Guess what's behind it~
Gu Yalan knew what she was thinking, but Meng Jingdong didn’t even know Yu Ningxuan, so how could there be any other relationship between them?
"Xuanxuan, Meng Jingdong is nothing. Don't compete with Lu Tian for him. We need to be careful right now and endure a little injustice."
Yu Ningxuan nodded absentmindedly, and Gu Yalan was relieved to see she didn't want to refute her earlier schemes. Old Madam Gu had doted on her since she was a child because she was considerate. As old people grew up, they wanted their children around. Only those who were well-behaved and filial would win Old Madam Gu's favor. Besides, she hadn't done what happened back then, so the Gu family wouldn't hold her responsible. As long as she could get through this awkward period and continue interacting with the Gu family, what difference did it make whether they were biological children or not? She still had forty years of familial ties that couldn't be severed.
When the mother and daughter went to the social gathering to see Old Lady Gu, Gu Yalan naturally took Old Lady Gu's arm. Tian Jing subconsciously wanted to let go, but Old Lady Gu grabbed her hand at the right time, her eyes kind and guilty.
Tian Jing's heart softened, and she and Gu Yalan stood on either side of Old Lady Gu to see her old sisters off.
Lu Tian and Meng Jingdong stood together, their attention focused on Gu Yalan and her daughter, fearing that Tian Jing would encounter the invisible glass man Gu Yalan. If she had a miscarriage, it would be hard to explain.
"What are you worried about?" Meng Jingdong, who had been standing near her, suddenly asked.
Lu Tian remained calm and said, "Is it wrong for me to worry about my mother getting hurt?"
Meng Jingdong was obviously choked. Ever since Lu Tian caused a disturbance at the engagement ceremony of the Yu and Han families, Lu Tian seemed to have changed her personality. When she saw him, she felt guilty and self-righteous at first. After signing the agreement, the guilty feeling completely disappeared, and she was absent-minded when talking to him. Are women so changeable?
He shook his head good-naturedly and didn't ask much about her affairs.
Mr. Meng didn't stay here for long. The main reason for his visit was the relationship between Lu Tian and Meng Jingdong. Since they were relatives, it would be unreasonable not to have any contact with each other, so he had to show up and go through the motions before quietly leaving. Tian Jing couldn't get away, so Lu Tian and Meng Jingdong saw him off.
"You guys have fun by yourselves, the driver and I will go. Jingdong, take good care of Tiantian." Father Meng said kindly, with wisdom in his eyes.
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?"
