"Uncle, Aunt," Lu Yunqi glanced at Yu Yao, emphasizing the word "Aunt" when he said it.
"Nephew wishes you a happy marriage and many children! This toast is for you."
The phrase "May you have a son soon" carries a hidden sense of superiority and is full of malice.
Because Yu Yao is infertile, and neither is her uncle.
He glanced at the cup in Yu Yao's hand and said sarcastically, "Why isn't Auntie drinking? Does she have some kind of problem with her nephew?"
Aside from the Yu and Lu families, no one else knew about Lu Yunqi and Yu Yao's engagement.
Upon hearing Lu Yunqi's words, the surrounding guests all looked at the two of them with strange expressions.
Lu Ze looked at Lu Yunqi with anger and warning in his eyes.
He took the wine glass from Yu Yao's hand and said, "Your aunt can't drink, so I'll drink this one."
Yu Yao was surprised; how did Lu Ze know she couldn't drink alcohol?
This body is the same as her previous life.
They're the type who get drunk as soon as they drink any kind of alcohol.
Getting drunk is bad enough, but it's also easy to black out and have no idea what will happen after drinking.
My best friend said that when she's drunk, she's like a time bomb; it's unimaginable what she might do.
So she almost never drinks alcohol, and the last time she did, she drank fake alcohol and ended up transmigrating into a book.
Lu Ze finished his drink in one gulp, his cold gaze fixed on Lu Yunqi: "Yunqi, you're quitting?"
"Do it, do it."
Lu Yunqi shivered; Lu Ze's gaze was like a bucket of ice water poured over him, waking him up.
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
He couldn't suppress his anger when he saw Yu Yao smiling at another man.
He completely forgot that Yu Yao was no longer his wife.
Now, facing Lu Ze, she chickened out again.
"Uncle, I was just joking, haha!" Lu Yunqi laughed awkwardly twice, then sat down without saying a word.
Su Ya walked over and said through gritted teeth in a voice only the two of them could hear, "What's wrong with you? Behave yourself."
After saying that, he smiled insincerely and said to Mu Hehe, "He's your husband, keep an eye on him, understand?"
Mu Hehe gripped the tablecloth, not daring to show her anger, and had to put on a smiling face for Su Ya.
"Mom, I understand."
Su Ya dislikes being disobeyed, and Mu Hehe understood this well in her previous life, which is why she was able to win Su Ya's favor and successfully move into Lu Yunqi and Yu Yao's villa, enjoying endless wealth and luxury.
Without Yu Yao as a buffer, Mu Hehe became the one directly facing Su Ya's terrible temper.
But Mu Hehe had no choice but to endure it, and not only that, she also had to know how to coax him.
Mu Hehe told herself that everything was for a better future.
What's a little grievance compared to the life of a winner like Yu Yao awaits her:
She has endless wealth, a husband who earns a steady stream of money, and two successful, filial, and obedient children.
What belonged to her after Yu Yao's death in her previous life will come to her in this life ahead of time.
Yu Yao can do it, and so can she.
Compared to her, Yu Yao is destined to be a widow for life, possessing only the title of general's wife but receiving no real benefits.
Thinking about it this way, Mu Hehe felt much happier, and her gaze towards Yu Yao was filled with sympathy.
Yu Yao probably has no idea what kind of life awaits her. How pitiful!
The meal was quite harmonious from the very beginning.
Yu Yao didn't take Lu Yunqi seriously either; for her, food was the most important thing, no matter what.
This kind of person is not as worth her effort as a dish of stir-fried cured pork and mushrooms. This is the first time Yu Yao has eaten so satisfyingly since she transmigrated.
After dinner, there was another flurry of activity.
I need to call the Lu family in Guangdong Province, serve tea to the guests to thank them for their help, and there are other miscellaneous things to do.
They were busy until evening before Yu Yao and Lu Ze finally had a little time to rest.
On the way back to his room, Lu Ze suddenly stopped as he passed Lu Yunqi's room.
He said to Yu Yao, "You go back to your room first. I need to talk to Yun Qi about something."
Although she didn't know what it was about, Yu Yao nodded nonetheless.
Lu Ze watched Yu Yao enter her room, then turned and knocked on Lu Yunqi's door.
Lu Yunqi came over when he heard the knocking, and swallowed hard the moment he saw Lu Ze.
"Uncle, you were looking for me?"
Lu Ze glanced at him indifferently.
Despite having no expression, Lu Yunqi felt the air around him drop a degree, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
“Since you went to the countryside, my nephew and I haven’t practiced in a long time. We happen to have some free time today, so come out with me!”
Lu Yunqi really wanted to refuse.
He didn't want to be abused, but it seemed like it wasn't up to him to decide.
Lu Yunqi stood at the door, hesitant to leave, "Uncle... there's still something Hehe needs my help with..."
Lu Ze shouted sternly, "Lu Yunqi!"
"Here!" Lu Yunqi answered reflexively, standing up straight.
"Do you need me to repeat what I just said?"
The fact that Lu Ze could maintain the demeanor of an elder after what happened these past few days is a testament to his good upbringing.
Lu Yunqi shrank his neck. "No...no need. I...I'll tell Hehe and I'll come right away."
After saying that, he turned and went into the room, saying to Mu Hehe, "My uncle and I are going out to practice. Didn't you say you had something for me to handle? Remember to call me."
As Lu Yunqi spoke, he winked at Mu Hehe, emphasizing the word "remember" in his voice.
He gestured to her not to forget to come and rescue him later, and it would be best to call Su Ya along.
Lu Ze stood at the door, taking in Lu Yunqi's subtle actions without saying anything.
Mu Hehe didn't know whether she understood or not, but she nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Lu Yunqi followed Lu Ze downstairs with trepidation.
Looking at Lu Ze's tall and sturdy back, Lu Yunqi's palms were sweating.
I regret it immensely.
I should have known better than to provoke Yu Yao.
This woman is a jinx. My uncle has only known her for a short time, yet he's already taking his own nephew's anger out on her behalf.
Soon, the two arrived at the backyard of the guesthouse.
It was already late, and everyone at the guesthouse had gone inside; there was no one there.
Lu Ze stopped, turned around and looked at Lu Yunqi, "This is fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ze charged towards Lu Yunqi like a nimble cheetah.
Before Lu Yunqi could react, he was punched, and the pain immediately jolted him awake.
Lu Ze said in an icy tone, "Your reaction was too slow, your speed wasn't good enough. Let's try again!"
Half an hour later, Lu Ze finished stretching his hands and feet and stopped.
Lu Yunqi was panting heavily, wincing in pain, and lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.
Tears streamed down my face.
His uncle was too ruthless, deliberately hitting places that wouldn't leave a mark. He was certain that his uncle's hands were definitely stained with emotion this time.
On the other end, Mu Hehe checked her watch. It was almost time. By now, Lu Yunqi should have been beaten up pretty much by now.
Her gaze fell on the green plastic mirror on the table, and she gave the woman inside a cold smile before returning to normal, pretending to be nervous as she went to find Su Ya.
