"What if Comrade Lu and I just don't develop feelings for each other?"
Su Wantang knew from the beginning that Lu Huai'an had a white moonlight (a love interest).
She wanted to leverage the Lu family's influence, but she wouldn't risk her entire life in their schemes.
This marriage was merely a stepping stone for her to get noticed by her superiors.
"How about three years? If you don't have feelings for each other, Grandpa will agree to your divorce."
"One year."
Su Zhichen only gave Su Wantang one year.
"become."
"Then you should go take photos and get your marriage certificate tomorrow! I'll let the military know about the marriage report."
"good."
"good."
The two spoke in unison.
This unspoken understanding made Lu Zhentian burst into laughter again.
"Dad, what's the good news that makes you so happy? Tell your son!"
A male voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Lu Yuanyang, Lu Zhentian's youngest son, and Lu Huai'an's biological father.
"Great news! You and Wanqing have a daughter-in-law!"
Lu Yuanyang paused for a moment.
He walked over, patted Lu Huai'an on the shoulder, and the father and son exchanged a glance, everything understood without words.
Su Wantang stood up and greeted, "Hello, Uncle Lu."
"Is this Wan Tang? She's so graceful and elegant. No wonder Dad always talks about her. He hopes she'll marry Huai'an and live a good life with him."
Su Wantang didn't specifically explain the matter of the marriage agreement, and obediently nodded.
"Um."
Knock knock knock.
A knock came at the door.
"Old Chief, Third Brother Lu, Huai'an, Tangtang, dinner is ready," Aunt Wang called from outside the door.
Lu Zhentian stood up: "Wantang, you must be hungry after your journey. Come on, Grandpa will take you to eat."
"Grandpa Lu, I'm fine."
"Still call me Grandpa Lu?" Lu Zhentian objected.
"grandfather."
"suffer."
"Wantang, this is your home, don't be shy."
"Okay, Grandpa."
The two men chatted ahead, with Lu Huai'an and his son following behind.
Upon entering the living room, the group took their seats.
Seeing Lu Huai'an sit down eight feet away from Su Wantang, Lu Zhentian hummed in dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything more.
"Have a meal."
Lu Yuanyang suddenly asked, "Dad, aren't my eldest brother and second sister coming back?"
Lu Zhentian has two sons and one daughter, with Lu Yuanyang being the third child.
Lu Yuanzhou, Lu Zhentian's eldest son, has three sons. The eldest is married, and the others are still single.
Lu Ya, Lu Zhentian's daughter, has only one beloved son and is unmarried.
*Smack*
The chopsticks made a crisp sound as they hit the edge of the bowl.
Why bring them up out of the blue?
"They can come back to this house if they want, or not!"
Lu Huai'an realized something: "So Grandpa was so angry that he fainted and went to the hospital after talking to my uncle and aunt on the phone this afternoon?"
"What?" Lu Yuanyang's worried gaze fell on Lu Zhentian. "Dad, you went to the hospital? Why didn't you tell me?"
"It's not a big deal."
"Dad!" Lu Yuanyang disagreed.
As if knowing what Lu Yuanyang was about to say, Lu Zhentian, who was not happy to listen to nagging, also got angry.
"What are you yelling about? You won't die."
“Grandpa!” Lu Huai’an frowned.
"Dad!" Lu Yuanyang said helplessly.
"Grandpa, have a piece of braised pork. It's fragrant and tender, and I guarantee you'll want more after you eat it." Su Wantang picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and put it in Lu Zhentian's bowl.
"Really? Then Grandpa must have a good taste."
The tense atmosphere between the three generations was completely dissipated with Su Wantang's skillful intervention.
The group tacitly avoided mentioning what had just happened, and Lu Zhentian's hearty laughter could be heard from time to time at the dinner table.
At the same time, at Lu Yuanzhou's home.
Zhang Juan pulled a long face and complained to her husband.
"Dad, what do you mean?"
"I won't even mention how he's always favored my third brother and sister-in-law. Why doesn't Lu Huai'an want to marry that capitalist's daughter? So he makes our son marry her? My second brother has a bright future at the research institute. If he marries someone like that, not only will he be criticized, but he'll also be stuck as a low-level employee for the rest of his life!"
"And the third son, he's only seventeen! I really don't know what Dad was thinking!"
“I have no problem with Dad wanting to repay a debt of gratitude, but he can’t treat our son like this!”
Lu Yuanzhou was also somewhat dissatisfied, but he did not show it.
"Have a meal."
"Eat, eat, eat! Your son's bright future is going to be ruined by you, his father!"
My third brother's wife is a translator at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She went abroad with her department head these past few days. My third brother is someone who listens to his father. That kid from Huai'an seems tough, but he's actually quite filial...
“This matter won’t be delayed for long. In the next few days, find an excuse not to go to the old house.”
With Lu Yuanzhou's statement, Zhang Juan felt relieved.
Not only did they enjoy their meals more, but they also had the energy to worry about other things.
"Hey, do you think Dad has looked for my second sister?"
Knowing his father as he did, Lu Yuanzhou was certain he had gone to find someone.
"When you're eating, stop worrying about other people's business."
Seeing Zhang Juan pout, Lu Yuanzhou added, "Don't be idle these days, start looking for someone for the second son..."
You mean...
"in case."
......
"Xiaoya, weren't we supposed to have dinner at the old house today?"
Lu Ya gets angry just thinking about it.
She injured her body when she gave birth to her son and can no longer have children.
Over the years, this has been my only precious child, cherished to the point of being afraid of him melting away.
"Going where? To marry that capitalist's daughter?"
"But...what about my father-in-law..."
"Don't worry about it! Dad's just throwing a tantrum and it'll pass! How could I, Lu Ya, possibly want a daughter-in-law with such a poor family background? Besides, I'm Dad's own daughter, why would he distance himself from an outsider like me?"
