Now that both Lu Jingzhi and Fu Yahui were standing on Jiang Yuning’s side and speaking on her behalf, Li Shutong was naturally unhappy. However, she had to silently endure it as not to jeopardize Lu Zongye’s wedding.

“If that is the case, then it would be better to set another date for the elders to sit down and discuss the wedding. We will just treat tonight as a family making time to sit down and catch up with one another,” Li Shutong said as she looked at Fu Yahui.

“That is fine with me,” Fu Yahui replied. She had not expected that Lu Zongye would have no position in the family at all.

Jiang Yuning was happily enjoying her dinner as the rest of them spoke. Although everyone was targeting her and making life difficult for her, she was still happy because someone was taking care of her and looking out for her.

After she had finished her dinner, Jiang Yuning secretly texted Lu Jingzhi under the table. “Second brother, I want to go home soon.”

Lu Jingzhi’s cell phone vibrated and he stared at the text message with a straight face as he typed out his reply to Jiang Yuning’s text message. “Wait for me. I will go back with you.”

“!!!”

He wanted to go back with her?

But how was he going to explain it to them?

Jiang Yuning coughed a little, but then decided that she should not worry about it. After all, this was second brother. He would know exactly what to do.

As everyone was about to finish their dinner, Huo Yuxi suddenly turned around and whispered quietly to Lu Zongye, “I am feeling a little hungry.”

“I will bring you out to eat.” After that, Lu Zongye put down his cutlery and then said to Li Shutong, “Mom, Yuxi is not feeling well. I will take her out for a walk.”

“Okay, go.” Li Shutong then stared at Huo Yuxi’s stomach before saying, “You are pregnant now so you have to be careful with what you eat. Do you understand? Be especially careful when it comes to eating lamb meat.”

Jiang Yuning was amazed after listening to Li Shutong’s words.

Li Shutong had been staying at the Lu family mansion for such a long time. How could she not be influenced by the culture of the Lu family but still remain so unreasonably superstitious about everything?

“Mom, I am going to go home now too,” Jiang Yuning said to Fu Yahui as she put down the napkin that she had just used.

“Alright, go. Where are you staying now?” Fu Yahui casually asked.

“Jin Hui Yuan,” Jiang Yuning cautiously replied.

“It is on the way for me. If you want to, I can give you a ride home,” Lu Jingzhi quickly added to the conversation.

“Then…sorry to trouble you, second brother,” Jiang Yuning replied as she hurriedly grabbed her silver purse from the sofa.

As the both of them were very awkward around one another, Fu Yahui did not suspect that anything was going on between the two of them. All Fu Yahui knew was that Lu Jingzhi was the future heir of the Lu family with a bright future ahead of him, and that Jiang Yuning was merely a passer-by in his life. Furthermore, the both of them had always been so polite and courteous to one another ever since they were young. She felt that the reason that Lu Jingzhi helped Jiang Yuning was because he felt bad for her due to what Lu Zongye had done.


It was not only Lu Jingzhi—even Fu Yahui herself was disappointed at Lu Zongye and his mother.

Li Shutong was originally from a lower-class family and therefore, even though she pretended to be from the upper class, anyone could easily tell from her actions and speech that she was from a lower-class family. All Li Shutong cared about was calculating the gains and benefits that she could reap out of the Lu family. Fu Yahui knew that there would be more drama in future after becoming in-laws with Li Shutong. She just had to wait and see what drama would unfold.
