“That’s true. Our Lu family’s daughter doesn’t have to worry about being unwanted.” Mr. Lu was the first to see the light. He nodded and turned to Lu Yuqing. “Alright, I won’t force you.”

Lu Yuqing secretly gave Lu Xingzhi a thumbs up and praised him. However, Lu Xingzhi did not notice her actions. Instead, he took advantage of when everyone was talking to his second uncle to quietly pour the untouched milk from his cup into Jiang Yao’s cup. Then, he picked up his cup and went to the kitchen.

​

Lu Yuqing wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Initially, she wanted to complain to Jiang Yao, but she felt that Lu Xingzhi had just helped her out of her predicament after she thought about it. Therefore, it was not right for her to burn that bridge. She suppressed the urge to complain.

After Lu Xingzhi came back from the kitchen, he sat back down beside Jiang Yao. He hugged Jiang Yao’s waist with one hand, and with the other hand, he picked up the milk on the table and placed it in front of Jiang Yao to urge her to drink it. “Drink it while it’s hot.”

Jiang Yao acknowledged his request and did not suspect anything. She lowered her head and gulped a few mouthfuls. Then, she suddenly stopped. She looked at the milk in her hand and exclaimed, “Eh? I drank almost all of it just now. Why is there still so much?”

When Lu Yuqing heard that, she almost choked on an apple.

“I saw it! My brother poured his milk into your cup, Sister-in-law! He did not even drink the milk that Auntie poured for him!” Lu Xiaoxiao raised her hand high and shouted excitedly, “Brother doesn’t like to drink milk, goat’s milk, and all kinds of milk. He also doesn’t like things that are milk-flavored. ”

“I want your sister-in-law to drink more; she’s far too thin.”

Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao’s head lovingly. “Her studies are taxing on her brain, and she’s been working hard recently.”

“Thank you so much for that!”

Jiang Yao gritted her teeth.

She always felt that Lu Xingzhi’s last sentence meant something else, but it seemed like she was overthinking it when she looked at his serious expression.

Well, she hoped that she was only overthinking it. That guy should still be a decent person.

Jiang Yao knew that Lu Xingzhi did not like to drink milk, but when she saw Lu Xingzhi take the milk from Mrs. Lu, she thought that he would drink it on account of Mrs. Lu’s offer. She did not expect him to have a backup plan.

“Brother’s excuse is very nice,” Lu Xiaoxiao muttered and pouted before she turned to Jiang Yao and asked, “Sister-in-law, did your second brother recently have a stroke?

“When he saw me in town today, he actually greeted me with a smile and even praised me for dressing well. Did he take the wrong medicine today?”

Lu Xiaoxiao tugged at the clothes on her body and said, “In the afternoon, Auntie and I were cleaning my house. When we met him, we happened to be shopping at a small store in town. We were dirty, but he actually praised me for looking good! Do you think his brain is damaged?”

“He’s in a good mood.”

Only

Jiang Yao nodded. “Don’t worry. He’s going to the north after the New Year, so you won’t have many opportunities to meet him again. ”

Lu Xiaoxiao laughed. “Because he was betrayed by Yang Gaoshu and cuckolded? He’s so sad that he’s going to leave his hometown and wander outside?”

Jiang Yao was stunned for a second and then burst into laughter. Lu Xiaoxiao’s expression was too funny. Even Jiang Yao had to admit that she was inferior to her vicious tongue. She was so serious about insulting people, and only Lu Xiaoxiao could do it without any pretense.

While the whole family chatted and laughed, a few uninvited guests suddenly arrived from the Lu and Chen families. Chen Lanying was also there.
