Jiang Wanruo then remembered An Wan's words that eating the beauty pill would cause her to expel impurities, which frightened her so much that she quickly went back to her room to take a shower.
...
Lu Jingxing answered every question posed by Jiang's father with sincerity, even demonstrating insightful thinking and providing answers that were not textbook-style or rigid.
He dared to express his opinions, regardless of whether the answer was wrong or whether he would make a fool of himself, and he was not afraid of being ridiculed by Jiang's father.
In less than half an hour, Jiang's father witnessed Lu Jingxing's politeness and erudition, and admired his daughter's good judgment.
I also envy Lu Sen for having such a smart and outstanding son.
Lu Jingxing was both happy and nervous to meet Jiang's father, with whom he could get along, but he couldn't help but chat with him.
When Jiang's three older brothers saw Lu Jingxing's extensive knowledge and talent, they couldn't help but change their opinion of him. They even became interested as they listened, and sat down next to him to talk about everything from national affairs to business strategies and the philosophy of life.
The four members of the Jiang family squeezed Jiang Wanruo and her mother out, leaving the two women both angry and helpless.
Lu Sen and Yun Ping were quite happy.
The incident of Jiang Wanru being beaten yesterday was successfully resolved after the two families had lunch together at noon.
To properly entertain the Jiang family, Lu Sen and Yun Ping invited them to their home that evening.
One afternoon, accompanied by Lu Sen, Lu Jingxing, and Jiang Wanruo, the Jiang family first visited a milk tea shop. After drinking milk tea and eating double-skin milk, they went to visit a pastry shop.
Although the shop was not very big and there were no customers in the afternoon, the Jiang family members all praised the premium pastries they tasted.
Although I had eaten it a few times a month ago, it wasn't fresh enough and couldn't compare to eating freshly baked pastries, which tasted as good as those served at state banquets.
As evening approached, Jiang Wanruo accompanied her family to buy gifts, and then took them to the Lu family villa.
Seeing that the Lu family was doing quite well, Jiang's mother felt a little relieved.
She would rather die than agree to her precious daughter, whom she had raised for over a decade, marrying into an ordinary family.
Because regardless of their family circumstances, economic strength, social status, connections, cultural background, knowledge, and perspectives, they are not on the same wavelength.
Once they get married, the two families will clash, and over time, various frictions will arise, inevitably leading to trouble and a bad outcome.
The concept of "marrying someone of equal social standing" has been passed down for thousands of years and has its reasons.
Countless people have spent thousands of years verifying this truth.
Jiang's mother felt that with the current strength of the Lu family and Lu Jingxing, it was impossible for him to marry her daughter, but dating for the time being was acceptable.
But a few years later, both the Lu family and Lu Jingxing were stagnant, so don't blame her for breaking them up.
...
At 2 p.m., Yunping personally took Sister Zhang to the market to buy seafood, focusing on buying only the most expensive items.
She wanted to prepare a feast of delicacies that rivaled those in the capital to entertain the Jiang family, not wanting her family to be looked down upon because of the meager dishes.
This can be seen as a sign of respect for the Jiang family and Jiang Wanruo.
You can't just serve a table of ordinary dishes to guests, especially your future in-laws.
This is not only disrespectful, but also a loss of face and good manners for one's own family.
When you meet someone for the first time, try your best to make a good impression.
Whether the impression and feelings will remain the same in the future depends on how slowly we cultivate them.
Yunping spent the entire afternoon busy in the kitchen, doing her best even with the help of three chefs.
The dishes were seasoned according to the tastes of the capital city; the Lu family is very particular about details.
...
A vast expanse of fiery clouds, red and yellow in color, floated on the horizon, dazzlingly beautiful.
The clouds come in all shapes and sizes: galloping horses, dancing puppies, beautiful fruits... a dazzling sight.
Because the Jiang family was coming to Shuanglong County, He Yurou specifically called He Sichen and asked him to take Grandpa He to the county town in the afternoon.
Therefore, the Lu family villa was particularly lively and bustling with people tonight.
"Wanwan, Grandpa's here, come out quickly." As soon as Grandpa He arrived in the county town, he came to the Lu family's house first. He stood up straight and walked briskly into the living room of the Lu residence.
Hearing the familiar voice, An Wan, who was being forced to study by Lu Jiayan in her bedroom, jumped in fright and rushed out of the bedroom.
"Grandpa—" She missed the old rascal so much.
She ran out of the bedroom and completely forgot that Lu Jiayan was in the room.
Watching her disappearing figure, he felt a pang of hurt; she cared about too many people.
But he wasn't the only person she cared about.
Even though I've been with her almost 24 hours a day.
But he would feel very sad if she left him for even a short while.
She never belonged to herself alone.
When Lu Jiayan chased after him, he saw Grandpa He holding An Wan.
She was laughing so hard she was practically shaking, radiating light like a huge sun hanging in the sky.
"Grandpa, you've finally decided to go to the county town? Did you miss me?" She knew that it was He Yurou who had asked Grandpa He to go to the county town, not because he missed her.
"That's right, it's only been three or four days. I miss my precious granddaughter very much too."
"Hmph~ At least you have a conscience and still miss me, Grandpa. I've missed you so much."
“My dear Wanwan, Grandpa misses you too.”
The Lu family and He Sichen watched as this grandfather and grandson, who were not related by blood, put on a touching show.
Just then, He Yurou arrived at the Lu family home and saw how close An Wan was to Old Master He. She was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and glared at them.
"Old man, who is your real granddaughter? You go to the county town and don't even come home to see me first. You even hug An Wan and ask her how she is, giving her money and snacks. Outsiders would think she is your real granddaughter."
Hmph! He treats An Wan ten times better than he treats me.
