Lu Nian Di tried to coax her anxiously, feeling extremely worried and blaming himself for being so wrong. How could he treat his stepmother like that?
I'm so confused. Now in her mind, I must be a gangster.
"Don't cry, I'll treat you to something to eat later."
Chen Miaoyi suddenly raised her head, grabbed his hand and bit it, neither lightly nor hard. Lu Nian Di was shocked.
It was so sudden that he wasn't sure whether it was right or wrong, but his face was burning.
"Okay, I'm back."
Chen Miaoyi let go of him, and Lu Niandi withdrew his hand in panic. Neither of them spoke again.
Even when they returned home, there was a subtle and awkward atmosphere between the two of them.
Marshal Lu was extremely kind to Lu Nian Di. In addition to pampering him with food, clothing, housing and transportation, he also took him to target practice, taught him how to use a gun, and took him on horseback riding.
If the original life was the previous life, then Lu Nian Di in the previous life must have liked him as a father from the bottom of his heart, and received so much love from him.
Marshal Lu will only have this one son in his life, so he has already started training his successor and educating Lu Nian Di according to this standard.
One day, the two returned home together, only to find that there were guests at home, and one of them was their classmate Jin Yun.
"Nian Di is back, come over and say hello, this is Uncle Jin from Jincheng Bank."
Jin Yun saw Chen Miaoyi and waved at her, "Chen Miaoyi!"
Seeing this, Marshal Lu simply called them over. Lu Nian Di felt a little panicked. If this continued, wouldn't Jin Yun also know her identity? How would she cope with school in the future?
"Uncle Jin, Jin Yun."
"Oh, Marshal, your son looks so much like you!"
President Jin praised him, but Marshal Lu was full of muscle, while Lu Niandi was skinny. Now he has gained some weight and has some flesh on his face, but he looks like his mother and does not look particularly like Marshal Lu.
"Nian Di, Xiao Ba, you are classmates with President Jin's daughter. Take her to the yard to play. President Jin and I have something to discuss."
After they met, greeted each other, and exchanged a few pleasantries, Marshal Lu began to send them away, and the three had no choice but to go out to the garden.
"So you two really live together. I thought it was just something my classmates made up!"
Jin Yun's family is truly wealthy, and Chen Miaoyi has a good impression of her.
"Yeah, why are you here at the Lu family?"
Chen Miaoyi wanted to know what exactly President Jin came to discuss, but Lu Niandi just stood aside like a foil.
"I don't know either. Why would an adult tell us about something? But why does Marshal Lu call you Xiaoba? Are you the eighth child in your family? This nickname is quite nice."
I don't know whether she did it intentionally or not, but it's not obvious from her face.
"Well, I'm good at home."
Chen Miaoyi held Lu Nian Di with her backhand. This kid didn't know what to explain when he opened his mouth. The more he talked, the more mistakes he made. Jin Yun could tell at a glance that he was not a fool.
Not long after, President Jin took Jin Yun away. Before leaving, he patted Lu Niandi's shoulder heavily and praised him as a good student.
How to say it, President Jin looked at him with a very kind look.
"Nian Di, what do you think of Uncle Jin's daughter?"
After President Jin and his daughter left, Marshal Lu made no secret of his ambition and asked Lu Nian Di.
"What's going on?"
"That little girl named Jin Yun is President Jin's only daughter. From now on, everything in the Jin family will belong to her. Whoever marries her will be able to take over the Jin family's assets. We are powerful, and they are noble. Together, we are powerful and noble."
Marshal Lu had an ambition to win at all costs. If he were not so old, he would have just married her himself.
"Dad? I'm only seventeen!" Lu Niandi shouted with a slightly red face. It was unbelievable. Why was it like this in the city? In the countryside, it was normal for a boy of his age to get married.
But isn’t the city much more open-minded?
He came to the city and saw a lot of new things. He didn't expect that people in the city get married so early?
"Hey, I'm not asking you to get married right now. Get engaged first and then wait two years before getting married.
Nian Di, you are my son. As long as the power is in our hands, no one will force you to marry in the future."
What he meant was to empty the Jin family and use the engagement to gain benefits for himself. When the Jin family could no longer compete with his own family, who would care whether he got married or not?
"Dad, I don't want to get engaged to her either." Lu Niandi said sullenly. He already had someone in his heart.
"Don't refuse yet. Try to get in touch with him. Dad's family fortune will be yours in the future. You will take over sooner or later. When you do, you will know that raising an army is not an easy task."
Are they all mine? Then are your concubines also mine? Can I take them over too?
This strange thought arose in Lu Nian Di's mind, and then he was scared by himself. Why did he think so?
Many people were paying attention to the actions of the powerful and wealthy, and many people were also watching the interactions between the Jin and Lu families.
Most of the students in the class come from wealthy families and are also one of the family's spies.
"Lu Nian Di, I heard you're getting engaged to Jin Yun? Then you two are in the same class, so you'll get together in the future."
A nonchalant male classmate came over and asked curiously, both to find out the truth and to be on guard.
"No."
Lu Nian Di looked at Chen Miaoyi and saw that her drawing pencil was broken on the paper. He suddenly felt a strange and astringent feeling in his heart.
The male classmate looked between the two in disbelief, "Jin Yun, is this true? If it is, I will prepare a big gift for you!"
"Who knows? We can't say for sure about these things." Jin Yun did not deny, nor did she confirm, leaving others to guess.
"Xiao Ba, don't you think so?"
But she changed the subject and asked Chen Miaoyi.
"Xiao Ba? Is that your nickname? Chen Miaoyi, you have eight brothers and sisters in your family!"
The classmates asked exaggeratedly, saying that most of them had several brothers and sisters in their families, but not too many in the open, and illegitimate children were not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with them.
"What's wrong?" Chen Miaoyi asked back. This Jin Yun was quite interesting. She suddenly said this, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.
"I haven't seen your other brothers and sisters anywhere. What's your family background? I haven't heard that the Lu family has such relatives."
The classmate wondered, pretending to be curious but really trying to find out. These people may appear to be good-for-nothings on the surface, but who knows what they are like behind the scenes?
Lu Nian Di didn't like Jin Yun a little bit. She deliberately called Chen Miaoyi Xiao Ba. People with ulterior motives would inevitably think too much about it, but they didn't expect that Chen Miaoyi's identity would be exposed so quickly, and in such an occasion.
In the autumn, the Lu and Jin families seemed to be planning to join forces.
