Lu Tian didn't dare to look him in the eye. She naturally held Meng Jingdong's hand and said, "Goodbye, Dad."
"goodbye."
Father Meng waved his hand, and the driver quickly started the car and left. The two of them were about to walk back to the banquet venue. Taking advantage of the night, Lu Tian let go of his hand unnoticed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, you two are hiding here?"
A teasing voice came from the car next to them. They looked in the direction of the voice. The car window rolled down and saw a handsome man with a half-smile on his face, his eyes fixed on their hands. Lu Tian felt that the man looked familiar at first glance, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
A handsome man opened the car door and walked towards them. He was tall and slender with elegant manners. He must have been smoking in the car, as he smelled strongly of tobacco.
"Lu Tian, let me introduce him to you. He is Lu Zhengyang, your uncle's younger brother."
Lu Tian suddenly had an idea and extended her hand: "Hello, my name is Lu Tian, the same as in sika deer."
The two shook hands, touching each other lightly before separating immediately.
"Jingdong, if you have something to discuss, I'll leave first."
Meng Jingdong nodded without comment: "Go ahead and get busy."
She smiled at Lu Zhengyang, lifted her skirt and walked towards the banquet venue. Even after she had walked far away, she could still hear Lu Zhengyang asking doubtfully, "Your wife seems afraid of you?"
"No, she's a little tired from the busy banquet today."
The following voice dissipated into the wind. Lu Tian sighed and finally met the original male protagonist. Lu Zhengyang was the son born unexpectedly when the two elders of the Lu family were nearly forty years old. The original novel did not reveal the relationship between the original owner and Lu Chengyang, and naturally did not mention that Lu Zhengyang was Lu Tian's uncle.
Daddy-Long-Legs is here to protect Yu Ningxuan today. In the original story, they got drunk and made love when Yu Ningxuan was sad and desperate. Daddy-Long-Legs' old house caught fire, and his feelings for Yu Ningxuan became stronger and stronger.
She opened her phone's calendar to check the time she'd just marked when she'd traveled across time. It was about five months before the original owner was hit and killed. When she first read the novel, she'd skimmed through it, only remembering the most general plot details.
A lot of things will happen in these five months. Lu Chengyang and Old Man Gu will die one after another. Gu Yalan will have a miscarriage and Old Lady Gu will scold the original owner. Yu Ningxuan and Lu Zhengyang will be engaged. In just five months, the original owner will be in a state of panic and courting death. She will divorce Meng Jingdong, motivate the heroine to work hard, promote the relationship between the hero and heroine, deepen the male pairings' disgust for her, and finally die tragically on Valentine's Day next year.
Time is tight and the task is heavy...

It was already late at night when the guests left. The five Gu brothers went out for drinks with friends, and their uncle and aunt were also socializing. Only Tian Jing's family and the old couple were in the living room. After Gu Yalan and Yu Ningxuan came in, they smiled at Tian Jing in a flattering manner.
"Mom, let's go back first."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Old Mrs. Gu didn't want to keep her, for fear that Tian Jing would misunderstand. They were originally mother and daughter, but now they were no different from strangers. Old Mrs. Gu wanted to get closer to Tian Jing and cultivate their relationship, but seeing the disappointment on Gu Yalan's face, she couldn't bear it. Seeing that Old Man Gu didn't speak, she endured it and didn't say anything.
Gu Yalan just wanted to let Old Lady Gu see her grievances, and then she left immediately. Tian Jing took in everything, barely suppressing the anger in her heart, and said, "Dad, Mom, we have to go home too. We have things to do at the company tomorrow."
Mr. Gu hesitated to speak, but Mrs. Gu blurted out, "Why does your company have problems every day?"
After saying that, seeing that Tian Jing looked unhappy, he changed the subject and said, "I'm worried that you're too tired."
