Everyone had long been accustomed to it. The only ones who were not used to it were Tian Jing's family. Old Master Gu originally felt that it was inappropriate, but because Lu Zhengyang was present, he couldn't say much.
After dividing the cake, the five brothers of the Gu family presented gifts. Yu Ningxuan's cheeks were red, and when she occasionally looked at Lu Zhengyang, she smiled with satisfaction and happiness.
Little Zou Fan looked over, quietly tugged at Lu Tian's sleeve, and asked softly, "Sister, should we give her a birthday present?"
He had also prepared gifts for Mrs. Gu's birthday celebration. Now, seeing everyone giving gifts to Yu Ningxuan, the child began to feel nervous.
"No need, we are here to celebrate grandma's birthday, and we don't know if anyone else has a birthday." She said with a cheerful smile.
"Oh, I see." Zou Fan ate the cake happily.
Yu Ningxuan held the gift in her hand and looked at Lu Tian's smile. She always felt that the other party was mocking her for being shameless and clinging to the Gu family. The joy of receiving the gifts turned into uneasiness. She even wanted to put the gifts away and not let anyone see them.
Gu Yi, probably for Meng Jingdong's sake, said something to comfort him: "Tiantian, when it's your birthday, your big brother will also prepare a gift for you."
"Okay, thank you, big brother." Lu Tian smiled.
Gu Wu felt that she was being sarcastic and blurted out, "It seems to me that Lu Tian doesn't care at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped by his third aunt who was sitting next to him. Gu Wu's face was gloomy but he didn't dare to refute. Lu Tian laughed lightly, like a silver bell. After she finished laughing, she said nothing and continued to eat.
It happened to be very quiet at the main table, and the chuckle spread quickly, and Mr. Gu heard it clearly. Sometimes many things don't need to be said, a gesture or a laugh can make people feel the strong irony.
Old Madam Gu frowned and warned in a loud voice: "Gu Yi, take good care of your brothers and sisters."
"Okay, grandma, don't worry." Gu Yi agreed loudly, but there was unhappiness in his eyes. They couldn't get close to Lu Tian, and Lu Tian didn't try to please them. He had a premonition that even if they recognized each other as relatives, they would gradually drift apart.
Lu Zhengyang caught sight of Lu Tian's back, then glanced at Meng Jingdong who was sitting indifferently in his seat, feeling a little angry. Why didn't he tell the Gu family? But the Meng and Lu families had been in contact for many years, and he and Yu Ningxuan were both elders. Didn't Meng Jingdong warn Lu Tian about the Lu family's status and position?
After dinner, the three sons of the Gu family who had work to do left one after another. Yu Qianhai did not stay long either. The younger generation stayed here, but there was a clear distinction between them. The five brothers of the Gu family surrounded Yu Ningxuan, while Lu Tian sat with Zou Fan and played games. Old Man Gu had just talked with Meng Jingdong and Lu Zhengyang when he came out and saw this scene. His anger, which had just subsided, rose again.
"Gu Yi, the rest of you come with me to the study."
Gu Yi sighed helplessly and took the other four people and Old Man Gu to the study. They had been prepared to be scolded since the dinner table. After all, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. After a long time, will the old man give up the idea of educating them to live in peace with Lu Tian?
On this side, Lu Zhengyang greeted Meng Jingdong and invited him and Lu Tian to sit outside.
"Is there something wrong?" Lu Tian had just finished a game and was about to get back at him, but Lu Zhengyang was serious and wasted her time.
"Ms. Lu, please don't look at your phone yet. I have something to tell you."
Lu Tian paused and turned off her phone: "If you have something to say, tell me now. After all, games are the best way to kill time."
Lu Zhengyang had never seen a sharp-tongued girl talk back to him, but he had something to discuss, so he suppressed his displeasure and cleared his throat. "Miss Lu, what happened back then is irreversible, and Xuanxuan has done nothing wrong. I hope you won't target her anymore. I can give you some compensation, okay?"
Before he finished speaking, Meng Jingdong raised his eyebrows calmly, then remained silent, waiting to hear Lu Tian's reply, and had the urge to observe three seconds of silence for Lu Zhengyang.
Lu Tian smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Lu, just consider Miss Yu's condition and give it to her accordingly."
