"Well, how are you going to compensate me for not participating? You can go talk to my mom, preferably with Uncle Zou present." Although Lu Tian was certain Tian Jing no longer loved Lu Chengyang, with her involvement, the two of them were bound to interact frequently. What if Zou Rui objected to this, even if it accumulated? Their relationship was already stable, so it was best to reduce unnecessary challenges.
Of course, Lu Chengyang didn't disagree. After the conversation, he urged Lu Tian to pick some things to take away: "These things are useless if they are left here without seeing the light of day. They will only be valuable if you wear them outside."
Lu Tian couldn't refuse. She didn't choose a rough stone that needed polishing and design, but instead chose a transparent jade bracelet: "I like this."
"Okay, let's go upstairs. It's time for dinner soon." Lu Chengyang didn't force her. Everything here would be left to her anyway. He could just find a designer to redesign the raw stone jewelry for her.
At dinner time, Mr. Lu came back on time. Except for Lu Ningyang and his wife, almost all the Lu family members were present. Lu Tian didn't eat much for dinner, and Mrs. Lu urged her to eat more.
"Grandma, I can't get fat. What if Meng Jingdong doesn't like me if I get fat?" Lu Tian casually pulled Meng Jingdong out to take the blame. The enthusiasm of the Lu family was really unbearable.
"Jingdong is quite profound and not so superficial." Having said that, Mrs. Lu was not sure about the young man's feelings, so she had to stop urging Lu Tian.
After dinner, the twins wanted to play games with Lu Tian, but Mr. Lu drove them away: "Your sister and I have something to say. You two game fans should not lead Tian Tian astray."
Du Zhenting protested: "No, we are good and upright young people!"
Lu Zhenzhe was not as shameless as his brother, so he dragged him away stubbornly.
"They love to play and make trouble, but they are actually very nice people. If Tiantian likes it, feel free to interact with them. If they dare to bully you, just tell grandpa." Grandpa Lu explained to his grandson.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I like both of my brothers very much." Grandpa Lu and Grandpa Gu had similar thoughts. They hoped that the younger generation would unite, but twins were indeed easier to get along with than one, two, three, four, and five. I wonder if Lu Zhenzhe still likes Yu Ningxuan, otherwise our camp will lose another one...
Her mind was full of random thoughts, but on the surface she was listening to what Mr. Lu was saying. He wanted to discuss when to introduce her to everyone.
"You are our family's child, and you must establish your reputation so that others won't look down on you. I plan to hold a small party for you, Tiantian, what do you think?" Old Master Lu was used to being arbitrary, and his tone originally sounded as if he had already made a decision, but he was afraid that Lu Tian would be unhappy, so he changed his tone to one of negotiation.
Lu Tian said obediently: "It's all fine, whatever Grandpa decides is fine."
"Also, your uncle is in love with the girl from the Yu family. Grandpa promises you that he will never let you suffer any injustice. If your uncle dares to wrong you, just come and tell me and I will teach him a lesson."
"Okay, Grandpa." Lu Tian had heard countless promises in just one day. She just hoped that these would not become flags.
Old Master Lu laughed heartily. Everyone was surprised and delighted by Lu Tian's calmness, but when they thought about the conditions Lu Chengyang had negotiated with her, they knew that she was not someone who could be easily fooled. If the Lu family did not do well and let her down, the consequences would be truly irreversible.
After dinner, Lu Tian went back upstairs to continue opening presents. She also enjoyed the feeling of opening presents. These gifts should have been selected by her two aunts together. They had different styles, and she liked most of them. She sorted the gifts into categories and picked out some that could be used in daily life and put them away so that she could wear them back to school.
She found a pair of pajamas from the closet and went to the bathroom to take a bath. She felt relaxed and comfortable when she was immersed in the water. Not long after, a phone call broke her tranquility.
It belongs to Meng Jingdong.
Lu Tian had a feeling that Meng Jingdong had been being overly gentle and attentive to her lately, as if he had some hidden agenda. Although he hadn't revealed anything, she felt like he was testing her. Had he discovered something? Her personality was so different from the original owner's, and even Tian Jing hadn't had much doubt, so he shouldn't have had any reason to doubt it. Or was Meng Jingdong setting some gentle trap to make her fall in love with him?
She thought about it carefully and felt that Boss Meng would not have the leisure time for this. A more straightforward way would be for him to come to her for negotiations. The fact that their relationship has lasted until now is a combination of interests. The marriage between the Meng and Lu families brings more energy than the cooperation between the Meng and Zou families. Although it would not cause any major turmoil in the two companies if they separated, they still had to be handled carefully to avoid any rumors that would cause bad effects.
If Meng Jingdong discovered her abnormality, he had only spent a limited amount of time with the original owner. Even if she had changed, he had no sample to compare with.
She had a cold that day and hung up Meng Jingdong's call in a huff. He didn't even react at all and even sent a text message to apologize. He was so considerate and attentive. If she were a normal girl, she would definitely be moved by a big boss who was worth hundreds of billions, calm and self-controlled, but willing to bow down to him gently, right?
"What time should I pick you up tomorrow?"
Lu Tian thought for a moment and said, "Do you have time after lunch? If not, I can drive back by myself."
Meng Jingdong chuckled: "I can, I'll call you when I get there."
"Okay." When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Lu Tian has never been afraid.
"How was it at the Lu family today? Are you not used to it?"
"There's nothing to be uncomfortable with. After all, this is my home. I have to get used to it, right?"
He laughed again, and a deep, magnetic voice came out from the receiver. Lu Tian glanced up and down at her condition, intending to make a quick decision and hang up the phone: "I'm taking off my makeup. I won't talk to you anymore."