"Why is it tiring for me to run my own business?" Tian Jing didn't like the tone of Mrs. Gu. She was straightforward and not good at scheming. She had no resentment in her heart originally, but now she was inevitably upset after seeing the comparison, and her words were not so nice.
Lu Tian lowered her eyes and said nothing. Logically speaking, Tian Jing's recognition of the Gu family was a good thing that would add icing on the cake. It would help her career and it would not be difficult for her to move to a higher level. But the Gu family put Gu Yalan in her original position. Knowing her identity, they still watched someone else take over their position. No one could tolerate this. She didn't want to quarrel with the two elders of the Gu family, so she simply turned a blind eye to it.
But Mrs. Gu also wants Tian Jing to be with her, so there must be a conflict between the two. Gu Yalan, as a caring and thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket, will play a role at the right time, which will aggravate the conflict and push the mother and daughter further and further apart. In the plot, the original owner was even more indignant than Tian Jing, which concealed Tian Jing's thoughts. Now that the original owner is gone, Tian Jing's emotions are exposed.
Old Master Gu sighed: "Jingjing, don't be angry. I will compensate you for what happened just now. Daddy promises you, okay?"
He was old and so sincere, so Tian Jing certainly couldn't bear to continue being angry. The Gu family and the Yu family were relatives. If Gu Yalan didn't divorce her husband Yu Shao, the Gu family would have to take the Yu family into consideration. Besides, if they asked Old Lady Tian for compensation, she wouldn't be able to pay anything even if they squeezed her dry. After weighing all the pros and cons, the one who was wronged was actually the one who felt the most wronged.
However, knowing it in her heart is one thing, and her mother's behavior is another. Tian Jing didn't expect much maternal love in the first place, and now it is completely shattered.
"I understand, Dad, Mom. I was angry just now. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that." Tian Jing has been decisive since she was a child. Since she doesn't care about Mrs. Gu's affection, she might as well use the benefits owed to her by the Gu family to strengthen her own company. Only with strength can one have the right to speak. So what if Gu Yalan grew up in the Gu family? Sooner or later, she will step on Gu Yalan and make her look up to her!
Old Master Gu breathed a sigh of relief and took out the compensation prepared for them, including the compensation given by the Yu family on behalf of Gu Yalan and Old Lady Tian. Because they knew the relationship between Lu Tian and Meng Jingdong, they temporarily doubled Lu Tian's share.
There were real estate, shops, cash, and jewelry. Tian Jing took a quick look and asked anxiously, "Dad, there's no need to do this. I..."
"Jingjing, this is the compensation I should give you and Tiantian. You have suffered so much outside for so many years. It is your father who is sorry for you. This compensation is nothing at all. The Gu family will slowly make up for what it owes you in the future. You are the only biological daughter of the Gu family. This is your home and you are the master here!" Old Master Gu made the final decision.
"Yes, Jingjing, don't worry. Mom loves you the most. After all, you are my biological child!" Mrs. Gu said sincerely.
Tian Jing was moved and held the hands of the two elders: "Dad, Mom, I will definitely come back often to accompany you in the future. I also want to make it up to you. I haven't been able to enjoy your caress for so many years..."
"Don't cry, child. We are a family reunited now, and there is still a long way to go!" Grandpa Gu hadn't been so excited for a long time.
"Yeah, grandpa and grandma, don't get too excited, let's talk slowly." Lu Tian, who also received performance remuneration, diligently handed tissues to the three of them, and at the same time gave Tian Jing a thumbs up in his heart. Not only did he get compensation, but he also made the two elders of the Gu family feel more guilty, and invisibly enhanced family affection, killing two birds with one stone!
Meng Jingdong calmly introduced: "This is my wife."
"Oh? Congratulations! Why didn't you even tell me when President Meng was having a wedding? We're all looking forward to drinking in President Meng's wedding!" joked the middle-aged man with a big belly like a Maitreya Buddha.
"We haven't had the wedding banquet yet, but we will definitely invite Mr. Liu to the wedding."
