Star and Gu Qichen arrived at the same time.

When they entered the room, there were only the two elders of the Lu family, Lu Changchuan, and Ye Wan in the living room of the main house.

The old housekeeper opened the curtain, and Star looked at the two elders of the Lu family at the top, without even saying "grandfather and grandmother".

Madam Lu has already stretched out her hand, "Xingxing, come quickly..."

Star just stood there holding onto the door frame in a daze.

Xingxing is what her mother calls her.

Ever since my mother died, no one has called her that anymore.

But at this moment, Star remembered the first time he returned to the Lu family.

She was only 10 years old that year.

Her biological father touched her head and said he would take her home to celebrate New Year's Eve.

But when she thought of what her mother had said, that there were hundreds of people in the Lu family in the imperial capital, she didn't dare to do it.

But after all, her last name is Lu.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, she walked into the yard holding her biological father's hand.

Twenty years ago, the two elders of the Lu family were one majestic and the other kind.

She was so frightened after just one look at Mr. Lu that she dared not look up. Then, Mrs. Lu's deliberately slowed-down voice said "stars".

Perhaps someone told her that her English name was Star.

Her eyes were red and her grandmother's eyes were tearful.

There was no pointing or talking from other people, no mention or hatred of her mother.

His words were full of pity for her.

My grandmother said, you are the daughter of the Lu family, you can do whatever you want, no one can say anything, and no one dares to say anything.

She was actually afraid at that time, but she bravely said, "I want to live outside."

The grandmother was stunned for only a moment, then nodded in agreement, scolding her biological father and asking him to have some conscience and take good care of her.

She turned her back and began to wipe away her tears.

Just for the sound of the stars, no matter how much she dislikes this home, she will come back every New Year's Day.

Thinking that the Lu family has many children and grandchildren and does not need one more, she has not contacted them since she went abroad to study.

Every time I called Lu Changchuan, I would ask about the health of my grandparents.

But Star didn't expect that her grandmother still remembered her after so many years.

"grandmother……"

Star threw herself into Madam Lu's arms with red eyes.

"Who bullied you?"

She didn't realize that Star felt guilty, she just thought her granddaughter was bullied during the Chinese New Year and that's why she felt so wronged. Madam Lu looked up at Gu Qichen who followed in, "Chenchen, did you bully my Xingxing?"

"Grandma, I didn't..."

Gu Qichen denied it.

As he met the gazes of Lu Changchuan and Ye Wan, his words stopped in his mouth.

"Grandma, I was wrong!"

Gu Qichen took a few steps forward and knelt obediently at Madam Lu's feet. "I will treat Xingxing well in the future and will never bully her!"

Old Madam Lu didn't know what was going on between the children.

She only knew that no matter if it was the wealthy families in the imperial capital or the Lu family itself, there would always be people who would criticize her behind her back because of Xingxing's background.

Those who are brave enough might even bully her in front of her.

“Chuanchuan, although you are the younger brother, you are the head of the family and a man, you have to protect your sister!”

"Okay, Grandma, I'll remember that."

"Chenchen, you are bigger than Xingxing, you have to protect her extra well, understand?"

"Grandma, I know."

“They are all good kids!”

After instructing Lu Changchuan and Gu Qichen, Madam Lu smiled and patted Star's hand, "Hurry up, it's New Year's Day, don't cry."

"Xiao Wan, take your sister Xingxing to wash her face."

Madam Lu looked at Ye Wan.

"Sister Xingxing, let's go..."

Suddenly, she felt like she had turned into a little girl of four or five years old. Ye Wan suppressed her laughter and walked forward to hold Star's hand.
