Carrying a large pile of things, Qian Duoduo continued towards the Lu family's old house. When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she was quite surprised to find that she was not subjected to any form of inspection or questioning. This was completely different from her last visit, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment.
Carrying the carefully prepared gifts, she slowly walked towards the courtyard. Along the way, she kept thinking about why she had come in so readily, knowing that the security level here was almost the same as that of the Guobin Mansion. But she didn't have much time to think before she saw Lu Qing and Lu Fen leading the child and walking briskly towards her.
Especially Lu Fen, the moment he saw Qian Duoduo, his face immediately lit up with an incredibly bright smile, like a blooming sunflower, and he quickly ran towards her.
"Oh my! Qian Duoduo, you've finally arrived!" Lu Fen exclaimed excitedly. Then, she naturally took the things from Qian Duoduo's hands, blinking her big eyes and asking, "Oh, Duoduo, you said you'd come, so why did you bring so much stuff?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and replied softly, "These are some mountain products that my parents specially prepared! They wanted you to try them out."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fen smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits, and she nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's wonderful! Our mountains in Northeast China are full of treasures! By the way, are there any hazel mushrooms in here? I'm so craving Aunt Jin's chicken stew with mushrooms, with a little chili pepper, tsk tsk tsk, the taste is absolutely amazing, just thinking about it makes my mouth water!" As she spoke, she exaggeratedly swallowed.
At this moment, Lu Qing also came forward, took the things from Qian Duoduo's other hand, and gently took her daughter's little hand, smiling as she said to Qian Duoduo, "Come on, let's not just stand here talking, let's go inside and sit down." So, the group walked slowly towards Lu's house, chatting and laughing.
Qian Duoduo followed Lu Qing and Lu Fen with a smile, slowly walking through the spacious and imposing gate of the Lu family home. As soon as she stepped inside, her gaze was drawn to the large number of people before her, causing her to pause slightly, wondering to herself, "So many people, could it be that we have guests?"
Seeing this, Lu Fen explained softly, "They're all family, don't be nervous." Qian Duoduo nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
However, the appearance of the three of them did not attract much attention from the people present. Most people mistakenly thought that Qian Duoduo was just a close friend of Lu Qing or Lu Fen. These people sat together, excitedly and without any restraint discussing Lu Yuan's relationship status.
Two of the older women approached Mrs. Lu, beaming, and said, "Look at Lu Yuan! He's handsome, capable, and a researcher now! With such excellent qualities, what kind of good girl wouldn't he find!"
Grandma Lu's face beamed with pride and satisfaction as she nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right! My granddaughter-in-law is quite remarkable. She comes from a good family and isn't in a hurry at all. Moreover, she's a PhD graduate, and not only that, she has patents and runs her own company and factory. She's much better than those kids who just know how to ask their families for money all day long!"
After she finished speaking, her sharp gaze swept across the faces of the two old ladies like lightning. A faint, enigmatic smile appeared on her lips, a smile that seemed to conceal some deep meaning.
Seeing this, the two old ladies gritted their teeth and exchanged a glance. One of them, wearing a dark red top, said, "Sister-in-law! This city is so big. What kind of girl can't we find in any family? Why do you have to choose this one?" After saying this, both of them looked dissatisfied and puzzled.
At this moment, Grandma Lu still had a smile on her face. She first looked down at her well-maintained hands resting on the sofa armrest, then looked up at the wrinkled, rough hands of the two old ladies opposite her, which resembled withered tree bark, before slowly saying, "This daughter-in-law was chosen by Yuanzi himself! Moreover, she once saved my husband and my lives! If it were any other girl, we certainly wouldn't agree, but as for Yuanzi's partner, my husband and I wholeheartedly approve!"
As soon as Grandma Lu finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. After all, a life-saving grace is as great as the heavens, and such kindness is not something that can be easily repaid.
At this moment, another elderly woman wearing a dark green top gently raised her hand and carefully patted the fair and smooth skin on the old lady's hand. However, when her gaze fell on her own hand, which was placed on the back of the old lady's hand, she felt a sense of inconvenience. She silently withdrew her hand, quietly lowered her head to look at her own hand, and carefully examined the age spots on it.
The old woman who had just spoken pursed her lips and said with a serious expression, "Sister-in-law, does this little girl dare to use the life-saving grace to blackmail your family?" She was still somewhat indignant as she finished speaking.
However, the old lady of the Lu family still smiled and slowly replied, "Oh dear, I told you long ago, this marriage was arranged by Yuanzi himself. You all know Yuanzi's temperament. If he's unwilling, no matter who tries to persuade him, it's all in vain! Besides, right now he has no idea that you're all gossiping about his girlfriend behind his back. Otherwise, hmph..." At this point, the old lady of the Lu family deliberately paused, a meaningful smile appearing on her face.
Hearing this, the two elderly women exchanged bewildered glances, unsure how to respond. Indeed, as Mrs. Lu had said, Lu Yuan was not someone to be trifled with. If they were truly angered, who knew what kind of torment he might inflict? Thinking of this, the two women couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
Seeing their silence, Old Mrs. Lu glanced at them sideways and continued, "Hmph, you still have the nerve to say you didn't say anything else? Let me tell you, Yuanzi will be coming home in a day or two. You'd better keep your mouths shut then, and don't upset him. Otherwise, if he gets angry and does something, I won't be responsible!" After saying that, Old Mrs. Lu turned and left, leaving the two old ladies standing there, secretly pondering how to deal with the situation.
Qian Duoduo looked at Lu Fen and said with her eyes: "You two guests are talking badly about me in front of me. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Lu Fen hadn't expected these two to say such a thing; something was wrong with them!
