Lin Wan looked at him expectantly, hoping to get his answer.
But Lu Yunzhang didn't say a word, completely ignoring her. This cold treatment made her feel very uncomfortable, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and turn away.
The moment she turned around, her face contorted; she couldn't even control her expression.
It's all Lin Xiaoxiao's fault.
If it weren't for her, it would have been Lin Wanwan who married Qin Yushen. All the care and love would have been hers.
She was also the one who became a godparent to the Chu family.
How come that bitch didn't die when she and Xu Fen pushed her against the wall?
If I were dead, I wouldn't have so many worries later on.
As Lin Wanwan entered the living room, she saw Lin Xiaoxiao following beside Grandpa Chu, talking to those respected elders without the slightest fear on her face, appearing completely at ease.
The old men looked at her with satisfaction, as if they were looking at a beloved junior.
This was a gaze Lin Wanwan had never received before.
She was jealous, insanely jealous.
"What are you doing standing here? Mom's been looking for you for ages." Lu Xue'er walked over and tugged at her arm.
Lin Wanwan snapped out of her daze. "What does Mom want with me?"
Lu Xue'er rolled her eyes. "How should I know? Go ask him yourself."
The relationship between the two sisters-in-law plummeted to a freezing point after Lin Wanwan instigated her to scheme against Qin Yushen, causing Lu Xueer to lose face and her job.
He's usually not very talkative.
Considering that today is a special day, the two could only pretend in front of outsiders.
After delivering the message, Lu Xue'er was about to leave when Lin Wanwan stopped her, "Hasn't the Qin family arrived yet?"
Lu Xue'er said impatiently, "I don't know, it's better if you don't come."
She didn't really like Qin Huaijun, and she felt embarrassed to bring him to such a big event.
In short, Qin Huaijun was not presentable.
It would be different if it were Qin Yushen...
Lu Xue'er shook her head, banishing the thoughts from her mind. As she left the living room, she glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao sitting next to Old Master Chu, a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
Lu Xueer and Qin Huaijun got engaged not long ago, and now that it's Lu's grandfather's birthday, it's impossible not to invite their in-laws.
Out of courtesy, Lu Hua still handed Qin Jinye an invitation.
Qin Jinye hesitated for several days, but finally decided to take Qin Huaijun with him, while leaving Yao Huixian at home.
Yao Huixian objected, arguing that as Lu Xueer's future mother-in-law, why couldn't she go?
But Qin Huaijun persuaded her to stay.
Yao Huixian is impatient and impulsive. Qin Huaijun didn't want her to ruin his good opportunity to make friends, so he said a lot of nice things to calm her down.
When Qin Jinye and Qin Huaijun arrived, a high-ranking official from the government also arrived, representing his elderly father.
Lu Hua chatted and laughed with him, and when he saw Qin Jinye, he only gave him a glance before leading the high-ranking official inside.
Despite this differential treatment, Qin Jinye showed no dissatisfaction and remained all smiles.
Lu Yunzhang took the initiative to greet him, "Uncle Qin".
He then looked at Qin Huaijun and nodded, which was his way of greeting him.
Qin Jinye talked with Lu Yunzhang for a while. Lu Yunzhang wasn't impatient. Anyway, no one else was here, so it was nice to chat.
"Why don't I see Xue'er?" Qin Huaijun wanted to interject but couldn't quite get a word in edgewise, so he could only pretend to be looking for Lu Xue'er.
"She's inside." Although Lu Yunzhang didn't have a good impression of his future brother-in-law, he still had to put on a show.
“Uncle Qin, let me take you inside,” Lu Yunzhang suggested.
This suggestion was exactly what Qin Jinye wanted to hear.
Stepping into the living room, the moment Qin Jinye saw the person sitting there, his legs went weak uncontrollably, even though he had prepared himself mentally.
Good heavens, any one of these old men could easily crush him.
Qin Jinye was just about to find a seat near the door when he heard Lin Xiaoxiao's voice.
"dad."
Lin Xiaoxiao?
Qin Jinye looked up in surprise and saw Lin Xiaoxiao looking at him.
Why is she here too?
And he was sitting right in the middle of that group of big shots.
Qin Huaijun also saw it. His expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal. He looked around but didn't see Lu Xue'er.
"Dad, you just arrived?" Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't surprised at all by Qin Jinye's arrival and came over to ask.
Qin Jinye nodded. "Yes, you... what brings you here too?"
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Grandpa Chu and said, "I came with Grandpa Chu."
Qin Jinye said "Oh," and then whispered, "Those old men are not simple. Be careful when you talk to them, don't offend them, or it will affect you and Yu Shen."
This eldest daughter-in-law is really something; she doesn't flinch at all among the old men.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Lin Xiaoxiao understood what he meant.
After exchanging a few words, Lin Xiaoxiao sat back down. Qin Jinye dared not approach her; he could only talk to people around his age.
However, those who are invited to the birthday banquet are not ordinary people.
Even if Qin Jinye were the mayor of Beijing, he wouldn't stand a chance against these people.
After being brushed off for the third time when he tried to talk to the person next to him, Qin Jinye gave up and sat quietly, neither looking around nor moving around.
As for Qin Huaijun, he had already left when he saw Lu Xue'er.
"Xue'er, are you free?" Qin Huaijun looked at Lu Xue'er with tender eyes, so gentle it was as if he could drown her.
