The original owner was driven mad with jealousy, practically putting herself in the shoes of Tian Jing, the victim of the switch. While Tian Jing was annoyed, she didn't lose her temper outright. Instead, after the family photo, the original owner privately addressed Yu Ningxuan, publicly scolding her and even pushing the smugly, fake-goody Gu Yalan to the ground.
Gu Yalan was an adult, so a pushover wouldn't have been a big deal. The problem was that she was pregnant with her second child, a child she'd finally gotten. Gu Yalan had suffered complications from giving birth to Ning Xuan, and due to policy restrictions, she hadn't had children. But she'd actually wanted another child, and after the policy was relaxed, she'd been preparing for pregnancy. No one knew she was pregnant, not even herself.
Perhaps Gu Yalan's pregnancy wasn't a good sign to begin with, and even with the original owner's push, she was sent directly to the hospital, where she inevitably miscarried. After all, she was the Gu family's beloved daughter for over forty years. Old Master Gu, heartbroken and angry, also sent her to the hospital, where she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and became severely ill. She died soon after, and all the blame was placed on the original owner.
Ever since Lu Tian met Gu Yalan, he kept his distance from her and didn't dare to provoke her at all.
This time, for a family photo, they called Gu Yalan's family over. Lu Tian pretended not to notice. Even if she was angry, it wasn't her turn to be angry. Before Tian Jing could say anything, she secretly glanced at her. Tian Jing smiled normally, but there was still a hint of sadness in her eyes. In the original novel, the original owner was able to vent her temper freely because she was indulged by her. Everyone has selfish desires, no matter how powerful she is.
Yu Ningxuan stood with her cousins, smiling shyly as if relieved. A man in the distance saw her smile and gradually smiled as well.
After taking a group photo, everyone went their separate ways to get their meals. The birthday party was a buffet, which made it convenient for everyone to chat and communicate. Lu Tian had been hungry for a long time, but had no appetite to eat. She held a glass of juice and drank it in sips. Not long after, there was a commotion at the party. It was Meng's father who had arrived late.
Old Master Gu wasn't angry at all. After all, the Meng family was stronger than the Gu family, and it was a great honor for Meng's father to come. But should she go up and say hello? Originally, everyone had rushed to the hospital, and the banquet hall was in a mess. Who would notice that there were other guests?
Tian Jing didn't give her time to hesitate. She gave her a look from a distance. She put down the juice and was about to walk over, but she didn't expect someone to suddenly appear behind her and hold her hand.
"It's me, let's go together." Meng Jingdong appeared behind her at some point, and for the first time in his life, he showed a gentle smile.
Lu Tian gave him a gentle smile, holding up her skirt with one hand and holding his arm with the other, as she walked towards Meng's father calmly and freely. This was also the reason why she had agreed to announce the divorce by the end of next year. The Gu family would definitely know about her and Meng Jingdong's affairs, and she couldn't afford to lose face in such an occasion.
Father Meng and Old Man Gu stood together and looked at the approaching couple with kind smiles.
"What's going on?" Old Mrs. Gu murmured.
Mr. Gu patted her hands and said to his wife gently, "Tiantian and Jingdong have already obtained their marriage certificate. I am so happy!"
"Really?" Old Lady Gu was wondering how Lu Tian had managed to get Meng Jingdong without anyone noticing. She seemed quite calculating.
Lu Tian and Meng Jingdong had already walked up to them. In front of everyone, they shouted in unison, "Dad," as if they were walking hand in hand into the wedding hall to greet their father-in-law.
Father Meng nodded with great satisfaction.
They naturally understood this and would definitely not call Lu Tian without her permission, but everyone in the class knew that Lu Tian had a lot of contact information, and soon a friend request appeared on WeChat.
"Brother, you sound a bit arrogant. Haven't you passed the second year of middle school yet?" - I am Lu Zhenzhe, Lu Tian, be my woman!
