Chapter 177 Family Dinner
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Zhu Suisui didn't reply, Lu Lanxu thought he was asleep, but when she turned her head, she saw him staring at her intently with too many complicated emotions in his eyes, so she asked in a gentle voice.
Hearing the question, Zhu Suisui came back to his senses immediately.
Looking at the man in front of her, she did have a lot to say and ask.
But when it reached her lips, she took it back.
There are some things that you don't need to ask too much. It's better to do more than to talk more.
In my previous life, I thought Lu Lanxu didn’t care about me enough, and I knew too much about him.
She participated in Lu Lanxu's glory, but not in his hardships.
This move out may be a good opportunity for them to get to know each other better.
Think of this.
Zhu Suisui changed the subject, "Nothing much, I just thought about what delicious food Grandpa prepared for us when we get to his place later."
This abrupt transformation makes it clear that the person is lying.
However, Lu Lanxu would not ask any more questions, so he just followed Zhu Suisui's topic and said, "They must be your favorites. After all, Grandpa loves you the most."
"Of course, who made me popular?" Zhu Suisui admitted shamelessly.
This made Lu Lanxu curl up the corners of his lips, and his voice became even gentler, "Yes, yes, my Sui Sui is naturally the most likable."
Zhu Suisui blushed.
These words coming from the serious Lu Lanxu really gave me an indescribable tingling feeling.
She ignored him.
Seeing Zhu Sui turned her face away, leaving her with a perfect profile, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was looking at the scenery outside the car window, but from her red ears, it could be seen that she was shy.
Lu Lanxu didn't say anything else, but the smile on her lips never faded.
In fact, after discovering the butterfly earrings, Zhu Suisui chose to ask her directly, which made Lu Lanxu very happy. At least she was willing to talk to her instead of sentencing him to death directly. It was worth it for her to follow Zhu Suisui to her mother's house.
Perhaps many people would think that it was irrational for him to give up an opportunity just to please his wife.
But the word "homeland" means everything.
Only when you have a home can you have a country.
There are many choices in life, and there is definitely more than one opportunity.
Lu Lanxu has made concessions too many times for the sake of the country and the family.
This time, for the sake of his own family and himself, he wanted to be less cold and only judge the benefits for himself and make the so-called best choice.
Career is important, but to him, celebrating the passing of Sui Sui is equally important.
Others do not represent him, and what others think is good is not what he thinks is good. Only Lu Lanxu has the qualification to say what is good.
At least for now.
He felt that his choice was right.
Soon, they arrived at the Lu family’s old house.
When Zhu Suisui got off the car, he remembered that this seemed to be the first time that he and Lu Lanxu went back to his grandfather's house for dinner together.
Every time in the past, I was alone.
The Lu family is a family that values unity and friendship. The old man is the backbone of the family. There is one day every week when everyone comes home to have a family meal no matter how busy they are. However, in the past, everyone would go in pairs, but I was always alone.
But there is no point in thinking about these things now, they are all things of the past.
Zhu Suisui put these thoughts aside and was about to walk in.
Unexpectedly, my hand fell into a warm palm.
She looked over with some surprise.
Lu Lanxu just walked forward holding her hand, and there seemed to be no difference. They might look the same on the outside, except that their hands were now tightly connected at the sleeves.
He was still the same person, but the warmth she felt in her palm and the man's irresistible strength made Zhu Sui feel that this man seemed to have really changed.
At least this time, he did not break his promise.
He managed to accompany her, hold her hand, and attend the Lu family's family dinner with her.
This is a good start.
The two walked inside.
Zhu Suisui just realized that today's family dinner was a little different.
Originally, I thought that only the people from the third room came to have a meal, but when I entered the yard, I found that it was very lively with laughter and joy.
Seeing that Mother Liu was there too, Zhu Suisui pulled her aside to ask about the situation.
Mother Liu said, "When I delivered the cakes, I told the old man that you were coming to dinner, just as Comrade Jiao told me. I don't know how, but the news got out. He kept calling all morning, saying that you were coming back for dinner today. The old man had no choice but to let me stay and help."
This is really strange.
Zhu Suisui and Lu Lanxu looked at each other.
Naturally, I noticed something strange inside.
Originally, the three families were just going to have a meal together, so Mr. Lu naturally wouldn't go to great lengths to call everyone and invite them back for dinner.
Wouldn't this cause jealousy among the third wife?
But the news still got out. In order to show their filial piety, the people in other rooms naturally did not want to be left behind, so they all postponed their plans for today and came to the door obediently.
Zhu Suisui was somewhat helpless, "Fortunately, I came here yesterday and brought back a lot of specialties, otherwise we would be empty-handed today, and it would be impolite."
Eating in a room by yourself is certainly different from having a reunion dinner.
Zhu Suisui saw it and found a lot of gifts placed in the corner of the living room.
Lu Lanxu's tone softened a bit, "Even if you didn't give anything, no one would say anything to you."
Hearing this.
Zhu Suisui glanced at him and naturally knew what he meant.
In the Lu family, although Lu Lanxu is young, he holds a high official position and is trained to be the person in power. Among all the brothers and sisters of similar age, Lu Lanxu is the most feared one by everyone, and no one dares to stand with him and talk about anything.
The main thing is that there is nothing to talk about. Am I supposed to talk to people about the country or politics?
Don't be kidding, most of the young people are just living a life of idleness and waiting to die.
Whenever Lu Lanxu appeared at family dinners, he would chat with people of Lu Taining's level, so even though her seniority was low, her status was not low at all.
People of uncle's level naturally wouldn't be so low in emotional intelligence as to gossip about Zhu Suisui, and those who are younger wouldn't dare to say anything in front of Lu Lanxu.
Therefore, with such a Buddha present, Zhu Suisui does not have to worry at all about this family dinner.
Of course, Zhu Suisui has never been afraid since his rebirth.
She had beaten Lu Xueke last time, and had already established an image among the younger generation of the Lu family that she was not someone who could be easily provoked. No one would dare to confront her openly.
The two of them entered the house.
It attracted a lot of enthusiastic welcome from people.
And Lu Lanxu would definitely not stay with Zhu Suisui forever. Sure enough, not long after she came in, she was called away by several uncles of the Lu family.
To this occasion.
Before meals, men usually gather in groups, and women in groups.
Lu Qingying arrived early. Jiao Shanyun was busy in the kitchen. She was bored and played with her younger brothers and sisters for a while. When she saw Zhu Suisui coming, her eyes lit up and she quickly called him over.
Just waiting for someone to sit down.
Then a voice with a smile rang out: "Sui Sui is a filial person. I heard that she brought her family to Sijiu City. If I were to say, none of the young people in our Lu family could match her in terms of mobilization."
