An Wan glared at him fiercely, then ran away in anger to Old Master He's side, ready to tattle on him and get Old Master He to deal with him.
Ten minutes later, the Jiang family arrived at the Lu family villa.
Yunping had also finished preparing the dinner party, which was a huge undertaking, as she was in charge of feeding about twenty people.
She was exhausted and hot, sweating profusely, so she went back to her room to take a shower and change into a clean and pretty dress.
She also wore light makeup and perfume, because after going into the kitchen, she would have picked up some cooking fumes.
Lu Sen still prepared the bathwater.
An Wan and the six brothers, including Lu Jingxing, had become accustomed to their father's doting behavior towards his wife.
He'd be willing to do anything, not just bath water, but even foot bath water; he might even want to add foot bath and massage services on top.
There were a total of 18 people from the three families, plus Fang Xing and Han Ling, making a total of 20. Since they couldn't sit at one table, they had to eat at two separate tables.
There are nine people at each table: one for the elders and one for the younger generation.
After holding An Wan for half an hour, it was time to eat. Grandpa He had no choice but to put her down at the table next to the younger generation. He originally wanted her to sit at the table for the elders, but because Lu Jingxing, He Sichen, and the three older brothers from the Jiang family had joined them, there was no place for her.
"Grandpa, give up your seat." He Sichen stood up and picked An Wan up.
"You're a pretty obedient child, knowing to give way to your sister." Old Master He was pleased, thinking that He Sichen had given up his seat for An Wan.
As a result, he carried An Wan to the table where the younger generation sat, while Lu Chunhe was ushered to sit at the table where the elders sat.
"You brat." This brat is not cute at all.
With the Jiang family present, Old Master He couldn't scold He Sichen, so he could only watch him and An Wan eat together.
Anwan: ...Why me again?
He Sichen, that bastard!
As she tried to escape, he quietly tugged at the hem of her skirt under the table.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, sis. Do you miss me?" he said with a nonchalant smile.
He didn't even glance at An Wan, but she could feel him watching her, especially his warning look.
“Guai Guai? I haven’t seen it for many days. I only saw it when Uncle Lu moved to his new house. I haven’t seen it since.” He Yurou felt sad whenever she thought of Guai Guai.
My cat, which I'd had for two or three years, just disappeared like that.
Despite Anwan saying that Guai Guai and her cat named "Dongxi" went on a world tour for their honeymoon.
They told her they were safe, healthy, and happy, and that she shouldn't worry about them, but she was still very sad.
"Wanwan, I want to be a good girl."
"Oh? This? I'll go look for it. Maybe she'll come home in a few days, so don't worry."
An Wan shrank back into her seat, her smile like a masked, fake one.
He Sichen released her grip, knowing that his words had worked and that she would definitely not run away now.
"Wanwan, have some shrimp. You love seafood the most." Before Lu Jingxing and his six brothers could serve her food, he first put a piece of shrimp in her bowl.
They exclaimed: "Holy crap! He Sichen is really going to steal my sister away!"
Hmph! They don't have a sister themselves, so they steal theirs. That's really too much.
"Wanwan, you like to eat squid, eat this." Lu Jingxing ran over and picked up a few pieces of squid, putting them into Anwan's small bowl, which immediately took up half of the space.
"Thank you, brother."
"Steamed scallops with garlic and vermicelli are the best. Wanwan, eat a few more to nourish your body." Lu Chunhe took a steamed scallop with garlic and vermicelli and fed it directly to her.
"Mmm...delicious, thank you, Second Brother." This taste is amazing, comparable to the skills of a chef in a five-star hotel.
“This abalone and chicken soup is also good, it’s very nourishing,” Lu Jingming, who was at the same table, served An Wan a bowl of abalone and chicken soup.
"It's delicious... Thank you, Third Brother, this soup is so flavorful."
"Wanwan, you like eel, have a piece of grilled eel." Lu Jiayan was quick too, picking up a piece of grilled eel, first removing a large fish bone to make sure there were no more fish bones before letting her eat it.
"Mmm...delicious, Jiayan, you should have some too. This must have been baked by Mommy, it tastes just like hers."
An Wan could tell from one bite of the grilled eel that it was grilled by Yun Ping herself.
She had the pleasure of trying it a while ago, and even those who were initially afraid of eating eel fell in love with its flavor.
"Eat crab! This crab has so much roe, it's so delicious. Little sister, eat up!" Lu Zhili placed a large crab directly into her hand.
"Fifth Brother, how do I eat this? Aren't you going to peel it for me?" An Wan didn't really like eating crab. Steamed crab didn't taste very good. She preferred crab with a slightly spicy dipping sauce.
Seeing her pouting pitifully, Lu Zhili realized he had done something stupid.
"Okay, little sister, wait here. I'll peel the crab and give you some meat right away."
"Yes, thank you, Fifth Brother. You're so kind to me." Crabs are hard to peel. There's so little meat. Even if you're fast, it takes a minute or two to peel one. In that time, she could eat a dozen shrimp.
Lu Yanshu pushed a small plate over, his expression a little reserved.
"The crab has been peeled. Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."
"Thank you, Sixth Brother, you're so good to me." An Wan was so excited that she almost rushed over to hug him. If He Sichen hadn't tugged at her skirt, she probably would have already hugged him.
He Sichen: You clearly want to run away. Anyway, you can only sit in this chair, and you're not allowed to go anywhere.
"Yanshu, you're really good at this. You peeled a crab in just two minutes. I like to eat crab, but I don't know how to peel it. Can you help me?"
He said that on purpose to cause trouble for Lu Yanshu.
He's the one who meddles, so now we have to make an example of him.
"Your hands are useless? You want me to peel crab meat for you? Sure, as long as you turn into a girl and become my sister, I'll peel crab meat for you."
Lu Yanshu retorted expressionlessly.
He Sichen silently picked up a piece of shrimp and stuffed it into An Wan's mouth. He couldn't argue with Lu Yanshu, or she would get angry.
She didn't dare refuse him, so she could only eat one piece after another.
Lu Sen and Yun Ping sat at the table with the elders, entertaining the Jiang family. They were happy to see how well the six Lu brothers treated An Wan.
He Yurou and Jiang Wanruo were not jealous of how well the six brothers treated An Wan; on the contrary, they felt that it was only natural for the older brother to dote on his younger sister.
Jiang Wanruo, in particular, has three older brothers who have doted on and protected her since she was a child, so she knows how fortunate it is to have brothers.
Although He Yurou didn't have an older brother, she was born into a wealthy family and never had to worry about food or clothing. She even had a monthly allowance of one or two thousand yuan, and could fulfill any of her shopping desires.
They also gave An Wan a piece of meat, which made the already small bowl full of food.
Fang Xing and Han Ling, who were sitting next to each other, looked down at their empty bowls and felt a pang of pain in their hearts, as if they had been stabbed with an arrow.
An Wan is so popular; the two of them are so envious that everyone is putting food on her plate.
Being loved by so many people is such a blessing.
The dinner lasted a full two hours before it ended, and everyone was very satisfied, praising Yunping's superb culinary skills.
But in the end, everyone drank a little alcohol, their faces flushed, and they said things that were both funny and sad.
