Lu Chun and his brothers couldn't help but feel downcast upon hearing about the sentencing of Lu Hai and the others.
They returned to the hall listlessly and sat down; even the aroma of food couldn't whet their appetite.
Then, the waiters served the dishes one after another.
The scene was peaceful and lively.
It was as if the poisoning incident involving Lu Hai had never happened.
The Lu family arrived late, and when they saw that Lu Sen's banquet was held in the largest hotel in the area, with more than two hundred guests in the hall, they finally believed that Lu Sen had really made a fortune recently and bought a big villa.
That's incredible!
He had just broken both legs two months ago, and his only house collapsed in a heavy rain, leaving him homeless and needing to be taken in by others.
However, half a month later, he opened a pastry shop. Lu Yao thought he wouldn't make much money, so he didn't pay attention to it.
Until half a month ago, when he heard from a friend that a new pastry shop called Wanwan had opened in Shuanglong County and that it had a daily turnover of more than 10,000 yuan, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
He was skeptical, so he called his third brother, Lu Miao, and after chatting for half an hour, he was finally certain that Wanwan Dim Sum Shop was indeed opened by his second brother, Lu Sen.
After a month and a half of opening the store, I estimate I've earned three to four hundred thousand yuan.
He made up an excuse that his family had no money and he wanted to buy a big house to live in, so he wanted to borrow tens of thousands of yuan from Lu Sen.
As a result, Lu Sen didn't lend a single penny, and a few days later he bought a big villa for himself.
hateful!
This second brother is getting more and more stingy and miserly.
Hu Jiao'e comforted Lu Yao gently for a few moments before letting him sit down and drink tea, at which point his anger subsided by half.
Seeing An Wan and Lu Sen's family eating the soup served by the waiter, Lu Kong revealed an evil smile, temporarily forgetting the fact that Lu Hai and the other two had not returned.
Then he saw all the guests drink a bowl of cordyceps and pork bone soup. Because of the abundance of ingredients, the soup was very fragrant and delicious.
The guests really enjoyed the soup; one sip was enough to tell that Lu Sen had spent a lot of money, otherwise the hotel wouldn't have served such good soup.
Lu Hai didn't drink the soup, pretending he didn't like it. He poured it away and then served himself a bowl of rice.
But after waiting for three minutes, he still didn't see anyone fall down.
Is it because there isn't enough time?
Lu Kong waited another five minutes, but still no one collapsed or foamed at the mouth.
Lu Hai was very disappointed by this.
Because he didn't know if the soup contained medicine, he didn't dare to drink a drop.
Now that the soup seems fine, he's starting to worry that the vegetables have been poisoned.
This made him afraid to drink the soup or eat any of the vegetables; he could only bury his head in his rice and eat it.
Lu Miao, who was standing next to him, found it strange that Lu Kong was only eating rice and not vegetables, so he picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his bowl.
"Why don't you eat meat? You love chicken the most. Look, there's a whole plate of it. You can have it all."
As she spoke, Lu Miao picked up two more pieces of chicken and gave them to Lu Kong.
"Ahhhh—"
"What are you doing? I won't eat! I won't eat! Are you trying to kill me?"
When Lu Kong saw the few pieces of chicken in the bowl, he was dumbfounded. The next second, he jumped up and screamed repeatedly.
He's like a madman.
Lu Miao was so frightened that she was stunned, her eyes wide open like copper bells.
Liu Hongmei and Lu Xiaoli, who sat at the same table, were also frightened by Lu Kong, and they all thought he had gone crazy.
This isn't the first time.
Since he didn't take the college entrance exam two months ago and didn't receive a university admission notice, he has been staying at home all day and not going out. Sometimes he goes out after dark, and he is in a daze and talks nonsense.
Some people in the village said he had something wrong with his head, that he was mentally unstable.
An Wan and the Lu family at the next table, seeing Lu Kong's reaction and hearing what he said, knew that Lu Hai had also been involved in the poisoning.
Lu Sen's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with a cold light.
He still held out hope for Lu Kong, believing that Lu Kong was different from Lu Sen and Lu Lu.
He should be more humane, moral, and legally conscious than the two siblings, after all, he has studied for twelve years.
Unexpectedly, although he did not participate in the poisoning process, he was aware of it and simply stayed behind to keep watch so as not to arouse suspicion.
Now he is watching helplessly as dozens of people related to him by blood, along with hundreds of strangers, drink what they believe to be poisoned soup, and watch them all die from poisoning.
That's so vicious!
Is his heart black?
Yunping's eyes were brimming with tears, but she forced them back down, afraid that others would see and suspect something.
She didn't mind the three siblings, Lu Hai and his sister, coming to her housewarming party, but they showed no gratitude or kindness, daring to poison the banquet.
If An Wan hadn't discovered the problem, she and her family, along with over a hundred others at the scene, would probably be dead from poisoning.
"Kill you? Eating a piece of chicken can kill you?" Lu Chunhe stood up and looked at Lu Kong provocatively.
To provoke Lu Kong, he even picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it heartily with an expression of enjoyment.
"It's so delicious! The chicken is tender and juicy, with the aroma of shiitake mushrooms, and it's rich but not greasy."
"Second brother, besides the chicken, the braised pork is also delicious, and the lion's head meatballs are also tasty. Don't be fooled by their oily appearance; they're not greasy at all."
Lu Zhili ate a large piece of braised pork, then a big lion's head meatball. His movements were natural and realistic, but not at all unsightly or disgusting.
"Lu Kong! What do you mean by this, you brat? Did I harm you? Giving you a piece of chicken is now my fault?"
“I’m your elder, and I’m already doing you a favor by taking care of you. You’re pitiful because you have no parents.”
Lu Miao slammed his chopsticks on the table, his face ashen, glaring angrily at Lu Kong.
