Chapter 265 What kind of hellish scene is this?
Lu Xingchen was also completely dumbfounded, his expression as if he had been struck by lightning.
What kind of ridiculous way is this to reunite relatives?
It turns out that the woman he liked was his uncle's son's girlfriend.
This is just too unbelievable!
With their own thoughts, the group arrived at the third courtyard. Lu Chuyao was standing under the eaves, feeding the koi in the fish tank in front of the hall.
Then a group of people came in all at once.
She lifted her eyelids slightly. "How did you manage to follow me all the way to the capital?"
She thought Lu Weiguo and his family wanted to persuade her to return to Hangzhou.
"Big sister, we just came here casually for a stroll. We mainly came to see my youngest son, Xiao Zheng."
Xiao Zheng, come here and greet your aunt.
Lu Mingzheng couldn't bring himself to greet Lu Chuyao. "Hello, Auntie, I'm Lu Mingzheng."
"Hey! You must be Xiao Zheng. It's been so many years. You're a military officer now? You really make the Lu family proud. Not bad, not bad."
Lu Chuyao didn't fancy any of the other members of the Lu family, but she liked Lu Mingzheng very much at first sight.
I don't know why, we just felt an instant connection.
“I was a little disappointed that I didn’t see you in Hangzhou last time, but now I’ve made up for it. Come here, Auntie will give you a big red envelope.”
Lu Chuyao happily pulled Lu Mingzheng into the house, and casually took out a large wad of US dollars from her suitcase and stuffed it into Lu Mingzheng's pocket.
"Thank you, Auntie." Lu Mingzheng was very polite in front of Lu Chuyao.
Lu Chuyao then pulled Lu Mingzheng aside to ask about his recent situation before smiling and looking back at the Lu family.
She spotted Jiang Ruzhen in the crowd at a glance and quickly waved to her.
"Xiao Jiang, what brings you here? Do you know them?"
"Yes, it's kind of fate," Jiang Ruzhen admitted, though she didn't mean it.
"Hahaha... So we know each other after all. Weiguo, you don't know this, do you? Xiao Jiang was the first young friend I met in the capital."
She's beautiful, capable, and good at making money; we just finalized a collaboration. I really like her!
"Yes, yes, we met Comrade Xiao Jiang in Hangzhou. What a coincidence!" Lu Weiguo smiled happily.
He always admired his older sister. A girl that his older sister praised was naturally one in a million.
Therefore, he was even more satisfied with Jiang Ruzhen.
Lu Minghe and the two sisters also had admiration for Jiang Ruzhen in their eyes.
Bai Jing had never gotten along well with her sister-in-law, but hearing Lu Chuyao praise Jiang Ruzhen as if she were praising her, she felt very pleased.
It felt as if I had won a round against my serious and rigid sister-in-law.
The group sat down in a circle to enjoy tea and chat.
No matter what topic Lu Chuyao and Lu Weiguo discussed, if they asked Jiang Ruzhen, she would always offer her own opinions and unique insights.
For example, Lu's Company wanted to expand its real estate business, but hesitated between Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Zhuhai, unsure which city to choose.
Jiang Ruzhen suggested that they start with Shenzhen and offered her opinions on urban development and construction.
Lu Chuyao and Lu Weiguo nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Even Bai Jing and Lu Minghe were quite shocked by Jiang Ruzhen's extensive knowledge and broad understanding.
Seeing the admiring or adoring looks in his family's eyes for Jiang Ruzhen, Lu Mingzheng felt incredibly happy, even more so than if he had received a first-class merit award himself.
Just as everyone paused their conversation and moved to the restaurant for a meal, Lu Xingchen suddenly made his move.
He was particularly attentive to Jiang Ruzhen, pulling out a stool for her, serving her rice and vegetables, and taking meticulous care of her.
This left the entire Lu family completely dumbfounded.
Bai Jing turned to look at Lu Mingzheng and saw that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, clearly he was jealous.
She felt both gratified and amused.
Lu Chuyao noticed the Lu family's confusion and offered an explanation.
"You don't know, my eldest grandson fell in love with Xiao Jiang at first sight, and then became even more enamored with her. They met in Hangzhou."
We've been in Beijing for a few days and we've actually run into each other again, and Xiao Jiang is even our neighbor! Don't you think that's fate?
