When Zhao Xian, who was chatting and laughing with several rich ladies, saw me, her expression immediately changed.
The smile on her lips suddenly disappeared. She walked up to me with a cold face and asked me in a low voice: "What are you doing here?"
Obviously, she didn't want to see me on this festive day.
I disagreed and explained with a bit of embarrassment, "I didn't want to come either. It was your son who wanted me to be there because he was afraid that outsiders would talk about you two elders."
There were many guests at the banquet, and even though Zhao Xian was dissatisfied with me, she didn't dare to get angry.
Seeing that I had nothing in my hands, he scolded me in a low voice: "You didn't even bring a birthday gift, and you came to attend the elder's birthday party like this?"
I smiled faintly and said calmly, "Your son and I haven't divorced yet! We are naturally one. I also got a share of the gift he gave me. As for what you say to outsiders, it depends on whether you want to consider the Lu family's reputation."
Zhao Xian has always been very concerned about her reputation. At Lu Jing's birthday party, I, as his daughter-in-law, did not prepare any gifts. If this gets out, it will appear that I am uneducated, but in fact it is a slap in the face of the old couple.
Outsiders will only wonder what kind of parents-in-law are so disrespected by their daughter-in-law.
Zhao Xian was choked by me and was speechless. It was not appropriate for her to argue with me in such a situation, so she could only endure it.
At this time, Lu Zhiyuan just walked out of the lounge. When he saw me, he walked towards me with a smile.
"Wife, you're here! I was worried that you wouldn't have time." Lu Zhiyuan's eyes were sincere. He was really afraid that I wouldn't come.
He knew the conflict between Zhao Xian and me, so he stood between us and asked deliberately, "Wife, what were you talking about with Mom?"
"Then you have to ask Mom!" I distanced myself from the matter with an attitude of watching a show.
Zhao Xian naturally wouldn't tell Lu Zhiyuan about her little thoughts, so she changed the subject and said, "Two more friends have come in. I'll go over and say hello."
She secretly rolled her eyes at me, and before leaving, she didn't forget to urge Lu Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan, there are guests waiting for you to entertain!"
Lu Zhiyuan looked at me intently and said to me softly, "Wife, thank you for coming."
His sudden sentimentality made me feel a little uncomfortable. I avoided his gaze awkwardly and pushed him away: "You go ahead and do your thing. I can do it myself."
Just then, a guest came in. Lu Zhiyuan whispered "wait for me" in my ear and turned around to entertain the guest.
His ambiguous tone made my heart flutter for a moment.
I looked around, and surprisingly, I didn't see Yuan Yaxin. She didn't come to Lu Jing's birthday party?
This shocked me a lot. After all, Yuan Yaxin made a high-profile appearance at Zhao Xian's birthday party, as if she wanted everyone to know that she could please Zhao Xian very much.
Until lunch started, Yuan Yaxin didn't show up, so she probably wouldn't come.
There was a special ceremony before the meal, which was to display the birthday gift that Lu Zhiyuan gave to Lu Jing.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the father and son. Lu Zhiyuan held up a gift box in a high-profile manner and opened it, which caused a burst of surprise at the scene.
"Oh my god! Isn't Mr. Lu too generous?"
"I know this pair of scissors. I heard that Mr. Lu spent over three million to buy them, and he's just going to give them to his father as a birthday present?!"
As I expected, it was the antique gold scissors I took a picture of at the cruise dinner that day.
Amidst everyone's envy, Lu Jing was deeply moved and couldn't let go of the golden scissors.
