Lu Zhenzhe quickly accepted the red envelope and went to show off to his mother. As the only person in the Lu family who could get along peacefully with Lu Tian, his interaction with Lu Tian was the focus of everyone's attention.
Lu Ningyang hadn't seen Lu Tian in person for so long, and half envied and half sighed as he said, "Son, since you want to be a delivery boy, then mom will help you."
Lu Zhenzhe suddenly had a bad feeling, and then he saw Lu Ningyang continue to say: "From now on, you can feel free to give Tiantian whatever Mom wants you to give her."
"...I was just showing off and asking my uncle to pay me for running errands." Lu Zhenzhe admired his eldest uncle the most, and to please Lu Tian was equivalent to to please his eldest uncle.
"Mom gives it to me too."
Lu Zhenzhe accepted it calmly. After all, he was already famous in school, so it didn't matter who he was sending it to...

Lu Tian's cold lasted for a whole week before she recovered. As agreed with Lu Chengyang, she met with him. Meng Jingdong was also present, looking at her with scrutiny. Lu Tian looked into his eyes calmly, and everything was normal.
"Tiantian, you're here." Lu Chengyang was a little nervous. He had dressed up carefully and dressed very formally, but he was still a handsome and charming uncle.
"Let's get straight to the point." Lu Tian said directly.
"Okay." Lu Chengyang agreed.
But he didn't know where to begin. He hesitated for a long time and asked, "Tiantian, are you willing to recognize me?"
A smile appeared on Lu Tian's lips. "Whether you admit it or not, you are my biological father. This is an indisputable fact. I think you have done a paternity test a long time ago, right?"
"Yes."
"What do you want me to do if I admit you?"
"I don't dare ask you to do anything. I just want to compensate you. As long as I can do it, you can have whatever you want. I have revised the will and you are the only heir." He said sincerely.
Lu Tian remained unmoved. Enjoying anything comes at a price. She calmly asked, "I don't think we need to discuss the will for now. I have three requests. First, I can recognize the Lu family, but I want freedom of movement. I can make my own decisions about my own affairs."
"Of course there's no problem with that!" Lu Chengyang said anxiously.
"Secondly, I have no feelings for you or any of the Lu family members. It's impossible for us to become as close as family in the short term. If you want to get some father-daughter love or family happiness from me, I'm afraid it's unlikely for the time being."
It's the truth, but it's hard to hear.
Lu Chengyang knew this, but he didn't expect her to say it so bluntly. He kept smiling: "I understand, Tiantian, the feelings between people are developed through getting along with each other. I won't force it."
"Third, I don't want this incident to disturb my mother and Uncle Zou's lives."
"Okay, I won't disturb them without permission. If we need to contact them, we will discuss it in advance."
"Thank you, Dad. If you need to meet anyone, I can go when I don't have classes." Lu Tian called out his father's title easily.
Lu Chengyang stood there in a daze. After a long while, he finally responded, "You're welcome, Tiantian."
Meng Jingdong watched the whole process. While he was relieved for Lu Chengyang, he also realized how difficult Lu Tian was to deal with. Not only did she dominate the whole process, but even Lu Chengyang followed her ideas completely and did not dare to refute her at all.
Lu Tian's conditions just now should be preparations for future divorce. A marriage involving the relationship between the two families may not be easy to get rid of, but with Lu Chengyang's guarantee it will be much easier. No matter how it is handled in the future, he will have to take the blame for their relationship. After all, looking at the way his uncle is a daughter-slave, how could he blame her?
After the negotiation was over, Lu Tian smiled at Meng Jingdong. It was just like the melting of ice and snow.
"Tiantian, it's time for dinner. Let's go have a meal together?" The middleman Meng Jingdong suggested at Lu Chengyang's signal.
"Okay." Lu Tian did not refuse. She always felt that Meng Jingdong's look at her was a little strange.
On the way to the restaurant, Lu Tian got in Meng Jingdong's car, and Lu Chengyang followed in his. The two sat side by side in the back. The car was very quiet, with only the smell of perfume gradually sinking in the air. Lu Tian lowered her head to look at her phone. After a while, she kept feeling a pair of eyes scanning her. She looked up at Meng Jingdong and said, "Do you have anything to say?"
Meng Jingdong smiled slightly: "Am I behaving strangely?"
"Not bad." Lu Tian didn't want to say much to Meng Jingdong. After all, this person was Lu Chengyang's man.
"You don't want to talk to me? Have I offended you in any way?" Meng Jingdong always felt that ever since she said something mean to him after she caught a cold, Lu Tian had become less casual towards him. It was as if a layer of transparent glass had been installed between the two of them, making them feel much more unfamiliar with each other.
Lu Tian glanced at him and smiled sweetly, "No, I just think that talking to you too much will cause problems. You are an undercover agent."
Meng Jingdong laughed and stopped asking questions.
After arriving at the restaurant, the three of them entered the lobby together. Lu Tian and Meng Jingdong walked back and forth. When they entered the elevator, they suddenly met someone who spoke to her.
"Tiantian, what a coincidence, we meet again." It was Yu Qianhai, Yu Ningxuan's father.
"Hello, Uncle Yu." Lu Tian greeted him with a smile. They chatted for a few words before the elevator arrived, and then they went their separate ways after getting out of the elevator.
Yu Qianhai watched the three men walk away, puzzled as to how Lu Tian could possibly be on speaking terms with Lu Chengyang. Wasn't it rumored that he was recuperating at home after a serious illness? The look he gave Lu Tian was kind, yet revealing... affection? Even though Meng Jingdong was Lu Chengyang's nephew, Lu Chengyang's reaction was strange. He pondered their surnames. Lu Tian took her father's, and Tian was a homophone of Tian Jing's. Could she be related to Lu Chengyang?
After returning home, Yu Qianhai still felt strange about this matter and casually told Gu Yalan about it.
Gu Yalan sneered, "No matter what, Lu Tian can't be Lu Chengyang's daughter, right? It's a wonder Tian Jing could have married Lu Chengyang back then."
"I just find it strange, and her close relationship with the Lu family will hinder Xuanxuan." Yu Qianhai did not want his daughter to face too many difficulties after going to the Lu family.
Gu Yalan didn't think this was a problem. Besides, Lu Zhengyang had already proposed to Xuanxuan, and given his fondness for her, the marriage would go smoothly without her having to worry about anything else. How could a nephew and his wife be as close as a brother? If Lu Chengyang died, his estate would surely be passed down to the Lu family. Since the two daughters were already married, how much of the inheritance would they receive? And who would receive it? It was obvious who would get it.
"Why do you care so much about Tian Jing and Lu Tian? Are you still thinking that if the exchange hadn't happened, you would have married Tian Jing now?" Gu Yalan couldn't help but feel jealous when she thought of this, especially because Tian Jing was beautiful and slim, while she had a bloated waist and spots on her face.
Yu Qianhai laughed: "What are you talking about? That's simply impossible. The person I love is you."
Gu Yalan was proud but unwilling to give in. She was pregnant, so Yu Qianhai had to coax her carefully. The two of them were jealous of Tian Jing, and Lu Tian had no idea that the original plot was being reproduced.
