Lu Huan didn't doubt Gu Zhendong, but she felt that Lu Sangsang was too scheming.
If she really instructed Hu Yan to do this, and Hu Yan can still face her with a smile and call her "sister" like a real sister, then such a two-faced person is truly terrifying.
When Lu Huan looked at Lu Sangsang again, only one word came to mind to describe her—a smile that hides a knife.
Gu Zhendong hadn't forgotten the look in Lu Sangsang's eyes when she looked at Lu Huan last night; it was filled with anger and jealousy.
He wasn't like Lu Huan, who didn't hold grudges over the past. Before leaving, he looked at Lu Sangsang and asked, "Did you hear the message I sent you?"
Lu Sangsang was sending messages to Chu Jun. This man was always busy lately; if he could reply to one out of ten messages, that was already considered good.
She grew increasingly afraid, afraid that she would become a second Lu Huan and be hated by Chu Jun.
Upon hearing this, Lu Sangsang paused, looked up and met Gu Zhendong's sharp eyes. Her face paled, but she quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, when did you pass on this message to me?"
Pretending to be ignorant when she knew the truth, Lu Sangsang's heart was pounding in her chest.
Ever since Hu Yan delivered those words to her, Lu Sangsang has been living in constant anxiety, worrying that Gu Zhendong might come knocking on her door at any moment.
But after a month or two, and seeing that her career hadn't been affected, she gradually calmed down.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhendong brought up this matter again today.
Her first reaction was fear, afraid that Gu Zhendong would cut off her path again. She had finally found Chu Jun and built her current career; she couldn't let it be ruined now.
Gu Zhendong curled his lips into a cold smile. She was quite bold to pretend to be confused in front of him.
"Don't think that just because you're with Chu Jun, I won't touch you!"
The reason he didn't touch Lu Sangsang wasn't because of Chu Jun or the Lu family, but because of Lu Huan.
He thought he had found a powerful backer, but in reality, the other party didn't take Chu Jun seriously at all.
After warning Lu Sangsang, Gu Zhendong walked towards Lu Huan.
While Lu Huan was busy talking to Guo Yi, she secretly glanced in Gu Zhendong's direction out of the corner of her eye.
It wasn't that I was worried Gu Zhendong would take a liking to Lu Sangsang, but rather that I was afraid he would speak too harshly to Lu Sangsang.
After getting into the car, Lu Huan asked, "What did you just say to Lu Sangsang?"
Gu Zhendong frowned in displeasure at the mention of Lu Sangsang, loosened his tie, and said, "Tell her to behave herself, otherwise Chu Jun won't be able to protect her!"
Lu Huan simply said "oh" and didn't ask any further questions.
A few days later, Lu Huan invited both families out for a meal.
At first, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, but it gradually warmed up when Guo Yi took the initiative to talk about Lu Huan's childhood.
Shen Hui missed Lu Huan's growth and was particularly interested in her childhood, and genuinely envied Guo Yi.
As a woman herself, Guo Yi also felt sorry for Shen Hui.
She thought that if she found out her daughter wasn't dead, but had been taken away by someone else, she would faint from anger.
After dinner, Shen Hui said to Lu Huan, "Your maternal grandparents also want to see you. When are you free to come back to the Shen family with me?"
Shen Hui told her parents about Lu Huan. When the Shen family learned that they had a granddaughter they had never met, they naturally wanted to see her and urged Shen Hui to meet her several times.
Lu Huan has been quite busy lately, but it's okay for her to take a day or two off.
She nodded, then glanced at Gu Zhendong out of the corner of her eye. Shen Hui understood what the girl meant. "Go back with Zhendong and discuss it properly. Just tell me the time."
Lu Huan was a little timid going to the Shen family alone, and still wanted Gu Zhendong to accompany her.
On the way back, Lu Huan told Gu Zhendong about it, and Gu Zhendong readily agreed.
Lu Huan hadn't expected him to agree so readily, and blinked, "Aren't you busy lately?"
"fine!"
She was certainly busy; no matter how important other things were, nothing could compare to her work.
The Shen family naturally wanted it to be done as soon as possible, so they chose this weekend.
Lu Huan naturally had no objections. She had asked for leave in advance and explained some work-related matters.
Two days was too short, so they set off on Thursday night.
Lu Huan and Shen Hui sat together on the plane tickets, while Gu Zhendong sat with Ming Ze.
Men have far fewer topics to discuss than women. Seeing Lu Huan and Shen Hui chatting enthusiastically, Mingze smiled awkwardly.
Now, whenever he sees Gu Zhendong, he is reminded of the time he got drunk and told the young couple to divorce. Although he doesn't remember it very well, he has heard that everyone heard him say those words.
To avoid the atmosphere becoming too quiet, Mingze decided to find a topic to ease the tension, so he asked about Gu Zhendong's recent situation.
To be honest, he used to admire Gu Zhendong quite a bit. Gu Zhendong was very capable and managed the company single-handedly. But that was just an elder's appreciation for a younger generation. Despite his appreciation, Mingze didn't really like Gu Zhendong as his son-in-law.
Gu Zhendong has been in poor health since childhood. I heard that he was issued several critical condition notices a couple of years ago. Although he was pulled back from the brink of death each time, Mingze is still worried that Gu Zhendong's health might fail again one day, leaving his daughter alone.
Mingze had just reunited with his daughter and wanted nothing more than to give her the best of everything in the world, not to mention men.
