The two families were eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was just right when someone knocked on the Wu family's door.
"Who would come at this time?" Wu Xiangdong frowned in confusion.
Wu Chengcang snorted, "Who else could it be?"
Xia Rong glanced at Wu Jiayan and said, "Jiayan, go open the door."
Wu Jiayan frowned, "Grandma, I don't want to go."
"You have to go even if you don't want to. Even if you're not welcome, it's polite to open the door," Xia Rong instructed him. "Go open the door and send the person away. Otherwise, she'll keep knocking. What will the neighbors think if they see her?"
Wu Jiayan put down his chopsticks, stood up slowly and reluctantly, left the table to open the door, obviously very impatient.
"Who is it?" Wu Xiangdong was even more puzzled, and Su Qingyun's family was also a little curious.
"Who else could it be? The girl from the Lu family." Wu Chengcang said unhappily, "You spend so little time at home that you don't know. That girl comes to our house every day and comes to see Jiayan again and again. She's just a little girl, and your mother and I can't say anything. If that brat Lu Cheng dares to come to our house, I'll break his legs."
He and Xia Rong were both so old and elders, so it was not appropriate for them to speak harshly to a little girl. If they spoke tactfully, the girl would act as if she didn't understand, and there was really nothing they could do.
The girl from the Lu family? Wu Xiangdong paused his chopsticks and subconsciously looked at Qin Ying. He felt relieved when he saw that her expression didn't change. But why did that girl keep coming to Jiayan?
The expressions of Su Qingyun's family did not change, but their eyes moved.
Suddenly, Lu Cheng's face changed, as if he had thought of something, and asked his mother, "That girl and Jia Yan wouldn't..." He would not agree! Absolutely not agree!
"What are you thinking? Jiayan doesn't have any interest in her." Xia Rong denied it outright, "It's just that girl who has feelings for Jiayan... Oh, what a sin!"
The Wu and Qin families are old friends. When the Qin family was stabbed in the back by Lu Cheng, the Wu and Lu families also became enemies. In recent years, Lu Cheng and Wu Xiangdong have also targeted each other at work. Who would have thought that the girl from the Lu family would have set eyes on Jiayan from their family? Although the grudges of the previous generation should not be imposed on the child, Xia Rong really doesn't like that child.
"How can Lu Cheng bear to see his daughter running to our house all day long?" Wu Xiangdong didn't believe it.
"There wasn't one before, but things are different now. Aren't Lu Cheng and his wife getting a divorce? His wife has returned to her parents' home, and Lu Cheng rarely comes back now. The two of them have been deadlocked until now. The matter between the adults has not been sorted out yet, so how can they care about that girl?"
Speaking of the divorce between Lu Cheng and Chen Lizhen, people in the entire compound were still talking about it a while ago. Everyone knew that Chen Lizhen cried at home and insisted on marrying Lu Cheng. Unexpectedly, after so many years, when the children were so grown up, the two of them were actually getting a divorce. What was even more unbelievable was that the person who filed for divorce was Chen Lizhen.
All the people living in this compound are high-ranking and powerful. They all cherish their reputation and pay more attention to family harmony. No matter what the relationship between husband and wife is like, there is no real divorce. So to be honest, the Lu family's incident is the first in the entire compound.
Lu Cheng has been on a fast rise in recent years and has earned the hatred of many people. Most of the people living in this compound are old cadres who have come down from the battlefield. They act in a straightforward and righteous manner. Many people are dissatisfied with Lu Cheng's behavior. Now there are many people who can enjoy watching him and gloat behind his back.
"Let's not talk about them anymore, let's continue eating." Xia Rong didn't want the Lu family to affect their mood.
"Eat, eat."
Su Qingyun and his family of three ate their meal as usual. It was not worth getting angry or having any emotions for that kind of person. The best way was to treat him as a complete stranger, so that it would not affect them in the slightest.
At the door, Wu Jiayan opened it and saw Lu Ying.
"What are you doing here?" Wu Jiayan asked patiently.
"My grandma fried some meatballs today. I'll bring some over for you." Lu Ying was holding a food box with a smile on her face. "They're fragrant and crispy, and very tender inside. They're delicious."
"No, we're already having dinner." Wu Jiayan refused without hesitation, "Don't send me anything in the future. I don't need it, really."
Every time Lu Ying came to see him, she would bring something, dumplings, meatballs... everything. Wu Jiayan knew very well that this was just her excuse, but he said it many times and Lu Ying still did her own thing. Her good upbringing prevented Wu Jiayan from saying anything harsh, which resulted in a vicious cycle.
The smile on Lu Ying's face was a little forced. "I just wanted to send you something. There's nothing else to it. Don't think too much about it."
"My home is a mess now. My parents don't care about me much. I don't want them to get divorced, but I have no choice. You know, I'm alone at home now and don't have many friends. I can only come to you to talk." Lu Ying's eyes were red, and crystal tears hung on her eyelashes, which was really adorable.
Wu Jiayan was unmoved. "Didn't your mother ask you to go back with her to her parents' home? If you don't want them to get divorced, go back and persuade your mother."
"I'm also very busy and don't have time to listen to your complaints every day."
Lu Ying's face changed. Following her mother back to her parents' home? Impossible. Although her grandparents' home was also in this compound, only a few minutes' walk away, if she followed her mother back, the situation would be different. It would mean that she was on her mother's side in her parents' divorce, and she didn't want that.
Although her mother did not tell her why she insisted on getting a divorce, Lu Ying could vaguely guess why. However, she did not agree with her mother's idea of getting a divorce. Even if her father was wrong, it would not have come to this.
