“Cough cough cough…”
A cough broke the tranquility and ambiguity.
The two were startled by the sound, loosened their hugs and turned to look.
They found that everyone had gathered in the hall at some point, looking at them with teasing eyes.
Yan An suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, and felt her cheeks were burning red as if they were burned by fire.
She subconsciously lowered her head, avoiding looking directly into everyone's burning gazes.
At the same time, she quietly reached out her hand and pinched the soft flesh on Lu Jingzhi's waist while no one was paying attention.
Lu Jingzhi was caught off guard and gasped when he was pinched, but the habit he had developed over the years allowed him to react quickly. He reached out and grasped Yan An's slender and soft wrist reflexively.
"Jingzhi, when are you planning to go to Xuanyan Mansion? We'll all go with you!"
"That's right, we can't ignore this account! We must make them pay the price!" The second elder echoed.
This immediately attracted the response of other Lu family members. They all raised their right hands and shouted in unison:
"Yes, just overturn their nest!"
"Kill those bastards!"
"We must avenge the patriarch!"
For a moment, the crowd was outraged and the shouts shook the earth.
Lu Jingzhi, who was standing in front of everyone, took a deep breath. His originally clear eyes were now filled with endless murderous intent.
"Don't worry, everyone. I wouldn't be a gentleman if I didn't take revenge."
"But before that, I need to improve my own strength, rebuild the Lu family, and get my father's soul back. Let's set off immediately!"
After hearing Lu Jingzhi's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
At this time, the Great Elder slowly raised his head and said, "Everyone, be quiet. I have something important to announce."
The angry crowd quieted down.
Seeing this, he looked around at everyone present and solemnly announced: "From today on, Lu Jingzhi will officially become the new head of our Lu family."
"This is not only my decision, but also Big Brother's decision."
The words of the Great Elder were like a thunderclap, instantly causing an uproar in the crowd.
However, after a brief moment of surprise, all the other elders and the many Lu family members expressed their approval and support.
After all, Lu Jingzhi is not only the eldest son of the Lu family, but also the most outstanding among the younger generation.
What's more, he has a virtuous and capable wife like Yan An to help him.
It is both morally and logically appropriate for him to take on the position of head of the family.
Therefore, everyone had no objection and unanimously agreed to this appointment.
Lu Jingzhi shook his head repeatedly and said hurriedly, "Second Uncle, I just want to seize the time to practice. I am really unable to manage the complicated affairs of the Lu family."
The Great Elder stepped forward steadily, extended his broad palm and gently patted Lu Jingzhi's shoulder, "Jingzhi, don't worry."
"In fact, we had expected you to respond like this."
"Leave all the affairs of the Lu family to me."
"As for you, it's only natural that you will become the new head of our Lu family."
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on his face, "Okay."
"Second Uncle, please arrange for someone to bring all the injured here. I want to treat them."
"Okay, Patriarch." The Great Elder agreed readily, then turned around and left to make arrangements.
The bamboo forest shrouded in night looks like a quiet and mysterious ink painting.
A bright full moon hangs high in the sky, and the silver moonlight pours down through the gaps between the dense bamboo leaves like a veil, just like fine, sparkling silver sand covering the ground.
The gentle evening breeze blew slowly by, causing the bamboo leaves to rub against each other, making a rustling sound.
Occasionally, a nocturnal bird flapped its wings and flew by. The sound of its flapping wings instantly broke the brief silence, but soon disappeared into the endless night.
Lu Jingzhi's face was tense as he sat quietly alone on a stone chair in the pavilion.
Yan An was wearing a fresh and elegant green off-shoulder miniskirt, the hem of which fluttered in the wind.
A pair of slender, jade-like legs were exposed to the air without reservation.
She took small lotus steps and came behind Lu Jingzhi.
She stretched out her fair and slender hands, placed them on Lu Jingzhi's broad shoulders, and then began to knead them gently.
Lu Jingzhi was originally immersed in his own thoughts, but was brought back to reality by Yan An's gentle gesture.
He slowly turned his head, his eyes falling on Yan An's charming face, and asked softly, "Madam, have you finished shopping with them?"
After dinner today, Luo Xue and Gu Keke, who had not seen Yan An for a long time, suggested going for a walk on the street to relax their tired bodies and minds of the past few days.
After hearing the news, Lu Xiaoya also joined in. The four of them strolled around for a long time before returning.
Yan An nodded lightly, "Well, I was looking for you in the room just now and couldn't find you. I thought you must be here, so I came over."
After saying that, she walked lightly to Lu Jingzhi and then sat on his thighs.
Then, she stretched out a jade hand and gently stroked Lu Jingzhi's furrowed brows, trying to smooth them out.
"Uncle Lu will be fine."
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi forced a smile and said, "I know, I'm just feeling a bit pent up in my heart and can't let it go for the time being."
"But it's okay, it will dissipate in two days."
Yan Anxin felt pain, so she put her right arm around his neck, gently kissed his lips, and then licked them with the tip of her tongue, as if to heal the wound in his heart.
He clasped the back of Yan An's head with his hands, and the two kissed passionately and intoxicatedly.
