Maybe he's blind
Lu Jin walked into the house and was a little surprised to see so many people sitting in the living room.
The moment Lu Jin walked in, she clearly noticed that everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
"You're back!" Mrs. Lu, who was sitting in the first seat, sounded very oppressive as soon as she opened her mouth.
Lu Jin walked over slowly and stood in the middle. Looking at their posture which looked like a trial by three judges, he couldn't help but find it funny.
The Lu family clearly cares about this marriage, but they are reluctant to let their daughter marry Qin Siyan. Now all their hopes are pinned on her, but they still act superior.
It looks really ugly when eaten.
Old Madam Lu cast a scrutinizing gaze on Lu Jin's face, trying to see something from her expression.
But since Lu Jin entered the living room, the expression on her face had not changed much, which made Mrs. Lu a little confused about whether today's work was completed smoothly.
Although Mrs. Lu looked down on her granddaughter who grew up in the countryside, she had to admit that among the younger generations, Lu Jin was the one she found most difficult to understand.
"What does the Qin family say about tonight's banquet?" asked Mrs. Lu.
Lu Jin: "The eldest young master of the Qin family has agreed to date me."
"You're lying!" The girl's excited voice contained a hint of sarcasm.
Lu Jin looked over in search of the sound.
Before Madam Lu could speak, Lu Yi below was the first to step forward and expose her: "My friends said that the eldest young master of the Qin family did not attend the banquet tonight."
"Lu Jin, I didn't expect you to make up such a lie just to stay."
Lu Yi looked at Lu Jin with disdain, and she felt extremely proud of exposing Lu Jin in public.
In her heart, although Qin Siyan was a sickly person and would not live long, even so, he was not worthy of someone of Lu Jin's status.
What's more, if Lu Jin really becomes the young lady of the Qin family, wouldn't that make her superior to her?
When she was a child, every time there was a family gathering, her parents would ask her to be more accommodating to Lu Jin. Whenever there was something good, her parents would give it to Lu Jin first, and it would only come to her if Lu Jin didn't want it.
Even every time they had a conflict with Lu Jin, her parents would scold her and blame her without caring about anything.
Now she can finally step Lu Jin into the dirt, and she will never give Lu Jin any chance to climb up!
Lu Jin should live in the stinking ditch forever!
Old Madam Lu's eyes were always on Lu Jin. She originally thought that she would see fear on the girl's face after being exposed, but the expression on the girl's face did not fluctuate at all from beginning to end.
With this mentality, if the child had been raised by her side, Madam Lu would not have let others laugh at her today.
Lu Jin seemed to be unaware of the looks of people around him watching the show.
She looked at Lu Yi calmly and said calmly: "The eldest young master of the Qin family did not show up, but that doesn't mean he didn't meet me privately."
"You're still making excuses."
Lu Yi laughed angrily, and scanned Lu Jin with undisguised contempt, sneering: "Lu Jin, don't you look at yourself? The eldest young master of the Qin family is sick, but he is not blind. How could he possibly like you!"
Lu Jin paused, as if thinking seriously, before saying, "Maybe he's just blind?"
Lu Yi was furious. He pointed his index finger at Lu Jin and cursed: "Lu Jin, do you still have any shame? You——"
"Shut up, everyone!" Old Madam Lu spoke in a deep voice, interrupting their conversation.
The originally angry Lu Yi fell silent in an instant. Facing the intimidating cold gaze of Madam Lu, he lowered his head in fear and dared not show his head again.
Compared to Lu Yi's fear and terror of Old Madam Lu, Lu Jin's expression still looked quite calm, and his eyes looked at Old Madam Lu without any evasion.
It seemed as if the pressure emitted by the other party had no effect on her at all.
Seeing that his daughter had lost her mind due to Lu Jin's anger, Lu Zhou, the third wife, looked grim and warned Lu Jin in a cold voice:
"Lu Jin, even if you want to stay in the Lu family, you shouldn't rely on deceiving or even bullying your sister to achieve your goals. Even if you didn't grow up in the Lu family, you still have Lu family blood in your veins. If you tell anyone about this, people will only say that my Lu family has no manners!"
"Your lies have been exposed, but you only try to make excuses. If you had taken the initiative to admit your mistakes, we would still look upon you with a higher regard."
