Lu Zhengyang accidentally bit his tongue, leaving a faint taste of rust in his mouth.
"Brother, is she your biological daughter? Your biological daughter?"
"I wouldn't joke about this." Lu Chengyang said calmly. Seeing how embarrassed he looked, he handed him a glass of water.
Lu Zhengyang held the water cup and took out two tissues with trembling hands to wipe the corners of his mouth. His mind was in a mess and he couldn't think straight. A face appeared in his mind. Lu Tian looked at him with a smile on her face: Uncle, do you need a quick-acting heart pill?
He shook his head. "She, should she call me...uncle?"
Du Zhenting looked at him sympathetically: "Uncle, don't you even know how to distinguish between generations? If I don't call you uncle, should I still call you uncle?"
"Oh, really?"
Lu Ningyang was confused: "Fourth Brother, why are you so surprised? That's my eldest brother's daughter."
"I know!" Lu Zhengyang slapped his forehead, gradually coming to his senses. He scanned the expressions of everyone present, silently calculating their generations in his mind. On the Gu side, Xuanxuan and Lu Tian were peers, while on the Lu side, he was Lu Tian's uncle. So how should the two families address each other? The age difference, apparently a dozen years apart, was so cute, but why did it feel a bit awkward now?
"Oh! I just remembered!" Lu Ningyang looked at Lu Zhengyang with a confused look on her face. She had forgotten that Lu Zhengyang's beloved girlfriend was the fake granddaughter of the Gu family. What a coincidence.
Mrs. Lu was confused, tears still on her face. "What else?"
Lu Ningyang was scratching her head. The old lady and the twins still didn't know the identity of Lu Zhengyang's girlfriend. She hesitated whether to tell them or not. The Gu family had an ambiguous attitude. Both daughters wanted them, which made Lu Tian and Tian Jing feel wronged. Who did the old lady know to favor?
But even if he didn't say it now, the old lady would have someone check the information later, and she would definitely know it. At that time, even if she knew it but didn't report it, she would dislike the fourth son's girlfriend even more. When Lu Ningyang was in a dilemma, Mr. Lu cleared his throat and spoke.
"The fourth son's girlfriend is the daughter of Gu family's adopted daughter, and she is of the same generation as Lu Tian." The old man looked calm and his mood was unremarkable.
Du Zhenting was originally hiding in the corner. When he heard the old man's words, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He wanted to hold back, but he had never encountered such a ridiculous coincidence. He secretly pulled his poor twin brother over and whispered in his ear: The daughter of the adopted daughter of the Gu family is called Yu Ningxuan.
Lu Zhenzhe looked at Du Zhenting in disbelief. Du Zhenting tried his best to suppress his laughter and nodded in affirmation. After knowing that his younger brother liked this girl, he specially checked her background to avoid hitting a wall again, but...
Who could have imagined that his incredibly lucky brother would fall in love with his cousin and then his future aunt-in-law? This must be the price of being fickle. Du Zhenting rubbed his handsome face, which was stiff with laughter, and tried to find a corner to continue laughing.
…
"Chengyang, tell me about her..." Old Mrs. Lu didn't know about the Gu family's affairs and was eager to know about Lu Tian's situation. After so many years, Lu Chengyang finally got married and lost his wife, and in the end he didn't even have a child. She regretted it countless times day and night. Now that she knew that a granddaughter was wandering outside, her first reaction after being surprised was to recognize the child back. The Lu family would give her the best of everything.
Lu Chengyang sighed. He knew his mother would react like this. He thought for a moment and said seriously, "Mom, I'll try my best to get Lu Tian back. She doesn't like us being too strong right now."
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say." Mrs. Lu was at a loss. She grabbed Lu Chengyang's hand and couldn't help crying: "If I hadn't interfered back then, you would be so much better off now..."
"Mom, the past is over. Tian Jing and I are not destined to be together. She is living a good life now. I don't want to disturb her life too much. That would be even more unfair to her." Lu Chengyang comforted her softly. He had no memory of the days of separation. The one who suffered the most was Tian Jing. If he could no longer protect her from the wind and rain at this time, how could he have the face to recognize Lu Tian?
Old Master Lu patted his wife's shoulder and handed her two tissues to wipe away her tears. Lu Zhengyang came back from rinsing his mouth, his face still looking very bad. He couldn't accept for the time being that the little girl who had left him speechless the day before yesterday was his niece, but the facts were before him. If his elder brother and the old master knew what he had done that day, would they beat him?
Lu Zhengyang huddled on the sofa without saying a word. Lu Qinyang sat beside him and asked, "Zhengyang, why do you look so grim?"
"No, I just bit my tongue and it hurts." After Lu Zhengyang said this, he glanced at Lu Chengyang. The other person was examining his expression. He tried to straighten his back to make himself look less guilty.
"Did you go to celebrate Old Madam Gu's birthday the day before yesterday? Did something happen?"
Lu Zhengyang shook his head subconsciously: "No, it's all harmonious."
Lu Chengyang nodded, not quite believing it. He had a general idea of the Gu family's situation. Although they would not treat Lu Tian and Tian Jing unfairly, that approach was unfair. Lu Tian was targeting Ning Xuan, and it was easy to imagine which side the Gu family would stand on when the two sides were fighting. Lu Tian was bound to be wronged.
The original atmosphere of the Lu family's dinner party was completely destroyed. Old Mrs. Lu was thinking about Lu Tian, but she had promised to listen to Lu Chengyang on this matter, so she abided by the agreement and did not dare to act recklessly.
"Xiaozhe, you are not allowed to have any other thoughts."
The whole family turned their gazes to Lu Zhenzhe. He held his head in shame and anger: "Grandma, I know I won't do it!"
Lu Ningyang suddenly remembered something: "Xiaozhe, when will you return to school?"
"...had lunch?" he asked uncertainly.
"That's perfect. It's not convenient for me to see Lu Tian, but as her aunt, I have to show my appreciation. I'm going to make some snacks and cakes now. You can send them to her dormitory."
