"Wanqing, weren't you going to introduce a blind date to Wantang? I happen to know a young man, and we've already made plans. Shall we go over and take a look? Even if it doesn't work out, we can still make friends."
Yu Manfan was speaking enthusiastically, completely unaware of Wen Wanqing's sudden cold gaze.
During their last meal, Wen Wanqing noticed that Yu Manfan and her daughter didn't get along with Wan Tang, but she didn't think much of the fact that the mother and daughter were keeping an eye on her husband and son respectively.
But right now.
After speaking in one breath, Yu Manfan realized something was wrong and pursed her lips.
“Wanqing, it’s not that I didn’t tell you beforehand, but Xu Yu works at the research institute and is usually very busy. I only ran into him by chance when I was buying groceries. I found out he was off today, so I rushed over and called Wantang to come and take a look.”
"If you don't like it, just let me know and I'll go back and refuse."
After speaking, Yu Manfan looked at Wen Wanqing, waiting for her answer.
Wen Wanqing looked at Su Wantang and asked, "Wantang, would you like to go take a look?"
"Mom, we have nothing else to do, so we might as well go and take a look."
Keeping Yu Manfan around would only cause trouble. It would be better to turn the tables and let Wen Wanqing see the true colors of the mother and daughter as soon as possible, so as not to leave a venomous snake lurking in the dark and get stabbed in the back later.
So the three of them left a message with Lu Zhentian and went out.
Not long after, Aunt Wang finished cooking and called everyone to eat.
With the coaxing and enticement of Yu Manfan and her daughter, Jiang Lele has been well-behaved and obedient these past two days. Lu Zhentian even thought that his education had taken effect, and he became more fond of and indulgent towards Jiang Lele.
"Grandpa Lu, you go eat first, I need to pee."
Lu Zhentian snorted, "You're such a troublemaker, hurry up."
After Lu Zhentian went to the living room, Jiang Lele poked her head out of the bathroom and, taking advantage of her small size, sneaked into Lu Huai'an's room.
He climbed onto the stool, took out a packet of white powder from his pocket, and sprinkled it into the water glass that Lu Huai'an had placed on the table.
After finishing all this, he groaned and left the room.
Just as I closed the door, a male voice sounded behind me.
What are you doing here?
Upon seeing Lu Huai'an, Jiang Lele was so frightened that she fell to the ground and burst into tears.
The crying attracted Lu Zhentian's attention. He walked over and said irritably, "Why are you yelling at me? What kind of ability is it to lose your temper with a child?"
"He's so big, what can he do?"
Turning to Jiang Lele, he smiled and said, "Lele, didn't you go to pee? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Lele buried her head between Lu Zhentian's legs, glancing fearfully at Lu Huai'an: "Uncle..."
Just as she was about to complain, she was stopped by a cold glare from Lu Huai'an.
Children are very perceptive of their emotions, and Jiang Lele instinctively felt that Lu Huai'an was someone she couldn't afford to offend right now.
Sniffling, he changed his words: "...eat."
This caused Lu Zhentian to misunderstand, and he glared at Lu Huai'an.
"With your abilities, no wonder Wan Tang looks down on you and wants to go on blind dates. If it were me, I would go too."
Lu Huai'an's face darkened even more.
"Grandpa, don't worry. When Dad comes back, I'll tell him about this and that you want to find him a stepmother."
Lu Zhentian: "!!!"
Bang! The door slammed shut, forcing Lu Zhentian to swallow the curse that was about to come out of his mouth.
On any other day, Lu Huai'an would probably have noticed signs of someone having been there as soon as he entered the house.
But now, his rationality was completely overwhelmed by the jealousy ignited by Lu Zhentian's words, "Wantang, your mom took you on a blind date. They won't be back for lunch."
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and my throat felt like it was on fire.
Lu Huai'an picked up his water glass and drank it down in one gulp.
At the same time, I made a decision in my heart.
"Xiao Li is waiting outside in his car."
"grandfather."
"Remember to drive my grandson-in-law back."
Lu Huai'an's expression, which had only calmed down slightly, suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"grandfather!"
...
A dozen minutes later, Jiang Lele, who had finished eating, suddenly spoke up.
"Grandpa Lu, Little Fatty said last night that his grandpa took him fishing. I want to go too. Can you take me?"
Lu Zhentian was also a fishing enthusiast. After retiring, he would often go fishing and play chess with a few old friends.
I haven't been able to go these past few days because I have to take Jiang Lele with me.
Hearing Jiang Lele say this, he was also a little itchy to try it, but he knew that children have little patience and can't sit still, so he gave her a heads-up.
"Really want to go? There are mosquitoes drinking your blood!"
"No..."
Jiang Lele was startled and shook her head halfway. Suddenly, she remembered the toy Yu Tingting had promised and bit her lip, feeling conflicted.
After a while, the desire for the toy took over.
"go!"
"Let's go fishing!"
Lu Zhentian noticed Jiang Lele's dishonesty, but didn't think much of it.
What kind of trouble could a five-year-old child possibly cause under his nose?
impossible.
He made a phone call, grabbed his fishing gear, and went out with Jiang Lele.
No sooner had the two left than Yu Tingting, who had been waiting at the gate of the compound, couldn't wait any longer and appeared.
Because of her relationship with Wen Wanqing, the guard had Yu Tingting register and then let her in.
Upon entering the Lu family home, Yu Tingting went straight to Lu Huai'an's room.
However, when the door was opened, the room was empty.
Aunt Wang, who had just finished cooking in the kitchen, saw Lu Huai'an's figure in front of the door, turned around, grabbed a rolling pin, and shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing at the Lu family's house?"
Yu Tingting hurriedly turned around and saw the weapon in Aunt Wang's hand; her face turned pale.
Is this treating her like a thief?
She doesn't look like a thief at all, dressed like that.
