"Hmm?" Su Xiaoli was stunned. Seeing his unnatural expression, she thought for a moment, "Is your aunt coming back?"
"...not just her," Lu Sinian's previous cheerfulness disappeared, and a shadow covered his face.
Suddenly he let out a long breath, as if to release all the filth in his heart.
"And my parents. There's a family dinner tonight."
"Yeah." Su Xiaoli nodded sensibly.
She sensed something.
Lu Sinian - has a secret that cannot be told.
I wonder what kind of dark memories are hidden beneath the warm surface.
According to what Lu Sinian said in the car, he probably doesn't have a good relationship with his parents.
"Do you need me to 'protect' you?" She winked and smiled, then asked seriously.
Lu Sinian was stunned for a moment, his gloomy expression faded a little, and he smiled.
There was a telephone in the room. Su Xiaoli called Zhang Yun and Gu Feihan respectively to report her safety, only then did she find out that her admission letter had arrived.
"Open it and take a look. Is it that major?" Su Xiaoli was surprised and happy.
Gu Feihan said longingly across the long phone line: "We'll wait for you to come back and watch it together. I want you to open it yourself. Come back soon."
"Yeah." Su Xiaoli nodded heavily.
Finally, he received her reply, and Gu Feihan felt relieved.
Then he thought of Lu Sinian who was by her side every day. He lowered his eyes, reached out for the car keys, and strode out.
As the sky gradually darkened, at eight o'clock in the evening, the two men entered Lu's house one after another.
A Lu Jiayin whom I met during the day.
As for the other person...Su Xiaoli, who was sitting at the dining table waiting, looked over.
With big eyes, a high nose bridge, thick black hair and a graceful figure, she must have been a beauty when she was young.
Most of Lu Sinian's genes must have been inherited from her.
However, a professional plastic surgeon could tell at a glance that under the heavy makeup, her double eyelids had been adjusted and her nose and chin had also been operated on.
It seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement in plastic surgery technology in this era.
Kuang Yueli first greeted her father-in-law, Mr. Lu, and then called out to Grandma Su, "Mom."
Grandma Su took out the gift she had prepared long ago and gave it to her.
It has been more than half a month since Grandma Su completed the registration with Mr. Lu, and this is the first time she has met her "daughter-in-law".
She has heard a lot of stories from Mr. Lu these days, which are hard to describe in a few words.
Kuang Yueli lowered her eyes and accepted the gift.
Although the Lu family’s old house has a new mistress, as the mother of the future head of the Lu Group, she still has to act like a hostess.
Kuang Yueli put on a smile appropriate for social occasions and nodded slightly in thanks.
"Mom." Lu Sinian stood up and introduced, his tone indifferent, "This is Xiaoli."
In terms of seniority, Su Jianguo is 4 years younger than Lu Jiahao, so... Su Xiaoli remained calm and stood up, calling out "Auntie."
Kuang Yueli looked at her silently, smiled and nodded. It seemed that this was her father-in-law's newly recognized granddaughter, and she had also heard that she would marry her son in the future.
She was slender and graceful, wearing dark blue straight jeans, a white T-shirt and flat shoes. Her short, shiny black hair was unadorned, and she only had a little bit of clear lip balm on her lips.
A pair of eyes, clean, clear and bright.
She is a beauty.
Her temperament is different from that of Hong Kong girls, and also different from the "Northern girls" in her impression.
Although she had not fully grown yet, as soon as she stood up, her radiance illuminated the entire huge Lu residence.
It is foreseeable that if she grows taller in the future, she will definitely become a stunning beauty who will amaze Hong Kong.
It’s just that this girl has a hint of aloofness, not too cold, but also not approachable.
I don't know how the old man will arrange his will in the future. If this new granddaughter doesn't marry, will she divide the family property with Si Nian? If she doesn't marry, then she is just a newly recognized granddaughter, and she will only give a dowry when she gets married. With three or five properties to rent, she will not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of her life.
Even if she is treated as a proper lady, she can be the same as the annoying Lu Jiayin in front of her at most, with an additional 1% or 2% of the shares at most.
Kuang Yueli sat back in her seat.
It doesn’t matter what you calculate in your mind, always keep a smile on your face.
"Isn't Jiahao with you?" Mr. Lu asked in a muffled voice, with an unhappy look on his face.
Today is the first formal family dinner, and the whole family has to wait for that evil creature.
"Jiahao is still busy at the company," Kuang Yueli said calmly, adding a respectful tone, "There is a drinking party tonight, and he said he would come over after just saying hello."
Although Mr. Lu kicked Lu Jiahao out of the house, he couldn't really let him starve.
He allocated a small company under his name for his daily entertainment. At least he had a few assistants to help him look after it, so no big mistakes could be made.
Lu Jiahao still had no worries about food and clothing, he just spent money and made girlfriends, or... boyfriends.
Ever since the violent incident when Lu Sinian was 7 years old, Kuang Yueli has been accustomed to covering up the "lice" inside her house and only showing her "gorgeous clothes" over the years.
Although she didn't believe it, no one else believed it either.
No one just exposes it.
There are countless jokes and strange people in Hong Kong's upper class society.
Who doesn’t have some embarrassing things? “Let’s not wait for him, let’s eat first.” Mr. Lu said, and Zheng Bo, who was waiting on the side, immediately waved his hand, and the servants brought the dishes one after another.
Unlike when we were having dinner in Jibei, there was laughter and joy at the table, but everyone at the table was silent and didn't say a word.
Su Xiaoli didn't care too much. They just met today, and everyone would go their separate ways from now on.
Seeing that grandpa keeps picking up food for grandma, he won't let her get upset.
She concentrated on the bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in front of her.
The soup is clear in color, delicious and rich in flavor, with a lingering aroma of wine. The chef has put a lot of effort into it.
I will be able to go to Lu’s hospital and research center tomorrow. I am looking forward to it and happy.
Su Xiaoli curled her eyes.
"You like to drink. Should I ask Uncle Zheng to bring you another cup?" Lu Sinian leaned close to her and asked softly.
Su Xiaoli smiled at him and said, "No, save some space for other delicious food."
Lu Sinian also wanted to be as calm as her...
But the reality was that he became more and more worried. The later his father Lu Jiahao came, the more uneasy he felt.
Only by talking to Su Xiaoli can I feel some relief.
There were only these two little ones among the people at the table, and they would chat with each other from time to time.
It was not until dessert was served that a drunken voice came into the restaurant from the doorway, "Today is a good day. There are many new people at home...hiccups."
When Lu Sinian heard this, his whole body almost froze.
What was supposed to come finally came.
Lu Jiahao, who was already walking crookedly, was half-supported by a servant to come in.
A flushed face.
He shook off the servant's hand and sat down on an empty seat. Because they were so close, the smell of alcohol on him was suffocating, which made Su Xiaoli frown.
Su Xiaoli glanced sideways and saw that Lu Jiahao had a pair of eyes full of red veins.
He is tall and thin, and his face is actually quite good, but unfortunately it is full of the four big words "wine, sex, money and anger", without any blank space at all.
Lu Jiayin looked at his brother Lu Jiahao with disdain and sneered coldly.
