Mo family," Mo Jingchen said, stepping forward to speak up for his wife.
"You've corrupted my sister-in-law. Give me back my gentle, kind, and lovely sister-in-law!"
Mo Jingfei held onto her phone tightly, and her confrontational attitude towards Mo Jingchen showed no signs of abating.
"If you're so capable, why don't you find someone to help you too!" Mo Jingchen said, putting his arm around An Yiruo, looking like he was enjoying the show.
"You...you win. Just you wait!"
"Hmph, just you wait."
Mo Jingfei stopped arguing with Mo Jingchen and instead angrily picked up her phone, texting someone.
An Yiruo and Mo Jingchen exchanged a glance, already knowing the answer in their hearts, and sighed, "Girls really are hard to keep at home once they grow up!"
On New Year's Eve, after eating dumplings, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Lying in bed, An Yiruo thought about Zhang Yuanyuan and was still a little worried, so she sent a message: "Yuanyuan, are you asleep?"
Zhang Yuanyuan replied almost instantly, "Not asleep!"
"I'm at the Mo family's old residence today, so it's not convenient to ask you about the specifics. How was the trip to the Lu family's house today?"
"I'm really worried about this!" Zhang Yuanyuan texted, followed by a picture.
The picture shows various gifts. They completely filled the bed!
"Yuanyuan, did you win the lottery? You bought so much stuff!"
"If I really won the lottery, I wouldn't be so worried!"
These are all the gifts the Lu family gave me today at the Lu family home!
"It seems they value you quite a bit."
Putting everything else aside, the sincerity of the Lu family can be seen from this bed as a gift.
"It's just that it's too valuable, and I don't know what to do with it for a while."
"What did Lu Ze say?"
"He told me to accept it without worry. He told me not to feel guilty, that it was all rightfully my responsibility," Zhang Yuanyuan relayed Lu Ze's exact words.
"In that case, just accept it. After all, it's a token of the Lu family's goodwill."
Besides, Lu Ze meant for you to keep it, so you don't need to feel too guilty.
"But speaking of which, how did you get along with the Lu family today? What are their personalities like? Are they easy to get along with?"
"Their family members, well, they're actually quite easy to get along with."
Before An Yiruo could reply, Zhang Yuanyuan sent a second text message: "However, Yiruo, you have no idea that when I appeared at the Lu family, not only was I stunned, but the Lu family was also stunned!"
They never expected Lu Ze to bring his girlfriend home!
"That's where your senior brother went wrong. He took you back without even discussing it with his family!"