Mingze hadn't seen him for several years, and now Gu Zhendong didn't look sickly at all. He really didn't know what those people outside were saying, that he was about to die.
Mingze was very curious, but he couldn't just ask how you were feeling right away, so he made an excuse to inquire about your recent work situation.
After listening to him talk about things, I realized he was probably even busier than me, so I advised him, "Don't always be so busy with work and neglect your health, you..."
Mingze stopped halfway through his sentence, and even if he didn't say the rest, Gu Zhendong would understand what he meant.
Long ago, he had already given up hope for his life, thinking he would either not live much longer or live in constant pain, until he met Lu Huan.
She had always been a mysterious presence to him, and Gu Zhendong didn't understand why hearing her voice would stop him from feeling pain.
She seemed to have come specifically for him, and Gu Zhendong only regretted not meeting her sooner.
Mingze felt that he had gone a bit too far, so he changed his words and said, "You should spend more time with Lu Huan."
Gu Zhendong responded with a "Yes".
After that, the two ran out of things to talk about. After a moment of silence, they looked at each other and then picked up their phones to look at their phones.
Midway through, Mingze secretly glanced at Gu Zhendong out of the corner of her eye, wondering how her daughter could tolerate such a cold and aloof personality.
She secretly gave Gu Zhendong a score in her mind: his health was poor and his temperament wasn't very good either.
If the maximum score is ten, Gu Zhendong would get at most four points.
After getting off the plane, a driver from the Shen family came to pick me up.
Before, Lu Huan would always hold his hand wherever they went, but now Lu Huan obediently holds Shen Hui's hand, following him wherever he goes.
Gu Zhendong followed behind, and heard Mingze sigh, "Sure enough, daughters are closer to their mothers."
If his daughter were still a little child, he would want to hug and kiss her.
Mingze was filled with disappointment, wishing he could travel back to when Lu Huan was a child.
Along the way, Shen Hui introduced the Shen family's population to Lu Huan.
Her maternal grandparents had two children: her mother and her uncle. Her uncle also had a son and a daughter, who were about the same age as her.
"What are their names?" Lu Huan asked curiously.
"Your older sister is Shen Xian, about the same age as you, and your younger brother is Shen Fei, who is two years younger than you."
"Chen Xian and Chen Fei?"
Lu Huan was already shocked when she heard the first name, but when she heard Shen Fei's name, she realized that there was no such coincidence in the world. Shen Xian and Shen Fei, whom Shen Hui mentioned, must be the two people she knew.
Shen Hui noticed her tone suddenly rise, "What's wrong?"
Lu Huan quickly took out her phone and randomly opened a short video of Shen Fei. "Mom, is this what you mean by Shen Fei?"
"Yes, how did you get his video?" Shen Hui was extremely surprised. "You two know each other?"
Lu Huan nodded repeatedly, "We've known each other for more than half a year. He's now in the same studio as me. He's a kind of internet celebrity, and making videos is one of his jobs."
Shen Hui had only heard that Shen Fei had recently started his own small business, and she didn't know that he had become an internet celebrity, let alone that he knew Lu Huan.
When Lu Huan recounted how she met Shen Xian and Shen Fei, Shen Hui couldn't believe it.
Lu Huan barely spoke to Gu Zhendong along the way. It wasn't until just before entering the Shen family home that she became so nervous that she could hardly breathe, and she secretly tugged at Gu Zhendong's sleeve.
The man glanced at her; she only remembered him when she needed something.
Gu Zhendong wanted to get angry, but he couldn't bear to. He secretly held her hand and whispered, "You've already met my parents, so what's there to be nervous about?"
Lu Huan blushed and retorted, "How can these be compared?"
Why not?
“It’s different,” Lu Huan retorted softly.
However, upon closer inspection, it seems that he was more nervous meeting his parents.
Lu Huan took a deep breath and followed Gu Zhendong into the Shen family home.
The Shen family knew they were all there and had been waiting for them to have dinner.
A middle-aged couple greeted them as they entered. Lu Huan secretly guessed that they must be his uncle and aunt, as Shen Xian and Shen Fei resembled them.
Shen Hui introduced, "Huanhuan, come in quickly, this is your uncle and aunt."
Lu Huan greeted him obediently, holding Gu Zhendong's hands tightly with both of them.
Everyone in the Shen family knew that Lu Huan was already married, and seeing the handsome Gu Zhendong, they quickly invited the two of them in.
Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen had been waiting for a long time. They were very fond of their granddaughter when they first met her.
The two elderly people were very kind and treated Lu Huan very well, giving her a large red envelope right away.
Uncle Shen said, "Alright, everyone's here. Sit down and eat. You must be hungry after your long journey!"
After taking their seats, Lu Huan noticed that Shen Xian and Shen Fei were not there, which made her wonder why they weren't there.
Just as I was about to ask, there was a noise at the door.
Chen Xian went to pick up Chen Fei. That brat didn't even say thank you. He's so unlovable!
"Mom and Dad, we're back!"
When Shen Xian saw that there were many more shoes at the door, he knew that his aunt and their newly reunited daughter had arrived. He couldn't wait to walk towards the restaurant, wanting to see what his aunt's daughter looked like and whether she looked a lot like his aunt.
As soon as she turned the corner, she saw Shen Hui and greeted her warmly as "Auntie." Then, her gaze fell on her familiar face, and she froze for a moment.
Isn't this Lu Huan and her domineering husband?
