Mrs. Lu looked at Jiang Xiaoci, and Jiang Xiaoci had no choice but to say, "Well, you don't have to be so polite."
Lu Yaozu handed the cup of water to Jiang Xiaoci, looked at her without blinking, and said eagerly: "No matter what, I was wrong about what happened before. I hope you can forgive me, Miss Jiang. This cup of tea is just a toast to you."
In front of everyone in the Lu family, Jiang Xiaoci felt a little uncomfortable. He forced a smile and said, "Forget it, let's put the past behind us. I accept your apology, but there's no need for you to offer me tea."
Lu Yaozu asked, "I sincerely apologize, Miss Jiang, but you still won't accept it? Or, do you really not want to forgive me?"
Asking this question made her seem very petty.
Jiang Xiaoci smiled politely, waved his hand gently, and said, "Sorry, I don't mean anything else. I'm just not used to drinking water poured by a stranger. After all, there are differences between men and women. Besides, in terms of status, I'm not worthy of you personally serving me tea."
Her voice was soft but firm, and her eyes revealed an unquestionable look.
With the shadow of her previous life still hanging over her, she would never accept anything Lu Yaozu handed over.
She wouldn't accept even a cup of tea!
After she said this, the Lu family didn't think much about it. After all, what the girl said was right. There is nothing wrong with keeping a distance between men and women.
At the same time, they all understood each other tacitly, and became even more satisfied with Jiang Xiaoci.
She understands the rules, knows when to advance and when to retreat, and strictly observes the distinction between men and women. No wonder she immediately rejected the marriage proposal after hearing that Yaozu was having an affair with another lesbian.
Which elder wouldn't like such a sensible and polite daughter?
No one said anything, but Lu Yaozu was still unwilling to give in: "Just a cup of tea, I sincerely apologize to you..."
Lu Zhoushan interrupted directly at this time: "If you don't want to drink, then don't drink."
When he said this, his eyes were looking at Jiang Xiaoci, his tone was gentle, with a hint of doting and indulgence.
Lu Yaozu paused, but Madam Lu had already patted him on the back and said with a smile, "As long as the intention is there! Yaozu, don't insist on it anymore. Xiao Jiang is a sensible and polite girl. She won't hold grudges about the past anymore."
Lu Yaozu had no choice but to put the cup down unwillingly.
The Lu family sat in the flower hall and chatted, and all their conversations revolved around Jiang Xiaoci. They asked her how old she was today, who else was in her family, what she did for a living, what she liked to eat, and how she got along with Lu Zhoushan.
Mrs. Lu even asked directly, when are they planning to get married?!
No matter how mentally prepared Jiang Xiaoci was, she still felt embarrassed. Fortunately, Lu Zhoushan was used to it and had already mastered the art of dealing with family members' questions. He easily brought the topic to himself, which eased her embarrassment.
The Lu family members gathered around Jiang Xiaoci to talk, and Lu Zhoushan was very protective of her. Lu Yaozu couldn't find a chance to let Jiang Xiaoci drink water, and it was difficult for him to persuade her.
In order to avoid appearing too biased, I thought that I had bought a lot of medicine anyway, so if it didn't work this time, there would be next time.
Just looking at Jiang Xiaoci, who was satisfied by the whole family, and the affectionate look between her and her uncle, made him feel uncomfortable, jealous and angry.
The man sitting next to Jiang Xiaoci should be him.
If his uncle hadn't interfered, he would have brought Jiang Xiaoci to his house long ago.
Although he liked Bai Miaomiao in his heart, it was also a face-saving thing to be able to bring a woman who was liked by the whole family to his home, so why not do it?