"You can even think of deceiving all of us with such a small matter. If we really let you stay, who knows what even more outrageous things you might do in the future."
"We are all family, and being deceived by you is not a big deal. But if your lying nature gets out to the world, it will ultimately damage the reputation and face of our entire Lu family, and people will think that our Lu family's family tradition is so shameful."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and it was obvious that everyone was happy to see Lu Jin go.
However, the final decision on this matter lies in the hands of Mrs. Lu.
Everyone carefully observed Madam Lu's expression, but saw that Madam Lu was staring at Lu Jin with an unfathomable look. For a moment, everyone was unable to figure out what Madam Lu was thinking.
Lu Jin's calmness slightly reduced Mrs. Lu's original dissatisfaction.
She looked at Lu Jin and asked, "Did Young Master Qin show up at the banquet tonight?"
Facing Madam Lu's scrutinizing gaze, Lu Jin nodded: "No."
Hearing Lu Jin's admission, Lu Yi, who was originally a little timid, immediately raised his head and straightened his back.
She couldn't help but hum.
Now you know to admit it!
Even so, Lu Jin had no way to stay!
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan took the initiative to say: "Since..."
"Although Qin Siyan did not appear in the banquet hall, I didn't say that he didn't appear elsewhere." Lu Jin interrupted Lu Qingshan with a smile.
Her eyes swept over everyone present, finally landing on Lu Zhou, who had just spoken. The curve of her mouth was filled with a hint of mockery: "Third Uncle, you've put such a big hat of moral kidnapping on me. If you don't know better, you'll think I've done something unforgivable."
"You can determine my guilt based on just a few words from others. Is this the Lu family's tradition?"
Lu Zhou's face darkened instantly: "You're still trying to make excuses!"
Lu Jin looked at Lu Zhou with a harmless smile: "Why is Third Uncle so excited? Is he angry because of embarrassment?"
"You, you--" Lu Zhou was so angry that his face turned blue. He felt so ashamed to be humiliated by a junior in public.
Lu Jin took a step back and continued, "With so many people here, Third Uncle shouldn't hit anyone, right?"
Before Lu Zhou could react, Lu Jin had already withdrawn his gaze and looked back at Madam Lu. Facing Madam Lu's obviously displeased look, he calmly continued, "Actually, to prove whether I'm lying or not, it's very simple. Just call Qin Siyan and ask him whether what I said is true."
Seeing his father's face livid after being confronted by Lu Jin for standing up for him, Lu Yi was immediately ignited when he heard Lu Jin's words: "You say that so easily. Who among us has Qin Siyan's phone number? You said that on purpose, isn't it just to hide the fact that you lied?"
Moreover, even if they really went to Qin Siyan to verify it, wouldn’t that be telling the Qin family clearly that their Lu family cared a lot about this matter!
The Lu family can't afford to lose face.
A shrill ring suddenly rang, interrupting the tense atmosphere.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Jin who was standing in the center.
Lu Yi curled the corner of his lips in disdain. He was indeed raised in the countryside and had no manners at all. He didn't even know to mute his cell phone in such an important occasion.
Especially when they saw that Lu Jin did not hang up the phone immediately, but even answered the call directly, everyone present thought that Lu Jin was really stupid.
Seeing the impatience on Mrs. Lu's face, Lu Yi couldn't help but feel excited.
Lu Jin is now courting death. Even her grandmother has run out of patience with her. Let's see how she can still be so arrogant!
"Qin Siyan, my family wants to talk to you. Is it convenient for you?" Lu Jin's words made the expressions of everyone present become quite interesting.
Old Madam Lu frowned slightly, her sharp eyes falling on Lu Jin's face.
The others were obviously skeptical of what Lu Jin had just said.
Lu Yi didn't believe it at all. In her opinion, this was just a way for Lu Jin to get away with it.
"Lu Jin, stop pretending. Do you think that if you just ask a random man to call you, the other party will be Qin Siyan?" Lu Yi curled his lips in disdain. It was funny that he wanted to deceive people with such a trick.
Lu Jin smiled slightly, put the phone down from his ear, and then reached out to press the hands-free button.
"Hello everyone, I'm Qin Siyan." Qin Siyan's cold voice came from the receiver.
