"This is what your grandfather gave you. Keep it."

There was a hint of calmness in the man's eyes, as if that was something that should have been given to her as a matter of course, but he just gave it to her in advance.

“Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!”

She could feel everyone's eyes on the box, from Mr. Lu's hand, and then to hers.

Ye Wan took it and opened the box.

A bronze key.

You can tell at first glance that it's quite old, and the bronze color of the key looks quaint with the passage of time.

"This is the key that can take out the seal of the Lu family's patriarch."

In the silence where one could hear a pin drop, Madam Lu said kindly, "The box with the seal of the patriarch is with Chuanchuan. Ever since the old man passed the position of patriarch to him that year, he also gave him the seal. But the key to this box has always been with the old man."

"Today, it's yours!"

The words were directed at Ye Wan, but Mr. Lu looked around with a shocked look, as if he was talking to everyone, "Changchuan has the final say on Lu family matters! But before it's finalized, you have to pass the last hurdle!"

"Xiao Wan, you and Changchuan have to be good to each other, okay?"

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Don't listen to the instigation of Old Qin next door."

!!!

The moment before, I was immersed in how I could refuse such an important gift without sounding awkward.

The next second, he was stunned by Mr. Lu's words.

She thought that Mr. Lu meant to hand over the Lu family to her and Lu Changchuan.

But in fact, the old man just wanted to use this key to lock her and Lu Changchuan together, so as to prevent her from being fooled by Old Qin, right?

Is this what she understood?

Ye Wan smiled softly, snapped the lid shut, and placed the box in Lu Changchuan's hand, "Put it in our safe!"

Our home.

Lu Changchuan nodded, his brows gentle, "Okay."

In the banquet hall, a group of people looked at Mr. Lu, then at Ye Wan and Lu Changchuan, and all the endless questions in their hearts were heavily suppressed.

Ye Wan is just a female star in the entertainment industry. What qualifications does she have? The seal of the head of the family has always been in the hands of the head of the family. There is no doubt about that.

But the key to the seal is in the hands of the mistress of the house.

How old is Ye Wan? Can she bear such a heavy responsibility? Besides, how long has she been with Lu Changchuan?

The future is full of uncertainties. Who can guarantee that Lu Changchuan will not change women next year, or even tomorrow? Isn't this a bit too much of a joke? From uncles and aunts to brothers and sisters, everyone has the same doubts in their eyes, but no one dares to speak.

The two people from the eldest house had just been asked to leave the banquet hall, or to put it bluntly, they were kicked out of the old house.

There is no guarantee that they will not be the next.

In the silence, Lu Changling spoke, "Grandfather..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was met with two piercing gazes.

Mr. Lu said coldly: Are you questioning my decision? I'm not old and confused yet! I've allowed you to be so presumptuous once, and you want to do it again?

Lu Changchuan's eyes were full of warnings: Big sister, please be careful with your words! Lu Changling: ...

It was like a firecracker that was thrown out with the fuse lit, but the expected explosion did not happen.

Following closely, it was discovered that it was a dud.

Everyone in the banquet hall: !!! "Grandma, Grandma, this is the New Year's gift that Brother Chuan and I prepared for you!"

When Lu Changchuan turned around, he saw Ye Wan holding two dark red brocade bags with the word "Fu" pattern on them, and handed them to the two elders of the Lu family, one on the left and one on the right.

The brocade bag is thin and feels like it contains a piece of paper?

When I looked up again, I saw that everyone in front of me was craning their necks to look at me.

The meaning in his eyes was clear: The old man has given you the most valuable things in the Lu family, I want to see what good things you can give me! He glanced at Ye Wan and saw that she looked calm and had no shame.

Mr. Lu opened the brocade bag.