"Well..."
The Lu family remained silent for a long time.
Lu Minghe raised an eyebrow, understanding everything perfectly. He leisurely looked at his younger brother.
Lu Mingzheng glared back fiercely, signaling his older brother not to just watch the show and to speak up for him!
Lu Minghe received Lu Mingzheng's signal, but shrugged to indicate that he was powerless to help.
Although the Lu family is harmonious, there are still some rules and etiquette that must be observed.
With his parents and aunt all there, how could a junior like him have the right to interrupt?
Lu Mingzheng was furious and tried to get up, but Bai Jing pressed him down.
She smiled at Lu Chuyao and said, "That's quite a coincidence. My son Xiaozheng also met Xiao Jiang in Hangzhou, and they even spent some time together."
To be honest, our family came to Beijing this time to propose marriage to the Jiang family. I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Xiaochen; we need to give way to his uncle, and there's a proper order to things.”
"Oh? Really? What a coincidence! Xiao Jiang, are you and Xiao Zheng really going to get married?"
Lu Chuyao seemed unaffected by Bai Jing's words and instead gave the choice to Jiang Ruzhen.
Although Jiang Ruzhen was grateful for Lu Chuyao's respect, she was very annoyed by Bai Jing's self-righteousness.
But she and Lu Mingzheng still have to keep up the act; they can't admit to their relationship.
Now, facing the piercing gazes of Lu Xingchen and Lu Mingzheng, she truly had no way to express her bitterness.
"I haven't accepted the Lu family's marriage proposal yet. I want to focus on my career and don't want to think about these issues for the time being."
Jiang Ruzhen forced a wry smile and replied, while Lu Chuyao blinked and smiled as well, "Oh, I see. Then our Lu Xingchen isn't in a hurry."
Your relationships as young people often change; they require time to develop. I hope you'll think carefully before making a choice so you won't regret it. Wishing you happiness in the future!
Lu Chuyao took the initiative to clink glasses with Jiang Ruzhen, demonstrating the tolerance and understanding of an elder.
The difference between the two is immediately apparent.
Bai Jing was furious at Lu Chuyao's pretentious act, but as her sister-in-law, she couldn't afford to openly confront him.
She could only raise her foot and kick Lu Weiguo, who was cowering like a quail beside her.
"Cough cough..." Lu Weiguo almost choked to death on the soup in his mouth because he wasn't paying attention.
After coughing for a while, he finally calmed down and looked at his wife with a wronged expression. Bai Jing muttered to herself, feeling disappointed in her.
"Your daughter-in-law is about to be taken away, and you still want to drink the soup?"
“Hey, honey, Xiao Jiang has her own ideas. You can’t force her to choose Xiao Zheng! Let the young people compete fairly, and let’s just leave it alone.”
"..." Bai Jing was stunned. "You're really bold. I can't admit defeat."
She turned around and glared at Lu Mingzheng, who was busy eating vegetables, and said, "You brat, aren't you head over heels in love with her? Why aren't you showing your affection? Don't come crying to me if someone else snatches her away."
"Oh." Lu Mingzheng appeared indifferent, but as Bai Jing spoke, he had already started picking fish bones from Jiang Ruzhen's bones.
The fish bones were carefully removed, and a plate of snow-white fish meat was placed in front of Jiang Ruzhen.
Jiang Ruzhen turned to thank him, and Lu Mingzheng immediately took advantage of the situation and moved closer to her.
He whispered, "I heard there's a really popular movie called 'Shanghai Bund' right now. Are you free to go see it with me later?"
Jiang Ruzhen thought for a moment and nodded, feigning modesty.
“Perfect timing, I also want to see a movie, let’s all go together.”
Lu Xingchen had been observing the words and actions of the Lu family members, and in the process, he discovered a secret.
It seems that the Lu family doesn't know that Jiang Ruzhen and Lu Mingzheng have been together for a long time. They are still trying their best to please Jiang Ruzhen and want her to agree to date Lu Mingzheng.
Oh!
It's truly a stroke of luck. No matter what Lu Mingzheng is up to, at least he knows that their relationship hasn't been made public yet.
Then he will have a chance to turn the tide.
Lu Mingzheng, we have plenty of time. Let's wait and see.
