Chapter 25 Attending the Banquet



Just like in her previous life, as soon as Jiang Chuwei stepped into the Chen residence, a little boy rushed over.

"Mother!" Just like in his previous life, Lu Haoran tugged at Jiang Chuwei's sleeve and looked at her expectantly.

Jiang Chuwei's face turned cold, and Lu Haoran was so frightened that he took a step back.

Why is it different from what my grandmother said?

This woman is fierce!

She was nothing like the kind person my grandmother had described.

Lu Haoran was still just a three-year-old child, and he was not good at adapting to changing circumstances. He quickly hid behind Chen Yulan.

Chen Yulan quickly pushed him away: "You child, why are you getting close to strangers!"

Lu Haoran was pushed away, tears welling up in his eyes.

Did his grandmother not want him anymore?

At this moment, the first wife came up with a smile and said, "You've arrived! Come on in quickly."

After saying that, she took Lu Haoran's hand and moved closer to Jiang Chuwei.

Lu Haoran looked at Jiang Chuwei with some trepidation.

Yesterday, his grandmother came and rehearsed with him many times, saying that when he saw the Crown Prince's wife, he must make her happy and call her "Mother".

He was still unwilling when the maid pushed him over.

He has a mother, so he doesn't want to call this woman "mother."

But Grandma said she could only come home if she was called.

Children are actually very sensitive, and Lu Haoran sensed that the Crown Prince's wife did not like him.

He also disliked calling the Crown Prince's wife "Mother".

He glanced at his grandmother furtively.

Grandma didn't chase after him calling him "darling" or "baby" as usual; she didn't even glance at him today.

Lu Haoran's eyes welled up with tears of grievance.

Madam Liao scolded, "You child, why are you calling the young master's wife 'Mother'?"

Lu Haoran's tears streamed down his face.

Jiang Chuwei asked curiously, "How did your aunt know he was calling me 'Mom' as soon as he arrived? Your aunt wasn't with the child just now."

Liao was embarrassed. She couldn't very well say that she had been watching them the whole time, so she changed the subject and said, "This child is very pitiful. He misses his mother very much."

"Where did his mother go?" Jiang Chuwei asked deliberately.

"He's dead!" Liao said quickly.

“Wah…” Lu Haoran burst into tears.

"Mother isn't dead, you're lying!" Lu Haoran suddenly broke free from Liao's grasp.

He tugged at Chen Yulan's sleeve: "Grandmother! Mother isn't dead, is she? I miss Mother."

Jiang Chuwei exclaimed in surprise, "Mother, why are you asking him about whether his mother is dead or not instead of asking his aunt? It seems this child has a special connection with you!"

Chen Yulan said awkwardly, "This child must be destined for the Marquis's mansion. Just now, she was calling you 'Mother' to Wei'er! This child is really adorable."

"Isn't that right? This child has a hard life. He is the youngest son of my second son. His mother died after giving birth to him."

Lu Haoran couldn't understand what the adults were saying, so he clung tightly to Chen Yulan's side.

The two sisters-in-law tried to elicit Jiang Chuwei's sympathy by exchanging words.

Jiang Chuwei acted as if she hadn't heard.

They didn't even glance at the child.

Chen Yulan was furious, and she rushed to the Chen residence yesterday.

The purpose was to put on this act with his sister-in-law in front of Jiang Chuwei.

She taught her grandson many times, hoping that Jiang Chuwei would adopt him successfully today.

The eldest grandson of the Lu family must be registered under the name of his legal wife so that he can have a bright future.

Chen Yulan never expected that Jiang Chuwei would be so stubborn.

Madam Liao, the first wife, couldn't always be with Chen Yulan; she was quite busy today.

Lu Yanfang couldn't understand why her mother cared so much about her aunt's grandchildren.

She's going to steal the spotlight today.

Of all the guests attending the banquet at the Chen family today, these three are the highest in status.

Although Lu Yanfang's clothes were not as eye-catching as before, the young lady of the Marquis's mansion was still someone who was flattered by these people.

Lu Yanfang enjoyed this feeling.

She was impatient to be with her mother.

So she went to find the main character of today's banquet, her cousin Chen Xinyue.

Chen Xinyue didn't give Lu Yanfang a friendly look when she saw her.

This older cousin used to bully her quite a bit.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Xinyue asked unhappily.

Lu Yanfang never said anything nice.

Sure enough, Lu Yanfang looked you up and down and said, "Don't you really have any decent jewelry? This hairpin looks cheap."

Lu Yanfang was spouting nonsense, but Chen Xinyue remained silent.

She'll shut up when she gets tired of showing off.

However, today is Chen Xinyue's coming-of-age ceremony, and she doesn't want Lu Yanfang to outshine her.

The only solution is to send her away.

But Lu Yanfang clung to her like a leech.

"Aren't you going to see your little nephew?" Chen Xinyue asked.

In the past, she wouldn't have asked.

My grandmother said that this child's identity must not be revealed.

Lu Yanfang is a big mouth, and her aunt was worried that she wouldn't be able to control her tongue, so she kept it a secret from her.

But yesterday, my mother said that my aunt would take the child back today.

Well, there's no harm in telling you then; we'll find out sooner or later anyway.

Just let her be happy for a while, and stop getting in the way.

"Who are you talking about?" Lu Yanfang asked in surprise. Her brother hadn't even consummated his marriage with her sister-in-law, so where did this little nephew come from?

Chen Xinyue kindly reminded, "That's the child who keeps calling your sister-in-law 'Mom,' your aunt has been holding him."

Lu Yanfang was shocked. How come she didn't know that her older brother had another child?

"You mean my nephew, my older brother's biological child?" Lu Yanfang asked again to confirm.

"Yes, you should go quickly, that child is very cute."

Lu Yanfang was overjoyed to hear such big news.

Jiang Chuwei, you've finally met your match! I'm going to teach you a lesson today.
